says:
New York, July 24.-Major General
Miles. commanding the Porto Rican
expedition, Is believed to have arrived
at the point OF debarkation decided
upon on the const OF Porto Rico.
Adjutnnt General Corbin. however.
said to-day that the administration did
not expect to hear from him for sew
eral days. owing to the distance that
he would have to send to reach cable
station.
Although General Miles has less
than 5000 effective fighting men with
him. the officials OF the War Depart
ment are confident that he will! be able
to accomplish all he expected TO do be-
fore the arrival OF reinforcements. He
will establish his landing basis under
the protection OF the guns OF the naval
convoy that accompany him.
The point of landing Is so far from
san Juan that IL will he Impossible
for the Spanish commander to concen
trate enough troops TO make much re
sistancc, and before troops could be
sent from San Juan General Miles will
be reinforced by troops which the War
Department is sending after him Us
rapidly as possible.
Special efforts are being made to
give General Miles all the tugs. light
ers and materials for wharves and
bridges that he requires. The steamer
Panama. loaded with tools, pile driv-
ers and other appliances. reached
Santiago to-day. and was TO leave to-
night to fail in with the tugs Off Cape
Maysi.
General Brooks, who Is said to be In
command at Porto Rico, has not yet
arrived at Newport News. and ii will
be Wednesday, at the earliest. before
General Halnes' brigade is all loaded
on the transports, ready to start.
His brigade will be followed soon as
possible by General Fred Grants
brigade. Three transports now on the
way from Santiago to Newport News
the Alamo. Concha and Leona-wili
be used to carry General Grants bri-
gade to Porto Rico.
General Shaftcr is also sending
enough transports from Santiago TO
Tampa TO carry G,0O0 men. 1t is not
probable, however. that more than half
this number will 90 to Porto Rico from
Tampa, as the regiments from there
are to go to Santiago. The troops that
will go TO Porto Rico from Tampa are
the remainder OF the regulars at that
point. including the artillery that did
not get on on the transports now on
their way. Colonel Hecker, In charge
of the transports, has been AT Newport
News to-day. perfecting arrangements
for loading troops and supplies.

Washington Authorities Dispieased at the
Breach of Good Feeling.

Denver. July o3.--A special from
Washington to the Rocky Mountain
News says:
fccting Garcia. the Cuban general, is
regarded by the President and his
Cabinet as unwise and undiplomatic,
and II was the declared purpose of
the President 10 thus inform General
Shafier
No public rebuke will be given the
general, rs such action, II is thought.
would magnify the affair and make
II more difficult of arrangement, but
the commander of the army of occu-
patton will not escape without the in
formation that his doings in the Gar
ella connection are not regarded with
favor.
General Leonard Wood. governor
OF the surrendered territory. was to-
night instructed to repair so far as
possible the harm and remove the i'll
feeling caused by General Shafter's
brusque methods. Besides being n
man Of the greatest personal courage,
General Wood is as smooth 'and wise
as diplomat. He was instructed to
leave no means untricd and no eff
fort unmade to conciliatc the out
ragged feelings of the Cuban general.
The President Is asserted to have
expressed himself very strongly In to-
days Cabinet meeting. There has
been no change of the sentiments of
the administration toward the Gu
bans: no alteration of the plans and
intentions of the United States rela-
tive to the liberation of the island
from the Spanish control and estab-
fishing a free government. He
wished this made plain to all inter
ested.
The foregoing comes directly from
one Of the Cabinet officers.
The paragraphs in Garcia's letter
relating to General Skaters failure
to inform him of the Santiago surren-
der and the following sentences at.
tracted special attention:
II wns neither honored, sir, with n
kind word from yon inviting myself.
nor any other officer OF my stan TO
represent the Cuban army on that
memorable occasion.
"Finally, / know that you have left
In power ut Santiago the same Span
ish authorities that for three years
have fought MS enemies of the indie
pendence OF Cuba"
The facts set forth let In n Hood Of
light. The failure OF Garcia to be
present at the Santiago flag raising.
and the comments on his absence had
been noticed by the President, who
had been led to believe that Garcia
had remained away from the scene on
the day of the surrender out OF per-
verse spirit.
1t was represented TO him that tie
Cubans' hatred for the Spanish was SO
bitter that he would not he present
on an occasion where he would be OBJ
liged to treat his enemies with at
least a show Of courtesy.
Although no information has been
received at the War Department
showing that Miles orders to Issue
food and ammunition to the Cubans
had been abroRated, orders were
wired today directing the continu-
ance Of supply issue. The action was
taken In view OF newspaper reports
that the supplies had been cut on on
General Skaters orders. The gen.
|eral sentiment Of the Cabinet was
that nothing should he done to
|estrange OF embitter the Cubans.

EMILE NEWMAN IN NEW YORK.

Several RumOrs With Regard to His
Departure, But None Confirmed.
According to reports received yesterday
Mr.. Emile Newman is now in New York
city, where he has been joined by Mrs.
Newman who knew nothing of his trou-
BILE until the receipt of the letters from
her husband on Sunday. 1t is understood
Mr. Newman was communicated with by
friends here.
There were several rumors of financial
difficulties, in which Mr.. Newman is said
to have been involved, current on the
street yesterday, and the day before, but
to the present time it has been impos-
sible to obtain any sdefinite information
as to the truth or falsity of them. So far
as his firm, Messrs. Garrard Medrm &
Newman is concerned, 1t is understood
that his partners have stated they would
be responsible for any financial losses in
which the name of the firm, through Mr..
Newman was involved, if there are any
such.
Mr.. Newmans resignation as president
and as a member of the Harmonic Club
has been considered by that institution,
but not acted upon. In his resignation
he stated. in effect, that for the fair name
of the club he felt it his duty to resign.
both as president and as a member. He
stated however, that he meant to do no
body any harm.

CRESCENT CITY JOCKEY CLUB.
Its Winter Meeting TO Open To-day
with Glowing Prospects


New Orleans, Nov 2S-The winter meet
ing of the Crescent City Jockey Club
which opens tomorrow afternoon, bids
fair to be one of the greatest race meets
held in the South in recent years. Seven
or eight hundred horses are stabbed at
the track, and their class is considerably
above that of the performers at previous
meetings. The owners are of greater
prominence than usual, and all of the
well-known jockeys of the Western cir
cults and many of those of the East are
here ready to take mounts.
The improvements to the track and
grounds during the off season have been
extensive, and include the construction of
apartments for jockeys where they may
be comfortably Isolated from undesirable
company.
Starter Chris ]. Fitzgerald has person.
ally supervised the erection of the start
ing machines, which are of the same pat
tern as those used so satisfactorily last
winter.
The club has framed very liberal list
of stakes to be run at intervals during the
meeting, beginning with the Thanksgiving
handicap, for 3-year-olds and upwards, at
six furlongs, to be decided tomorrow.

TERRITORIAL GOVERNMENT.
WILL BE FORM RECOMMENDED BY
HAWAIIAN COMMISSION.

Commissioners Meet in Washington
turn-RepOrt Not Yet Completed,

lures Have Been Decided Upon.
Property and an Educational
Qualification VIII Be Required OF
Voters.
Washington, Nov. 2S.-The commission
appointed by the President to recommend
a form of government for the Hawaiian
Islands as a part of the United States.
met in Senator Culloms committee room
at the capitol to-day for the first time
since leaving Honolulu. Senators Cullom
and Morgan and Representative Hit and
Judge Frear being present
The meeting was devoted to discussing
details of the bill, and the report which
the committee will present to Congress,
which had not been fully decided upon at
the last meeting. The legislation which
will be recommended by the commission
will be included in bill which, to all
intents and purposes, will be an enabling
act, and very much like the bills provid-
ing for the admission of new states into
the union, except in the one important
detail that it provides for the admission
of a territory and not a state.
The bill has been completed, but proba-
bly, will be amended somewhat in detail.
The report has not been completed, but
the commission has decided upon its inn
portant features. One of these is rec
concentration that the system of import
ing labor under contract shall be discon-
tinued.
The commission will recommend regu
lar territorial form of government, with
a Governor, a delegate in Congress and
a legislature. The legislature will be elect
ed by the qualified voters of the islands,
but there will be property and educational
qualifications imposed upon those who
vote for members of the upper house of
the legislature. The franchise will not be
extended to the japanese or Chinese in the
island, but the Portuguese who become cit
liens will not be excluded under the re-
strictions imposed
The commission will present full details
of the value of property acquired, income
from tariff taxes and other important facts
bearing upon the government of the ISL
ands.
They estimate that the property secured
to the United States will amount to more
than $10,0O0000. The public lands alone are
believed 20 be worth about SIS, 600 900.
The report will be presented to Congress
soon after it convenes.
