INFORMAL NOTICE TO THE POWERS. Special to KVKNINO IlKltALD. Washington, July 25. Commodore Wat son's Eastern squadron was under orders to sail for tho Spanish coast, but certain dovolop ments within tho past two or tlnuodays postponed tho sailing of Watson. Tho (lerman Ambassador at Washington culled on President McKlnloyon Friday and assured him of tho Intention of tho German goverment to remain strictly neutral, ami as a result of this the naval and army authort ties decided to abandon tho idea of sending a man-of-war and cruiser from Watson's squad ron to aid Dewey at Manila. Tho government, however, has not by any means abandoned tho sending of Watson and strong tleet to Spain's coast. On tho other band, it was given out by tbo department to day, that informal notice has been served on tho rowers that Commodoro Watson's squadron will surely sail unless Spain sues for peace, and that within a very short timo. This is tho reason for tho delay of tho squadron. Tho authorities say that tho political situ ation in Europo is more favorable to tho United States, and no Power will likely in terfere with tbo operations of Watson's ships Its first object will bo to destroy Spain's re maining lloct, and with that accomplished it is believed tho Madrid' government will quickly sue for peace.

It is further learned that tho entire Fifth Corps now at Santiago, will not go to Porto ltico, but us soon as tho Spanish prisoners aro well out of tho way toward Spain Gen. Shaftor and his men will be ordered back to tho United States, to some suitablo point, wboro they will recuporato for tho campaign against Havana. In order to rollovo tho regiments of tho Fifth Corps as soon as possiblo after tho Spanish prisoners havo been placed on tbo transports, General Coppingor has been or dered to solid three regiments from tho Fourth Corps, at Tampa, to Sautiago at onco.

They Will Be Hurried to Miles' Aid With' the Greatest Possible Dispatch General Shatter Sends a Cheering Report Regard ing the Condition of His Soldiers Shat ter Now Feeding Eleven Thousand Span ish Prisoners of War. Washington, July 25. It Is said at the war department that no iiowh can bo expected from uny ofllclul source as to General Miles' movements until this evenltiK at the earliest. It is calcu lated that lie arrived last night at the point on the coast of Porto ltico se lected as the rendezvous for all tho vessels of tho expedition. Whether or not he will undertake to make a land ing In advance of the arrival of the whole expedition will probably depend entirely uiion conditions as he finds thorn. Should theio be no Spanish force, or at least nn lnconsiderablo one on the coast, the troops will bo landed to rellovu them In,the disastrous effects of being; confined closely on shipboard under the tropical sun. The genoial has with him sulllclent artillery to hold any position lie may occupy, supplemented as this artillery will be by the suns of his naval con voy. Meanwhile tho department Is making every effort to hurry along the remainder of the expedition. Some troops are now on their way from Tampa and Charleslon, and should reach Porto Illco by the middle of the week. Naval olllclals are assisting ac tively In getting the troops off, and were engaged yesterday In sending the necessary orders to that end to the commanders of the ilaval auxiliary ves sels which have been placed at the service of the war department. In the course of a day or two the troops brought from Chlokamauga by General Hnioku will sail from Hampton Hoads, where they have been arilvlng all day and are ready for the transports. There Is a probability that General Miles may be delayed for several days In his landing operations for lack of lighters, but several of these are now on their way and others will be hurried forward bb rapidly as possible. How ever It "may be as to his speedy land ing on Porto ltico soil, It will be well ulong towards the end of this week before the active land campaign can bo begun In Porto Rico. General Shatter reported by cable yesterday that the condition of the troops at Santiago was rapidly Improv ing, and said he hoped In the course of a day or two to have them all lo cated In comfortable camps, where they my rest and recuperate and where the sick may recover. He Is feeding 11,000 of the Spanish prisoners of war, and although he has not yet been able to furnish them with tents, yet this deficiency Is being made good, and meanwhile their present condition Is no worse In this respect than was their condition before the surrender. The general makes no mention of the al leged letter from Gurcia to himself, nor does he speak of any friction be tween them, whence the department has come to doubt the authenticity of published stories on these subjects. In his report to the war department relative to the conditions at Santiago General Shatter has thrown some light upon tho difficulties lu which certain of the newspaper correspondents there have Involved themselves. From his report It would appear that, animated by an ambition to take a prominent art lu the Important events follow ing each other In rapid succession at Santiago after the Initiation of the ne gotiations for the surrender of tho city, a few of the correspondents wero guilty of crave breaches of military law, necessitating prompt corrective action by General Shaffer. Thus, for Instance, one correspondent, In his ef forts to take part In the (lag raising over the city hall, resisted tho mili tary officers In the execution of their duty, nnd oven attempted a personal assault upon the commanding general. This made him subject to summary and severe punishment, even death, yet General Shatter, probably realizing that Ignorance of military law was the explanation of tho action, contented himself with expelling the correspond dent from Cuba. A more serious offense, from the fact that It might easily have led to rioting and loss of life, was that of three other correspondents, who, It appears by General Shatter's report, by circulating lnllammatory reports, stirred up the town. They wero likewise deported, and as evidence that he has no personal III feeling towards the paper represent ed by them, but desires only to exer cise such control as Is Imperatively demanded In the Interest of safety of our troops and protection of the people under their care, General Shatter has declared that these correspondents may bo Immediately replaced by others by the same newspaper who will observe the rules of prudence. No mention is made of uny other cases requiring at tention, and It Is Indicated that the relations between the newspaper men nnd tho army of officers at Santiago are generally amicable and satisfactory. In a very dignified manner General Shatter tnkes notico of some of the severely critical newspaper articles that have appeared touching the condition of the troops before Rantlngo while they lay In trenches. He admits that there was a shortage of tobacco for a time, but shows conclusively that there was no lack of necessaries of life and that the troops were adequately sup plied with hard bread, bacon, sugar and coffee. With the week Just closed the United StuttH saw the end of the third month of tho war with Spain, and the re sponsible olllclals, from the piesldent down to the lowest employe who had to do with shaping the course of events, feel nothing but satisfaction at the pro gress made. An army of u quarter of u million of men has been mobilized, armed nnd equipped and much of It has seen service. Tho battles preceding tho capture of Smitlngo linve been remark able In muiiy respects, and In the opin ion of military experts have covered tho United States army ongaged with Imperishable glory.

London, July 25. A special Madrid de spatch says that the Spanish Cabinet is pre paring a mc3sago to President McKinley asking fur an armistice to discuss the terms of peace. Peace prospects hao greatly improved during the past forty-eight hours. Tho gov ernment's efforts are now entering a now phase, leading to direct negotiations with Washington. Tho pushing on of tho Porto ltico expedition and tho informal notification of tho Powers by the authorities at Washing ton that Watson will he sent to Spain's 6ea coast unless tho latter sues for peace, is re garded as a strong libit to Spam to hurry up the negotiations" The preparation for an armistice is the lesult.

The two juiiiiu nuiucii wore icinn ino carriage as tlio liorso plunged down tho road.

John Skalandzinnas appeared liefore Justice Shoemaker Saturday night as complainant against William Kawsuskls and tlio facts form a rather remarkable case, involving the deatli of a bahe through tho alleged act of a small child. Tne eouiplalnt made was that the piosecu tor's 1 1-inonth-old child was made ill hv the defendant's son pouring cold water over its head and down its hack, and that the illness resulted in deatli.
