battalions of the First, Second, Third,
Sixth and Tenth United States Cav
airy; two battalions First United
States Volunteer Cavalry, and First
Cavalry Ohio Volunteers.
Fourth Brigade-Provisional Artillery
Brigade, Brigadier General w. F. Ran
dolph; six light batteries United
States Artillery and two heavy batter
les.
The total strength Of this force
slightly exceeds 1900 men.
The First Division of the Fourth
Army Corps, under General Schwan,
which has been removed to Miami,
will not accompany the expedition, but
will probably be attached to General
Lees corps.
In addition to the thirty-two trans
ports utilized by General Shafter, the
War Department has chartered all 9TH
er vessels which are available for i'm
mediate use, and these will probably
be assembled at Tampa the first of
next week. They are the Louisiana,
the Hudson, the Unionist, the Special
ist, the Catania, the Arkadia, the
Nueces, the Comanche, the Lampasas,
the City of Macon, and the Gate City.
The War Department has announced
the purchase of eight transatlantic
liners, seven of them of much greater
capacity than any of the American
transports heretofore chartered, and
as many of thse vessels as can be
made ready in time will be utilized.
While General Miles intends to ac-
company this expedition in support of
General Shafter, it is not contemplated
that he will assume direct command,
although possibly another Major Cen
eral, if not two, will be attached to
the corps as division commanders.
The detail of all additional officers,
including several Brigadiers, is now un-
der consideration
On the arrival of the force at Santi-
ago, General Miles, by virtue of his
position, will assume active command
of all the forces in the field, and as
soon as the city falls he will under
take in person the leadership of subse-
quent campaigns, whether against
Porto Rico or various Cuban points.

tion circles, though it has gained
no serious attention in the deliberations
of the Cabinet as a body.
The plan as informally discussed
looks to taking a number of first-class
battleships with a sufficient f1otilla of
colliers and supply vessels, and making
war on the large cities along the Span
ish coast. In this connection the state
ment of Cabinet official to-day that
he favors an early ordering Of about ten
of our vessels of the first rating, with
orders to carry what will be needed III
the course of so long a journey, to be
taken away from our fleet in Cuba and
sent direct on this mission, is signifi-
can't. He said he believed that until
some such work as that is done by our
forces the Government of Spain will
fail to appreciate the resources of the
Government with which she is at war.
1t should be distinctly understood
however, that there is no semblance of
a conclusion as yet to take any such
step in the future, and while earnestly
discussed, no project of this nature has
been laid before the official family Of
the President. This action, if it were
taken at all. would involve the view
that the vessels could easily be spared
from the Cuban waters, and some mem
bers of the Administration have no hes
itation in saying that they might be
easily spared, before long, without det-
riment to our campaign in Cuba.
With reference to Havana, it has
been suggested that our troops sur
round the city and take possession of
the highlands, SO as to cover every
point of approach and conduct peace
full siege. The plan is yet tentative It
would do away ordinarily with the
large fatalities that must necessarily
follow, if attempt is made to capture
the Spanish citadel, and would locate
our troops in healthful regions. Prob
ably not less than $1,000 men would be
needed, should this plan be adopted.
While the Administration has not over
much confidence in getting great as
sistance from the Cuban forces, they
would be counted on to some extent.

TALK OF PEACE.
A Madrid Journal Publishes What
United States Will Demand.

MADRID, June 2o.-The CORES
pondencia" of this city publishes a re-
port to the effect that the peace con-
dltions suggested by the Government
of the United States include the pos
session of Porto Rico, the independence
of Cuba under protectorate of the Uni
ted States, and the establishment of a
naval station for United States war
ships in the Philippine Islands, and the
establishment of a coal depot for Uni
ted States warships in the Canary ISL
ands.
REGARDED AS A "FEELER"
WASHINGTON, June 25.-The an
nouncement from Madrid that the Uni
ted States has suggested peace condi-
tions with Spain was received here
with general intereset for the reason
that the report was regarded as a
''feeler" set afloat with the distinct
purpose of developing the state of pub
lie feeling in America, as well as in
Europe.
There is no basis of fact for the re-
port, for at the State Depai tment it met
a prompt and unqualified denial at
every point. No overtures have come
to the department from any responsible
diplomats yet looking to the consum-
nation of peace. Still. it is known
that some Of the representatives of the
European Powers here, realizing the
serious inroads that are making upon
European commerce by the continu-
ance of hostilities, stand ready at an
auspicious moment to sound our Gov
ernment as to what conditions might
serve as a basis of negotiations for a
brief period. These diplomats would
naturally closely watch the effect upon
the people of the United States of such
a rumor as this, coming from Madrid,
and if the general sentiment seems to
incline to the acceptance of some such
conditions. they would be quick to ad-
wise their Governments, in the expec-
tation of receiving instructions to APP
proach the Government of the United
States on the subject.
The terms suggested in the Madrid
disr atches seem calculated to tempt
that element in the United States,
which, realizing the importance of at
tempting to restrain altogether the
popular desire for territorial acquisi-
ton, seeks. to confine 1t within the
lowest reasonable limits The condi-
tions are such as naturally might sug-
gest themselves to the Spanish element
most inclined for peace as a proper
basis for negotiation. although ii can
not be expected that they would in
italy comply with the demands of the
United States.

SAN DIEGO, June 25-According to
James Schmid of this city, who has
spent a portion of his life in proximity
to the SueZ Canal. it will take "a
fleet like that of Admiral Camara a

Port Said and Suez. Schmid mentions
a case of battleships going through the
canal some time ago. He says that
their guns, coal, etc., had to be re-
moved and placed on lighters, but
aside from the delay thus caused, there
was no trouble.
