MUCH SUFFERING IN CUBA
CONDITION OF ISLAND SHOWN
BY CAPTURED LETTERS.
Suffering Among Poorer Glasses Of
Havana-Spaniards Expected to
Abandon Santiago, If Blockaded.

New York, May 5.-A special to the
Tribune from Kew West says:
The mail bags on the Spanish steam
er Argonauta, which was brought in by
the Marblehead yesterday, may prove
most important capture. There were
u in all. They contained mail both
to and from Havana, some confusion
having resulted when the authorities
arranged TO send everything by way of
Cienfuegos to avoid the blockade of the
northern coast of Cuba.
One letter from Havana, under date
of April &c. spoke Of suffering among
the poorer classes of the poulatiOn, who
were entirely without means of sup
port The writer himself said he did
not know where he was to get his din
ner. Another letter spoke of suffering,
but apparently the government had a
fair amount of supplies for the soldiers.
A large amount of rice had been i'm
ported by spectators, who foresaw the
blockade and placed it in a warehouse.
Blanco was expected to seize this.
The Argonauta had a cargo, chiefly
of provisions, intended for Havana
The suggestion has been made that
these food supplies be sent by the
United States. under convoy of war
ships, to relieve the recOncentradOS.
The mail taken shows that the cORdi-
ton of the Spanish in eastern Cuba
was desperate. They were then on the
point of yielding some of the smaller
garrisoned cities held by them. The
later report that the Spanish garrison
at Bayamo has capitulated to the in
surgents confirms the statements in
these letters that the troops could not
hold out. They were badly off for
both food and ammunition.
II will not be surprising If news
comes before long that the Spaniards
have abandoned Santiago. If the port
was blockaded. they would be forced
TO do so

Plans For Its Formation Into Corps
and Brigades.

Washington, May Now that the
formation of the volunteer army and the
recruiting of the regular army to its
full war strength is fairly under way,
the president and Secretary Alger are
giving some attention TO the question of
the subdivision into corps, divisions,
brigades, etc. Several plans already have
been mapped out, but so far it is said
none has been finally determined upon.
The nomination of a number of major
and brigadier generals today, however,
will hasten the completion OF this work.
The law for the formation of the volun-
teer army leaves 1t discretionary with
the president as to whether three or more
regiments shall constitute a brigade and
also whether two or three divisions shall
constitute corps. Those questions de-
termined upon hnally. the assignment of
the major and brigadier generals viii be
fixed readily.
General Miles favors the formation OF
seven corps in all-tWo in the regular
army and five in the volunteer army. In
other quarters, Il has been suggested
that the volunteers be divided into three
corps. A major general commands either
a corps or a division, so that the plan
determined upon will provide for suf-
hcient number of these to give assign
mentS to the officers of the higher grades.
The volunteer army act also makes pro-
vision for d complete staff for the com
manders OF corps, divisions and brigades
who are to be appointed by the president
and confirmed by the senate.
