Although President Roosevelt has
constantly cautioned the army to be
prepared, he has been unwilling to
have the quartermasters department

rangements for sending troops to
Cuba. The unwillingness of the ad-

cannot prepare commercial ships for

Consequently if there were urgent de-
mand for troops orders to rent steam

have been issued before this.
