Philippines from Spain, are received hero with amusement, for it appears from
the origin of these stories, Madrid, that they were inspired to Involve
us in trouble with Germany.
The -secretary of the navy today, speaking to an Associated Press reporter of
the general satisfaction that'has been expressed with the navy department, said
that, in justice, it should lie borne in mind that the navy is always in a state of
mobilization, although the coming of t'he war had necessitated a vast amount ol
preparation. The secretary added:
•f notice that sometimes I get a word of praise and sometimes Mr. Roosevelt,
■who was my assistant secretary and who certainly desetved it, as does his succes
sor. Rut let me tell you that there are men entitled to special gratitude and recog
nition who never will get half the praise they deserve. These are the chiefs of
the various naval bureaus. They have borne the i eal burden 01 preparation. \\ hen
war became imminent they were given lar-e power a.nd wete told they wou.d bo
held responsible for having the work of their bureaus "it.- properly and elli
ciently. That work they have discharged well ami thoroughly.
“It is one of the misfortunes of ..very great era like this that many of tne men
who do the. work and who bear the burden are rarely ntent.oned an.l lU’U'l get .he
credit which belongs to them. If 1 can do anything to secure the, , ni'-ti ju t ap
preciation I want to <lO it. They are till experts and men of exception in their
virions lines. It is pretty hard. too. for some of them who know that the g. .r.es
of war are won not in bureaus, but at t .ie front in battle. Th-y have soim-titm-.s
pleaded hard, and it was not easy', either, for the department to retuse their
request tor active service or for them to accept th. necessity of remaining where
they are. 1 hope you will say a good word for them. Few knew the ext. nt of
What they had undertaken and done or their competency, spirit and standard.”

throe cheers for the army rose from ship after ship as tho troopships moved in to
take their share in the hazardous game.
It was war, and it was magnificent.
The Cuban insurgents. too. bore Hieir share in the enterprise honorably and
-well. Five thousand of them, in mountain fastnesses and dark thickets of ravines,
lax ail night on th. ir guns, watching every road and mountain p ith leading from
Panting" de Cuba to Guantanamo. A thousand of them were within sight ol Bai
qitiri. making tUie approach of the Spaniards under cover of th.- darkness an im

At -1 o’clock this mornihg t -, i-ist of Cuba seemed wrapped in soft mi. t like
that of the deg days t rn latitudes. Dull and thick clouds lay on th<

Men Were Anxious to Move.
All around transports, steam launches and small boats Wer t bobbing al.out like
corks, the firs: in.li. ition of th.- ti'ir- obj.-. t of the undertaking ahead.
An hour Inter the sun was rising in the eastern sky, touching the
mountain tops with patches of light green and revealing the great semi
circle of troopships, some close to the coast line, others a mile distant,
with, their decks crowded with eager, expectant men. impatient to begin
the great movement of destiny, to make a new chapter in the history of
America, the first invasion by our army of a foreign country in half a
century.

Washington, June 23. -it ut hen tic infor

a dispatch from Santiago says:
Garel i. and his nieir are in camp about
eighteen miles w.-s.t of t'a.- city. He had
1,210 ni'-n immediately with him, &0 more

Vhe Spanish .niny, on the road loading to
tin- largo garrison at Holguin, and some of
Garcia’s pick-. -Is were stationed on the road
to Manzanillo.
On Monilay it was expe.-le.l that 'b-n -' il
Luque's command would try to :<-;i- a
Santiago. To do so, it would have to march
sixty-live miles over a bad road, harassed
by the insurgents. Despite efforts o'’ the
Spanish eommamlers. tin I'nited Slates

General Greely received a dispatch today
fro.u Lieutenant Colonel Allen, of the sig

established at Playa Del Kstc. Cuba, it
did not relate to military operations, but
from tin- fact that no reference w-as made

that tiie situation has not changed mai- t'i
ally since last night, when thi binding of
troops was in progress.
Colonel Allen will make Playa Del Este
the cable base, but in addition to tills a
miliary cable line will be stretched from
that point westward along the coast to the
headquarters of General Shatter. By this
