aspect Of the war has undergone some
change since the report was received
here Of the appearance Of the Spanish
squadron in the West Indies. hepres-
ence OF the feet resulted in the tempo
nary postponement Of the movement OF
the army Of invasion which was soon to
have started for tho island. Il is urged
At the war department that there should
be no soldiers ON the water until the
question OF the definite disposition OF
the enemy's ships Is settled and the
troops enabled TO proceed TO the island
without being harrassed by them.
In consequence Of the change in the
program many Of the volunteers will
not be sent to the gulf ports direct, but
will proceed direct to the Chickamauga
battlefield, where IL was intended they
should be sent before the issuance OF the
hurry orders Of the early part Of the
week for change in their destination.
At Chickamauga the soldiers will have
ample chance to engage in field exercise
and tactics which will be very beneficial
TO them prior TO their work in Cuba.
Although they are reported TO be equip
ped for active service the army officers
,ay that in the case OF many Of the vol
unteers IL will be necessary 70 renew
