AT CAMP CUBA LIBRE.
The Old Report Revived OF Laying
Lee and Bryan on the Shelf.

CAMP CUBA LIBRE. July Especial
If during the present dull and monoto-
nous days here in camp Il Is possible TO
start any excitement at all. a ripple Of u
will probably be raised to-day, when
Col William Jennings Bryan arrives
with his Nebraska regiment. While he
will not stop at this camp but go d.
rectly to Panama where his regiment
will be quartered. yet his admirers here
hope that his advent will attract SUM-
Client attention 20 be noticed even here
some two miles of.
Whatever the political affiliations and
views OF the people here may have been
I'm the past and no matter how much
they esteem Colonel Bryan. II IS con-
sidered by many a very ominous sign
that he has been ordered with his regi-
ment 20 Camp Cuba Libre. IL indicates,
50 they argue. that General Lee as well
as Colonel Bryan will not see any active
service for obvious reasons and that
both have been place Ia disfronition,'
as the French call It and which IS a po-
lite expression for what Americans call
being shelved.'
The question whether the troops en-
camped here will be used for the inva-
sion of Porto Rico. az present occupies
the minds Of officers as we'll as men and
an are anxious TO have the matter def
nitely decided as soon as possible.
An army officer during recent con-
versatlon made the prediction that there
would be little or no more nghting done
on the part OF the United States troops.
Ina his opinion the few troops AT Porto
Rico will make little or no stanC against
blg army OF Americans that IS 10 be sent
there and that IL would amount TO little
more than formally take possession OF
the Island
"such a trip as this will be accompa-
MED with a good many discomforts and
probably sickness as we'll, SAID the oIh-
Ger. and n may be some consolation TO
the troops at Camp cuba Libre' who are
so anxious 10 get into action, 20 Know
that they ara far better OF wnere they
are now and that there could be httl0
glory in being sent 10 Porto Rico y a
nghting is 10 be done.
The trip would probably give them
good deal Of experience m the MAKING OK
a sea voyage on a crowded troop snip,
under a blazing sun, but that is aDoN-
all that there would be TO do. except tnaL
after they landed they would be ABOUT
