Washington, June 1.-THE first army
of invasion to Cuba is now well on its
way, 20 transport steamships, bearing
over $4,000 officers and men, conveyed
by battleships, cruisers, gunboats and
auxiliary cruisers, 16 in number, hav-
ing actually sailed from Key West at
daybreak Monday morning. An au-
thoritative statement TO this effect was
made at the war department, setting at
rest all reports that the expedition was
on its way, or had landed last week.
The authorities made he announcement
for the reason that the time for secrecy
was now past, as the scout boats had
made sure that the path was clear be-
fore 1t and that no possible menace could
come from the Spanish ships or troops,
even should they know our forces were
advancing against them. The grand
total of the expedition is 773 officers and
IA, 564 enlisted men.
The completeness with which the
transport of troops has been planned is
shown in the official list of transport
vessels given ont at the war depart
meut. OF this list, "a large steamships
varying from 4,10O tons down 10 COO

ship went ashore Saturday morning
and occupied the left entrance of the
bay until the troopship Panther ar
rived with GOO marines. These under
the command of Lieut.. Col. r. w. Hunt

No attempt to land was made until
the Oregon steamed in early Saturday
morning. Capt Clark Immediately sent
40 marines ashore, and 20 from the
Marb!ehead followed. They found evil
dence of a very hasty departure by the
Spaniards. Watches, hammocks and
ammunition were scattered about the
earthworks and a Spanish flag was
found in one of the rifle pits. The little
detachment of marines held the place
until the Panther arrived, when they
were recalled, and the work of disem-
barking began. The first boat load had
scarcely landed when the village burst
into flames. Company 3, under Lieut..
Hal, was the first ashore, and without
the loss of moment the column start
Cd up the steep, rocky hillside to the
aarthworl1s. For an hour a brown
column of marines filed up the narrow
path, eventually taking up position a
the top of the hill. As soon as the Amer
Jean flag was swung out to the breeze
from the flagstaff Of the captured Span
ish camp, the Oregon steamed away to
reioin the fleet off Santiago.
The marines win hold the position
until the arrival of the expected troops,
in the meantime scouting the vicinity,
with the Marblehead, Vixen and Dol
phin lying by to protect them.
Rear admiral Sampson now has mar
Dor and base of supplies on the south
side of the island, and troops can be
