TO SANTIAGO.
Said to Have Left Florida
Coast.

WASHINGTON, June 2.-The first
part of the expedition to San tisgo de
Cuba is reported to have left the Flor
ida coast. The transport vessels bear
ing the expedition left Tampa "a hours
ago, although the goverument officials
at Washingto ton will say nothing on the
subject.
It is presumed the transports are
lying off Key West awaiting the sec-
ond detachment of the expedit on. TIE
first detachment consisted, it is said, OF
battalion of engineers, siege guns to
be used in occupying the
hills near Santiago, field trains, and
it is believed. q few info ontry men. The
storming of the forts two days ago was
doubtless preliminary to the landing
of the military forces.

Paul off Santiago de Cuba, eight days
ago. This action was taken to save
The COVE nment from being Hesced by
speculators.
The Ro-termel carries 1000 tons of
coal. but suspicious acts make the nav
al officials be lieve that guns and AM
muni ion for the Spanish are buried
underneath. The captain of the Ros
termel made q big fuss. and some Of
the crew broke the hosting cranes,
SO that the cargo could not be taken
out.
Judge Locke will condemn the cargo
today, but may releass the ship. The
captain admits he had coal.
The Alphonso XIII was warned by
the Brit sh consul at San Juan not to
ro"eed.
KEY WEST, June 2.-Judge Locke,
in the Uoited States district court this
morning, rendered decision releasing
the ste mer Rostermel, but condemn
ing her cargo of coal. The Rostermel
was captured off Santiago by the
cruiser ST. Paul, while she was trying

WASHINGTON, June 2.-The decision
of the administration to send military

take the reduction of San Juan is at
tributed largely to the influence OF

begun. ...s-ftg
Secretary Alger and the principal
adv :sers Of the president do not favor
the Porto Rico idea but the president
was early impressed With the feasibil-
,ty and desirsbility of securing the is
land.
Gen. Miles is the principal advocate
OF this project. He is joined by Day,
who adde diplomatic reasons to those
advanced by the military establish
ment, which make the, capture of San
