GENERAL GARCIA’S FORCES AT TACK PRISONERS OF WAR. General Miles May Reach Porto Rico Today and Begin Hia Campaign on the Island- Washington, Joly 23—General Miles is now east of Cape bey nod the reach of cable station for a day or two. Il is assumed by the war department that all is well with him, and that his flagship, the Yale, with the remainder of the fleet, will cast anchor tomorrow morning in the waters of Porto Rico at‘the point se lected for the debarkation. Thus it may again happen that Sunday, which has heretofore been so lucky a day for American military and naval operations during this war, will be further distinguished asa day upon which the Porto Rican campaign wi’.l be initiated. The pavy is now actively co operat ing with the army in making a success of Miles’ expedition, and will use ever, effort to land bis troops Unfortunate ly nearly all the available boats of Sampson’s fleet were damaged, in many cases beyond service, in making the landing at Santiago, but it is ex pected that their lose will not bo severely felt now lighters have been provided. Dispatches from Santiago tell of a fierce battle fought Thursday between 4,000 Cubans under General Garcia and 5,000 Spaniards. The Americans would not allow the Cubans to wreak vengeance on the Spaniards in Santiago,and the Cubans determined to storm some other im portant place and take possession of it on their own account. It was with this object in view that General Garcia withdrew bis troops from the American lines and refused longer to act as an ally of General Shafter. He decided to capture Hol guin if possible, and to make that place the Cuban headquarters for the eastern department. The Cubans and Spaniards met on' the road between Santiago and Hol guin. The Spaniards, it is said, had been gathered from the fortified towns in the vicinity and were proceeding to Santiago under the terms of surrender agreedto by General Toral. Despite the information that these Spaniards were a part of those includ ed in General Toral’a surrender, Gens eral Garcia is said to have ordered bis troops to prepare to fight. The Cubans quickly took the posi tions to which they bad been assigned, and the order to fire was passed along the line General Garcia had decided to at tempt to carry the Spanish position by assault, and his troops pressed for ward when the word was given. Their progress was firmly resisted at every point by the Spaniards, who, after several hours’ fighting, put the Cobans to rout, with a loss of 41 killed and many wounded. The Spanish suf fered a smaller lose. The story of battle and its disastrous results has greatly excited the Cubans. They are demanding vengeance and cannot understand why the Americans do pot annihilate their Spanish pris oners of war. OA.fII7OZt.ZA.. Bsanth. . KindYoafewAlwajsßought •f Card of Thanks.

We submit further that instead of paying the officers from 1125 to 1300 per mouth, and the soldier who bears the hardships of all campaigns only sl6 per month, that the rale should be ehanged so as to make it fair and just. Why not! The most economi cal soldier is forced to spend some of the money paid him for the necessities that the government does not furnish. This of course would pay but a small moity to support an ordinary family. Then lot the officers’ salaries be re duced, and let them take their pay, part money,part glory and the balance in the good time they have, and pay the private SSO per month, giving him S2O and sending the balance to his family.
