- Gen. Miles will come to "Washington Im
mediately to confer with the Administra
tion. Secretary Alger yesterday tele
graphed Gen. Miles to come North
-without delay. It was stated at the War
Department last night to a reporter for
The Times that Gen. Miles will be in the
city tomorrow or Saturday.
' Porto Rico Is the Spanish possession to
wards which the Government now is turn
ing Its attention, the Santiago invasion
expedition having after many vexing de
'lays started and being now. It Is thought,
,well on Its way.
The Administration, the "War and the
Kavy officials, all devoted considerable of
their time yesterday to the details of the
proposed movement. Most of the activ
ity was displayed at-the War Department,
and late in the afternoon there were
many hurried conferences between Secre
tary Alger, AdjL Gen. Corbin. Assistant
Secretary of "War Melklejohn, and the
juartermaster general.
Shortly after 4 o'clock Gen. Corbin slip
ped over to the White House and had a
conference with the President relative to
the progress made during the day.
It Is learned that the President told
the Secretary that he was of the opinion
that the movement should not be deferred
any longer. With the drawbacks that
characterized the embarkation and sailing
Of the Santiago expedition as a burning
oxample of the things that ought to be
avoided in the proposed expedition, the
President said that there was apparently
no reason why the second movement
should be delayed.
Gen. Miles will have direct charge
of the work of arranging- for the
departure of the troops and will, it is
asserted, go to the embarkation point
decided upon as a result of the recent
trip of a special commission to several
Southern coast cities. The War Depart
ment, according to the best obtainable
infomation, has not finally decided upon
the pert of embarkation, but It is believ
ed that It will be Fernandlna. Fla,, as
that point seemed the most favorable to
the recent commission.
The intention of the department is to
assemble a large army at the camp thus
selected. An effort will be made to send
only the best equipped regiments there.
By doing this much time will be gained
with less labor than would otherwise be
required to prepare an efficient army out
of Inexperienced and less thoroughly
equipped soldiers. Tampa will be called
upon to furnish the greater part of the
Port Rican army. Several brigades will
be sent from Camp Alger, many of the
volunteers at that place being superior
to some of the troops at Tampa
Gen. Miles, Gen. Coppinger. who will
lead the army, and Gen. Lee, who, it is
persistently stated, will also so to Porto
Rico, if only to be present and assist in
the assault of San Juan, will get things
in readiness between the present time
and the day of the departure of the ex
pedition, so that when the proper time
does come there will be no unnecessary
delay.
Assistant Secretary of War Meiklejohn
and the Quartermaster General of the
Army will have immediate charge of the
matter of securing the necessary trans
ports. Judging from the number required
to transport the Santiago expeditionary
forces about twenty or twenty-five ves
sels will probably be needed to convey
the troops to Porto Rico.
The hurried conferences between Mr.
Meiklejohn and Gen. Bird late yesterday
afternoon are believed to have been held
for the purpose of obtaining additional
steamers. At present there are only nine
available vessels. The official list of the
same furnished The Times after the con
ferences follows:
Steamers at New Orleans. Unionist,
and Specialist, chartered by the Govern
ment. They have been transferred from
the British to the American registry un
der authority of Congress.
At Fernandlna, Fla, (the probable
point of departure) Comanche, Louisiana
Gate City and the City of Macon. They
have been chartered and are being pre
pared for service.
At New York The Lampasas and the
Nueces, of the Mallory Line, chartered
this week and ordered South immediately:
the Arcada and the Catania, formerly
flying the British flag.
With only ten available vessels, at least
ten additional steamers will have to be
chartered by the Government for use in
the expedition. The prompt return of the
transports from Santiago would remove
the necessity for the purchase of more
vessels. It Is reliably stated, however,
that the Government is fitting out the
Porto Rican expedition entirely separate
and independent of any other expedition.
This is done to avoid any trouble in the
future, and especially in the case of any
sudden emergency that might require the
immediate dispatch of troops to Porto
Rico.
The fall of Santiago, wnether It be Im
mediate or delayed, will not be reckoned
with in the making up of the Porto Rican
army. If Santiago falls quickly, a por
tion of the more experienced troops who
have become acclimated will be withdrawn
from that place and sent to San Juan.
The expedition will. In mat case, be di
minished by the number of men with
drawn from Santiago, and the troops thus
withdrawn and those that sail from Flor
ida will form a juncture preparatory to
the attack upon San Juan. This juncture
will be made at sea somewhere off the
coast of Haiti.
The work I securing the transports
wHL therefore, have to (be begun immedi
ately. Gen. Miles is supposed to have the
army ready for them inside of two weeks'
time and the department does not want

through the brush and rank growth of cactus plants which here grow to great
size, also told upon them, and many of them were so exhausted that they dropped
to the ground unable to stand for another moment. Notwithstanding all these
drawbacks the marines drove the Spaniards back and forth oyer, the hill three
times.
Cubans Turned Loose.
Then the Cubans were turned loose upon the enemy to follow up the victory.
Those Americans who have decrled-the Cubans as fighters should-have .seen thl3
gallant little band of Insurgents. They had been dogs in leash. When the word
was given to let them slip they were off like a grayhound after a rabbit, and the
Spaniards fled In terror before them.
The incidents of the past few days In the vicinity of Calmancra have shown
that though the Spaniards will not hesitato to attack Americans, with whose
fighting qualities they are at yet scarcely familiar, they have a wholesome fear of
the Cubans who hold .them In the greatest contempt both as men and'fighters.
When the Cubans had been given permission to finish what was left of the
fleeing enemy the tired marines marched to a Spanish blockhouse on the side of a
hill.
A few Spanish soldiers who were stationed there made a feeble resistance. After
seven or eight of them had been killed the others cleared out and took, to the
bush as rapidly as possible. They were followed but the marines were too tired
to put much life Into the chase and the Spaniards escaped.
A Valuable Capture.
A number of rifles and several thousand rounds of ammunition were taken
from the blockhouse and the place was then set on fire.
Next the high water tank and windmill which pumped the water into,lt were
destroyed. The Cubans were yelling victoriously and following what was left of
the Spanish force, driving them back and forth over the hill and slaying them
remorselessly. Their bravery was phenomenal. Without the slightest fear of bul
lets they rushed with joyous cries to hand-to-hand encounters.
The Spaniards as they fled, panic-stricken before them cried: "Don't kill us,
brothers." "The Cubans answered these appeals with cries of "Viva Cuba Libre,"
"Viva los Americanos," and showed the same mercy to the Spaniard as would
have been shown to them had the condl tions been reversed. While the Ameri
cans were destroying the blockhouse, the tank, and windmill the Cubans rounded
up a lieutenant and seventeen Spanish privates. These were spared and compelled
to surrender.
The Victory Complete.
This practically completed the victory. The bush was beaten in all directions
for the enemy. A few were found who fo ught to the last and were killed or so
badly -wounded that they could resist no longer. Then,"-at about dark, the 'men
started back for the camp, almost comple tely exhausted, but Jubilant over their
victory. ? .,'..
Capt. Spicer was overcome by the heat and Lieut. Neville sprained h,is, .ankle.
Several of the privates were overcome by the heat. ., . ,,
The body of the Cuban who was killed, another Cuban vho waswounded and
the Spanish prisoners were taken to the shore, where the Dolphin sent boats for
them. She then brought them into the bay, where the prisoners were trans
ferred to the Marblehead. The captured arms, ammunition and heliograph out
fit were brought In by the men.
Cripples the Enemy. "" "
The destruction of the blockhouse and the capture of the heliograph are, ,very
important. By use of the latter. Spaniards had kept all the,,,Spanlsh army
fully informed as to the situation here and had twice sent for and received
re-enforcements. .. -- - -
- 'The captured lieutenant said he knew that sIxty-eigtif"orih,e",Spatiia'r'as were
killed and 200 wounded in the day's fighting. He thought that the total mfght be
twice or three times as many. This acknowledgment from a Spanish, oifioer is
taken to indicate that the losses were much larger than stated by him.
The lieutenant stated that Privates McColgan and Dunphy, who were found
dead Sunday, were killed by a Spanish sergeant and two privates. The men were
doing sentry duty, and the Spaniards sneaked up on them without being heard.
McColgan was shot in the head seventeen times and Dunphy fourteen. The pris
oner added that the men who did the killing were all killed today by the marines.
s
All AVnnt to Flfrht.
Every time shots are fired ashore the colliers in the bay hail the Marblehead
and plead for permission to send volunteers to take part in the fighting. Men from
all the vessels have been ashore every n Ight helping to guard' the camp. When
the news of the victory was received tonight the crew of the collier Sterling
cheered' the marines and shouted "You are avenging teMoineI" -.-. - -
There Is a shore battery at the Carnegie Smelting Company's' Tier1, 'eigh'fmlles
east of Santiago, where the troops now en route are expected to land, and this
will probably be destroyed tomorrow by a vessel of Admiral Sampson's fleet,
SpanlNh lie-enforcements Arrive,
New York, June 15. Advices from off Guantanamo to the' Sun by a second dl
patch boat, which left the scene of action Tuesday night, state that grave fears
were entertained in the camp of the marines of an attack last night by a superior
force of the enemy. A Spanish gunboat was seen three miles up the bay ferrying
trobps across. This was kept up all day.
The dispatch states that the officers and men complain bitterly that no re-enforcements
had been sent by Admiral Sampson. At 5 o'clock Col. Huntington
found that most of his marines were so exhausted by their days work In the
woods that he sent to the Marblehead, a sking that 150 jackies be sent on shore
to help guard the camp during the night. Commander McCalla immediately
compiled with his request and a number of the sailors on the Dolphin also volun
teered to come ashore. ""
A Cuban who reached camp reports that the Spanish are shipping soldiers by
train from Santiago supposing that all th e American troops are to be landed at
GUantanamo.
During Tuesday's expedition, eight men were brought back to camp prostrated
by the heat.. One marine went crazy fro m the heat and exhaustion.
All day the Spanish heliograph signal has been working from the little village
of Camos.at the head of the harbor seven miles distant and through glasses can
be seen Spanish gunboats, a torpedo boa t and four launches making frequent
trips about the harbor. The enemy are .probably strengthening their forces in the
neighborhood.

With the sailing of the second expedi
tion from San Francisco, G,000 troops are
on their way to the Philippines.
Three thousand men sailed yesterday
and 2,700 men left on the lirst movtient
on the steamers. City of Sydney, the City
of Pckin and the City of Australia.
Tho statement was made at the War
DenartmenL and It is believed to be

the flrst nor the. second expeditions will
stop any length of time at either the
Ladrone or the Caroline Islands, but that
the third expedition, of which Maj. Gen.
Merritt will have direct command, will
stop at both places and invest them.
After planting, the. American flag, it is
stated that he will sail on to Manila, and,
with 20,000 men, begin the task assigned
to him of establishing a permanent form
of government.
The reason assigned for tho above ar
rangement is the need of having a large
body of American regulars at Manila as
soon as possible to meet any emergency.
The C,000 troops eprannsng the first and
second expeditions will. It is thought, be
sufficient for this purpose, and it is be
lieved that they can hold the Philippines
until Gen. Merritt Ins finished with the
Carolines and the Badrones.
Fourteen thousand men remain to be
sent with the next and subsequent expe
ditions. When Grin. Merritt arrives with
them in Manfta"ami Joins the troops sent
ahead on the .first, and with the present
expedition he will' nave an army of 20,003
men. consisting of all branches of the
service. He will have both regulars and
volunteers. (
The first expedition should arrive at
Manila Inside of ' seven days. It was
reported ssvera days out from Honolulu
more than a week1 ago, and, barring ac
cident, should arrive at its destination
very soon
The second, expedition Is expected to
make the trip in three weeks, so that by
July 4, or shortly after that date, it
should arrlveat Manila. "
Tho third expedition is not ready yet
and cannot ppsiibly get away before
June 25. n ,r. v
It is probaftle 'that the transport ships
on the Pacific coast will be ready by that
date. Gen. Merritt has got his men into
shape, and could: embark with his entire
army tomorrow If he had the transports.
The War Department has been remark
ably successful in obtaining steamers on
the Paciiic, but the delay has been oc
casioned in fitting them out for the long
trip before them. Ten days will be re
quired to get the fUet in proper shape.

Washington from a suggestion of
Miss Elizabeth Ross, upholsterer, better
known as Betsy Ross. The return of the
day brings back recollections of the in
teresting Quakeress runaway bride of the
Griscom family, who, according to the
strict discipline of the Society of Friends,
naturally preferred that their daughter's
husband should belong to the tame faith
as they did. After marrying John Ross
Betsy became a communicant of Christ
Church, on Second Street, above Market.

brass plate in position to show that it

Ba.sy Ross had two children by her
second husband, Joseph Ashburn Zillah,
who died in infancy, and Eliza, who mar
