Tn. Burlington's New Trains

The Burlington's New Trains
Railroad mon who have had the
privilege of examining the four
new trains which the Burlington
Route. on the 1st of May, placed
in service between Denver and
Chicago say they are as magnif-
GENTLY equipped as any in the
country-that even the famous
limited expresses between Chicago
and New York are not handsomer
or more luxurious. Every car is
wide vestibuled, and was built es-
pecially for the Burlington Route.
The four trains are identical in
appearance and arrangement
Each is composed of a buffet
smoking -librarycar, palace sleep
ing-car, and two reclining-chair
cars. The buffet-smoking-library
car is something new for q Denver
Chicago line. 1t is a veritable
clubhouse on wheels, where one
may read, write, smoke, talk or
play cards, while travelling at the
rate of fifty miles an hour. 1t is
handsomely carpeted and furnish
ed with settees, cushioned easy
chairs, 3 layatory, writing-desk,
q compartment for card-piayers,
and a well-stocked buffet. The
ourrent periodicals and news
papers are on file, and carefully
selected library is provided for the
free use of passengers. The sleep
ing car Is gem, and the chair
and dining-oars are in every way
worthy of the train Of which they
form an important part.
The Burlington Route takes
palatial trains through to Omaha

rounded.

WASHINGTON, June %. Just a week
after the United States troops left Tor.
tugas they began to disembark on Gu.
ban soil, landing at two points so as to
attack Santiago in the rear and at the
sides, with the navy to help the work
in front Thus the military invasion
Of Cuba may be said to have fairly be.
gun, for though the United States ma.
rines were the first Of the regular force
to land upon Cuban soil, their purpose
was not, after all, invasion, but the
establishment of q naval base and a
base for cable station, in both of
which
They Were EminentIy Successful.
To the regular troops was left the be-
ginning of the formidable task of in.
vading Cuba in force by land. 1t is
evident from the nature Of General
Miles advices that in addition to the
troops now landing, supposedly not
far from Playa del Este, on the east
side of Santiago bay, the second
landing is going on at point just
about the same distance west of the
harbor entrance. The two divisions
probably will be pushed forward stead.
lily to take the town of Santiago on
either flank, while to Garcia's and
Rabi's bands of insurgents may be left
the task of bringing on the attack in
the rear. The distance on the west
side is
Slightly Greater Than on the East.
but it probably is not greater by either
route than 10 or l8 miles. The country
is mountainous, but there is no reason
to believe it may not be traversed by
the United States troops within q
week, even if it should be necessary to
construct entrenchments every few
miles in order to beat back Spaniards.
With the beginning of the military
movement the navy will draw close in
shore to pound away at the forts at the
entrance and to draw the Gordon Of
warships SO closely around the mouth
as to make it impossible for Ceveras
vessels to escape even if they are dis
posed to take the most desperate
chances.

NEW YORK, June pa special dis.
patch from Santiago de Cuba, June 20,
via of Kingston. Jamaica, says that
Cubans have brought information to
Admiral Sampson that Admiral Ger.
vera is prepared to make desperate
effort to take his ships out of Santiago
harbor at the first favorable oppor.
tunity. The Spanish warships, it is
reported, have been coaled to their full
capacity and the crews are refused
shore leave. Every night the vessels
drop down the bay to be prepared to
embrace the first favorable opportunity
to attempt dash past the blockading
squadron. 1t is said to be the Spanish
Admiral's hope to save at least por.
ton of his ships from capture, and in a
fight to sink some of the American
craft.
