Twenty Five ships Gathered to Receive the Soidiers-PIace of Their Landing Win Be Kept secret-Four Sepa-
 rate Military Expeditions.

WASHINGTON, May 31. The military invasion of Cuba has begun. At an early hour yesterday morning the troops that have been gathered at the
 gulf ports began to break camp and march aboard transports waiting to carry them to the enemy's territory.
 About 25 of these ships, the biggest and fastest that could be ob- tained suitable for the purpose,
 had been gathered ready to re- ceive the troops. They will accommo- date about S0,00O men, for, in short voyage like that from one of the gulf ports to Cuba, it is possible with safe ty and comfort to carry much larger number of men aboard ship than would be admissible in the case of cruise to the Philippines, for instance How many troops started yesterday morn ing, where they took ships, whither they are bound, are questions which the directing spirits of the campaign refuse positively to answer They have no desire that the Spanish should have opportunity afforded them to

SECURES MEXICAN DOLLARS.
Uncle Sam Buys Them Here and VIII Send Them to Manila to Be Invested
 at Big Profit.

NEW YORK, May 29.-One of the most interesting preparations for the out fitting of the Manila expedition has just been announced. The govern ment has purchased 5000 Mexican silver dollars, which Gen. Merritt will take along to defray the expenses of the expedition. This amount is not expected to last long, but more will be sent him from time to time. By purchasing Mexican dollars great saving is made. It is possible to ob- tain Mexican dollars at 46 cents each, thus obtaining for one American dol- lar two Mexican ones and leaving eight cents toward the purchase of a third. In other words, Uncle Sam was able to buy 25, 1000 Mexican dollars for $11, 500. They were bought in San Francisco. In the Philippines a Mexican dollar will buy more than an American dollar, and the expenses of Gen. Merritt's expedition after it once lands in Manila will be less than one-half what they would otherwise be. As to the soldiers, they will fare excellently under this arrangement, for they will, of course, be paid, ac- cording to law, American money. The paymaster will give each soldier two Mexican dollars for every American dollar due him on pay day.

G5 tho most clever ma neuvering the commodore allowed the Span- lards to think he had left in disgust They took tne bait and ran into the harbor Commodore ocnley moved down this morning and at six o'clock, going close to the harbor he saw the Cristobal Colon. the Maria Teresa and two tor peoo boats He has acted upon his own infor- matlon ana Judgment for the past few days and DelleVes the whole Spanish fleet is there He sat on the after triangle of the Brooklyn this morning until the discovery of the fleet and then went to breakfast, saying: T have got them and they will never get home"
 News of a Battle Expected.
 WASHINGTON, May 31.-There is a general feeling of exultation in Wash lngton over the news that Cervera's fleet is hemmed in at Santiago de Cuba. The official announcement to this effect from Commodore Schley re- moves general depression which has existed ever since the mysterious movements of the Spanish squadron in American waters commenced. The greatest secrecy is being observed in all departments of the gov ernment which makes the line of future action a matter of mere speculation. According to the best source of information accessible, the intention is to capture or destroy Cervera's fleet, establish base of operation at Santiago and, that done, to seize Porto Rico, leaving the Ha- vana end of Cuba under blockade for an indefinite period, which may be four weeks or four months, according to circumstances. 1t is understood that the proposed course regarding Santiago harbor is to reinforce Schley's squadron with all the available fight ing ships from Sampson's squadron, force the harbor and attack the Span- iards

Why he en- tered Santiago harbor instead of the narbor of Cienfuegos is not known, put the American commanders were inclined to think the Spaniards would so to the latter port.
