'To Move on Cuba. After Spain’s
Fleet Is Out of the Way.
GENERAL LEE AS GOVERNOR
u the Spanish Fleet Comes over to
Porto Rico It Will Be Engaged by
Sampson’s Vessels, After Which
There Will Be a Military Invasion
of Cuba—Expedition to Leave This
Week.
Washih’gton, May 4.—The next step
of the War Department is to move on
Cuba. after the Spanish fleet is out of
the way. The plans of the department
have not been changed, and the expedi—
tion is expected to leave Tampa this
week.
either at Tampa or on their way, while
the troops are gathering there ready to
embark. _
It is the idea. to send chiefly colored
troops, and after the base of supplies
is established and fortified, the regi-
sf Alabama, will be sent to Cuba, and
will go at once to join the insurgent
army. It is the intention to have these
troops encamp near Havana. to pre~
vent the Spaniards from retreating into
the. country when the city is attacked.
It is hardly. probable 7 that Gen.
Wl-celer will remain with the immunes
during the siege, but having estab-
ished his troops on the island he may
seturn.
The Administration will send with
:he army of invasion ammunition and
guns for the Cubans, including 4,000,000
rounds of ammunition, 25,000 stands of
ers, 1,400 horses and 500 mules. The
lrms will consist of rifles which have
been used by our army and have been
repaired at the Springfield arsenal, and
ire now in perfect condition.
If the Spanish fleet comes over to
Porto Ric‘o they will be engaged by the
vessels of Captain Sampson’s Squad-
ron, after which there will be a big
military invasion of Cuba. It is also
said to be the plan to make the Cubans
ind insurgents do the bulk of the land
lghting, while our ships Will sweep the
sea.
After the Spanish have been cleared
tff the island of Cuba, General Fitz—
nugh Lee will, it is believed, be ap-
pointed provisional governor. He will
1150 have the pay and rank of a major-
reneral, which will give him a greater
salary than he would receive as pro-
visional governor. Lee is to remain on
the island until a stable form of gov-
!rnment is established there.
It is also said that in case Spain does
not send a. naval expedition to relieve
her forces in Cuba, the next offensive
Rico. This is to be done by. the wars
ships at the North Atlantic squadron,
while the auxiliary cruisers will be left
to continue the blockade of Havana.
and other ports. ..
MONEY NEEDED FOR INVASION. 7
Congress Expected to Make the Nec-
essary Appropriation Promptly.
Washington. May 4.—The Navy De-
partment denies the statement that the
iepartment has declined to spare a.
couple of naval vessels to convoy the
transports which will carry the troops
from Florida to the Cuban port se-
lected as the place for beginning the
nffensive campaign.
It is believed that the true explana-
tion of the delay in sending out the
military expedition is to be found in
the letter of Gen. Miles read in the Sen-
Ite, in which he declared that all the
[50,000,000 war fund appropriation hav-
ing been expended or allotted, there
was absolutely no money at the dis-
posal of the War Department to pay
the necessary expenses of the expedi-
lion. In the expectation that Con-
gress will promptly make the necessary
appropriation the officials now look for
the departure of the expedition within
I. very few days.
‘NEED OF ISSUING BONDS.
Secretary Gage Has a. Hearing on
the War Revenue Bill.
Washington, May 4.-——The Senate
Committee on Finance resumed its sit-
:lng yesterday, hearing Secretary Gage
on the necessity for including in the
war revenue bill authority for the is-
iuance of bonds. The Secretary sup-
plied the committee all the information
in his possession as to the cost of the
war up to date, and also the best es-
timates obtainable of future expenses.
Secretary Gage told the committee
that the best estimates obtainable 1n-
iicate that for the next two months
:he war will increase the governmental
expenditure about $50,000,000. By that
time the entire- amount in the Treas-
1ry, with the exception of the gold re-
serve, would be exhausted, and $30,-
)00,000 of the reserve also taken. Mr.
Gage said it was his opinion that the
revenues would decrease on account of
the war. He considered authorization
for the issuance of bonds necessary.
He said no estimate had been made of
the cost of the war for a year hence.
Is no one could say how long it would
:ontinue. » :
3 OUR FLEET LEAVES HAVANA.

sumably for Key \Vest.

Washington, May 4,—It is understood
mere that the dispatches from Key
West, saying that Admiral Sampson’s

that the warships are coming back to
