Il victory achieved by the Cuban forces
over Il division of the Spanish army at
Jiouani. province of Santiago. on May -,
1t was one of the most decisive battles
which the patriots have gained in many
months.
\ column of the Spanish, 1900 strong,
under orders from Havana to abandon
the inner towns and advance toward the
coast. evacuated the town of La Piedra,
after having destroyed their Notifications
to prevent them from falling into the

ELEVEN TRANSPORTS SECURED
for Quick Dispatch
of Troops to Manila.

Washington. June S.--Assistant Secre-
tay Meikleiohn of the war department
announces that the problem of securing
an adequate number of transports for the
troops to the Philippines appears to have
been solved. He made this statement af-
ter having chartered six ships in addition
to those heretofore named and taken pre-
liminaly steps for obtaining five more UNI
der certain conditions.
If the latter are secured the war de-
partment will have at its disposal alto
gether, Is ships for the Philippine eXpedi-
ton. enough to accommodate many thou
sand men should they be put to use. AS
a result of the acquisition of the addition
al vessels extraordinary activity in fitting
them out for the work intended will be
started and no time lost in preparing for
the third and last of the expeditions for

TWENTY THOUSAND MEN.
Go to Santiago Under Command of
General Shafter.

New York. June S.--A special to the
Times from Washington says
There is no longer any pretense at the
war department that the Santiago eXpedi-
ton is not afoot or that it is not to reach
its destination speedily. The information
has been circulated quite freely that forces
have been shipped to Tampa and more
are to follow, and that they are bound to
Santiago de Cuba and intended to coop
crate with Admiral Sampson to effect the
capture of that city with its garrison and
the shipping, including the fleet of Ger
vera, in the harbor.
From all that can be ascertained at the
war department the land forces are to be
directed by General Shafter, who will
have not less than 10000 men. mostly reg
ulars. with which to strike the blow CON
templated. 1t was plainly stated by a
cabinet member after the meeting at noon
that the pOstponement of the expedition,
which had not been great, was altogether
attributable to the siege guns that are
to taken along and to unexpected delay
in unloading the cars at Tampa.
While the expedition to Santiago is on
its way another for Puerto Rico is to be
made ready and shipped. Just how soon
after the Santiago movement this eXpedi-
ton is to leave is not stated, but in car
rying out the administration plan of sum-
mer activity it is probable that it will not
be delayed more than a week after the
departure of the Santiago party. There
is some probability that Major General
Lee will 90 with this party, although it
is the assertion of his friends that he
would prefer to wait until the Havana in
vasion.
In the war department it is answered to
this that the forces that 90 to Puerto
Rico now may be called on later to 60 to
Cuba and the places of the invaders of
Puerto Rico taken by new men needing
the additional practice OF garrison and
guard duty.
The reduction of Havana Is still in the
distance, but the occupation OF Santiago
and Puerto Rico, will, it is believed by
the administration, prepare for a crush
ing descent upon Havana after Puerto
Rico is in the possession of the United
States. and with the best of the troops
are free to operate about Havana, Gen
eral Blanco will be compelled to see the
futility of opposing, unless he desires to
erwise be sent back to Spain to tell the
story of their defeat and the evacuation
Of Cuba.

BRYAN TO GO TO MANILA.
Appointed Colonel of the Third Ne
braska Volunteers.

Lincoln, Neb, June 5.-Adjutant Cen
eral Berry has received a telegram from
Secretary Alger saying that the Third
regiment, Nebraska volunteer infantry,
organized by w. j. Bryan, has been ac-
cepted by the government and that it
would be added to the contingent going to
the Philippines.
When this news was received Mr.. Bry-
an was so notified and went to Governor
Holcomb's office and conference was
held, the outcome of which, although it
has not been publicly announced was that
Mr., Bryan was appointed colonel of the
regiment and given his commission.
Adiutant General Berry at once issued
the first general order in the history of
the new regiment. 1t was addressing the
members and officers, urging them to drill,
perfect their organization and be ready
for the call to mobilize in this city.
Later news from Washington was to
the effect that mastering officers would
be sent here in the near future and the
regiment sworn in and ordered to San
Francisco, where the First regiment of
this city is already located.
