Troops Will Start Very Soon,
Probably by Sunday Next.
GENERAL MILES T0 LEAD
Sixty Thousand Men Will Form the
Army of Invasion—New “York Vol-
unteers to Be Among the First to
Be Ordered to the Front—Cabinet
Decides on .- Aggressive Policy.
Washington, May 10 .-—Gen. Miles has.
announced that as soon as possible 66, -
000 troops would be sent to Cuba. He
hopes to get part of this army of inva-
sion off by next Sunday. By that time
rthe battle between Sampson’ s and the
Spanish fleet would be over, and the
attack on Cuba would be made.
The Cabinet has decided on an ag-J
{resslve policy, and from this time on
war will be waged with vigor. Noti
only will Cuba be occupied, but Manila
and Porto Rico.
The War Department is hastening
preparations to mow: the army. All
volunteers in camp will be hastily mus-
tered in and sent South, ready to go to
Cuba. The New York volunteers at
Camp Black, as they are all ready to
muster in, will be among the first to
be ordered out.
Four regiments from New York have
been ordered to move at once to Wash-
ington, where they will go into camp
:at Falls Church, Va... a few miles south
of Arlington. The Pennsylvania troops,
and in fact all of the Eastern regi-
ments will be in camp at the same
place. The New York troops will start'
as soon as they can be mustered in.
Gen. Miles says he can get 66, 000
troops into Cuba in ten days.
The victory at Manila has so changed-
public opinion that the plan now is to
follow an aggressive policy in regard
to Cuba. and Porto Rico, as well as the
Philippines. It is believed that the
war can be ended in a short time, and
a treaty of peace negotiated and signed
before the Summer is over.
The Change of Plan.
The change of plan was evidently
brought about by newe from Cuba,
brought to Washington by our officers,
who went there to open communication
with the Cubans. Up to Saturday the
plan was to send only a small force of
troops to the island; but, although this
was favored by the President and Sec-
retary Alger, it was Opposed by the
military experts, who have a compre-
hensive plan for operations, and this
was accepted.
There is no doubt that the visit of'
Gen. Woodtord to the Pseeééeet had
something to do with the plan of inva—
sion just announced. -Gen. Woodford
gave the President a full report of the
situation in Madrid, and the condition
of the army and navy there. This evi-
fdently was of such a character as to
2strengthen the plan proposed by the
military experts.
The feeling now is that further delay
would unnecessarily prolong the war,
.that a small force of troops would not
be effective in getting relief to the 5}}..f.‘
ferers on the island beyond _a narrow
margin, nor could it protect a base of

supplies. The Cuban forces could :xot
be reliedupon to assemble at this place
in sufficient strength to aid the Ameri-
{ can army. A small body of our troops
landed in Cuba might be utterly de-
i.stroyed
Another thing considered is that the
Ivictory at Manila, the desperate situa-
tion of the Spanish Government at
home, the effectiveness of the blockade
of Cuba, and the developments at Por—
to Rico, all give promise of a speedy
termination of the war if blows are
struck with vigor and in rapid succes-
sion. It isproposed, therefore, to close
up the war as quickly as possibleH
avoiding protracted disturbance, and
,lessening the danger of international
complications. It is calculated that
though it will take a week or ten days
[longer to get a large army to Cuba
than it would to land a small force and
establish a base of supplies, the large
’force would bring relief to the suffer-
ing on the island more speedily than
could the small force.
The plan is to land a. large force at
several points to advance upon the
Spanish as rapidly as possible, and,
having confined the enemy in Havana,
to relieve the suffering of the rest of
the island and then reduce the city.
The volunteers, as well as the regular
army, will be used in this invasion.
Gen. Miles has acknowledged that
the department was making all haste
m m dafigrcd to Gen. 1mg. uu‘
portant communication regarding
the Cuban campaign. The document
was considered too important to be
tntrusted to the mails. A report from
Admiral Sampson reached Secretary
Long on Sunday. These two papers
Ev e an important bearing upon the
ban invasion, where they were laid
before the Cabinet.
The haste with which the prepara-
tions are being made for the army is
shown by the fact that to facilitate
matters orders have been issued limit-
lng the obligatory uniforms for volun-
:oers to simply a-blue blouse. The de-
lay in securing full uniforms has been
such that the army cannot wait for
lhom and permission has been given to
volunteers to Wear any trousers they
may see fit.
The plan proposed now is to muster
oints, 40,000 of them to come to Wash—
ng. As the volunteers of New York,
Ohio, Michigan, Maryland, Pennsylva-
nia, Delaware and New Jersey, and of
“few other States are in camp ready
to be mustered in, these will be the
first ones ordered South for the Cuban
invasion.
The President holds to the belief that
the Spanish forces will not offer any re-
:sistance worth speaking of to the prog-
ress of the expedition into the interior
of Cuba.
The latest adv was received from He.-
vana. th1ough secret agents are that
there are not more than 80,000 Spanish
ttroops, including volunteers and Span—
ish sympathizers, on the island, and
that these are massed in 'Havana. in
anticipation of an attack by the Ameri-
can gunboats.
Estimates of the strength of the in-
..surgent forces, with which the United
' States will co—operate, place it at less
' .than 9,000, scattered throughout the in-
terior. The report of the insuggent
strength has reached the President di-
rect from Gen. Gomez, having been
brought by the American officer who
wisirted the camp of the insurgent lead-
er .ten days ago.
Miles to Lead the Invasion.
Washington, May 10.—The War Com-
mittee has decided that \Gen. Miles in
person shall lead the invasion of Cuba.
No time is to be lost. Gen. Shatter has
been ordered to hurry up additional
transports. Volunteers, as well as
troops of the regular army, are to take
part in .the occupation of the island.

THE WAR REVENUE'BVILL.
Bond Proposition.
\Vashington, May 10.—S.enator Jones,
of Nevada, has indicated that he will '
oppose the bond provision of the War
Revenue bill. It therefore
Committee, and then a. fight will be
made in the Senate to reinsert it.. 71. ~.
The committee continued its work ,
yesterday on. the VWar _Bevenue bill,
'beginning with the unfinished amend-
ments offered by the Republican mem-
here to the stamp tax schedule. The
committee considered as absolutely
settled the two matters of the elimina-
tion of the tonnage tax and the chang-
ing of _the tobacco schedule so as to
relieve stock on hand from taxation.
.They havedecided to leave the beer
schedule as it passed the House, ex-
cept that the rebate is to be increased
from 5 to 71%.; per cent. There are also
many othe1 changes which have been
Settled, but the meme-rs of the com-
mittee refuse to" make them public, on
the plea that they are generally of
small, _impgrtance, and that their publi-
cation would only serve to bring pro-
tests from those interested.
The Democratic members of the com-
mittee have completed their amend-
iments and decided fully upon a pro-
gramme. In additiori to their provision
for a corporation tax they will ofler an
amendment authorizing the issuance of
$150,000,000 in non-interest-bearing
Treasury notes, and another authoriz-
ing the coinage of the silver seignior-
age in the Treasury. The rate of tax-
ation for corpo ations has been reduced
in their progra me to one-half of 1 pei
cent, and it is believed by them that.
this provision will produce at least $40, -
000, 000 of revenue.
It now seems quite certain that these
provisions will be incorporated in the
.bill as reported to the Senate, and that
the bond provision will be stricken out,
on account of the action of Senator
Jones, of Nev,ada in determining to
ivote with the Democrats in committee
on the bond proposition. ,
Ponchos for Volunteer Army.
: Cleveland, 0., May10.—The Cleveland
.Rubber Works has just received an
order from the United States Govern-
ment to immediately furnish 15,000 pon-
chos for the volunteer army. The pon-
chos are light rubber blankets, 72x45
inches, and are adapted to three uses.
They can be used as blankets, as capes,
or four of them may be placed together
and made into a tent. It is the inten-
tion of the Government to furnish all
the volunteers with these blankets, as
they will be especially serviceable in
Cuba. during the rainy season. An—
other order for 50,000 ponchos will prob-
ably be given to the company within
a few days.
Big Order for Cartridges.

from hundreds of fountains or jets.
The building will be made entirely of
struction and originality of design the
land. The Paris palace of glass will
be shaped somewhat like the minaret-
topped structures that are so much
admired in Oriental'cities. It will cov-
er an area of six, thousand square
cyards. On each corner will be crystal
towers, and'in the center'will rise a
sign that will be an appropriate cen-
trepiece to the fairy palace.
The interior of the crystal structure
is to be almost as attractive as the ex-
terior, for in this building will be
grouped the most interesting exhibits
of the exposition. Since it became
known that the managers 'had accept-
ed the idea for a crystal structure, sug-
gested by M. Zowieski, they have been
overwhelmed with applications from
would-be exhibitors for places in the
glass building, the exhibitors well
knowing whata center of attraction the
building will be, and appreciating also
the fact that a structure of transparent
material will be flooded With light in
a manner calculated to show off the
fine points of the exhibits to perfec-
tion.
The managers appreciate this, too,
and have decided to concentrate in the
crystal building the exhibits that are
of such exquisite delicacy that the
stronger the light the greater their
beauty. Here will be seen the art
gems that require no shadow to con-
ceai imperfection, the rare paintings,
the curios of the earth and the tieas-
ures of the ocean.
But it is the outsideof the build-
ing that will be the greatest wonder by
night and day. Wherever water can
be conveyed by a line of piping that
does not interfere with the interior or

added or a fountain made to play with-

glass background of the palace, and
fanciful figures innumerable formed of

will of the designer, so as to bound
and fall in conformity with the plan
of the master mind that constructed
the set of pipes and nozzles through
which the, water passes on its way to
the air. In the daytime, when the sun
strikes the gushing waters, and paints
them in rainbow colors, making each
drop a crystal gem of constantly
changing hue, the water palace will be
a sight that, for loveliness, will be hard
to surpass.
But how can words describe the ap-
pearance of. the fairy palace in the
night time, when the structure is il-
luminated by the electric light in all
the most beautiful colors imaginable.
Inside and out it will be a blaze of
splendor. Showers of crystal drops

foundations of the“ building, and. cross

pealing to the senses of both sight and
hearing.
The designs will be changed fre-
quently, so that on each day and night
of the week there will be a different ar-
rangement of watery patterns. Or, it
it is desired, the patterns can be chang-
ed at intervals during the day or
night. This is made possible by the

piece still in circulation which is worth
4100000 francs, which is equivalent to
$20, 000. The story of this valuable
coin is, that the Emperor Napoleon tho
franc pieces, which he had ordered to
-b’e coined, was by no means popular
[with the people, made it known that in
one of the coins of this issue he had
francs to be hidden, and afterwards
had had this particular piece reminted
so that it should be undistinguishable
from the rest. The story was received
‘by a large number of the French with
the greatest incredulity, but those who
believed it, pointed out that the five-
franc pieces were sufficiently large to
conceal _a small paper, and in order
that the assignment should pass un-
injured in the re-minting of the coin,'
it was written on asbestos paper. The
consequenCe was that every year hun-
dreds of five-franc pieces were split
open, and those who believe that the
coin is still in existence continue to
destroy as many five-franc pieces as
they can afford in the hope of lighting
upon the assignment. It goes without
saying that the search ‘is an expen-
sive one, as when split open the coins
can only be sold for their silver worth.
However, it has now been suggested
that the Routgen rays should be called
into the service, as any difference in
the density of a piece of metal could
readily be. discerned by their aid. In
this way the 100,000 francs assignment
could be quickly discovered, or its ex-
istence proved to be a myth, by the
examination of all the five-franc pieces
issued under the rule of Napoleon, and
seeing the years that have elapsed
sincemthen, the number of these coins
cannot possibly be very large. «,1;
