| ON TO PORTO RICO At ONCE.
Gen. Miles Sailed From Santiago
With the Vanguard.
10000 TROOPS TO FOLLOW.
Transports VIII Sail as Rapidly as They
Can be Loaded - Chichamauga to
Furnish IA Large Force-A short and
Vigorous Campaign Expected.

Washington: After three days con-
sultation between President Mckinley,
Secretary Alger and Mai. Gen. Brooke,
during which there was frequent COM
munication with Gen. Miles at Siboney,
the details of the Porto Rican eXpedi-
tion were perfected and the expedition
itself was gotten under way, Gen.
Miles with some artillery and troops
sailing from Santiago fer Porto Rico
on the auxiliary cruiser Yale, to be fol-
lowed quickly by an army of about
10000 men. The same day Gen. Miles
sailed from Santiago three regiments
of volunteers embarked at Charleston,
S. c., for Porto Rico and Others will
follow from various ports as rapidly as
transports can be provided and made
ready for the journey.
Mai. Zen. Brooke will be the senior
officer in Miles command and upon
him will fall the responsibility for the
execution of the details of his superior S
plans.
The part which the navy is TO take
in the assault against Porto Rico has
been fully matured. The several trans
port fleets will have with them one or
two auxiliary craft carrying strong
secondary batteries. Secretary Long
said that no time had been fixed for
the departure of Admiral Simpsons
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
movement of the ships from Santiago
to their new fields Of action will be-
gin at once. and it is probable that
some of Admiral SIMPSONS ships were
detached and proceeded with Gen.
Miles first expedition toward Porto
Rico. They will be needed 20 cover
the debarkation of the troops on Porto
Rican soil. The others will follow as
soon as the full army expedition is
ready to make landing. when the at
tack will begin simultaneously from
land and sea.
The purpose of Secretary Alger is to
make the Porto Rican campaign short
one. An overwhelming force will be
thrown upon the island, and it is eX.
pected that the Spanish will soon be-
come convinced that they have no reas-
enable chance to resist successfully.
The expedition is TO comprise 10000
men at the start, and it will be swelled
soon to 400 men, and if necessary to
10000 men, the equipment of the vol
unteer forces having now progressed so
well as to warrant the statement that
that number of men can be ready for
service in Porto Rico in short time.
The preparations are to be more com
plete and ample than have ever before
been made by any government in any
enterprise of a similar nature. Ships
and men, hospitals and supplies, doc
tors and nurses, ammunition and pro-
vender, artillery and fittings, all are
to receive such care as to make the en-
terprise swift and deadly one for
Spanish hopes in the remaining island
of the West Indies dominated by Spain.

GERMANS INTERPRETED
When Insurgents Attacked Isla Grande,
but Dewey Taught EN- Lesson.

When Insurgents Attacked Isla Grande,
but Dewey Taught EN- Lesson.
Manila, via Hong Kong: The insur-
gents reported that the German gun
boat Irene in Subig bay refused to per-
NIT them to attack the Spaniards on
Isla Grande. Rear Admiral Dewey
at once dispatched the U. S. cruisers
Raleigh and Concord to the scene. On
entering Subig bay, the Raleigh opened
fire on the forts, whereupon the Irene
slipped her cable, leaving her anchor
in the bay, and steamed out by the
other channel The result of the fire
of the American warship was that the
Spaniards, numbering over 500 men,
surrendered everything. On return
ing to Manila the Irene explained that
she had interfcred lin the cause of
humanity"
A Hong Kong correspondent says
that it is ''now known that Admiral
Dewey requested the correspondents at
Manila not to give the full history of
the Irene incident for fear of arousing
feeling in America which might lead
to complications with Germany" When
the full details transpire it will be seen
that the incident was more serious
than il first appeared to be.
Gen. Aguinaldo, the insurgent leader,
declares that both the Spaniards and
the Germans have made overtures to
him. u. S. Consul Wildman, at Hong
Kong says Dewey's dispatches show
shat ha nA,t,~,.n11,- ;,4
fere, their action causing much anxiety,
as they are assisting the Spaniards by
landing flour and other supplies, and
moreover, that the German officers
have been seen in the Spanish trenches.
Tho Germans have not been careful TO
observe the naval courtesies required
ty the situation. They have given
Admiral Dewey much annoyance by
going against his regulations and by
Insisting on sendin their boats around
the bay after dark. At the same time
the German admiral informed Admiral
Dewey that that he has no Intention
of giving offense to America and that
his movements are not to be construed
as any demonstration of ill-will. Adj
miral Dewey is said to have replied:
perhaps it would be better If mat
tiers were arranged little differently
On the rero.t that the German fleet
was landing large quantities of rice
and flour for the Spaniards, the Amer
lean admiral decided to be more strict
and has put boat at the end of the
ietty to overhaul all launches. The
blockade will hereafter be more rigid.
Although the attitude of the Germans
is irritating, Admiral Dewey j. manag'
ing them with great diplomacy, and he
does not expect any trouble with them

THE WAR SITUATION.

Col William Jennings Bryan's regi-
ment of Nebraska infantry has been
ordered to join Gen. Fitzhugh Lees
corps at Jacksonville.
BY the recent waterspout which
swept down upon Steelville, Mo-, 35
buildings were wrecked and 13 lives
lost, while the pecuniary loss will foot
up 100000.
Spanish deserters from Guantanamo
say their soldiers there are absolutely
starving and would surrender but for
the fear of being murdered by the
Americans, as their officers tell them
they would be.
Many of the wounded soldiers who
have been brought back from Santiago
say the Spaniards used poisoned and
explosive bullets, and deliberately fred
upon the hospital tents and the Red
Cross workers, killing the wounded
and nurses.
The navy department is anxious that
Commodore Watsons squadron should
reach the Mediterranean as soon as pos
sible even if peace is declared, as he
could then hasten to reinforce Dewey
and give us squadron there capable
of meeting any emergency.
So complete has become the con-
fidence in the exemption of our ports
from attack by hostile vessels that the
government in response to pressure of
communicated interests, has ordered
all mines planted in our harbors to be
removed. They will be exploded as
the easiest method of removing them
Madrid newspapers announce that
they have withdrawn their correspond.
ents from Havana because Gen.
Blanco's censor permitted them to
send only such dispatches as he
thought would reflect credit on the
Spanish cause on the Island. The
papers do not want to share the
responsibility of proclaiming Spanish
victories and other false and absurd
news, which will later be demon
strated TO the people as absolutely
untrue, as Madrid papers have beer
compelled to do in the last few
months. They say they will publish
no news rather than false news.

necessitated by reason OF pirates counterfeit

Yellow Fever Among American Troops.
The dreaded yellow fever has found
foothold among the United States
forces before Santiago, and while the
authorities at Washington and at the
front are naturally alarmed they are
taking every precaution to stamp it
out and prevent its spread and express
confidence in their ability to obviate u
serious epidemic. The II cases which
were first discovered in the field hos
pital at Siboney were Immediately
isolated in a hospital which had been
established by DR.. John Guiteras, the
famous yellow fever expert for just
such an emergency. This hospital is in
charge of immune surgeons and nurses.
The first II cases were all from the
quartermaster's OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
and others-but later cases have APP
peared among the troops nearest the
coast. All cases are mild, however.
AS a further precaution the little
town of Juraguacito (Siboney), where
the field hospital is located, was burned
under the orders of the army health
authorities. Almost every building of
the so along the irregular bluff was
set fire to during the day and the Gu
ban inhabitants fled to the caves in the
overhanging hillside for shelter. The
action was taken at the urgent request
of the hospital corps, and served to
rid the hospital camp of the unhealthy
and dirty buildings and drive away
scores of Cuban followers whose pres
ence was a serious inconvenience to
the hospital workers.
There are several kinds of feyers in
Cuba, all of which are classed gcner-
ally as malaria unless the decided
symptoms of yellow jack show them
selves. Army medical officers say that
in the Cuban climate yellow fever is not
necessarily a deadly plague. Indeed
they claim that typhoid and malarial
fevers are worse; that with proper
tents, nurses and medicines, soldiers
will go through the fever with little
if any loss.
Everything needed TO bring that
army through all right will be sent"
said Secretary Alger. Large, comfort
hDAN lNhtS' pANhAg Va NOA'' aA4 PIC CNlAei
clothing. nurses, medicine and doctors
will be taken down by special ship.
Camps will be pitched for different
commands upon the highest, ARREST
land to be reached. Patients will be
segregated. And as fast as a command
has been there a certain number of days
without developing a case it will be
taken off the island and transferred TO
n more salubrious climate in the United
States, where the soldiers can soon
recuperate from their terrible eXer-
tionS"
So far, cases among the troops have
been very mild and they say that
yellow fever often runs that way in
Cuba. In fact the natives have very
little fear of it. BY the system pro-
posed by Secretary Alger, with perhaps
a further detention station at Dry
Tortugas, it is expected that the
volunteers will be withdrawn from
Santiago without much if any loss and
their places taken by the immune
regiments.

Hot blaze at East Lake.

Flames were discovered issuing from
the residence of Mrs. Pentland, at East
Lake, and in very short time the en-
tire building was consumed. The East
Lake fire company was soon on hand,
but not before the adjoining residence
of VIM. Eddy was in flames. The Con-
gregational church and the dwelling
of Frank Wilson, being in line with
the strong wind, were all consumed by
the flames. How the fire originated is
unknown, as Mrs. Pentland was away
from home at the time, and there had
been no fire in the stove for several
hours. The loss exceeds $1,000, insur-
ance $4,000.

fever at Santiago, but no official infor-
nation was obtainable.
The transport City of Washington
which has arrived at Fort Monroe, Va,
with wounded from Santiago, brings
confirmation of the news of the ap-
pearance of yellow fever at Siboney
and officers on board report that Maj
Merrill Il. Webb, of the SD Michigan
volunteers, was among the first cases
Burr Mcintosh, well-known actor and
correspondent, was an early case. Two
cases developed on the City of Wash

Crane, famous novelist and correspond
ent, being one.
Later dispatches say Gen. Duf1ield is
suffering from malarial fever and is
recovering. He is still commanding at
Siboney in the place of the Gen.
Young, who is sick and on his way
home.
The cases of Maj. Webb and the other
Michigan men who have yellow fever
developed about July 4. Others have
been discovered since. The Michigan
boys were the only troops left to guard
the base of supplies at Siboncy during
the fighting at Santiago and it was
while on this duty they became in

Dewey Fired on the Germans.

A Hong Kong correspondent says:
L. 5. Consul Wildman informs me that
as the German cruiser Irene was passing
Mariveles. off Manila, the other day
the United States gunboat Hugh
McCulloch was sent after her to ask
her to stop. AS the Irene refused to
obey a shell was sent across her bow
and a small boat went to discover
what she was doing. The German
admiral protested and insisted that
German ships had right to enter the
harbor without being searched, a
claim which Admiral Dewey declined to
recognize. 1t is reported that Admiral
Won Diedrichs, who is in command of
the German squadron at Manila,
interviewed Capt. Chichester of the
British cruiser Immortalite as to what
he would do if the Germans interfered
with the bombardment of Manila.
Capt. Chichester replied that only Adj
miral Dewey and himself knew that.
