The Command 0f the Porto Rico Ex-
pedition.
Washington, July 18.--Paving the
way for the army of invasion, the navy
department has initiated measures for
blockading all of the ports of Porto
Rico.
In accordance with instructions sent
by Secretary Long, three monitors have
left Key West'for Porto Rican waters,
where they will take station in front
of San Juan, whose fortifications they
will attack. The monitors are the Pu-
ritan, Amphitrite and Miantonomoh,
while the Terror remains on guard off
Havna.
The arrival of these three vessels will
increase the blockading force in front
of San Juan to six vessels. It is not
intended to keep all of these ships at
that point, however, but on the arrival
of the monitors, the other ships will go
to other Porto Ricanports.
There are only eight ports which it
will be necessary to blockade, San Ju-
an, Playa, Mayaguez, Agundilla, Are-
cibo, Fajardo, Naguabo and Arroyo. At
the present time the only port declared
in a state of blockade is San Juan. It
Is expected that upon the arrival of the
monitors the president will proclaim the
blockade of the entire island.

It is apprtciated by the authorities
that Spain will make a. desperate re-
sistance at Porto Rico, provided she
does not sue for peace in the meantime,
and the blockade of the island is a.
warning .to Spain and the world in gen-
eral that this government-intends to
take possession of it.
The authorities do not intend to keep
the warships waiting long, but as soon
as arrangements can be perfected
troops will be sent to the island and
the invasion will begin. The declara-
tion and enforcement of the blockade
ls simply a preliminary step.
Another reason why the president and
Secretary Long do not’desire the army
of invasion to delay its departure is
the fact that the monitors have but
small coal capacities and frequent coal-
lng will be necessary without a conve-
nient port to put into when coal is need-
ed. For this reason it is expected that
Rear Admiral Sampson, directly he ar-
rives in Porto Rican waters next week,
will make arrangements for occupying
s small harbor where his ships can coal
In safety. In fact, the programme fol-
lowed at Guantanamo will in all prob-
ability be pursued in Porto Rico.
The dispatch of the monitors to Porto
Rico water is significant as indicating
the desire of the naval authorities to
rely upon their heavy guns, especially
as it has practically been decided to
detach all the battleships from Rear
Admiral Sampson’s command. Besides,
the monitors present a small target,
and will be able to escape the shells
which will be fired against them by the
San Juan gunners.
Major General J. R. Brooke. who, un-
der General Miles, will command the
expedition to Porto Rico, arrived in
Washington on Friday night too late
to have a conference with the authori-
ties at the war deprtment, but he spent
yesterday making plans for the ap-
proaching campaign. ' '
The Spanish Expedition.
’ The president and his cabinet are de-
termined to make Spain sue'for peace.
If the victories of our navy and army
(p to date are not enough, then the war
will be carried into other Spanish ter-
itory and perhaps into Spain itself.
Important instructions relative to the
)rganizaition of the eastern squadron
{and its plan of operations against Spain
were intrusxted yesterday afternoon to
Commander W. H. Brownson, comman-
ier of the auxiliary cruiser Yankee, for
delivery to Commodore Watson, his
:ommander in chief. These instructions
were considered and approved-this.af-'
ternoon by Secretary Long during a
conference he had with the naval war
board.
The question of increasing the east-
ern squadron has been definitely deter—
mined. Orders will be .issuedwithin-
the next few days assigning all of the
battle-ships to the eastern squadron,
provided Rear Admiral Sampson makes
no objection. Should orders be issued
In accordance with the information of
the official who talked with a reporter,
Commodore Watson will have at his
disposal these men of war: Battle—
ships Oregon. Massachusetts. Iowa. In-
diana and Texas, protected cruisers
Newark, and probably New Orleans,
Minneapolis and Columbia, and the
auxiliary cruisers Yankee, Yosemite
ma Dixie. '
This will leave armored and protect-
ed cruisers to conduct operations
against Porto Rico and to defend the
American coast.
Secretary Long thoroughly appreci-
iltes that no great amount of damage
can be done to Spanish cities by the
American warships, and that the only
result of bombardment will be of a
moral character, designed to influence
the Madrid government to sue for
peace. But the bombardment of forti-
fications will result in return fire from
Spanish guns and it is deemed desira-
ble to have well protected ships par-
ticipate in the attack.
There can be no question of the effect
of the appearance of such a force on
the Spanish coast. Admiral Camara,
with only one second class battleship,
the Pelayo, and the first class armored
cruiser the Carlos V, which may be
ranked as a second class battleship,
besides four torpedo boat destroyers,
I. dozen torpedo boats and half a doztn
auxiliary cruisers, will, be in a much
worse plight than was Admiral Cer-
were. His force is so vastly inferior to
Bornmodore Watson's command that its
innih-ila-tion would be complete even if
It fought under the guns of the Cadiz
fortifications, from which every effort
will be made by Cbmmodore Watson to
firew it. ' -'
THE OLIVETTE ARRIVES.
Wounded from Cubanrought North for
' Care. ‘
New York, July 18.--With nearly
three hundred wounded soldiers aboard
her, the hospital ship Olivette arrived
at this port Saturday night. She was
due to reach here about 2 p. m., but
owing to the foulness of 'her bottom she
was unable to make much more than
ten knots an hour. It had been arrang-
ed that one hundred of the men should
be taken to the marine hospital at Sta-
pleton, Staten Island, and the remain-
der distributed in hospitals in Brook-
lyn. In .the hope of an early arrival
of the Olivet'te a crowd of at least 300
people, many of Whom had either rela-
tives or friends aboard, gathered at the
entrance to the Stapleton landing and
although it was midnight before the
soldiers were landed there was no per—
ceptible decrease in the crowd.
At the quarantine station Dr. Doty,
the health oflicer, was prepared to
board the Olivette immediately she
came- to anchor. While waiting for the
hospital s’hip he stated that it was his
purp05e if there were any cases of in-
fectious diseases aboard to remove the
men so afflicted to Swinburne island.
As it happened, however, there were
no contagious cases to deal with.
The scene that met the eye on board
the ship was pathetic indeed. The men
'Were clad in all sorts of clothing, some
of it improvised. There was hardly
one who was fortunate enough to pos-
sess a whole uniform. They had all
thrown their kits away while march-
ing under the tropical sun of Cuba, and
had been unable to replenish them.
There were several men who were clad
only in underc-lothes, while there were
others who were obliged to cover them-
selves with blankets. There was not
one who was not bandaged either in
limb or body. Lots of them Were una-
ble to stand and were lying upon mat-
tresses laid on the deck. Fully a third
of the men had been wounded in the
arm. The worst cases were to be found
in the berth rooms and here in many
cases the sight was touching. There
were soldiers stretched in bunks whose
bodies were almost wholly swathed in
bandages, and who it was obvious, were
still suffering great agony from their
wounds. Among the worst instances
was Edward Marshall, the New York
Journal correspondent, who was shot
in the stomach and in the groin. His
brother, I. D. Marshall, was at quaran-
tine to meet him and when he was tak-
en to the state room on the upper deck
where his brother was lying the woun-
ded man fainted twice from the ex-
citement of the'meeting. He will be
removed to ‘his home and the surgeon
in w-ho'Se care he was, said that he
thought Mr. Marshall would recover.
To STAMP OUT YELLOW FEVER.
Tho Surgeon-Gen. to Send-Doctors,.Nur-
’ ses and'Snpplles. . .
Washington, July 18.--Wa'r depart-
ment officials are paying great atten-
tion to the adoption of strict 1me~as-’
ures for the protection of our vtrOOps
from yellow fever and from low’tropi-
country in the rear. Adjutant General
ed to remove the troops at Santiago jat
the earliest possible momentato the
ed to, remove the troops at Santiago at
Corbin said that within five miles of
Santiago proper the conditions were
as nearly ideal as obtainable-in the
tropics for stamping out the feVer; high
hills insured well. drained camps, a
most important element in the preser-
vation of health; the water Supply
coming from the mountains was pure
and abundant and fresh: sea breezes
prevailed. '
While the main body of troops; is to
be transferred back to these bills until
they are needed for service elsewhere
or are returned to the United States,
some troops necessarily will be placed
either in the town itself or in camps
commanding the place, in order to
protect the inhabitants. It is believed
that the two regiments of immunes al-
ready on their way to Santiago willbe
issigned to that duty. This will be a.
severe test of the principle involved in
the formation of the immune regiments,
for it is suspected that many of the
alleged immunes are merely persons
who have spent only a few weeks in the
tropics under conditions that never
brought them into direct exposure to
yellow fever.
A French War Ship Held Up.
Key West, Fla, July 18.--The trans-
port Niagara, which arrived off the bar
at daylight yesterday morning, was
towed into the harbor and is now an-
chored off Fort Taylor. She comes
for a supply of coal and provisions,
Thursday. She reports that a French
warship attempted to enter Guantana-
mo without revealing her identity, but
was brought to by blank cartridges by
the Marblehead.
England as a Peacemaker.
Paris, July 18.--T-he correspondent of
the Temps, at Madrid, says:
"The British ambassador daily press-
es the government to accept the good
offices of the English cabinet, repre-
senting that it can alone obtain honor—
able conditions for Spain."
The correspondent sarcastically says:
“The “ambassador points out that Eng-
land will only ask a slight extension
of Gibraltar or the little island of Ta-
rifa. as a fee.”
Won’t Believe the Irene Incident.
Berlin, July 18.--In spite of Admiral
Dewey’s dispatch confirming the ex-
clusive news of the Associated Press
regarding the conduct of the German
warship Irene alt Subig bay, Philippine
islands, 3. section of the German press
still professes to disbelieve the Irene
incident. The Cologne Gazette says:
“’I‘l‘le story was get up by the Asso-
ciated Press with the deliberate pur-
pose of producing enmity between Ger-
many and America.”
Classifying the Bond Issue.
Washington, July 18.--T’he work of
classifying the new bond issue has

treasury department to announce that
all subscriptions for $4,980 andiess will

THE nvnnlno_oanTTn'g
ls: THE CANADIAN COM-MISSION. .7: ’
This Country's Representatives Appoints
by the President. -
Washington, July 18.--The president
has appointed the five commissioners
who are to meet an equal number of
representatives chosen by the Dominion
of Canada to adjust if possible all out-
standing causes of difference or friction
between the governments of Canada;
and the United States. '
The American members of the pro-
posed joint conference are:
Senator Charles W. Fairbanks
lndiana. .
Senator George Gray of Delaware.
Representative Nelson Dingley of
Maine, chairman of the ways and
means committee of the House.
John A. Kasson. of Iowa.
John W. Foster of the District of Co-
lumbia. ‘
The commissioners named 'will be
recognized as exceptionally qualified for
the delicate task intrusted *to them. Of
the five, Senator Fairbanks is perhaps
the only one Without a wide experience
either legislative or diplomatic, in the
field of American relations with Cana-
da. , Mr. Gray has been for many years
a member of the Senate committee-on
foreign relations and has always tak-
en an active interest in the settlement
of pending disputes between this coun-
try and its northern neighbor. Mr.
Dingley, as a New Eng-lander, has been
called on again and again to deal with
the problems growing out of the regu-L.
lnation of trade and commerce across
the Canadian border ,as well as with
the intricacies of the deep sea fisher-
ies and international transportation
questions. Mr. Foster’s career as a
diplomatand as the head of the state
department, has put him in touch with
all the matters in dispute between the
government at Ottawa and Washing-
ton, while Mr. Kasson’s functions as.
the negotiator of reciprocity. treaties
under the Dingley tariff act, have like-
wise brought him into contact with
many or the controversies to be sub-
mitted to the joint high commission. It
is understood that the commissioners
will meet and organize about August 1.
The Canadian members were selected
by the Dominion government a month
or two ago.

GERMAN PRESS MORE FRIENDLY
Official of Foreign Office Declares Ameri-
can Suspicion: Are qununded.
Berlin, July 18.--The recent speech of
the United States ambassador, An-
drew D. White, is gradually having a . .
good effect. The tone of the German
press, with the exception of the rabid
anti-American shetts, has distinctly
changed. Many of the newspapers that
have hitherto been unfriendly are now
just the opposite.
'Mr. White’s Fourth of July oration
has also strengthened his position here.
I‘t'is' understood that he withdrawal of
some of the German warships from Ma-
nila was due to his pointing out that
the feeling of the Americans at such a
formidable array of German ships in
the‘vharbor was one of suspicion as to
the intentions of Germany.
An official of- the foreign office, ex-
plaining the attitude of the German
government, said: _ , ,
“The presence there of .our warships
Was solely dueto our desire to pro-
tect German interests in the Philippine
islands, which are too large for one or
two ships to protect in the event of
things going wrong, as the presence of
ships at various points at the same
[time might be necessary.
Ship Waterway from Lakes to Hudson.
Plattsburg, N. 1",, July 18.--Govern-
ment engineers and surveyors have ar-
rived at Champlain. Cli-nlton county, for
the preliminary survey of the propos-
ed great ship waterway between the
great lakes and the Hudson by way
' of the St. Lawrence river and Lake
Champlain. Appropriations for this
survey have been made by Congress,
and it is thought that the report of the
engineers will be favorable to this
route over-either the Erie or Oswego
canal routes, there being only five locks
and a comparatively short canal mile-
age between Lake Champlain and the
St. Lawrence and between Lake Cham-
plain and the Hudson.
The work now being done by the sur-
veyors consists of estimates on exca-
vations, locks and water supply. The
Champlain route is'recommended by
most of the leading engineers of the
country. It is expected that freight
rates from Buffalo, to New York can
be reduced to 25 cents a ton by this
route. .
Gold from the Klondike.
Victoria, B. C., July 18.—-The steamer
Cottage City, which touched here on
her way to Seattle, from Ala-ska, had
on board twenty miners from Dawson
City, with about $750,000 in gold dust
and drafts, mostly the latter. They
cvame up the Yukon 'river in a steam-
er to White Horse Rapids, where they
were transferred to a lake steamer.
They say that banking accommodations
in Dawson are now so good that there
is no necessity of men bringing out
money in any other form than drafts.
The most of the gold will come out by
way of St. Michaels.
The steamer City of Seattle arrived
here Saturday frOm Alaska with eigh-
‘teen miners, from Dawson and about
$500,000 in gold dust and drafts. She
brings news that he town of Skaguay
has been placed under martial law.
Car Shops Burned. p
Elizabeth, July 18.--Tlhe greater part
of the large repair shops of the Central
railroad of New Jersey at Elizabeth-
port .was destroyed by fire Saturday
afternoon. The fire started at 12.40
o’clock in the mill where wood is pre-
pared for repairing passenger cars, and
‘ the flames quickly, spread to the car-
penter Shop, passenger car repair shop,
blacksmith shop. foundry, freight car
repair shOp and pattern shop. In half
an hour only the round house, the paint
shop and the building containing the
offices, supply room and uphol-stering
department were intact. The loss will
be above $250,000.
