Tampa or not, army officials at Washing
with the rigid censorship now exercised ct
Southern ports, which efiectually checks
the dissemination of the desired informa-
ton. it is impossible TO speak with cei-
tainty.
Secretary Alger has admitted TO mem
bers of congress who control appropriations
that an immediate invasion has been or
dered and that opertions in Porto Rico
would follow promptly.
The orders which were telegraphed to
General Shafter last Sunday have been d.
vulged by the president to no one except
Secretaries Alger and Long and Generals
Miles and Corbin, and 1t is extremely un-
likely that these officials would abuse the
confidence reposed in them. It is not
necessary that any other government off
Gals should be informed of such affairs, as
they are charged only with sending sup
plies forward to Tampa, where their ju-
risdiction and interest are supposed to end.
1t is known that most of the pioneer
force, including the seige gun trains, the
engineer detachment and a good siz,d
force of cavalry and artillery could have
passed Key West by this time without any
one ashore having been thr wiser. The
guns and engineer implements have been
loaded on the transports for several weeks
and the men to handle them have not been
near the general camps.
Several infantry and cavalry transports
were ready for departure last Saturday,
and if these vessels have not slipped away
IL is difficult to explain why they were
loaded so long ago. The Panther. with
nearly 500 marines aboard. under I.ieuten-
ant Colonel Huntington, has been under
steam at Key West for fully three weeks
and with this nucleus, reinforced by Cal
ixto Garcia's army of insurgents, who have
long controlled Santiago province. so for
midsble a force would be assembled as to
prevent any aggressive movement from the
little body of spaniards hemmed up in
Santiago city.
1t is strongly intimated that the first i'm
portont news Of the invading army will not
come from Tampa or any other American
point but from Santiago itself.
The army as we'll as the navy. has sud
denly lost interest in Havana and Philip
pine affairs and even the alleged move
ments of the Cadiz fleet have ceased TO
cause any apprehension. Interest at this
time is centered exclusively in the San
t,ago campaign, and confidence is general
