Chattanooga. Tenn. April 2S.-There
this morning when Batteries A and X. of

and make hurried preparations for de-

been ordered TO run at no time less than
thirty miles an hour.
The gunners did not even wait for their
horses, these being sent later There was
no end Of talk as to the meaning of the
hurried move. Many of the army officers
for long time have been confident that
the rumors from Washington that small
force would be landed in Cuba at once
10 establish a base of supplies and effect
a junction with Gomez or Garcia are cor
rect, and declared this morning that the
boys of the First Artillery who left to-
day would soon be in Cuba. One of the
colonies said:
There IS one thing certain about this
matter the Administration either expects
to rush down TO Cuba and clear this mat
ter up before the rainy season sets in
or else will wait until Fali. / believe it
will be the policy OF the department to
prolong this general invasion by United
States troops until after the rainy sea-
son. / think that several months will
still find US here. 1t would be military
strategy to prolong the fight.
There are several good reasons. We
can be equipping these people while Spain
Will have TO be spending money there
The more money the Spaniards spend the
sooner they will have to abandon the
war. / think IL the department will hold
up on sending the troops to Cuba till af-
ter the rainy season we will not have a
difficult task in taking Cuba. 1 think it
would work TO the detriment of our army
TO rush large number of troops there at
! this time. Let the advance guard be sent
TO get the army Of Gen. Gomez in shape
When we arrive there they will be ready

Expectation to America Has Been

For a week past, he said, expectation

Out of 1000 hands employed in the trade
1000 are out of work. The situation will

De Beers are determined to resist all at
tempts to lower the price of fine dia-
monds. These are mainly exported to
the United States where the best judges

NJ. Costermans is convinced that after

on a larger scale when the millions
brought out of the Treasury for war pur-
