force General Shafter.
WAsHINGTON, June 29.-Orders have
been issued for the departure of an
other large army expedition from
Tampa, composed of about 5000 men
from the Second division of the Fourth
army corps, under command of Briga.
dier General Snyder, and six batteries
of artillery. three light and three
heavy. The preparations have been
proceeding quietly for some days, and
although the stores have been going
aboard at Tampa. rigid censorship at
that point has prevented any word 60
ing out as to the expedition. The ac-
tual departure from Tampa is expected
by the war department to occur during
the day, although there may be un-
avoidable delays. The plan of move
ment has been thoroughly determined
upon. Twelve transports are to carry
the expedition. They will move first
to Key West, at which point strong
naval convoy will meet them and es-
cort the expedition to Santiago. The
warships constituting the naval con-
voy are not disclosed, but they proba.
bly, will include one battleship and sew.
eral cruisers and auxiliary craft.
