Sampson is Too Slow. President Issued Orders That Pot a Stop to All Foolish? ness About Proper Convoy Per Trans? ports. Washington, .Joly 21.-president McKinley was thoroughly aroused over the delay which occurred in the starting ol Gen M ?les and the expe? dition under hie command for Porto Rico For several days Gen. Miles and bis troops were aboard their trans? port? at Playa del Bite awaiting the naval convoy which waa to be for nisbed by Admiral Sampson. The troops had been sweltering in the crowded ?bips ander the broiling heat of a tropical son, while Gen Miles bad been chafing under what he be lie ved to be inexcusable delay and was bombarding the ?jr department with dispatches orgin^in the strong eat terms that tbe navy be burri**d in Its preparation for the expedition instructions of the most positive nate re bad been cabled to Admiral Sampson to ?apply the necessary convoys for Gen Miles* transports, bat notwithstanding these inst ruc lions Admiral Sampson proceeded with hin preparations for the exped? > tion with a deliberation that exas? perated tbe officials here ? The President, who has been g:v ing tbe Porto Rican expedition his personal attention-as he. bas given, indeed, all phases of the war-finally became deeply concerned lest the part of the Porto Rican expedition that bas already sailed from thin country should arrive at the point of rendezvous in advance of Gen Miles and tbe navy lt is feared that if Geis. Wilson's command, which sail? ed yesterday from Charleston should arrive in advance of Gen Miles and the naval ^convoys, -erious danger and possibly disaster might result, as Gen. Wilson's ships are absolutely without protection Fully appreciating these facts and realizing the necessity for prompt action in getting Gen Mile?.and his Coban expedition started, President /McKinley this morning issued per ' sons! orders through the secretary of the nary to Admirai ampson that he should proceed immediately to Porto Rico with Gen Miles. The Presi dent's orders were susceptible of uo misconstruction They were impera? tive to a degree seldom employed except in cases of extreme emer? gency. They were of the sort that will brook no delay in their execu tion Concerning the naval convoys of Gen Miles' expedition the navy department to night made public the ioliowing statement : "Admiral Samp son telegraphed this afternoon to the secretery of the navy that there has been no delay in famishing ample convoy to Gen Miles A day or two ago the Cincinnati and New Orleans were both placed at bis disposal. .The Columbia and Yale, carrying troops, are both powerfully armed/ says the Admiral's telegram ; and 'this its an ample convoy for his expe? dition and to effect his landing The Annapolis, Wasp and Lyden have been ordered from Key West. Under these circumstances, there certainly has beeu no iack of naval assistance If Gen Mile? preferred tc wait, the delay was his own. However, in further answer to his re? quest, the Massachusetts and Dixie were also added this morning, and he bas probably started This statement shows that Gen Mile?: will be backed in effecting hie landing on Porto Rican aoil by a strong squadron of the navy In addition to the vessels named in the statement, it is officially admitted for the first time that powerful monitors Terror, Amphitnte and Ubau at Key Weat are under orders to pro ceed to Porto Rico to assist io the reduction ot'the Spanish forces thete It is known also not to be unlikely -indeed, it is probable-that still otber vesnels of Admiral Sampson's fleet will participate in the reduction of the fortifications of San Juan This was indicated C'eaiiy by Secre tary Long's statement this afternoon concerning the sailing of Commodore Watson's eastern squadron to Spain In the course of this statement the secretary said the eastern squadron would be "sent to Spain later, when the forto Rican camp&i^a permits v lt seems clear that some, at least, of the vessels will be employed in the bombardment of the fortifications of Porto Rico's principal city A Clever Trick.

One of the meanest of all the mean methods now in use in the peculiarly mean and disgusting State campaign now in progress in South Carolina is th? attempt of some newspapers and politicians tu give the public the im? pression thai Uncle George Tillman is in bis dotage It is an old trick of caliow and shallow fellows whoe beards and ideas are unsprcuted to hint that every man with a gray hair in his chin has become feeble minded. The troth is Uncle George is a thir teen inch gnu and it is hard for him to get down to a one pounder range Ile has big ideas and likes to go to the bottom of things Ile cannot make one of these chipper, glib lit? tle fifteen min?te speeches consisting of a personal puff, two anecdotes, a compliment for the women and a siice of Sunday school addresses for the babies He thinks and he tries to make others think and he ia slow of speech anyhow He can't turn himse'f around in fifteen minutes, and in trying to harry and touch on all the points he wishes to cover in that time he get? imo trouble Nobody can read one of his written addresses or letter? on pending topics and doubt that his mind is aa clear a* crystal and as vigorous as it was twenty yeats ago Uncle George is about TO rears old He has used entirely too much tobacco, and his bands shake as if he had palsy, and we doubt if he can now jump up and crack his heels to gether twice as he did a few years ago when somebody suggested that he ?vas not active enough to be in politics Ye! he thinks clearly, strongly, honestly and fearlessly, and he can write and speak as he thinks Nobody can frighten or cajole him. He is intellectually in his prime.
