There is little doubt that our troops are on Cuban waters and if destined for Santiago they will probably arrive by Saturday. There is a rumor that Santiago has been taken ai. ready, but it is evidently incorrect. Commodore Bchley is befare th. harbor and is said to have opened communications with the insurgents whom he aeked to obtain a list of the Spanish ships within the harb r, and al.o a map of the harlo and th poei ion of the fleet. These bave been furniehtd and the d miral is rea-sured that tbe whol Cape Verde fliet eic pt (he Terroi ii certainly within. It is learned too that the number of Spanish troops in and around 8untiago is not 31,000, but only about 6.000, and thiy are faring badly rnd arediebeartemd. There il nothing positive in the news to reveal the plans if deter mined opon whethir ihe enemy is to be whipped out or psnebed out. It is presumable thateilhtr can be done.

Of the volunteer regiments there were the Seventy-first New York, Thirtyecond Michigan, First and Fifth Ohio, Second New York, First District of Columbia: Fifth Maryland, One Bundled and Fiftyseventh Indiana and the Third Pennsylvania. The total infantry force is 21,600 men. Id addition there are a battalion of engineers, a detachment of the signal corps, five squadrons of cav alry, four batteries of light artillery, and two batteries of heavy artillery. General Shafter is in chief command of the force, which is convoyed by the battleship Indiana and the gun boat Helena, with the training shfp Bancroft as General Shafter's iloating home. The transports are due at Santiago Friday night or Sat urday morning, and a landing will be attempted onSaturday.

It has now beoome apparent that the troops have not yet em barked from Tampa and the action about Santiago that we so confi dently expected by the first of the week will not occur so soon. The announcement that some Spanish war vessels are suddenly turning nowhere least expected is far from being substantially verified, we think, but the government is in no straits that call for risks and it is understord that when they do embark it will be under a naval convoy that will precludo danger from any Spanish squadron. How much delay is to follow is not known. The government will not expose our soldiers to unnecessary danger by publishing its move ments. This spectre of a Spanish fleet raised a sensation at Fortress Monroe Friday night. It was said to have passed Cape Henry going in a northern direction. There are 34 transports in the Floridian waters ready to take troops and it is said when the movement is made these with 1G naval vessels will "form a grand marine squadron of some 60 ves sels. In tbe mean time the navy is clearing the way for tbe landing ot troops on the Southern coasts of Cuba and are axious for the in fantry and other land troops to help complete tbe work. Tbe harbor at Guantanamo is said to be a very favorable one and will serve as a good approach to Santiago. With forces from this direction and troops to occupy tbe bills on which the fleet demolished the battries at Santiago it is expect ed that tbe mines in the barbor may be gotten rid oi and the Span inh fleet captured or destroyed. We can but speculate while we wait. Daily of lltb.
