GEN. MILES.

NEW YORK, July 20.-A Washing
ton special to the Evening Journal
says that Gen. Miles is urging the
president and the war board to allow
him to lead an army of invasion to
Spain after the conquest of Porto Rico
He strongly argued that the appearan-
ce of an American army ready to in
wade the kingdom would force peace
even more quickly than the presence

About The Disposition of Captured
Property.


WASHINGTON, July 2O.-When Sec
retary Longs attention was called to
report of a contention having arisen
between Sampson and Shafter over the
disposition of Spanish vessels in the
harbor of Santiago he said the idea of
any difference between the war and
navy departments was too small q
thing to be discussed. Honors are be
ing properly jointly sbsred by the ar
my and the navy.
The war department has very SEN
sibly taken the ground that it has no
means of manning those boats, 1t is
happy to turn that work over to the
navy. So far as the property goes, it
does not belong either to the army or
the navy; it belongs to the United
States.

WORTH MILLIONS
The Money Value of the Property
Surrendered at Santiago Is Very
Large.

WASHINGTON, July 20.-Army Of
fcer stated this morning that the ten
thousand Mausers rifles delivered to
Shafter at Santiago are worth at least
a hundred thousand dollars, and. the
ten million rounds of am
munition over quarter of a
million. These items, together with
those ships of Cervera's squadron that
can be raised and the Spanish vessels
in the harbor, it is thought will bring
the grand total value of the property
that has fallen into the hands of the
United States at Santiago up into the
millions.

FOR LINCOLN DAY.
Elaborate Preparations for Its Ob
 servance in the Schools.

The memory of President Lincoln, whose birthday falls on Saturday, the 12th inst, will be periodically honored by the public school children of San Fran cisco on the afternoon of the preceding Friday. Tn all of the primary. grammar and high schools pupils and teachers will rally to the occasion. Superintendent Webster has sent circulars to all the schools, directing principals to make nec- essary preparation for the proper ob- servance of the day. Following is the general programme suggested by W. w. Stone, president of the Lincoln Monu- ment League:
 Patriotic song and salute to the flag; address; declamation, Lincoln; Lin coin song; quotations from the sayings of Abraham Lincoln, by pupils arising in their places and repeating, one pupil at a time; Gettysburg Address," by a pupil; poem, ''Why Should the Spirit of Mortal Be Proud?' 0incolns favorite poem); patriotic song; tableaux or group ing, to represent historical events in the life of Lincoln; unveiling (have a good sized picture or bust of Lincoln on a table, yelled. Let a pupil unveil it, giving at the same time a previously prepared speech): song. Battle Hymn; remarks by visiting veterans and invited guests; America"
 In the evening there will probably be a gathering of citizens, at which the Mayor will be invited to preside. A Lincoln song, written expressly for the occasion, will be sung.

Mrs. Chalmers, Principal of the Edison School,
 to Be Arrested.
She Is Accused of Mistreatinq Laura Chase, a 1O-Year-
 Old Girl.
The Latter's Sister Will Swear to g Complaint Against the Offend
 ing Teacher,

Mrs. Chalmers, principal of the Edi- son Primary School at Church and Hill streets. Is to be arrested to-day on a charge of battery. She is accused of slapping Laura Chase, aged 10 years, in the face with her open hand simply because she had made mistake" in her studies. Last night the sister of the girl visited police headquarters and asked that warrant be issued for the arrest of Mrs. Chalmers.
 Il think it is an outrage that an ln- nocent girl should be subjected to such treatment" she remarked. Mrs. Chalmers could have punished her in some other way without attempting to disgrace her in the eyes of the other pupils by skipping her face.
 My sister is rather small for her age, and as far as I know she IS model pupil. Last Monday she nap pened to make some mistake In her studies, when the principal. who was examining her, walked down the aisle and deliberately struck her In the 1ace with her open hand.
 'The poor girl was in condition bordering on hysteria when she reached home, and as she is without mother I concluded to take up her fight if for nothing more than to teach Mrs. Chalmers that she has no right to slap a childs face. If she had rep rimanded her or even chastised her In a mild way I would not have felt so bad
 Miss Chase was advised to see the Superintendent of Schools and 1T her story was found to be correct to file charges against the offending princi- pal. ..
 'I want her punished by the court, , she remarked, with an angry toss or her head. Mrs. Chalmers has com mitted an unwarranted assault on my sister, and I ask that she be made to suffer the consequences.
 The indignant sister was told she could procure a warrant for her ar rest on a charge of battery, which she threatened to do this morning.
