M EE riNGOF THE POLICE BOARD.
All the Police. Commissioners were
j present ut the meeting held last night.
The Mayor presided, and the proceed?
ing were onducled behind closed
I dors.
j The secretary read Chief Webster's
report of the operations of the police
force since the last meeting of the com
I missiouers. Mention was made in the
report of the examination of the charges
against Officers Wilkinson and Proctor
for failure to respond to Lieutenant
Smith's whistle in the night time sev?
eral weeks ago and their exoneration
by the mayor from the charge ; also
theacliou of the mayor in suspending
Lieutenant Smith for fifteen days for
alleged dereliction of duty on the night
of the 20ih instant.
Mr. Price, commissioner from the
second ward, asked the mayor a num?
ber of questions regarding the suspen?
sion of the lieutenant. He said the
whole affair looked to him as a put-up
job, and was, he thought.the outcome of
prejudice. He said there was too much
importance giveu to tale-bearing of?
ficers, who, be assumed, were ever
ready to circulate evil reports against
those with whom they were associated.
Mr. Price said under the former admin?
istration it had been charged that
the mayor manifested too much
d?ference to the Chief of Police. The
same reflection could be made now
when ready ears took in what some
officious and meddlesome officers car?
ried to the executive.
Mayor Simpson indignantly denied
the imputation that he allowed any one
to intluence him in his actions.
Mr. Prico asked upon whose author?
ity Officers Kuight and Bettis were
kept on one square two hours in the
right time "spotting" the lieutenant,
while the remainder of the Second ward
was left unguarded.
The mayor replied by eayiug he as
.-utned the responsibility. He bad vis?
ited the station house, was uuable to
find the lieutenant and started on a
personal search for him. He subse?
quently detailed the officers to ascer?
tain his whereabouts.
Mr. Prico then referred to the case of
the two officers Lieutenant Smith was
unable to find on their beats in the
night time; also to the two the lieuten?
ant found asleep previously.
The mayor said the latter had gotten
od very easily considering the gravity
of their oflense.
Mr. Price then called attention to the
fact that when two officers were sus?
pended by the gentleman who previ?
ously filled the position of mayor
for insubordination and contempt'
the board was anxieus and ready to re?
view hi-i action aud an etnbroglio was
precipitated which had co>t the city sev?
eral hundred dollars. No such dispo?
sition was manifest in this ca-e.
The Mayor said that the cases under
discussion were not aualagou3. In
ooe instance, that of Sergeant Smith
and Odicer Ferguson, the men insi.-tcd
upon going before the commissioners,
but the previous Mayor had decliued
to grant their request; on the other
hand he, the Mayor, had invited Lieut.
Smith to take his case before the com?
missioners, but the lieutenant had de?
clined to do so, though he still had the
right to appeal his caso.
Some of the commissioners maintained
that the gentleman in the Mayor's chair
at the time brought on all the trouble
by denying the right of the board to re?
view his action and set aside his ver?
dict.
Mayor Simpson said bo far as the
several hundred dollurs were concern?
ed, since his incumbency he had savui
the city more thau that.
The colloquy continued for a shor;
while longer, and the report of the
chief and the action of the Mayor was
adopted. The Mayor informed Mr.
Price that the Jieutauent could api e :1
his ca'e to the board.
It was agreed by the other commis?
sioners that the board had no power to
suspend; that the only action they could
take would be dismissal.
The mayor subsequently suggested
Certain changes pertaining to the rou
tine of the police work. The rules
were changed, directing that the officer
in charge of the men and station at
n gut shall make at least two rounds of
i speciion during the night, and when
not on such rounds he shall remain at
the station. When such officer leaves
the station he shall give the station
master the route he proposes to travel,
so that he cau be called at at.; time
should any matters require his immedi
ate attention at the station. Power wbs
conferred upon the mayor by the board
to change the squads oftener than bi?
monthly should circumstances, in bis
discretion, demand such a change.
The board adjourned about nine
o'clock.

First Division, intends to visit the site
of the new camp at Manassas this morn
iug, to choose a site for bis division,

er the neighborhood of Manassas is to
be made a permanent camp site or
whether the troops finally will go to
some other point.

moved for at least a week, owing to the
i large number of patients and lack of

FOR PORTO RICO.
A large army is to be forwarded to
Porto Rico at once in addition to the
troops already there under Gen. Miles.
The War Department made official
announcement yesterday of its purpose
to increase the Porto Rican expedition
by 18 more regimeuts, comprising at
le ist 20,000 men, which, with the sol?
diers in the first expedition, will give to
Gen. Miles a command of about 40,000
troops.
Gen. Wade, who has come to Wash?
ington to confer with officials relative
to the departure of the troops, is to
cummaud the entire expeditionary
force. Among tbe regimeuts selected
to go with him is the Third Virginia,
which will be brigaded with the First
New Jerst-y and First West Virginia,
forming the Fourth Brigade.
Gen. Wade is making every effort
with the departments here to secure the
departure of his men at the earlie.-i,.
practicable moment. Ho is anxious to
get the regiments to the front before an
armistice is d< dared.
Secretary Alger has yielded, it is said,
by those who are opposed to so large
ao army being sent to capture a com?
paratively small lot of Spaniards, in
oider to ttive nearly all the States an
opportunity to have men r,t the front
before the war ends, wnother it be for
actual fighting or simply to get in the
country of the enemy.
To support, transport and return the
command of Gen. Wade will cost the
government, a careful estimate shows,
not less than fifteen million dollars,
and perhaps more.
Gen. Wade is to leave from Newport
News, from which place most of his
command will sail on tha arrival of the
required number of transports.
