Within twenty-four hours the Fifth cavalry will embark on transports and their objective poiut will be, ac- cording to the men of the regiment Porto Rico. Officers still maintain the strictest Beerecy regarding the «destination of the troops. Daring last night greater activity prevailed inthe «quartermaster’s partment, aud immense loals of sup- plies are ready for shipment as a re- sult. Monday night the Mattewan, the largest transport out of the six now in port, coaled ia a burry and moved her berth to the wharf, where pass- e@nger embarkation usually takes place, She is fitted up for infantry only. When the Dapont came in Monday it was given out that the fast torpedo boat needed repairs, but an inspec tion of the vessel ia dry dock did not disclose any material damage, and it is almost a certainty that she is here really for the purpose of assisting in conyoying the troops to Caba. This is given color by the fact that the Dupont was not alone up to the time she arrived off Sand Island Light. Two large vessels were seen cruis ing around the outside after the Du pont came into the bay and an inves- tigation by a tug boat captain discovere thea to be gunboats. COIN FOR PATRIOTS.
