Tampa, Fla, May "a. = Elaborate
arrangements have been made for the
banquet to be held at Tampa Bay hotel
today in honor of Queen Victoria's
birthday. Covers for about $50 seats
will be laid. Colonel Wylie, of the gov
ernor of Alabama's staff, will act as
POSTMASTER. Everything waits on news
from the fleets. When the long-looked
for and long-hoped for meeting be-
tween Admiral Sampson and Cervera
takes place (and military officers do not
for moment question the result) 1t Is
the general belief that orders will be
given to put the army on board the
transports at once. Should the original
plan be carried out of sending only
regular troops on the first expedition, the
fleet of transports at Port Tampa is
amply sufficient for that purpose.
With the arrival yesterday of the
Iroquois, Santiago and Cherokee, twen-
ty-one transports are now at the port.
every one fitted ready for embarkation
These ships will easily accommodate
between $4,000 and 10000 men, somewhat
over the total number of regular troops
in camp here. 1t is thought thirty-six
hours after orders are issued to embark
every man, horse and pound of supplies
can be placed on board the vessels in
waiting. The first provisional volun-
teer brigade has been formed. 1t con-
