General Miles Opposed to Pian to Send Aid to the Reconcentradoes, Spanish the Washington, D, C., June 20,— ‘There is decided opposition in the war department to an expedition for the relief of the Cuban reconcen- rs s. Gen, Miles is said to have urged against the project at the white house nference Saturday. If supplies must ent to the starving Cubans, it is Miles’ recommendation that steamers be chartered and the distribution en- trusted to foreign consuls in Cuba, Such a plan, war department of- ficials say, would require special legislation, but they are united in the opinion that this is not an opportune time for using the military forces in sueh & humanitarian pursuit. Gen. Miles believes it would re- quire a very large force to carry out the project and would mean invasion of Cuba, which the military au- thorities are not inclined to nndertake at this season, but despite discourage- ment some consideration has been given to means of landing relief sup- plies in western Cuba, SPAIN WILL NOT EXCHANGE, Madrid, June 20.—The converted yacht Giraldo landed Minister of Marine Annon at Carthagena Satur- day.

Chattanooga, Tenn., June Major R. W. McClaughry, Captain Osborne and Dr. Fred Howard Wines are getting facts about the soldiers on the Chickamauga field for guidance of the Cllinois Army and Navy league. ‘The committee spent the day inthe Third and Fifth regiments, — It learned that all the mothers and fath- ers and wives in the association cav no longer deal with the man who left their own households.

An order has been issued to stop this. TODAY'S SITUATION. This promises to be the most im- portant week of the war so far. The army of invasion has arrived off San- tiago de Cuba and it is supposed that short work will be made of the town fortifications and Spanish fleet in the harbor. Then the flying squadron, under Schley, is to be reorganized and make a dash at the Canaries and the Spanish coast in order to block any offensive movement of Camara’s squadron, which is at or near Carth- agena, in the Meditterranean, It is predicted that Camara’s fleet will be destroyed whenever it can be brought to an engagement, whether by Schley or Dewey. The army had not reached Santi- ago de Cuba at 10 o’clock Saturday night, Rear Admiral Sampson prob- ably spent part of Sunday in destroy- ing Morro Castle. Admiral Samp- son bad not decided whether to em ploy the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius or the big guns of the fleet. The havoc wrought by the Vesuvi- us at night has evidently caused the Spaniards to desert their guns b night, as when the St, Louis put in within 8300 yards of ehore Friday night and spent some time trying to secure the Kingston cable, not a shot was fired.

Washington, June 20, — Major General Miles will personally com- mand the Porto Rico expedition This bas been the plan for the last six weeks, The war department is | having a great deal of trouble in pro- curing transports for the Porto Rican army. It will be totally impossible for the | expedition to leave the United States | before the expiration of at least three has now |weeks, The government only twelve transports for couvoying | the army to Porto Rico, and it will] be necessary to obtain eighteen addi-| tional ships. Major General Miles will probably remain in Washington about a week to supervise the details of the expe- dition from the army headquarters. The army for Porto Rico will be 20,000 strong. Major General Miles will be ia command and Major Gen- eral Coppinger second. In all prob- ability Gen. Miles will return to the United States in the fall and com- mand the main army of invasion in Cuba, General Coppinger will re- main in Porto Rico as military gov- ernor, ‘The importance of capturing Porto Rico is apparent to the administra~ tion, If by any possibility Camara’s fleet should come to this side of the Atlantic the Spaniards would natur- ally make Porto Rico their base. It is not deemed necessary, bow- ever, that the expedition leave before three weeks, but everything is being | burried as rapidly as possible to avoid | unnecessary delay. HAS MANILA SURRENDERED?
