Probable ’l‘lmt; 25,000 Men Will Be

Capture Spanish Base of Supplies.
Washington, May 3l.—The receipt of
positive information with regard to the
presence of the Spanish fleet in Santia-
go harbor has brought to a head the
preparations for an immediate invas—
ion of Spanish possessions.
General Miles left for Tampa last
night. That announcement has been
made a good many times already, only
to be followed by a change of plan,
but there seems to be no question
about it this time. The troOps‘ are be-
ing loaded on transports ready to start,
according to an apparently authorita-
tive statement made at the war depart—
ment yesterday morning and Admiral
Sampson has ships ready to convoy
them.
The first invading force is to consist
of regiments of the regular army. They
will be quickly followed by the best
equipped and most thoroughly skilled
volunteer regiments in camp in Flori-
da, probably the Seventy-first New
York and the Second Massachusetts.
It is probable that about 25,000 men
will be shipped before the close of the
week. The landing place is not known.
It is not even definitely known whether
the destination of the army is to Cuba
or Porto Rico.
Difference of Opinion.
Secretary Alger and Secretary Long
have favored an initial movement on
Cuba, but General Miles, and it is un-
derstood the president, have preferred
the seizure of Porto Rico first. It is ar-
gued that it is of the first importance
to get hold of the Spanish base of sup-
plies, and with San Juan in the posses-
sion of the American forces, the ca—
pitulation of Blanco’s army must fol~
low as a matter of course.
A much smaller army of invasion
and occupation will be required in Per:
to Rico than in Cuba, and after the
capture of the fortifications at the en-
trance of San Juan harbor it will not
be difficult for 25,950 men to seize the
city. VVlth the aid of the blockading
fleet even fewer men than these can
complete the occupation.
By that arrangement more time
would be given in which to arm and
equip the forces which will be required
to subdue those under Blanco at Ha-
vana. However, there is no definite
knowledge here outside the administra-
tion as to whether Cuba or Port-o Rico
is to be the first point of attack.
GEN. TRACY SEES GOV. BLACK.
They Confer Abaut Van “'yck’s Removal
of Haxnilto'n and Philips.
Albany, May 31.—General Benjamin
F. Tracy was in conference with Gov—
ernor Black and State Superintendent
of Insurance Payn at the Capitol yes-
terday. General Tracy came here in
the interest of the New York city Re-
publicans, to protest against Mayor
Van Wyck’s action in removing the
two Republican police commissioners
and the subsequent retirement of Chief
of Police McCullagh by the incomplete
police board.
The conference lasted for two hours
and the whole question was discussed.
The result of the conference, if any
was reached, could not be learned, ex-
cept that the declaration was made
that the Republican leaders do not pro-
pose to allow Tammany Hall to cheat
them out or" an honest canvass of the

green, blue and gray, promises to be
extremely fashionable for dresses this
summer. This material is particu-

the graceful folds which are now so

For young girls gowns of this ma-

A lovely frock for a dainty blonde is
of a delicate shade of green, with trim-

Double epaulets and a frill at the‘wrist
finish the shirred sleeve. Fine silk
braid in green and lilac forms the deco-
ration.

Hong Kong, China, May 31.—The
Spaniards have offered $25,000 reward
for the head of Aguinaldo, the insur-
gent leader, who is actively drilling the
rebels, preparatory 'to an attack upon
Manila. . ‘
In reply to the Spanish attempt to
win over Aguinaldo’s men the insur-
gents are said 'to have informed the
Spaniards that they are neutral and
will await events.
Aguinaldo went to Manila with Dew-
ey’s squadron and was landed to make
connections with the insurgents. [He is
the most bitter enemy of Spain in the
Philippines, and if he were‘removed
the rebellion would lose its greatest
leader.
