Sugars were moderately active and

out important change. Wheat was
weak on call, due to easier cables, lack

DEATHS AT SEAvEY'S.

Portsmouth, N. H., July 19.-All the
prisoners In the sick bay Of the Harvard
were landed Monday afternoon and
taken to the new hospital building near
the other fever-stricken patients.
While the condition of the men in the
hospital, speaking generally, is improv-
ing, the critical cases are still likely to
result fatally, two deaths having oc-
CURED yesterday. At $3.50 these bodies
were given burial with the usual honors.
Orders were received allowing the
transfer OF six Spanish nurses from the
stockade to the naval hospital, but as
their officers refused TO vouch for their
safe return. Colonel Forney had them
returned to the stockade. The health
OF all the men inside the stockade is ex-
cellent.
The Harvard took on board supplies
of water, coal and stores, while the
Massachusetts Volunteer Aid associa-
tion sent on n barge load Of food and
clothing which is 10 be forwarded to
the men at the front.
The arrangement OF the guard and
battery at the camp now makes escape
out OF the question. Captain Russell Is
quoted as saying: You cannot drive
these Spaniards outside the stockade.
They are Just beginning to find out what
life is."

that German ships had right to enter

claim which Admiral Dewey declined
TO recognize.
"It is reported that Admiral Won

There is also still another reason. a
purely military one. Ten thousand
Spanish troops are at Holguin, Man

distance OF Santiago. and they might
not lose an opportunity to recover the
ground lost at Santiago If the place were
left insufficiently protected. There

Washington. July 19.-The details OF
the Porto Rican expedition were per-
fected Monday. and the expedition itself
was gotten under way, General Miles.
who Is to command IL, sailing with some
artillery and troops for Porto Rico on
the Yale. to be followed quickly by an
army Of about 10000 men. There are
notable differences between the plans
for this expedition and those for the
stately pageant that sailed away from
Tampa to attack Santiago. First, there
will be practically no naval conveys
They are unnecessary, for there is not
q Spanish warship in the West Indies
that dare thrust it's bow out of port.
In the second place the expedition does
not start from one point. but will be di-
vided among several ports. thus pre-
venting the tremendous congestion en-
countered at Tampa in the effort TO
start the big feet. Lastly. there will be
no effort made to get the ships away to-
gether, but the. transports will be al
lowed to find their own way TO their
destination without concerted move
ments.
General BROOKE VIII De tHe seHior oi-
ficer in Miles command. and upon him
Will fall the responsibility for the exc
.cution OF the details of his superior's
plans. Porto Rico is 500 miles from
Siboney. General Miles should arrive
by Wednesday night at the point select
ed for the landing, where he will hoist
the American flag over Porto Rican soil.
The point is kept secret, as the general
will land before the full body of the ex-
pedition is at hand. and II is not desr-
able that the enemy should be able to
assemble a superior force TO meet him.
The distance from Charleston. where
the first body of troops for Miles ex-
pedition was to start, Is more than
double the distance from Santiago to
Porto REQ, so that the transports which
sail from the,former city can scarcely
reach Miles before the early part of next

The purpose OF Secretary Alger is to
make the Porto Rican campaign short
one. An overwhelming force will be
thrown upon the island, and II is possible
that bloodless victory will be achieved
when the Spanish become convinced that
they have not a reasonable chance to
resist successfully. The expedition Is to
comprise 80, 900 men at the start and Ii
will be soon swelled to 10000 men. and IL
necessary 10000 men, the equipment OF
the volunteer forces having now pro-
gressed so well as to warrant the state
ment that that number OF men can be
ready for service in Porto Rico within
a very short time. The entire body OF
troops at Tampa will be taken, number
ing about 1900 men. and including a
lot of heavy and light artillery under
command OF General Rodgers, The ex-
pedition will be particularly strong in
artillery, az some OF that at Santiago

that the government ordered the adj

making peace is now universally adj
mltted; but the advisability Of making

Partly owing to sagasta's indecision.

, 1t has been decided that none OF the
troops who participated in the actual
fighting before Santiago shall be em-
ployed on the Porto Rico expedition.
There are two reasons for this. first tho
men have suffered severely from hard
ships. the climate and from fever, and
are entitled TO rest; second. II is
deemed to be very bad practice to allow
the soldiers who have been exposed TO

The part which the navy is to take In
the assault against Porto Rico has been
fully matured. The several transport
fleets will have with them one or two
auxiliary craft, carrying strong second
ary batteries of six or eight six-pound-
ers. The report that three monitors are
on their way from Key West TO San
Juan is unauthorized. II Is the general
understanding, however. that the navy
will rely mainly on armored ships for the
Commandment of San Juan, as the big
battleships and monitors afford the best
means of offensive warfare, while their
armor belts protect them from such fire
as the San Juan batteries can bring to
bear. The fortifications there are much
like those of Santiago, with castle at
the entrance Of the harbor and number
OF lesser Notifications leading up to the
city Theeo however Gre viewed vr'fh
less awe since an examination OF the
promontory batteries at Santiago has
shown them to be antiquated and cap

The movement of the ships from San

begin at once, and II is probable that
some of SIMPSONS ships were detached
yesterday and proceeded with General
Miles first expedition towards Porto
Rico. Tney will be needed to cover the
