THE SACRIFICE OF LIVES
Os Soldiers Will not Needlessly
Be Made.
Washington, May 26 —Much
significance is attached to a
statement made by Gen. Miles
yesterday, from which an infer
ence 1b apparently drawn that
Cuba is not to be hurriedly in
vaded. Gen. Miles said :
‘•With regard to the invasion
of Cuba, 1 have nothing to say,
except that the United States
will in due time bring Cuba mi
lder its control by judicious
' methods and without a useless

Sail Francisco, May 26.—The
start was made tor Manila late
yesterday afternoon, and the first
American army to'sail for a for
e gil shore on the broad Pacific.
At 4 o’clock vo: lerday after
nood Brigadier < : »>;.eral Ander
son signaled fioin the Australia
for the City of T. k n and the
City of Sydney to get. under wax
immediately.
THE PEOPLE GROW WILD.
The signal was seen from the
shore, ami the waiting crowds
commenced to cheer v. ildly. No
time was lost and the vessels
were soon under v ay. Then
2,500 sol Ilers let themselves
loose, they climbed to’ the rin
ging and swarmed ali over the
_3 ~
big ships, shouting and cheering
like mad.
T hc noise made by the patriotic
citizens on sea and shore was
something terrific*. Every steam
whistle in the city appeared to
be blowing, cannons were fired
and the dm lasted fully an hour.
As the Australia passed Alcatres
isl *.nd, in the lead of the other
ships, the battery of the United
St.-tes artillery stationed there
fired a salute to General Ander
son. ’fhe colors were dipped in
rec gnition and the steamships
sounded their sirens. Harbor

as the transports moved slowly
forward and not untiLthe heavy
swells of the Pacific ocean were

It is thought here that th. flc-t

If the transports do n ->t wait for

waste of time. The United States
is too great, too.strong and too
powerful to commit any foolish
act in connection with the pro
posed invasion. As for myself I
have only to say that no officer
is lit to command troops who
from any mot ive what eve r would
needlessly risk the* life < f a sii
gle soldier, eilhe.r from disease
or the bullets of (he enemy. I
have never sacrificed the lives ol
