SECOND QUOTA STILL SHORT.
Lacks Ten Thousand of the Number Re
auired to FIJI Regiments

Washington, July 20. - Fairly good
progress has been made with the re-
cruitment for the volunteer army under
the presidents second call for 10000
volunteers. The plan adopted by the
war department was to recruit all the
volunteer organizations in the army up
to their maximum enlisted strength be-
fore entering upon the recruitment of
additional troops. The total number
of men required to fill out existing
regiments was 81, ,566 and according to
the latest returns the total enl stments
under this plan are - SO men. In order
to show the progress of recruiting un-
der the second call a statement has
been prepared in the office of the ad-
jutant general of the army, based on
the latest returns. This shows the num-
Der required and number. enlisted in
part as follows: Illinois-Number re-
quired. 1850: enlisted. 1881. Indiana

Jersey, Rhode Island. West Virginia
ard Wisconsin have exceeded their
quotas. hut all the others are behind in
the supply Of troops. The worst de-
linquent is North Carolina. which has
furnished only fifty-five soldiers to meet
its quota of 1N3. Other delinquents are
Colorado. Lou 81 ma, Nebi a gka. Tennes-
see and Virginia. each of which has
supplied less than one-ihird # the num-
Der of men required. Alabama, Massa-
chusetts. Arkansas Georgia. Missis-
sippi, Oregon and Texas have done very
little better. and are all very much be-
hind in meeting the requirements. Com
plant has been made also that in say-
eral of the states an effort has been
made TO foist poor material on the gov
ernment and the adjutant general has
issued ar order directing a systematic
inquiry with a view to eliminating such
men from the organizations.
The total enlisted strength of the
regular army to date is about a 600
men, being about $4,000 short of its
legal complement. The volunteer army
consists Of lsS 0oo men. and is oniy l. 0oo
short Of its maximum authorized
strength under the two calls issued nv
the president. The total strength OF the
army, regular and volunteer, is 227 .OcO

pared late Monday to take command of
the military expedition against Porto
Rico that onic,r Gid not d. part Monday
from S.boury. The mistake was soon
corrected, however. and as result OF
some short Geographic correspondence

gathered at the department that the
Yale would start last night Contrary
to the first intention the Yale is to be
conveyed by n naval vessel that Ad-
miral Sampson has been instructed to
select from among the vessels OF his
fleet. This may result in delaying Cen
eral Miles progress somewhat. as none
of the vessels with Sampson is able to
Keep pace with the Yale Nevertheless
there is no doubt that the general will
reach Porto Rico before the detach-
ment of troops from Charleston.

What the Fleet will DO ut Porto Rico.
Admiral Sampson has received final
orders from the navy department as to
the part the American feet is to take
in the campaign against Porto Rico.
They are based on the view that the
campaign is essentially an army move
ment, the duties of the navy being to
lend every support and assistance to
the land operations. The admiral is in
structed To aid the army movements by
dispatching conveys when required and
by covering the landing of troops. AS
there is no Spanish fleet in San Juan
harbor or other Porto Rican ports the
navy has a limited field of operation.
The reduction of the harbor fortifica-
tions will BE the main work. but this
and all other operations of the fleet will
be supplementary to the main opera
tions conducted by the army. The
strategists. miltar- and naval. are
agreed in the view that the taking Of
Porto Rico is primarily a military un-
dertaking, and Admiral SIMPSONS or
ders are on these lines.
Auxiliarics on Blockade Duty.

ing the large fleet of auxiliary craft,
made UP of merchant ships, large

war broke out large number of these
auxiliary craft were purchased AS
there is no further need of coast
patrol they can ali he utilized as block

DONS INDIFFERENT TO REVERSE.
Rather Glad i'm Some Cases Assault
Would Have Been Terrible.

But this apparent depth Of feeling was
not displayed by the other regiments
Without being sul!en the Spaniards ap-
peared to be utterly Indifferent to the
jreverses suffered by the Spanish arms,
and some Of them, when not under the
eyes of their officers, seemed to rejoice
at the prospect of g cd food and an i'm
mediate return to Spain. General Toral
throughout the ceremony was sorely
detected. When General Shafter intro
duced him ny name to each member of
his staff the Spanish general appeared
to be a very broken man. He seems to
be about 80 years of age. and of frail
constitution. General Toral replied with
an air Of abstraction to the words ad-
dressed to him. and when he accom-
panied General Shafter, at the head of
the escort, into the city to take formal
possession OF Santiago he spoke but few
words.
Only once did the faint shadow of a
smile lurk about the corners of his
mouth. This was when the cavalcade
passed through barbed wire entangle-
ment. No body of infantry could ever
have got through this defence alive,
and General Skaters remark about its
resisting power found the first gratify-
ing echo inthe defeated generals heart.
Farther ai4ng the desperate character
of the Spanish resistance. as planned.
amazed our officers. Although primitive
it was weitdone. Each approach to the
city was thrice barricaded and wired,
and the barricades were high enough
and sufficiently strong to withstand
shrapnel. The slaughter among our
troops would have been frightful had 1t
ever beco1e necessary TO storm the
city. The .squalor in the streets was
frightful The bones Of dead horses and
other animals wsre bleaching in the
streets and buzZards as tame as spar
rows hopped aside to let us pass.

O'Clock. There General Toral introduced

can eener3as to the alca!de. Senior Forer.
and to thu chief Of police. Senor Gull

served at he palace. The meal con-
sisted ma4y of rum. wine. coffee. rice
and toast cake. This scant fare oc-
casioned my apologies upon the part
of the Spat ards, but it spoke eloquent
ly OF their tero'c Resistance. The Spsn-
iards hadfnothing to live on except
rice, on Ghich the soldiers in the
trenches of Santiago have subsisted for
the last twelve days. In addition. the
water supply of the city had teen cut
