Insurgent Garcia Has a Conference
"With the Admiral More Men Soom
to he Ready Troops Under Second
Call.
The latest dispatches from Santiagostate that Gen. Shatter's army is at San-tiago and soon to be disembarked at morethan one place, and that the prospect isof an early attack by combined militaryand naval forces. It is also stated thatCalixto Garcia, the insurgent Generalvisited Admiral Sampson and discussedplans of action. Garcia has 4,000 men.
It is thought now that at least 8,000troops will be sent to reinforce Shaftcr. Ifnot needed they will proceed to PortoRico at the time set for movement againstthat place, joining the rest of the secondexpedition. The insurgents may be al-
lowed to hold Santiago after capture.The Generals who went with Gen.
Shatter on the Santiago expedition arc:Maj.-Gc- n. Joseph Wheeler, Brig.-Gen- s.
J. F. Kent, H. S. Hawkins, S. S. Sumner, sentJ. C. Bates, S. B. M. Young, H, W. Law-to- n,
7th.and A. R. Chaffee; also, Maj.-Gc- n157Ui."Breckinridge and Brig.-Ge- n. William Lud-
low went as inspecting officer and en-gineer officer from Headquarters of theArmy, respectively.
Maj.-Ge- n. Miles, General-in-Chi- ef of theArmy, accompanied by Col. Maus, Maj.Pavis and Col. Greenleaf, of hisstaff, ar-rived in Washington last week, after hav-ing directed the departure of the first armyof invasion to Cuba.
Gen. Miles came in response to a tele-graphic summons from the Secretary ofWar, who desires to go over certain phases Jof the campaign with him.
Speaking in a general way of his obser-vations, he said: "Having spent some timewith the troops, during a trying periodof hurried preparations, I am glad to saythat they are a splendid body of men,which the country may well be proud of."
A prominent railroad man present atTampa recently said that "the delay at-tending the transportation of troops fromTampa was caused by the lack of abilityon the part of Army Quartermasters, whoseemed to be utterly unable to properlydischarge their duties. Many carloads ofprovisions for the troops were not handledpromptly, and their contents in conse-quence spoiled, and had to be thrown intothe sea. The" magnificent military systemof the United States is defective in theQuartermaster's Department. There is ap-parently a lack of Quartermasters whohave a thorough knowledge of up-to-da- te
rail as well as ship transportation. Itseems to me that the remedy for it is tofive instructions at West Point in trans-portation, so that Army officers can super-vise the work of this most important de-partment, and see that it is properly in thisdone."
The Adjutant-Genera- l of the Army lastweek gave out tlie number of organiza-tions from each State required under thesecond call for troops. These will be inaddition to the number of men which willbe enlisted from the several States to fillto the maximum of 106 men to a companythe organizations now in the field.
Of the 75,000 men required under thePresident's second call, 43,000 will beneeded to recruit the existing volunteerregiments up to the maximum strength.
The remaining 32.000 men will be or-ganized into companies, battalions andregiments as the exigencies of the callrequire. Under the second call, the vari-ous States and Territories will furnish, asorganizations, 22 regiments of infantrv,six regiments and three companies of in-fantry in unattached organizations. 11light batteries and three heavy batteries.
The new organizations will be appor-tioned as follows, being infantry unlessotherwise stated:
Alabama, two battalions: California, oneregiment; Colorado, one light battery;Connecticut, one regiment; Georgia, oneregiment; Illinois, twe regiments; Indiana,one regiment and two companies; Iowa,two light batteries; Kansas, two battal-ions; Kentucky, one regiment; Louisiana,three light batteries; Maine, three heavybatteries; Maryland, one battalion, Ma-ssachusetts, one regiment, Michigan, oneregiment; Minnesota, one regiment; '.Mi-ssissippi, sir. companies; Missouri, oneregiment; Nebraska, one regiment; NewJersey, one regiment; New York, three reg-iments and three light batteries; NorthCarolina, seven companies; Ohio, oneregiment and nine companies; Oregon,two light batteries; Pennsylvania, 18 com-panies; Rhode Island, two batteries lightartillery; South Carolina, two battalions;xennessee, one regiment; Texas, one rcgimum; nan. wi: ugui nailery; Virginia,two battalions; Washington, one battalion' froWest Virginia, one regiment; Wisconsin' :use;one regiment and one light batteryNevada, three companies; Arizona, NewMexico and Indian Territory, one ref- -ment.. Wyoming, Idaho. Arkansas, Florida "rr'"":'7"
New Hampshire, Delaware, Montana'North Dakota, Soulh Dakota, Vermont!and the Dibtrict of Columbia having nniicrthe first call furnished in excess of theirquota,. will. not be called upon to furnishany new organizations under second callnothing beyond filling the organizationsnow in the service.
All the efforts of the authorities In theWest are bending to facilitate tho earlydispatch of the entire number of troopsselected Jor Manila, but the most sanguinehave little expectation that the last willleave before the middle of July and thewhole body will probably not be encampedIn the Philippines until early in AugustWere the same facilities available on thePacific coast that are at the disposal ofthe Government on this side for transport-ing by sea large bodies of men, the lastexpedition could be well on its way toManila by the end of the month.
Adj'l-Gen- . Corbin has made public thenames of 195 young men who have beenselected for appointment as Second Licu-tcna-nts-- in
the Regular Arniv. The ap-pointments arc to fill vacancies createduv iiiu iiei oi congress adopting the thrcc-battah- on
organization for the infantry armof the service, and the addition of oneSecond Lieutenant to all batteries whenfilled to war strength. Of the 1.05 mn ;..pointed 80 arc graduates of colleges hav-ing military instructors, 48 are now in thevolunteer or militia service, and 13 are cn-list-
men in tho Regular Army. Morethan 7,000 applications for the appoint-ments, were filed at the War Department.
President McKirilcy carefully watchedthe v6rk bf'the little bodv of marines atGuantanalno Bay last "week. In thecourse of a discussion on the subject hosaid he was proud of the battalion and ofthe work they had accomplished. ThoPresident called especial attention to (hedisadvantages under which ,thev hdfought, and added that under lhcse-cir-cumstance- she
couid not but pay a hightribute tothe valor and efficiency of the Inmarines.

TUESDAY, JUNE .
OFF FOU THE nilLTPPIXEH.To-da-y 3,500 men were embarked at San
Francisco for the Philippine Islands. Thofleet was made up as follows:
Steamer China 1st Colo., two Utahlight batteries, and half of the 18th U. S.
Steamer Colon 2:$d U. S., and half oithe 18th U. S.
Steamer Zealandia 10th Pa.Steamer Senator 1st Neb.Briij.-Ge- n. Francis V. Greene is in com-
mand of the expedition. His Adjutant-Gener-al
is Capt. Ba!cs, of the 71st N. Y.OUAIN-TAXAM-
O BAY.News via Kingston says that the Span-
iards renewed their attack on the marinesencamped on a hill near Guantanamo Bayon Sunday evening about 8 o'clock, andcontinued it until about ll o'clock Mondaymorning. The fire was incessant and attimes very heavy.
On the American side two men werokilled and four injured. The dead are:Serg't-Ma- j. Henry Goode, of the marines,shot through the right breast; PrivateTauman. wounded and fell off the cliffand was instantly killed.
The injured arc: Private Wallace, felloff the cliff and sustained a fracture of thaleg; Private Martin--, Co. D, shot throughthe left leg; Private TJo.xhury, Co. D, shotthrough the arm; Private Burke, shotthrough the arm.
Lieut. Neville, of Co. D, was sent out onscout duty, and, as on the day previous,attacked a small stone fort. A hot fighlfollowed, and the Spaniards were drivenoft with loss. It was during this fightthat Wallace and Tauman fell over thocliff. Eighteen dead Spaniards, includingone Lieutenant, were found in the fort.
From the accounts the camp of thmarines is so situated that the Spaniardscan crawl up through the brush to within30 yards of it, but it was decided to movethe camp, and the marines took a lessexposed position on the low land alongfthe beach, where they were better sup-ported by the war vessels, yet in a danger-ous situation.
LEATE AT LAST.
All the transport, fleet at Tampa finallygot away to-da-y, Gen.. Shatter and atarileaving on the last vessel about 0 a. m.There were 35 transports, four tenders, and
JL4 convoys. The latter included the Indiana, Detroit, Scorpion, Helena, Castine,Annapolis, Hornet, Manning, Bancroft,Wampatuck, Eagle, and Wasp.
The sailing directions were to pass tothe southeast until Cape San Antonio, .
which is the western extremity of Cuba,was doubled, and then-hea- straight forSantiago.
naval curncisu.There was naturally considerable talk
in naval circles and some of it of thomost vigorous character at the delay inthe arrival of the troops. It became knownthat not only had Admiral Sampson re-peatedly cabled urgent appeals for mili-tary assistance, as has been previouslystated, but that he had also been in-formed on more than one occasion thatthe troops were to depart within 2t hours.It is said that no less than three timeshad his hopes been thus raised, only tcbe dashed to the ground again by announcements of further delay.
In fact, the bombardment of Santiago,begun many days ago, was said to be withthe full understanding on Admiral Samp-son's part that the troops were about toleave Tampa, and that they would joinhim by tlie time he had completed thework of reducing the fortifications. Thisis said also to explain why the marino3were sent ashore.
TORTO EICO EXPEDITION".
The expedition to Santiago being underway, the military authorities have turnedtheir attention to the invasion of PortoRico. This second expedition has beenactually in progress for two weeks or more,but it has necessarily been somewhatneglected in the engrossing attention whichthe Santiago affair has demanded.
The Porto Rican expedition may leavefrom Fernandina, a point on the Atlanticcoast of Florida, near Jacksonville, andfrom which the transports can sail in anabsolutely straight southeasterly line toSan Juan, the distance being about 1,000miles, or fully 400 miles shorter than ifthe departure were to be made from Tampa.
The force destined for Porto Rico willaggregate 20,000 men. For the convey-ance of this large army additional trans-ports will have to be chartered.
The transports which have gone toSantiago will not be available for thosecond expedition, as they are to be heldat Santiago instead of returning to thoAmerican port. The reason for this istwofold. In the first place, it is deemedbest not to separate the army from itsmeans of transportation, as it might bonecessary to move the troops at shortnotice to some other part of the island.
No military disaster is feared, but shouldthe campaign at Santiago become pro-longed, and an epidemic of fever threaten,the men will not be unnecessarily exposedto danger. In addition to this the shipsmay .also be needed . to convey to somopoint on the Atlantic coast the Spanishprisoners who will undoubtedly be takenin large numbers. It is not proposed tohold and feed the captured men in Cuba,a course which would necessitate thesending of supplies to .them, and the re-
tention of a large part of the army toguard them.
TROOPS FP.OJr ClIICKAMAUGA.
Orders were sent to-da- y to Gen. Brooke,at Chickamauga, to at once prepare 15,000troops for active service. There are nowJL'.OUO men at Camp Thomas, but none ofthe regiments is completely equipped,and. a number of them fall below the re-
quired standard as to numbers.WEDNESDAY, JUNE 15.
ANOTHER FIGHT NEAR GUANTANAMO.
News arrived via Kingston of anotherfight between the marines and Spaniardson Tuesday, in which the marines turnedthe tables "very effectively on their bush-whacking assailants. Though they hadbeen harried by .the lurking enemy forover lOO.hours, the heat was terrible, andthe rank growth of brush and cactusterribly difficult to force their way throughthey lesjxmded enthusiastically to ordersfor an aggressive movement. The planwas to hunt Spaniards awhile, instead oiletting the Spaniards hunt them. Fouiscouting parties were organized.
