BELIEVE VICTORY AT HAND

Copyrighted by the Associated Press, 1S9S1
 On Board the Associa ted Press Dispatch Boat Dandy, Off Santiago de Cuba, Monday Night, June 20, Via Kingston, Jamaica, June 21, 2:40 p. m.-General Calxito Gar cia and the Cuban officers gave Genaral Shafter and Admiral Sampson hearty welcome this afternoon when the American officers, on board the steamer Seguranc.a, went to his headquarters for consultation.
 The Cubans showered upon their distin- guished visitors all the blessings of Cuta Lbre for the assistance of the United States in the Cuban struggle for freedom, and expressed the conviction that victory was at hand and that the power of Spain would soon be driven from the island by u e combined strength of American and Cut an arms, When the first curl of black smoke appeared on the distant horizon at noon announcing the coming of the long expected soldiers, General Garcia, himself with the officers of the staff around him, stood on hill side overlooking the harbor and gave forth expressions of joy as he watched the approach of the vessels.
 The welcome news soon spread among his half-fed, half-clothed troops, and great shouts arose from the dark-skinned vet erans, who have spent three years in fight ing the war of liberty. They watched the Segurancia, accompanied by the auxiliary gunboat Gloucester, draw away and make her course to the flagship. After she had taken Admiral Sampson aboard they saw her head for the point nearest the moun- tain camp. The Cubans sent a guard of honor to receive the Seguranca As soon as she came to anchor, General Shafter and his staff, including General Ludlow, chief of engineers, and Admiral Sampson, accompanied by a guard of soldiers, went ashore in small boats. They were received by the Cubans with all military honors and horses were placed at the disposal of Gen. eral Shafter and Admiral Sampson to ride up the steep trail to General Garcia's head quarters.
 The commanders tent Is a rude hut, GOV cred with leaves and containing only meagre camp outfit. After words of greet ing had been spoken, the consultation was held. It lasted several hours. General Garcia explained his plans fully; told how he had the Spanish general, Pando, cooped up in Manzanillo without the possibility Of his being able to cooperate with the Span- ish troops in Santiago, and laid before the American officers maps showing all the mountain trails leading to Santiago from the most convenient landing places, east and west of the harbor.
 General Ludlow in particular made close investigation of this subject and sought all the information available with regard to the most feasible plan of trans porting a large body of troops overland.

The Volunteer Army.

Washington, May 2O-At 1920 to-

that from now until the remainder of
the 125,OOO men called for have been
mustered, the work will proceed ve-y
slowly. 1t is problematical whether
the government will await the slow
motions of some of the states.
The probability is that if the muster
ing of the required G-.ta is not CON-
pleted by the first OF next week, the
call, so far as the delinquent states are
concerned, will be cancelled. and vol
unteers will be accepted from other
states.
