GENERAL BROOKE GETS AWAY.

Sails From Newport News ON the St.
Louis For Porto Rico.
WASHINGTON, July 26.-Major Gen
eral Brooke, commanding the First
army corps, sailed today from Newport
News to join General Miles at Porto
Rico. The general embarked On the st.
Louis. and as he will proceed at once,
without waiting for the whole of his
command, he should arrive of Porto
Rico sometime Friday or Saturday. The
St. Louis will be accompanied on the
run down the coast by the St. Paul. Oh
which will be the headquarters of Gen.
eral Hains. The remainder, of the
troops in Chickamauga will he embarked
at Hampton Roads as rapidly as posi-
bic, and it is expected that the last of
them will be aboard ship by Wednesday.
The reported boarding Of German
steamer off San Juan, Porto Rico, by
launch from an American naval vessel
is taken at the war department to con-
firm its belief that General Miles has
arrived there, and as all of the details
of the expedition are moving with pre-
cision, there is every reason to believe
that the troops will be all ashore before
the end of the week, Colonel Hecker,
who is directly in charge Of the trans
portation arrangements here, retured to
Washington from Fortress Monroe, en-
tirely satisfied with the progress being
made by General Brooke's command.
