In hasty word or frown;

LATEST WAR NEWS.

An army of 10000 will invade
Cuba. 10000 to go at once and the
others to follow as rapidly as pos
sible.
The government has received no
advices about the fight at Santiago,
but believe that Commodore Schley
battered the Notifications.
Extravagant rumors are in circu-
lation, but none of them have been
verified.
The Philadelphia Record gave a
detailed and minute account OF
Commodore Schley entering the
Santiago harbor and fighting the
Spanish squadron up to e o'clock P.
m. on Tuesday, but no confirmation
of this news has been received.
The rumor that Capt. Sigsbee had
captured the AlphonsO XIII, with
one million in gold on board, was
very encouraging, but lacks confrma'
ton.

WAR ITEMS.

1t is now definitely known that the
Spanish squadron, commanded by
Cervera is in Santiago harbor
Commodore Schley's squadron is
on the outside and the Spanish fleet
is now considered almost harmless.
The embarkation of troops Tor
Cuba commenced on Monday morn
ing, at Tampa, Florida.
1t is thought that as many as four
landings will be made. Where they
will be, the public has not been III
formed.
Everything is reported quiet at
Manila. United States troops are on
the way to the Philippine islands.
Gen. Lee will form the seventh
army corps at Jacksonville.
Arrangements have been made by
which Nebraska will be allowed to
contribute under the second call the
regiment of which William Jennings
Bryan will be colonel. Governor
Stephens, of Missouri, offered to make
Mr.. Bryan colonel of a Missouri regl-
ment, but Mr.. Bryan replied that ne
preferred to stay with his Nebraska
boys.
The steamer Florida has returned
to Key West after landing her ex-
petition about seventy-fve miles east
of Havana. She safely delivered a
large stock of war munitions to the
insurgents.
Rumors in Spain point to the fact
that the country is weary ofwar. If a
statesman were bold enough to pro-
pose an honorable peace it Is believed
that there would be big change in
the situation.

SAN1IAtO AM ~ OAeAN
RICO.
New York, May 3O.-The Herald's
Washington correspondent says;
United States troops are being EN-
barkrd at Tampa tonight for the first
active land campaign against the
Spanish army.
Naturally, the officials of the War
Department and high officials of the
army are reticent as to the destlna-
ton of this expedition and the de-
tails of the plan of campaign. The
weight of opinion in well-intormed
circles is that it is the purpose Of the
administration to make the capture
or destruction of Admiral Cervera's
feet a certainty by combined land
and sea attack on Santiago de Cuba.
There are also rumors that the
troops will invade Porto Rico.
FEW VOLUNTEERS INCLUDED.
General Skaters troops will be
nearly all regulars. Probably not
more than two of the best organized
and equipped volunteer regiments
now at Tampa will be embraced in
his command.
The transports will carry large
quantities ofammunition and of every
kind of supplies that will be needed
by an army in the field. In addition
to the field guns Of the artillery |
understand that the expedition will
carry a number of siege guns, such as
would be useful in attacking the
Spanish Notifications or firing on a
feet in the harbOr.
If this is the plan that is to be
pursued it is not probable that there
will be any fighting in the neighbor-
hood Of Santiago de Cuba before the
end of the present week. 1t will
take some days for the transports to
reach Santiago. More time will be
required for the troops to reach a
position in the interior from which
they can advance upon the Spanish
forces.
ARTILLERY CAN BE USED ON CEvERA.
The topography of the country
about Santiago is such as to make the
movementscFan army with artillery
and supply trains difficult, but there
is reason to believe that the plans
contemplate landing at place from
which the march of the troops will
be comparatively short.

General Corbin said today that l2l,-

for the visit of the mastering officers.
All the States and Territories have
filled their quotas so far as the re-
cruiting of troops is concerned. While
three States are apparently behind, 1t
was not their fault but is due to the
inability of the mastering officers to
complete their work.
The apparent shortage is divided
among Iowa, Mississippi and North
Carolina. The troops of those States
are in camp awaiting the action OF
the governments officers, and will be
mustered into the volunteer army in
a few days.
