MORE AID FOR THE CUBANS.
Tampa, Fla May 11.-There is good
reason to believe that inside of twenty
four hours another expedition with the
same purpose and destination as that
of the Gussie, which left here yester-
day loaded with arms, ammunition
nj supplies for the Cuban insurgents,
will slip from Port Tampa. The Flor
ida, one Of the Plant Line boats char
tered by the government for use as a
transport, has k on a large cargo
of Springfield rifles and ammunition
and the stalls for horses and mules
have been completed. The boat is ly-
ing at the dock with full steam up and
no n is allowed on board. General
Wade went out to the port today and
held a long conference with superinten-
dent Fitzgerald OF the Plant line of
steamers and it is believed that orders
We're given TO have the boat ready for
sailing at a moments notice.
Lieutenant j. D. Mily, of General
Skaters staff, who was sent to Wash
ington Saturday with the reports Of
Captain Dorst and Lieutenant Colonel
Lawton and the plans for the Cuban
campaign returned today bearing with
him a big bundle of maps and docu-
ments and Immediately reported to
General Shafter. 1t is now believed
that the two Cuban regiments will ac-
company the regular troops to Cuba.
They have all been armed with Spring
field rifles and under almost incessant
drilling are rapidly being poundered
into shape.
Everything possible is being done to
facilitate the work Of loading the trans
ports at Port Tampa with ammunition
and supplies for the expedition. Hun
dreds OF men are kept busy unloading
the war material from the freight cars
and carefully slowing it away in the
steamers. This part Of the work will
be practically concluded by tomorrow
night and the ships now in the slip
will drop anchor in the bay to make
room for other transports. The Oriza-
ba is expected UP from quarantine to-
morrow. This is one Of the largest
