EIGHTH year
smoke a “Bill Arp’ warters New Biand
Os! TO PORTO RICO.
Transports are Ready For
The Campaign
TO BEGIN THIS WEEK. I
Where the Troops are and How
They WiH Mobilize.
Washington, July 16.—vren.
Toral’s surrender will hasten
the expedition to Porto Rico, |
and the presence of yellow fev-1
er among the troops has deter
mined the authorities to fit out
a new expedition.
Most of the troops at Santiago
will be brought back, but the
Nixth and Tenth Cavalry, and
Twenth fourth United States In
fantry, all colored, will be left
there for garrison duty. Colored
troops will also be sent to San
tiago from Dry Tortugas. Be
sides these, the three regiments
of white immunes, so far organ
iz’d, will also go.
The war department was to
day at wo: » under the new
plans. Efforts were directed to
ward getting the American
troops out of Cuba,* negotiating
for the transportation of Toral’s
men to Spain and arranging for
the new expedition.
Gen. Brooke will be in com
mand of the Porto Riiau expe
dition. Ho is expected here for
a conference with Gen. Alger.
There are-excellent reasons to
believe that the point now in
view for the first landing is Are
cibo, a harbor on the northern
coist of Porto Cico, and to th ■
west of San Juan. Although the
harbor is not of the best, it is
v.t/ good at this time of year
ami is especially desirable in
that it is connected with San
Jinn by a railroad.
Fresh transports are now
awaiting the new troops that are
expected to go. Between New
York and Tampa, and including
both ports there are 24 trans
ports 10 or 11 of which are at
Ta in pa.
At Tampa there are now 7,000
volunteers and regulars, three
volunteers being infantry and
four cavalry, and 10 or 12 bat
teries of artillery.
A great deal of the artillery
in Santiago also will be taken
to Porto Rico. But most of the
troops there, after being on the
hills for the proper quarantine
limit, will be brought to the
vicinity of Boston.
Within the next four or five
days Major Nelson A. Miles
will return to Tampa, where he
will supervise the organization
of the expedition to Porto Rico
as he did that to Santiago. It is
thought that within a week the
details will hrve been so knit
together as to have put the ex
pedit'on practically on the way.
Admiral Sampson, under in
structions from Secretary Long
is araanging for a fleet to go to
Pcrto Rico. Commcdore Schley
will assist R ar Admiral Samp
son in the operations against
Porto Rico. Attached to the fleet
will be the New York, Brooklyn,
Texas, Indiana, Cincinnati, Ve
suvius and auxiliary cruisers
and torpedo boats.

THE BOME HUSTLER-COMMERCIA L
HIGH PRfIJSK
From Dewey for Chinamen
on bis Fleel,
THEY ACTED NOBLY.
>
He Desires That They be Rec
ognized in Some Manner,
Washington, July 16—In
further proof of the nobility of
the character of Admiral Dewey
his recommendation to the
United Slates government, now
filed in the Sta e Department,
that the Chinese servants and
other Chinese, who were on the
ships of his squadron during
the battle of Manila, and who
rendered most efficient service
on that occasion and behaved in
a most exemplary manner, be
recognized by this government
in some stable manner.
He seems to think men who
bat Jed for our country should
not be excluded from it. In re
ferring to those Chinese, he
that they showed much courage
and energy in the face of the
enemy ; that they are certainly
worthy the treatment accorded
citizens of other countries who
have thus exposed their lives
for the country in which they
seek citizenship.
He is decidedly in favor of
recognizing these brave and
useful Chinese in such away as
shall admit them to the United
States in case the)* desire to en
t«>r it, and to become citizens of
it.
GRAHAM’S LIE.
That Deway’s Success Due to
British Gunhers.
Washington, July 16.—With
all of our disposition to be on
friendly terms with the British,,
our naval officers are quick to
resent the allegations made to
the effect that Dewey owed his
marvelous success at Manila to
the employment of English gun
ners whom he had engaged at
fabulous wages at Hong Kong
before he sailed for Manila.
Such a statement as this was
made by Cunningham Graham,
an ex-member of parliament, in
a communication to some of the
British newspapers, which
aroused a good deal of discus
sion.
Cant. Crowninshield,the chief
of the navigation bureau, said:
“We never have yet been called
upon to get Englishmen to teach
us how to shoot. ”
