Washington, July IK. —Alter three • lays of consultation between the President, Secretary Alger and IS en. Brooke, during which there was frequent communication with (Sen. Miles at Siboney, the details of the Porto Rico expedition were perfected and the expedition itself was gotten under way, (Sen. Miles, with some artillery and troops, sailing today for Porto ltieo nn the converted cruiser Vale, to he followed quickly by an army of about 30,000 men. It is estimated that General Miles should arrive by Wednesday night at the piiMt selected for the landing and the American Mag at Porto Riean soil. The point chosen for his landing is kept secret, as the General will land be fore the full body of the expedition is at hand, and il is consequently not desirable that the enemy should be able to assemble a superior force to meet him. A Marvelous Lecture. It was diflicult for the cultured audience that Imiig spellbound upon the eloquent words of John R.Clarke last I'riday night l>> realize when the end was reached that he had been speaking for nearly two hours. The interest was so unflagging, the splendid eloquence and magnetic force of the speaker was so marve lously sustained from start to finish that his hearers were unmindful of the lapse of time and were sorry when the last words were said. The subject of his lecture was "To and Fro iu London," in which he has devasted the field of fancy lor its outline.

Number II President Issues a Pronunciamento. Washington, July 18.—A state paper that will be historic was issued tonight by direction of President McKinley. It provides for the gov ernment of tlie province of Santiago de Cuba, and is the first document of its kind ever issued by a President of the United States. By order of Secretary Alger, Adjt. Gen. Cor bin cabled the document to Gen. Shatter in command of the military force at Santiago. The paper is an authori zation and Shatter for the government of captured territory and a proclamation to the people of the territory of the intentions of the government of the United States regarding them and their interests, it marks the formal establishment of a new political power in the island of Cuba and insures the people of the territory over which the power ex tends absolute security in the exer cise of their private rights and re lations, as well us security of their persons and property.

The course of lectures should he liberally patronized by our citizens generally who can thus show that the efforts of those in charge in building up a strong and successful school are appreciated. The course is a good one and is entitled to your patronage and support. Santiago is Now a City of Silence. The American Hag waves over the military headquarters, on Mono's flagstaff ami Red Cross emblems are as plentiful as the church spires. Almost the entire population are gathered about the wharves, where the Spanish ships valued at over $1,000,000, now prizes of the United States, will soon be augmented by a large fleet of transports flying the American colors. Some stores, mostly for the sale of liquor or drugs, are open, but their patrons are few. Beggers are in evidence of the sort that make Havana unpleasant for foreigners. Will Not Stand Any Interference. Manila, July M. The Germans continue to keep a l>ig fleet in Manila Bay. Admiral Dewey, displeased at their actions in stopping the insurg ents from an attempt to capture the .Spanish garrison; in Suhig Hay, sent word to the German Admiral, Von Diedrichs asking if Germany and America were at peace or at war. If at peace lie wanted the German ships to pursue a different course; if at war he wanted to know of its ex istence so that he could govern him self accordingly. Admiral Diedrichs lirst reply was satisfactory and he had an apologet ic tone. Latter he sent a note to Admiral Dewey saying that he ob jected to the Americans stopping (ierman ships which had once heen in the hay and had been visited. The German ships have made a practice of coining into Manila, fol lowing this with trips outside the bay, coasting about the islands, and finally returning after two or three days. The German contention is that the vessels should not be stop ped after the lirst time. Admiral Dewey replied that Ma nila was a blockaded port and he would continue having all ships commuuicated with when he desired whether the first or the hundredth time of entering. Aguinaldo has Established head quarters at Bakor. The insurgents continue to maintain their lines about Manila. There is a little Hir ing nightly, but no general engage ment.
