Washington, June 14. The first army
of Invasion to Cuba Is now well on Its
way, 81 transport steamships bearing
over 15,000 officers and men, convoyed
by battleships, cruisers, gunboats and
auxiliary cruisers, II In number, hav
ing actually sailed from Key West at
daybreak yesterday morning. An au
thoritative statement to this effect was
made at the war department, setting
at rest all reports that the expedition
was on Its way, or had landed last
week.
By Thursday, at the latest, the trans
ports will be oft Santiago, and a large
American army will make Its landing
on Cuban soil. Admiral Sampson hew
cleared the way for this undertaking,
and little danger Is apprehended In get
ting ashore It will be after that, when
the advance Is made, that the actual
dramatic developments may be ex
pected. By that time It Is likely the
American commanders will be In dl
rect cable communication with the au
thorities here. Admiral Sampson has
taken the shore end of the cable land
ing at Guantanamo, and a force of
cable experts are rapidly restoring the
line to working order. The progress of
this work has been so satisfactory that
one of the leading officials of the Stat
department said last night that it was
hoped that direct cable communication
would be established by Thursday. It
will put an end to the dearth of ofllcl.il
Information concerning Important
movements, and will enable the au

WA1( NEWS OP THE WEEK.

Hae Killed tn a Kts-ht Battle.
Washington, June 11 The dispatches
on Tuesday of last week told of the si
lencing of the fortifications forming the
defense of Santiago and vicinity by the
combined fleets of Admiral Sampson
and Commodore Schley. The bombard
ment began at ( o'clock Monday morn
Ing and lasted until o'clock. Then the
warships were turned snd firing re
turned from the port batteries, contln-
I ulng until 10 o'clock, when the Spanish
nre cease entirely ana Admiral Samp
son hoisted the signal "cease firing."
The Spanish forts and batteries have
been completely disabled, and Admiral
Sampson will prevent their reconstruc
tion. ' It Is believed that he has land
ed marines, but there Is no authentic
news to this effect. Admiral Sampson's
report has reached Washington, and It
declares that our ships escaped Injury.
Admiral Cervera's report to the Spanish
government admits serious damage to
the cruiser Relna Mercedes and the
killing of 39 men, with 11 wounded.
The other great news of Tuesday was
the report from Manila of the triumphs
of Emlllo Agutnaldo and his Insurgent
army. He has taken over 2,000 Spanish
prisoners and has captured four towns.
The victorious insurgent chief treats
his prisoners well, and has Issued or
ders that the lives and property of Eu
ropeans, Chinese and all Spanish non
combatants are to be protected. In a
proclamation he expresses a desire to
set up a native administration In the
Philippines under an American protec
torate. The principal news of Wednesday
came In a dixpatch from Cape Haytlen,
which told of the bombardment of Col
mancra, on the bay of Guantanamo, by
five ships of Admiral Sampson's squad-
Ton. The Spaniards wore forced to
abandon their Dosltions on the shore
and retreat to the town proper, where
they were preparing for a final desper
ate struKKle, the Spanish commander
having Issued orders to burn Calninn
era before surrendering it Into tin;
hands of the Americans. The story of
the bombardment, which was comin;;
by cable from SantliiRO to Cape Hay
tlen, was suddenly Interrupted, showing
that the "able had been cut. In a re

formally declared that the Spanish gov

Washington, June 14. Arrangements
for the second expedition of invasion
from the United States for the Went
Indies are being hurried at the war de

that this expedition will lie sent from
the en co:.s( of the United States.
The exp'iijiice of embarking the first
expedition from Tampa has demon
strated to the war department officials
that other ports where the railroad and
other facilities are more adequate than
at Tampa are much more desirable
places for the concentration of troops
and their embarkation. .
