ADVANCE ON CUBA
Will Follow the Defeat of the Spanish
Flotilla

TAMPA, Fla, May At appears to be
an almost settled belief among army Of
ficers here that no movement Of United
States troops toward Cuba will take place
until after the meeting Of the Spanish
fleet with Rear Admiral SIMPSONS squad
ron, which IS now believed to be inevita-
BILE. Nevertheless, everything possible is
being done to put the United States troops
in readiness for immediate shipment.
Preparations for the landing of large
force of antive Cubans at some point in
Cuba within reach of General Gomez
army are being pushed as fast as possible.
How large a force it will be is uncertain.
The Cuban recruiting offices that have
been opened here are fairly overwhelmed
with applicants for enlistment, and it Is
very probable that close to 1900 men will
be armed and ready for service under the
banners of Gomez before the end Of the
week.
Two or three United States naval Off
GERS, thoroughly familiar with the Cuban
coast, are now in Tampa for the purpose
of escorting the Cuban expedition to Cuba
and will remain with it until the juncture
with Gomez is effected.

warm weather I do not see any other
remedy but by covering the ditch over by
wire screens. However, the sterlizing of

pendent visited the Austrian warship Do

thing relative to the report that one of the

port was confirmed. The man under arrest
is an Italian-American. The man was con-
fined in an iron cage six feet square and is
fed on water and hard biscuit. He will be
kept in confinement until the ship returns
to Austria and will then be handed over to
the authorities charged with the serious
crime of having attempted to blow up the
vessel. 1t was stated that dynamite has
been found in the possession of the accused
The correspondent had chat with the
sailor. The story regarding the arrest of
the dynamiter was general on board and
was being discussed by the ships crew.
The penalty for such an act is death by
shooting. The sailor admitted that he had
tempered with the lock of the magazine,
and the fact that he was an 1talian-Amer-
lean added much to the sensational part Of
the affair.
