GENERAL WAR SITUATION.

Washington. May 1.-THE army
movement on Cuba is now fairly
| launched and today's news developed
a concerted effort all along the line to
| begin aggressive operations on a big
scale for the ejectment of the Spanish

! of the Antilles.
An order given. this afternoon. by the
war department for the purchase of
100000 rations is in earnest of the
scale on which preparations are MAX
ing for invasion of SPANS territory.
OF this vast quantity one-fourth is to
go to the Philippines by way of San
Francisco and the balance to Cuba.
For some reason that was not dis
coverable there appeared to be a tenn
porary check in the practical working
out of the plans of the war department
for this Cuban movement.
