The part which the. navy is to take In
the assault against Porto Rico has been
fully matured. The several transport
fleets will have with them one or two
auxiliary craft carrying strons secondary
batteries of six or eight six Founders.
Secretary Long said this afternoon that
no time had been fixed for the departure
OF Admiral Simpsons 5 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.
The report that three monitors were on
their way from Key West to San Juan
was characterized by the secretary..sa as
unauthorized. 1t is the general under
standing, however, that the navy will
rely mainly on armored ships for the
bombardment of San Juan, as the big
battleships and monitors afford the best
means of offensive warfare, while their
armor belts protect them from such fire
as the San Juan batteries can bring to
bear. The Notifications there are much
like those of Santiago. with Moro
castle at the entrance of the harbor and
a number of lesser Notifications leading
up to the city. These, however, are
viewed with less awe since an examina-
tion of the Morro batteries at Santiago
has shown them to be antiquated and
capable of little effective resistance
The movement of the ships from Sauti-
ago to their new fields of action win
begin at once and 1t Is probable that
some of Admiral SIMPSONS ships were
detached today and will proceed with
Gen. Miles's first expedition towards
Porto Rico. They will be needed to cover
the debarkation of the troops on the Porto
Rican coast The others will follow
as soon as the full army expedition is
ready to make landing ,swhen the attack
will begin simultaneously on land and
sea.
Secretary Long said today that no ap-
prehension whatever existed over the
Spanish threat that the Camara squadron
would be divided, part of the ships co M
ing to this side to attack A merican sea
ports. This is looked upon as a sheer bluff
and it will not have the effect of chang.
ing any of the navy plans or of with
drawing any ships from service on the
Atlantic coast. Should the Spanish
threat be made good, ships more than o
match for any of Camara's vessels would
be available at any Atlantic port on
short notice.

expedition, and other transports carrying
the remainder of the troops Of Gen.
Shafter's command, destined for Porto
Rioo, will proceed to the landing place
agreed upon under convoy of Admiral
Sampson's vessels. Upon their arrival
a landing will be effected under the guns
OF the warships. Large forces will be
hurried to Porto Rico from tine United
States. The troops at Charleston. which
have been ready to leave for several days,
are under orders to start late tonight or
tomorrow. Unless delays that are now
unexpected should occur, all Of the
troops at Charleston will have embarked
before sundown tomorrow. The regular
troops now at Tampa will be hurried to
Porto Rico as rapidly as ships can carry
them.
1t is the expectation OF the secretary
of war that within ten days 10000 Amer
lean troops will be on Porto Rican soil.

General Miles, who arrivedshere ION the
Yale this afternoon, says that Gen. Toral
will send officers to the different garri-
sons in the province notifying them of
the surrender. The Spaniards in Guam
tamao can be easily reached, and they
will be ordered to come down the bay and
surrender Those inland, however,
will be more difficult to communicate
with, and it will probably be some time
before all the Spanish troops are not flied.
New York, July 18.-Ths Journal pub

protest against the act of oapitulation
signed by Toral at Santiago, the Spanish
light house keepers at Cape Maysi and

as telegraph lines, cables, railways and

destruction or intentional defaoement
of such places, of historical monuments

This Ends tho Career Of tho spanish
Cruiser Marin Tcrcsa.
CHARLESTON, SC, Nov. s.-The ocean
tug Merritt put into Charleston for sup
plies. She reported the loss Of the
cruiser Maria Teresa, raised by Con-
structor Hobson recently, off San Saliva
dor, Bahamas, Nov. 1, in the midst of a
furious storm.
The cruiser left Calmanera, Cuba, on
the morning Of Oct. 80, in tow for New
York. She had already passed Cape
Maysi and started northeast around tho
Bahamas. A furious storm, warning of
which had already been sent out, over
took her, and in her condition she was
unable to weather the gale. The strain
opened rents in her hull which had been
patched to enable her to mako the jour-
ney, and she began to fill rapidly. The
Merritt took off Captain Harris and the
crew from the sinking ship and she soon
went down. The Merritt brought tho
captain and 1876 men, who will proceed
north by rail. No lives were lost.

AN ALLIANCE WITH TURKEY.
Kaiscr's Visit Said to Have Resulted In an

katser'S Visit Said To- Have Resulted In nn
Agreement With tho Sultan.
BERLIN, Nov. 1.-THE Frankfort lei
tung says it learns from we'll informed
source that Emperor Williams visit to
Turkey led to an agreement, by which
Germany undertakes to support the In
tegrity of the sultan's possessions, for
which Germany will receive CONNER
cial and industrial privileges. The pa
per adds that it is believed this agree
ment is tantamount to an armed alliance
between the two countries.
A number of rumors as to the real OBJ
jects of Emperor Williams visit to Con-
stantinople and the Holy land have been
in circulation ever since the intention Of
his majesty to visit the Orient was an
nounced about year ago. The alleged
purpose included important railroad
concessions to Germany, the ceding Of
territory in Syria to Germany for colon
izing purposes, the ceding Of the port Of
Hafia, in Palestine, tho ceding of the
island Of Rhodes to Germany, and the
granting to Germany of the right to
plant large German colony all along
the whole frontier of Tripoli. This last
agreement, it was added, was intended
to protect tho sultan against French en-
croachments across the Tripoli- -Tunis
frontier, and would also avoid granting
Germany concession in Asia Minor
which, it is added, would induce Russia
to demand compensation.

Uncle Sans Troops to Leave For Cuba
Earlier Than Had Been Intended.
WASHINGTON, Nov. G.-Advices from
the Cuban military commission are to
the effect that Spanish evacuation Of
Puerto Principe will take place earlier
than the 22d and that it will be desira-
BILE to send the troops, designated in the
order just issued, as early as the 18th.
The transport Chester, which will carry
a regiment, probably will sail from Sa-
vannah on the 9Th with the Fifteenth
infantry, which is to go to the town of
Puerto Principe. The Eighth cavalry
and the Third Georgia will follow soon
afterwards.

In Paris that Captain Baratier bears in

Ubanghi river, north of the Congo, evac-
Mating Fashoda and the five posts estab-

The Egyptian government will be ill.,
vited to send troops to accompany Ma
jor Marchand as he retires from the
Bahr ell Ghazal territory and to reoc-
cupy the posts as they are evacuated by
the French officers, thus solving the diff
ficulty concerning Major Marchand's

When Major Marchand's retirement

This negative action was expected.
The Spanish commissioners had also q

In this statement the Spaniards held
that the United States had no ultimate

According to the Spanish contention in
the formal statement the United States
entertained no thought of annexing the
Philippines when the protocol was

in the protocol as clearly as the condi-
