Inc transports Which were leIt at tampa
carried an OF the troops they could ac-
commodate day or two ago. Between
5.0Jo ana o'Voo men were ieit mere ana
there was no provision there Tor theIr
prompt transportation, winch no doubt ac-
counts Tor the fact that they have Deen
ordered to savannah 10 embark Tor CuDa
The troops can be brought TO savannah by
the time the transports arrive, ana thus
Two or three days can be saved IN their
movement to Santiago de Cuba, as 1t
would require some two days or more Tor
them TO make the addlConal trip around
10 tampa ana from there 80 to cuba.
lt Is not known at Just What moment the
transportation OF the troops from tampa

tons 10 the railroads were that they are
TO be moved at once, when means, no
doubt, just as soon as the necessary cars
can be got together at Tampa and the men
put on board of them. The Plant System
sent to Tampa from Savannah and other
points last night all the coaches and
STOCK cars winch could pe raked ana
scraped together. These cars viii arrive
at Tampa this morning; others VIII arrive
there tomorrow night, and by that time
there will probably be transportation ia
ciliCies enough there 10 handle oil of the
men and animals, or at least greater
part of them.
What transports will come to Savan-
nah for these troops is not yet known.
The two large transports, Mississippi and
Mohawk, recently secured by the gov
eminent, have, according to Associated
Press advices, started for Tampa. 1t may
be that these along with several others
will come here to take on the troops from
Tampa.
1t is not known just what regiments re-
main at Tampa since the recent embarka-
ton of troops on the six transports re-
naming there after Skaters army sailed;
put II IS known that the Second Georgia
Regiment United States Volunteers. is
among them, and will i'm all probability
be among the troops to come to Savannah
TO embark for Cuba Among other regi~
ments at Tampa are the SiXty-ninth New
YORK First Florida, Fifth Ohio, Eleventh
