Troops and Transports Gathering at
Tampa-AIay Move Sunday.
TAMPA. Fla. May S.-Two hundred
native Cubans, who have been quietly
enlisted In New York city by General
Julio Sanguilly, arrived In this city
last night. They will be formed into a

the regiment viii be made up of Gu
bans from this city and vicinity. The
New Workers created a sensation as
they marched down the street in a
body, and they were followed for blocks
byR perfect mob of excited Cubans.
Slowly but surely arrangements are
being made for the landing of an Amer
lean force In Cuba. The Plant system
gave formal notice to the government
that its steamers Olivette and Florida,
both OF which are in port here, were at
the disposal of the government for use
as troopships. The Mascotte OF the
same line will be turned over today. BY
Friday the following fleet Of vessels is
expected to be In waiting at the wharfs
at Tampa for the reception of the Unit
ed States troops:
The Florida. the Olivette and the
Mascotte of the Plant line; the Alamo
and the Comal, which is already an
chored in the stream here, OF the NAL
lory line; the Aransas and possibly the
Lampasas Of the Morgan line and the
Allegheny and Berkshire Of the Mer-
chants and Miners line. These boats
all have been contracted for and have a
carrying capacity of about 5000 troops
1t is not believed, however that the
actual embarkation VIII take place be-
fore Sunday. Much remains to be done
in the way of gathering ammunition
and supplies and several days must
elapse before all is in readiness. It is
believed that the force will be made up
of 5000 Infantry 1000 cavalry and ten
batteries of artillery, in all close to 5000
men. only one regiment of cavalry the
Ninth, is now IN camp at Tampa, but

nel of Tampa bay. on which work has
been rapidly pushed. are now practical
ly complete and ready for the mounting
of the guns. Most OF these, 1t is said,
viii be of the inch caliber and such
others as are at hand. the urgency OF
the situation not permitting the delay
which would be unavoidable if heavy
guns were to be mounted.
Bids for the purchase of about $200O,-

Bile advices from Mr.. Charles II. Cramp,

feet that contracts have been signed be-

approximately 1880 tons displacement.

per hour throughout a trial trip Of y
hours duration at load draft and car

The other is a protected cruiser Of
about 6,1O0 tons displacement. to de-
velop a speed Of % knots per hour un-
der the same trial conditions as those
just stated and carrying 725 tons Of
coal.
An interesting fact in this connection
is that this is the first award of a con-
tract for the construction Of a battle
ship TO be built abroad in the history
Of the Russian navy, and the protected
cruiser is also the largest and most i'm
portant vessel of that type ever ordered

ly superior in force, had prudentiy re-
turned and placed his ships under the
protection of the forts. This was his
only chance Of meeting the enemy on
something like equal terms. and It did
not suffice.
Soon the Americans opened fire. The
Sraniards replied vigorously. and the
combat continued without interruption
for four hours, during which the Don
Antonio de Ulloa was sunk, the Cas-
tllla and the Mndanao were set on fire,
and the Reina Maria Cristlna and the
Don Juan de Austria were seriously

The engagement lasted two hours and
resulted in the annihilation Of the Span

This dispatch adds that the American
ships withdrew TO their magazine ves-
sci in the center OF the roadstead for
the purpose OF coaling.
One American vessel whose name Is
not mentioned is said 10 have been dis
abled.
Commodore Dewey requested tho
British consul, Mr. l.. II. Rawson-
Walker, TO convey a message to the
Spanish governor general demanding
guns at Manila and the possession Of
the cable offices. saying that unless
these terms were compiled with he
would proceed to lombard the city.
The first cable message ends with the
statement that the Spanish officials
were comforting with the British consul
and the telegraph companys agent
and that pending n decision being ar
rived at the cables were not permitted
TO handle messages.
Tho second cable dispatch received by
the colonial Office announced that the
Spanish governor general had refused
to surrender the torpedoes, guns and
cable offices and. that he had prevented
the agent Of the telegraph company
from conferring with Commodore
Dewey
The message ended with the state
ment that the British governor Of the
Straits Settlements expected that the
bombardment of Manila would begin on
Monday morning. when the Spaniards
would cut the cable
The newspapers OF Madrid. comment
ing upon the utter defeat Of the Spanish
