across the Island; from San Juan. The
road'between the two placesis good in
either rainy or dry season. It is un

directly by General Miles, will - await
the Porto Rican representatives under

near Ponce. - - -. - . .
i 'Thenext expedition will land in Fa--

the third expedition will land in one of
the small play as ; on the north coast,
where there is no port. . From here they
will besiege and cut off .the retreat of
ihe Spanish forces. If the expeditions
land on the three sides of the Island,
they will form a xircld i around v Porto
Rico, and within fifteen days General
Miles will control the entire country.
The cable starts from Ponce and goes
directly to Santomas. - As General
Miles now probably has control of the
cable in Ponce, he can communicate
directly; with the United ' States, via
Galveston." This cable; "however, has no
