COUNTY ROADS and BRIDGES
THE ASSISTANCE FURNISHED
BY THE STATE
Names of the Counties md the
Amount Each Has Drawn Under
the Provisions of the Omnibus
Bill of the Last legislature
pared by the State Auditor.

State Auditor Dunn has just COM
pleted a statement of the amounts
paid out during the year in assisting
counties and towns throughout the
state in building roads and bridges. IS
provided for by the passage of the
omnibus road and bridge bill. at tne
last session of the legislature. For
some time past the internal improve
ment fund has been exhausted and the
state has been unable to assist more
than half the towns and counties re-
ceiving appropriations from the state.
Quite a large sum Of the internal i'm
provement fund will become available
after Aug. l, at which time part of
the appropriations still due will be
paid. In quite a number of cases
bridges and roads have been construct
ed and paid for by the county on the
strength of an early payment by the
state of the amounts due. These cour-
ties will be first served and payments
will be made from the first of August
until some time in the fall, when, it Is
expected, that the states liability to all
counties on the road and bridge appro-
priation will be finally settled up.
AS rule the state appropriation has
been contingent upon an appropriation
from the county, which has resulted in
considerable pains being taken by the
county authorities in the construction
of internal improvements as a portion
of the cost came out of the county
fund. The list of bridges and roads
built this year includes the largest
number in the northern counties, as
the tide Of immigration during the last
three or four years has resulted in fast
settling up some OF the more northern
counties with first-class lot of set
tiers who have at the outset taken
an active interest In improving their
surroundings, in many cases construct
ing roads themselves. The states as
sistance to these counties Is especially
we'll timed and every dollar thus ex-
pended will bring back into the state
treasury a largely increased revenue.
Although the omnibus appropriation
bill has always carried with 1t the
greater number of road and bridge ap-

ing of Troops.
WASHINGTON, July LIT Is re-
garded as certain by the officers Of the
war department that Gen. Miles and
the contingent of the Porto Rican eX-
petition are now en- route from San
tiago to the point in Porto Rico, where
landing is to be effected.
Secretary Alger said this evening
that he hoped and expected Gen. Miles
with his forces from Cuba would get
away tonight.
At 8 o'clock tonight Gen. Miles Was
still in Cuban waters, but so far as the
war officials here are informed, the van
guard of the Porto Rican expedition
was finally prepared to leave.
The war department exchanged sew
eral cable dispatches with Gen. Miles
during the afternoon and early even
Ing regarding the details of the eX-
petition, but in none of his dispatches
did the general Indicate the precise
hour Of his departure. The impression
conveyed is that he was awaiting the
naval vessels, which are TO act as con-
Voys.
1t is stated definitely that Gen. Miles
has no Intention to await the arrival
of the several parts of the expedition
from the United States before moving
upon Porto Rico. 1t is expected, in
fact, that his purpose is with such
troops as he now has, to break ground
on the island for the forces that will
arrive later from this country.
His landing Will be effected, if neces-
sary, under the guns Of the vessels of
the navy. It is not anticipated that
serious resistance will be encountered,
as the Spanish force on the entire ISL
ard is only Slightly larger than the
force which accompanies Gen. Miles
Arrangements fer the departure Of
the troops from this country, which are
to comprise the greater part of the ex-
petition, are being pressed with the
utmost vigor. Difficulty is being ex-
pcrienced in securing prorer tran ports,
but that in measure las been over
come. Within a day or two 10000 men,
1t is said, Will be ahoat for Porto Rico,
and the remainder of the expedition
will be sent forward as rapidly as pos
sible.
This afternoon and evening the COM
missary department OF the army was
engaged in making preparations for the
subsistence Of the Porto Rican expedi-
ton. Ii is an enormous task and Gen
agan, the commissary general, is still
busily engaged in perfecting his plans

KEY WEST, Fla, July 19.-It was
definitely established today that the
Spanish steamer San Domingo, Of $500
tons, was fired and run ashore at Cape
France by the auxiliary gunboat Eagle,

from the Eagle boarded the San DOM

steamer could not be floated, and she
was set on fire after fifty head Of cat

been shot.
The San Domingo carried a large car

CUBAN JUNTA SPEAKS,
Has No Fear of Mistrentment From
the United States.

NEW YORK, July 19.-Dr. Lincoln
de zayos, of the Cuban junta, said to-
day that the reports that the Cubans
resent the purpose of the United States
to establish temporary military or
other provisional government in the
conquered territory in Cuba was with
out foundation.
'The Cubans," said he, know that
such arrangement is necessary, and
they do not expect the United State
to turn the island of Cuba over to them
or any part Of it for their self-govern-
ment until the island is entirely under
American control. and then only after
full provision is made for a permanent,
stable government. The Cubans do re-

WASHINGTON, July 19.-Nothing OF
Importance came before tod5y's cabinet
meeting, one of the members remark
ing that an adjournment might have
been taken at the end of the fifteen
minutes, so far as the transaction of
business was concerned. A dispatch
from Admiral Dewey was read stating
that there was no change in the sit
uation there. 1t was the opinion of
members Of the cabinet that the report
of strained relations between Admiral
Dewey and the German admiral is
without any foundation in fact. This
is indicated by the fact that Admiral
Dewey's dispatch was taken to Hong
Kong by a German war ship. Both the
president and Secretary Day are said
to have assured the cabinet members
that nothing of an aggravating nature
had occurred at Manila between the
American and German forces, and
their remarks gave rise to the belief
that the prs sident has received fresh
assurances from Germany OF her in
tertions 10 adhere strictly to her policy
OF neutrality.
Secretary Alger zaid after the cab net
meeting, that Gen. Miles had expected
to start for Porto Rico yesterday, but
had been unable to get away. He
would start today, the secretary
thought. 1t was said that the cam
