Porto Eic* to be Taken Next rn Thought That Resista nea Wi il Not Amount To Very Mach. Gen. Miles Will Command the Army of 25,000. - Washington, Joly 14 -Tbs first chapter io tbe land campafgo of tbe United States s gainst Sputa closed to? day when the Spanish color? gave place over Santiago to the American Sag. Nert will follow the transportation of the Spanish troop* back to their native land aaa the captare of tbe islatid of Porto Rico, unless peace soon inter .feces. The ?ieee of Santiago bad lasted two week? ?nd waa remarkable io mary re ?pects and io non* more than tbe heavy percentage of losa through death, wounds or sickness of the soldier* and sailors engaged on both aide? Look iog baek over the record of these two weeks it is seen that a great ironclad squadron baa been destroyed, chat nearly a thousand aoidiers have died ia the tra ooh ea of Santiago On tbe other baod about 250 American soldiers have been killed, and in round numbera 2,? OOO more have been sent to tba .hoppi tala from wounds, fevers and ot be;- ail menta. Our seat had a remarkable ex emption from disaster in tbe macy en? gagements it bad with tbe forts at the entrance of the harbor and wi'fr tbe Spanish squadron. "Next is Porto Rico," said Secretary Alger, after receiving the news of San? tiago's formal surrender, **aod then, if used be, Habana v Tbe secretary was in excellent ?pirits He bas been more anxious than he dared phots as ro the condition of nor side ? Didiers and locked with apprebeo opoo tbe possibility of a prorogation of thc struggle in the unheaithy valley of Santiago The secretary paid that tbe Porto Rican expedition would go forward iai roedt&tely. lt wiii comprise new men entirely. The warriors in the tranches before Santiago have distinguished themselves sad it ts not deemed prudent to bring them io unnecessary contact wit?? new troops ia view of tbe dangar of spreading contagion The sick sr 1 diets will be nursed back to health and brought to the United States as soon a? they caa be safely removed laira un <? regimen?s will be ordered to Santiago to garrison the town, aod, as stated io these d'sparcbes yesterday, two o th es ? regiments are already under orders <o proceed. The Porto Rican expedition will be commanded by Gen. Miles in per son, .though Gen Brooke? now in command at Camp Thomas, is ex peel ed to be bia main dependence Tbe size ol the expedition will de pen ? upon Gen. Miles' wishes, al thoDgh it is believed that 25,000 men will be sufficient for tbe purpose At San Juan the navy wi?l be of greater assistance than it was at S arl iago, owing to the possibility of approach? ing the town , more closely without risking contact with mines Gen. Brooke is now on bis way to Wash? ington by direction of Secretary Al ger. so that he wilt be in a position to make bis views known to the de part ment. The experience gained in dispatching Sbafter's expedition is expected will aid tbe officials in their determination to make short work of the Porto Rican affair There will be plenty of transports available for tbe expedition, a? the government bas devised otbei means of removing the Spaniards captured at Santiago to Spain than by carrying them on these transports That the navy is ready to do its share at short notice goes without saying Porto Rico is not expected to offer a very formidable resistance lt ia believed that the morai effect of to day's surrender at Santiago will b*> to discourage the defender? of San Juan There is, however* always the prospect that peace may ensue before hostilities have progressed against Spain's easternmost West India islands Rumors were afloat this afternoon to the effect that the Spanish government at last had made overtures in that direction, but their basis probably was the current be? lief that one more reverse to the Spanish arms would be sufficient to compel the Spanish government to sue for peace, and this reverse was furnished by the surrender of Torsi's army. Tbe navy department has not been affected by these rumors to the ex tent of relaxing any of its precau tiona or abandoning any of its plans for Secretary Long stated uuequivo cally today that Commodore Watson's eastern squadron would certainly go to Spain as soon as it could sail Look ! 4 stitch ia Time.
