INVASION SUSPENDED
EXPLICIT ORDERS 10 THAT En-
FEET HAVE BEEN ISSUED.
After snmpsOn's fleet Meets the
Spanish Fleet.

Washington. May 13.--Direct orders were
given General Miles this morning suspend
ing for the present the movement OF the in
vading army on Cuba. General Miles there
fore has postponed his departure for the
South. II Ia announced apthoritatiyely by
the war department, but II can not be stated
with dcfiniteness when General Miles VIII
leave. The suspension OF the movement Of
the invading army upon Cuba was induced
by the proximity OF the Spanish Cape Verde
squadron TO Cuban waters. II is deemed
by the department to be the part OF wisdom
not TO risk the landing OF troops on Cuban
soil Until the landing can be effected under
the protection OF stronger fleet than Is
now available for the purpose OF mere pro-
lection.
The fact that the army movement has
been postponed is indirect evidence that .
decisive naval battle Is expected to occur
within few days It Is likely that the
squadron under the command OF Admiral
Sampson will seek an engagement with the
Spanish fleet at once. and It Is with the
idea OF awaiting the result OF that conflict
that the orders for the movement OF the
land forces are held in allegiance tempo
rarily.
