Field to Defend Havana,

Field to Defend Havana.
Tampa, Fla. May H-Col Wagner,
chief of the Bureau of Information ar
rived from Washington today. He is
commissioned by Gen. Miles TO go over the
plan of the proposed expedition to Clba.
with Gems. Wade and Shafter, and place
all the resources of his department at
their disposal. Col. Wagner's information
about the topography and military condi-
tiOns of Cuba is thorough. Lieut. Ander-
son. of the Strategy Board, accompanied
Col Wagner.
Gen. Blanco is concentrating his troops
in Havana province in the expectation
that decisive battle with an American
army of invasion will be fought there
Other provinces have been virtually strip
ped of soldiers. The Bureau OF informI-
ton adheres to it's estimate that Blanco
can put S, 600 regulars in the field and
support them with 5000 volunteers. The
latter would make up in hatred of the
American invaders what they lack in dis
cipline and training.
If our army of invasion were to land i'm
Havana or MatanZas they would find, Col.
Wagner says, some excellent roads,
which, contrary to the general opinion,
remain passable for the heaviest guns
through the rainy season.
Col Ludlow was sent here to arrange
for the debarkation of the army of inva-
sion, and his plans are practically com
pleted. The Engineer Corps will be able
10 lay GEO feet of pontoon- bridges from the
transports to the shore in the event of
such a landing being practicable. Twenty
four canvas and fifteen wooden Dontoons
would be used. They are to be strong
ennrgh for the fas of sixty men with
a 5-inch siege gun.
When the army that is gathering here
goes to Cuba it will carry as part of its
equipment probably the most formidable
siege train ever attached to a United
States army. The train is now being got
together in the North, principally at New
York. There will be four batteries of
heavy artillery, composed of 5-inch and g.
inch modern rifle guns. Besides the ri
fies there will be in the train number
OF field howitzers and a great quantity OF
ammunition. These howitZers will be of
use after the heavy rifles have demolished
the fortifications. 1t is reported here that
the men to man the guns in this train are
all under orders at different Notifications
OF the North TO move at an hours notice.
When il was first decided to send an
army to Cuba it was not intended to send
with ii anything like such force of
heavy artillery. Information placed in the
hands of the Secretary of War recently
by man who passed through here on his
way from Cuba. led to an entire change
in the original plan.
This man was in Havana long enough
to make complete drawings of the de-

Rather a striking suggestion of the
genuinely national character of the
United States Navy is contained in the
fact that of the eight wounded of the Bal
timore in the Manila fight. one was a
native of New England, one of the Mid
die States. three of the great West. one
of the far South. and one of the new Pa
cific coast State of Washington But one
of the eight was foreign-born. and he
is good American citizen. Doubtless
the same wide geographical distribution
prevails among the crews of the other
