Porto Rico Expedition May Be De-
1ayed in Consequence.

Washington, June 1S-It begins to
look as though the war department
might have some difficulty in obtaining
the necessary troops for the Porto Rico
expedition unless some of those which
have been sent to Santiago, are utiIiz-
ed for that purpose. An earnest appeal
was made to the coastwise companies
to favor the war department with pro-
positions as to the charter of such YES
sells belonging to them as had not al
ready been secured by the government
The replies to the governments tele-
isfactory as the steamship companies
feel that they already have gone as far
as practicable in rendering their
ships and that to release those still in
service would subject them to great loss
and bring their business almost to
StandStill.
1t is acknowledged by the war de-
partment officials that the vessel own
ers up to this time have been very con-
siderate and have chartered the gov
eminent number of their best vessels
and regret is expressed that all that are
needed cannot be secured. In this di-
1emma, the department has been COM
PEELED to seek ships of foreign register
for the troop service and a number of
English bottoms are now under inSpec-
ton. Congress will be asked to
give an Americal register to
vessels so secured. They will be ma
terialIy benefited thereby after the
war they may engage in the coastwise
trade in competition with American
built vessels.

Captain Conte and his companion left
Gomez in Las Villas. The general then
had with him a bodyguard of only GO
men-a cavalry escort. There was lit
tie food in the region where Gomez was
making his headquarters so he did not
mass any large number of men there,
but had them spread over a large ex-
tent of territory and directed their
movements from his HEADQUARTERS.
He has all the necessary arrange
mentS made for the concentration of
but keeps them scattered and employed
in guerilla warfare in the meantime
so that they may find food.
The captain claims that Gomez can
concentrate 10000 armed men in
short time at any point where it is de-
SirabIe. There are several thousand
more men who are attached to Comes
army, and are only waiting for arms
to be available for defensive or often
sive operations.
In a sE1irmish with guerillas about
three weeks ago Gomez was wounded
in the left arm by a Mauser bullet. The
wound healed quickly, however, in spite
of the generals advanced age, and
when the captain left headquarters the
old chief was able to use his arm as
well as before he was hit.
After leaving Gomez the ENJOYS made
their way to the seacOast, living upon
sweet potatoes and fruit which they
found along the way. For two days
they were without food at all, Finally
they reached the seacoast between
Matanzas and Cardenas and were ia
ken by a fishing boat to a small bay
until a vessel of the blockading fleet
was reported, when they put off in a
row boat and were picked up six miles
off the coast.
The vessel which picked them up was
the tug OsceOla, Captain Purcell. The
OsceOla is one of the auxiliary fleet.
They were nearly naked and nearly
famished when they were taken on
board the Osceola, but the officers of
the vessel supplied them with food and
clothing and carried them into Key
West. From there they came on at
once to this city with their dispatches.
Gomez is now especially DESTROYS Of
receiving arms and food. 1t is under
stood that a definite plan for the CO.
operation of the troops under Gomez
the time for such cooperation arrives,
has been arranged between the general
and the war department at Washing
ton. Meantime Gomez will keep his
forces scattered.
Captain Conte says that from infor-
nation received from GOmez's spies it
is known that in all the garrison towns
held by the Spaniards sickness is MAX
ing great ravages among the troops
The hospitals in Havana are so over
crowded with sick that proper medical
attention cannot be given them, and

The coal supply of Havana, is nearly
exhausted and what there is left has
been taken in charge by Blanco. who
has his officers supervise consumption.

might be husbanded. After the hour at
which the electric light works shut
down Havana is now in darkness.

Is Anxious to Accompany the
Third Expedition.
TROOPS ARE SELECTED
Will Be Ready to Start Some
Time Next Week.
Fourth Expedition to Leave on
or Before July l.

San Francisco, June 18.-Major Cen
eral Merritt, U. S. A, has issued an or
der to Gen. Otis designating the troops
that are to compose the third Philippine
expedition which will be commanded by
Brigadier General King.
The order names the troops as fol-
lows: 1.-The two battalions of the Ida
he volunteers, the Thirteenth Minnesota
regiment of volunteer infantry, two
battalions of North Dakota volunteers,
the Seventh California regiment of
volunteers, the Wyoming battalion of
volunteers, the two batteries G and L.
of the Third United States artillery
commanded by Captain Benjamin B.
Randolph and Captain VIM. E. Birk-
sinner, respectively"
These troops will be transported by
the steamers Morgan City. City of
Para, Ohio, Indiana and Valencia, all
of which are being put in readiness for
the reception of men as rapidly as pos
sible, under the direction of Major
Long, the depot quartermaster, who is
rushing the coal and supplies on board
IN the expectation of having this work
completed by next Wednesday. The
exact date of sailing has not yet been
fixed, but it will probably be not later
than the end of next week.
The cOmmiSsary officers of the vari-
Gus commands have been instructed to
report TO Col Baldwin, chief commits
sary, what supplies are necessary to be
taken on board the transports.
Gen. Merritt and staff may sail with
this expedition. He has had the mat
ter under consideration for some little
time, and as he is very anxious to de-
part, he is making every effort to ar
range his affairs so that he can go.
Major r. E. Thompson, chief signal
officer of the expeditionary forces will
sail with Gen. Merritt, and is now pre-
pairing to take his departure at an
hours notice The signal corps is yet
lacking in it's required quota of expert
telegraph operators who will perform
an important part in the conquest and
government of the Philippines. Fifteen
men are coming from st. Paul, to be
followed by others from other eastern
cities. Major Thompson will leave an
officer in San Francisco to enlist men
for the corps and forward them togeth-
er with necessary supplies to Manila.
Major General Otis will arrange the
details of the fourth expedition and will
probably remain here until all the
troops are embarked. 1t is hoped to
accomplish this on or before July 1.

Weekly Review.

New York. June 1S.-The dull and slug
gish condition into which the stock mar
ket has sunk is the natural consequence
of profit taking on a large scale after
prolonged advance Large financial in
terestS that have sold out are not lncl1n-
ed to buy in again at once, on rising
market. The withdrawal of their buying
support is a passive factor for reaction,
and there is likely to be active man1pu-
la ton in their behalf to lower prices.
What such manipulation failed to do last
week. the collapse in the Letter wheat deal
on Monday has done this week. The
pressure of liquidation forced on the
stock market by the contraction in wheat
values effected a sharp decline in values
and emphasized the apprehension OF the
speculative mind over some other possibly
unfavorab1e factors. But the bears be-
came OVerconfident in the face of the ad-
justment of the Letter difficulties and had

plies OF stocks offering for sale: This
brought the market to a state OF stabiI-
ity. except for manipulation by room trad
velcpments in the situation. There has
been some hardening, in money rates due
TO preparation for the government loan,
but its success is evidently assured with

The approach of the critical period for the
crops is taken more account of and serves
to discourage speculation until the out

mills ard furnaces are turning out a
heavy output and the banking of fur
naces is looked for to give tone to quo
tations of the raw product. Cotton
goods, if anything, are slightly i'm
proved, but raw wool is still under re-
stricted demand, because manufac-
turers find new business slow.
The price situation for the week re-
fleets steadiness, the only important
decreases being in southern pig iron,
wheat and flour, while hides are higher
at the west, a number of metals have
been advanced, and oats, corn, lard and
cotton note fractional advances.
The west and northwest continues the
scene of relatively most activity, alike
disc. The excellent crop prospects in
the northwest are reflected in a salts
factory trade in SeaSOnable goods and
relatively larger volume of orders for
fall trade, with the aggregate sales at
most cities heavily in excess of the
corresponding week in recent years.
Wheat exports, for the week, aggre-
gate 4,3S0,7S7 bushels, against 4,73O,9S2

this week a year ago, 3,O20,317 bushels
in 1895, 2, 1897 ,307 bushels in 1895 and l.
927, 900 bushels in 1894.
Corn exports are also slightly smaller
than last week, amounting to 4.1O6,O
bushels, as compared with 4,774,303 in
the preceding week, 1,S--,313 bushels
in this week a year ago, 1,5lOOOO bush-
els in 1896 and 858,OOO bushels in 1898.
Business mortality is at low point,
the failures for the week numbering
only 2O7, fourteen smaller than week
ago, 10 fewer than in the corresponding
week of 1897, So smaller than in this
week in 1896, "a smaller than in 1895,
and only II larger than in this week of
1894 when restriction of credits and
dull business was most marked.
Failures in the Dominion of Canada
number 10, a decrease of from last
week Is from the total in this week a
year ago, of 16 from 1896 and of II

LACK OF SHIPS
Causes Delay in Sending Supplies
of Meat to Cuba

Washington, June 1S.-The lack of avail
ships to carry the supplies is just now de-
laying the award of the contracts by the
commissary department of the army for
furnishing refrigerated meats for the army
in Cuba as well as for the starving ma
tiveS. The commisSary general prefers
not to close the contracts until ships for
carrying the supplies are in such condition
a to be ready promptly for transportation
purposes Some difficulty is being en-
ing vessels and it may be that resort to
impreSSment will be necessary.
The proposals received by General Egan
from the various meat dressing establish
ments of the country contemplated that
the government should furnish the YES
sells. After they have been obtained
frigerating. apparatus viii have to be in
stalled to keep the meats fresh and pala-
table during and after its shipment to
Cuba and until it is furnished to the
troops.
General Egan says refrigerated meat
only can be satisfactorily used for feeding
the troops. az experience has shown that
cattle killed the day before and left over
night are not edible.
