THE ARMY'S DELAYS.
ARE COOP REASONS FoR IT
An Immense Amount OF Equipment OF An
Kinds Had to lie manufactured Before
Men Could Fight Well.

The delay In getting off the troops to
Manila is caused by the inabilify 10 Sc
cure supplies and equipments The
contractors who are able to furnish
these things are working day and night
and are doing nobly- The quality as
well as the quantity OF the goods they
are turning out is considered cxtraor-
dinary, but a peculiar character or
equipment is needed for a climate like
Manila. and the President will not let
the troops go until they are fully pro
yided with everything that may be
necessary for their health and safety
The volunteers from the western states
are not as well Off for uniforms. arms
and ammunition. 1t is believed, how
ever, that the first expedition will be
able TO get off within the mex. day or
TWO. Others will follow as fast as the
volunteers can be mustered in and
equipped.
The criticisms OF the delay in the
movement of troops toward Cuba is
due TO an ignorance of the poverty of
our army. Ii would he the worst sort
of folly to invade Cuba until the troops

weeks we have made preparations
which would have required months in

of supplies are daily entering Tampa

this country were based on the de-
mands of an army OF 25,O00 men; with

Washington, May 19.-As the result
of several recent exchanges between
the officials of the State Department,
and those of the French embassy, an
agreeable understanding has been
reached which gives assurance of a
continuance of the traditional friend
ship existing between the United
States and France. All misapprehen-
sion on the steamer Lafayette Incl
dent and the alleged delay in. official
dispatches from Martinique We're
cleared up. AS to the Lafayette, the
State Department never questioned the
good faith of the French authorities.
As to the delay in dispatches, this was
disposed of by the fact that the mes
sages came over the British, not the
French, cable line.
