and decisive engagement to capture a base of supplies and to force a junction with the army of General Gomez. Captain Dorst, who has just returned to the United States from Cuba, has made all necessary prepa- rations in regard to such juncture between United States troops and their Cuban allies. General Gomez has at present complete knowledge of the military plans Of the United States and he is gathering his army preparatory to joining the first force of United States regulars.
 General Shafter, as soon as his first work has been accomplished, will immediately send report to the War Department and orders will be sent by Secretary Alger to General Wade, who will be in command of 45, 1000 troops concentrated at Tam pa, Mobile and New Orleans, to at once begin the transportation of his army to join the command of Gen eral Shafter. Preparations for hav- ing a sufficient number of transports on hand at these three points are be- ing rushed by the quartermaster general of the army. Not the slight est difficulty is expected from this source.
 The entire invading army after in Cuba will be divided into three corps, commanded re- by Major-General Wade, Ma ajor-G Coppinger and Major General Shafter. Owing to the strong desire which has been expressed by General Miles to be commander in chief of the army actively engaged in Cuba, he and his entire staff will be at the head of the army when the attack on Havana is begun. General Wade, being the senior major general of the three corps commanders, will rank as second in command.
 I am also assured that General Lee, at his own most urg- ent request, will be in command of a

 The entire policy of the adminis- tration has been changed since the day the news of Admiral Oewey's great victory reached Washington. From a defensive plan of operation the Governmenc has now taken most aggressive stand. In the Cabi- net meeting to-day final arrange ments were made which it is hoped will culminate in the capture by the United States army and navy of all the Spanish possessions. It was de- cided by the President and his Cabi- net that it would be much better to await report from Admiral Samp- oOA4 OC1OAO Il1O EAd1AI AiANe@o1OAA VA Cuba was begun. am informed that the administration fully expects to receive a definite report from Ad- miral Sampson by Thursday of this week, and it is hoped that in this re- port the danger hitherto experienced from the Spanish armada will be en- hrely eliminated. As soon as this report is received at the Navy De- 9artment orders will be immediately sent to General Shafter, commanding The regular army at Tampa, Fla, to move at once upon Cuban soil.
 When the regular army has de- parted from Tampa orders will he sent to 45,0o0 volunteer troops which are to be this week mobilized at Chickamauga to at once advance m three divisions to Tampa, Mobile md New Orleans.

 At last one pound shell from the Winslow went fair and true and struck the hull of the gunboat PinZon a little aft of amidships. apparently exploding on the inside. The Winslow men yelled
 The Pinzon stopped. evidently dis abled. while one of her comrades went to her assistance.
 By this time the Spanish boats had retreated nearly to a position where they could not be followed because of mines and torpedoes.
 The Pinzon got under way slowly and limped homeward with the help of tow line from her consort.
 During this episode the Machias re- turned and when within the two mile range let fly two finch shells from her starboard battery which accelerated the Spanish flight.
 The Winslow's crew was indignant at this interruption of their sport. and one of the gunners said to Ensign Bag ley:
