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. Mr. J.

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. ” WHILE ENTOMBED Mr. Beno M«de Love And Won a Bride.
