Slowly HUI surely Plans Are Being Carried
Out for Landing the American
Forces In Cuba.

TAMPA, Fla, May 3-Slowly but
surely arrangements are being made
for the landing of American forces in
Cuba. BY Friday the following fleet
of vessels is expected to be in waiting
at the wharves at Tampa for the re-
ception of the United States troops:
The Florida, Olivette and Mascotte, of
the Plant line; the Alamo and Comal,
of the Mallory line; the Arkansas and
possibly the Lampasas, of the Oregon
line, and the Allegheney and
Burkshire. of the Merchants &
Miners line. These boats all have
been contracted for and have a
carrying capacity of about 5000 troops.
1t is not believed. however, that the
embarkation will take place before
Sunday. Much remains to be done in
the way Of gathering ammunition and
supplies, and several days must elapse
before all is in readiness. 1t is be.
lieve2 that the force will be made up
of 300 infantry, 1000 cavalry and ten
batteries of artillery, in all close to
5000 men. Only one regiment of cav
airy, the Ninth, is now in camp at
Tampa, but the Tenth. now at Chicka-

Shortly after the incorporation Of tho

trees in growing older would spread
their boughs and protect the passing
pilgrims from the rays of a hot sum-

years rolled by, expand until its bene-
ficent effects covered sunny Kansas and
brought joy to the hearts Of her people.
Gov. ST. John set apart holiday for
that special purpose, and with appro-

trees of different varieties were planted.

WHAT great war really costs may
best be gathered from what follows.
BY far the most costly struggle OF re-
cent times was the American civil war
of 1861, when the outlay of the north
amounted to 81, 500, 900, 900 and that OF
the south to s., 300, 900. .O0o-a total cx-
penditure OF no less than 81, 100, O0o. 900.
No European war within the last 80
years has incurred such an immense
outlay as this, but the Franco-Prus-
sian war cost ut the lowest estimate,
q, 800, 900, 600, while the Crimean cam.
