GETTING READY FOR IVY VASION Plans Being Completed at Tampa for Field
 Service. Arrangements Also Made for Landing a Large Force
 of Native Cubans. The First Infantry Regiment Is Put Through tho Emergency En-
 trenchnaent Drill.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TAMPA, Fla, May At appears to be an almost settled belief among army officers here that no movement of United States troops toward Cuba will take place until after the meeting of the Spanish fleet with Rear Admiral Sampson's squadron, which is now be- lieved to be inevitable. Nevertheless, everything possible is being done to put the United States troops in readiness for immediate shipment.
 Plans for division hospitals and the allotment of surgeons were practically completed to-day. The First Infantry, one of the regi- .ents which will be landed in Cuba was put through the emergency entrenchment drill, throw ing up entrenchments with tin cups, skilletS, tin pals or whatever was con- venient, and long practice marches in heavy marchin~ order were given other regiments.
 Preparations for the landing of a large force of native Cubans at some point in Cuba within reach of General Gomez army are beine pushed as fast as possible. How large a force 1t 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 1500 men will be armed and ready for service under the banners of Gomez before the end of the week Most of the Cubans who are now in the West Tampa camp have already had considerable military training. Their number is being constantly increased by arrivals from New York, Jackson Vile and other recruiting points.
 Two or three United States naval officers thoroughly familiar with the Cuban coast are now in Tampa for the purpose of escorting the Cuban expedi- tion to Cuba and will remain with it until the junction with Gomez is ef-

large congregation in Virginia at a
place not far from the Bull Run bat

remarks he said: II rested there on
the roots of that white oak on Sep
TENDER lst, 1862, a wounded soldier
going from an engagement at Bull

common wood button, but no less is it

H. T. Higinbotham, insurance
surveyor, representative of the San
born PERKS Map Co. Of New York,
has been in Lafayette this week for
the purpose of remapping the town.
The Gazette does not know to what
extent our insurance rates will be
reduced, but it is believed that they
will be considerably less than here
tofore. Insurance rates have been
SO high in the past that compara-
lively few of our people have been
able to insure their property. The
change will doubtless greatly in
crease the insurance business in
Lafayette. Low insurance is one
of the main benefits to accrue from
che establishment of the water
works plant.
