Wasuincron, June 14.—Maj Fitzhugh Lee's corps fr y not go to Porto Ri The prov 1 division Gen of the Fifth corps, formed at Tampa by Gen. Shafter when he expected to take 26,000 men to Santiago, is to be utilized, with some additions from the Porto Rico movement. This body, composed of volunteers, numbers about 10,000 men. Under the re- arrangement of plans the war ‘oard is considering the advisa bility of having Gen. Fitzhugh Lee remain here and get ready for the main Cuban invasion rather than take his corps to Porto Rico. This accords with Gen. Lee's views of the duties in which he can render most eflicient service.. The proposition before the war board is that Gen. Lee shall pro- ceed at once to organize from the vol unteers best prepared for field serv- ice a force of 40,000, to be in readi- ness to go to:Cuba after the Santiago expedition has done its work and T’orto Rico has been occupied. The destina- tion of the 40,000 will be a point on the north coast of Cuba, whence opera- tions against Havana can be under- taken. No time is set for the main in- vasion, butethe war board believes it igs time to begin to get the army in shape for it, and this suggestion to have Gen., Lee undertake active prepa- rations atsonce has met with consider- able favon ‘che Work at Camp Alger.
