PLANS MADE.
Immediate Invasion of Cuba by
Land Forces.

New York, April PA special to the
World from Washington says:
1t is stated on the highest authority
that as the newly formed preparations
for actual hostilities stand, they con-
template these operations:
First-The opening of ingress to Gu
ba for the relief ship which is to bear
supplies to the reconcentrados in Cuba
and the cooperation of the United
States naval forces with those of the in
surgents- This invasion, which is to be
conducted purely as a relief expedition,
may land at Matanzas. The Sampson
squadron is to be used to make way for
and protect the relief expeditions.
Second-The preventing of the Span
ish fleet at Manila in the Philippines
from joining forces with the Spanish
fleets at Cape Verde islands and in Gu
ban waters.
The instructions to Commander Dew
ey are not to shell Manila unless the
toruhcations assail the American fleet.
A rigid blockade, similar to that estab-
hshed at Havana. is to be enforced
against Manila. An enga cement if any
occurs, will be precipitated by the
Spanish fleet under command of Admi-
raj Montejo.
Thlrd-The flying squadron is to be
held at Fort Monroe, as a reserve fleet
but IS to be drawn upon if necessary to
protect unfortified cities The SQUADRON
may reinforce the Sampson SQUADRON.
This is the original plan mapped out
more than three weeks ago by Assistant
Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt.
Fourth-The guarding of the an
proaches to cities on the north and mid
ole Atlantic coasts by regular warshins
ana auxiliary cruisers. The original
plan contemplated the performance of
TINS duty by vessels manned by naval
reserves, but a change was compelled

IN SNOW AND HAIL.
The Pennsylvania Militia Pitch Their
Tents at Mount Gretna-

Mount Gretna, Pa, April 29-The
pennsylvania militia yesterday re-
ceived the first test OF it's grit and en-
durance of the present campaign, when
the entire division assembled at Mount
Gretna. Snow, hail and rain were dis
tinguishing features of the soldiers ad-
vent and last night the men slept un-
der wet canvas and on ground ankle
deep in mud.
The regiment began arriving as early
as 6 o'clock in the morning and came in
almost continuously thereafter until
midnight, when over 5000 men had
reached camp. AS column after col
umn of the troops marched across the
field to quarters, the men went ankle
deep in mud at each step and the
wheels of the wagons carrying camp
equipage sank deep in the ground.

MAKES FRIENDS FOR US.
Proclamation of the Governor Of
Manila Taking Effect

London, April 29.-The Hong Kong
correspondent of the Daily Mail, tele-
graphing Thursday, says:
There is no news from Manila or as
to the whereabouts of the American
fleet. The British gunboat Linnet sail
ed this afternoon to watch British in
terests in the Philippines and the Es-
meralda also sailed for the Philippines,
both without cargo or passengers, and
presumably to bring away more passen-
gers. Large sums are being paid by
people anxious to leave Manila.
1.-THE strictly neutrality attitude
hitherto observed by the public toward
the Hispano-American dispute, has been
changed by the absurd proclamation of
the governor of the Philippines, and
public opinion is now favorable to the
limited States.
''The China Mail says the proclama-
ton will go far to ALLEVIATE the last
vestiges of sympathy for Spaniards,'
and the Daily Press says English sym
pathy is naturally on the side OF
America
According to a dispatch from Slnga-
pore to the Daily Mail, the French
steamer Saigon and Spanish steamer
Espana have arrived there from Ma
nila, both crowded with refugees from
the PHILIPPINES.

War Department Sends Word: "Only
"a Men to Each Company"

Orders were received at the adjutant
generals office this morning from the
United States war department to change
the strengthen the Kansas companies, in
cluding officers, from 1O9 to S4. The change
is made because of the fact while the
states given three regiments, the appor-
tionment is but 1900 men, and to recruit
companies to the standard strength would
mean $500 men.
Recruiting officers at different points
were at once notified of the change by
telegraph. The strength of the company
recruited at Kansas City yesterday will
have to be reduced

Proclamation Of a Protector
ate Over Cuba
About to Be Issued By Cub
an Junta.
STARS AND STRIPES
Will Be HOisted By Gen. Miles
on the Island.
Gomez Will Take Orders From
American Commander.

Chicago, April ga special to the
Chronicle from Washington says:
When President Mckinley orders the
United States troops to Cuba, it will
be fop the purpose of raising the Amer
lean flag temporarily over the island.
This is made evident and is as good
as officially confirmed by a proclama
tion that is about to be issued to Gen.
Gomez and the insurgent army over
the signature of Gonzales de Quesada,
secretary of the junta in New York.
The proclamation, it is said, will urge
the insurgents to place themselves un-
der the stars and stripes as soon as the
American colors shall be raised upon
Cuban-soil, and to have absolute con-
fdence in the fair intentions of Pres
ident Mckinley and his administration.
The resolutions adopted by congress
translated into Spanish form part of
the document.
The development that a proclamation
is about to be published to the insur-
a mystery. 1t shows the way in which
Gen. Miles proposes to let Gen. Gomez
and his army of liberation cooperate
with him.
Whenever the army of occupation
shall have been landed in Cuba, the
insurgents will understand that for a
period they will be under the jurisdic-
tion and protection of the United
States. They will be expected to join
forces and assist in expelling the Span
iards and when tranquility prevails,
they will organize their government
under the supervision of Gen. Miles and
his troops
