General Miles is not skpected to defer
his landing until that time, but presum-
ably will pick out suitable place for
encamping his troops and establish him
self ashore, awaiting the arrival OF the
other detachments now on their way.
1t was expected at the department
that General Brooke and General
Haines would sail yesterday from New

of General Brooke's command would
be embarked by tomorrow. The work
of embarkation at Hampton Roads Is

LONDON, July 25.-1he Madrid CORE,
spondent of The Times says:
Peace prospects have greatly inn
proved during the last 4S hours. Tha,
diplomatic exploration of Duke Almo-
dover de Rio, the foreign minister, has
been more practical than was supposed,
and it is now tolerably certain that the,
governments efforts are entering a new
phase which may gradually lead TO tan
gible results.
"The precise nature of the change in
q secret, but there is little doubt that it
tends to direct negotiation between
Spain and the United States, there
being no inclination to seek the media
tion of any neutral power.
"The French embassy at Washington
seems the most likely channel for OPEN
ing negotiations, and the semi official
statement that America intends to re-
tain Porto Rico is regarded here as
hint to Spain to hurry up.
There is still much talk about Car
list intrigues and preparations, but the
government, though vigilant and ready
to act energetically if necessary. seems
to think that at present there is no
serious danger of untoward develop
ments. The danger of republican.
movements is still less.''

General Shafter Reported on Their
Wrongdoing In Cuba.
WASHINGTON, July 25.-In his report
to the war department relative to con-
ditions at Santiago, General Shafter has
thrown some light upon the difficulties.

events following each other in rapid
succession at Santiago after the initia-
tion of the negotiations for the surren-
der OF the city, a few of the corre-
spondents were guilty of grave breeches,
OF military law, necessitating prompt,
corrective action by General Shafter.
Thus, for instance, one correspondents
in his efforts to take part in the flag
raising over city hall, resisted the mill
tary officers in the execution of their.
duty and even attempted a personal as
sault upon the commanding general.
This made him subject to summary and
severe punishment, even death, yet
General Shafter, probably realizing that
ignorance OF military law was the ex-
PLANTATION of the action, contented him
self with expelling that correspondents
