The Porto Rican junta in the U. S.
is divided on the questions of annexa-
ton to the U. S. and of establishing n
republic, but the former element is the
stronger.
Gen. Shafter reports that the condi-
ton OF the troops at Santiago is rapidly
improving and that all are located in
comfortable camps where they can rest
and recuperate.
Gen. Wood, of the Rough Riders, has
been appointed military governor of
Santiago succeeding Gen. McKibbin,
who returns to his old duty and who

fast as is feasible the volunteer troops
for the Porto Rican expedition win be
furnished with Krag-Jorgensen rifles

II is altogether likely that the out

Gen. Duffields command as well as sub

Santiago. The war department has de-
cided to isolate the 33th and 34th Mich

ing the fever is past. They will be
placed upon the high attitudes sur
rounding Santiago, where it is said the
fever can be easily combated. None

Santiago, Charleston, Newport News
and Tampa and n Strong Naval Force
Goes to Attack the Spanish by Sea.

Gen. Miles was delayed two days in
getting away from Guantanamo har-
Dor, but his Porto Rico expedition was
in good shape when it did get away.
The cruisers Columbia and Yale car
ried four light batteries of the Third
and Fourth artillery; Lomic's battery
II, Fifth artillery; the Sixth Illinois,
Sixth Massachusetts,, 275 recruits for
Fifth corps, 60 men of signal corps and
Seventh hospital corps, 3,415 men all
told. The expedition was conveyed by
the Massachusetts, Cincinnati, New
Orleans, Dixie, Annapolis, Wasp, Ley
den and Gloucester. At the same time
the powerful monitors Terror, Amphi-
trite and Puritan were ordered to sail
from Key West to assist in the taking
of Porto Rico.
Before Gen. Miles had left Guantan-
amo the transports Grand Duchess, No.
30 and No. 81 sailed from Charleston,
$. c., with Gen. Wilson's brigade con-
sisting of the Second and Third Wis
consin and 10th Pennsylvania, besides
two companies of the Sixth Illinois,

The departure of Maj.-Gen. Brooke
anu lllS CHLlIt Sldn Ndlnp
for Newport News aroused intense en-
thusiasm in the camp as the boys saw
in their commanders going good pros
poets of early activities, and that is
what all of the boys are hoping for.
Gen. Brooke and his staff were dressed
in their new kharl1i uniforms and they
made most impressive display as they
entered the special train. The excite
ment at the park was great and every
soldier who could get away from his
camp was at the depot to see them off.
When the train pulled out of the little
station rousing cheer went up that
resounded throughout the entire camp
and was echoed from thousands of
threats.
BY the time Gen. Brooke reached
Newport News five troops OF cavalry
had arrived from Camp Alger, as fol-
lows: Troops A and C, New York, and
troops A, b and C, Pennsylvania.

CAPTURED ANOTHER PORT.
U. S. War Vessels Make short Work OF
the Spanish at Nipe.

Under orders from Rear Admiral
Sampson the Annapolis, Topeka, Wasp
and Leyden sailed into the harbor of
Nipe, on the northeast coast of the
province of Santiago de Cuba, and after
furious bombardment took possession
of the harbor. In the course of an
hour they silenced three forts, sank
the Spanish gunboat Jorge Juan and
scattered Spanish rifemen who had
taken part in the engagement.
Two smaller Spanish gunboats which
were in the fight with the Jorge Juan
fled before the Jorge Juan was sunk,
taking refuge in small creeks, where
they were afterward found abandoned
and were captured. After the shore
batteries were silenced and the Jorge
Juan was destroyed body of marines
was sent ashore, where the flag of
truce had been hoisted over the fort.
The surrender of the city was de-
manded and was promptly complied
with by the military governor. The
Spanish flag was hauled down from the
city hall. The American flag was
hoisted in its stead and the city was
Idheu pOSSeSSlOn u ny company Ol
marines from the ships. The engage
ment lasted scarcely an hour. Not
man was hurt or vessel injured on
the American side.
All the American ships sent small
boats over to the Spanish gunboat.
They found that the Jorge Juan's fore
castle had been entirely nipped away
by the Topeka's four-inch shells and
that her fore and mizzenmasts and
flagstaff were carried off. 1t is thought
the Spaniards scuttled her before
abandoning the vessel. The harbor
was found to be well mined, and two
of the mines exploded.
Nipe harbor is 90 miles long and 10
miles wide. 1t is surrounded by noun
tains and is admirably adapted as
base for any campaign. The Topeka
sailed for Key West after the fight and
on her way passed the monitors
Terror and Puritan and gunboat Mont
gomery, heading for Nipe where they
were TO rendezvous.
