Washington. June Assistant Sec
rotary Meiklejohn of the war depart
ment today secured additional trans
ports of the capacity of approximately
5000 men, for the Cuban army of in
vasion. This swells the total number
of available vessels to over 80, with a
carrying capacity of nearly 10000 men,
The ships secured today will be sent
to Florida ports, chiefly Tampa, as fast
as practicable and prepared for service.
The procuring of these additional
ships at this time is taken as an indi-
cation of the promptness with which
the war department proposes to take
the offensive operations against the
Spanish in the West Indies. The
statement has been made repeatedly
at the war department that additional
transports for the West Indian cam
paign were not sought, as it already
had an ample number for the purposes
indicated.
The understanding at the war de-
partment is that up 10 this time none
of the troops of the regular army,
which it was announced would sail
this week, have actually left the
United States, and the officials express
their ignorance of the time when EN-
barkation is TO take place. The latest
information received here is that Gen
eral Miles is still at Tampa, and sew
eral kilograms reaching here from him
bear the name of that place.

NO MOVEMENT SOON.
Cervera's Four Helpless Ships Still
Block All Operations.


Tampa, Fla, June 2-There is but
little change in the general situation
here. 1t can be stated positively that
no troops have been embarked at this
point, and until definite and official
news is received from the fleets OF
Sampson and Schley it is the generally
expressed opinion among the army Of
ficers that no movement of troops from
here in the direction of Cuba viii be
ordered The powerful fleet of Adj
miral Cervera is still much of a factor.
1t is stated that there is no inten-
ton on the part of the authorities to
assume any more risks than is abSo-
lutely necessary in sending big neet
of practically unarmed and therefore
helpless transports into Cuban waters.
For this reason, until the Spanish fleet
is disposed of or until sufficient num-
Der of United States warships can be
spared to insure protection for the
transports from Tampa to their deStl-
nation. no move from here is expected
When this will be is uncertain. but.
although nothing official can be learned
on this point, it is not believed any
large movement will take place in the
mediate future.
General Nelson A. Miles, with sew
eral OF his staff, today made a tour
of inspection of the various regular
and volunteer camps around Tampa
The main volunteer camp at Palmetto
Beach was visited late in the after
noon, General Miles reviewing a bri-
gade drill of the Thirty-second Mich
igan and First Florida regiments.

men are fully armed and equipped
This regiment has been officially de-
signated as the First United States

some failed to return with more than
their own mounts, all worked hard.
and, of course, took no time to view
the grandeur of the scenery of ocean

Much spare time has been spent in
cleaning up the muddy tents and rusty
arms with which the boys left Salt

On Board the 4. r. Dispatch Boat
Dandy, Port Antonio, Jamaica, June
LIZ a. m.-For an hour yesterday
afternoon the Massachusetts,, Iowa,
lew Orleans and Vixen of Conn odore
Schley's squadron exchanged shots
with the Spanish fleet under Admiral
Cervera and with the land batteries,
guarding the harbor of Santiago de
Cuba behind which the fleet is hiding.
The engagement was the first which
has occurred between the two naval
forces, and was but a prelude to seri-
Gus work in the latter part Of the
week.
No attempt was made by the Ameri-
cans to bring off a general engagement,
it being their desire to locate the bat
teries on the mills above the harbor
and to determine the position of the
Spanish fleet.
Shortly before 10 o'clock Commodore
Schley left the Brooklyn for the
Massa chusetts, on board of which bat
tleship he remained during the fight.
At o'clock the signal TO form column
was posted on the flagship and the
New Orleans, Iowa and Vixen fell in,
in the order named.
The Massachusetts steamed slowly
until about five miles west of the har-
Dor entrance, when she turned in to-
ward the shore and when about 5000
yards off she turned east.again and
bore down on the harbor, the New
Orleans being close up and the Iowa
half a mile behind. The flagship
gradually increased her speed and was
soon running through the water at the
rate of ten knots an hour. She drew
closer and closer to the batteries, and
to the anxious watchers on the other
ships it seemed that she would never
open fire.
BIG GUNS ROARED.
When, however, she had passed the
harbor entrance by 500 yards great
cloud of white and yellow smoke burst
from the two 13-inch guns in her after
turret, and two shells rose over the
hill, one of them striking the Spanish
flagship Cristobal Colon as she lay at
anchor, and the other falling close
alongside.
The two guns on the forwardbturret
were then fired and their shells eX-
ploded and threw up great geysers of
spray close to the Colon. All the shore
batteries took up the challenges and
began a rapid-fire on the Massa-
chusetts. but she was soon beyond
their range and the batteries thereupOn
turned their guns upon the New
Orleans. This cruiser had been di-
rected TO pay attention to the batteries,
and to draw their fire as much as posi-

cemetery near the canvas city the Utah
artillery had the distinguished honor of
firing the saluteS, and to the Utah cav
airy troop fell the good fortune to fur
nish General Otis three orderlies- Two
of these are Salt Lake boys, Arthur
Conklin and Elliot Kimball, the third
orderly being Perry Cotner, the ex-
landlordof Price.
After the memorial exercises at the
cemetery the enormous crowds of San
Francisco people and visitors from
other California towns flocked into
camp, some of them succeeding in
passing the numerous sentrieS and in
vading the tents of the boys in blue.
Here the scenes are much similar to
those at Fort Douglas before the vol
unteers' departure. Pretty girls and
stately danes from the 400 and by the
400 fiutter from tent to tent, catching
the soldiers at all sorts of duty and pas
time, and in all sorts of shapes, lead
ing them a butterfly life. One differ
ence between this and lions fort is in
the absence of fruits and nicknacks
here, but that is not the fault of San
Francisco people, whose hearts are as
big as their purses. Because of the
danger of poisoned food being passed
into camp, it has been ordered that
nothing in the shape of lunches or
sweetmeats shall henceforth be re-
ceived by soldiers from philanthropic
friends This rule has interfered SER
iously with the active benevolence of
the Red Cross society.
In this connection an amusing con-
trast was offered recently. A Red Cross
lady stood at the troop camp entrance
parleying with a guard who refused
fatty to allow her to dispense victuals
inside. After she had given up the pro-
ject as a bad job, there appeared an
agent with Durham Bull tobacco to
give away to the troopers. The soldiers
went after the gift like killing snakes
and before the formality of a permit
was possible each had a sack of the
tobacco. which is recognized as an alb
solute necessity in camp.
AN ACCIDENT.
Since the arrival hither the only ac-
cident to the cavalry boys happened
Charlie Neughebauer of Price yester-
day. The soldiers had mounted and
were formed in column on an asphalt
street, near camp. Without warning
from his horse, which is one of the
most fiery chargers in the band of so.
George Morrison, a Richfield recruit,
happened to see the plight of his fellow
horseman and by wonderful skill and
presence of mind he caught NeuStle-
bauer, then unconscious, at the same
time holding both horses until other
succor came. Had it not been for Nor
rison, Neughebauer would have fallen
prone on the hard paving, and might
have been killed. Today he is entirely
recovered.
BENEFIT FUND.
The Salt Lake contingent today met
to discuss the disposition of the $3.50
raised for them by the ladies of Utah's
metropolis, but failed to agree upon
any plan. The money is in the hands
of Captain Game, who also holds the
Alta club donation. How the cash will
be appropriated is not determined, but
the captain insists that it shall not be
dealt out for the men to blow in, he
deeming it the more advisable course
to reserve it as a general troop fund.
Once since the pitching of tents here
about half the horses escaped from
