AFTER SANTIAGO FALLS.
War Officials Plan With Confidence of
America Success Soon.

Washington, June Appropriations
for hurrying reinforcements to General
Shafter and for the Porto Rican ex-
pedition are progressing as fast pos
sible. General Skaters orders are to
send back to Tampa as many of the
transports with his expedition as he can
spare. 1t is stated officially that Cen
eral Miles. commanding the army,
would command the next expedition
which leaves the United States. Just
what this is to be and where it is to go
could not be ascertained.
The number of reinforcements to be
sent to Shafter will be an expedition
nearly as formidable as that which left
Tampa two weeks ago. After Santiago
has been reduced and captured by the
American forces there will be an ample
number to leave in the province to pre-
serve order and to hold the place, while
The officials at the war department
declined to indicate where the fifteen
regiments which General Brooke, COM
manding at Chickamauga, has been re-
quested to have in readiness to move,
would be sent. Fernandina, Fla, has
been put in readiness for a large num-
ber of men and it may be the Chicka-
mauga men will go there. At Miami,
further down the coast, there are about
six regiments, while at Tampa, on the
gulf coast, there are approximately
Il, 900 men.

Another Expedition to Rein
force General Shafter
Is Ordered to Start From Tam
pa Today.
WILLLEAVE KEY WEST
On Eight Transports and Under
Convoy
Of a Strong Naval Force For
Santiago de Cuba.

Washington, June 2S.-Orders have
been issued for the immediate sailing
of another large expedition to reinforce
General Shafter. The soldiers will sail
from Tampa and will include about
5000 men. 1t is understood they will
be taken from General Snyder's second
division of the Fourth army corps.
Eight transports will carry the expedi-
ton which Will first go to Key West,
where they will be Joined by strong
naval convoy and proceed to Santiago.
1t is expected that the start will be
made today.
General Snyder's second division of
the Fourth army corps, is now at Tam
pa and is made up of three brigades
and nine regiments. as follows:
First brigade, Colonel 1. De Russey,
commanding; Eleventh United States
infantry, Ninth United States infantry.
Second brigade, General L. H. Car
penter, commanding; First District of
Columbia, Second New York, Fifth
Maryland.
Third brigade. General r. H. Hall.
commanding; Third Pennsylvania, 157th
Indiana, First Ohio, First Illinois.
Whether some regiments Will be taken
from other divisions can not be stated
definitely. It is known only that Gen
eral Snyder's division has been looked
upon by the war department as the one
best equipped for an immediate start
The batteries will be designated by
General Randolph in command of the
artillery at Tampa.
If the expedition gets away today it
will arrive off Santiago about next Sat
urday. The trip doubtless will be to the
eastward around Cape Maysi, along the
same route as that of the Shafter eX-
peditiOn- This will bring Skaters force
up to about COCO men, made up of the
10000 men he took with him, General
Duffeld's command on the Harvard
and Yale; General Garretsons COM
mand. which viii go on the same steam
ers, and General Snyders division, from

to deny that the government is influ
enced in ordering this movement by a
desire to check the progress eastward
of the Cadiz fleet. 1t was not believed
that the Spanish admiral could be gull
ty of the folly of uncoVering his own
home ports in this fashion, but mas
much as he seems determined to do so,
the naval StrategiStS could not do less
than take advantage of the magnificent
opportunity thus offered to strike a
crushing blow at Spain, and thereby
perhaps, save much time and loss of
life and money in the conduct of the te-
diouS campaign in Cuba.
The determination to send this squad
ron against Spain was the outcome of
direct official adviceS reaching the
state and navy departments as to the pro-
gress of Admiral Camara's squadron.
The adViceS give a list of the Spanish
ships now nearing the SueZ canal which
differs somewhat from the list given in
the press dispatches and by Lloyds.
The official list is as follows:
Palayo. Carlos V, Audaz, Osada,
Proserpina, Patricia, Rapido. Buenos
Ayres. Isla de Paney, Colon, Covadonga
and San Francisco. The addition in
formation comes from official sources
that this squadron is at Port Said, and
expects to take on board 10000 tons of
coal before entering the Suez canal.
Such heavy cOaling will take some
time. 1t discloSeS also that the ad-
mira1 certainly expects to make a long
sail and is doubtless headed for the
Philippines, a point which the officials
here doubted at first.

A PROCLAMATION

Washington, June 2S.-The president
has issued a proclamation extending the
blockade of Cuba to the southern coast
from Cape Frances to Cape Cruz, in
elusive and also b1ockading San Juan

The proclamation is as follows:
Whereas. For the reasons set forth in

on the south coast of Cuba was de-

worth and Hamilton. The headquart-
ers are at Governors Island, and the
men will be mobiliZed there preparatory
to departing.
While the order to go to the Philip
pines was surprise to the men, it was
no news either to Col. Barker or Lieut..
Col Staple. Both have been using all
the influence that could be brought to
bear to bring about this assignment.
I'D rather go to the Philippines than
to any other point" Col. Barker de-
clared while in camp. ''But if we can
not go then coast defense work would
be my next choice"
Though actual orders have come there
is no way of knowing when the regi-
ment will move. Marching orders may
arrive in an hour, and may not reach
here for month. 1t is reasonable to
suppose. however, that they will closely
follow those already received.
