Both officers and privates have been

promisee to be interesting throughout.
Tbe men ere now weering their new
uniforms, consisting of hats, cape,
pants, shirts, leggins, shoes- and un
derwear, and present a neat appear
ance on all occasions.
Tailors have been employed to cut
Chose suite over that do not fit tbe
wearer aud will soon have accomplish
ed their task, when the soldiers will be
better satisfied with their blue uni
forms.
The new uniforms look well and are
apparently made of good, durable
stuff They sre especially adapted to
this climate.
Col Lawton yesterday issued an
other order with several changes in
Che different calls, drills and meals.
They are slight changes and of no
■great importance to tbe public.
Eaab day great loads of boxes are
sent out to the camp by the express
company for the soldier boys. These
boxes are from friends and relatives
and are filled with nice things to eat,
which are of eeurae appreciated and
many long for their coming. Yet
more sickness is cau«ed from the con
tents of thess boxes than anything
else. The men are receiving candy,
wake, pickles and such trash in these
Aoxes, leering it will coon spoil try to
dsvour it all at one time. The resuii
is they are in tbe btapital tbe follow

Regular battalion drill was had at
4:45 yesterday afternoon, and the men
did unusually well in tbeir new uni
forms.
Co. D had its turn on guard yeater
day.
The soldiers will go ou another
■march this morning, and it is probable
4 ® e J will pass through the city.

SAMPSON AT SANTIAGO
3 *
Arraagingto Attack Carrera From
Latfd and Sea.
Washington, June 2—The first
military expedition into Cuba under
Gen. Shafter will Invest Santiago de
Cuba and attack Admiral Cervera's
fleet early next weak.
Rear Admiral Sampson has concen
trated a formidable fleet of armorclads,
protected cruisers and torpedo craft off
Santiago and has arranged for a strong
convoy of lighter vessels to accompany
the troops, so that there will be no es
cape for Admiral Cervera by sea, and
operations can be commenced as soon
as tbe military expedit on has b en
leaded.
There is a strong probability that
tbe army baa already left. American
soil and is fairly on its way to the
point of debarkation near Santiago de
Cuba. ' . o;■\ .
Strict orders have been, issued to tbe
press censors at Tampa and other
Southern pointe not to allow corres
pondents to telegraph any news rela
tive to the embarkation of troops until
several days after tbe men have sailed.
Rear Admiral Sampson arrived off
Santiago yesterday aud relieved Com
modore Schley iu command of tbe en
tire force of Vessels operating against
Center*’* fleet. He assigned Schley to
tbe command of a division comprising
the ships formerly attached to the fly
ing aqaadran.
Fifteen warships are now at Admi
ral Sampson’s disposal to fighVthe six
men-of war flying the Spanish flag,
and naval experts who have heretofore
contended that Admiral Csrvpr* hid a
fighting chance now concede that his
is a hopeless position.
Operations against tbe Spanish fleet
may not be expected before tbe first ol
next week, unless Admiral Cervera
should attempt to run tbe gauntlet of
the American squadron.
Interest at this time is centered ex
clusively in the Santiago campaign,
aud it is generally thought that on ita
prompt and successful conclusion de
pends more than anything else the
future course and limitation of the
war.
A dispatch from Havana via Madrid
says that Admiral Cervera was not at
Santiago de Cuba on Tuesday. Tbe
Cristobal Colon was the only vessel
there, and she was repairing her boil
ers.
Tbe secretary of war today sent to
congress a request for appropriations
amounting to 853,979,358. These ap
propriations will be used for the
equipment and maintenance until
January 1,1899, of the 75,000 Volun
teers recently called by tbe president.

ganise.
