PORTSMOUTH, N. H., July 15.—The United States auxiliary crutser Harvard, in command of Captain Charles F. Cotton, from Santiago, having on board 1,008 Span- ish prisoners, arrived in Portsmouth harbor and dropped anchor about three miles from the center of the city at 6:30 o'clock this morning. The port physician boarded the vessel and, in company with the Spanish doctor, made an inspection. His visit disclosed the fact that nearly half of those on board are ill. Six Spaniards died on the passage from Santiago to Portsmouth, another death oc- curred this forenoon, after the cruiser reached this port, and three patients were not expected to live until night. ‘There were forty serious cases in the sick bay and forty equally as bad in other por- tions of the ship. All these patients are said to be victims of malarial fever, with whith disease those who died were affected. These facts have been reported to the au- thorities 1t the navy yard and the four physicians there will make a further In- spection of the vessel and determine wheth- er or not she shall be sent to quarantine. Owing to these conditions, nothing has been done in the line of preparation for landing the troops. The trip from Santiago north was without unusual incident, aside from the sickness and death. —_———_ WHERE THE VOLUNTEERS ARE. Changes in Station Since the Previous Bulletin Was Issued.

N. Thompson, from his comrades of Potomac Post, No. 11, Department of the Potomac, G. A. R., July 13, 1808." ‘The presentation speech was made by Dr. J. R. Hayes, the post commander, and was appropriately responded to by the re- cipient, who was deeply moved by this evidence of the esteem of his G. A. R comrades. Mrs. Thompson proved herself to be an accomplished hostess and soon had tables temptingly spread with refreshments, which had been provided by ladies of Po- tomac Corps, No, 2, W. R.

VoL. + | Las SANTIAGO WAS SURROUNDED. ATTACK ON PORTO RICO Entirely New Men Will Be Used for the Next Expedition. Plenty of Transports Avatlable—Im- mane Regiments to Be Sent to Santiago. “Next is Porto Rico,” said Secretary Al- ger, after receiving news of Santiago's for- mal surrender, “and then, if need be, Ha- vana.” The Secretary said that the Porto Rican expedition would go forward im- mediately. It will comprise new men en- tirely. The soldiers in the trenches before Santiago have distinguished themselves and it is not deemed prudent to bring them in unnecessary contact with new troops, in view of the danger of spreading contagion. The sick soldiers will be nursed back to health and brought to the United States as soon as they can be safely removed. Im- mune regiments will be ordered to San- tiago to garrison the town, and two of these regiments are already under orders to proceed. The Porto Rican expedition will be com- manded by General Miles in person, though General Brooke, now in command at Camp Thomas, is expected to be his main depend- ence. The size of the expedition will de- pend upon General Miles’ wishes, although it is believed that 25,000 men will be suf- ficient for the purpose. At Juan the na can be of greater an than it was at Santiago, owing to the possibility of ap- proaching the town more closely without risking contact with mines. General Brooke is now on his way to Washington. so that he will be in a p jon to make nis views known to the department. Plenty of Available Transports. The experience gained in dispatching Sha ‘te expedition, it is expected, will aid the officials in their determination to make short work of the Porto Rican affair. There will be plenty of transports avaliable for the expedition,, as the government has devised other means of removing the Span- Jards captured at Santiago to Spain than by carrying thim on these transports. ‘hat hare at short not goes without saying. Porto Rico is not expected to offer a formidable resist- ance. It is believed that the moral effect of the surrender at Santiago will be to dis- courage the defenders of San Juan. There 1s, hewever, always the prospect that peace may ensue before hostilities have pro- gressed against Spain's easternmost West India Island. Rumors were afloat to the effect that the Spanish government at ‘ast had made overtures in that direction, but their basis probably was the current belief that one more reverse to the Spanish arms would be sufficient to, compel the Spanish government to sue for peace, and this re- verse was furnished by the surrender of Toral’s army. Will Go to Spain. The Navy Department has not been af- fected by these rumors to the extent of re- laxing any of its precautions or abandon- ing any of its plans, for Secretary Long states unequivocally that Commodore Wat- son’s eastern squadron will certainly go to Spain as scon as it can sail. In the matter of transports the War De- partment is, fuNy prepared for the next move. The acquisition recently of a num- ber of transatlantic liners capable of car- rying several times as many men as the smaller transports has put it on an excel- lent footing, and it was announced that no more ships are Lsigpe | bought for the At- Jantic coast. Many of the transports which carried soldiers to Cuba are now being used for other purposes, chief among which is that of bringing the sick and wounded to the United States. The ships available by the department are distributed about as fol- lows: Twenty-five at Santiago, twelve at ‘Tampa, three at Charleston, four at New York, four at Key West and others on the way to and from different ports. or Thomas J. Hanley has been appointed by the District Commissioners an additional private on the police force for three y2ars, for duty between 15th and 18th and H and K streets. OUR FORCES AT SANTIAGO. Land Operations Took Little Over a Month. Operations by land against Santiago began on June 11, says the New ‘York Herald, when eight hundred marines were landed from the Panther at the entrance of Guan- tanamo bay. It was the plan to establish a base there. This plucky band was attack- ed night and day by the Spaniards, and four Americans, the first to die on Cuban soll, were killed. The marines could not be dislodged from their position, and the Spaniards finally retreated toward the town of Guantanamo. It subsequently was decided to land the American invading army nearer to Santi- ago, and Baiquiri was chosen as the place for the debarkation. There 1 men and 773 officers were landed on June 21 and 22. This expedition was under com- mand of Major General William R. Shaft- er. The infant i were the 16th, 21st, 24th, 22d, 10th, 9th, 8th, 2d, 1 ist, 25th, 12th, 7th, 17th, 3d and the 7ist New York and 2d Massachusetts Volun- teers. ‘The cavalrymen in the expedition includ- ed two dismounted squadrons of four troops each fromthe 3d, 6th, Sth, Ist and loth Regular Cavalry’ and two dismounted squadrons of four troops each from the Rough Riders. The Artil Light Batteries E and K, Ist Artillery; and F, 2d Artillery; G and H, 4th Artiller The engincers comprised Companies C and E, and there was one detachment from the prymen included y; A Signal Corps. General Shafter's progress was opposed every foot of the way frem Baiquiri_ and Siboney to Santiago.” There was fierce fighting from June 24, When the Rough Riders were caught incambush at La G fmas, to July 1, wher! ElfCaney Juan, Santiago's principal: outer were captured by our:troops. Since July 1 the army in Cuba reinforced by the following troop: 34th Michigan, 9th Massachusetts, men; recruits for the regular army and San defenses, has been a nd men; Ist Illincis Infantry, “42 men; 1s District of Columbia infantry, 853 men; | 16th Pennsylvania; six light batteries United States Artillery, 725 men; the sth Ohio, the Gth Illinois and the Gth Ma chusetts, 3,903 men. In the fighting about, Santiago 250 Am icans and Cubans were Killed and about fourteen hundred were wounded. On the Spanish side the loss was much greater, both in killed and wounded, and several hundred Spaniards were taken prisoners. —— MILES PRAISES SHAFTER. Precautiong Taken Against Spread of Yellow Fever. The following dispatch from General Miles’ was received late yesterday after- noon: “PLAYA, July 14. “Secretary of War, Washington: “Before Santiago, July 14.—General Toral formally surrendered the troops of his army—troops and division of Santiago—on the terms and understanding that his troops shall be returned to Spain. General Shafter will appoint commissioners to draw up the conditions of arrangements for car- rying out the terms of surrender. “This is very gratifying, and General Shafter and the officers and men of his command are entitled to great credit for their sincerity and fortitude in overcoming the almost insuperable obstacles which they encountered. “A portion of the army has been infected with yellow fever, and efforts will be made to separate those who are infected and those free from it, and to keep those who are still on board ship separated from those on shore. Arrangements will be immedi- ately made for carrying out further in- structions of the President and yourself. NELSON A. MILES, Major General of the Army.” ———— To Be Temporarily at Honolalu, Army officials have been advised of the protest made to Gen. Qtis at San Fran- cisco by Col. Barber, commanding the 1st New York Volunteer Regiment, against the proposed assignment of that regiment to garrison duty at Honolulu. The colonel, however, has been informed that the in- tentions of the President and the Secre- tary of War contemplate the location of his command at the fslands only temporar- ily and for a period approximating two months, after which it is to be sent to the Philippines. MARYLAND'S HERO, SCHLEY Movement for a Testimonial Started by Citi- zens of Cumberland. It Will Take the Form Either of a Silver Service or a Home- stend—The Enthusiasm. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. CUMBERLAND, Md., July 15—Promi- nent citizens met at the Academy of Music last night to begin the movement to pro- cure a testimonial from the people of Mary- land for their fellow citizen, Winfield Scott Schley, in recognition of his achievement at Santiago. The auditorium was jammed with people, one-half of whom were ladies, and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed. The decorations were elaborate. General Joseph Sprige presided. He said i that it was not yet known the charac- | ter of the testimonial to be purchased, but | it would probably be either a silver service | or a homestead, and it was proposed to | raise the necessary amount by popular sub- \ scription. ery men of Schl was greeted with tumultuous applause. | Senator Wellington sald that this was a war that should not b that in this nine- teenth century and Chr not just cause for any | favored its vigorous prosecution since it commenced and the upholding of the ident in his efforts to bring about a ictorious conclusion.

Sick Boys on Stretchers Groan While Other Injured Lads Sang “Star Sp: mgied Banner.” The transport Breakwater arrived at Fert Monroe yesterday afternoon from Santiago de Cuba, bringing 140 wounded and sick soldiers. Hundreds of people steod on the pier and watched the vessel steam slowly up to the dock, and a few inutes after the Brcakwater was moored the work of transferring the soldiers to the wharf commenced. The scenes wit- nessed when the City of Washington ar- rived were re-enacted. It was a reproduc- tion of the same drama of pathos and en- thusiasm, in which sobs and cheers were <ccmingled. Men who had been wounded while tight- ing under a tropical sun to liberate an op- pressed people were carried from the Breakwater on siretchers, some groaning on account of excruciating pain, while others were singing the “Star Spangled Banner.” The soldiers were placed in tho hespital tents, where thelr wounds were redressed and a change of clothing placed on them. Some of the men are serious- ly wounded, but the surgeons believe that with a few exceptions all of them will recover. It was impossible to get a list of the wounded and sick, as the sur- geon in char ze has not completed it. Among those who came on the Break- water was Col, Mills. His wife was at the wharf to receive him. The valiant colonel was shot in the head during the first day's ergagement. The ball entered his right eye and ploughed its way just under the skull to a point above the ear, where it made its exit. Col. Mills will recover. Among the nurses at Fcrt Monroe are the Misses Evais, daughters of “Fighting —. Evans, commancer of the battle ship cwa. Some of the officers who accompanied the wounded soldiers on the trip north give interesting accounts of the fighting around Santiago. “I was standing near Capt. Ca- pron and Hamilton Fish,” said a corporal to the Associated Press correspondent, “and saw them shot down. They were with the rough riders and ran into an am- buscade, though they had been warned of the danger. Capt. Capron and Fish were shot while leading a charge. If it had not been for the negro cavalry the rough rid- ers would have beeen exterminated. I am not a negro lover. My father fought with Mosby's. rangers and I was born in the south, but the negroes saved that fight, and the day will come when General Shaf- ter will give them credit for their bravery. ‘Are the rough riders fighters?’ Those fel- lows never knew when they are licked, and there are no braver men in the regi- than Col.

The big Saturday Star this week will con- tain a wealth of timely reading matter that is certain to interest both soldiers and civ- ilians. All classes of readers will be look- ed after. There will be fiction suitabie for a warm evening; stories and other special articles especially suited to juvenile read- ers; fresh news from summer resorts where Washington people are spending their va- cations; fashion letters full of valuable hints and suggestions for women who are getting ready to go away; cleverly written descriptions of life in the army and navy; jJetters of travel and adventure, and a host of other features all up to the high stand- ard of literary excellence which The Star has always endeavored to maintain. In the matter of fiction, the readers of The Star will have a rich treat, for, in ad- dition to the thirteenth installment of Rob- ert W. Chambers’ striking serial, “Ashes of Empire,” there will be an excellent short story from the pen of W. A. Fraser, en- titled “Bull-Dog Carney.” The story is located in the wild country of the Cana- dian northwest. It tells of a mysterious murder on the Missoula trail and how the mystery of it was unraveled. Mr. Fraser is a new story writer, whose work has already made its mark. He has spent many years in travel, and his stories are strong in local color, as well as in human interest. Among other features that are both time- ly and interesting to appear in The Satur- day Star may be mentioned the following: AS IT USED TO BE (ilustrated). A delightfully written description of San- tiago as it was before the war, doubly interesting now that all eyes are turned toward that ancient city. BOLIVIAN BACKWOODS (Illustrated). Frank Carpenter tells of some of the cur- ious people he has met during his trav- els through South America. ARTISTIC COSTUMES (llustrated). M. Felix describes some handsome gowns that have-been seen at recent functions at the gay French capital. PRIDE OF THE NAVY (illustrated). Our three new battle ships that are soon to be built will be among the most powerful floating fortresses in the world. THEIR UNHAPPY LOT (illustrated). Sterling Hellig says that French soldiers are subjected to all sorts of petty an- noyances, in marked contrast to the condition of the men in our own army. NEWPORT NOVELTIES (illustrated). A fashion letter that tells what the wo- men at that famous resort are wearing this season. WITH BOW AND ARROW (illustrated). The fun small boys can have in summer time with the weapons of Robin Hood, COSTLY CRITICISM. Owing to the law of lese majeste, it does not pay to make remarks about the Em- peror of Germany; an article of great value, written by a leading journalist of Berlin. FAVORITE STATIONS.

DEALING WITH GERMANY, The Most Exclusive Decree the Only Subject of Negotiations. The fact that our government has been engaged in a vigorous correspondence with the German government through the me- dium of Ambassador White has given rise to the assumption that the State Depart- ment has been making representations to Germany on the subject of the conduct of the German naval commanders in the Phil. ippines. This, however, is erroneous; the correspondence in question relates to that old and troublesome vissue, the exclusion decrees of the German government directed against United States hog products. It ap- pears that, acting upon very scant evidence, as it was regarded by our officials, the German customs officers have denied the admission into Germany of a very large and valuable consignment of boned ham from a Chicago packing establishment of high reputation. The matter has been placed in the hands of Ambassador White to deal with, as he is thoroughly familiar with all of the phases of the meat exclu- sion decrees. Sar:
