Washington, June 1. iFVr the first itlme since 'the ibegdnning of (hostilities, tih?i -appears .to ibe. something' in the najture off an official statement of iplan t camipaign of the United States gov ernment. fTbis is jcontained dn a letter i olf Secretary lAlerer to thft, sneaker of Jthe "house, transmjitting' certain reoom-imenkla-tionfl and statemnts of General (Ludlow -wihich diselosed the purpose of the war department to send 70,- (00 men I to Cuoa, 20,000 to 'start at once amd t!he remainder Just as swn as they can ibe raxde ready for departure. . Then there was an estimate for establishing -electrical coanmunaca Uons in connection with the army "in Cuba, Porto Rico and the (Philippines." Bhowing for the first time officially an BimpUed in tention oh the fart of the gov ernment to land troops, in Porto Ttico. Of .cooirse all these . moves ihave ibeen anticipated by the press, but nevierthe-. Seas a strong element of doubt existed " iand, therefore, ithe Official statement of the 'governiment's 'purtposes, made even in this 'indirect fashion, created a jprofound sensation here. The three are to go together, ICuba, IPortO Rico and the (Philippines, and ipass into the military occupation of the United State troops. Inasmuch as the secretary says that Jthe second' contingent of troops is to jgo (forward as soc- as they can (be pre pared, much interest is attached to an order that was-f made today at tlhe iwar department providing for the or ganization of ' the 75,000 additional vol juniteers ' called for. The order officially established ' the statement heretofore made in these disipatches that a large proportion of the new men are to be used to (All np the existing -regiments tot volunteers, "wbich are in most cases dcient tn numbers.. It is to be pre jsuimed from today's order that the vol nxnibeer regiments collected mnder the tlrtit call will fee detained until they are filled uip in this fashion sO that the or- n ider lias some 'bearing upon the plan of. campaign. i . The war department received a dis-i patch today from General Brooke, in comniand of the forces at Chickamau ga setting at rest the reports as to in adequate food and water supply there. j "When these reports were circulated re cently, Sectary Alger telegraphed an inquiry to Genera Brooke, whose reply is as follows : "There is no reason whatever for complaint as to the quality and Jkind of food furnished the troops in this camp. Some regulars arrived here -with food rations only, but defects of this kind are- quickly remedied and the vegetable component immediately pro vided. The water question is being solved as to quantity, and it has al ways been good as to quality." he naval -officials have been con siderably mystified throughout the dav bv the reports of an engagement off Santiago- At the outset there was complete scepticism and a disposition to treat the reported action as a myth. Gradually as the day advanced the corroborative evidence coming from many quarters,, including the official announcements from y Havana and Madrid, led the officials' to eoneede that some engagement has taken place, although they did not regard it as a serious one. No bulletins were issued by the department during the day and at the close of office hours it was stat ed that no dispatches from Commo dore Schley l;ad been received during the day Thero is reason to believe, however, that' the department received irxiirt advices through the state de partment, possibly not bearing out the rtknatchoa. hut sufficleni: to Indi cate that ah engagement of, some Kind Viari norurred at Santiago, ine ini pression obtained during the afternoon that, in execution Of the general in structions to all United States naval commanders on the Cuban coast, to prevent the construction or strength ening of batteries by the Spaniards, Commodore Schley, observing work of this kind going on at Morro castle, had drawn his fleet up close enough to stop it. r It is not believed for an instance '. that he made any real attempt to enter the harbor although it is entirely con ceivable that while engaged in the ; task of shelling the shore batteries, i finding the Cristobal Colon in range he 'j could not resist the temptation to try !. a few shots' at her. ) ' SPAIN'S FINANCIAL. DISTRESS. The statement from Madrid, in what peemed to be almost semi-official form, I of the acuteness of the finnancial stringency; there, and the plain intima tion that the Bank of Spain, and .con- " fsequontly Spain, were nearing the end f their financial resources, was re- ! garded at the state department as of more real significance than many of the stries of battles, on land and sea that have been coming over the cables for the bast few weeks. The effect of this notice may be to hasten the op erations against Porto Rico, lest the ;rize slip from our grasp through -a sudden and unexpected termination of . the war. An additional evidence that the ac tual forward movement of the army ' and navy has begun was given in' the action of the foreign naval and milt tarv observers.

The first musicala under its auspices was giv en at the T. M. C. A. auditorium and It more .than met the most extravagant ex pectatlana of everybody. A large and appreciative audience iwas to attendance, and -. the occasion! was pronounced one Of the onost successful and delightful eevr produced; to our . city. .1 The programme' opented at 8:30 o'clock and for an hour and: a half the audience experienced: genuine delight as the dif ferent nutmbers .were successfully pre-' senited. There was a magnificent chorus of 60 of the leading tody and gentlemen vo calists of our d'ty and the specialisl; talent completed:, am ensemble that no eity in the south could surpass. ' With Mr. E. H. Munsoni as director and Mr. A. H. lYopp as ianofote acxjomixan 1st, the first mim-ber was the singiaig of a double entree Mendelssohn's "Farewell to the Forest," and lJdhrs "Boat Song." The entire Company appeared and the audience was at once captivated." The ensemble of voices was iiotable for the harmony and expression with which the singers sang and the excellent "time" they kept, was admirable. The storm of applause which followed' was - flattering evidence of the effect on the audience and the marked' appreciation they felt. No. 2 was a . piano quartetfwith Mrs. George Haar, Miss Minnie Glameyer, Mrs. E. Schulken1, and: Mass Henrietta Shepard as 'the performers. The two, former were at one piano and the two latter at another, and the gifted ladies gave a splendid rendition- of . Mendel ssohn's "The Hebrides." There was very hearty applause by the audience. IMlss Hattie Taylor, the accomplished elocutionist, them recited a selection en titled "The Fair Schemer." Her splendid talent was displayed to. perfection and the fine kiramaitio effect she gave to the selection elicited! a spontaneous demon stration of appreciation She was encored and! again "afforded the audience great pleasure by giving another recitation' in the happiest possible manner. "The Bridge" (by Landsay) was next sung by a; quartett composed of Mr. C. H. Cooper, first tenor; Mr. R. C. Banks, second tenor; Mr. A. S. Holden, first bass, and Mr. H. K. Holden, second bass. Their voices 'blended admirably and their singling met with warm, responsive1 "ap plause.' The company again appeared amdl mag nlficlently sang "Inflamatus" from Rossi ni's Stabat Mater. The audience was Charm edi with this number and while all the singers came to for their share of appreciation. Miss Male O'Connor, the soloist, elicited unstinted adfmirati'on for Jthe superb manner in which she sang. She has a catching soprano .voice and her delivery and posing showed cultivation and training. The company was com pelled to respond to an encore. . The above concluded part first of the programme, and with only a few minutes intermission, part two was introduced by the entire company which sang, Ijohr's "Slumber Song," and York's "Sweet and Dow." They again delighted the audience and the applause that swept over the auditorium' wasi sufficient to how that the audience appreciated' their efforts. Then came a concerto by Mendelssohn which was rendered1 on the two pianos Mrs. A. M. Waddell at one and Mrs. E. Schulken at tlhe Other. .Rarely ever in "WStaiiington was there such skillful play ing as these two accomplished ladies did. They gave great pleasure to the tudience, and to our thinking this was one of the most creditable features, of the excellent programme. i A ladies' quartett .composed of Miss Male O'Connor, Miss - A&a Cooper, Mrs. Jaimes : D. Smith and Mrs. F. A. Muse, sang next "Waves on: the '-Danube." Their singing was exceptionally fine, and the audience broke into a storm of ap iplause and kept it up till the singers had to come back and repeat. The finale was a patriotic demonstra tion by the whole company, which first sang "The Old Northi State" amid the most) e nthusiastic applause, and thfen ''America" and . "God Save f the Queen" with the audience rising' to its feet and filling the auditorium with patriotic out bursts. The enthusi'asnu was; unbounded, .when in the midst of the singing of these Songs three sweet .little girls in white came Into the midst of the company and stood at the front of the rostrum bearing "United States. British and -Cuban flags. Miss May Ella Rankin bore the Stars and Stripes. Miss Ethel Holden the . flag of Great Britain; and Miss Annie Rellly the pretty colors , of the plucky little Cuban republic. The audience was inspired by this happy ending of a splendid evening's entertai ttmwrt. . Director Munsow and Accompanist Topp deserve tmudh credit for the parts they itimot 1th imaldner the affair a success. .Both "of therm are to be congratulated upon it. Before we, close this notice, it-must De noted that the rostrum was tastefully and 'beautifully draped with flags of our country, thus making an up-to-date set ting in these days when evoking the , pa triot io spirit Of our country north' and south. "There was also a pretty arrange ment of palms- and other floral decora tion's'. . The affair was in all respects marvel- Ously successful,, as was. anticipated. Th'ose whO attendecf came away from the auditorium speaking In-unstinted terms of praise of the effiorts of the association. The programme was most 'nappriy c-w celved and its executi'on reneciea' higliest credit upon those Who participat ed in i't. The nncraienv in uif jassicsi tion wort fresh laurels, and fiiol associa tion is warranted 'by. its achievement and the encouragement it received' to go for ward with Its organization and persevere in the objects and purposes for which the music lovers of our city are banded to gether.

Washington, June 1. In a significant recommendation submitted to con gress today, Secretary Alger, through the medium of a letter accompanying his recommendations, outlines in a general way the steps contemplated in the campaign against Cuba, Pprtb Rico and" the Philippines jThe letter is from Chief Engineer Ludlow, who makes the important statement that it is now proposed to forward to Cuba an army of invasion" to be composed of 15,000 or 20,000 troops, to be . followed as rapidly as practicable by 50,000 more. The secretary's recommenda tions are for approcpriations aggregat ing $3,107,000. ' One recommendation is for $2,562,000 of deficiency in the ap propriation for gun and mortar bat teries, "required immediately for .the use of the war department to remain available until expended."This amount is needed to provide emplacements for carriages of .high, power and rapid-fire - guns to be procured by the ordnance i department with the funds already ap propriated, 'etc. A second one is for $195,000 "for the establishment and maintenance of special electrical com- municatiin in connection with the ar my in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philip pine islands." Then follows a significant recom mendation for $350,000 for an expedi tionary force to Cuba, "required by the war department for immediate use." The items are as follows: For machinery and equipment for the con struction and repair' of roads $25,000; construction and equipment of mili tary railroads, $225,000; additional intrenching tools, electric appliances, photographic and topographic outfits, instruments and maps, manuals and for special and technical sacvices," $50, 000; contingencies involving immedi ate expenditure of imperative urgency that cannot be specified in advance, to be expended under the direction of IMPORTANT EVENTS OF THE!

' ' J Fred Grant is Sworn in as a the major general commanding the army, $50,000. The letter outlining the expedition ary project against Cuba is written by General Ludlow, whose special engi neering services were availed of by Secretary Alger to outline what was needed. It is dated May 22nd, was forwarded by Secretary Alger and says: . "Referrinsr to letter of April 26th. covering the project witn estimates for the establishment in Cuba of an ex peditionary force of from 3,000 to 5,000 men. I invite attention to the follow ing: , "Provisional estimates for this pur pose amounted to $150,034 which have been approved and made expendible under the immediate- direction of the major general commanding the army, in the deficiency act approved May 4, 1898. This did not include several items that, while important, could temporarily be omitted on the supposi tion no important movement would be made. Furthermore, the project for transfer to Cuba ofan expeditionary force has been materially modified, in that, instead of an assumed force of- 5,000 for the establishment of a depot and base of supplies, it is now propos ed 20.000 troops, to be followed as rapidly as practicable by 50,000 more It is. therefore, necessary to make pro- Vision for the greatly augmented scale on which the expedition Is to be equip ped and for its forward movement in the direction or t'UDa." General Ludlow says for obvious reasons the plans in detail cannot be given, but that in a general way . they can be outlined. The general nature of these engineering provisions, how ever, may be. clearly Indicated and in fact estimated ior. in me ensuing campaign account must be taken of the fact that the . rainy season In Cuba covers the summer months and must be anticiDated as affecting the time and means required for transporta tion in order not to delay movement and- imneril health.1 There are few regularly built roads in Cuba,the pin cipal onea being -westward of Havana. It is not likely that these roads have been-Jkeot in repair and it is quite cer tain that others must. be constructed ahd maintained. This will require road-making machinery as economiz ing the labor of troops and leaving them free for the purely military work, for which the numbers in question will not .be more than sufficient to equal the enemy. In addition special means of transportation will be necessary and portable three feet gauge railroads must be provided both on the estab lished lines and along such additional . f 1 1 1 AAnt and connecting lines, as may be feasi ble and expedient For railways there should not be less' than thirty miles of track and suitable equipment, which may be estimated at 5,000 per mile for track and $2,500 !per mile for equip ment. The total of this item, therefore is $225,000, Three loutfits or road mak ing machinery, Including rock quarry ing and crushing apparatus, road roll ers, ditchers and 1 graders, will cost $8,000 each, say $25,000. 'In addition, there should be an additional allow ance of say $100,000 for eleetric lights, dynamite and torpedo .appliances, etc, including the employment of scouts, spies, etc, Headquarters at TampU Bay Hotel R5INY .SEASON BEGUN; 1 : I .!..

The Spanish government, according to advices received here i1' ,"""'' intends to cut the cables which con nect that eity with Key West if the other Cuban cables are cut by the Americaps. " The Havana papers, .the same ad vices say, publish a aispaicn irom -Madrid, declaring that the Americans . intend to attack Santiago by sea ! while the insurgents are making an j attack by. land and also to land rein- forcements at Guantahamo, east of Santiago. ' A dispatch from Saniago says: j "The American squadron, which ' bombarded Santiago . yesterday, was ; composed of fourteen vessels,! among ' which were recognized the Iowa, Brooklyn, Massachusetts. Texas and ! Amazonas . (New Orleans), besides a gunboat and an auxiliary cruiser believed- to be the Columbia. : The five vessels which are recognized opened fire on the batteries at Punta ' Gorda, El Morro and Socapa and also on the cruiser Cristobal Colon, which had ad vanced toward , the entrance of the harbor and was visible from the Jhlgh sea, ' - "The Americans fired, projectiles of 32 centimetres and the batteries, as well as the Cristobal Colon, kept up an incessant responsive' Are.

" "This morning the American squad- ron reappeared off 'Santiago, but -con- s tented itself with firing two shots, which are believed to have been' sig- : nals agreed upon with- the insurgents, who, numbering 2,000 or 3,000, are said : to have 'concentrated three ' or four miles from Santiago. - . " "rreat events are expected hourly at Santiago.

' ' . SPANIARDS NOT AFRAID. ' (From a Spanish Correspondent.) ! . Havana, June 1. 7 p. - m. Admiral Cervera.lt Is 'reported here, was not at : Santiago de Cuba yesterday during the bombardment by the American squdron. Had he been there the Span ish warships would have entered the combat against the Americans, confi dent of a voctorious outcome. ' j The, Spanish troops have orders to make an energetic, a slight or no re- ' sistence, according to circumstances, with atview of facilitating yie landing ' of American forces so that the latter ' may go into the interior of the coun try, where the Spanish arej convinced that they wiU be able to defeat them. The Spanish army and navy are anx ious to measure arms with the Ameri cans and desirious that a propitious occasion may soon present itself, trust ing for. the result to the courage of the Spanish soldiers and sailors, to their better organization and to the greater skill of their commanding officers. Tampa, Fla., June 1. Hon. S. M. Parkman was today re-nomlnated for congress by the democrats of the First congressional district. . WHAT LONDON THINKS. London, June 1. Amid the conflict- ' ing accounts of what has happened at Santiago de Cuba, ft appears certain that there were two separate incidents, the Spanish torpedo, attempt Sunday night and the American bombardment or reconnaisisance. Tuesday afternoon Probably neither will turn out of great importance, except as proving that, the . entrance to the harbor is better pro tected by mines and- guns than might - nave oeen anticipated from Admiral Dewey's experience at Manila." , It is believed here that this is all Ad- S miral Sampson desired to discover and that the Spanish senate has little to exult over. Admiral Cervera is ex- pected to repeat the torpedo boat at tempts, with a. view of keeping the American squadron as distant as ' possible,, in order to facilitate his es cape. Unless he can do this, the Amer icans are almost certain to eventually capture the three or four Spanish V cruisers now known to be inside San- -tiago. The anxiety, the Spaniards betray in. publishing reports-as to evolutions of a squadron outside Cadiz leads to the surmise that Admiral Camara is al ready on the way. This, as The Daily News suggests, may explain Admiral Cervera's 'torpedo movement on Bun day and also Commodore Schley's tardy action. "Therefore," as The Daily News argues, "if Admiral Ca mara is nearing Cuba, another compli cation has arisen ; I and Admiral Samp son will have to' take care to prevent him joinfng Cervera. The Daily News also suggests that Commodore Schley's bombardment may have covered .counter-mining operations, with a view of -forcing the channel, and that it his vessels were damaged, a' fresh attempt will probably be postponed. .
