IN THE
DUNLOP TIRE

the part that holds the air is a sepa-
rate tube of pure rubber and can be
instantly removed, minutely examined,
and the smallest puncture readily dis
covered. Repairs are made on it by a
little rubber solution and a piece of
patching rubber, as easily applied as a
postage stamp lin fact. in the absence
of these materials, postage stamps have
been used very uccessfully)-and what
is most important of all, THE RE
PAIR WHEN MADE IS ABSOLUTE
LY PERMANENT. The work does not
have to be done over again by an ex-
pert repairer.
The puncture can be as easily repaired
when it occurs in the side or bottom of
the tire-that is, the portion against
the rim-as when it happens to be
right in the center of the tread. Such
repairs as these in the cheaper forms
Of tires are very difficult to accom-
plish, especially If the puncture is very
small and cannot be readily located.
The Dunlop Tire requires no plugs!
No guesswork! And these are

the navy wrote to the secretary of war that
by the 18th the naval convoys from Samp-
sons fleet would be ready to start, without
regard to the Spanish ships and in sending
this dispatch to Gen. Miles at Tampa, AGjt.
Gen. Corbin, by order of the secretary, di-
rected that Miles transmit It to Shafter. On
the 18th the adjutant general communicated
directly with Major Gen. Shafter, suggest
Ing that the army transports leave Tampa
tabout is hours before the Key West division
Of the convoy reached Rebecca shoal. Sew
eal kilograms on this subject were exchanged
directly between the war department and
Shafter, and not until tie 18th of June is
anything printed as coming from Miles,
when he reported that the steamers were
moving out to sea. This telegram is signed
by Miles, major general, instead OF Miles,
commanding, as in the case Of some of the
preceding kilograms. There seems to have
been a lack of uniformity, however, in the
method of addressing and signing this whole
series of dispatches.
Dispatches of June 18th are given, sum-
moning Miles to Washington, after Shafter
had sailed. A note states that the object
was to have the major general commanding
outfit an expedition for Porto Rico.
SKATERS LANDING
Following these are some kilograms an
nouncing the further movements of the
transports and the landing of the Shafter
expedition. The secretary includes III his
report the plan of campaign in written form
submitted by Gen. Miles on June oath, and
already published as part of the latter's re-
port. This, in substance, was to proceed
after the capture of Santiago, to capture q
fort on the north coast of Cuba land a
force of $4,000 cavalry, and make march
through the interior of the country upon
Havana from that base.
MILES PLAN NOT APPROVED
The secretary has this to say:
"The plan of campaign recommended bv
Gen. Miles in his letter dated June oath was

of War, Washington, d. c.: Think it would
be well to announce that the army got on
board transports and started, as they did
yesterday. Say nothing about its being re-
called, but let our naval vessels 20 over the
course that our transports would have gore
over, with the hope of finding those Spanish
ships. Does not the presence of Spanish
war vessels in Cuban waters render it ex.
tremely hazardous to send troops on trans.
ports until they are captured DESTROYED or
driven away? And under the circumstances
is it expected that l shall organize expedi-
ton No 2? Arrangements had been partly
made before the presence of the Spanish
ships were announced MILES,
"Major General, Commanding"
PLANS NOT CHANGED
"War Department, June 8, lS9S.-Maior
Gen. Miles, Tampa, Fla: The president di.
reefs me to say that no change of plans will
be made; that the expedition No must be
organized as rapidly as possible. We are
looking for transports and are satisfied that
the navy will take care of that problem. Give
nothing out. r. y. ALGER,
Secretary of War"
Tampa, Fla, June 8, 2:45 p. m.-Secretary
of War, Washington: 1t seems that it is a
naval problem yet unsolved, and it might
be advisable for the command now on board
transports to have the protection of the
entire navy to convoy it to No. /, No. 2 or
NUevitas, or, if this is considered hazardous,
then keep the troops in healthful camps, as
they are now, and assist the navy to destroy
the Spanish fleet. There are here rs good
steamers that could be used to carry water
coal and supplies, guns, revolving cannon
and mortars, etc, and they could be added
to the force of the navy. 1t seems strange
to be suggesting that the army assist the
navy in this way, but l am sure we would
receive most loyal support when the waters
are safe for crossing with the army.

rated at $4,000 passengers in capacity, even
the 10000 persons transported was larger
number than should have been carried. For
tunately they arrived without serious acci-
dent, however.
SHAFTER'S FIRST DUTY
The first duty for which General Shafter
was selected, viz: to make reconnaissance in
force about 5000 strong on the south side Of
Cuba, Secretary Algcr says, was abandoned
on account of the movements of the enemy's
fleet.
Says the secretary:
Major General Shafter was selected to
command the expedition to Santiago"
Next in order the secretary quotes his mes
sage of May Sd, sent at 2:30 o'clock at night
to General Shafter at Tampa, directing him
to start for Santiago to land east or west OF
that point, in his own judgment, and move
on to the high grounds in such position as
TO destroy the garrison there and cover the
navy as 1T sends its men in small boats to
remove torpedoes or, with. the aid OF the
navy, capture or destroy the Spanish fleet
reported to be in the hdrbor. Genera Shat
ter was to accomplish this with the least
possible delay, making use Of the insurgents,
but being careful not to put too much conf
dence IN any persons outside OF his own
troops.
DEPARTURE FROM TAMPA
The report states that on May Goth Gen
eral Miles left for Tampa to assist in the
embarkatiOn of troops. June 4th the secre.
tary telegraphed Shafter at Tampa that
Sampson reported Cervera safely bottled in
Santiago harbor, and urged immediate aid
from his troops. Sampson reported 1850
Spanish troops as the garrison of the VI
cinity. The following day dispatch was
received from Shafter at Tampa explaining
the delays in the embarkation of the troops
as not preventable. The main cause of delay
Is said to be that great quantities of stores
were rushed in promiscuousy, with no faci-
tiles to handle or store them. The railroad
for ten miles back from the wharf was
single track and narrow place in which
The herald., 1898-12-03

to work. The capacity of the place had been
greatly exceeded. He (Shafter) would not
delay Il minute, but would not send his
troops away until they were properly
equipped. General Corbin, in reply, ex-
pressed the presidents satisfaction at Cen
eral Skaters accomplishments.
Then follows the dispatch of June 9TH OF
General Miles, already published in his re-
port, saying that the expedition had been de-
layed through no fault of any one connected
with it and continuing:
This expedition is so important that
desire to go with this army corps or to i'm
mediately organize another and go with it
to join this and capture position No. 9.
Now that the military is about to be used
believe it should be continued with every
energy, making the most judicious use of 1t
to accomplish the desired results"
SIMPSONS MESSAGE
A telegram from Sampson of the It'll.
transmitted by the secretary "to Major Gen.
eral Shafter or Major General Miles at
Tampa, declares that he has siienced the
works at Santiago; that if 10000 men were
there the city and fleet could be taken; that
every consideration demanded an immediate
army movement, and if delayed the city
would be defended more strongly by guns
taken from the fleet. Following, without
explanation, is this dispatch to General
Shafter at Port Tampa from Secretary
Alger, dated the 7th:
Since telegraphing you an hour since the
president directs you to sail at once with all
the force you have ready"
In reply, Shafter said he would sail the
next morning, which was as early as steam
could be gotten up. This was p. M, and
at 9.3 p. m. Miles at Tampa telegraphed
directly to the president:
"From the commanding officer. down to
the drummer boys, every one is impatient to
80 and annoyed at the delay. The last of
the troops from Chickamauga arrived TINS
morning, and have been equipped and hur-
ried to the steamers. Feel confident they
will all do their best to carry out the wishes
and directions of the president.

CONDlllONS EXPLAINED
Without indicating what disposition was
made of the suggestions contained in his dis
patch, Secretary Alger goes on to briefly ex-
plain the conditions which confronted the
American army at that moment. The Sec
retary of the navy was convinced that Ger
vera was in Santiago harbor, and every en-
ergy was bent to concentrate military force
near Santiago to aid in the destruction of the
Spanish fleet and the capture OF the city.
The great difficulty was the want of trans
ports; the loading facilities at Port Tampa
were imperfect, and there was great confu-
sion caused by the large concentration of
supplies there. The railroad facilities were
inadequate; there was a failure to label the
cars, and the postoffice was congested so that
bills of lading were delayed. Few of the
thirty-six transports finally gathered there
were fit for such service, but they were the
best that could be had, and while they were

After Mysterious Absence of 8 Years.
Special to the Register.
Parkersburg, w. Va, October 90
John Slemaker, after a mysterious dis
appearance of eighteen years, suddenly
appeared at his home at Sistersville
yesterday. The old man is now over
seventy years of age, and his appear
ance at home was not unexpected by
the aged wife, who has always been of
the belief that he would some day re-
turn. Mrs. Slemaker, so firm was she
in her belief that her husband would
return again, has never left her home
for fear he would appear and she would
be absent, but strangely enough, she
was persuaded to leave for. visit to
Wheeling and when she arrived home
she was overjoyed to find her husband
sitting by the fireside.
No explanation has been, given of the
old mans queer actions, and his return
was only to find his sons immensely
wealthy, they having been among the
first oil men to make rich strikes in the
Sistersville oil fields, and the family
living in luxury.
