 On board the Associated Press Dis patch boat Dandy, off Santiago de Cuba, Monday, June 20, p. m.-(Via Mole St. Nicholas, Tuesday, June 21, a. m.)-The United States army for the invasion of Cuba, about 16,000 troops, commanded by General Shafter, arrived off Santiago at noon today. The time of its disembarkation has not yet been determined upon, but it will probably be within the next three days.
 When the fleet of thirty-f1ve trans ports with its freight of fighting men swept up the southern coast today and slowed up within sight of the doomed city of Santiago, the anXiously awaited soldiers were greeted with ringing cheers which faintly echoed from the decks of the blockading warships far in shore. They were answered by the troops in kind. A week of anxious waiting and impatient chafing was over Tie army and navy had at last joined forces and all felt that the final blow at Santiago was at hand.
 BIGGEST FLEET IN THE WEST.
 The vessels that have arrived off Santiago with the troops on board, ac- cording to the data supplied the war department by General Shafter, num- Der, with the conveys, forty-nine yes sells and is the most numerous fleet that ever left the waters of the United States for a foreign port. It is ex- pected that the transports will remain off Santiago or perhaps the exact land ing point will be nearer until Santiago has become captured, when they will take on board the greater portion of the invading army if they can be spared from that locality and convey the troops to Porto Rico to effect the capture of that island.
 Some of the troops will be landed at Guantanamo bay in order to relieve the marines there, but it is generally un- derstood that the main body of troops VIII be landed much nearer Santiago.
 ARRIVED IN GOOD SHAPE.
 The long and trying journey from Tampa has left the men in much bet ter condition than was anticipated. There are fourteen mild cases of ty- phoid on the ships, among them be- ing Major Horton of the Twenty-ffth infantry, and several cases of measles. Much satisfaction was expressed among the troops when it became known that

The County Candidate.

the gentle carol of the county

a bosom friend in every man he

your horses and hogs, and he
shows friendly interest in the
children and the dogs. Oh, he's a
jovial gentleman, as gamesome as
a lamb, as blithesome as a meadow
lark and happy as clam. His
prospects are the brightest and his
chances they are sure, and he
spends his money freely and helps
the needy poor. He goes to
church on Sunday and his pious
traits appear, but when its neces

Oh, he's a bouyant, sanguine duck,

early in the morn and stays until

INDIAN SOLDIER.
Cherokee Bill's" Astonishing Feats
With His Rifle,

| With His Rifle.
In the second troop of Rough
Riders, which is now at Montauk
Point, a picturesque and notable
character is "Cherokee Bill", who,
as his name indicates, halls from
the Indian Territory, and belongs
to the once powerful tribe of red,
skin warriors. Were it not for bis
high cheek bones and bronco com.
plexion he would pass muster for a
tall and muscular New Highlander.
But the Indian origin of "Cherokee
BilP' is unmistakable.
Like all Indians, Bill rides his
horse as though he and the animal
were one, and his skill with the
rifle and revolver is constant
source of wonder and delight to
his comrades. His feats in mark
manship are the talk of the regi-
ment. Any of his comrades are
willing to hold silver dollar for
Bill to shoot from their fingers, or
hold pipes in their mouths for him
to shatter with a bullet. With his
horse at gallop, and hanging on
with one knee and hand, he can
hit a small target at 100 feet two
out of three times with his revol-
ver.-Washington Post.
