Col. Lawton’s Command Will Form a Part of the
Army to Invade Porto Rico—Movement To
Begin Tomorrow.
Chickamanga National Military Park, Ga., July 20.—The movement of
troops from Camp Thomas for Porto Rico will begin tomorrow. Today
the various commands included in the first order to move are bnsy pack
ing up and loading their effects.
They will have everything finished by night, and can get out at an
early hour tomorrow wi hout- confusion or delay. The railroads have
trains in readiness, and have things so arranged taat they can put troops
throught to Newport News in a very short time. The commands which
go tomorrow are the second brigade of the first division corps consisting
the Fourth Pennsylvania, Fourth Ohio, and Third Illinois, under com
mand of Brigadier General Hains; light batteries B, of Pennsylvania, A
of Illinois, and the Twenty-seventh Indiana battery. The signal corps
under Major Glassford, the reserve hospital corps under Major L. S.
Smith, and the reserve ambulance company, with 38 ambulances under
Major Frank Boyd.
Major General John R. Brooke was at headquarters early today. He
spent the morning in consultation with his officers arranging plans for
the departure to Porto Rico. He declined interviews on the movement of
troops, cr any other subject.
Although the orders have not yet been issued, it is believed safe to say
that the third brigade, first division, first corps, and the second division of
the first corps, will begin moving Thursday or Friday. These commauds
are composed as follows: 1
Third brigade, first division:
First Kentucky, Fifth Illinois and Third Kentucky.
First brigade, second division:
Sixteenth Indiana, Thirty-first Michigan, First We^t Virginia.
Second brigade, Sixth Ohio, One Hundredth and Fifty-eighth Indiana,
Second Ohio.
Third Brigade, Fourteenth Minnessota, First Pennsylvania, First Geor
gia.
General Poland, commander of the second division of the first corps,
has been ill for the past few days, but hopes to be.out in a day or two.
He will accompany his division to the frout.

The telephone system at the park has been abandoned, and the army
nflUoiida are depending entirely npon the telegraph, the. signal corps hav
ing perfected an excellent system with an office at each of the division
headquarters.
AUGUSTI STANDS FIRM
Urged by Aguinaldo to Surrender rianila, He
Refuses.
Manila, July 14. via Hong Kong, July
19.—An important interview has just
beeu held between Gen. Aguiualdo’s
secretary, Legarda, and a prominent na-1
tive white man, and the Spanish com- j
mander, Capt.-Gen. Augusti.
The insurgents’ representative urged
Gen. Augusti to surrender the city, as
serting that fifty thousand insurgents
surrounded Manila and were able to
enter it at any moment. Thus far they
added, the insurgents had been restrained
with difficulty, hut if the Spaniards con
tinued stubborn the result would bo that
the insurgents would be compelled to
bombard and storm the city “with in
evitable slaughter, unparalleled in his
tory because in the excitement of battle
they cannot discriminate.”
Continuing the captain-general’s vis
itors advised him to disregard the offi
cial fictions regarding alleged Spanish
victories in Cuba and reinforcements
coming to the Philippine Islands and
proposed a reconciliation between the
j Spaniards and the Philippines, under a
' republican flag, and a joint endeavor to
: persuade the Americaus to abandon
; hostilities in the Philippine Islands.
Finally, the representatives of the in
surgents proposed to appeal to the pow
ers to recognize the independence of the
Philippine Islands.
The captain-general replied that he
must fight, however hopeless the Span
ish cause.
Legarda then returned to Cavite, tak
ing with him the native, who is a pa
roled prisoner.
The natives inside the city say they
reoeived, a fortnight ago, a concerted
signal to prepare for storming the walls.
A-second signal, fixing the date of the
tSsault, has not yet been issued, aud
they are tired of waiting and are losing
faith in Aguinaldo. The latter, it is
alleged, finds it -extremely difficult to
capture the towu fortifications. His
previous successes, it is pointed out,
were easy, because of the nature of the
country, which suited bis skirmishers.
It is further alleged that the principal
points captured by the insurgents were
obtained possession of through treach
ery.
The insurgents are now bringing ar
tillery around by sea from Malabon,
which is tedious and troublesome work.
They are also obtaining detailed reports
of the condition of affairs from the in
side of the city.
Admiral Dewey is establishing a more
strict blockade, lest it be invalidated by
permitting neutrals to visit Cavite and
Malabon and send and receive mails en
closing surreptitious Spanish dispatches.
He has threateued to station warships
opposite the city, which might precipi
tate hostilities, as the Spanish officers
declare they will certainly fire on any
American within range, regardless of
the consequence.
The second installment of American
troops is expected here daily and the last
detachments are booked to arrive here
early in August. Probably military
oprations will be deferred until the
September dry season, when it is cooler,
and possibly thou bloodshed may be un
necessary.
A Spanish steamer, the Fillipiuas, has
just beeu brought in here in the hands
of the insurgents. It appears that she
was on the northern coast and escaping
to China with a native crew on board,
when the latter revolted, killed the
Spanish officers aud brought the vessel
to Cavite.
The Spaniards are daily employing
convicts to fell trees and burn lints on
the outskirts of the towu. Fusilades
continue, but otherwise the position is
unchanged. The stock of flour is prac
tically exhausted, but the supplies of
rice and buffalo meat will last for
months longer.

also had thirteen ships of the line be
sides a few smaller craft, carrying a i Kll;
men, and having guns capable of throw-
ing 12,000 pounds of shot weight to the
broadside At Manila Dewey had si s
I fighting ships of 19,098 tons, carrying
1,694 men and fifty-three gnus m t ) 1( ,
I main batteries, while Montojo, the Sp^.
ish commander, had eleven ships of 18
141 tons, manned by 1,734 men and
I forty-two guus. From these tignus it
| will be seen that in point of tonnage the
| opposing American aud Spanish fc„- C (*
were about the same as the French am’
English fleets at Aboukir Hay, the
former being 19,089 against 18,141- as
compared to the 20,660 and 22,343 of the
English aud French.
In the great fleet action between the
nglish under Lord Howe and the
French commanded by Admiral Yillaret,
May 28 to June 1, 1794, there was just
double the force engaged at Aboukir.
This action being fought iu the open
sea deprives us of a close comparison
with Dewey’s exploit at Manila, but
noue the less it reflects most creditably
on the American commander. Ever
with their twenty-six ships of the line—
both the English aud French having
that number—17,000 aud 20,uOO compli
ments and 23,000 to 28,000 pounds of
shot weight tc the broadside, neither
the French nor the English admirals
handled the destructive forces Dewey or
Montojo had with their six and eleven
ships and their 1,694 and 1,734 men. At
has been shown, the 1,694 Americans at
Manila handled a power of destruction
that the 17,000 men under Lord Howe
never dreamed of. The Olympia alone
would have proved a formidable antag
onist to the greater part of the French
fleet. Iu this battle, extending over
three days, the British had 2!>o killed
and 858 wounded, while the French bad
3,000 killed and 4,000 wounded, or about
two-fifths of their entire number. Duly
six of the French vessels were captured,
Nearly the same figures pertain to the
great battle of Trafalgar, fought iu 1805.
There the English had twenty-seven
ships of the line as opposed to the thirty-
three of the French and Spaniards, or
2,148 guns against the 2,626 of the allies.
Here the English loss was 44'.) killed and
1,241 wounded, and they captured or
destroyed nineteen of the enemy’s ships
of the line. And so the comparison
could be carried out iu all the great
naval battles early iu the century, in
each case it appearing that Dewey, with
his six ships and 1,694 men, had quite
as great a power for offence or defence
as any of the old time haval heroes.—
