first transports arrived near the

According to the plans arranged for
the debarkation of the fleet, the
transports will lie in a safe position
until Sampson clears the way for
landing. Meanwhile the transports
will remain out at sea at least ten
miles beyond the blockadiDg squad
ron in order to be entirely safe from
torpedo boats. The work of de-
barking the troops is not to be one

Special to the Argus.

On board the Associated Press dis.
patch boat Dandy, off Santiago,
June 81, via Mole st. Nicholas, June
n, 3 a. m.-The United States army
for the invasion of Cuba, about six
teen thousand strong commanded by
General Shafter, arrived off Santiago
at noon today. The time of it's dis
embarkation has as yet not been
determined upon, but it probably
will be within the next three days.
When the fleet of thirty-five trans
ports hove up within sight of the
doomed city of Santiago, the
anxiously awaited soldiers were
greeted with cheers. They were
answered by the troops most vocif-
erously. 1t was o'clock this morn
ing when the lookout on board the
cruiser Brooklyn reported seeing the
smoke of several steamers away to
the southeast. The transports We're
arranged in three shifting lines with
the battle ship Indiana on the ex-
treme right and the other men-of-
war on the outskirts of the fleet. In
this way the transports with their
escort steamers drew slowly toward
Moro. 1t was intended to take the
entire fleet to the line of SIMPSONS
fleet of warships, but an order from
Sampson stopped the advance of the
ships about about fifteen miles to
the southeast and General Shafter
went forward to confer with the
admiral. The long and trying
journey from Tampa has left the men
in better condition than was antici-
pated. There are fourteen cases of
mild typhoid fever in the hospital
ship. Bitter work is ahead OF
Skaters men before the Spanish flag
goes down from Morro's walls.
The Spanish infantry, cavalry and
guerilla forces, estimated by Samp-
son, is from thirty-five to forty
thousand, streached from Guant-
anamo to Carvais, a distance OF
five hundred miles and are ready to
at the point of attack.

ported is willing to surrender to the
Americans in order to prevent the
insurgents from capturing the
capital, setting it on fire and killing
the Spanish. The archbishop, how
ever. is opposed to surrender and has
overruled Augusti. The success of
the insurgents is wonderful. Span
iards taken prisoners in two weeks
campaign aggregate 5000, including
200 soldiers of the regular army.
Prominent among them are Generals
Garcia and Cordoba. The governors
of the province of Cavite, Balucand
and Bataan were also among the
prisoners.
Two million rounds of cartridges
were seized in the fortified cathedral
OF Old Cavite surrendered, thus CIV
ing the insurgents command of the
entire bay. All interior sources of
supply are now cut off from the
Spanish forces in Manila. The
Americans can take Manila within
twenty-four hours after the arrival
OF the troops. The city is now at
the mercy of the American fleet.
Dewey's conduct during the block
ade has been admirable. A great
fire is raging north of Manila. The
insurgents have captured the water
works on which the supply of the
city depends. Augusti has issued an
order declaring that m lies above the
age of Is shall join the army and do
