Second Call for Volunteers.
The event of Wednesday in the war
situation was the issuance of a procla-
nation by the president calling for 15,-
900 more volunteers. L added stirring
phase to the lethargic conditions which
have prevailed of late and came with
almost startling unexpectedness even
to many Of the high officers of the
army. The proclamation means not
only the assembling of large force of
troops, but also the appointment of a
number of major generals, brigadier
generals, colonels, field and staff otfic.

Americans On to Manila.
The start was made for Manila Wed.
nesday and the first American army
to sail for foreign shore is now on this
broad Pacific. At o'clock D, m.,
Brigadier General Anderson signaled
from the Australia to the City OF Pekin
and the City Of Sidney to get under
way Immediately. The $500 soldiers
let themselves loose. They climbed TO
the rigging aud swarmed all over the
big ships, shouting and cheering like
mad. 1t was shortly after clock when
the vessels entered the ocean, and the
sun glinting over the city gave the de-
parting soldiers last view of the
country, to fight for the honor of which
they were sailing over 5000 miles.
When last seen the transport fleet was
steaming slowly to the southwest.
After the pilots were dropped the YES.

INVASION Is BEGUN
FOUR SEPARATE MILITARY EXPEDl
TIONS TO BE MADE.

Twenty-Five Ship Loads of American
Troops Start For Cuba Under Protection
of SIMPSONS Squadron-s.nJurn,P Porte
Rico, Is Also to re Taken.
WASHINGTON, May 31.-The military
invasion Of Cuba has begun. Unless
the orders CT ),n war department mis-
carried at an ea"ly hour yesterday morn
ing the troops that have gathered at the
guilt 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 obtained suitable
for the purpose. had been gathered
ready to receive troops. They will ac-
commodate about $4,000 men, for, in a
short voyage like that from one of the
gulf ports to Cuba, it is possible, with
safety and comfort, to carry a much
larger number of men aboard snip than
would be admissible in the case of u
cruise to the Philippines, for instance.
How many troops started, where they
took ships, where they are bound for,
are questions which the directing spirits
of the campaign refuse positively tc
answer. They have no desire that the
Spanish should have opportunity
afforded them to gather forces to attack
our soldiers as they laud. Therefore,
nothing of the<letails Of this first move
ment can be learned There is sus--
picion that the start will be made from
Tampa and Mobile, and it is probable
that in such case the fleet of transports
will converge at Key West to pass under
the convoy OF the warships, which Ad-
miral Sampson has provided to insure
the safety o. the troops during the pass
age across the Florida straits to ensure
them against attack at the hands Of
some stray Spanish cruiser or gunboat :

On BOARD THE HERALD's DISPATCH
BOAT, OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, May 30
-(via Mole St. Nicholas, June 1.-The
first engagement between Commodore
Schley and the Spanish feet, com.
manded by Admiral Cervera, took place
last light.
Two torpedo boat destroyers about
midnight slipped quietly out of the
hasbor bent on mischief. They crept
along in the shadow of old Castle Nor
no and the mountain for two miles tc
the westward, before they were discov-
cred by the lookout on the Texas, where
the men were sleeping by the guns, SO
that the battleship could be quickly
manned
An instant after the lookout gave the
alarm the white stream of the Texas
searchlight flashed along the shadow
under the mountain, revealing the des-
perate game Of the imprisoned Span.
iards. The torpedo boat destroyers,
when they saw that they had been
discovered, dashed toward the Texas
which, with the cruiser Brooklyn close
beside it, was lying inshore.
The Texas promptly opened fire wit
her port forward batteries and he
crack 6-pounders and the hiss of the
armor piercing shells thrown in th>
direction of The advancing torpedo boat
destroyers startled the whole feet =
The Brooklyn also came into action,
firing several rounds at the Spanish
craft, but the bulk of the shooting was
done by the Texas The entire fleet
went to general quarters and soon their
searchllghts were playing around the
narrow entrance of the harbor in the
expectation that Admiral Cervera s
whole fleet would emerge from its
haven and fight it out.
The torpedo boat destroyers made a
plucky dash through the Rain of shells
from the battleship and cruiser, but
failing in their attempt to surprise
Schley, turned and ran back into the
harbor.
No attempt was made to pursue them.
1t is thought they were not struck, as
they retreated quickly and made small
targets in the uncertain moonlight.
The Spaniarf.s did not discharge anv
torpedoes, although within 500 yards of
the Texas.
When seen Commodore Schley de-
clined to announce either his opinions
or plans for his ships. He has made an
examination Of the batteries and the
channel, which has revealed much
stronger guns and mines than was suL.
posed. He discovered four rows of
mines laid across the narrow entrance.
