900 United States regular troops will
be sent through Newport News to
Cuba to join the Army of Cuban Paci-

through this city last October. It
was originally the intention of the

al troops to Cuba just prior to the
elections to be held on the island In
June, but. 1t is said, fearing serious
disturbances during the political cam
paigns to be waged throughout Cuba
within the next few months. the de-
partment changed It's plans so as to
put the soldiers there by the first part
of April.
The first detachment of troops is
expected to arrive in this city over
