There seems to be an impression
among members of the First regiment
that Columbia and Columbians have II
in for that organization. 1t is often
asked, even by officers, "Why have
the people of Columbia got it in for
our regiment ?"
The people of the city have no i'll
feeling for the regiment and never
show any. The officer who asks these
questions, when pinned to the point
can never cite single instance where
the command has been sighted. All
of the i'll feelings put off on Columbis

WASHINGTON, May 2O.-More than
80 regiments Of the volunteer army
either have started for or reached the
mob.lizing points to which they were
directed to proceed by the secretary of
war. Fifteen or twenty other regi.
acnts haye reported their readiness to
start for such points. In order to
avoid confusion at the camp and any
congestion in the railroad traffic, the
war department officials are deferring
giving orders for number Of the vol.
unteer regiments to start. The volun.
teers mustered TO date number $4,000
men. All the regiments which were
directed to 90 to San Francisco, except
those from North and South Dakota.
have left their local rendczv ousinc

in Cuba

in Cuba.
New YORK, May 2O-A special to
The Times from Washington says:
The plans for the invasion Of Cuba by
the United States forces remain un.
changed. The elusive performances of
the Spanish squadron have postponed
the execution of 4 part at least Of the
programme. but it had been altered in
no important particular. The deter.
mination to dispatch to the island as
soon as practicable an army Of not less
than so 900 men competent 70 meet and
cope with the forces Of Blanco still
stands. But the time has not yet come
when it is practical! be to do this. for the
simple reason that the army is not
ready to be sent to Cuba. The Is, 600
regulars massed at Tampa are pre-.
pared to 60 anywhere at any time.
The majority of the volunteers gather
ing Mt Tampa. New Orleans, Mobile
and Chickamauga are not prepared to
90 anywhere, and will not be until
they are uniformed, armed, equipped
and have some training in the art OF
war. All of this will take time. The
best judgment Of military experts is
that it will require not less than
month under the most favorable cir.
cumstances to put $4,000 volunteers in
condition to reinforce the regulars for
the army of Cuban invasion.
1t is thought by many trained oifi'
GERS that more time than that ought to
and is likely to be taken.
One Portion May BE Executed.
There is one portion of the Cuban
programme, however, which may not
be DELAYED much longer. That is the
despatching of an expedition, made up
almost, if not entirely. of regulars from
the Tampa camp to make landing on
the Cuban coast, throw up fortltica.

WASHINGTON, May 20.-A number Of

admission of new organizations of vol.
