TO CURB THE sPANIARDS.
Larger Army Than Was First Intended VIII be
Sent to Cuba,

The war department Is preparing for
an important shifting about of troops.
1t has been decided to largely increase
the size of the Cuban army of occupa-
ton, and $4,000 men. instead of but 20,-
900, as at first intended. will be sent to
the island. In addition to General
Lees corps an entire new one is to be
detailed for this work.
1t is not known what reasons
brought about the change in the plan
of the department, but it is thought
that the hostile attitude of the Spanish
element in Havana and other large
cities not controlled by the American
military authorities is responsible for
It. Reports received from Major Cen
eral Wade, of the Cuban Commission,
indicate that the Spanish officials are
still in an ugly frame OF mind and are
averse to yielding up that territory.
