THE WAR PR0GRA
THE PLAN DETERMINED up
ON IN WASHINGTON.
EARLY INVASION
OF Cuba and Opening Of a Gu.
ban Port to American Ships
is One Of the Features.
Sending Troops to
Tampa.

Washington, D Z April 20.
1t is stated on the highest author
ity that as the newly formed pre-
parations for actual hostilities
stand they contemplate these op-
erations:
l. The opening of ingress to
Cuba for the relief ship which is
to carry supplies to the recon
centrados in Cuba and the co op-
Grafton of the United States naval
forces with those of the Cuban
forces. This invasion which is to
be conducted purely as relief
expedition, may land at Matanzas.
The Sampson squadron is to be
urged to make way for and to
protect the relief expeditions.
2. The preventing of the Span
ish fleet now at Manila, in the
Philippines, from joining forces
with the Spanish fleets at Cape
Verde Islands and in Cuban wa
ters. The Instructions to Com.
mander Dewey are not to shell
assai the snafSs a%er1tSah taa tfeefEt tfeefEtfeatepds tipd
blockade; similar to that estab-
lished at Havana, is to he enforced
against Manila. Engagements, if
any occur, will be precipitated by
the Spaniards' fleet under com.
mand of Admiral Montejo.
3. The flying squadron is to be
held at Fort Monroe as reserve
fleet, but is to be drawn upon. if
necessary, to protect unfortiied
cities. The squadron may rein
force the Sampson squadron. This
is the original plan mapped out
more than three weeks ago by
Assistant Secretary of Navy
Roosevelt.
4. The guarding of the ap-
proaches to cities on the north and
middle Atlantic coasts by regular
warships and auxiliary cruisers.
The original plan contemplated
the performance of this duty by
vessels named by naval reserves,
but a change was compelled by
advices of the sailing of Spanish
feet from Cadiz with instructions
to lombard unprotected cities of
the northern Atlantic coast.
Hence, the dispatching today Of
the auxiliary cruisers New Or
leans and San Francisco to guard
approaches to the Massachusetts,
and New York coasts.
s. Hurried preparation for the
Of the land forces
now at Chickamauga to either
Tampa or New Orleans for EN-.
to Cuba. These orders
ire how being issued and it is ex.
pected that General Miles will
cave Washington on Sunday to
assume actual command of the
and forces.
