Swing Before Then.
WASHINGTON, April 20. in the war
department the belief is growing that
the campaign proper in Cuba will not
be in full swing before fall, when the
rainy season Is ended. That, however,
has not prevented the officers whose
duty it is to get the troops together
from pushing their work with the
greatest energy. Thus, within IL hours
after the Hull bill became law, the
department was able to begin to send
out circulars prescribing the methods
TO be followed in recruiting the regular
army up to its full war strength Of 61,.
200 men. The enormous amount of
work involved in thus increasing the
army, regular and volunteer, has
caused General Miles to abandon his
Southern trip for the present.
