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 ing day. 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. Free Pills. . Send your address to H. E.
