Nearly 10000 Men VIII Leave Chicka-
manga for Cuba.
Chickamauga Park, Ca, June "a
The order issued Sunday to immediate
ly equip and prepare fifteen regiments
Of the First corps to form an expedi-
tionary force was revoked by Major
General Brooke yesterday. This does
not change the plan to prepare for an
expedition, however. since the revoking
order effects more especially the trans
fers named in the former order. 1t pro-
vides further thatinsteadof fifteen regi-
ments being Immediately equipped and
prepared the entire First corps of twen-
ty-seven regiments Is to be hastily pre-
pared for active field service, and the
natural inference prevails among the
best posted army officers at the park
that the entire force will be of for
Tampa or other seaports within a week
or ten days, or as rapidly as transports
can be provided. Regiments included
are the Twenty-first Kansas One Hun
dred and Fifty-eighth Indiana, One
Hundred and Sixtieth Indiana, Thirty
first Michigan, Second Wisconsin. Third
Illinois, Third Wisconsin and Fifth Illi-
nois.
Major General Brooke was appointed
by the president to command the corps
Major General Wade will be left in
command at Camp Thomas. This Is in
fact the understanding of members Of
General Brookes staff, and the change
made by yesterdays order appears to
have been in accordance with General
Brooke's desire not to go to the front
without sufficient men for any
emergency that might arise. The
work of equipping the corps Is
proceeding with all possible speed and
the quartermasters and the ordnance
departments are being taxed to their
utmost capacity. The One Hundred and
Sixtieth Indiana regiment has received
its full number Of guns. 1t is more than
likely that the regiments will all be paid
before any of them are ordered out The
privates will be paid at the rate OF
$3.50 per month and officers from SIS to
1921. 81 per month.

Dons Some Real War.
Washington, June 2S-The admins
tration yesterday finally came to de-
cision to send an American squadron to
the Spanish coast and into the Mediter-
ranean. Several times since the war
broke out rumors to this effect have
circulated, but the project had not
matured; 1t required the Spanish move
ment toward the Philippines by Ca
mara's squadron to decide the navy
department to adopt thfs bold stroke.
The first announcement was made yes
terday through a bulletin posted at the
war department The detail Of the YES
sells selected to constitute Commodore
Watsons eastern squadron was an
nounced and official orders were given
to provision the fleet for four months.
The squadron will be under command
of Commodore Watson.
1t will be impossible for Commodore
Watson to get down before the Fourth
of July. This would seem to be an
suspicious date for the beginning of
an expedition that will for the first
time in the worlds history start from
the new world to attack continental
Europe No attempt is made to deny
that the government is influenced in
ordering this movement by desire to
check the progress eastward OF the
Cadiz fleet. The determination to send
this squadron against Spain was the
outcome of direct official advces reach
ing the state and navy departments as
to the progress of Admiral Camaras
squadron. These advices give list of

The additional information comes
from official sources that this squadron
is at Port Said and expects to take on
board 10000 tons of coal before entering
the Suez canal. Such a heavy coaling
will take some time. 1t discloses also
that the admiral expects to make long
sail, and is doubtless headed for the
Philippines, point which the officials
here doubted at first. The squadron

SPANISH CORTEs SUSPENDED.
Significant Omission When the Members
Leave the Chamber.

Leave the Chamber.
Madrid, June 25.-The cabinet met
yesterday under the presidency Of the
queen regent. Premier Sagasta briefly
explained the situation at home and
abroad. The queen regent signed a de-
cree suspending the cortes. General Cor
rea, minister for war, said that active
operations would be commenced
against the American troops who were
entrenched at Santiago de Cuba" The
decree of the queen regent suspending
the cortes was read in the senate last
evening. Prior to the reading Of the
decree in the chamber of deputies,
which was crowded, as were also the
galleries, Salmeron, the Republican
leader, declared that some of his re-
marks had been omitted from the off,
cial report of Thursdays proceedings.
The president of the chamber, Mar
quis Vega d'Armijo said the omission
must be attributed TO the uproar, which
had probably prevented the reporters
from hearing him. Senior Salmeron
then said he wished to have included in
the official report his declarations throw
ing the responsibility for all the mis-.
fortunes of the country upon the mon
archy. Senior Sagasta at this point rose
and read the royal decree suspending
parliament. The chamber then adj
journed, without the customary cheers
for the throne.

authority that almost 10000 Spanish SOL
diers have arrived at Santiago de Cuba
since the American advance began. 1t
is added that General Pando may be
able to effect a junction with General
Linares at Santiago de Cuba.
Washington, June 29.-It was very
late in the day when the first dispatch
within two days came to the war de-
partment from General Shafter, but the
news was regarded as so good that
there was no disposition to complain. 1t
disclosed very satisfactory rate OF pro-
gress on the part of Gen. Shafter towards
the town of Santiago itself. and appar-
emily he has gained all this ground and
has come within three miles of San
tiago without suffering any losses since
the bloody skirmish of Friday last AL
together the performance is regarded as
very gratifying to the department here.
AS near as can be gathered from the
brief dispatch the American army is
now at the fork in the road, one branch
of which leads to Santiago and the 9TH
err to MORO castle, at the entrance to
the harbor General Shafter Is thus
free to move in either direction, accord
ing to the demands Of the campaign.
With 1900 men who reinforced him
Monday on the Yale and the additional
brigade that will reach him today it
may be possible to make even more
rapid progress.
Rushing Aid to Gen. Shafter.
Meanwhile further reinforcements are
being prepared and dispatched as rap
idly as the best energies Of the depart
ment can direct, and 1t is believed that
several thousand men sailed from Tam
pa yesterday directly for Santiago. The
department has had in mind the diff
culties Of the campaign that are just
developing to the public eye, such as
the use for the first time In civilized
warfare of barbed wire fencing as a
means of defense, and acting upon the
advice Of some of our army officers who
were in Cuba while the fighting was
confined to the Spaniards and the insur-
gents a certain number Of men In each
regiment have been provided with wire
cutters and charged with the duty Of
cutting down these fences so as to per-
nit the advance Of the troops.
Squadron for the Spanish Coast.
There was no further word from the
Cadiz fleet, though it is still known to
be lying at Port Said under pretext of
repairing one of the torpedo boat de-
stroyers. The delay on the part Of the
Spanish fleet has not stopped the prep
aration for the sending Of the eastern
squadron under Commodore Watson to
the Spanish shores. The commodore is
