Founded on the ruins of ancient
Rome and peopled by the ruggedest
races OF the middle ages, Spain easily
conquered the old world and discovered
and overran the new world Under the
rule of Charles i of Spain, better
known In history as Charles V of Ger

RATHER QUIET DAY
Santiago's Fall Causes LulI In Activity OF
War and Navy Departments.

| Washington, July 1S.-Wth the Santi-
ago campaign successfully closed. there
was a hull in the activity of the war and
navy departments. today, and the off
cials expressed the belief that the stirring
developments of the past few weeks would
now give way to the details of occupying
Santiago the shipping of Spanish prison
ers to Spain. coping with the yellow fever
and preparation for the next aggressive
campaign.
No reports from Gen. Shaftor or Adj
miral Sampson We're received during the
early part of the day. A dispatch was
received late last night. stating that the
entire number of fever cases up to that
time did not exceed 300 This lowered the
estimate by one-half from that given in
press dispatches and was source of sat
isfaction to the authorities.
Col. Alden, acting surgeon general, says
the situation is much less serious than
would appear at first glance, for while
the aggregate of 800 seems large. it is
relatively small wncn it is remembered
that there are 5000 troops at the front.
Surgeon Arthur of New York. has been
given carte blanche to get together at the
earliest moment a large number of con-
tract doctors and nurses familiar with
fever cases They will go to Santiago on
the Resolute. which will leave. tomorrow.
Inquiries have brought definite Informal
tion that Brig. Gen. Dufiield, whose con-
dition has been open to much doubt. was

attack is yielding really to treatment.

Washington. July 1S.-After three
| days consultation between the Presi-
dent, Secretary Alger ana Cen Brooke.
during which there was frequent com
munication with Gen. Miles at Sibo-
ney. the details of the Porto Rican
expedition were perfected ana the eX-
Gen. Miles, who is to command it. sail
inc. today, with some artillery and
Yale, to be followed quickly by an
army Of about 10000 men.
There are some notable differences
between the plans for this expedition
ana those for the stately naval page
ant that sailed away from Tampa I'M
der Gen. Skaters command to at
tack Santiago. First. there will be
practically no naval conveys, as the
navy department has declared that
they are unnecessary and that there
is not a Spanish warship in the West
Indies that dares thrust its bow out Of
port In the second place the exped-
ton does not start from one point, but
will be divided among several ports,
thus preventing the tremendous con-
gestion encountered at Tampa in the
effort to start the big fleet
Lastly, there will be no effort made
to get the ships away together, but
the transports will be allowed to find
their own way to their destination
without concerted movements. Gen.
Brooke will be the senior officer in
Miles command and upon him will
fall the responsibility for the execu
ton of the details of his superior's
plans.
Porto Rico is 500 miles from Siboney.
1t is estimated that Gen. Miles should
arrive, Wednesday night, at the point
selected for the landing and will hoist
the American flag at once over Porto
Rican soil. The point chosen for his
landing is kept secret. as the general
will land before the full body Of the
expedition is at hand and it is conse-
ouently not desirable that the enemy
should be able to assemble a superior
force to meet him.
