The part which the navy Is to take
in the assault against Porto Rica has
been fully matured. The several
transport fleets will have with them
one or two auxiliary craft, carrying
strong secondary batteries of six or
eight Founders
Secretary Long said this afternoon
that no time has been fixed for the de-
parture of Admiral Sampons fleet for
San Juan. AS to the naval plans he
would only say that they would
cooperate in every way with
the movements of the army. The re-
ports that three monitors are on their
way from Key West to San Juan was
characterized by the Secretary as un-
authorized. 1t is the general under
/ standing, however, that the navy will
rely mainly on armored ships Tor the
bombardment of San Juan, as the big
battleships and monitors afford the
best means of offensive warfare, while
their armor belts protect them from
such fire as the San Juan batteries can
bring to bear. The Notifications there
are much like those of Santiago, with
a MORO Castle at the entrance of the
harbor and a number of lesser fortifi-
cations leading up to the city. These,
| however, are viewed with less awe,
since an examination of the batteries
at Santiago has shown them to be an
| tiquated and capable of little effective
| resistance.
The movement Of the ships from San
tiago to their new fields of action will
begin at once. an l it is probable that
some of Admiral Simpsons ships were
detached to-day and proceeded with
General Miles with the expedition
toward Porto Rico. They will be need
ed to cover the debarkation of the
troops on Porto Rican soil. The others
will follow as soon as the full army ex-
pedition is ready to make landing.
