First Dispatches to the War
Department Expected in
a Few Days.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, April 2S.-First
Lieutenant Andrew S. Rowan OF tho
Tenth infantry, under orders from the
war department., was landed on tho
Cuban coast somewhere west of San.
tiago, probably before dawn on Mon.
day. His Cuban guides and an open
sailboat were used The guides have
not returned.
Lieutenant Rowan is on his way to
the camp of General Calixto Garcia.
He will represent the war department.
in arranging for the corporation Of the
insurgents in the invasion of Eastern
Cuba by the forces of the United
States. The time and place of invasion
will be controlled by events and the
character of Lieutenant Rowan's dis.
patches.
The Work Very Dangerous.
Lieutenant Rowan was detailed from
gerous service-dangerous because, in
his civilian dress, he is liable to bo
treated as q spy. He speaks Spanish
and knows Cuba, having written u
book on the subject Moreover, he is
an expert map maker. Lieutenant
Rowan left Washington under instant
orders on April 8. He was directed to
wait here, prepared to go to Porto Rico
or Cuba. AS he went to Eastern Cuba
it is inferred that blow will be struck
there before one is struck at Porto
Rico. The expectation is that General
Caixto Garcia will dispose his forces
to cover landing OF United States
troops as prearranged. A courier with
Lieutenant Rowan's first dispatches to
the war department will probably
leave General Garcia's camp next
week.
