PORTO RICAN EXPEDITION Se Secretary Alger officially informed the President and cabinet today of the arrival of Gen. Shafter's expedition at Santiago. The Secretary said he had received a tele- gram about midnight last night announe- ing the safe arrival of the expedition and the fact that Gen. “Shafter and Admiral Sampson were in consultation. Up to the time the cabinet adjourned no news had been received of a landing being ade or attempted, and there was no in- formation beyond the arrival of the fleet. ‘The cabinet does not expect that Gen. Shaf- ter will hurry the disembarkation of his expedition. He will put everything in read- iness before this is dene, and will use no haste which may endanger his scldiers. No News From the Philippine It is stated that no official news was received today from the Pbilippines. The cabinet shares the general belief that the Charleston and tirst expedition arrived at Manil sterday and that Maniia may now have succumbed to the inevitable. It is believed that had the Spaniards given an intimation of their willingness to surrender, Admiral Dewey would have advised them to postpone this until the arrival of the first expedition. The American commander will then be able to help the sick and wounded out of supplies which the Charles- ton’ and other ships carried. It is said by a cabinet member that there is no indication that Germany or al country int Philippin All the information r by this government is to the contrary. There is more to fear from the insurgents than frem interference of Europe. The ad- minisiration is glad, however, that Aguin- aldo appears to be willing to work under Ame n authority and is not disposed to make trouble of any kind. If he assumes a different attitude after this it will be a surprise, as all the official and public in- formation in the hands of the administra- inaldo will interpose no occupation, hoping i turn out all right for that everything w him lat ‘cements for Santiago. tion was made in the cabinet « of the expedition to Porto Rico or tional troops to Santiago.

Secretary Alger of course declines to give th> number of these reinforsements, but there will probably be eight or ten thousand. By the time they get theré Gen. Shafter probably have captured Santi- ago. It will thus be seen that thay can not be used in the actual fighting which wili take place around that section of the island. It is apparently the purpose, it is said, to use them in the expedition against Porto Rico. It is now probable that the ex- pedi to Porto Rico will go largely from Santia first mentioned in The Star. After the capture of Santiago only a small feree of Americans will be left to hold what has been captured. These, with the ans, will b2 able to do the work. Some to Go to Porto Rico.

Hearing on the Proposed Hotel on 16th Street. District Commissioners today gave ng in the matier of the application - Alonzo O. Bliss for a permit to erect on 16th strect near K a hotei building, 110 feet in height. Dr. Bliss, it will be recalled, was notified by the Commissioners last week that. as the street is a resident one, they would have to reject the application, the building regulations, as they explained, prohibiting the erection of a building on a r ‘nt street of a_greater height than nety feet. s hearing Dr. Bliss was present attorney, Mr. A. 8, Worthington, and exhibited the p ns of the proposed building, explaining that it is designed to make it a family hotel of fireproof con- siruction, handsomely decorated, on the lorf-Astoria Hotel. Commissioners greatly admired the but Commissioner Wight explained . unfortunately for the enterprise, the building regulatior very explicit in the matter. He read section 40 of the reg- ations, which provides that in no case shall a building exceed ninety feet in height on a resident street, nor 110 feet on a busi. ness sireet, as defined in the regulations except on avenues 100 feet wide, where a height not exceeding 130 feet may be al- lowed, when the lot is of sufficient frontage and depth, in the judgment of the Commis- sioners, to Sustify the same. Just there Mr. Worthington made the point that the proviso, “except on avenues 16) feet wide,” fully warranted the Com- missioners in granting the application made The word “avenues,” he con- ns a thoroughfare in the con- tion in which it is used in the building ulations, whether that thoroughfare to be designated in street nomen- A avenue or street. And when Mr. called his atention to the fact that h street is particularly designated as a 3 | resident street in the building regulations, Mr. Worthington argued that the proviso excepting avenues 160 feet wide fails to ation the qualifying terms “resident” or Therefore, he asserted, jf the thoroughfare be 160 feet in width, a build- ing of more than ninety feet in height can be erected on it, whether it be a resident street or not. ; Mr. Wight remarked that the Commis- sioners, who framed the regulations, it ap- peared to him, are the best judges of what the regulations mean, to which Mr. Worth- ington replied that he could not so agree, he being of the opinien that the courts are the proper authorities in such matters.

Would Rather See Cuba Sunk in an Abyss Than Have Ameri- ean Rule. HAVANA, June 21.—Senor Galvez, presi- dent of the colonial cabinet, has closed the debates in the chamber with a message to the deputies, in which he repeated that he did not wish to see autonomy established for Cubans or for Spaniards, but for all the inhabitants of the Island of Cuba. Continuing, the president paid a tribute to the efforts of Capt. Gen. Blanco under the existing circumstances, and pointed out that the public offices had been divided between Cubans and Spaniards. He con- cluded by saying: “Let the sky fall flat and sink us in an abyss before the daring foreign invaders’ foot tramples on Spanish soil.’” These words of Senor Galvez were warm- ly applauded by the deputies and others assembled in the hall. Approved by Cuban Congress. The Cuban congress then approved the address in reply to the president's message and to the message of the captain generai, ané the address was delivered to the cap- tain general by the president of the co- lonial cabinet and three deputies. On Friday morning last the United States battle ship Texas, it is announced, en- deavored to cover the landing of an Amer- ican force at Punta Cabrera, province of Santiago de Cuba, but, the official report adds, the Americans were repulsed by the Spanish troops under Col. Aldea, with the loss of several men. The firing, it is fur- ther asserted, lasted half an hour. It is announced at the palace that a Span- ish guerrilla force has been engaged with a body of insurgents near the railroad at Dagame, province of Havana. The insur- gerts, it appears, exploded a dynamite bomb, and the guerrillas captured another and similar bomb before it could be ex- ploded, after which the insurgents are said to have retired with losses. The Spaniards had three men wounded. Another Palnce Announcement. Another palace announcement sets forth that six Spanish sailors recently surprised an American camp near Cayo Picdra, not far from Cardenas, province of Matanzas, capturing “kitchen utensils and provi- siors.” But it seems “other Americans ap- peared, fired on the Spaniards and pursued them until they reached the Spanish gun- boat Diego, which was stcuck by a Mauser bullet.” ——————— PATENT OFFICE CLERKS, Looking for a Place to Put the Pro- posed Additional Force. The chief clerk of the Interior Depart- ment, Mr. Dawson, who under the law is also superintendent of the buildings occu- pied by the department, is considering now the problem of what disposition shall be made of the additional force provided for the patent office in the pending deficiency bill. There is no doubt that there is plenty of work awaiting these new assistants as soon as they are appointed, and on account of the genuine necessity which exists for the employment of an extra force there is no doub: rtained that the clause in the deficiency biil will be there when the mea ure becomes a law. Exactly where to put these fifty clerks authorized is, as stated, a question. The rooms occupied by the patent office in the Interior Department building are already overcrowded, but from the present outlook it is believed that more clerks will have to be squeezed into the rooms, and also it is likely that something ace in the portion of the Union building, on G street near 7th street, which is now occu- pied by models of the patent office. it is thought that the cases containing the models can be jammed into smaller space than is now taken, and in that way a place can be found for a part of the patent cfhce force. When what is known as the new city post office building, at the south- west corner of Pennsylyania avenue and Jith street, is finished, and when the Post Office Department vacates its present build- ing on F street and takes possession of this new building, as required by law, then ut der the same authority the interior Depa ment will mi building. te ve into the present post office It is expected there will be elbow room in both buildings for the employes of | the Interior Department, an experience which has not been enjoyed for a good many years. At the same time the sani. tary conditions will be improved, which is a consideration that is by no means unim- portant, especially from the standpoint of the employes. ——___-e-—..

It Has Raised the Expectation of Civilized War Methods Among Our Men, However, es Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, June 21—A Kingston, J: maica, letter of June 10 says: “There is rewnarkable enthusiasm in this English col- ony for Americans. News of the progress of efforts toward an Anglo-American alli- ance is read and commented upon with even more interest than descriptions of bat- tles, and few things are more relished by Englishmen than descriptions of battles. Such partisans are they that they are less willing than we to concede to the Spanish the possession of a virtue. “These pretenses of fine feelings,” they. say cynically, ‘which the Spaniards are making in their treatment of captured cor- respondents and in sending messages of admiration to the American fleet are mere plays, theatrical efforts to create the im- pression that they are not the kind of men to use the cruel methods of war attributed to them.” I have come across but one Britisher whose views are less pro-Amer- ican, and he is a Scot, but one who has served in the American navy as engineer on the old Iroquois. In the American fleet off Santiago one cannot help observing that Admiral Cer- vera’s amiable and complimentary com- munication to Rear Admiral Sampson has produced an effect, and the officers take it and other things as signs that our soldiers need not fear to be treated with the harsh- ness that has marked Spanish dealings with insurgents. There is a saying, repeated to every re- crult as he leaves the peninsula, that “all decent Cubans live in the cities, those in the country are niggers and outlaws,” and it has been under that impression (insur- gents being mostly from the provinces) that Spain’s troops in Cuba have operated. Now her army and navy are fighting what they apparently look upon as worthier foe- men, and will conduct themselyed accord- ingly. This, at any rate, 1s what is ex- pected among American combatants, but it seems idle to suppose, from the temper one finds in Jamaica, that our new friends, the English, will be willing to share it. ——— RUSSIA IN THE EAST. Port Arthur and Talien Wan Leased for Twenty-Five Years. The formal orders and proclamations through which has been effected the re- cently considerable changes in the east are published in the advanced sheets of the consular reports today. Prominent amcng the decuments is a protocol be- tween Russia and Japan which governs the attitude of each of these countries toward Korea. By itg terms Russia and Japan bind themselves to refrain from direct in- terference with the domestic government of Korea, whose sovereignty and co plete independence is recognized. ‘To avoid future misunderstandings each coun- try agrees to refrain from taking any steps toward appointing military instruct- ors or financial advisors for Korea without previous consultation. Russia’ specifically binds herself not to injure the develop- ment of Japan's commercial and industrial relations with Korea. Two proclamations were required to ef- fect the delivery of Port Arthur and ‘alien Wan by China to Russia: The first is by ; the Chinese General Sung, directed to the inhabitants, warning them that the with- drawal of his troops must not cause alarm; that henceforth Port Arthur and Talien Wan will be open ports and will daily in- crease in prosperity, fhe proclamation by the Russian admiral announces that Port Arthur and Talien Wan have been leased by Russia for twenty-five years “to main- tain reiation of friendship between the two ccuntries.” He also announces that mer chants and traders will be allowed to pur- sue their callings without interruption. val Orders and Appointments.

Soldiers at Camp Alger Eager to Get Away. OFFICERS WITHOUT RELIABLE DATA Trouble Again Arises Over Man- agement of Hospitals. GENERAL NOTES OF CAMP Spectal Correspondence of The Evening Star. CAMP ALGER, Va., June 21, 1898. Everything gives way in the 2d Army Corps to the discussion of a possible move- ment of the several regiments on duty at Camp Alger. Each circumstance that could possibly be perverted into an indication of importance is seized upon and discussed eagerly. Officers and enlisted men are all equally anxious that their respective regi- ments shall be the first selected to go to the front, and any one of them can cite in- numerable reasons why their commands should be the first selected. At headquarters the aids and employes assert with tears in their eyes that they know nothing of a rumored movement ex- cept what they read in the newspapers. They insist that all information must come first from the War Department, and they profess to attach no significance to any re- port that has so far appeared in print. The story that some of the troops now in camp here are to go to Fernandina is most ridi- culed. Wherever else the men may go, say the officials, it is nct likely that the govern- mert will send them to a new camp in Florida as long as there is room at Tampa for twice the number said to have been ordered away from Falls Church. Some things done at corps headquarters would seem to indicate that this statement of the situation was not altogether correct. The Star announced several days ago that instructions had been issued to equip cer- tain regiments as rapidly as possible, and these regiments were at the same time minutely inspected in order that it might be learned exactly what was needed to com- plete that equipment. These acts were re- garded as significant, as indicating the de- sire of the government to get the regiments named ready for active service at once. More Trouble in the Medical Corps. Additional trouble has been brewing of late in the medical department. This time it is the result of transferring recruits to the hospital service. Some time ago Col. Girard asked for the detail of a certain number of men for serving in the Hospital Corps, and when these were delayed threatened the colonels of the delinquent regiments with court-martial. When the details were ready for transfer, a general order was issued transferring the men from the volunteer service into the regular ser- vice. Of course, the men objected strenu- ously. Colonel Girard explains that, as far as possible, the men will be kept with their own commands and will be assigned to duty under their own officers, and that they will all be discharged when their regiments are mustered out of the service. This, he says, makes little real difference in their status. Notwithstanding this statement, the men dislike the change, and say so de- cidedly and emphatically. Large Additions of Recruits. Recruits are coming Into camp in great number. The novelty of the thing has worn off, and they are allowed to proceed on their way without half the teasing and guying that marked the entrance of the first com Ohio, Illinois, New York and Pennsylvania have out about half of the quota desired. One battalion has all the men needed to complete its roster. A Private Punished. Summary court was assembled yesterday afternoon for the purpose of considering the case of Private J. W. Keitel, Company D, 2d Tennessee. Private Keitel wa charged with resisting an officer. It a pears that Sergeant Brown of Company D ordered Private Keitel to continue his la- bor and to police the company streets more thoroughly. Private Keitel refused to com- ply and asked the sergeant where he got his stripes. He then attempted to thrash Sergeant Brown, and was promptly arrest- ed by Lieut. J. E. Fisher. The court pun- ished him by fining him $10, and putting him in the guard house for thirty days. Notes of the Camp. Colonel W. Coulling, formerly on duty with the 2d Virginia, has been appointed captain and quartermasier, United States army. Brigadier General Cole and Captain Petti- john have both been assigned to duty, the former to command the 3d Brigade of the 2d Division and the latter as commis- sary of subsistence of the same brigade. All the recruits for the 2d Battalion, 6th Illinois, arrived in a body last night. Charles B. Murphy, Company A, 8d Mi souri, Gied yesterday morning of acute pneumonia. He was buried at Arlington yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock by Chap- lain Kerlin. Under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. a big mass meeting will be held on the parade grounds at Camp Alger tonight. Major General O. O. Howard will speak after dress parade, 1d music will be furnished by regimental bands. General Graham will preside and introduce the speaker, Raiding Party Effects Capture. Three regiments hurried into camp to- day covered with dust. They were the 65th New York, 7th Ohio and Ist New Jersey, and they had come from Glen Echo to Falls Church, a distance of thirteen miles, in about four hours. The hurry was due to two causes, the order of recall issued to the 65th New York and the desire of the regimental commanders to protect their baggage trains from seizure by the Ist New York Volunteer Calvary. During the march Capt. Clayton and his troopers had little trouble in capturing some part of the bag- gage train. Today the mounted troops will devote similar attention to the men en- camped at Difficult run, the 7th Iiinois, 4th Missouri and the 6th Pennsylvania. New York will have had two of her vol- unteers transferred to the regular service within the next week—Battalion Adjutant James B. Mitchell of the 3d Infantry and Sergt. Alfred N. Maculay, Troop A of the ist Cavalry. Both are to be second lieu- ‘tenants. Private Charies B. Murphy, Company A, 3d Missouri, died yesterday morning of acute pneumonia.
