AMERICANS TO BE EXPELLED I Spain's Government Contem plating the Issuing of a Decree Expelling Our Citi zens From Spanish Terri tory. Washington, April 30, 3 p m. The movement of the troops to Tampa, Fla., to be ready for the invasion of Cuba, was actually begun to-day. It is expected that four troops of cavalry, eight batteries of artillery ami eight regiments of infantry will comprise the first expedition. Next Wednesday was decided upon this morning as the date for the de parture of the troops for some Cuban port, not yet made public. In anticipation of the invasion of Cuba in tho coming week, tho War Department is ending to Tampa large quantities of supplies to be used by the Invading army. Stone buildings are now in the course of erection at Tampa, to be used for tho cold storage of the army rations. It is understood that while tho army is in Cuba tho necessary sup plies will bo shipped dally from Tatupa and carried directly to some sea port nearest to headquartors of the United States army. Ill this way the troops will receive fresh provi sions overy day, which will bo a great factor in warding on" sickness. Preparations for enlisting tko 10,000 Ira uuues are progressing rapidly, and all indi cations show that the entire uoto will be mado up inside of a few weeks. Washington, April ao. The strategy board held an import ant meeting at which plans were prac tically completed for meeting any emergency that may arise by tho sail ing of the Spanish lleet from Capo Verde islands. It can be stated that these plans contemplate a great naval , engagement within tho next week. As outlined in these despatches to the HKIlAl.D, the fast auxilliary cruisers will scour the sea for the appearance of tho Spaniards, and when sighted will make for the nearest American port and give tho alarm. It is learned that Admiral Sampson will concentrate his six armor clads, now running tho blockade at Cuba, to some central point on tho Atlantic coast, whore he can reach quickly tho northern or southern seaboard. Under this plan the onemy's ships can be intercepted whether they come to the West Indies or oil our coast. Tho Oregon and the gunboat Mari etta, now steaming up the coast of South America, are to be cared for. They are expected at HIo Janeiro at any day, to take on ooul. There sho will find instructions from the Navy department awaiting her. From Rio Janeiro to Pernuiubuco, where tho Spanish lleet will probably make the attack if at all, is over 1,000 miles. It is likely that the Oregon, when she reaches that point, will bo joined by the Brooklyn, the Massachusetts and the Texas. The only fear entertained is from Spain's torpedo bouts. The great value of Porto Hico as a base for naval supplies and operations is appreciated by Spain, and it is prob able the squadron which left Cape Verdo is bound thero. If so, thoy will run into Captain Sampson's ileot, and a great naval battle will be fought, aud its result may end tho war. It is at that port whore our naval experts anticipate t.io ilrst encounter with tho lleet now coming westward. WEDNESDAI Escapes the the purchuse of tho submarine boat Holland. The Ntival Hoard nay tho vuss-el in too dangerous. It is rumored at Madrid, although the state department here has re ceived no verification, that Germany has ollluially notified this government that she will not permit tho bombard ment of any of tho towns in the Philippine Islands, being against her mercantile interests. She will not oppose, tho despatch bays, tho land ing of troops. Immediately following the receipt of ofllclal information announcing the departure of the Spanish lleet from St. Vincent, sailing orders wore issued to tho flying squadron, under the command of Commodore Schley. The mobquito fleet is now on its way to Key West. Naval authorities here discredit the roports of disaster causing'tho Span ish' torpedo boats to return to St. Vincent, and consider it a ruse. iVdmlral Sampson has notified tho Navy department that ho will again bombard Matunzns if the Spaniards attempt to replace the batteries des troyed. The Puritan, will be used for that purpose. ' No Hoiiibardmciit. Special to KvEMNd IlEiiAI.li. Koy West, April 30.

Lord Wolesoley, cour mandor-in-chlof of the British forces, said While England interfered in Crete en moral grounds, tho United States has both moral and materal justification for intervention in Cuba, I believe the quality of tho Ameri can army aud navy is so much superior to Spain's that tho Americans will have no dllUculty in defeating Spain's ships and laud forces, which are their equals or superiors on paper only.

I: 1 Absolutely Puro (TO, HEALTH BOflftD. Proceedings at a Regular Monthly Meet Ingf Last Night. MILK INSPECTION DISCUSSED. Investigations by the Health Officer Show That the Quality of the Milk Sold Here Is Fatr-darbage Crema tion and Otaer Sanitary Matters Considered. A regular monthly meeting of the Hoard of Health was hold In tho Council ohamber last night and attended by all tho members, Messrs. Spalding, Morrison, Malone, Holmau and Schmidt, tho secretary and Health Olli cer and Solicitor M. M. Burke. President Spalding expressed satisfaction upon having u full attendance, as it has been something unusual. The committees on epidemics and necroloirv mado their reports for tho month ending ou tho 20th Inst., showing that there were live communicablo diseases scarlet fever 1 and diphtheria 4. There wero 18 deaths and one still birth. Tho secretary reported having Issued 22 burial permits. 3 bolne for uon- residents. Mr. Holmau reported that tho Shenandoah Fertilizer Company Is engaged in nutting scwerago under all its buildings aud supply ing tnem wuu cement lloors. Tno company has also stated that if tho borough will give It a contract for a term of years a plant for consuming tho garbage gathered in tho bor ough will be constructed In connection with tho fertilizer, but this oxpense could not bo undertaken In tho absonco of a contract. Mr. Schmidt stated that thosooral moi) eny owners along Wost Coal street hold meeting to devUo moans by which to abate tiie nuisance croated by seworaite dis charging at the intersection of Cath erine street and Strawberry alloy aud and havo decided to extend the sewerg along Strawberry alley to Vino street, and thence ou a line with Lloyd street to the coal dirt banks. Complaint was mado of tho condition of the wofetorn eud of Centre street, thuro Iminir improper outnouse arrangements, and also against a placo where pigs are kept at tho westorn end of Strawberry alley. i'rcbiuent Spalding made complaint aeaitist an undertaker burying a child without first securing a permit, but the secretary said thoro was a slight mlsnnuerstandlug in the matter. Dr. Spalding said ho wanted to call the ease to the attention of tho Board because the undertaker had expressed defiance to ite authority aud said that if ho was prosecuted ho would beat tho Board at Pottavillo. The undertaker was called up once beforo and dismissed with a warning. In view of the secretary's statement, however, no action was taken in the case. Health Olllcor Coury mado his report show ing that he sorved 1" notices for the abate ment of general uuisauccs during the month aud also 3!) notices bearing on tho West Coal street sewerage mattor. The ollicer also stated that during the month he mado nine inspections of milk with the following re sults : Whole milk inspected ranged trom 120 to 132 and skimmed milk from 11 1" to 120. The ollicer added that it is ii. pretty ditlicult matter to get a lair tost of milk with tho lactometer as it is necessary to make them in a room of uniform temperature sixty de- grcos, aud to have a satisfactory report would take all of one man's time. Presideut Spalding concurred in tho report and added that tho milk served in town is fair, although milk registering ntlUand thereabouts contains a great deal of water. During the discussion it was learned that the tested milk that registered 132 camo from the cow owned by Health Ollicer Conry. It also developed that tho minimum degree fixed for milk in Philadelphia, is 110 and iu Phoculxvillo 100. After tho reading of tho Phoenixvillo milk ordinanco Mr. Morrison read nnd offered tho following resolution : Itesolved. That this Hoard, in comnliaiico with the requirements of recent Acts of As sembly, viz tho Act of July 7, lbS5, and tho Act ol June 2U, isus, the latter known as tho Pure Food Aet: we deem it necessary for the protection of tho community against fraud and imposition to cnfoico these Acts. Wo require tho Health Ollicer. in future in addition to his other dutios, to make dili gent inspection of all milk oH'ercd fur sale within tho limits of this borough. If ho shall find any porson or persons oli'eriug for sulo milk adulterated with water or anv forelmi substance and not up to tho standard required JZZZ milk and pio he law directs.

' Tho resolution was not favorably recelvod and Solicitor liurke, upon being uskod for advico, stated that it would bo bettor for the Board to co-operate with tho Borough Coun cil and have an ordinanco adopted, whereby tho Health Ollicer would bo specifically clothed with authority to act, tho standard of milk would bo fixed, and other details not provided for by tho general law would bo specifically set forth. It was finally agreed to havo tho committee on rulos meot the law committee of the lierough Council aud havo such au ordinance prepared.
