CONVOYED BY WAR S H IPS Seven Thousand Bounds of Ammunition, liiules and Twenty-five Horses Carried to the Insurgents—The Expedition Sailed for Guantanamo Under the Command of Colonel Jose Lucret. Key West, Fla” J1me L—The Plant line steamer Florida Ieturned here yes- te: day from Cuba, having successfully landed there an 11111101 tant expedition. . The Florida has been quarantined, but is expected to be released soon. She landed her party about 25 miles east of Havana'and not a shot was fired. Senor Polo, Ithe local delegate' of the. Cuban junta, has official information that the expedition was successful in accomplishing its object. The expedition was landed on the coast of Cuba last Thursday morning. When the Florida, escorted by the Os- ceola, drew up close to the shore at the place selected for the landing, she sent out scouts ashore to see whether all was clear. The scouts were greeted by Generals Ferla and Rojas, with about 1,500 armed insurgents. Conse- quently, far from there being any hos- tile demonstration upon the part of the Spanish, Ithe landing was in the nature of a *triumphal invasion. The Cubans who were in waiting for the party had a band and welcomed the newcomers with national airs. Unloading the Cargo. The work,of unloading the cargo of the Florida. was promptly begun and carried on by 432 men composing the expedition. There was no interruption, and the work was finished on Friday night. While the cargo was being un- loaded ‘the Osceola, which is an auxili- ary gunboa-t, with her guns ready for action, scouted about the vicinity, look- ing for an enemy. But the. Spaniards apparently had no suspicion of what was taking place, for not a. sign of them could be seen ashore or afloat. So, easily, was.the dangerous mission accomplished that while some members of .the party were getting the supplies ashore, others were providing them- selves wlth fruit, sugar and other pro- a large stock of which was brought back for Key West friends. Nevertheless, no precautionary meas- ure was neglected, and the moment the work was concluded the Florida and the Osceola slipped away, leaving the insurgents to convey their reinforce— ments and supplies ' into the interior, which, it is confidently believed was done without any casualty. The re- turning members of the Florida party brought with Ithem several hundred private letters, which, 'it is understood, give a complete insight into the pres- ent conditions, prevailing in the block— aded island. The local Cuban colony is elated over the astonishing success of the expedition. A Strong Expedition. Nearly 400 men, with a ‘pack train and a largequantity of arms and am— munition, sailed on the Florida, on the night of May 21. These men and the equipment constituted an expedition able' to operate independently and to defend itself against any body of Span— The expedition was under the command of Colonel Jose Lacret, formerly insurgent commander in Matanzas province. He assumed the direction of affairs imme- diately on the landing of the expedi- tion. Until then General Joaquin Cas- tillo was in control. In the landing of the expedition the United States army was represented by Captain J. H. Dorst; and Thomas Estrada Palma. was represented on the Florida by J. E. Cartaya, who has been the landing agent of nearly every filibustering expedition for more than a Bear. Messrs. Castillo, Ca: taya and Dorst will return to Key V\7c~t.

About 300 of the men are Cubans. The oth- ers are Americans. The engineer corps of. the expedition is composed entirely of Americans, under Aurelian Ladd. and includes experts in explosives. Three of the four physicians with the party are Americans. The men were dressed in canvas uniforms furnished by the United Statesgovernmen't. and the commissary department had ra— tions enough to last fifteen days after the landing. The pack train consisted of seventy-five mules and twenty—five horses. The expedition carried 7,000 ri- fles and 2,000,000 rounds of ammunition for General Calixto Garcia. General Castillo.

Get Away First—The Exact Point of Embarkation Cannot Be Disclosed— General Shafter Will Command the Troops at Santiago—JVill Not Sail for SeveralADays. Washington, Jun'e 1.——The cabinet has discussed the situation at Santiago and the coming invasion of Porto Rico and Santiago. Both the secretary of the navy and the secretary of war were reticent in regard «to the exact move- ments of the army and navy, but they acknowledged that before the week ended important developments would occur, and that there would be no fur- ther delay in regard to thei'campaign in the West Indies. The actual embarkation of troops be- gan late yesterday afternoon, accord- ing to positive information at the war department. It is not permissible to state the point of departure, and it will be probably a day or two before the expedition actually sails. Porto Rico to Be Invaded. It is the general belief in Washing- ton that the real point of invasion at this time is Port-o Rico—and there is doubt whether troops will be landed at Santiago before or-after the attack on Porto Rico. There are obvious rea- sons for not resolving this doubt, and the only thing that can be slanted posi- tively without impropriety is that both the Porto Rican and the Santiago ex- peditions will precede the general in- vasion of Cuba. Vl1ile it may be 11' no that a. number of hoops “111 he landed at Santiago to assist Commodore Scliley, in his attack on the Spanish fleet and the city, it is the opinion of the ‘administration'that no time must be lost in seizing and holding Porto Rico.

South, in the opin- ion of the army 011:. 915 110er the an— nouncement that Geneial Lee has gone to Jacksonville, on the east coast of Florida, to establish headbuarters there. But one inference can be drawn from this movement, namely, that Jacksonville is to be made a base of operations against Porto Rico. The town is admirably situated for this purpose;'in fact it. far surpasses Key for operations even against any of the eastern points "of Cuba. The ‘terminus of an excellent railroad system leading from the North and West, with good'steamboatucon- nection with New York, with a naviga- ble river. affording a good harbor, and distant only 1,200 miles from San-Juan in an air line, Jacksonville leaves lit-tic to be desired as a base of military bp- erations. There seems to be little doubt that the plan of campaign contemplates the Ieduction of P01 to Rico. Gen. Miles’ 5 Plans. The departure of General Miles does not mean 1that'he is going to command in person the army bound either fer Santiago or San Juan, but that, as stated in these dispatches last week, he is to organize the expeditions to Por- to Rico and Santiago, so as 1to know exactly what the army needs and pre- pare for the greater invasion of Cuba. The preparations for the occupation of Santiago and Port-o Rico are nearing completidn, and the ivision for San- tiago, which will be under General Shatter, has been selected. It: equip- ment is complete, and it is not thought there will be any delay in starting. General Miles will reach Tampa. to- day, where he will confer with General Shaffer regarding his campaign, and give him his final instructions. Gen— eral Brooke will have command of .the Porto Rican expedition, and General Lee will go with him, starting from Jacksonville. General Miles’s plans are, as stated, to inspect the Santiago com- mand and make his report to the presi. dent, after which he will turn his at: tention to the Porto Rican troops. Af— ter these expeditions have been started he will devote his entire attention to thoroughly organizing and quipping the army for the general Cuban invasion. TO BUILD SHlPS FOR RUSSIA. The Cramp’s of Philadelphia Get a. 815,- 000,000 Contract. Philadelphia, June 1.—-From a trust— worthy source it was learned to-day that when Charles H.

Tuck, a clerk in the Juanita car sheps, and secretary of the Juanita Building Association, was arrested late Monday night on the charge of embezzling $12,- 000 from the building association. His operations have been going on for sev- eral years.
