HURRYING TROOPS AWAY.
Expadition May not be Heard
From Before Saturday-
Washington July 24 —The
war department was busied to
day liurryi'ig the dispatch ot the
remainder of the Miles expedi
tion against Porto Rico. Such
progress has been made that i'
is hoped all of the troops will be
on Porto Rican soil within a
we *k at the latest.
Gm. Miles is not expected to
defer his landing until that
time but presumably will pick ,
out a suitable place for encamp
ing his troops and establish h m
self ashore awaiting the arrival ,
of the other detachments now
on their way.
War department ofli cials ex
pect that the first news received
from Gen. Miles will come
through the press dispatches as
the general has not with him,
so far as known, any dispatch
boats. I
It will be at least Saturday
before direct communication can ,
be established with him, and in |
the meantime reliance must be ,
had on the dispatch boats run ,
ning across to St. Thomas, dis
tance about four hours run. It
was expected at the depart m *nt .
that Gen. Brooke and General
Haines would sail today from
Newport News t> join Miles and (
that most of Gen. Brooke’s com
mand would be embarked by (
Wednesday. ,
The woik of embarkation a,
Newport News is b°ing conduct
ed with much less difficulty ami
delay than was expected. Col.
Hecker, in charge of the trans
portation division of the war de
partment, who hasjust returned
from that place, has reported to
Secretary alger that it is emi
nently suited to the shipment of
the troops.
Consequently the secretary
today ordered all of G hi. Grant’s
brigade, 3,000 men from Chi'ca
manga to Newport News. It is
not expected that all the trans
ports required for their aceom
modation will have arrived here
by the time the soldiers get in
but. thev will encamp on suitable
ground there, and it is believed
will be benefited by the change
from Chicka mauga.
The signal service has sue
ceeded in reclaiming from, the
battlefield of Santiago the tubes
which supplied the nnlitarv
balloon itself, have been brought
over to Tampa on the steamer
Adria. ’The tubes will be re
charged immediately and the
waole apparatus will be dis
patched at once to Porto Ric<>
to assist Gen. Miles in his cam
paign there.
The balloon is said to have
proved of great value in th
Santiago campaign, and from
the character of the country in
Porto Rico, where military op
erations must be conducted, ii
is believed that it can aUo b>-
used to advantage there. It was
announced today at the navy
department that the secretary

HEAVY LOSS ALLEGED
To Americans Before the Porto
hjean Forts.
Madrid, July 26—A private
dispatch from San Juan de Porto
Rico says a strong American
squadron has appeared before
Bahia Hondo, but that the
American attempt to disembark
was repulsed with considerable
loss.
There is still an endeavor to
keepalive the impression that
something is going on behind
the scenes in the direction of
peace, but ihe prevalent idea is
that the war will contibue until
the fall of Manila and the inva
sion of Pofto Rico. Peace is im
possible until there is more
unanimity in Spain with regard
to the necessary sacrifices of l
territory. The ministers, having
irrived at an understanding,
will await the march of events.
A cabinet crisis has been averted
for the time being .
Those who succeed the present
cabinet will certainly be obliged
before-long to ask the country
to submit terms profoundly re
pugnant to the national pride.
The prosp'-ct of intermediary
cabinets is marred by the correc
altitude of Gen. Polaviej.i, who
Inclines t» become the instru
ment of politicians eager to
create a third party.
According to a dispatch from
Cadiz to The Imparcial. of this
city, advi es from Tangier say
the foreign minister of Morocco
declares that if the Americans
enter Moroccan ports they will
be notified to leave in twenty
four hours, and it is added if
they refuse to !o so Morocco will,
place herself under the protec
tion of the powers.
The exodus of carlists from
the northern provinces of Spain
into Prance is extremely active
All the leading members of the
party have left Madrid.
On the other hand, some in
fluential Carlistp repudiate any
illegal action and the best au
thorities are also of the opinion
that there is no danger ot a ris
ing at present, since few Span
iards are willing to invite na
tional calamities by plunging
the country into the horrors of
the civil war.
, How much property a man will leave
when he dies depend* largely upon his
health. The man who suffers from ill
health stands little show of being a suc-
I cessful business man. The man who comes
to his desk in the morning with a head
-1 ache, who suffers all day from dullness and
drowsiness, who goes to his meals without
an appetite and tosses restlessly through
the night without sleyp, is not likely to
leave a competence for his widow and or
phans. Success is even more dependent
upon health than upon ability.
Few men realize these trtiths. They
’ think that everything can be accomplished
by work, and that health is a secondary
consideration. Work is useless unless it is
• good work, and good work is never done
, save by a thoroughly healthy man. Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is the
best of all health restorers and health pre
servers. It makes the stomach strong and
| active. It sends a man to his meals thor
oughly hungry every time. It facilitates
| the flow of digestive juices and makes as
similation perfect. It invigorates the liver.
It purifies the blood and fills it with the
elements of the food. It is the
great blood maker and flesh-builder. It
[ tears down inert, half dead tissues and
, I builds new, firm, muscular flesh It does
not build flabby fat*like cod hver oil ard
I does not make people more corpulent.
Mr John Brooks, of Boylston, Mass., writes “I
f write to tell you of the great benefit I have re
ceived from Dr. Pierce's Golden .Medical TMscov
ery, I was taken with a bad cold which Milled
on my lungs The doctors .said 1 was in ccn
stimpiion and could not get well. I took Cod
Liver Oil and it did me no good After taking
it four months I heard of your ' Golders Medical
Discovery ’ ».nd it saved my life."
