Twenty-f- of tbe largest and swiftest transports that conld be gathered at ive Tampa, Mobile and New Orleans have been loaded with their human freight and are well on their way to Cuba. Their destination has not been announced and will not bo until a landing is effected. From the ports of embarkation tho troops, estimated to le about 30,000, proceeded direct to Key West, where Sampson's powerful fleet awaited to convoy them to a landing place previously selected. It ia probable that there will be no less than four separate military expeditions, and that these will be landed at four different points. Whether Porto Rico is one of these points or not cannot be learned. Hefore the entire force which it is proposed to use in Cuba can be landed, the transports must make four separate voyages across the straits. Arrangements have been made to utilize the services of the insurgents to the largest passible extent The government already has sent expeditions to a large number of points on the Island and landed arms for the insurgents. Most of the parties succeeded perfectly in their object, and it ia said at the war department that a sufficient number of the insurgents have been armed to constitute a very effective support for the troops as they land. General Miles and bis entire staff have hurriedly left Washington for Tampa, to direct the invasion, nis final instructions have been given him.

A dispatch to the On Old Daily Chronicle from Barcelona, referrof the formation of a third Spanish fleet, including tho Nnmancia, under the heading A Resurrection Ship, says: The Nnmancia is here, her bulwarks . battered, her anchors and chains thick with rust and her paint all gone. Ap-parently she does not carry a single gun. I am not sure whether she has engines. Beyond a few sentries she certainly has no crew. A small gang of men are hammering, swabbing and. painting, and marines from Cartbugcna have icen ordered here to do the work of patching up. Though official announcements say the reserve fleet, including the Nu- mancla, is to go to the Philippines, the orders for the 7,000 men who were to have gone with it are now definitely ing to the Spanish announcement -- ' countermanded.
