GEN. NILES INVASION.
The American Army Marching Upon the
Capital City Of Porto Rico from
-Four Directions

New York, Aug. lO.-A dispatch tt
the Herald from Ponce via st. Thomas
says: Gen. Miles invasion Of Porte
Rico Is progressing in highly salts
factory manner. Nothing has taken
place TO interfere with the plans finally
decided upon by Gen. Miles and the
American troops are gaining advanced
ground every day. This plan Of hav'
ing the army march upon San Juan
from four directions is regarded here
as one Of Gen. Miles shrewdest move
ments He has the Spaniards in COM
plete doubt and has assigned q large
enough force under each general To
insure successful resistance against
Spanish attacks. At the same time by
this plan Gen. Miles speedily will have
several thousand Spanish troops shut
up In the vicinity Of Aibonito unless
the enemy suddenly changes plans
and hastens to San Juan over the
military road.
NATIVES AND SPANISH sKIRMIsH.
Po ce, Porto Rico, Aug. 10-Gen.
Henry, with the Sixth Illinois and the
Sixth Massachusetts, will move by way
OF Adjuntas on Arecibo, which is about
20 miles north Of Adjuntas, as the
crow flies. A short stretch of the road
that troops will have to follow is in q
very bad condition. Practically all
our troops will then be in motion in
four columns, towards the capital of
this island, San Juan de Porto Rico.
Gen. Schwan is at Yauco Gen. Wilson
is near Coamo and Gen. Brooke Is at
Guayama.
Maj. Gen. Miles, with several troops
Of cavalry, expects to follow Gen.
Henry in day or two. II peace is
promptly declared Gen. Miles will be
the first to enter San Juan, going by
the railroad from Arecibo to the Porto
Rican capital. In view of the news
received here about the progress Of
the peace negotiations all the army
officers appear to believe that there
will be no more fighting.
DEPARTMENTS OCCUPIED BY AMERICANS.
Ponce, Porto Rico, via St. Thomas,
D. W. l., Aug. lO.-The advance of
Gen. Miles army continues. Five OF
the departments into which the island
is divided are now occupied by the
American army Of invaders. These
departments are Arecibo, with 1874, 1856
inhabitants; Mayaguez, with 1889;
Ponce, with no, l4O; Guayama, with
9s,Sl4, and Humacao, with 50, 25l. The
movement upon San Juan, the capital,
has begun and the beginning Of the
end Of this wonderful campaign Is at
hand. The American troops are head
ed for Arecibo, which is on the north
coast, to the east of San Juan. II Is
believed that within ten days the en-
tire island will be in possession of the
United States forces. There may be
one or two battles, but they will be Of
little Importance.
