No Time will be Wasted in Effecting a Landing—Expeditions from Several Points in America are Also on Their Way Hither, and, if Miles Needs More Troops, He Will Get Them. Washington, July 21—General Miles, leading the military expe dition against Porto Rico, started at 3 o’clock this afternoon from Siboney, Cuba, for the point on the island of Porto Rico, where it is the intention that the troops shall land. It is expected that Gen. Miles will wait at some ap pointed spot on the route for the expeditions from Tampa, Newpirt News and New York, to fall into his column. These expeditions are already under way, some of them with two or three days start of Gen. MiLs, so that the delays should not be very great. After all the difficulty about the naval convoy, and the first conclusion of the naval authoritiea that none was necessary, the strength of that now furnished is surprising. There is a battleship of the first class, the Massachusetts; an effective protected cruiser, the Cincinnatti; a speedy and well armored gun boat, the Annapolis, and four ves sels of the auxiliary navy which have already proved by their per formances in Cuban waters that they are fully equal to the ordi nary gunboat in offensive power. These are the Gloucester, which distinguished herself in the de struction of Cervera’s squadron; je Wasp, which has attained an enviable notoriety aa a disturber of Spanish blockhouses; the Ley- len, which for a time was the sol power in Havana harbor, and the Dixie. Secretary Alger believes that Gen. Miles on the Yale will arrive at his destination Sunday morning with 3,000 men under his immediate command. A day later will come 4,000 men on transports and the day following that 3,500 more. Whether the lauding will be deferred until the arrival of this entire force or whether Gen. Miles will take the initiative and hoist the flag him self on Porto Rican soil is left to the discretion of that officer. It is the departments’s determina tion that he shall not lack for troops or equipment, and this first expedition may be followed by several others as fast as the troops can be gotten ready until word comes from the general that he needs no more. Gen. Schwan’s brigade compria- ing the Fifth, Eleventh and Nine teenth United States infantry, a splendid body of trained soldiers, sailed from Tampa to-day to join Gen. Miles and if the Porto Rican expedition is not an immediate success it will not be for lack of disposition in the war department to supply every requisite. i ^M> s Our baby has been continually troubled with cclic and cholera infantum since his birth, and all that we could do for him did not aeem to give more tham temporary relief, until we tried Chamberlain’s Colic, Coholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.

Washington, July 21.—The authoritative declaration was made to-day that the island of Porto Rica is to be held as a permanent possession of this country as the price of the war. The subjoined practically official statement was made to the Associated Press to* day: “Porto Rica will be kept by the United States. This is set tled and has been the plan from the first. Once taken it will never be released. It will pass forever intoj the hands of the ^United States and there never has been any other thought, its possession will go toward making np the heavy expenses of war to the United States. Our flag once run up there will float over the island permanently.” The same authority lays the future of the Philippines is a matter of development and that so far there is no certain policy finally adopted regarding these islands. It was intimated, however, though not dafinitely asserted, that the Ladrone islands might follow the fate of Porto Rica and become our permanent possession being valuable as a coaling and supply station for our ahips when en route to eastern Asia.

The Carnival Score* Another Sucre**-Bev elling* of the May (fuecn and Drill of the Nation*. Another success was scored last night at the Farmers’ Warehouse. The carnival was repeated without the bicyole drills, the taking fea tures being "Revels of the May Queen,” Drill of the Nations” and a cake walk. A large number of people came out, and among them were noticed several from Darlington. It was an appreciative crowd, for time and again they applauded the graceful movements of the drills. Midst flowers and with her fairies the May Queen ‘revelled gloriously. This was an attrac tive (picture. Forty or fifty boys and girls costumed beauti fully took part. They sang aud danced aronud the May pole, they engaged in dialogue and marched and counter-marched around the room—and all of them were as pretty as they could be. They were trained by Mrs. J. L. Bar ringer, and to her skill is due their graceful success. The drill of the nations was a splendid thing. Young ladies en gaged in this. They were appro priately and gtrikiugly costumed and carried the flags of the various nat : ons. Th^y advanced in twos, threes and fours from the end of the hall (moving and posing gracefully, $ud last of all came ‘ Columbia,/the gem of the Ocean.” Then they .formed into line and commanded by Mr. Harry Stau- naid were drilled iu military field movements. At the commands they mkrehed by twos, four*, platoons, aud formed company front. They responded without mistake to each command, and, in fact, performed the evolutions with the skill of trained soldiers. A gentleman was heard to say, ‘ These would do to send to Cuba.” About ten young people entered the cake walk, and it being im possible to name the winner the calge was given them all. luring the evening refreshments w^re served by the Labor Day as- iation. % ' : .
