Important Decision Arrived At by the Navy Departmeet and Based on the ter of the Cincinnati. A Board of 0111‘ cars Will Go to the Island. Washington, Sept. 22.—The navy de- paitment is preparing to establish a powerful naval station in the West Indies on one of the islands secured from Spain. It was at first thought that a. navy yard or some sort of sta- tion would be located in Porto Rico, but an examination of that island shows that there are no suitable places on its coast for even an anchorage for our vessels. . The Water at San Juan is quite shal- low and is not deep enough for a. bat— tleship. The coast at that point, alsoo, is exposed to the prevailing winds,s that it would be almost impossible to secure asafe harbor there. The bottom is mostly coral, and it would be a. hope- less task to attempt to dig a, channel sufficiently deep for our heavy draft warships. . ' The island of Calebra has been se- lected as a naval station, and as soon as it has been fitted up with guns and ammunition and a garrison statiOned the important Virgin Passage and will rival England as a controlling factor in the West Indies. Captain Chester of the Cincinnati was recently'ordered to make a. survey of this island and report to the de- partment on its value from a. strategic standpoint, and also in regard to its adaptability as a. naval station. Captain Chester's report is now at the department. It shows that the island of Culebra is one of the most impor- tant ofthe many bits of land that dot the South Atlantic and Caribbean seas. It is only a few miles directly east from Porto Rico, and, with St. Thomas. on the opposite side, guards the Virgin Passage. Captain Chester reports that Culebra has an ideal harbor, with a long, nar- row entrance, which is well protected by a reef which faces the channel for a-width' or one hundred yards The harbor possesses a depth- of 29 feet, whiCh is more than sufficient for the largest ships of our navy. ~_ Captain Chester states in his report ‘i whaticnlebrahas only about seven 111m- ' 'dr’ed inhabitants. and is one of the au- dest islands in that. region. At pres- is appointed by the governor of Porto Rico. - ’ The army of the isla Z«_i :,. :; consists Of ”two soldiers.

The department is .cOnsiIdering the ap- pointment of a board of officers to‘. pro.- ceed to the island and make a survey and report upon what will be needed to fit it up fer the reception or ships and to make It a. strong point of de- fence. ‘ ROUG‘H RlDERS AT WHITE HOUSE '1 Pra set] by His President for Their Work at Santiago. .. Washington Sept. 22. ——President Mc- Kinley yestetrday informally received a delegation of about a dozen members of the Roosevelt Rough Rider regiment. A majority of the delegation was from Each of the callers was presented in- dividually to the president: who, afte1 greeting them personally, spoke with earnest enthusiasm of the work of the regiment‘in the Santiago campaign. saying that he was pleased to have the opportunity on his own behalf and on behalf of the country at large to thank the regiment through he pres- ent delegation for the work it had done. “Your record is one," he said, “of which the entire nation is proud. I tell people who talk with me about the Rough Riders that you left the boats in squads of twenty or thirty, inquiring the way to Santiago, and that you hardly stopped until you arrived there. You have not only done well, but I have no doubt you will all be willing to again serve your country in an emer.— gency.’ The response was that they would be, to a man. “We want our colonel to raise a brigade instead of,a regiment next time," saidone of the youngest members of the party. The president also congratulated the soldiers upon their good fortune in se- curing competent officers to lead them and met with a hearty response in all that he said about Colonel Roosevelt and Generals Wood and Young.

Four hundred men sailed for Spain on the French steamer Chateau Lafitte. -- Eight hundred infantry, belonging to the Asturias Battalion, will sail to; -da.y on the steamer San Francisco. ' l The water front was crowded with thousands of people when the Spanish engineers marched to the wharf, where they were received by Captain General i Macias and General Ortega. The cap- tain general made no speech, but shook hands with the officers and men. There was no demonstration by the people. some Spanish field pieces are already 1 on board the San Francisco, but a. Nquestion has arisen in the commission concerning the disposition of some of the guns, and it was not settled when this dispatch was filed. , | The captain general has given no- tice to the Spanish troops to retire- res, and from Humacao, Guamani and Cayey. Our troops will occupy these towns when they are evacuated. Residents of Porto Rico and Ameri- Icans here are alarmed because Span- [ish ships returning from Cuba. stop at this port. They fear the introduc- tion of yellow fever into the island from [the Spanish steamer City of Cadiz, as some of her sick were too ill to pro- 'ceed and were brought ashore. Our commissioners will protest if there is" a repetition ‘ of this. I The volunteers have now all been dis_ banded and the Spanish soldiers are» dismantling armories' and barracks and boxing the guns and ammunition. "They rejoice over the prospect of an early return to their homes. , l Rear Admiral Schley has refused to I purchase the coal stored here, and it lmay be purchased for the use of the United States army. l HEAVY ARTILLERY FOR MANILA.

Maxim of New York, the Well known . expert on explosives, read a paper here ,IbeforeI the chemical _section of the Franklin Institute on “Modern High Explosives and Smokeless Powders and Their Ap’plidattons in Warfare.” Mr. Maxim maintained that it was a. crime for a nation not to seek the most .destructive weapons that could be se- cured and not to be always prepared for war. The more terrible _the weap- fans the less would be the loss of life, because war would not be so quickly 'precipitated. There would have been lno war with Spain, he contended, had git not been that the Madrid govern- 'ment and some other governments had firm belief in our unpreparedness. l Secretary Alger at Knoxville. j Knoxville, -Tenn., Sept. 22. —-Secretary .of War Alger, Surgeon General Stern< ‘berg and party arrived yesterday from Lexington 'and were met by a recep- tion committee.
