Washington, April A.-Secretary Sher-
man said to-day that it was his expecta-

future the insurgent army would do the
greater part of the fighting in Cuba.
He added the statement that there was

new recruits into Cuba until thoroughly
Injured to the hardships of actual military
life and that probably the regulars also
would be held in this country until later
in the season.
The Secretary expressed the opinion that
Admiral Simpsons fleet would take the
first opportunity to form a junction with
Gomez's army, and there thenceforth will
be perfect cooperation between those two
organizations in conducting the war
against the common enemy.
"The insurgents are the best men for this
service at present" said the secretary,
