wsuINdToN, June lot became APP
,arent Yesterday afternoon, that the
war department, through the energetic
,fires of its censors has succeeded en-
,irely in its purpose to keep the move
,,oris of the United States troops a
sacrct, For beyond question at the
olose of the day it was impossible to
lam where are the United States
,roops which had been for weeks
gathered under command of Gen. Shat
ter in Florida.
Stories of the appearance of four mys-
,srious war ship in Cuban waters
aoatcd through the navy department
during the day. The officers quickly
condemned them, declaring that if the
boats were Spanish they were nothing
more than armed launches, and not TO
he feared by any number of transports
conyoyed by such fine gunboats as the
Helena and the bancroft.
But. when these stories reached the
ear of the war department they were
receivcd with a different spirit. Moth
;ng is more helpless in warfare than
nm uparmed troop transport full of
soldiers. She would fall an easy vic
time to the smallest gunboat, and the
soldiers knowing their weakness in
this respect, are loath to undertake to
GROSS the Florida straits until these
disagreeable visitors have been re-
moved from the pathway.
Without respect to the character of
the strange craft that are said to be
lodging the blockadcrs at Havana, they
vii, be removed from the scene of ac-
tion in short notice, as it is understood
that Sampson has been made ac-
auainted with the situation and will
be expected to redeem his promise to
proyide safe conduct to the army when
called upon. He has ample force to
conduct the operations at Santiago to
a successful issue, and still spare YES
sells of any power desirable for use in
the Florida straits.
1t was pointed out yesterday by a
naval officer that the admiral, since
the arrival of the marine battalion on
the Panther, has had at his disposal
what he may regard as a sufficient
force Of men to capture Santiago, even
before the troops arrive. The 800 ma.
rines ON the Panther added to the ma.
rines already with the fleet would
make total of about |, 800 men.
Without impairing the efficiency of
his ships, Admiral Sampson could spare
1000 blue Jackets for landing party,
and with this total force of $500 men,
if the insurgents, who have been armed
by the United States government, do
their share it seems possible for Samp-
son to capture Santiago at short notice.
There seemed to be very decided
amount of expectation among the Off
cials who are acquainted with the gov
eminent plans in the campaign that
almost warranted a conclusion that an
engagement of some kind was expected
yesterday.
