to again embark so large number of troops
from that port without considerably enlarg-
ing the shipping facilities.
1t will be roticed that by far the larger
portion of the expedition is made up of in
fantry, although an unusually large num-
Der of artillery is included, and that the
cavalry is almost altogether lacking. It is
expected, however, that the dismounted cav
airy with the expedition will be mounted
later on in Cuba either from the stock of
native horses or from mounts that will fol-
low them from this country. Owing to the
mountainous and jungle-like character of
the country back of Santiago where the
troops must operate, there will he little op-
portunity for the use of cavalry so that
the expedition has not been weakened in
the opinion of experts. by Withholding the
cavalry mounts at the beginning of the
campaign.
The troops will arrive off Santiago Thurs
day morning at the latest, barring storms
or accidents, and the landing probably will
take place on the afternoon of that day
or Friday following. as Admiral Sampson is
extremely anxious to reinforce the small
body of marines now ashore at Guantanamo
bay. Aside from the men and officers max

war equipment necessary to maintain an
organization of this size for at least sixty
days, Every detail for the landing of this
party has been worked out by the engineer

Captain Taylor. of the battle ship Indiana,

has been presumed that this capable officer
would be charged with this duty, but the
fact of his command can now be stated pos
itively. The makeup of the convoy fleet
is still withheld. and, in fact, the Navy De-
partment knows only as to the general
character of its strength. Besides the In
diana, one other battle ship and a first
class cruiser accompany the fleet. The other
ships are lesser cruisers. gunboats and aux
iliary craft. Five of the naval ships of the
fleet first went to Port Tampa, while eleven
remained off Key West When the five war
ships and thirty-two transports reached Key
West. a junction was made with the eleven
war ships at that point and the combined
fleets started together. Naval officials speak
of it as a magnificent marine procession

ships opened on them. There were no
casualties on the American side.
1t was decided by Colonel Huntington this
morning to abandon the position first oc-
cupied as a camp, as there were no signs
of reinforcements of troops, and it was
known that force of Spaniards six times
more numerous than the marine battalion
was in the vicinity. Therefore the crest of
the hill, which the troops held last night,
was given up to batteries and rifle pits and
the tents were pitched on the side of the
hill near the harbor. which is protected by
the war ships.

Maryland regiment and had gone away
