A Part Expecting to Go to Help the
Porto Rico Expedition—A Combined
Movement Later on. Havana With
Seasoned Troopse The Army and
Navy at Odds Over the Responsi--
bility for Delay.‘
Washington, June 11.—The _general
understanding here is that General
'Shafter’s force of 27,000 men, after tak-
ing Santiago d-e Cuba, will be divided.
One part, probably numbering 15,000
or 17,000, will remain at Santiago to
set things in order, attend the removal
of the prisoners of war, and establish
.a provisional government under
The remainder of
'the troops, by the latter part of next
week, if all goes as well as expected,
will be ready for transportation to
Ponce, on the southern coast of Porto.
Rico. The positive date of their de-
parture for that point will be determ'—
ined by the readiness of General Cop-
,pinger’s force to start for San Juan,
Theycampaign in Porto .Rico will,
then take a double phase. At San Juan
there will be a simultaneous attack by
land and sea, the :troops being landed
at an undefended point a few miles
distant, from‘ which they can get
:around to the south of the city, While
.the remnant of the Shafter expedition,
marching by a good military road
about seventy-five miles long from
Ponce to San Juan, will cut the island
in two and form a. junction with the
force already investing the city.
Porto Rico is expected to fall an
easy .victim to our arms. It is t110u3ht
that the campaign. there will beere’ the
effect not only of disheartening Spain,
but of seasoning our own soldiers and
getting them ready for striking the
lastgreat blow of the war, when the
combined movement is made against
Havana. The volunteers who have
helped to capture Santiago and Porto
Rico will be trained down to some.~
thing like the condition of regulars by
that time, and the raw man still in
camp at Chickamauga‘and the Gulf
points can be brought over and used
merely as reserves.
SHAFT-xix
Commander of Cuban Invading Army
The army and navy are decidedly at
GEN..-
odds over the question, Which is to
blame for the present stagnation in the
Cuban campaign? Sympathy here is
almost wholly with the navy, which
has thus far accomplished practically
all it has set out to do, and whose.
work has now come -to a stand still
through lack of support by a land
force. On the Other .hand the army
insists that as soon as a land force
could be got ready it was shipped, but
that the navy was not ready to afford
the necessary escort‘to protect the
transports from some much dreaded
Spanish ships, which are reported as
cruising about in West Indian waters.
The navy retorts that it is ready, and
has been ready at any time, to furnish_
the necessary escort. that he embark-
ation of soldiers was premature and
done to quiet popular criticism, and
that the real cause of the delay, to
cover which the “phantom” Spanish
fleet was conjured up, was the army’s
lack of readiness for making the act-
ual start.
The cabinet did nothing yesterday
toward settling the vexed question of
responsibility or helping either party
to the controversy to make its own
case good. The' secretary of the navy
withdrew from the meeting at a very
early hour and drove home. The next
to leave was the secretary of state, and
the others separated and drifted apart
at about the usual hour.

MOVEMENTS AT CHICKAMAUGA.
Many Reginaents Re. fly to: lll'ove to the
' Front. '_ ’
Chattanooga, Tenn, June 11.-—Every
indication .now pom-ts to~-the fact that
several regiments from Chlckamauga
will, soon be moved to Tampa. The
Fourteenth New' York will be among
the first to go. Owing to the fact that
almost every regiment is short its quo-
ta of men, the orders for the several
, regiments to move will probably not be
received for some days yet.
The railroads entering the city are
under'orders to have all 'their empty
cars assemble here as quickly as pos-
sible, and be in readiness to move the
troops. Additional army corps to be
mobilized here will be located on Mis-
sionary Ridge near Green‘s lake. This
has been ofilcially given out. General
Brooke has announced that over 100,000
men will be encamped a.t Chickamauga
within a. very short time and the num-
ber may run to 125,000.
- A grand review will certainly take
place on July 4. General Brooke has so
informed at committee of gentlemen
from the chamber of commerce, and
that body has extended a formal invi-
tation to President McKiniev to be
present and review the army. General
Brooke believes that the president will
accept the' invitation and come. The
temperature went to 96 at Camp
Thomas yesterday and bids fair to go
still higher to-day. .
The regiments which are thoroughly
equipped and ready to move are the
Eighth. Ninth, Twelfth and Fourteenth
New York, First Pennsylvania, Eighth
Massachusetts, Fourth and Sixteenth
Pennsylvania of the Ohio Cavalry and
Grlggs’s rough riders. The commands
are not equipped up to the mark, but
the recruiting work could be finished
at Tampa. Lieutenant Colonel Rich-
ards. who has been chi-2f aide on Gen-
eral Brooke’s staff for some time, has
been assigned permanently as assist-
ant adjutant generm on the staff of
General James H. 'Wil-son, who is to
command the Sixth Corps when organ-
ized.
Colonel Richa;ds succeeds Lieuten-
ant Colonel W'. E. Eider, who takes
command the Fourteenth New
York. .
There are now about a. score of pa-
tients .in the new Leiter hospital and
more are being sent in. This hospital
is complete in every way. The new
postofi'ice vat Lytle, a. rough, but com-
modious building, is being rushed
through, and probably will be complet-
ed by to-night. It is estimated that
175,000 letters, besides thousands of
packages, are handled daily at the
Lytle office. Thirteen men work from
6 a. m. to 11 p. m., dzstributing mail.
The force will be increased next week.

'DUN’S WEEKLY REPORT.
The Victory at Santiago Causes a'filorc
Confident. Tone in the )Iarket. ‘
New York, June 11.-——The nation has
been thrilled during 'the past wee-l: by
the heroic action of Hobson and his
associates, and the certainty that't‘ne
Spanish Artlantic fleet is imprisonei
and powerless to do harm has helped
to make the tone Of markets more
confident. Every szep of progress dur—
ing the week which has looked toward
an earlv termination of the szruggle
has been reflected in the market an,
in lower rates for money. All indus-
tries have felt the uplifting influence.
The cotton manufacture has been more
embarrassed than any other, owing to
causes not connected with the war.
but has found larger demand for goods
and higher prices for print cloths in a
general conviction that the point of.
difficulty has passed.
The exports. of merchandise from
New York during the past week have
exceeded those for the corresponding
week last year by 40.0 per cent. This
means another heavy excess of exports
over imports, as the imports have fal-
len 28 per cent. below those of last
year. and the balance would be about
840000.000 for the month if the returns
should continue to show a like differ-
ence. ‘ . ‘
Men talk as if wheat had gone down
out of sight, but the collapse of May
speculation has only made it more evi-
dent that the outside world requires
nearly if not quite all the wheat this
country can spare.
Over 210,000,000 bushels of wheal
have already been exported, and al-
most 200,000,000 bushels of corn, 4,134.-
EOO bushels during the past week,
against 1,787,035 last year, and the mar-
ket is justified in feeling that those
who have gone so far beyond all pre-
cedent in defving current reports are.
entitled to pay for it.
Iron and steel production has declin—
e‘d because sever-31 establishments have
stopped for repairs. Yet the weekly
output June lst, 225.398 tons, against
234,163 May lst, with the unsold stocks
- which decreased 18,142 tons during the
month, indicate a consumption weekly
Of 233,876 tons, against 228,258in April,
so that the ablest iron journals are in
error in saying that the apparent con-
sumption does not keep pace with the
production of 1,000,000 tons monthly.
The woolen manufacwrers are buy-
lug no wool. and the sales at the three
chief markers during the past use};
were only 2.549300 pounds, agains: 4,-
878,750 in 1892. The manufacturing
works are running steadily, without
inquiry for more wool, as if they had
on hand material for a year to come.
It is the plain truth that dealers here
'and at the “Test have greatly underes-
timated 'the stock of wool held by the
mills. ’ ..
The ‘boot and shoe manufacture is
actually shipping more products than
in anyprevlous year, and 'more in the
last three weeks than in any year ex-
cept 1895 and 1894, though disputes
about prices continue and for the time
retard shipments. The holders of
leather are trying to get higher prices,
and prices of hides have materially ad-
vanced, but with much fearcf reac-
tion. ,. .. ,,. ~. .

Gen. Merritt Has. Received Word to
Hasten Second Manila Expedition.
San Francisco, June 11..—General
Merritt has received orders from
Washington to rush all work pertain-
ing to ¢he sending of the second trans-
port fleet to the Philippines. A detail
of Nebraska troops has taken charge
Of the steamer Morgan City. Provis-
ions and ammunition have been order-
ed on board the China, Colon and Zea-
landia. Orders on 1the Zealandia. were
for her to sail to-day, but it does not
seem possible for her to get away So
soon. There has been no date set for
the sailing of the other transports that
can be relied on as definite. The stea-
mers Sc-nartor, City'of Pueblo, and the
Queen will soon be made ready to re-
ceive troops.
The Iowa. ' volunteerg reached the
city yesterday. W liile passing through
the desert in Nevada 3. car containing
soldiers from Iowa caught fire, and the
soldiers lost all the?!‘ clothing. S v-
eral Of them were quite badly burned
about the head. Colonel McClure, chief
paymaster, has been instructed to pay
off up to July. 1 all the troops now con--
centrated here as soon as possible. This
will require the expenditure of $940,-
000.
General Ortls has ordered the Idaho
volunteers to join the second Manila.
expedition, which will sail in a few
days. A ‘corps of engineers will also
be added to the expeditionary force.
At a dinner given by Mayor Phelan
to Major General Merritt at the Pacific
Union club, a number of prominent cit—
izens were present. In responding to a
toast in his honor, General Merritt said
that the success of the American
troops in me Philltirincs ccudd not be
doubted. He thought, that the terri-
tory acquired by tho United States by
right of conquest should not be rel'n—
quis‘ied. What the navy had won the
army would hold. He closed by say~
ins . '

are requisite for the development of

His sentiments were heartily ap-
plouded.
THE PRESIDENT WILL APPROVE.
The First Bond Issue Will Probably
for About 50,000,000.
Washington, June 11.—A considerable
part of the time of the cabinet meet-
ing yesterday was devoted to an infor~
mal talk about the contest in Congress
over the war revenue bill. The gen-
eral opinion seemed to be that the final
disposition made Of the seignioruge
question in conference reduced the
threatened evils to a. minimum, and
that in its present shape there was
nothing in the bill which need cause
the president to withhold his approval.
He will Sign it, therefore, as soon as
the engrossed copy reaches him, and
he has time to read it through.
retory Gage has in the meantime pre-
pared in advance for the iSsue of‘the
first loan under it, which will be put
out at once. It is‘understood here that
the amount of this issue will be" only
from $50,000,000 to $60,000,000, possibly
fifty in bonds'and'ten in certificates}
so as to avoid, as far as possible, a dis-
turbance of the money market or any
appreciable effect upon stocks. The
signing of the bill and the issue of the
loan circular will probably all be com-
phssed within twenty-four hours.

Sltuatlon at Santiago. ,
Jamaica, June 11.-—In Santiago de
Cuba there are now about 20,000 Span-
ish soldiers, chiefly infantry, with a
fair contingent of cavalry and field
artillery, drawn from the surrounding
country. Duning the day time the cav-
alry skirmish in the vicinity of the
city, retunning at night to the bar-
racks. In the last few days the ac-
tivity of the Spaniards has been par—
ticularly noticeable. Oxen trains have
been making their way «to the batter-
ies, detachments have been working on
emplacements,‘_ and there have been
other signs showing 'that the Spaniards
are preparing a desperate resistance.
Some guns from Admiral Cervera’s
sh-lps may be removed to the forts. The
insurgents,'a.bopt 5,000 strong, have ta-
ken a position on a mountain to the
westward. Two thousand insurgents
. of this gathering are unarmed. Gen—
eral Maximo Gomez, now about 150
miles inland, is making his Way toward
the coast. Rear Admiral Sampson is
actively co—operating with the insur—
gents. .
ATORPEDO EXPLOSION.
Three IMen Killed and Lieut. Harts
Wounded Near Jacksonville.
Chicago, June 11.—A dispatch to the
News from Jacksonville, Fla., says: “A
torpedo in the St. Johns river at St.
John’s Bluff, eighteen miles below
Jacksonville, exploded yesterday, kil—
ling three men and badlv wounding;
Lieutenant \Villia‘m W. Harts of the
United States Engineer Corps, in
charge of the work of fortifving the
river at that point. One of the killed
was John O’Rourke, an electrician at
Jacksonville, who was at work with a
force of men wiring the torpedoes plac-
ed in the river. How the accident oc-
curred is not known.”
_ More Troops for Merritt.
Washington, June 11.—Orders have
been issued for Batteries B, H, K and
L' of the Third Artillery, now, at the
' Presidio of. San Francisco, to join the .
command of General Merritt for duty
in the Philippines. Light Batteries D
and 0 from the Sixth Artillery, sta-
tioned at Washington barracks and
Fort Myer, Va., will leave Tuesday for
San Francisco.
Austria Refuses to llIediate.
Vienna, June 11.—The government
has declined to initiate mediation be—

queen regent, which, .perhaps, might
