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 ROME GEORGIA.

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.

It is thought here that th. flc-t ait left, h >r* yes'erdny will not keep company with th Cuarieston after leaving flonol Ju. They all carry enough coal to steam at 'uil spe< d !r m Honolulu to M - uilla, while the Charleston, io <Ts ler to ecoucmiz > coal, will not go fus er than’ ten knots su hour.

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.
