NO REPORT ON THE
 ALLEGED IREACRERY

WASHINGTON, July 23.-Doubt is cast upon reports of recent exciting events among the Cubans at or near Santiago, owing to the failure of Gen. eral Shafter to make any report upon them, and inasmuch as he has made less important subjects matter of dis patches, 1t Is hard to understand why he should fail to mention an event of such importance as the reported attack by Garcia upon Spanish troops on their way to surrender to Shafter. T Ire was no health report received t om Shafter to-day; but, so far from belng discouraging, this is believed to indi- cate the continuance of the improved condition reported yesterday and the day before as to the health of the camp.
 The War Department Is now, while keeping a close watch upon General Miles expedition. looking with interest for detailed reports from General Shaf- ter telling of the engagement preceding the leading up to the surrender of San tiago. It was reported to-day that Col onel J. !. Astor of Shafter's staff was due in Washington, bringing with him the full capitulations signed by the commissioners, and 1t was expected that Shafter's preceding reports would accompany them. However, up to the close of official hours, which to-day, to the relief of the hard-worked clerks was o'clock, for the first time in many

SKATER, Major General.

General Garcia has withdrawn his troops from the vicinity of the city. Moderate Cubans dread the accession to power of the Cubans as much as the spaniards do. McKinley's procla- nation announcing that property rights would be respected and law en- forced has produced a feeling of re- lief among the Spaniards. who feared a coniiseation of their property. A great many Spaniards will remain in Santiago instead of returning to Spain. The Judges of the Spanish Court of Justice held conference upon the question of recognizing the sovere,pntv Of the United States or resigning. and desired to consult the Madrid Govern ment in the matter. General Shafter informed them that the Madrid Gov ernment was powerless in Santiago af- fairs, and the Justices will conse quently resign.

MILES EXPEDITION

WASHINGTON, July 23.-General Miles expedition, in all probability, is now in the Mona passage between Hayti and Porto Rico and will be In sight of the landing point in the morn ing. While this is the expectation of Secretary Alger, for prudential rea- sons, the War Department declines to make any comment as to the accur- acy of the various guesses that have been made in the effort to ascertain just what point has been selected for the landing place. There is likely to be n lapse of a day or two between the arrival of the expedition and the notifi- unless some merchant vessel crossing to St. Thomas should sight the Ane11- can fotilla. liter that, however, the department will be In the closest com munication with General Miles, for it will possess Itself of a cable connect ing General Miles headquarters d. rectly with the department. Some parts of the Porto Rico expedition have been delayed for few days beyond the dates fixed for their departure, but in view of the difficulties of handling large bodies of men and the supplies for them, this IS not surprising.

 General Leonard Wood of the Rough Riders has been appointed Military Governor of Santiago. With the eXcep ton of a few encounters in the suburbs the city Is quiet.

LESS SERIOUS THAN
 MIGHT BE EXPECTED

WASHINGTON, July 23.-The War Department authorities say the yellow fever situation among the troops, as shown by to-night's dispatch. is less serious than they had expected. With 27, 900 men before Santiago the officials say that with the conditions considered the proportion of victims and of the sick is less than might have been ex- pected. Adjutant General Corbln said tonight that the men were largely af- fected by exhaustion and over expos ure.

 It is stated positively at the War department that the letter which Gen eral Garcia Is represented to haze a.- dressed to General Shafter, announcing ms withdrawal from further co-opera- tion with the American troops, has not yet reached the War Department The officials are inclined to believe that if the letter really exists-and of that they have little doubt-it will reach Washington only through the mails from Santiago

Will Not Slaughter Men in Porto Rico
 Campaign.
Gen. Miles Does Not Intend to Use Infantry Until FOrti-
 fiCationS Are Reduced.

NEW YORK, July 23.-The Washington correspondent of the Herald telegraphs: The quantity of artillery taken to Porto Rico by General Miles and the character of the materials called for by him strongly sug- gest the kind of campaign that will be carried on in Porto Rico.
 It is to be an artillery fight, and the plan was to-day outlined to me by an official high in au- thority on this basis. That off, cial, who stands near to the Sec retary of War, pointed out on a birdseye view map of San Juan and vicinity, just prepared for the use of the War Department, that artillery would be put on the many hills commanding the city, Notifications and harbor. This will be done at leisure, and efec- lively.
 Meanwhile the fleet of Admiral Sampson will take it's position off shore. The official added that it would not be infantry charging Up the heights before an entrenched city, but the she'll ing of a city that would be be- low every point occupied by our troops. The city of San Juan is situated on an island, and separ- ated from the mainland by a very narrow arm of the sea, over which there are three bridges, re- spectively for railroad trains, trolley cars and wagons.
 It is expected that these three bridges will be destroyed by the Spaniards. Alter the reduction of the city, however, by the shore batteries and fleet pile-drivers and piles and mechanics will be brought into use for replacing the bridges, and for the first time the infantry will then take part. It IS not thought the infantry will have any heavy work to do, as it will be comparatively an easy task to march into the city, which will probably have already sur rendered, and occupy it.
 It is probable that official cable dispatches from General Miles will be infrequent and much de- layed. Not only have the cables touching at Porto Rico been cut, but the St. Thomas cables, which are nearest, are subsidized by Spain and will not carry United States Government messages. The nearest points from which cablegrams can be sent are Mar unique and Porto Plata, San Do mingO.

 CAPE HAYTIEN, Hayti, July 23- Four large American warships were sighted off the harbor at 6 o'clock last evening. They were going in the direc- tlcn of Porto Rico. The German bark Carl, Captain Vols, arrived here to- day. Her commander reports that he saw eight American warships last night at o'clock off the coast of Hayti.

PAINTED IN THE WRONG PLACE.
Angels Could Never Fly with the Wings
Where Artists Place Them.

Did you ever notice n flying angelo
| 10 not meal the animated article,
but the winged and robed creatures
you see occasionally in frcscos and
friezes.
If so, you have doubtless marked the
horizontal and ~unearthly position of the
body.
The hands are gracefully disposed
along the sides, just as if flying were no
particular effort, and the feet are
trailed straight behind, though no man
has ever found out just what holds them
there.
1t has been SO since the time of
Michael Angelo and Raphael, says the
n. Y. World. Those old masters were
probably among the first offenders
against physical possibilities. They
frescoed the wall and ceilings Of ancient
cathedrals with ethereal beings with
enormous wings ~sprouting from their
shoulder blades and their feet trailing
straight out behind.
Since then every artistic rom, Dick,
and Harry in the world has followed
the impossible lines laid down by she
old painters, and although sciolice has
been developed and human ideas lave
changed greatly since Athens was in its
prime, the absurd form of the ideal angel
has not changed a particle.
Anybody can see at q glance at the
pictures that this position in flight is an
impossibility. Possibly at a speed of a
mile u secondhand with the wings beat
ing at the rate Of 100, 600 times minute
the position might be maintained.
The point of support is the shoulder
blades. The center of gravity is no.
where, apparently.
1t may be possible that painters de-
sire to represent an angel doing some
thing that a human being would find i'm
possible to do. At any rate, they have
done so.
With the wings at the shoulder blades
the center of gravity would extend
directly downward from the points OF
support. 1t is not very graceful, but il
is true to science and the'law of CRAWL
tation. 1t will be a long time, how
ever, before painters consent to paint
angels in other than impossible posi-
tons.
Everybody remembers how reluctant
artists were to accept the positions of
running horses developed by the camera.
They were so absurd that it was with
difficulty that the negatives could be be-
lieved.
In order to carry the body in a
horizontal position the wings of an
angel should be placed in the small OF
the back and the vertebrate stiffened
with a board. Then, perhaps, there
would be some sort of an agreement
between art and physical possibilities.
