RANSPORT ~ SHIPS sdiL | FOR CUBA Five Vessels Carrying Sol- diers Start From Mobile. MOBILE, Ala., June 4.—Five trans- ports carrying the Twentieth Infantr; Colonel Wheaton; Third Infantr: Colonel Page, and Troops A, C, D and F of the Second Cavalry, steamed down Mobile River this morning en route, presumably, to Tampa. but really un- | der sealed orders. The transports are the steamers Matteawan, Stillwater, Breakwater, Aransas and Morgan. Along the river front thousands of people had congregated. Whistles of all the bay and river craft and mills and the ringing_of bells kept up an unceasing din as long as the transports were in sight. The troops were quartered on the | vessels by 10 o'clock last night and had a good night's rest. Reveille wa sounded at 5 o’clock and the last prep- arations for the voyage made. Some 200 horses had to be loaded on the Mor- gan, and this and other work delayed the departure. The fi¥e vessels pulled out together and formed a procession down the river. The last seen of the transports was from the Custom-house as they passed the channel, the vessels being half a mile apart, until they be- came specks on the horizon. It is be- lieved their ultimate destination is Santiago de Cuba. DES MOINES, Iowa, June 4.—The Fifty-first Iowa Regiment leaves to- morrow for San Francisco over the | Rock 1Island, Burlington and North- | | western Railroad. The troops will con- centrate at Cheyenne, and from there will travel together to thence to San Francisco over the Southern Pacific. The First Battalion, including the headquarter’s band and | companies from Des Moines, Oskaloosa and Knoxville, leaves by the Rock Isl- and under command of Major Duggan. The Second Battalion, commanded by Major Moore, and including companies |from Shenandoah, Council Bluffs and | Red Oak, leaves over the Burlington. Major Hume, in command of the Third Battalion, with companies from Cres- ton, Corning, Bedford and Villisca, leaves over the Northwestern. OMAHA, June 4—Company C,Fourth New York Volunteer Infantry, and a company of recruits from Ohio, passed through here to-day en route to San Franeisco. LINCOLN, Nebr., June 4—Adjutant- General Berry has received a telegram from Secretar— Alger, saying that the Third Regiment of Nebraska Volunteer Infantry, organized by W. J. Bryan, has been accepted by the Government, and that it will be added to the contin- gent going to the Philippines. When this news was received Mr. Bryan was so notified and went to Gov- ernor Holcomb's office, and a confer- ence was held, the outcome of which, although it has not been publicly an- nounced, was that Bryan was appoint- ed colonel of the regiment and given his commission. Adjutant-General Berry at once issued the first general order in the history of the new regiment. It was addressed to the members and officers, urging them to drill, perfect their or- ganization and be ready for the call to mobilize in this city. News from Washington was to the effect that mustering officers would be sent here in the near future, and the regiment sworn in and ordered to San Franelsco, where the First of this city, under Colonel Bratt, is already located. NEW YORK, June 4—A dispatch to the World from Madrid says: Great pressure is being put upon the Govern- ment by the press to send to Manila either Admiral Cervera’s squadron or the reserve fleet at Cadiz. Eight thou- sand men and six batteries could be embarked within twenty-four hours at ports in the south of Spain. But the Government hesitates to send an ex- L pedition so late, when American rein- Ogden and | | forcements from California are Iikely‘t ! son. S Santiago Believed to Be the Ulti- mate Destination of the - Expedition. to forestall any Spanish relief. WASHINGTO! June 4.—The War Department to-day chartered the Gate City and the City or Macon for trans- port purposes for the Cuban army of in- vasion. PORTLAND, Or., June 4.—Troop E, Fourth United States Cavalry, left for San Francisco this evening. S ) THREE TRAINLOADS OF VOLUNTEERS COMING Nearly a Thousand Soldiers Leave Fort McPherson for San Francisco. NEW YORK, June 4—An Atlanta (Ga.) special to the Herald says: Eight hundred and fortv-eight soldiers left | Fort McPherson this afternoon for San Francisco, there to embark for the Philippines. Thev left on three special trains on the Atlantic, West Point and Western road. These recruits will join the Eighteenth and Twenty-third Regi- ments of infantry, which are now at San Francisco awaiting transportation to Manila. Bach of the special tralns consisted of twelve first-class Pullman cars, which previously had been running as tourists’ cars to the Pacific Coast. It will take just four days to make the trip, the railroads havine contracted to place the troovs in California ninety- six hours after leaving Fort McPher- The trains will go from Montgom- ery to New Orleans over the Louisville and Nashville, and from New Orleans 0 over the Southern Pa- These men were reeruited from all parts of the country, and were origi- nally sent to this post to be trained* from the regiments at Tampa. When it was announced at the post that vol- unteers were wanted to fill out two regiments of regulars ordered to Manila, there was no difficulty in ob- taining all the men wanted. SIGNS OF PEACE ARE MULTIPLYING So the Campaign Against Porto Rico Island Must Now Be Hurried. WASHINGTON, June 4.—Peace signs have been multiplying. There has been a notable change in the tone of the Spanish press, and although up to this moment no advances have been made to the State Department by any of the European powers there is an in- definable suggestion in the air that any moment may bring forth overtures of this kind. For this reason the cam- paign against Porto Rico will probably be hurried in order to insure its posses- sion by the United States before peace is attained. RUMORED ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT HERREUX Insurgents of Santo Domingo Re- ported to Have Made Great Headway. CAPE HAYTIEN, Hayti, June 4.—It is rumored here that President Herreux of Santo Domingo has been assassinated. Itis also rumored that the insurgents in Santo Domingo have captured the town of Santo los Caballergs, on the Yaque River, 103 miles east of this piace. The accounts of the defeat of the Do- minican revolutionists at Monte Cristo are persistently doubted here. - SHOULD WAIT INTIL AUTONN German Opinion as to|f Cuban Invasion. ‘ & 023529 Pos.‘_g‘\" DISEASE TO BE DREADED‘ NEW SHIRT WAIST c00.
