Impressions and Criticisms of British
correspondents.

Correspondence of the Associated Press
LONDON, June 4.-Some interesting Inn
pressions and criticisms of the American
soldiers have appeared this week from the
pens of English war correspondents with the
army of invasion. The opinions are, on the
Whole, favorable and the correspondent of
the Times who was on board the transport
Gussle, seems particularly impressed with
the workmanlike kit and businesslike in
tellgence of the American regulars. He
SAID For fighting purposes, then, the
United States private has nothing to keep
clean, excepting his rife and bayonet He
carries no contrivances for polishing but
tons, boots or the dozens of bits of ac-
coutrement deemed essential to a good SOL
der in Europe"
As to discipline, the correspondent writes
The firing discipline during the three times
We have been under fire has been excellent
the obedience of soldiers to their officers has
been as prompt and intelligent as anything
l have seen in Europe, and as to coolness
under fire and accuracy of aim, what I
have seen is most satisfactory. The men
evidently regard their officers as soldiers
OF equal courage and superior technical
knowledge. To the Yankee private West
Pointer means what to the soldier of Prus-
sia is conveyed by noble rank. In my inti-
mate intercourse with officers and men
aboard this ship cannot recall an instance
OF an officer addressing a private otherwise
than is usual when a gentleman issues an
order have never heard an officer or nom
commissioned officer curse a man. During
the engagement of Cabanas the orders were
Issued as quietly as at any other time and
the men went about their work as steadily
as blue Jackets on man-of-war."
The Times is very severe on the dress uni
form Of the American army. which. 1t de-
ciares. was designed by the politicians and
taiiors Of Washington. It says there are
nImberiess points Of resemblance between
Tommy Atkins and the Yankee private.

WAITING FOR THE INVADERS.
Admiral Sampson Says All Is Ready
for Landing of Troous

for Landing of Troops.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE Navy De-
partment was in communication to-day with
Admiral Sampson, off Santiago, by cable
and by mail, with the result that it is now
known officially that the American flag
floats over Cuba and that it was raised
by United States marines at the mouth
of Guantanamo bay. The marines who
have thus glorifed themselves were six
hundred in number. They were obliged
to fight for their lives, and in the
course of the fight to burn down the town
chosen as the site for debarkation All is
ready at Guantanamo now for the landing
of United States regular troops as soon as
they arrive there, the marines holding the
ground that they won and being protected
by the guns of the Marbehead, under Cap
tain Mccall, who has already, during the
present war, so distinguished himself by
energetic and valuable services as to en-
courage the belief that he will regain the
numbers he lost some years ago through
an unfortunate incident.
Regarding the fleet of transports, no
statement is obtainable at the War Depart
ment and it is believed that the situation
is as it stood yesterday withs respect to the
starting of the expedition. AS time is be-
lieved to be an important point just now in
the movement of troops, it is suggested
here that something might be saved in this
direction if the transports start from Tam
pa bay with the small convoy already
available and arrange to meet the more
powerful convoy of SIMPSONS fleet some
where in the neighborhood of the Windward
PASSAGE If any danger at all exists for the
transports in the shape of the lurking Span
ish gunboats, it is not believed there is rea-
son for apprehension in the waters west of
Cape Maysi, the eastern extremity of Cuba
If this course were adopted. full thirty-six
hours might be saved in the time required
for the transports to reach Santiago

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE arrival of
the Monterey at Coronado island two days
out from San Francisco as reported in the
press dispatches, came as a surprise to the
Navy Department showing that the stop
was not included in the Monterey's itine-
rary. The loss of eighty-three tons of coal
by being washed overheard, is said by the
officials to be inconsequential and not a
sufficient reason for the stop. The collier
Brutus, which is accompanying the monitor
has on board 4700 tons of coal, enough TO
tow the Monterey around the world so that
it must have been because of some slight
accident aboard ship that the Monterey
went into Coronado. This great circle that
the captain of the Monterey has selected as
the line on which he will proceed to the
Philippines, If started afreSh from the pres
ent location of the ship, would bring the
Monterey very close to the Caroline islands
en- route, and it may be that she will stop
there to coal in some sheltered harbor if it
is found desirable to do so. 1t is said, how
ever, by persons familiar with the present
disposition of the administration, that the
plans do not contemplate the seizure cf
these islands by the Monterey, nor yet of The
Island of Gugan, the principal one of
tie Ladrone group, by the Charleston
The latter ship may, as was in
dicated in these dispatches when she sailed
from Mare island, touch in at the Ladrone
islands en- route just as the Monterey may
do in the case of the Carolines, but it is not
the present intention to formally occupy any
of these islands. OF course, it is realized
that the development of our foreign policy
may in the end lead up to some such ac-
QUESTION as necessary ports of coal and coal
ing stations on the long route from San
Francisco to Manila.

TAMPA, Fla. June 1.-THE army of in
vasion is now embarked on a large fleet of
swift transports.
The first official notification that the time
for movement had arrived came in the form
of a general order posted on May 81. The
embarkation assumed definite shape on Mon
day afternoon, June g. when the First
United States Infantry, Major General Shaf-
ter's old command regiment famous in
the history Of the army, was given the
honor of embarking first. AS the regiment
marched down the long pier at Port Tampa,
with their band playing. they caused the
most intense enthusiasm. During the rest
of that afternoon and until daylight next
morning the movement was resumed with
the utmost vigor.
All day Tuesday the wharves were NOV
ing mass of excited humanity. Late In the
afternoon every commanding officer was or
dered to get to his regiment in readiness for
immediate movement, and soon afterward
word was sent ou: to send the troops on
the transports as rs pidly as possible. Trains
of coaches and cars of all descriptions were
placed on sidings near the various camps,
and baggage, arms and ammunition were
hurried on board.
On Tuesday evening, about 8 o'clock, Lieu
tenant Miley, who was in the hotel tele-
graph office with General Miles, was seen
to rush into the hall towards General Shaf-
ter's apartments. Immediately the two re-
turned rapidly to the telegraph Office. The
regular operator was evicted, the Office
doors were closed and Capt. j. E. Brady, the
censor, took the key. General Miles and
General Shafter were then placed in direct
communication with the War Department,
and half hours conference ensued. The
termination of this resulted in a hurried
whispered conference among the lesser Off
Gals. followed by wave of excitement
"The army of invasion must Immediately
depart" was the word.
From the comparative calm of few min
utes before the scene was changed to one of
action. Scurrying feet hurried the order
from room to room, while horses fiecked
with foam sped from camp to camp. special
trains were hurriedly coupled and baggage
piled aboard. All during the night the
teVerish rush continued
