Special to EVENING HERALD,
Washington, July 1s.-The first step in the
invasion of Porto Rico will be a blockade of
San Juan, and for that purpose Admiral
Sampson will leave Santiago the latter part
of this week. Troops will follow, under
command of Gen. Brooke. The final details
of this expedition have been completed. The
men now at Chickamagua will comprise the
expedition, and the principal point OF
embarkation will be Newport News.
Gen. Miles will go to Porto Rico at once,
and will have general command. All the
regulars now with Gen. Shafter at Santiago,
comprising twenty-seven regiments, will be
included in the Porto Rico invasion, and it is
probable the Rough Riders will go with
them. =
1t is estimated that within three weeks
the expedition will be landed on Porto Rico
soil and will be marching toward San Juan.
The Porto Rico invading force will be much
larger than that sent to Santiago,

Washington, July 1s.-Commodore Wat
sons Eastern squadron will sail at the end of
this week. This was the information given
out at the Navy department this morning.
Information has reached the government
that, with a view to protecting her own
coast and embarrassing this country in its
operations against Porto Rico, the Spanish
authorities are thinking of dividing what re-
mains of SPANS navy and sending a portion
of it to American waters.
This government has little to fear from
that source. 1t is not believed that Spain
would adopt such a course, and even if she
did it would not be effective. Camara's fleet
could not reach Porto Rico inside of three
weeks, and by that time the army of in
yasion would be landed at Porto Rico.
Should Spain send their remaining squadron
here it would only meet the fate of Cervera's
fleet.
The auxiliary cruiser Yankee, with ammu-
milton for the battleships Oregon and Massa-
chusetts, which will 20 with Watson's
squadron, will arrive at Santiago tomorrow
night, Commodore Watson has despatched
one of his ships to Hampton Roads to convoy
the GOLFERS to the rendezvous near the coast
of Spain which has been selected.
The Navy department does not say what
ships will accompany Watson, but it is likely
that most of the battleships under Sampson
will be included. Admiral Camara, accord
ing to the best information, should arrive al
Cartagena to-day, At the present tim
Spain has but two armored ships. The tria
of the Alfonso XIII shows her to be
topheavy.

ceremony. General Shafter and his
escort, accompanied by General Toral,
rode through the city, taking formal
possession. The city had been sacked
before they arrived by the Spaniards.
The ceremony of hosting the Stars
and Stripes was worth all the blood
and treasure it cost. A vast concourse
of 10000 people witnessed the stirring
and thrilling scene that will live for
ever in the minds of all the Americans
present. The palace, a picturesque old
dwelling in the Moorish style of archi-
lecture, faces the Plaza de La Reina,
the principal public square. Opposite
rises the imposing Catholic cathedral.
On one side is a quaint, brilliantly
painted building, with broad verandas

tion-is the Cafe De La Venus.

Recipe for Making Gold.

Chicago March 1.-E. G. Brice, presi-
dent and general manager Of the National
Metallurgical Company, made public to-
day his secret how TO make gold. MIR.
Brice has succeeded in making some peo-
pie believe that he can manufacture gold
out of baser metals. His company has
$4,000 of paid up stock and owns plant
on Lowe avenue with retorts, blast fur
naces and other necessary equipment for
gold making. 1t also owns an anthony
mine in Utah.
The company held a meeting last night
and voted to appropriate $40, 900 more for
Improvements at the antlmony mine, and
Mr.. Brice says that as the company has Sc
cured all the rights to his process by pat
ents applied for in all parts of the world, it
will no longer conduct its operations Sc
cretly, but that the gold factory will be
open to public inspection at all times. His
reason for secrecy was that he was not
fully protected.
This formula is now made public:
Take chemically pure anthony, 5
parts; sulphur, 10 parts; iron, part; caus-
tic soda, parts. Place these ingredients
in graphite crucible and expose to a
white heat, or 5000 degrees, from eight to
forty eight hours. Powder the resulting
mass and mix it well to incorporate the
metal with the Stag. Combine this with
charcoal, part; oxide of lead, 5 parts, land
caustic soda, parts. Fuse the whole I'M
til metallic button is obtained. Scorify
and cupel this metallic mass and the re-
sulting head will be gold and silver.
Mr.. Brice says that Robert w. Hunt,
head af the leading firm of metallurgical
chemists in Chicago, made test of this
formula for Secretary Gage, and reported
that he could get both gold and silver.
Mr.. Hunt realized only few dollars to
the ton, but Brice says the ore he manu-
features will assay 81, 500 to the ton in
pure gold and silver.
