Washington, July %. = Secretary
Long said that the preparations for
dislatching Watson's squadron to
European waters were going on I'M
interrIptedly, but that the departure
necessarily would await the arrival of
the warships at Puerto Rico. the Mas
sachusetts and other ships being re-
Quired for conveying the troops to
Puerto Rico. This disposed Of a, re-
port circulated during the day that the
expedition had been abandoned. 1t
was felt that the report was the more
Gated purpose to yield to the i'm
piled threats from European sources
that coalition would result from an
expedition to the Spanish coast.
Neither the navy nor state depart
ments look to any embarrassment
from European quarters outside Of
Spain as result of the movement
against the coast Of the peninsula.
During the day orders were sent to
Norfolk to hurry forward work on the
Golfers which are to accompany the
Watson expedition. Had the army
troop ships been able to go to Puerto
Rico without naval convoy the Wat
son squadron
Could Have Got Away
within the next few days, as the war
board had wished to close all prelim-
inarics by next Saturday. But as the
battleship Massachusetts, cruisers
Columbia, Cincinnati, Dixie and Yale,
together with several lesser craft,
We're considered necessary as a patrol
for the Miles expedition, this changes
the plans slightly. The Dixie is al
most certain to be in the Watson
squadron, and the Massachusetts is
likely to be. Secretary Long says,
however, that the delay Of the Watson
squadron is incident to conveying the
troops to Puerto Rico, and does not
mean that the start will be postponed
until the Puerto Rican operations are
concluded. The report from BARGE
Iona that the people were so fearful
of the approach of the Watson squad
ron that they We're urging France to
establish a protectorate over the Cata-
lonia district, including Barcelona,
was dismissed by officials and men,
bers of the diplomatic corps best in
formed on the affairs Of France as
fantastic speculation, quite unwar-
ranted by any actual movement now
on foot. 1t is said to be thoroughly
we'll established that France is not
lending helping hand to Spain in

GEN. MILES HAS STARTED.

At Last the Puerto Ricnn Expedition
IL Under Way.
Washington, July %. Gen. Miles,
leading the army expedition against
Puerto Rico, started at 3 O'clock yes.
terday afternoon from siboney, Cuba,
for q point on the the island of Puerto
Rico, where it is the intention that he
shall land, and erect 10 base for. the
expeditions from Tampa, Charleston
and New. York to fall into his column.
These expeditions are already under
way. some Of them with two or three
days start OF Gen. Miles, SO: that the
delay should not be very great. After
all the dificulty, about the naval con-
yoy and the first conclusion OF the
naval authorities that none was neces-
sary,. the: strength Of that now fur
nished Is surprising. There is q battle

sets: an effective protected cruiser.
the Cincinnati; a speedy and we'll
armed gunboat, the Annapolis, and
four vessels of the auxiliary navy,
which have already proved by their
performance in Cuban waters that
they are fully equal to the ordinary
gunboat in offensive power. These
are the Gloucester, which dis
tinguished herself in the destruction
Of Cervera's squadron; the Wasp,
which has attained an enviable
Notorjety as n Disturbcr
Of Spanish blockhouses; the Leyden,
which for time was the sole repre-
sentative of United States power in
Havana harbor, and the Dixie. Sec
rotary Alger expects that Gen. Miles.
on the Yale, will arrive at his destina-
ton on Sunday morning with 5000
men under his command. A day later
will come 1000 men on the transports
and the day following that $500 more.
Whether the landing will be deferred
until the arrival of this entire force,
or whether Gen. Miles will take the
initiative and hoist the flag himself on
Puerto Rican soil is left to the discre-
ton Of that officer. 1t is the depart
ment's intention that he shall not lack
for troops or equipment, and this first
expedition may be followed by several
others as fast as the troops can be
gotten ready until word comes from
the general that he does not need any
more. Gen. Schwan's brigade, COM
prising the Fifth, Eleventh and Nine

from Tampa to join Gen. Miles, and it

Washington, July 22-Arrangements
have practically been concluded by
the government for the transportation
of the Spanish prisoners at Santiago
from Cuba to Spain. The contract was
awarded to the Spanish Transatlantic
company, represented by j. NJ: Cebal-
agrees to carry the prisoners from
Cuban ports to Spain at the rate of $50
for each enlisted man and $55 for each
commissioned officer, subsistence to be
furnished by the company on the army
basis as provided for in the govern
ment's advertisement for bids. The
award provides also that the company
shall have five ships at Santiago in
nine days, two in seventeen days and
CROUCH to complete the transportation
OF the prisoners in twenty-one days
from to-day. Two days ago Col. Heck
er, In charge Of the transportation Of
troops in the quartermasters depart
ment of the army, went to New York
to consult with shipping companies
concerning the transportation of Span
ish troops
Surrendered Mt Santiago.
Bids. which he had previously advcr-
tised for, were opened at the army
building in New York yesterday. Col.
Hecker returned to Washington last
night. He had a conference at the
war department with Secretary Alger,
Quartermaster General Iudington and
Adjt. Gen. Corbin. The bids of the
several companies We're considered,
that of the Spanish Transatlantic COM
pany finally being accepted. as, in all
respects, it was regarded as the best
made. On the basis of 24.OOO men and
LOCO officers it will cost the govern
ment $535,O0O to transport the pris-
oners. The ships will fly the Spanish
colors and will be manned probably
entirely by Spanish crews. 1t was re-
marked as one Of the curious develop
ments of the war that the United
States government should enter into
a friendly contract with company.
many of whose vessels are auXiIiaries
to the Spanish navy, and some Of
which have been captured or destroyed
by the navy of the United States.
