The United States troops detailed TO
take Santiago de. Cuba are going there in
two detachments. The first force, which
at Tampa, consists of about 1000 we'll
equipped and well-organized troops. IS.
1t is expected that this detachment will
have everything ready for an immediate
attack by land on Santiago dc, Cuba and
Admiral Cervera's fleet by the. time that
the second detachment reaches there.
This advance army consists Of brigade
of efficient engineers, heavy and light ar
tillery and a force of infantry. All the
necessary engineering equipment, such as
pontoon bridges and apparatus for con-
structing earthworks, are on the six
transports.
Washington authorities have, through
their agents. notified the insurgent army
under Gen. Garcia that American troops
will soon land in the vicinity of Santiago
de Cuba, and 1t is expected that he will
form an immediate junction with the
United States forces.
The artillery force in this detachment
is under the command of Col Wallace
r. Randolph. 1t consists of ten light
batteries and four heavy batteries, the
latter comprising siege train under the
command 70 Capt. S. NJ Mills
This artillery detachment is very power
ful. The light batteries each have six
32-inch guns that are capable of firing
five rounds minute. The projectile used
by these guns is shrapnel This is the
Kind OF shell capable of doing much de-
struction, being filed with small bullets
that upon the explosion of the shell are
thrown in all directions
Each Of the four heavy batteries is
supplied with four 5Inch Armstrong
guns. These guns fire shells loaded with
gunpowder, and can be used for bonn
harding Admiral Cervera's fleet at long
range.
When the American forces have landed
In Cuba they will establish themselves
upon the hills overlooking Santiago de
Cuba, and earthworks will be erected
around the guns. 1t is expected, now that
the fnsurgent army under Gen. Garcia
mas been supplied with arms and ammu-
milton. 1t will be able to afford material
help.

UNDER OUR FLAG.

The Exigcrcies of War Compel a
Change of Republican Policy.
The owners of vessels engaged in the
Pacific are gladly availing themselves of
the privilege of securing an American reg
istry. The department will have no diff
ficulty in getting all the ships it needs
for the purpose of transporting the troops
to Manila. The advantages accruing to
these foreign vessels when given an
American registry is SO great that there
appears to be quite rivalry between
them as to which shall be selected by the
Government as transports.
Under the existing law, no foreign
steamship can engage in the coastwise
trade, and the business of carrying both
freight and passengers from one coast
port to another is conducted exclusively
by the American companies. This is one
of the most profitable parts of the busi-
ness of transportation companies and up
to this time the local steamship compa-
nies have had no competition through the
vessels that run to Honolulu, Asiatic or
Australian ports.
These vessels now have been given an
American registry and in addition to their
transpacific commerce can compete with
the local companies for the coastwise
trade. These local companies have all
ways bitterly antagonized bills authoriz-
ing an American registry for foreign
steamships. but the exieencies of the war
have been such that this opposition could
not at this time make itself manifest, and
several of the best steamships on the
Pacific, that have hitherto been shut out,
are now flying the American flag and car
rying soldiers to Manila. Several more
will be added to the list in the course of
few days.
So far three of these steamships have
changed their flag. They are the Zea-
landia, steamship purchased from Brit
ish owners by the Oceanic Steamship
Company. Of San Francisco, corpora
ton organized under the laws OF Califor-
MIA, although the vessel itself is regis
tered as a Hawaiian steamship. The
Centennial Is the second vessel, and she
has substituted the American for the
Danish nag. although she Is owned en-
tirely by American citizens. The Catania,
British vessel. is also owned by Ameri-
can citizens, and has been chartered by
the Government for immediate use as q
transport and as hospital ship. after
she has reached Manila The steamship
China will be admitted. the 6enate hav-
ing passed the bill yesterday.
1t Is probable that at least four more
vessels win be necessary to transport the
