General Miles heads the Way to Porto

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. I'll like most things of
which much is saitl in advance, it
measured beyond expectation and
reached a point of great interest and
excellency.

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. In sending it
to General Shatter, Gen. Cor bin in
l'oriiied him that it would he publish
ed in Kuglish and Spanish in such a
manner as to give it the widest cir
culation in the territory under bis
control.
Hon. lleury llouck Next iu the Normal
Course,
<>n Tuesday evening next the peo
ple of liUporle and vicinity will l>e
given an opportunity to hear Hon.
llenry llouck, Deputy State Snpt.
of Public Instruction. Mr. llouck
conies as the second lecturer in the
Normal School course ;nul should
have a full house.
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.
