MOVEMENT OF TROOPS.
An Early Peace Anticipated.

The war has not SO many interesting
features as when there was fighting,
but there has been no delay in making
further preparations for its speedy
prosecution. Porto Rico is now to be
invested. and all week troops have
been forwarded to that point, and in a
few days 5000 men will be on Porto
Rican soil. all day Sunday and Mon
day troops were passing here over the
G. & o. for Newport News. There were
usually Is Pullman cars and about A
freight cars, holding baggage and
horses, drawn by two engines. The
men were from Ohio, Illinois, Michi-
gan and New York, and were a sturdy
set of young fellows, begrimed with
travel of course and Drowned by the
sun from their camp life at Chicamau-
ga. These men are now embarking
on transports as fast as the ships
reach the warf. On Sunday morning
Gen. Brooke and staff passed, but it
was at six O'Clock and the General was
not up.
It is the avowed policy of the gov
eminent to make the Porto Rican
campaign short and sharp.
The prisoners captured at Santiago
will soon be shipped to Spain. Some
have already left New York. Admiral
Cervera and about 70 other officers are
at the Naval Academy at Annapolis.
Capt. Eulate who commanded the Wis
caya, is very gloomy and it was feared
he would commit suicide. The Span
ish and American soldiers at Santiago
are On the best of terms, and the most
law abiding government has been
maintained there.i
Garcia, the Cuban General has gone
eff in huffish mood because he WAS
not taken into Gen. Skaters con
| fidence at the surrender. The Cuban
army under him is lot of pillagers
ragged dirty and hungry and their
whole fight during the campaign seem
ed to be to get near provision wag-
on. The government was much an
noyed however that Gen. .Shafter did
not treat Garcia more politely and
this was mistake. The Spaniards
| now claim that all the Cubans will
join them and fight the United States
This will hardly happen since they
have got taste of American food and
have seen little American money.
