y cahlegram announces the sailing on
September > of the transport Mississippi
with Troops a and & Of the New York
cavalry and three troops Of PENNSYLVANIA
cavalry.
The trip from Porto Rico generally oc-
cupieS five days. and Gen. Miles was ey-
pected to reach quarantine about noon,
but the Obdam had not been sighted up To
that hour. There will be no parade of
the commandcrin-chiefo of the victorious
Porto Rican troops. Arrangements effect
ed by Depot -QuartermasIer iieut.-Col.
hmbeIl definitely preclude the possibility
OF the soldiers having chance to be re-
viewed III New York
Contracts We're made with the Erie
railroad whereby the Obdam is to land at
the railroad pier at the foot of Pavonia
street, Jersey City, and there the Wis
trains, including Pullman sleeping cars
for the sick, and taken directly to Mil
waukec.
The Pennsylvania troops are to be car
rcd over the Pennsylvania to Middle
town, Pa. to Camp Meade. The CON
tract of the railroad company calls for
the transportation Of the soldiers from
the ships, and the Chester WILL if possi-
bic, land at the Pennsylvania ferry slip.
If this is found to be impracticabe the
men will be taken in lighters to the sta
ton.
Gen. Miles plans are unknown. The
quartcrmaStcr' department has made no
arrangements for the transportation of
the commander and his staff, and il is
probable that Gen. Miles at least will re-
main day or two in New York and that
he will stop ut the orf-Astoria.
