SKATER EXPLAINS
 THE ENLISTMENT

SANTIAGO, July 24.-General Shaf- ter gave me a cordial reception when I called upon him to-day He said the expulsion of correspondents was caused not because of any feeling toward the newspapers. represented, but owing to the conduct of the reporters personally
 "One correspondent was nuisance to every one during the entire cam paign and was guilty" he said, "of in- science to a member of my staff and in- solent to me personally and struck at me- This made him liable to be shot without trial I did not desire to take an extreme measure, though his action richly deserved it.
 'The other correspondents were found posting most inflammatory pIa- cards throughout the town. There are so many discordant clements that it is most desirable for public reasons that not the slightest iil-feeling should be created. These correspondents were ar rested and sent home on the first trans port. This is all have to say about the incident.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, July 24.-The Washing ton correspondent of the Herald tele- graphs as follows: General Shafter with the Fifth Corps will take the field against Havana in the fall. Until then the corps will rest in the United States. As soon as the Spanish prisoners are well out of the way General Shafter with the whole Fifth Corps will be or dered back to the United States, per- haps to Montauk Point, Long Island, or some such suitable place, where they will rest and recuperate, so as to be ready for the campaign in the fall against Havana"
 This statement was made to me by one of the trusted counselors of the President The further statement was made that not one of the regiments now in Santiago would be sent to Porto Rico; that it was thought by the | administration that in all of them there was some danger of fever infec- 1 ton. General Shafter will remain until l the Spanish prisoners are disposed of, according to the present plans of the l Government.
 Many northerly camp sites are being considered by the Government, Sea Girt, N. J., among them. It may be necessary to bring more Southern troops north, but they will not be brought unless 1t is necessary.
 The Fifth Corps of hardened veter- ans is to be put into shape for the Havana campaign. The Porto Rican army also will be by fall hardened to field and fire. and, with the Fifth Corps, which will then join it, about 50 1000 sea- soned men will move upon Havana.
 This now the plan of the adminis- tration. These 50, 900 men will form the nucleus about which 900 more vol unteers now in this country will be formed. By fall these volunteers, 1t is expected, will be in prime condition, both as to equipment, arms and uni- forms. If the Porto Rican campaign is to be a deliberate one, the campaign against Havana is to be a more delib- crate one.
 General Miles will be commander-in- chief of the Havana campaign and will start in with two trained major gen erals in Generals Shafter and Brooke. Lee will follow witt another division and Graham with the Camp Alger troops and 2000 men left in Chicka- mauga will help to make up a grand total of 150,000 men.

they be torn down, fearing they might have a bad effect upon the residents of the city and the Spanish prisoners, and as a measure of pub lie safety directed the expulsion cf the offenders.
 War Department officials say that in both cases General Shafter acted with dignity and discretion, but they believe that in the case of ScoveI he should have made his punishment more severe.
 KINGSTON, Jamaica, July 24.- Scovel is the only World man ex- pelled from Santiago de Cuba. It is decreed in his case that he shall not again enter the military lines or board the warships. The three Jour nal men expelled were McNichol Mesher and Musgrave. They landed in Santiago Monday night to open a business office with 10000 Journals and colored posters showing the wreck of the Maine with dead sailors floating past. The inscription at the top was Remember the Ma;neu and at the bottom Buy the Journal. ; As soon as shafter saw the posters he sent detail of soldiers to arrest the Journal men and seize their para phernalia. The correspondents were placed under guard over night in the Theatre Royal. The next day shafter himself saw them placed aboard the Arkansas with Scovel.

NEW YORK, July 24.-The Wash ington correspondent of the Herald telegraphs: Secretary Alger received to-day from Major General Shafter an official report regarding the ban ishment from Santiago de Cuba of Sylvester Scovel, representing the New York World, and the core spondents and artists of the New York Journal. The Secretary de- clined to make public the text of the dispatch, but learned the nature of it's contents. General Shafter report ed that Scovel attempted to partici- pate in the ceremony of hoisting the flag over the Governors palace in the city, but was ordered down by the guard. He then sought General Shafter. Words passed between the two and Scovel struck at General Shafter, his blow fortunately falling short. He was immediately placed under arrest. General Shafter stated he had not ordered the mans trial for the reason that he did not wish to give hir1 that much notoriety, and had simply ordered his expulsion from the district under his com- mand.
 The banishment of the correspond ents and artists of the New York Journal was due to their action in posting in conspicuous places throughout Santiago large poster bearing the words, Remember the Maine.o General Shafter ordered that

WHY W0TSON..S DEPARTURE HAS
 BEEN POSTPONED
Federation by Germany of Strict Neutrality and Desire to Place
 Ships in the Best Condition.

NEW YORK, July 24.-The Washing ton correspondent of the Herald sends the following: Two important develop mentS are responsible for the post ponernent by the President of the date of departure of the Eastern squadron the lreiteration by Germany of her strict neutrality and the desire of the naval war board to place the vessels under command of Commodore Watson in the best possible condition before sending them abroad. The authorities now declare that there is no reason for haste in sending the ships abroad, and that while the vessels are In fighting trim. 1t is advisable to put them in first class cruising condition and that the, President would determine the date when they will leave. It was .conf1- dantly announced to-day that the next ten days will reveal the ships which will be attached to Commodore Wat sons command. Much depends upon their condition, and the developments i1h Cuba, the Philippines and Europe.
 Z So far as the authorities can now see, the political situation in Europe is more favorable to the United States than it has been at any time since the commencement of the war. The collec- tion of such a large number of war Ships in the vicinity of Spain by the European powers is not considered a menace to the United States Undoubt- edly, the officials say. they have gone to that point for observation purposes and to protect their many interests afloat and ashore. They give it as their opinion that no power will interfere with the operations of Commodore Watson's squadron, and that the squadron will not cause a wanton de-
