EMBARKED AT MOBILE.

Part of the Fourth Army Corps
Marched Aboard Five Transports.
MOBILE, Ala, June 3.-The forward
movement from Mobile began this after
noon. The first part of the Fourth Army
Corps to leave camp was the Second Cav
airy, and this was quickly followed by the
Third Infantry and the Twentieth Infantry.
These troops marched to and through the
city to the wharf front, where the afternoon
and part of the night were consumed in
taking passage on the transports. The dis
position of the troops is as follows:
On the Mattewan-The Twentieth Infan-
try, Troops F and D. Second Cavalry
airy.
On the Morgan-Troop c, Second Cavalry.
on the Breakwater-The Third Infantry.
General Bates and staff. General Bates hav-
ing command of the expedition.
On the Aransas-Wagons, teams. etc.
The men are jubilant over going to the
front. They had become quite weary of
camp life and are anxious to meet the
enemy. The Eleventh and Nineteenth
Infantry were ordered to leave by rail for
Tampa, but the order was countermanded.
They, with the Fifth Cavalry and one bat
talon of the Second Cavalry. will probably
leave tomorrow.

other Arrivals at Tampa.

TAMPA, Fla, June .3.-Colonel Wood
regiment of rough riders, officially known
as the First United States Volunteer Cav
airy, went into camp to-day near the Sixth
regular cavalry camp, on ground heretofore
used for drilling purposes. The regiment
was unloaded in Ybor City and rode out
to the camping grounds. The men, fully
armed and equipped made magnificent
appearance and many favorable comments
were passed by the veterans who congre-
gated along the road leading through the
camps, and watched the Westerners as they
rode by on their bronchos.
Captain Stewart M. Brice, commissary OF
subsistence U. S. ", has been attached 10
Major General Skaters staff. He is son
of ex-senator Calvin S. Brice.
Thousands of volunteer troops recently
ordered to Tampa from Chickamauga ar
rived here during the day. The First Ohio,
the One e-hundred- -ffty-seventh Indiana,
Third Pennsylvania and First Illinois have
all been sent out to Port Tampa and were
unloaded in the fields and along THE beach
opposite the artillery camp.
General Miles and General Shafter held a
conference to-day of several hours dura-
ton, during which time the whole situa-
ton was carefully gone over. General Lud-
low, chief of the engineer corps, took part
in the discussion. Later General Miles, ac-
companied by several members of his staff,
inspected several of the camps, including
that of the cavalry regiments in West
Tampa.

A FORMIDABLE FLEET.
Twelve American Fighting Vessels
Now Of SANTIAGO.

Copyright. 1898. by the Associated Press)
OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, June 8, by
the Associated Press Dispatch Boat Wanda,
via Kingston, Jamaica, June 3.-Rear Ad-
miral Sampson, with the United States
cruiser New York, his flagship, accompanied
by the battle ship Oregon, the cruiser May
flower and the torpedo boat Porter, joined
Commodore Schleys squadron off Santiago
Wednesday morning, and their combined
commands have the Spanish fleet securely
locked in the harbor.
Admiral Sampson left the heavy monitors
and light gunboats off Cardenas Monday
morning all danger of the appearance of
tho Spaniards from the eastward having
been removed with the definite information
that Commodore Schley had hunted them
to their hole and under command of Com
modore Watson the monitors and gunboats
returned to reinforce the blockade on the
north coast of Cuba.
Admiral Sampson did not assume COM
mand and amalgamate the squadrons upon
his arrival Each squadron retains its sep
arate entity and Commodore Schley his sin
gle-starred pennant on the Brooklyn The
American fleet off Santiago now numbers
twelve fighting ships, two Golfers and
cable cutting ship. Neither the Solace. the
hospital ship, nor the Red Cross ship State
of Texas, which the Associated Press dis
patch boat Dauntless passed on her way
here has yet put in an appearance.
The lighting ships include the New York,
Brooklyn, Iowa, Oregon. Massachusetts,,
Texas New Orleans. Marbehead. Dolphin,
Mayfiower and Vixen and the torpedo boat
Porter
There Is every indication that active op-
erations will begin at once The last cable
which binds Cuba to Madrid and the out
side world was cut to-day.
Pending the execution of Admiral Samp-
sons plan of campaign. our ships form
Gordon about the entrance of Santiago har-
Dor TO prevent the possible egress of the
Spaniards should Admiral Cervera be fool
hardy enough to attempt to cut his way out
Communication has also been had with the
shore. The mountains and hills which sur
round Santiago are in full possession of the
Cuban insurgents; and in certain contin-
gencies the latter might be enabled to rem
der effective aid.
The reconnoissances made bv our sh,ns
principally the smaller auxiliary Yachts ana
torpedo boats, which are able to Green close
