EE lad THE SIGNAL READY.
Che Story Told by Joseph II. Gaskin, Sig-
nal Boy Board the Bat
tIeshIp Iowa.

New York, July 1s.-Joseph I. Gas
kin. signal boy on the Iowa, says that
he was the first to discover the Span
ish heet making its way out of Santa
go harbor. Gaslkin resides in Newark,
n. j., and in letter to his sister, Mrs.
NJ. Ii. Smith, he gives detailed ac-
counts Of how he went on deck as usual
for the signal wa at a. m.
lie Had Noticed Suspicious Indications
the previous day, and resolved to keep
close lookout. An hour afterward he
reported that the smoke he had OBJ
served in the harbor the day previous
had moved near the entrance, and a
few minutes later again reported that
the smoke was moving still closer.
The Signal was Ready.
Then" says Gasbin, ''of my own
accord L bent on the signal $50, which
means The eneny's ships escaping
and laid it on the bridge ready to
hoist.
At $780, just as the navigator was
taking the deck. l reported large
black ship in the entrance. The navi-
gator, without looking, said: bend
on the emergency signal" With that
L ran it up to the yard arm, and
sounded the alarm, and in two minutes
the ship was ready for action.

WAsHINGTON, July 1S.-The Porto
mission to capture that island.
Gen. Miles, leading the Porto Rican
expedition, left Siboney, Cuba, on the
Yale with four batteries of artillery
and few seasoned troops. Two
brigades now at Charleston are en-
barking on transports to take them
to Porto Rico. All the force at
Tampa, $4,000 strong, embracing
artillery, will be put aboard
ship as rapidly as troops can
be gotten there and sent to reinforce
our other troops. Gen. Brooke will
take the first and second divisions OF
his corps from Chickamauga to Porto
Rico. Gen. Brooke leaves here at once
for Chickamauga to get his troops
started. 1t is expected that the whole
expedition will be under way within
the next four days. 1t has been decid
ed to retain Gen. Skaters corps at
Santiago for an indefinite period.
Some of the Troops That viii Go.
WAsHINGToN, July 1S.-It is the in
tention of the war department to use
several regiments of the Fourth army
corps, under Maj Gen. ]. j. Copplnger,
in addition to the volunteers of Gen.
Brool1e's First army corps, in the Porto
Rico invasion.
BY using the regulars in Gen. Cop
pinger's corps, which Is now at Tampa,
the administration may avoid the ne
cessity of withdrawing some of the
heavy artillery batteries from Santiago
for use in the Porto Rican invasion.
The heavy siege guns which were
carried to Santiago with SO much diff
ficu1ty will not be needed in Porto
Rico, for the most strongly fortified
town there, San Juan, is not SO
formidably defended as Santiago, and
it's situation is far different.
The administration is, moreover, able
to command the services of other artil-
lery organizations which are at present
in the United States. They are the
heavy batteries recently moved south
from Fort Constitution, n. H.; Fort
Trumbull, Conn; Fort McHenry, Nd,
and Willett's Point, n. Y.

tiago campaign successfully closed,
there is lull in the activity OF the war
and navy departments, and the officials
expressed the belief that the stirring
developments of the past few weeks
would now give way to the details of
occupying Santiago, the shipping of
Spanish prisoners to Spain, coping with
the yellow fever situation and prepara.
tion for
The Next Aggressive Campaign.
No reports from Gen. Shaftcr or Ad.
miral Sampson were received during
the early part of the day. a dispatch
was received late Sunday night stating
that the entire number of fever cases
up to that time did not exceed 300. This
lowered the estimate by one-half from
that given in press dispatches, and
Was a Source of Satisfaction
to the authorities. Col. Alden, acting
surgeon-general, says the situation is
much less serious than would appear
at first glance, for while the aggregate
of 800 seemed large, it is relatively
small when it is remembered that there
are p, 900 troops at the front. Surgeon
Arthur, at New York,
Has Been Given Carte Blanche
to get together at the earliest moment
a large number of contract doctors and
nurses familiar with fever cases. They
will go to Santiago on the Rcsolute,
which leaves the American line pier
Tuesday morning. Many anxious in
quiries from relatives and friends of
soldiers are coming to the war depart
ment, owing to the fever reports. This
has led to the consideration of the
practicability of getting the
Full List of Fever Patients,
mainly as n means of relieving the
anxiety of those VIII Ose friends are not
affected. 1t is thought such list will
be available in n day or so. In the
meantime inquiries have brought def
mite information of Brig. Gen. Dutfield,
whose condition has been open to much
doubt, was down with malarial fever.
1t is giving the surgeons no apprehen-
sion, as the attack is yielding readily
to treatment.
