If that understanding incorrect, the probability of an early vasion of Cuba is strong. It is not unlikely that the movement of troops, which has been delayed from time to time, will begin this week, aud that before the end of the week the United States forces will have obtained a substantial foothold upon Cuban soil. No Information is obtainable as to the intentions of Commodore Schley. Whather he will endeavor to forcu an entrance to the bay and seek a battle with the Spanish squadron, is not known, but such a course at present is not regarded as likely. It would be better, in the opinion of some naval olUcials, to keep Cervera and his vessels safely in the harbor, where they are as absolutely useless as they would be at th bottom of the sen. 1 ( umli-rtakin- latu-nes- Wealthy sheepmen of Mt.

Advices from Havana say an engagement has takco place between the fortifications lining the channel-leadinto the harbor of Santiago and twelve American warships. The Spanish fleet assisted the forts. The firing was heavy, but as the engagement progressed the firing was directed more at the fleet and less at the forts, which indicate that the latter were destroyed. Punta Carda is well in the harbor and having passed this there would remain nothing hut the Spanish fleet to be disposed of. The cable was still working from Pantingo as late as (5:40 p. m., and private messages indicate that there had been a serious light. The advantage appears to have been with the Americans, but nothing tangible can be seemed from Spanish sources. According to one dispatch a battle between the two fleets in the harbor w as in progress. SANTIAGO ND PORTO RICO. lader EXPOSITION The military Washington, May of Cuba has begun. The deti invaai nite location of Cervera s tleet, which, so far aa it is an active force in war, mifht as well be at the bottom of the mi as bottled up in Santiago naroor, Iras removed the only barrier to an active and aggressive campaign. Tw of the largest and swiftest transport that could be gathered at Tampa, Mobile and New Orleans have been loaded with their human freight and are well on their way to Cuba. Their dsstination has not been announced and will not be until a lauding is effected. From the ports of embarkation the troops, estimated to be about 30. nod, proceeded direct to Key West, where Sampson's powerful fleet awaited to 0OnTOy them to a landing place prevt 0uly selected. It is probable that there will be no lfss than four separate military ditions, and that these will be landed at four different points. Whether Port0 Ri(.0 js oue 0f these points or not pannot be learned. Before the entire force which it is proposed to use in Cuba can be landed, the transports piuat make four separate voyages ftcross the straits. Arrangements have been made to utilize the services of tha insurgents to the largsst possible extent. The government already has sent expeditions to a large number of points on the island and us led arms for the insurgents. Most of the parties succeeded perfectly in their object, and it is 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 his entire staff have hurriedly left Washington for Tampa, to direct the invasion. His final instructions have been given him. Conjectures have been advanced that Santiago will be the first place to fall. enty- -five , OPENED, SPAIN'S THIRD FLEET. mid-we- y 100.-00- bat-tallo- la. Ttttttv s Thounantl Men, ia nber.

Jane 2 For the fcrst tims since the beginning of hostilities there appears to b something in the nature of an ortieial statement of the plan of campaign of the United States This is contained In a i jvernment. letter of Secretary Alger to the speak- er of the bouse, transmitting certain reoommendations and statements of (ieneral Ludlow, which disclosed the purpos of the war department to send 70,000 men to Cuba, 30,000 to start at 0D0 and the remainder just as soon as they can be made ready for departure. g Then there was an estimate for electrical communication in conueetloa with the army "In f uba I'orto Eico and the Philippines," showing for the first time oflicially an implied intention on the part of the government to land (ro ps In I'orto Kico. Of course all these movements hav been anticipated by the press, but nevertheless a strong element of doubt existed and therefore an official statement of the government's purposes, made even in this indirect fashion, created a profound sensation here. The three are to go together, Cuba, Porto Kicoand the Philippines. Inasmuch as the secretary says that the second contingentof troops is togo as soon as they can be pre- pared, a good deal of interest is at- tioned to an order that has been made at the war department, providing for the organization of the 75,000 addl- tional volunteers called for. The order officially established the sta'enents heretofore made in Tuesday's dispatches, that a large proportion of the new meu are to be used to fill up the existing regiments of volunteers,which are, in most cases, deficient in numbers.
