No delay in the evacuation

occupation of the island,
Meanwhile the United States
forces are being put in readi-

every bureau of the war de.
partment will have its SUP

when the time for movement
comes. No time has yet
been fixed definitely and none
will be until the department
is advised by the military
commission that the health of
the troops will not be IN dan

1t was stated by one official
in the war department that

commodations already built
by the Spanish were not suf-

provide it's own barracks.
More care is being given to
the matter of sanitation and
health of the proposed Cuban
expedition than has attended
any expedition OF the army.
The department has had
plenty of time to make these
arrangements and is utilizing
it for completing every ar

A PICTURE OF UNCLE SAM.

presenting a nag TO the
Fourth Tennessee, at Knox
vile, drew this picture OF
Uncle Sam:
1.-The most striking and
picturesque figure in all his
tory is the tall figure of a
lean sinewy old man with
long hair and chin whlskers
and wearing an old fashioned
plug hat. His pantaloons
are in stripes of white and
red and his blue swallow tail
coat is bespangled with stars.
He is the personifcation Ct
the United States and we
call him "Uncle Sam"
He is a composite of the
wild cat and coolng dove -
the lion and the lamb, the
thunder storm and the sum
mer evenings last sigh that
shuts the rose. He is the
embodiment of all that is
tender and all that is most
terrible, The world stands
appalled, at his Wo9snderful
power, and bows in admir-
alton of his matchless mag.
nammity.
He is the tallest individual
on this mundane sphere, and
when he steps across this
continent and sits down on
Pixies Peak and snorts in
his handkerchief of red, white
and blue, the earth quakes
and the monarchs tremble on
their thrones.
From the peaceful walks
of life he can mobilize a
mighty army in sixty days,
and ninety days he can de-
stroy a mighty navy and de-
molish an empire. He is the
boss of the western hemis.
phere, sheriff of Cuba, JUS
tice Of the peace at Porto
Rico and guardian adlitem of
the PHILIPPINE islands. He is
as brave as Caesar and meek
as Moses.
He is as fierce as a tiger
and cool as a cucumber. He
wears the tail feathers Of the
eagle of France in his hat;
and the scalp of Mexico in
his belt. He laughs at the
roar of the Russian bear; and
is always ready for schoon'
er of German beer. All that
is left Of Spain is her ''honah"
