ABANDONEO2--NOT MUCH

Washington, July N--Statements hav-
ing been published that the Watson expe-
dition 10 the shores Of Spain had been
abandoned, Secretary Long this afternoon
authorized a specific denial of their accu-
racy.
The expedition" said the secretary,
has not been abandoned. but merely de-
ferred until the Porto Rican situation is
clearer, so that We may know better what
ships it will be necessary to retain in
American waters. The only question was
whether the expedition should sail now
or a week or 50 hence. II will be sent
TO Spain when the Porto Rican campaign
permits"
Secretary Long had a long conference
with the president today, presumably re-
lating 10 the departure of the Porto Ri
can expedition. The secretary said that
the time Of departure Of Commodore Wat

REST FOR THE FIGHTERS

Santiago de Cuba, via Kingston, ia
maica, July 1.-10:15 a. m.-General SHAFT
ter has opened a. cable office here and is
in communication with Washington in
regard to the disposition OF the Fifth
army corps, which consists of those
troops which came with him from Tampa
and the reinforcementS from the four
transports which have since been unload
ed. Except the Thirty-third and part of
the Thirty-fourth Michigan, none of the
latter have been in action, but all are
camped at the same place and so far as
health considerations go General McKib-
bin seems TO have held tho opinion that
the Fifth corps would join the Porto Rico
expedition under General Miles as soon
as Santiago should fall.
This was the evident intention when the
invasion army left the United States, but
the condition of the men now, according
to the physicians and commanding offic-
ers, is such that the entire corps should
return north at once. General Miles has
cabled that he does not want and will
not need a single man among them and
he believes that after their hard cam
paign they should be given a rest of at
least two or three weeks.
General Skaters messages to the same
effect have been most urgent and the doc
tors say the men should be given a rest
of at least two or three weeks.
Tn doctors say the men should be sent
into camp in the mountains of North
Carolina or western Maine for a month
Washington agrees to this, and will do
everything possible, the cable dispatches
of today say to carry the army away
from here. But there is a lack of trans
ports. In addition to the Porto Rico
troops. which viii require forty steamers
for their conveyance, the authorities here
ara still counting upon having to convey
the $4,000 Spanish prisoners to Cadiz. The
latter want to go as soon as possible. and
it appears from here that our government
cannot get sufficient vessels. and this
fact holds the Fifth corps here, doing
nothing. The men are anxious to get
away.
The cavalry division has been sent into
the mountains at its own request to see
if it canot get into shape to join General
Miles. and if no fever develops the men
may go TO San Juan de Porto Rico.
The Twenty infantry is acting as
guards and as nurses at the hospitals of
Juragua, and more of them are needed
The colored troops are all likely TO re-
main here to attend to the sick and to
hold Santiago
General Shafter has cabled to Wash
ington that it is necessary that he should
10,
and the probability is that a corps will
leave within the next ten days.
All our men are now encamped within
the fighting line where they have been
for two weeks. excepting General Wheel
ers men, who have been sent into the
hills. General Wheeler is Still III. but he
resists the pleas Of his friends to return
to the United States.
