TROOPS FOR CUBA.

World from Tampa. Florida. says:
\ rumor is in circulation here 10 the

bans as the Cuban junta can gather here
will leave Tuesday night for Matanzas
for the invasion OF Cuba. The World cor
respondents information says that an
army officer told him that he had seen
an order from the secretary of war or
dering the troops to move Tuesday night,
MatanZas being their objective point. The
transports are expected Tuesday,
II is known that of the thirty days
ratons given out few days ago, none
is being used and the regimental officers

1t was previous to this visit to Gomez
that Frost was arrested. He was put
under guard az Matanzas and tried be-
fore a drumhead court martial He was
convicted and sent to MORO castle at
Havana with forty other prisoners bur
was released three days later through
the efforts Of General Lee. He was
few days later again arrested and con-
fined three hours in the guardhouse at
Morro until word was sent by General
Lee to release him. During his three
days confinement he says many prisoners
were shot, and he and his companions
expected TO meet the same fate. After
that he was constantly under survell-
lance while in Havana. Mr.. Frost was
in Havana the day Of General Lees de-
parture and went out Of the harbor on
the same boat. though he returned a
few days later to visit General Gomez.
Since the departure Of General Lee the
lives OF Americans in Havana, he says.

New York. May 2-While the squadron
is cruising on the Cuban coast with little
incident save the capture OF an ocea-
slonal fishing smack and the officers are
retting over their role in the peaceful
blockade. progress continues TO be made
for united action for the army and navy,
saws the Key West correspondent OF the
Tribune II this does not mean an early
landing OF United States troops at some
Yoint. all signs are misleading. Whether
at MatanZas or elsewhere is question
Admiral SIMPSONS action in silencing
the Matanzas batteries was not in pur-
suance OF definite orders from Washing
ton to make a breach but the result has
been the same. breach in the Spanish
coast defenses is made. Ships lying well
inshore between Havana and Matanzas
report that cavalry forces are increasing.
The evidences are that the insurgents
are pressing them more closely. lnsurg-
ents who are believed to be In Betan-
courts command are seen at times on
the hills and in good position to make
an attack In the rear whenever the troops
are occupied with repulsing marines and
soldiers from the warships. All the ef-
forts of the vessels of the squadron TO
draw the Spanish gunboats out from their
hiding places in the bays have been fu-
tile The refusal Of the members Of the
hospital corps of the regular army sup
plements the work that has already been
undertaken. The field hospital service
is well organized. The presence OF the
aides on General Miles stan and mem
bers of the signal corps is a further ndi-
cation Of the preparations for the regu-
lar troops to cooperate with the naval
forces. The experiment of forming Gu
ban regiments to reinforce the insurgents
seems likely to succeed. The iunta in
New York asked for 800 recruits from
Key West to be men without families
and capable of supporting themselves.
The recruiting list which has been opened
is fairly well filled. BY the time the
transport leaves here Tor Tampa the
quota will probably be completed. The
recruits are for the most part of good
physical type. Few of them, however
have had military training, The under
standing is that the United States will
provide them with arms ammunition and
partial ratons and will land them in
Cuba, where they will Join Gomez. They
are to chose their own officers, who are
to be Cubans, This may be a good pro-
vision hut the military efficiency of these
Cuban regiments would be vastly in
creased il they had some American OFF,
Ger to drill them.

THE ARMY OF INVASION.

Washington, May when asked II the
army was preparing for an invasion of
cuba at an early date. Secretary OF War
Alger replied;
1--WE are preparing for immediate action
and we try to Keep so prepared, but plans
made today may Of necessity have to be
changed tomorrow, and that is why We
are compelled to keep such absolute sill
ence, for every detail that becomes doubt
ful necessitates another change"
The president has decided that there
shall be five army corps of three divis-
ions each. While this feature of the or
ganzation may be changed, there is no
likelihood of 1t, since It has the sanction
of the military authorities, This will
give the president an opportunity to APP
point maior-generals, five in command
of army corps, one of which General
Rodge has declined, and fifteen in COM
mand of divisions Each division will
he composed of three brigades which will
make commissions for forty-tive briga-
dlers Each brigade will he composed of

Frost has returned to his home after a
six months visit in Cuba. During that
time he was engaged in fllibustering, was
twice arrested and confined in Moro
