The government has thirty-llvo transports in tho (iulf ready to carry the army toSautiago and other points of destination, Tho first expedition to bo landed on Cuban soil will bo at Santiago, where Admiral Sampson has made preparations by bombard ing that port. After occupying Santiago, n bulllcient number of troops will remain thero to hold that city, and the balance, joined by tho insurgents under Gen. Garcin, will move westward toward Havana. When tho troops havo been landed at Santiago, Admiral Sampson will withdraw a sullicicut number of ships and then attack Porto Itico, where another expedition will bo lauded. It is estimated that tho Spanish ticops at tho latter port number !20,000. Tho administration has decidid upon a vigorous campaign against Spain all along thu lino.

Washington, Juno 8. Shortly after 7 o'clock last evening conflrmat Ion of the prcis dlnpntthrs concerning the bombardment of the fortlflratlnnH of Santiago reached tho navy department. It came In the form of a cablegram from Admiral Sampson, which wiib made public In tho following bulletin: "liombtinled forts at Santiago 7: HO to 10 a. m. today, Juno 0. Slloncetl works quickly without Injury of any kind, though within 2,000 ynrdit." Whllo tho officials of tho navy de partment declined to say definitely whether tho bulletin contained all tho Information given In Admiral Samp son's cablegram, there is reason to bo llovo that It did not. Tho ofllclals refused to discuss tho subject or to vouchsafe further Information than vas posted on tho bulletin board. Only one additional point was elicit ed in Muestlonlr.g. That w.as that tho cablegram contained no information about the landing of either land forces or murinos. Tho Information received from Ad miral Sampson was evidently quite satisfactory to the naval authorities. While they declined to discuss tho reasons for tho probable consequences of tho bombardment thoy wero thor oughly satisfied with tho results ac complished. It is pretty well understood that tho bombardment was for tho purpose of paving tho way either for the landing of troops or actually to cover tho land ing of marines ntid tho fow troops pre sumably already thero. Pious (Tlspatchos received from Spanish sources Indlcato that a land ing was effected either during or Im mediately after the bombardment. This is regarded by naval authorities as entirely reasonable. It Is not bo lloved that Admiral Sampson, after having silenced the forts, would leavo them to bo rehabilitated by tho enemy. It is deemed likely that ho landed a sufilclont force of marines to hold tho ground ho had gained and to tnako preparations for the landing of tho regular forces upon their arrival, if. In deed, some of them aro not already at hand. SCHLEY'S FLEET BARLEY ESCAPED DESTRUCTION Special to Kvuniso IlKHAt.n. Kingston, June 8.

The latter became suspicious of tho man, and threatened to havo him shot as n spy, but he was sent back hero. The pilot was to guido tho fleet pass tho mines and into Santiago harbor, and it is now bclioved that tho man selected was none other than a Spanish pilot who had been imposed upon tho American consul. Schley believes his fleet barely oscaped destruction. THE BUFFALO ARRIVES. Tlio Former Ilru.lllnii Cnil-crXnivnt Toi'tro-. Mouroo. Newport News, Va.. June 8.
