Special. It is President McKinley's desire that Puerto Rico be In the possession of American troops before Spain takes steps to secure a termination of hostilities. Plans for the Invasion of the island were put into execution with that object in view, and will be rushed through, so that if any technicalities are raised by the Spanish government the United States need only point to the fact that Spain's remaining colony in the West Indies is under the control of American soldiers. Plans for the invasion contemplate the distribution of troops throughout various important provinces of Puerto Rico, and hence Spain will fail in any attempt to prove to European powers that the island is still city to be turned over to the Cubans. This is thought to be one of the chief causes of the friction between the insurgents and the American army.

Chichester said: "There Is but one man who knows what I would do, and. his name is Dewey." The Germans understand now that they have to reckon with the British fleet.

Around the Spanish government In connection with peace negotiations European diplomats are earning cm the usual game of trying- to outwit each other for objects so easy to guess that anybody can read through such old world secrets of chancellories," as diplomatic phraseology styles them.

Germany plays knowingly the deepest game with the help of Austria, as Spain might some day in Europe and Morocco be a satellite of the triple alliance If she does not come out of the present war too crippled. France, acting for herself and Russia, bids for the favors of Spain and the regency by polite steps taken after Cervera's fleet was destroyed and by a broad hint that she will undertake what Austria cannot do without appearing to take a part too openly for Spain In promoting peace. Taking advantage of the bitter feeling in Spain against England, which nation is accused of being too friendly toward America, diplomatic circles In Madrid have floated the rumor that England wanted to assist Spain in exchange for strategical positions around Gibraltar. The object was not only to estrange England from Spain, but to sow seeds of distrust in America against England. The Duke of Almodovar contradicts the above report.

July 19. Special. In view of the erroneous reports circulated today anent the selection of a Military Governor for Santiago and that portion of eastern Cuba surrendered to General Shafter, Secretary Alger made the statement this afternoon that the matter had not yet been settled by the administration. Brigadier General Chambers McKibbln will administer the affairs of Santiago until President McKinley and his advisers decide upon and appoint some one to hold the office permanently. Administration Is Annoyed.

In this connection the attitude of General Garcia and several of his chiefs is giving the administration much annoyance. Garcia, it appears, expected to take possession of the city Immediately it was surrendered by the Spanish, but he ran afoul of General Shafter in his attempts to loot Santiago, and was prohibited entering the city at all. General Garcia had gone so far as choose General Castillo for Governer General of the city, and both the latter and bis chief were somewhat disappointed at the rebuff administered by Shafter. It is not denied that the government is absolutely disgusted with the attitude of the Cubans at Santiago, as much so perhaps as the soldiers whom the insurgents refused to assist. It is freely predicted in semi-official circles that Shafter may have considerable difficulty with the Cubans la administering the affairs of the captured city, but In the event of any hostile action on the part of Garcia and his soldiers Shafter would, it is asserted, be Justified in resorting to drastic measures.

Ponce, on the south coast. In the opinion of the naval officers, is the only point which offers facilities for landing, since both the north and south coasts are rugged and cannot be approached by vessels of large draft.

It was the intention of the government to land troops either west or east of San Juan on the mainland and capture a position in the Bayamon Mountain, which commands the capital city. It is absolutely essential to secure an Intrenhced position in this mountain if San Juan is to be attacked from the rear. If it were possible to effect a landing on the north coast either west or east of San Juan It would be an easy matter to make a detour of the city and march up into the mountain. While It will be a more laborious undertaking to capture the mountain by a IMPORTANT NEWS AND FEATUEJS. under Spanish control.

General Miles may be in possession of a base of supplies in Puerto Rico before the end of the week, in view of the change made in his orders after the Cabinet meeting today. The President and his advisers devoted themselves almost exclusively to the coming campaign in Puerto Rico, which they decided must be subjugated at once to forestall any design of Spain to prevent capture of the island by requesting an armistice for the opening of peace negotiations. President McKinley would rather have the question of ownership of the Island settled by actual possession than by tedious and long drawn out correspondence with the Spanish government, which would perhaps lead to complications which can be avoided by taking immediate possession of the island. Miles Waits No Longer. In following out the altered Instructions from the President General Miles will not wait for the forces under Generals Schwan and Ernst.

Schwan and Ernst will proceed direct to Puerto Rico, where Miles and Sampson will have prepared landing places for the conclusion of an Anglo-Arnerican alliance by any attempt to hinder or coerce the United States. Disappointment with the policy of the Spanish government is growing here, and it is beginning to be believed that Spain can be convinced of the absolute necessity of suing for peace only by fresh disasters. A great surprise was occasioned here by the news that the odds at Santiago were largely on the side of the Spaniards." WILL START THE FIRST BANK IN HAWAII. miral Dewey end himself knew that.

According to the official army list the Spanish forces in the Island of Puerto Rico are made up of 309 officers and 6.SC2 men. This total of 7.219, Including the chaplains, is supposed to be the maximum of the Span fused here. The German officials will only admit that differences of opinion between Admiral Dewey and Admiral von DIedrichs as to the right of searching warships have occurred, and the Germans add Admiral von Eiedrlcha refused to allow German warships to be searched.

The Vossische Zeitung, In a much discussed article prefaced by the statement that some 'rectiflcatloa la needed, of the errors regard-'lag German feeling toward America, asserts that the unfriendly sentiments are fostered by th interested English press.

General Ernat was not successful in clearing away from Cber.eston last evening, but it was understood he would get off today In pursuance of Instructions forwarded this afternoon, which direct him to proceed to Puerto Rico. General Schwan cleared Port Tampa last evening, but remained at anchorage outside the harbor, awaiting further orders, which reached him this afternoon. Immediately after the Cabinet meeting Secretary Alger communicated with General Miles and remained in constant communication with him during the afternoon.

General Miles informed the War department that three transports bearing General Gar-retson's brigade, consisting of the Sixth Illinois (Colonel Jack Foster's regiment) the Sixth Massachusetts, and the Eighth Ohio, were ready to set sail from Siboney, together with the Yale, his flagship, bearing four light batteries. General Miles, it is said, preferred to await the arrival of Generals Schwan and Ernst, but the necessity of making a landing on Puerto Rican soil without delay was impressed upon him. Secretary Alger suggested that he confer with Admiral Sampson concerning the cooperation of the navy In the preliminary descent upon Puerto Rico. Signs of Disagreement. Signs of a disagreement between the army and navy appeared today with the renewal of plans for further attack upon Spain's soldiers.

Secretary Alger was impetuously eager to have the preliminary expeditions hurried off at once, and when asked whether the army was ready for the attack upon Spain's most easterly West Indian possession he said all plans were in shape to be Polavieja the Coming Man.

The papers announce that the Cabinet Council yesterday was occupied with the capitulation of Santiago de Cuba.

When these Pelayo Seen to Be in Tow of a Cruiser, Showing the Big Battleship Had Been Damaged During the Exhibition Trip to Suez. have been received the question of a court was holding back. Secretary Long, though apparently ignorant of Secretary Alger's statement, asserted that Admiral Sampson was ready to start for Puerto Rico, and would take up the journey at any moment martial of Generral Toral will be submitted. ish defense, as all the commands have oeen reduced by a campaign and sickness. It Is known that the Spanish landed a number of troops in Puerto Rico after the breaking out of the war, but it is believed that they will not much more than make up for the losses in the actual list.

To these regular troops are to be added a number of battalions of volunteers and guerrillas, but the maximum Is not expected to be much over 10,000 men. In anticipation of a joint attack upon i San Juan by the American naval and land forces Captain General Macias has concentrated the largest portion of his force of 10,000 soldiers in and immediately outside the capital, and hence his subordinates commanding the outlying military divisions have precious few soldiers with which to resist an attack. Indeed, army officers have every reason to believe the conquest of Puerto Rico will be easily effected. It cannot be conceived that Macias can cope with such a powerful force as will be concentrated In Puerto Rico when General Brooke forms a Junction with General Miles. The administration is prepared to send 50.000 soldiers to the island if need be, but with 50.000 Miles and Brooke will be- in a position to completely overwhelm the enemy.

Possession to Be Permanent. In military circles surprise has been expressed over the government's action la sending 30,000 soldiers to Puerto Rico In view of the much smaller force which accompanied General Shafter to Cuba. In Puerto Rico, however, the conditions are different. Cuba will eventually be turned over to the Cubans, but Puerto Rico will remain a permanent possession of the United States, and hence the necessity of sending a larger force of soldiers to the island is apparent. It will be necessary to garrison all the principal cities of the island, and when Miles and Brooke have compelled the enemy to surrender more soldiers, probably 20,000, will be sent to Puerto Rico to retain permanent possession.

General Miles' Instructions as to a landing place were discretionary, although Port Porce was suggested as the most suitable place In view of its accessibility from the sea and other facilities which it possesses. It is probable General Miles will find some other point at which he could land a small force, but Port Ponce Is practically the only place at which a force of any considerable numerical strength can be accommodated. It would be an absolute Impossibility for Sampson 'to venture within three or four miles of the Puerto Rican coast at any point save at Ponce or San Juan, and naval experts assert it would-be absurd to presume Sampson would attempt to shell the enemy's stronghold from such a distance with bis ships rocking and buffeting on the waves. Indeed, if Miles attempted to land anywhere except at Ponce Sampson could not protect the soldiers. Either along the north or south coast Miles would be Compelled to embark his forces on lighters and by slow and laborious work make his way towards land, leaving his transports at sea.

All Agree on Port Ponce. In accepting Port Ponce as the objective point of Miles' preliminary expedition military and naval experts have taken everything Into consideration which might locate the landing point on the north coast, but It has been useless and they have concluded Ponce is the place. It is said In view of El Imparcial learns from several members of the Cabinet that In their opinion for General Miles gave the word.

CLASH WITH THE CUBAN ALLIES American Soldiers Express Tneir Dislike of the Conduct of Gax-cia's Porces. Santiago de Cuba, July 19. A fact which Is being Impressed more and more every day upon the American officers and troopa Is the Increasing strained relations between themselves and General Garcla's Cuban soldiers.

The situation has now reached a point where there is practically no communication between the armies, ana their attitude Is almost one of hostility rather thaa that which should between allies. After General Shafter announced his decision not to let the Cubans enter Santiago deep mutterlngs were heard among General Garcla's men. It was evident the Cuban were greatly disappointed at the step taken by the American commander, for they had confidently counted upon having Santiago to loot and plunder as they had In succession sacked Batqulrl. Siboney. and El Carey.

Consequently their disappointment was keen when they ascertained that they were not to be permitted to take possession upon Gen-eralToral'a surrender. Last Friday a brother of General Demetrius Castillo went to General Shafter'a headquarters In order to ascertain the caua of this, to the Cubans, inexplicable order. Why is Santiago to remain In the hands of our enemies?" he asked. The Spaniards are not our enemies," replied General Shafter. "We are figltiBif the soldiers of Spain, but we have no desire to despoil her citizens.

In the House of Commons today Thomas Gibson Bolles, Conservative member for Kings Lynn, asked whether there was any truth in the statement made by Mr. Cunningham-Graham, a former member of Parliament, In a letter to the St. James' Gazette, saying the excellent gunnery shown by Admiral Dewey's squadron was due to the fact that most of the gunners were Englishmen decoyed from the British Chinese squadron by promises of $500 monthly.

Mr. Goschen, First Lord of the Admiralty, replied that no one at the Admiralty had heard such a rumor. Continuing, Mr. Goschen said: I may add with reference to the alleged enlistment of Signal Man Matthews, lately court-martialed at Devonport for the theft of a signal book from the commander of the United States steamer Somers, that I have received a letter from Lieutenant Colonel "Well, the United States naval attache, fn Which he writes: That any officer of the United States Eavy would induce a man of a friendly power to desert I distinctly deny, and in nearly thirty years service I have never known a deserter from a foreign service knowingly enlisted in my country's service.

Colonel Jack Foster's Spain to sue for peace would be an avowal that she is vanquished.

Moreover, they believe that the United States, flattered by the triumph at Santiago, would only consent to peace on unequal terras, and that, therefore, it is preferable to continue the war in the hope of reconquering a portion of the lost territory.

Sampson could approach near enough to the shore to destroy the newly constructed fortifications at the intersection of the railway and military road on the coast west of Port Ponce, and thus prepare the way for the soldiers.
