TROOPS FOR SANTIAGO.
The Expedition From Tampa to Sail
i'm Few Days

Preparations for the sending of re-en-
forcements to Gen. Shafter are rapidly
nearing completion. and the expedition is
expected to leave Tampa within two or
three days.
The transports are being loaded as fast
as the work can be done, and as soon
as the boats are loaded the troops will
be embarked.
Prof Wright P. Edgerton. of the West
Point Military Academy. who was in
Washington last week has been sent TO
Port Tampa to assist Lieut.. Col Edward
Rice in experimenting the work of load
ing and arranging the transports for the
trip.
The Lampasas and the Neuces. two
large transports which left New York for
Tampa recently. are now expected at
that port, but they will hardly be ready
to leave with the expedition, as they are
not yet ready for the reception of troops.
Gen. Miles is arranging to leave for the
South very shortly, and his departure is
daily expected at the War Department
He expects to accompany the transports
TO Santiago, and may be there in time to
witness the fall of the city.
After that is accomplished. he will go
to Porto Rico and supervise the insular
campaign to be waged for the supremacy
of that possession.
The Porto Rico campaign is expected to
begin about the latter part of next week.
as it is believed that Santiago will have
fallen by the Fourth of July. This is the
present intention of Gen. Shafter.

TO CALL CAMARA BACK.
The Administration Wishes to Fight
Him on This Side the World.


The haste displayed by the Navy De-
partment in making public its determina-
ton to dispatch a squadron to attack
Spain, and the further publicity given
its preparations for the campaign across
the Atlantic. even TO the number and for
midable class of the warships detailed for
the attack, together with their command
ers. is quite remarkable from any point
of view, and has elected no little sur
prise.
To thus make public property of its
plans after having for many weeks past
exercised most stringent censorship
over the minutest details of war maneuv-
ers. the Administration has, without
doubt. a purpose. the exact purport of
which was perhaps accurately defined by
a naval officer yesterday when he said:
1T is the intention of the Navy Depart
ment TO engage Camara's squadron on
this side of the world if possible and de-
! stroy it. This is considered more feasible
and safer than to permit Camara TO meet
Admiral Dewey in the philippines.
Right now Spains shores are p rae
tically defenseless. Her Notifications,
without naval protection, would soon fall
under such fire as this proposed fly
ing squadron could deliver. Camara is
still within calling distance. His squad
ron can be summoned home without de-
Iay. The news of our determination to
carry the war across the Atlantic and
into Spain has without doubt already
been received in Madrid. There is little
doubt that Camata will be called back
to protect Spain's shores directly ii is
apparent that We are in earnest on this
side of the water This Is to the purpose
of the Administration.
''Camara's start for the Philippines was
not responsible for the determination to
attack Spain by sea. which is no sud
denly conceived resolve, but ii is respon-
sible for the publicity that has been
given the plans and preparations for the
attack"
II is believed that the unexpected and
rather sensational developments of yes
terday bear a close relation 10 the Sc
cret anxiety in official circles over the
! perpleXins delay in hearing from Admi-
/ raj Dewey. His exact situation is un-
| known, and it was therefore deemed ex-
! pedient To stop Camara by some sudden
move on this side of the world If possible
! and prevent him reaching the Philippines
/ to engage Admiral Dewey This move
/ was delayed until the last minute until
! Camaras SQUADRON had arrived at the
| head of the Suez Canal. the last place
/ from whence ne could conveniently be re-
! called before reaching the open sea.

NO ANXIETY FELT.
Gen. Shaffer Has the Entire Conf
dence OF the Administrations.

Gen. Shafter Has the Entire Conf
dence Of the Administrations.
The War Department was in receipt of
no official news from the front yesterday.
Il was thought that Gen Shafter would
send some kind of a bulletin stating how
the campaign is proceeding. but nothing
whatever was received from him.
No anxiety is felt. however, because o:
lack Of communication from Santiago.
Gen. Shafter has the entire confidence of
the Department and the magnificent land
ing made by his troops near Bal
quiri as we'll as the superb man
ner in which he has sent detach-
ments to the front. has afforded further
assurance Of his ability to take care of
himself and his men. It is believed that
Gen. Shafter is too busily engaged hur-
rying his army 10 Sevilla to send any dis
patches to the adjutant general just at
present and he may not communicate
until something further has been done in
the way Of a fight.
1t is not believed that the grand ad-
vance upon Santiago will begin until to-
morrow. as it will require that time 10
advance the entire army and the heavy
broad tabIeand which extends around
the bay ard upon which the city OF San
t.ago is located. If these heavy siege
guns are drawn over the steep and mar
row mountain rails that Col Roosevelt S
Rough Riders passed. it must require con-
siderable labor TO get them to the desired
positions
The prospects for a rapid advance upon
Santiago from Sevilla. as far as topog-
raphy Of the country is concerned, are
altogether very fair. Along the stretch
Of land between these two places are
several good roads. which will afford
our men a better chance for marching
than the mountain trails between Bal
Quiri and SevilIa. There is also a rail
road that can be used from Siboney. near
Sevilla, TO Santiago. The Spanish end of
the road at Santiago has been destroyed
bus the tracks and the roadbed are good
from SibOney to Santiago, and troops
and supplies will be transported along
that portion of the line TO one of the
main points of attack.
The march from Sevilla will be over a
practically level country. The principal
intrenchments and military obstacles TO
be encountered as the city is approached
will be a number of shallow trenches and
a trocha of barbed wire. which has only
recently been built around the city The
American engineers are prepared to re-
move that obstacle with modern ap-
pliances and methods, and little delay
Will therefore be caused from that source
The War Department has been flooded
with telegrams during the past few days
making inquiries to the killed and
wounded last Friday. Gen. Shafter has
been cabled to make full report of killed
as soon as possible. but that has not
yet arrived. and until it does the War
Department will not be able to make
any definite replies to those asking in
formation.

SPA|N's HOME TROUBLES
On the Edge of a Tremendous
Political Crisis.
SAGASTA WATCHING WEYLER
The Premier Knows the Plans of
The Cariists Pnd Is Believed tO
Have Nude Arrangements to
Keep the Friends of the preten-
der at "a Safe Distance.

New York. June 27-The Herald prints
the following from its European edition,
dated Madrid, June %:
we are living here on the immediate
edge of a political crisis. the gravity of
which none can forecast. Everything is
possible. yet you ind serious men less
willing now to believe in the possibility
of revolution than heretofore.
"As matters grow worse in the Philip
pines and Cuba for the Spaniards the
spirit of peace. which the government al
ready holds so strongly, generalizes it
self. The most serious concern is rela-
tive to the movements of the Carlists
who are known to have much money at
fhcir back.
LAS long as Sagasta remains at the head
Of the government the Car.ists have
small chance. Their bitter enemy knows
their hand as we'll as themselves. He
does not fear them.
"Weyler. universally accepted as the
head of the Carlists. is minutely watched.
/ am told that means will be taken TO
keep the much-talked of general at a
distance"
The Herald's correspondent at VaIen-
day:
only three weeks ago no one VINO re-
garded his personal safety could publicly
advocate peace here. Now, however. the
subject is admitted everywhere as de-
| batabie. Platonic aspirations after peace
| find echo from every corner of the land.

here. THE issue" it continues ''!s not

The greatest obstacle to peace is The

to draw information from q press that
has trevestied the history of the war
from the beginning.

every American navy vessel has been dis
abled at one time or another by Spanish

GARCIA's SENTIMENTS.
He Emphasizes the Importance of
His Own Troops.

His own Troops.
Thomas W. Steep. the correspondent for
the Scripps-McRae Press Association in
eastern Cuba. sends the following;
With Garcia's Forces. Juguani. Cuba.
June 21 via Kingston, Jam. June I'll
have met and interviewed Major Gen.
Calixto Garcia, commander OF the Cuban
forces in the eastern part of CUBA. He is
moving on to Santiago having arrived
here from Bayamo two days ago.
AT Santiago he hopes to participate in
the occupation OF the city on d cO-opera-
tive basis with the American troops. IF
there had been any publications in the
United States relative 10 my cooperation
with your Gen. Miles,, he said. 10 me in
an argumentatiye voice. and raising his
finger by way of emphasis. II wish to
say now and for all that will not per-
init the Cuban soldiers themselves TO be
lost sight of in this last struggle by rea-
son of the superior strength OF the Ameri-
can troops. ! do not wish 70 assist the
Americans. but TO work with them on
an equal basis.
With this statement General Garcia re-
ceived me. I had not been seated in his
camp five minutes That and what he
further stated fully reveals the DISPOSE
ton of the leaders of the Cuban army,
which has slowly been cropping out; that
IS, that jealousy for America runs with
hatred for Spain, and that they retain a
firm idea of their Importance in the final
struggle.
Garcia has about 1880 men here. Every
one of them is in dire need of better arms,
better clothing and better food.
/ brought the first intelligence OF the
arrival yesterday Of the American troops
off Santiago into the Cuban fields. De-
spite the sentiments of Garcia, the rank
and file of the Cuban army is more than
willing to come under the Stars and
Stripes.
When 1 left Garcia for my own tent,
he called me back and said: Don't mis-
construe my statements. My love for
America is great
