SWIFT TRANSPORTS.
Fourteen Fine Steamers TO Carry
Troops to Cuba.


New York. May IA transport fleet
of fourteen fine passenger steamers was
chartered in this city yesterday by the
United States Government to carry
troops to Cuba.
The contracts were made quickly and
Guietly by the War Department in WASH
ington, and the news only leaked out
late yesterday afternoon.
The ships chartered are the finest yes
sels of their class, modern in construc-
ton and equipment. and of an average
xpeed of fourteen knots. Most OF them
belong TO lines running to West Indian
and Gulf ports that were forced to sus-
pend service on account of the war. The
charter of the vessels by the Govern
ment thus comes as a godsend to their
owners. who had laid the big ships up
for an indefinite period of idleness.
The lucky steamship companies are
the Ward line, Mallory line. Clyde line
and Lone Star line. The Mallory line
furnishes the Seneca, Saratoga, Nigilan-
cia, City of Washington. Seguranca, fu-
catan and San Diego. The Seneca and
City of Washington were at their pier
Yesterday. and the crews were busy
cleaning and overhauling them The rest
The Mallory line furnishes four ships
the San Marcos. Rio Grande. Leona and
Concho, from the Port Royal and Key
West service.
From the Clyde line the ships Cherokee
and Iroquois were chartered. They re-
Gently ran to the West Indies. The Lone
Star line furnished the English-built ship
Matteawan. The latter vessel is on her
way from Pensacola to Mobile.
Immediate
session of the chartered ships, and issued
instructions for work to be begun imme-
diately in fitting them up with tempo
rary hunks for the soldiers and stalls for
horses.
The fleet is expected to carry 10000
troops, with coal for twenty days, and
1900 tons of provisions. AT the offices
of the steamship companies no informa-
tion could be obtained concerning the
immediate movements of the vessels,
and few Of the owners would admit that
they had chartered to the Government.
1t was learned. however. from official
authority, that the ships are ordered to
provision and coal at once, and report
at Key West for orders as soon as pos
sible. They will all be on their way to
the rendezvous before the end of the
week.
In addition to the passenger ships the
wrecking steamer william E. Chapman
was also chartered by the Government
Yesterday, but the exact nature of the
service for which she is wanted was
not made public. Her orders are to pro-
ceed at once to Key West.

PLACING FITzHUGH LEE.
He May Soon BE Military Gorern'
of Captured Cuba,

He May Soon BE Military Governor
Of Captured Cuba,
The matter of military governor for
Cuba was discussed at the Cabinet meet
ing yesterday and 1t was practically de-
cided to give Gen. Lee the place.
Gen. Lee is exceedingly anxious to re-
turn to the island as the commander of a
division of the Army in order to pay
some old scores with Spanish officials,
and the President places SO much reli-
ance in his good judgment that he will
be made the military governor of the ISL
and pending the establishment of a sta
BILE government. He is liked by the Gu
bans, for whom he has repeatedly proved
his friendship.
Gen. Lee Is no longer United States
consul general to Havana. He rendered
his resignation to the Secretary of State.
and 1t will be acted upon in a day or two.
The resignation was put in Judge Days
hands Immediately after General Lee

teers.

Lain set TO work and secured their release
early yesterday morning.
Lieut.. Rowan declined to tell what he
had communicated TO the insurgent chiefs
or what their reply had been. but he was
in high spirits. and easily permitted the
inference that his mission had been sue
cessful. 1t is certain that all arrange
ments have been perfected by which the
insurgents are to cooperate with the in
vading Army of the United States.
The lieutenant said that Gen. Calixto
Garcia had forced the Spaniards to evacu-
ate many towns. and had set up in each
a fine government under men of the high
est responsibility. In Holquin. last
month. the insurgents had attacked the
Spanish forces under Fregredas with dy-
