MILES PROBABLY
AWAITS CONVOYS

WASHINGTON, July 1s.-It is re-
garded as certain BY the officers of the
War Department that General Miles
and the first contingent of the Porto
Rican expedition are now en- route from
Santiago to the point in Porto Rico
where a landing is TO be effected. Sec
rotary Alger said this evening that he
hoped and expected that General Miles,
with his forces from Cuba, would get
away tonight.
At o'clock tonight General Miles
was still in Cuban waters, but so far
as the war officials here are informed,
the vanguard of the Porto Rican ex-
petition was finally prepared to leave
The War Department exchanged sew
eral cable messages with General Miles
during the late afternoon and early
evening regarding the details of the ex-
petition, but in none Of his dispatches
did the general indicate the precise
hour OF his departure. The impression
conveyed is that he was awaiting the
naval vessels which are to act as con-
voys.
1t is stated definitely that General
Miles has no intention to await the ar
rival OF the several parts Of the expe-
dition from the United States before
moving upon Porto Rico II is, in fact
his purpose, with such troops as he now
has, 10 breaA ground on the island for
the forces that will arrive later from
this country. His landing will be eff
fected, If necessary, under the guns of
the vessels OF the navy. 1t is not an
ticipated that serious resistance will
be encountered, as the Spanish force
on the entire island is only slightly
larger than the force which accom-
panies General Miles.
Arrangements for the departure OF
tn troops from this country, which are
to comprise the greater part Of the ex-
petition. are being pressed with the ut
most vigor. Difficulty is being expert
enced in securing pro-er transports,
but that in measure has been over
come. Within day or two. 10. 900 men,
ii is expected, VIII be afloat for Porto
Rico, and the remainder of the expedi-
ton will be sent forward as rapidly as
/ possible.

NO REPAIR SHIP FOR
THE PACIFIC COAST
Belief That the War Will Be Over
Before the Vessel Could Start
for Manila

NEW YORK, July ia Washing
ton special TO the Herald says: Sec
rotary Long has determined not to ac-
cept the recommendations made by En-
gineer-in-C Melville for the pur-
chase OF a steamer on the Pacific Coast
TO be fitted up as an engineer repair
shop, like the Vulcan. This action is
due TO the Secretary's belief fi1at by
the time the ship is ready 10 start for
Manila the war will be ended. 1 I'M
derstand the Secretary feels that If
any of the ships should sustain dam
age 1t will be an easy matter to send
them TO Hongkong. where they can be
repaired, the neutrality laws of Great
Britain permitting ships requiring re-
pairs to enter a port for that purpose.

FROM THE CALL-HERALD SPEC
IAL CORRESPONDENT on board
the United States monitor Terror. off
Havana, July Il.
While cruising off the entrance to
Havana harbor at daybreak this morn
ing the Terror picked up a small boat
in which were three deserters from the
Spanish gunboat Aguila which is in
side the harbor. They rowed out to US
under the cover of darkness and dur
ing a heavy rain. They were Jose Fer
nandez. Antonio Gonzales and Antonio
Capellastegin. They brought with
them their arms and considerable am
munition and told Us many interest
ing things about the effect of the block
ade.
According to their story the price Of
rice in Havana now is 20 cents pound.
and there is only one shon where Ii Is
sold. The supply will be gone in week.
There are no potatoes in the city, and
other vegetables are very scarce and
very dear. Beans cannot be had at any
price. Meat is 80 cents pound. Bread
in small quantities is sold at a price be-
yond the reach of common people; a
loaf which is issued TO soldiers, weigh
ing less than a pound, can be bought
in some places for 80 cents. There are
no crackers in the city. Fowl are in the
reach of the wealthy at 81 each.
The three deserters told me that Car
denas, MatanZas and Cienfuegas are
starving and cannot hold out more than
a week.
These are the warships that are ac-
tually in Havana harbor: First-class
cruiser Alfonso XII, second-class cruis-
ers Marques de la Ensenada, Condo de
Venadito and the Infanta Isabel; tor
pedo boats Marques de Molins, Martin
