There is one branch of the service that is not likely to have a chance to distinguish itself in this war. Any bicycle infantry doing work Tn Cuba this summer would need to equip itself with one of the devices for travelling on water bicyclewise which are patented by sanguine inventors every month or two. Even in the dry season Cuba is about as badly provided with roads available for bicycle use as any spot of inhabited land on the surface of the globe, and people who know it well tell us that the elaborate system of high ways which appear on some of the more ambitious maps exists only on paper,

lie Was Too Direct.


 It isD always advisable to come to the point too quickly. 4 boy was sum- moned to testify in 8 case of assault, m which one man had struck another across the head with a stick.
 A host Of witnesses had been called. who "beat about the bush" in the most tedious and provoking manner. This very much annoyed the counsel for the prosecution, who broke out as follows:
 "Here, my lad, we've been going round and round this case for hours, and yet have no direct evidence. Now. sir," he savagely continued, "hear what I have to say: I want you to come to the point. Did you see the blow struckY'
 "Yes, sir"
 "Ah, ah!" chuckled the lawper, rub bing his hands, "we have something to work upon. Here, my good lad. take this cane (handing him hls walking stick). If you saw the blow struck, you must know how it was glven.''
 "Yes, sir, T."
 "Now, then, no words about it. tell you" thundered the interrogator. "I'm the complainant and you are the pris- oner. Now just raise the stick and show the court"
 The bewildered lad did "raise the stick." and the next moment it came down upon the pate of the astonished lawyer and sent him staggering to his seat
 That's the way it was done, sir," said the lad, amid the shrieks of laugh. ter of everybody present.
 The discomfited counsel, with a ghastly attempt to smile, said that he had done with the witness-the evid- ence was much too direct for hlm.

On board the Associated Press dis patch boat Dandy. off Santiago de Cuba.

army for 5Ge invasion .E Cub. s55a. l6,005 strong. -5uu11sad Jr General ehafter, arrived of Santiago de Cuba at noon today The time of it's disem barkation has not yet been determined upon, but 1t probably will be within three days.
 When the fleet of thirty-five trans ports swept up the southern coast to- day and slowed up within sight of the doomed city of Santiago, the anxiously- awaited soldiers were greeted with ring ing cheers which faintly re-echoed to the transports from the decks of the blockading warships far inshore. They were answered by the troops most en- thusiastically in kind.
 It was o'clock this morning when the lookout on the armored cruiser Brooklyn reported seeing the smoke of several steamers away to the southeast, and a moment or two later announced that dozen or two transports were in sight. The uews was exchanged from ship to ship. and then the auxiliary cruiser Gloucester, formerly J. P. Mor- gan's yacht Corsica, darted away to meet and welcome the troops.
 About half an hour later a grim for est of masts had sprung up, apparently from the sea, and an impressive scene was presented as the armada swept gracefully up from the horizon towards the shore where great struggle is to take place.
 The transports were ranged in three shifting lines, with the battlesbip Indi- ana on the extreme right and other men of.war on the outskirts of the fleet. In this order the transports and escorts steamed slowly Tn toward the hills, where Morro's red walls gleamed in the sunlight.
 An order from Admiral Sampson stopped the advance otthe ships about fifteen mics to the southeast, and es- corted by the Gloucester, General Shaf- ter went forward on the Seguranca to confer with the admiral. The transports lay on 8 smooth sea, while plans were discussed by the leaders on the flag ship. Not the faintest intimation Of their jnteuti0l leE.rding the landing has been a.iCW-Q : L1caru. LuduGbt- edly, however, some of the troops will be landed at Guantanamo bay to re- leve the marines there, but it is gen. erally believed that the main body will be landed much nearer Santiago. Tbe long, trying journey from Tampa left the men in much better condition than was antici pated.
 Owing to the smoothness of the pas sage, the soldiers were not generally af- fected by seasickness. They are all wildly anxious to get ashore to begin fighting Much satisfaction was ex- pressed among tte troops when it be- came known that the actual capture of Santiago IS to be left to the army. The horses and mules on the transports suf- fered severely, many of them dying.
 The American fleet off Santiago has been materially strengthened by the addition of the warships which escorted the transports, consisting of the Indi- ana, Montgomery, Bancroft, Helena, Ericsson and Foote.

There have been ugly reports from time to time of the lack of harmony be- tween the fighting branches of the gov ernment, and upon more than one oc- casion Mr. Mckinley is said to have had to exercise hls authority to compel them to work together. It is also said that there have been frequent clashes be- tween General Merritt, who is to com mand the army in the Philippines, and Secretary Alger; also between the lat ter and General Miles, who IS reported to have charged Alger with being re- sponsible for the demoralization he found existing in army matters when he got to Florida None of these things are pleasant to write, hut thew ex-lr;-, why things are not moving faster.
