reached here to tho effect that at daylight
on Monday last Lieutenant Andrew S.
Rowan, of the regular army, was landed
near Santiago de Cuba, with three native
guides, who will pilot him to the camp Of
General Calixto Garcia, with whom no
will arrange for cooperation of the in
surgents with the United Strtes army Of
invasion. to be debarked on the coast of
Eastern Cuba.
The time and point Of landing are secret
and may be changed at the advice Of Lieu
tenant Rowan. He volunteered and was
detailed by the War Department for this
dangerous service dangerous because in
his civilian dress no ia liable to be taken
for spy. He speaks Spanish, knows
Cuba, and is an expert Typographical map
maker.
Lieutenant Rowan left Washington I'M
der instant order April o. He was directed
to wait here, prepared to 90 to Porto Rico
or Cuba. AS he went to Eastern Cuba, it
is inforrcd,that blow will be struck there
| before one is struck at Porto Rico With
lien he took an official Spanish section
map of Eastern Cuba, with cancellations
made by the War Department hydrogra-
pliers.
The expectation is that General Calizio
Garcia will dispose his forces to cover
landing of UnItel States troops as prear-
ranged. A courier with Lieutenant Row.
ans first dispatches to the War Depart
ment will probably leave General Garcias
camp noxt week.
