LANDING IN PORTO RICO
rs PROBABLE THIS WEEK
A War Conference Held at the White
HOuse-Gen. Brooke to As
sist Gen. Miles.

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-An important
conference was held at the White House
last night, the participants being, be-
sides President Mckinley, Secretary
Long, Admiral Sicard and Captain
ntanan OF the war board. Adiutant
General Corbin was present during part
OF the deliberations.
Inc happy conclusion of the campaign
against Santiago affords the president
ana his advisers intense satisfaction.
but no disposition is manifested TO let
the war rest for moment
Even before the details Of the Santi.
ago campaign have cleared away the
expedition against Porto Rico absorbs
the attention of the President. He
tulIy realizes that the war can be pros.
ecuted to speedy and successful issue
only pressing the advantages already
gained, and, as one of the officials ex.
pressed 1t last night "The President
proposes to strike while the iron is hot. {"
Arrangements for the Porto Rico ey.
pedition were under discussion bv the
president and the war board last night.
~ WV VI bLAASC udNS before the
details OF the new invasion are worked
out, but it is probable that before the
end OF present week the military
forces OF the expedition will have ef.
fected landing not far from San Juan.
Prior to the landing a naval demon.
stration probably will be made against
the San Juan Notifications. For time
it was supposed that few if any of the
troops now Under General S6after,s
command at Santiago would be sent TO
Porto Rico, but it is known now that ar
least portion of Skaters command
will be in the new expedition. General
Brooke, who is scheduled to 90 to Porto
Rico, desired to take with him the
troops that constituted his CORPS at
Chickamauga; but it has been deter.
mined not to send that corps in its en-.
tirety, and only part of it will 90.
1t is understood that General Miles
who is to have general command of the
operations in Porto Rico, will not return
to the United States, but will proceed
directly to point near San Juan with
such of the military forces now at San.
tiago as are to form part of the expe-
dition against Porto Rico.

The Horse of the Ohio Officer Also
Killed Under Him.
WASHINGTON, July IS.-A cablegram
from Playa del Este, Cuba, received
Yesterday, conveys the information that
Major Webb @. Hayes of the First Ohio
cavalry, son of the late President Hayes,
was wounded on Friday, July |, the
first day of the battle Of Santiago. At
the request of Major Hayes, no an
nouncement of the matter was made in
the official dispatches.
His regiment did not participate in
the engagement, being now under wait.
ing orders at Tampa Major Hayes was
detached from his command and as
signed to temporary duty on General
Houng's staff. While acting in that
capacity his horse was killed under him
and he was wounded. That his wound
was not particularly serious is indicated
by the fact that he is out of the hospital
and again ready for duty.

TAX REFORM IN NEW YORK.

The Merchants Exchange of Buffalo,
by unanimous vote, recently adopted
a resolution approving the principle Of
local option in taxation, long advocated
by the New York City Tax Reform AS
sociation, and the Buffalo Express, COM
menting thereon, says:
The exemption Of personal property
from taxation by Buffalo and Erie
county would bring incalculable benefit
to this community. 1t would also per-
NIT the owners of such personality as
cannot be concealed to stand in the
same position as the great mass of
possessors of personality who do not
pay taxes upon such property. The
personal property tex is admitted to be
colossal failure. The sooner 1t is
abolished in either local or state sys-
TENS the better.
A local option bill has come near
passing this New York legislature
once or twice, proposing to give to each
county and to cities the option of lay
ing all taxes on one, two or all of these
three kinds OF property-real estate, or
land inclusive of improvements; land
values, or land exclusive of improve
ments, and personality. A dozen years
ago Mayor Abram s. Hewitt, in his in
augural to the New York Council,
strongly urged the obtaining by the
city of such an enabling act from the
legislature as would permit 1t to exempt
personal property from taxation, since
which time there has hardly been a ses-
sion of that legislature in which this
question has not been an exceedingly
live one.

This matter was left to our government

Acted Wisely.

The democratic executive committee act ed wisely and well in its session at Mont gomery yesterday in fixing an early date for the state convention and in arranging for the county conventions but one week in advance. This action will save the busi- ness interests of the state from a long po- 1itieal contest, which leads to the disrup- ton of business and leads to no good.
 The Age-Herald regrets that Birmingham was not chosen as the place for holding the convention, but this is mere detail. The executive committee prescribed rules gov erning the qualifications of participants in the primaries, as The Age-Herald sug- gested, rules which would bring about har- mony and unity in the party.
 The political excitement in the state will be brief. On the 20th of April it will have ended, except in the congressional contests. This is well.

lower cost of power. All the theories and speculations and opinions that have been printed In relation to this subject volumes in extent-are not worth consider ation alongside these conclusions of the stockholders of the 'Massachusetts' at their annual meeting.
 They practically say that their Lowell mill did not make them any money; Ion the other hand,' to quote the dispatch, their Georgia mill did return "a fair profit.' That settles it, so far as the Massachusetts mill of Lowell is concerned, and 1t will soon settle it so far as the rest of the eastern mills are concerned. The days of theorizlng are ended; the time for action has arrived. The mill amid the cotton fields wins. Why 1t wins does not so much matter. That it does win in an annual meeting of stock holders held in Boston is glory enough for one day.

The Oregon Election.

The Oregon election in June is attracting considerable attention. The state has long been close and stubbornly contested. MT. Mckinley carried the state by a plu- rality of 2,100 and the Palmer and Buck ner ticket received 300 votes. The repub- hcans, at recent gathering of represen- tatives of state clubs, accepted to it's full est extent the Wall street platform in- dorsed MT. McKinley's recent New York speech, and swallowed whole Secretary of the Treasury Gage. This makes the issue. for 2,000 delegates from 269 clube were pres resent the will and desires of the repub lican party of the state.
 The democrats are also alert The demo- cratic state central committee has just vantages of fusion at the coming election. They invite the populists and silver repub- licans to join them in common effort. "We welcome,' they say. "the hope that the three organizations may make com ST E5yt45 50S&sd s.:SG we earnestly trust that some plan may be discovered upon which all three of them may unite in some manner which is alike fair and honorable to each and all of them so that without any sacrifice of principles the common people may present a united and unbroken front in favor of government by the people,"
 Nothing has been developed to indicate that this warm and generous invitation to union will not be accepted. The very nature of the issue made up by the repub- lican clubs will lead to a common effort on the part of the opponents of National Bank Gage. The people of Oregon are well aware that their election will be the key note of the grand campaign, and neither side shows any disposition to shirk the real issue. Lines will be drawn on a national basis. State issues are not at all prominent in Oregon this year. The fight is on the outpost line, but it is none the less fight for the citadel. A govern or, an United States senator and two mem- bers of congress are at stake, and all feel that as Oregon goes so will go the coun- try.

TELEPHONE CALLS.
AN IMPORTANT MATTER.

The fact that The Age-Herald will issue a 24-pape paper next sunday should not escape the attention of the enterprising citizens of Birmingham. This issue will be scattered broadcast, as straws to the four winds, and will reach the homes of hundreds of people who will attend the Mardi Gras festivities for the sole purpose Of shopping. Sample copies will be sent out to postmasters at the numerous towns in Alabama, with a request that they be distributed freely among the citizens residing in their respective commu- mites.
 Advertisers, with a view to business, should not allow this opportunity to pass unnoticed. as it will afford greater advantages for them to reach the outside world than has ever be- fore been offered by the press of Birming- ham.
 This official edition of the Age-Herald will be beautifully and appropriately illustrated, and will contain interesting reading matter of every description.
 The honest advertiser the man who deals in facts-win readily appreciate the adyan- tages offered in next Sundays issue of the e-Herald, and will grasp the opportunity for scattering his name and business before the people throughout the state.

The impression which seems to prevail in some localities in the surrounding coun- try that smallpox is prevailing here to such an extent as to make it dangerous for vis- itors to attend the forthcoming Mardi Gras festivities is caused by apprehension not based on the facts. As stated in this paper some days ago, Dr. Magruder, of the Marine Hospital corps, in charge of the disease, says the epidemic which was here has practically passed out of existence, and no disease prevails here at all that is not confined in the pest camp. There has not been a case in the city for a number of days, and the medical experts have assured the people that all danger has passed. In other words, there is not a case of smallpox in the city of Birming- ham, nor is it at all likely there will be one soon.
