THEVEYENING oAz'n'r’rn mammalian Gen. Miles ‘Leading the Expedition Embarked Yesterday. OTHER TROOPS READY TO G0 The First Embarkation Has Left Siboney. It Consisted of Four Batteries and a Few Troops. 'l‘wo Brigades at Charles- ton Are Ready to Start. About 25,000 In All Will Be Sent to Porto Riemas ' Soon as Transports Can Be Secured. Washington, D. C., July 19.--At three o’clock yesterday afternoon it was an- nounced that the Porto Ric-tn expedi- tion had started on its mission to cap- ture that island. General Miles, leading the Porto Ri— can expedition, left Siboney, Cuba, yes- - terday on the Yale, with four batteries of artillery and a few seasoned troops. Two brigades now at Charleston em- barked yesterday on transports to take them »to Porto Rico. All the force at Tampa, 13,000 strong, embracing artillery, will be put aboard ships as rapidly as transports can be gotten there and sent to reinforce our other troops. General Brooke will take the first. and second divisions of his corps from Chickamauga. to Porto Rico. General Brooke left here yesterday afternoon for Chickamauga to get his troops star- ted. It is said that the whole expedi- tion will be under way within the next four days. It has been decided to retain General Shvafter’s brigade at Santiago for an indefinite period. Washington, July 19.--T-he discussion of plans for the Porto Rican expedition engaged the attention of the war de- partment officials yesterday. An unOfflci-al list of the troops to be sent on this expedition has been com- A piled. It includes the following regulars, the Fifth cavalry, eight heavy batteries fand two light batteries of General Sny- der’s division. These troops are at Tampa waiting for transports. It is possible that ad- ditional regiments from General Sny- der’s division may be included in the force to be sent to San Juan and an effort is being made to~ have the Sec- ond New York volunteers now at Tam- pa detailed for this duty. General Rogers of General Miles’s staff is organizing the artillery troops at Ybor City, Fla. He will direct the operations of the field and siege guns that will be brought into use at San Juan. He is regarded as'one of the finest artillery experts in the army and was personally chosen by General Miles to be a. member of the latter’s staff. GEN. NELSON A. MILES. All of the New York regiment of vol- unteers are anxious to be called on for service at Porto Rico, and yesterday morning a strong petition was received by the war department from the Sixty- ninth regiment at Tampa, the Irish regimen-t, asking that it be included in the next invading army. While a. positive selection has not yet been made, it is understood that Newport News will be the port of de- parture of the larger part of the ex- pedition. . The army- of occupation is expected to consist of an adequate force, as it has been decided to take no chances at repeating the mistake made at San- tiago of landing with an insufficient force and then being obliged to lie idle at a. critical moment awaiting rein- forcements. It is thought that at least 25,000 men will be sent forward as rap- idly as necessary transports can be pro- cured. In order that there may be no delay in supplying subsistence stores for the Porto Rico campaign, Commissary General Eagan is having prepared ad- vertisements inviting proposals from «the largest beef concerns for supplying stated quantities of this article of diet _‘ 2 at a certain place in the island subject to the order of the general command- ing. Very recently General Eagan awarded contracts for supplying the ar- my at Santiago with refrigerated beef. and it is expected that the advertise- ments for Porto R'ico will follow the same general lines. The contract will be a big one, as it is the policy of the department to keep the army as well supplied as practicable with refriger- ated beef. Fever Cases Do Not Exceed 300. Washington, July 19.--A dispatch has been received stating that the entire number of fever cases up to the time of sending the dispatch, did not ex- ceed 300. This lowers the estimate by one-half from that given in press dis- patches, and was a source of satisfac- tion to the authorities. Colonel Alden, acting surgeon general, says the situa- tion is much less serious than would appear at first glance, for while the aggregate of 300 seems large, it is rela- tively small when «it is remembered there are 25,000 troops at the front. No Report from Sampson. Washington, D. C., July 19.--Admiral Sampson’s report‘ on the destruction of the Cervera. squadron has not reached the navy department, although it is now more than two weeks since that famous naval fight occurred- The re- port is on its way, however, by one of the auxiliary craft, and will be on hand within the next few days. lN airline Ara Commodore Schley Takes a Look at Ports and Batteries. .ulIO-RRO CASTLE N O‘DEFENSE Lieutenants Robson and Palmer first to Enter After the Spanish Flag Was Hauled Down. in the Harbor. Commodore Schley Thinks the American Fleet Might Have Entered, Without the Loss ofa Single Ship. Under Morro Castle, Harbor of San- tiago de Cuba, July 18.--Art exactly nine o'clock yesterday morning the Spanish flag was lowered from the staff crown- ing the heights upon which stands bat- tered Morro Castle. The ceremony was witnessed by a few Spanish and Ameri- can ‘tro-ops on shore, and by the Brook- lyn, New York. Vixen and Vesuvius, lying within a few hundred yards of the harbor entrance. . Almost immediately after the flag was hauled 'down, steam launches, commanded by hie‘utena-nts Hobson and Palmer, entered tht harbor, pene- trating as far as the firing station of the submarine mines. These mines were judged to be not as formidable as expected, and, later in the afternoon, they were all exploded under the su- pervision of the Vixen. It was seen that two .mlnes had been exploded at the time of the entrance of the Merrimac into the channel of Santiago harbor, but it is not thought probable that either of them had any- thing to do with the sinking of the craft. . S‘lx or seven fine steamers in the har- bor fall as prizes to the army and navy. The Spanish gunboat Alvarez had already been taken possession of by a prize crew from the New York. The other vessels lie at the other end of the harbor, at Santiago proper. Soon after noon, Commodore Schley, with Captain Cook of the Brooklyn, Lieutenant J. H. Sears, the flag lieu- tenant, Lieutenant B. W. Wells, the fiag secretary, and three newspaper men, Went into the harbor on a. steam launch, which moved slowly, in order to make close observation of the Span- lsh forts and batteries. Every ‘one ex— pressed satisfaction at the fact that Morro Castle was nor. demolished by the bombardment, Captain. Cook say- lng: “We need El Morro as an object lesson, and America is rather shy on ruins, anyhow.” The old fort stands on the bluff, ter- race fashion. From the water’s edge to the brow of the cliff there are huge caves formed by the action of the waves, and round the base and in the superstructure are not a few caves made by the navy’s projectiles. It would appear, however, that only one bastion was knocked to pieces, while the queer little- sentry'boxes, dating back to. the sixteenth centuryyescaped almost intact. Morro Castle is the only imposing fortification in the harbor, and it is only so in appearance, since not a gun is mounted within or onthe crumbled walls. In fact, all the batter- les, masked and open, dwindled in their terror-inspiring qualities as the inspec- tion grew closer. Crowning the hill on the west side of the entrance were the famous six- lnch rapid fire guns from the Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes. These were ugly looking and dangerous, while be- low, on brick foundations on the west- ern shore of the entrance, were some revolving guns. These were the ones which poured such a bitter fire into the Merrimac. Directly east of Mom Castle, on the, crest of the plateau-like cliff, were six big guns, one or two of which were dismounted. The Estrella battery and a. small battery further in showed no guns. All the houses near the harbor were deserted, and, strange to say, not one, ipparently, had been touched by a hos- tile projectile. On the inside of the slope and hill to the westward some hastily construct- ed casemates were seen, into which the Spanish gunners were wont to retire when our ships opened fire. When the firing ceased the gunners only had a few steps to climb to their six-inch rapid fire guns, which almost always fired a few farewell shots. At Punta Gorda there were two four- inch guns, one above the other, and neither protected by even sand or earth. These commanded the harbor entrance pretty . well, but they could have been silenced by one well directed heavy shell. Commodore Schley has over and over again expressed the belief that our fleet could probably have entered the harbor without the loss of a. single ship. The mines might have stopped ingress by sinking the lead-ing ship, but this Is a chance of war, and not so grave as many taken during the civil war, nor as serious as would have been the situation had there been good batteries, properly managed, in the harbor. A PRISON FOR ZOLA. He and Editor Perreux Sentenced to One Year Each and to Pay Heavy Fines. Paris, July 19.--The second trial of M. Emile Zola and M. Perreaux, manager of the Aurore, upon charges of defam- ' ing the army, was concluded yesterday in the Versailles assizes. M. Labori, .counsel for M. Zola, protested against the officers, of the Dreyfus court mar- civil capacity, but the court overruled the protest. The defendants were found guilty and sentenced to one year’s imprisonment each. They were also condemned -to pay a fine of 3,000 francs each, together with the costs. Turbulence in Spain. Madrid, July 19.--The increase in the octroi rates, or duties on produce taken into the towns, is causing turbulence in the rural districts of Spain. The populace of the province of Huelva has rebelled against the imports of corn and flour, and attacked and set fire to a. number of public buildings. The troops had to be called on to re-“' press the disorder. .advocates a military dictatorship, and r the Republicans are endeavo‘ring to se- cure the support of the army and navy lfor this purpose. ‘ ~ - . ”n.1,, A Half Dozen Prizes tial being allowed to prosecute in a. ~ The Pals, organ of the Republicans, ~irrE EXCELLENCE 0E SYRUP or ms is due not only to die originality and simplicity of the combination, but also to the care and skill with which it is manufactured by scientific processes known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co. only, and we wish to impress upon all the importance of purchasing the true and original remedy.
