Key West, May 1.-The arrival of Gen.
Emilio Nunez. Col. Acosta and Senior j.
r. Cartaya has greatly augmented the
enthusiasm of the Cuban colony. Gen
Nunez has been the director OF numer-

throng. Senior Cartayn was In charge

Island.
Tonight Gen. Nunez and his party are
arranging for the departure on the Mas
cote tomorrow OF the Key West con-
tingent of the Cuban regiment now
forming at Tampa. The Cubans hope
this regiment win he one OF the first

instructions from Senior Estranda Pal
ma. Tonight he endeavored to obtain
passage to the fleet to confer with
Rear Admiral Sampson, but he was un-
successful. as no boat left for the flag
ship.
Gen. Nunez is much taken with the
idea Of making Matanzas the base of
operations. Although the city itself is
subject to the fevert the hills, a mile and
n half back from the coast would fur

way more healthful than Tampa. The

QUESTION OF TRANSPORTS.
Where the Army Of the Porto Rico
Expedition Nav Land.

WASHINGTON, July 1S-The dues-
ton of transports for the Porto Rico
expedition, and that of providing sub
sistence for the army which is to go
there, was the topic which occupied the
attention of the officials of the Quarter
masters and the Subsistence Depart
ments of the army during the entire af-
ternoon. There are ample transports
available, scattered all along the Allan
tic and Gulf coasts and at Santiago.
and these will be concentrated as rap
idly as possible at the embarking
points Subsistence stores also are
abundant at some of the points from
which the troops are to start and these
will be supplemented by additional sup
plies as fast as they are needed. A vast
quantity will be shipped from Newport
News and orders have been given for
dispatching to that place 6,OOO,OOO
pounds of these stores and 100000
pounds Of refrigerated beef.
1t is suggested in some quarters that
the army may land in Porto Rico on
the southern coast, near the city of
Ponce, to the southwest Of San Juan.
Ponce is situated on a plain about two
miles from the seaboard, is the resi-
dence of the military commander of
| the district, and is commercially the
second city of Importance on the ISL
| and. A fine road leads to the port
(Playa), where is situated the custom
! house, the Office of the Captain Of the
port and all the consular officers The
port is spacious and will hold vessels
with twenty-five feet draught, an i'm
portant consideration in the landing
The city proper has no military de-
fenses, but in the hills to the north
of the town a series of earth intrench-
ments have been constructed. West
Of Ponce, where the railroad and mill
tary touch the shore, earthworks have
been constructed to guard this strategic
point There are about thirty mount
ain howitzers in Ponce available for
the defense of the city and the rail-
road.
The army, if landed there, would be
compelled to travel fifty or sixty miles
across the mountainous country to
reach San Juan. There is. however, a
main road, irregular and circuitous,
connecting Ponce and San Juan. The
northern coast of the island extends
| in an almost straight line from east
to west and is high and rugged The
only harbors it has are the following:
San Juan, surrounded by mangrove
swamps and protected by the Cabras
and the Cabritas Islands, and some
very dangerous banks; the anchoring
ground of Arecibo. somewhat unpro-
tected, and which has been mentioned
as possible landing place; and the
coves of Cangrejos and Condado. Dur
ing the present season the ports on this
coast are safe and commodious, unless
visited by hurricanes.

NO PEACE OVERTURES.
Spaniards May Put Off the Inevit.
able Until Havana Has Fallen.

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-The Naval
War Board consisting of Secretary
Long, Admiral Sicard, Captain Mahan
and Commander Crowninshield are in
conference with the President.
The Naval War Board conference
with the President lasted an hour. and
on leaving the White House Secretary
Long said that only matters of detail
were under discussion. No news of
Importance had been received from any
source. Secretary Day also had
conference with the President. He said
that nothing bearing on peace had been
received from Spain either directly or
indirectly.
From other sources it is learned that
the Government does not look for peace
overtures for some time to come and
probably not before the fall of Havana.
AS it is understood to be the policy of
the President to postpone the Havana
campaign until next autumn the belief
exists in high official circles that the
Spaniards will put off the inevitable
until their last stronghold in Cuba is
lost before making an effort looking to
a cessation of hostilitieS.

ARMY NOW READY.
Twenty-Five Thousand Men to Be
Sent to Porto Rico.

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-General
Brooke had another conference to-day
with Secretary Alger with reference to
preparations for the Porto Rico expedi-
ton. The General reported that his
army is now ready and it is believed
that they can be embarked within
fortnight
While a positive selection has not
been yet made, it is understood that
Newport News will be the port of de-
parture of the larger part Of the ex-
pedition. The army of occupation is
expected to consist of about 25,000
men, and it has been decided to take
no chances of repeating the mistake
made in Shafter's case of landing with
an insufficient force and then being
obliged to lie idle at cSflical moment
awaiting reinforcements The employ
ment of an overpowering force is also
expected to reduce bloodshed
