I ,Seventy- first Way to Battle. ’ Three Regimentls of Volunteers They Are the Seventy-first New York, Second Massachusetts and Roosevelt’s Rough Riders —Dhe at Santiago Thursday Morning—«Capt. Taylor, of the Indiana Commands the Convoy. Washington, June 14.—The first di- 1Wision of United States troops to begin the invasion” of Cuba sailed from Key West at daylight Monday morning. The ‘expedition comprised ‘773 officers and 54,564 enlisted men, all under the corn- Inand of Major General Shafter. A large force of transports conveyed ‘lfhe troops under the convoy of a strong squadron of warship-s, ranging from ' lthe immense battleship to the small gunboatvand armed fast sailing yacht. The Volunteers. The Uni-ted States regular troops make up the greater part of,Genera1 Shafter’s force, them being but three .VOlun'teer organizations on the ships. These are the Seventy-first New York Infantry Volunteers, the Second Mas- sachusetts Infantry V olunteers and two dismounted squadrons of four troops, each from the First United States Vol- unteer Cavalry, the regiment which Colonel Woods commands and of which Theodore Roosevelt is lieuten- Whether either of these officers is with the two squadrons named is not yet known at the war It was difficult to prevail upon the mounted riflemen to leave their mounts behind them, but this was 1a matter of necessity, it is said, owing to the lack of accommodations for the horses on shipboard. The best that the department could do at this time in the way of supplying cayalry con- tingent for the expedition was to in- clude among the troops one squadron mounted, with nine officers and 280 en- listed men. The full list of the troops that make up this expedition as repented to the' as follous: Infantry regiments—Sixth, Sixteenth, New York volunteeis, Tenth, Twenty-firm, Secownd Thii- teenth, Ninth, Twenty f-<)',urth Eighth, Twenty— second, Second Massachusetts Volunteers, First, Twenty-fifth, 12th, Seventh, Seventeenth, Third, Twenti- g‘eth.

Total dis- mounted c-avairy, 159 officers and 2,875 enlisted men. Mounted cavahy, one squadron of the Second, nine officers and 280 enlisted m-en Artille1‘y—-—Light Batteries E and K, First Artillery; A and F, Second Ar- tillery, 14 officers and 323 enlisted men.

Signal Corps—One detachment, two officers and 45 enlisted men. . Hospital detachments are included in the foregoing figures. The staff corps numbers fifteen offi- cers. The Solace at Santiago. ‘ By a fortunate coincidence, the naval ' ambulance ship Solace arrived off San- .tiago yesterday, and was available a; once to take the _wounded marines who participated in the fight at Crest Hill. The dead will be buried on Cuban soil. To provide for every contingency the surgeon general of the navy placed on board the Solace twenty-five folding, cofiins. They are away from observa- tion and are so unlike coffins until put grew-some appearance. They are to be used only for such wounded as die on board ships.“ A‘ practical embalmer, with all embalming supplies, also is on board. - Santo Domingo Uprising. New York, June bis—Passengers on the steamship P-rins Mani-its, which arrived here yesterday, say that the at- tempted insurrection started b‘y Gen- erals Juan Ysidor Jimenes and Pablo Villanuera. has been suppressel by President Hureaux of Santo Domingo. Dr. C. J. Deu Boudt, general mana- ger of the Santo Domingo Improvement Company, who is en route for Holland, says that the execution of General Au- gustin Morales and the escape of Jim- enes and his companions, who invaded Santo Domingo on the Clyde liner Fa- nita, from the Uni-ted States, crushed the revolution, which had its initial outbreak at Monte Cris-ti. The Italian warship Giovanni Bau- son was at Port aéu Prince on the day the Prins Maurits sailelfor New York. Several of the American war fleet steamers were passed on [the way up the southern coast. . Reichsrath Prorngned. Vienna.

COPPINGER COMM-\NDANT ATI :TAMPA Getting Ready for atiun. Tampa, Fla, June 14. —General Jehn since General Shafter sailed for Cu~ General Coppinger will command the next expedition to leave Florida; and it will be headed for Porto Rico instead of Cuba. No date fer the departure of this force has been fixed, anl it°.depends to portanIt movementsnow pending. It is believed now to be the present inten- tion of the war department to make an early move on Porto Rico, and the impression among army officers is grong that a. formidable force will be sonville or Fernandina to make the move. Contrary to general belief, General Fitzh‘ugh Lee will not go to Porto Rico as next in command to General Cop— pinger. The war department has not thought for a. moment of‘losing the value of his close knowledge of the situation around Havana by sending him off to a post which any other Offi- cer might just as well till. Havana a large landing force will in- Lee will be 'in the invading force, in command of the Seventh Army Corps. General Miles will go to‘Cuba with the invading force and it will be the most important army move of the entire Cu- ban campaign. It may not occur until the ball months, and by that time, 'it is believed, Santiago will be in the hands of our forces and General Shaf-‘ ter’s corps will have pressed close 'to Havana, so as :to form a junction with General Miles. In this big move General Lee’s knowl- edge of the defences and topography around Havana will be of great value. The decision of the war department announcing the choice of an army camp site in Florida, is expected at any time, as the report'of the board of in,- spection sent cult to report on the pro- posed sit-es is already in Adjutant Gen? eral Corbin’s hands It is regarded as certain that either Fernandina or J ack- sonville Will be chosen, and the chan- ce-s are about equal. The embarkation will be from one of these points and camp site. A WONDERFUL ACHIEVEMENT. The Government Printing Office Does Quick ‘1Vork. Washington, June 14. ——The g0vern-’ ment printing office has added' another feat to its wonderful record of achieve- men-.ts It has been known to print an~ edition of the Revis 0d Statutes in a. single night, and only a few weeks ago the report of the board of inquiry into the cause of the disister to the Maine was turned out by this. great establish— ment in one night, including the illus— trations which acornoamed 11,511,;- urd-ay afternoon, at 3.30 o'clock Sec- retary Gage delivered into the hands of Captain Bryan, foreman of printing, the material to be used in the prepara- tion of circulars relative to the new war loan authorize? by the act. Al- most 4,000, 000 of these circulars, sub- scription blanks and pamphlets, de- scriptive of the bonds, wexe required. lhCaptain Bryan hesita,ed as to whether with all its vast facilities, that is, betWeen 3.30 p. m Saturday and 9 a. m.

Castelluine to Fightfia Duel. Paris, June 14.---Par~is has been shocked by an occurrence which in it- self was..horriblc enough, and which, through the-way in which the yellow journals—for America has not 21 mon- opoly of this bane—have handled it, has been made a sensational. crime. Indirectly it is interesting to Amer- icans, as Comte Boniface de Castel- lane has been dragged into it. The Petite Republique, one of the gutter papers here, used the crime‘ as -a peg on which to hang a series of charges against Comte Boniface de Castellane. , These details, however, Interest no- body. Instead, however, of handing the author of the article over to the po-, lice, Comte Cast‘ellane has challenged him to a duel. According to some, the meeting will take place today. Count Boniface de Castellane, New Yorkers will recall, is the sci-on of the old and distinguished French family. who, in March, 1895, married Miss An- na Gould in this city. The occasion was notable even am- ong the similar notable occasions that New York has witnessed. In May of the present year the count was elected a member of the chamber of deputies. To Hold the Canaries. Washington, June 14.—Official confir- mation has been received at the navy department'of the return to Cadiz of the auxiliary cruiser-s of the Spanish navy which went out for target prac- tice. ' The department has also been in- formed that these vessels have taken several thousahd troops aboard, which will be transported to the Canaries for the reinforcement of the garrison at that point. It is evident, the authorlties say, that Spain proposes to make a desperate ef- fort to retain [the Canaries, which will be naturally a point of attack for the flying squadron of the United States when it is termed. .

The most bloodthirsty villian unhung 'i , -is the king of Benin, in Africa. He ' used to slaughter his subjects daily, fer amusement, but when he massacred- a party of unarmed British negotiators, - . His palace was partly built of hu- man bones, and surrounded with count- less numbers of them, The British. tsent'an expedition to Benim and an- nexed the country and the palace. This king has been responsible for. more needless bloodshed and sheer Benin, his capital city, deserves well the title bestowed on it of “The City of Blood.” Happily, this ghoul is no longer at large. He is in the hands of the British officials on the Gold Coast. _ .The British take a. great deal of cred- it to themselves for putting an end to the brutal reign of the king of Benin. Probably they had more moral justifi- cation in this case of an attack on a native state than is usual. Benin, the city, is an extremely in- teresting mace in a gruesome way. No white man had ever been there and left it alive, before the British expedition went. The king’s palace was ap- proached by an avenue of poles, on the top of which were skulls. The door- way was made of human leg bones. Flies are very numerous in Benin. The king had a rooted aversion to them. Unlike most of his subjects, he wore a garment that covered-the whole of his body, except his face and hands. Two slaves were always on guard with fans to keep flies away from his ma- jesty. If a fly succeeded in alighting on an exposed part of his majesty’s person, the two slaves were executed on the spot. When You \‘Vr/ite to the Queen. The paper on which letters to Queen Victoria are written must not be fold- ed. No communication which bears evidence of having been creased will ever fall into Her Majesty’s own hands. The proper method is. to write on thick, glossy white paper, and to de- spatch the mis‘sive in an envelope which fits it. Any folded communi- cation never reachesthe Queen, for the simple reason that she never looks at it. All such letters are opened by the Mistress of the Robes, and as a rule, their contents never get beyond her, or, if the letter is of importance, it is returned to the writer with the directions how to forward it.~—New York Herald - I 4~47For two thority in Cuba. iant ‘ ton. ood American, the ..
