First, there will be practically no
naval conveys; the navy department
has declared that they are unnecessary,
that there is not Spanish warship in
the West Indies that dare thrust its
bow out of port. In the second place,
the expedition does not start from one
point, but will be divided among sew
eral ports, thus preventing the ire
mendous congestion that was encoun-
tered 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 al
lowed to find their own way to their
destination without concerted move

May BE BIoodIess Campaign.
The purpose of Secretary Alger is
to make the Puerto Rican campaign a
short one. An overwhelming force
will be thrown upon the island, and it
is possible that bloodless victory will
be achieved when the Spanish become
convinced nat they have no reason
able chance TO resist successfully. The
expedition is to comprise 10000 men
al the start, and it will be swelled soon
to 10000 men, and, if necessary, to
10000 men, the equipment of the vol
unteer forces having now progressed
so we'll as to warrant the statement
that that number of men can be ready
for service in Puerto Rico within a
very short time. The entire body of
troops at Tampa will be taken, NUM-
boring about 1900 men, and including
a lot of heavy and light artillery under
command of Gen. Rodgers. The ex
petition will be particularly strong
with artillery, as some of that at
Santiago commanded by Gen. Randolph
is to be drawn upon. Gen. Brooke will
take with him from Chickamauga park
most of the First and Second brigades
of his army corps, the First.
The Naval Plans.
The part which the navy is TO take
in the assault against Puerto Rico has
been fully matured. The several trans
port fleets will have with them one or
two auxiliary craft carrying strong
secondary batteries of six or eight six
Founders. Secretary Long said that no
time had been fixed for the departure
of Admiral SIMPSONS fleet for San
Juan. As to the naval plans he would
only say that they would cooperate in
every way with the movements of the
army.
