MISS BARTON Al TAMPA.
Red Cross Ship VIII Follow the Fleet
Into Cuban Waters


Into Cuban Waters.
Tampa. Fla. May 23.-The Red Cross
ship State of Texas, with Miss Clara
Barton, representative of the National
Red Cross Society of America, and Il
corps of surgeons and trained nurses ar
rived at Port Tampa from Key West
to-day. The vessel, which is fully fitted
up for special purposes and carries sup
plies enough for the equipment of sew
cra Red Cross stations. will. it is said.
follow the fleet of troops into Cuban
waters.
In speaking of the Red Cross work in
Cuba. Miss Barton said to-day that she
had received assurances from the highest
Spanish official sources, that the hospital
at Serro and her headquarters were
being carefully guarded, and that the
Red Cross supplies left there were being
put to their intended uses.
J. Castellanos, Il young man who ar
rived from Key West about three weeks
ago. and who is registered at the Pal
metto hotel ms from New York. was ar
rested to-day by order Of General Shaft
er as a suspected spy. He was plenti-
fully supplied with money. Castellanos
wrote as many as one hundred letters a
day, and this, together with the discovery
that he was travelling under an assumed
name. resulted in his arrest to-day. The
case will be thoroughly investigated.
Elaborate arrangements have been
made for the banquet to be held at the
Tampa Bay hotel tomorrow in honor
Of Queen Victora's birthday.
Everything waits on news from the
fleets. when the long looked for meeting
between Admirals Sampson and Ger
vera takes place land military officers
do not for moment question the RESULT.
1t is the general belief that orders will
be given to put the army on board the
transports at once. Should the original
plan be carried out of sending only regu-
lar troops on the first expedition, the
feet of transports at Port Tampa is am-
ply sufficient for that purpose.
With the arrival to-day of the IrOquoiS,
Santiago and Cherokee, twenty-one
transports are now at the port. every
one fitted ready for embarkatiOn. These
ships will easily accommodate between
$4,000 and 10000 men, somewhat over
the total number of regular troops in
camp here.
II is thought that 36 hours after or
ders are issued to embark, every man,
horse and pound of supplies can be placed
on board the vessels in waiting.
The first provisional brigade of volun-
teers has been formed. 1t consists of the
Thirty-second Michigan, Third and Fifth
Ohio, and Second Georgia regiments,
with Brigadier General Hawkins, for
merly colonel of the Twentieth United
States infantry in command.
All of these regiments are in camp at
Palmetto beach.
