ARMY TO INVADE CUBA.
More Troops to Arrive at Tampa I'm.
dfcatfOns That They Will Move In
Ten Deys.

Jacksonville, Fla, May, Ia spec
ial to The Times-Union and Citizen
from Tampa, Fla, says: General
Shafter, who is looked upon as the Off
cerwho will have charge of the army of
occupation, gave an audience this ev-
ening to several newspaper men. In
the course OF the conversation the
question of counter signing war corre-
spondents' passes was brought up.
General Shafter said that he would not
assume command for a week or ten
days. as he would be busy with other
matters and would take up the subject
in ample time. This practically set
ties two very important matters. First,
that General Shafter will command
the army in Cuba, and, second, that
the troops will not leave here for CUBA
for ten days at least. The General,
while he has come to no conclusion on
the subject, will be inclined to limit
the number of accredited war corTe-
spondents to as small number as pos
Sible.
Four regiments Of infantry from
Chickamauga, Mobile and New Or
leans, arrived today, being the First,
Tenth, Twenty second and Twenty
fourth. Seven train loads made UP OF
ninety-five cars, have been reported
from points along the Plant system
and will have arrived here before
morning. The trains are bringing the
remainder of the artillery and cavalry,
horses, stores etc. One hundred addl-
tional pack mules came in with the
first regiment this morning
1t is reported tonight that d1spatch
has just been received here, the con-
tents of which indicate that 5,OOo men
of each arm, and as many Cubans
here as desire to accompany them will
leave on Tuesday and that the steam
ships Olivette and Florida of the Plant
Line were officially inspected today to
ascertain if their capacity is Sufncleht
for that number of troops. MatanZas
is mentioned as the destination. Tnls
story can not he verified.

EXTREME CoROlALlTY.
That Bs presses the Feeling Of Rus-
sia Towards tl,c United Stntcs.

That Bs presses the Feeling Of Rus-
STA Towards the United States.
Washington, May IA leading Rus
sian diplomat said that the cable re-
port from London stating that En-
peror Nicholas Of Russia was much
disturbed as to tie ultimate destiny OF
the Philippines, and that some sort OF
immediate intervention was probable,
was entirely unwarranted and placed
Russia in misleading position before
the people of this country. He says
the sentiment throughout Russia, Of
fetal and unofficial, is one of extreme
cordiality toward the United States,
and it shows there will be no change
in the traditional Friendship existing
between the United States and Russia.
The friendly feeling, he pointed out,
was shown by the Russian newspapers
which arrived III the mail of the Rus
sian embassy only yesterday. They
were published just after the declara-
ton of war, and their comment was,
without exception, Of the most friend
~ character toward the United States.
He said this feeling prevailed to a
marked extent, even among the peas
antry Of Russia, and it was matter
of surprise to him, under such circum
stances, that reports should be circu-
lated in the United States that Russia
was about to assume an unfriendly at
titude toward this country.

MAY BE MODIFIED.

Bill Providing for Enlistment of I'M
munes May BE Changed.
Washington, May lit is the under
standing of the war department that
the bill now pending in congress pro-
viding for the enlistment of over TO-
OUO ''immunes' and a brigade Of engi-
neers will be so modified Us to leave it
discretionary with the president to re-
cruit probably $4,000 men made up Of
such special classes as he may deem
best for the service. These classes, it
is said, will include ''immunes," signal
corps, cowboy companies and artillery
and engineer regiments. This course
is regarded at the war department as
better than that proposed in the bill in
that it will enable the president to pro-
vide for obtaining such troops as he
may think best.
