GENERAL WADE'S EXPEDITION. Preparations Go On Steadily as Though Peace Proposals Were Never Thought Of. Navy Department Officials Insist That the Watson Squadron Will Go to Europe, Regardless of the Termination of the War The Removal of Shatter's Troops. Washington, Aur. 5. There was an cxpectutlon at the state department tlint perhaps towards the colse of yes terday afternoon some word might be received from Spain through the French ambassador In reply to tho president's deliverance of Wednesday upon the subject of peace conditions. This ex pectation was based upon the fact that the terms themselves had not boon modified In any essential point, so that there was little occasion for pro longed discussion by the Spanish cab inet, which was presumed to have thor oughly considered this matter before renderlnK the flrst reply. However, It was perceived from the news dis patches that the Madrid cabinet moot ing had been Inconclusive, so It was then presumed nothing definite could be expected before today at the earliest. There Is a confident belief among the administration officials that the Spanish government will accept the terms laid down by the president, and that the delay of a day or two In rec ognizing the Inevitable Is to be ac counted for by reasons of Spanish In ternal politics, which would not coun tenance an unresisting submission without at least a display of a pur pose to Improve the terms. This, how ever, cannot be accomplished, and the French ambassador, who Is well aware of that fact, unquestionably has so Informed the Spanish government, though that government has preserved Its record In crood form to meet the criticism of Its polltlcnl opponents by cubnilttlng the counter proposition submitted by M. Cambon to the presi dent. Meanwhile preparations for the Wade expedition go on steadily, a number of general ofllcers being- yesterday or dered to nttach themselves thereto, among them General Randall, who was assigned only Wednesday to command the now artillery camp at Montauk Tolnt. Navy department officials also Insist that no change has been made In the orders to the Watson squadron. Indeed, there seems to be now evident a purpose to dispatch this fine squad ron to European waters regardless of the termination of the war, the Idea being that the splendid display which will ho made by the American ships will have a beneficial effect In Inspiring reBpect for our naval strength. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, of the nough Riders, has succeeded In hurry ing the movements of the war depart ment In fetching Shnfter's army away from Santiago, though In his disregard of the conventionalities he has drawn upon his head a rather shnrp rebuke from the secretary of war, who evi dently regards the course pursued by Colonel Roosevelt ns being calculated to Injure discipline, though Inspired by the most worthy motives. It Is only fair to state that the war depart ment for some time has been intent upon romovlng these troops, and It Is not more than a week ago that Gen eral Shafter was Instructed by a special cablegram to cheer up the soldiers by publicly Informing them of this de termination. It was rather a question of ways and means than of lack of intention to re deem this promise that caused delay. As far as the question of removing the troops back Into the mountains was concerned (the question which seenm to have precipitated an Indignation meeting among the American com manders at Santiago) It Is learned that the medical department made 110 such recommendation. All that It had to say on the subject was that If the troops must remain near Santiago an effort should he made to remove them at once to some healthier camping ground. Surgeon General Sternberg agrees thoroughly with the opinion ex pressed by the signers of the "round robin" at Santiago, that men who have suffered from the severe malarial fevers of the south Cuban coast, so far from being Immune against attacks of yellow fever, as has been asserted In sonio quarters, are actually In very tnuch greater dnnger than those who have escaped the malaria. Malarial fever, It Is stated, is no more protec tion against a subsequent attack of yellow fever than would bo a case of measles against smallpox, while the fearful debility resulting from malarial fever would certainly tend to make the victim an especial mark for yellow Jack. The department yesterday gave out a statement of Its resources In the way of transports at Santiago and, also, as an Incldtnt, directed attention to the fact that the troops cannot be with drawn as a whole until the Spanish prisoners are disposed of. Otherwise there in no ceitnluly that, finding them selves able to do so, the Spaniards would overpower their captors, repos sess themselves of Santiago and thus lose to the American army the small foothold In Cuba which It has cost bo much blood and money to secure. It Is, however, the expectation that all pf the American troops will have been removed from Santiago to the United States by the end of this month, and that Is probably the very best that can be done under the circumstances. ROOSEVELT REBUKED. Secretary Alger Declines to Endorse Ills Laudation of the Rough Riders at the Expense of tho Volunteers. Washington, Aug. C The following coriespondence bus passed between Col onel Roosevelt and Secretary Alger. Roosevelt writes from Santiago under date of July 23, ns follows: "We earnestly hope that you will send the cavalry division, Including the most of the regulars, and at any rate Rough Riders, who nre ns good as any regulars, and tluee times ns good as any state tioops, to Porto Rico. There are 1,800 effective men In this division. If those who nre left behind were Joined to them we could land at Porto Rico, In this cavnlry division, close to 4,000 men, who would be worth easily any 10,000 national guards armed with black powder Hprlngllelds or other nrchnlo weapons." The following reply was cabled to Colonel Ruosevolt: "The rcgulur army, the volunteer army and the Rough Riders havo done well, but I suggest that unless you want to spoil the effects and glory of your victory you make no invidious comparisons. The Rough Riders are no better than other volunteers. They had an advantage In their arms, for which they ought to be very gruteful." Tint llnttlo or Mmminllln. Washington, Aug. 6. The navy de pal tment has received full reports of the naval operations against Manznn lllo on July IS. They show that much more danage was done than Is gener ally understood. The reports specify no less than ten Spanish vessels burned, sunk or destroyed. The list as given Is ns follows: Gun vessels Maria Pon ton, Delgado Perado, Jose Garcia and Cuba Kspanol, burned; transport Gloria and merchant steamer Puiissl ma Conceptlone, sunk; ISstrella, Gunn tanamo, Guardian and Sentinel Delga do, destroyed.

Mr. Jamos raised a quostion as to whethei tho street committeo had sccuied a Icaso of tlio ground upon which tho pound has been located, and was Informod that tho lessors of tho land would not make a sub-lease of the laud, and Mr. Niswentcr said that If Council should Insist upon a sub-leaso tho pound had helter tie moved. In accordance with this sentiment Mr. Niswcnter moved that tho pound bo removed from its present location, but tnc motion was defeated. Mr. Strauglin stated that complaint had been made about tho condition of Plum alley. in tho vicinity of Oak street, where excava tions wore made somo timo ago foran electric light plant and, upon motion, it was decided that tlio alley lie placed in proper condition.

At this pressure four sections of hose bursted and from one section the coupling pulled off in tlio test, making 5 sections or 2."0 feet of hose, that did not stand tlio test. Four hundred and fifty feet of ho) was condemned without a test, because they were in very bad condition, making 700 feet of condemned hose altogether. Mr. Lowis, of tho Coal Company, made your committee an oiler of ?7!0 in full consideration for the use of the hose, and lor the hoso condemned. Your committee suggested $S00 as a better figure, inasmuch as tlio ilitlereuce of $50 will pay tho cost of testing such now hoso us you will bo required to purchase to tako the place of tho condemned. Your commfttee recom mends the purchaso of 1,100 feet of hose, two suction pipes and one branch pipe. 1 110 repoit was accepted and the recom mendations adopted. William II.
