AFTER many seemingly uucalled fol

AFTER many seemingly uucalled for
delays, the transports bearing troops
for the invasion of Cuba finally got
away from Tampa, Tuesday. 1t was
believed Monday night, even by the
officials at Washington, that the trans
ports had passed Key West and were
we'll on the way to Santiago, but to
the general disgust it was announced
Tuesday morning that all of the
fl let had not yet even left Tampa. The
fl let consists of forty-nine vessels, of
which fourteen are warships. Mean
while the brave band of marines at
Crest Heights are fighting almost con-
stantly, day and night, to retain their
hold on Cuban soil, until the arrival
of the troops. Numerous fights haye
been had tg the marines and Span

leans nearly three to one, but only
few of Uncle Sans lads have been
killed. Many reports as to what steps
Spain is taking are published, but af-
ter reading them for several days, one
becomes satisfied that there is abso-
lutely no Truth in anything coming
from there. The Dons are keeping
their every move secret, but as much
cannot be said OF the Americans. An
American officer landed near Santiago,
and, stealing close in. saw Cervera's
feet in the harbor. United States
war ships are still watching the en-
trance to this harbor like a cat guard
ing a rat hole. There is one thing
certain, and that is this bottled up
fleet is we'll out of the way, as the
Spaniards will either have to surren-
der or destroy them. The invading
army will doubtless land in Cuba to-
day and we believe bitter fight will
be waged by our men. The Ameri-
cans. being anxious to get away from
the place, will make every shot count,
and fight like tigers. All the officers
and men want to get down to bust

have done so long ago, had it not been
for the disgusting way in which they
have been delayed by the authorities
