The apartment occupied by the family
OF Salvatore CampissI. a we'll to dc Italian
grocer, at $40 East Sixty-third street, was
wrecked early last night by what the police
say was either a stick Of dynamite or a

ARMY TRANSPORT PLANS.
War Department Seeks Freedom From
southern state Quarantine Laws.

southern state Quarantine Laws.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 2s.-The work Of
getting ready to throw an army into Cuba
IL going on with undiminished vigor. The
greatest problem Il still that of t~ransporta-
ton. The first expedition OF 5000 men will
go from Newport News, but 1t is not known
definitely from what point other troops
will be sent.
Thu quarantine laws Of some of the South
ern States are inconvenient and the War
Department is making efforts to have
the laws concerning the holding of vessels
from Cuba waived while troops are being
sent to the island. The laws of most of the
Southern States provide that vessels COM
ing from Cuba shall be held i've DAYS.
Thus a transport having taken troops
across to Cuba would be seriously ham
pered in its work should II return to a South
ern port for more soldiers. II is this feature
OF the laws which the War Department is
trying to overcome.
1t will not be necessary to await the
landing of the army forces in the island
for its occupation by the United States.
Immediately after the word il given for
Intervention, marines and bluejackets from
the war vessels in Havana harbor will be
landed for the protection Of whatever
provisional government may be established,
to preserve order and guard American
property ant interests. The forces will
not only extend protection to American
property, but to all other property as
we'll.
Including the marines who are now
en- route to Cuba and those which will sail
tO-morrowther will lie a force of marines
and bluejackets numbering more than
5000 in the vicinity Of Havana by the first
OF next week. There are about 5000 men
already at Havana who can I've put ashore
within a few hours. This force, it is he
lieved, will he sufficient TO suppress any
upI ising or attack that might be made,
either by the Palma sdherents or the in
surRent forces.
