OVercrOwding to be Avoided When
Next Expedition Goes.
Washington, June 21.-Notable among
the indications which show which way the
war wind is blowing is the announcement
that the volunteers encamped at Mobile,
on the Alabama gulf coast, have been or
dered to Miami on the Atlantic coast of
Florida.
There are six of these regiments the
First and Second Texas, First and Second
Alabama and First and Second Louisiana,
all infantry, and all, from the fact of their
coming from the lower part of the South
ern states regarded as peculiarly adapted
for service in the West Indies in the hot
season.
Miami is the southeastermost town in
Florida, being situated at the terminus of
the east coast, way down in the neighbour
hood of the everglades. The sending of the
Mobile troops there is in execution of the
plan determined upon as a result of the
oVercrowding at Tampa.
1t was decided to use several points for
the embarkation of the succeeding expedi-
lions. Miami was inspected with view
to it's being made a camp site by the spe-
cial army board sent South by Secretary
Alger two weeks ago, ana II was one Oh
the places suggested as being suitable for
the concentration of small
number of troops along with Fernandina,
Savannah, Charleston and Jacksonville.
1t is understood that the facilities are in
adequate to a large number of troops and
that the impression is that few in addition
to those already sent, will be dispatched
there.
1t is still contemplated to make Fernan-
If olar
expeditionary force now being organized
for the invasion of Porto Rico, when the
capture of Santiago de Cuba has been ac-
complished. The harbor at Fernandina is
the best along the Florida coast for the
accommodation of the big transports, and
it is there that the majority of them will
be modified, although attachments of the
Porto Rico expedition, undoubtedly, viii be
embarked at Miami, Savannah, Charles
ton, Jacksonville and, perhaps others of
the coast points advocated by the army
board,

OPINION regarding the probable duration
OF the military campaign before the fall

American troops to unnecessary risks. de-

an enure week were consumed in landing

that great number of horses and mules

Moral Eject of Dynamite Guns.

From the 81. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Washington, June 1.-THE talk Of the
naval officers to-day Is of the performance
Of the Vesuyus with her dynamite guns.
'No man escaped with his life who was
within 200 yards OF where one Of those
charges fell" said Admiral Jouett. "And
men far beyond the range OF immediate in
jury were left mentally helpless and use
less by the shock"
The moral effect Of those terrific dis
charges has been very great, the naval
officers say The shock is such as - GER

reaching influence. When Brazil had an
instruction on hand a few years ago an
admiral came TO this country and saw the
operation of the experimental dynamite
guns. He took back an outfit. The naval
leader of the Instruction heard Of the
governments intention TO shoot dynamite.

MIR. Richardson supported il on the
ground that every person believing he has
a claim against the government should be
given the privilege of having it's validity

to the foregoing, supported the bill Incl
dentally on the ground that the people in
the counties named should be recon-
pensed quickly for losses incident to Con-
federate invasbOns.
The opponents of the bill candidly de-
clare their opposition on the ground that a
bill suggesting proposition so monstrous
as TINS deserves no consideration.
There is no legal claim; there Is no
equitable claim; there is no just claim, i"
declared Mr.. Cannon, and proceeding in
line with Mr.. Moody, he declared the recog-

London, June 22.-The Hong Kong cor
respondent of the Daily Telegraph says
"In accordance with instructions from his
government, the collector of Chinese Gus
toms here last night ordered the United
States troopship Zafiro, just arrived from
Manila, to leave Chinese waters imme-
dlately. He refused to allow the vessel to
take mails or cargo of any kind.
ut is thought that this action was in
violation of international law, as the Ia
fro was entitled to stay twenty-four hours
IN order to ship the necessary stores. To
avoid unpleasantness. the captain of the
Zafro moved to British waters, and will
return to Manila tonight (Tuesday) in
stead of tomorrow.

have naval base in the East, and If they
cannot get one by peaceful methods they
must take one by force"
