An Associated J'resH disjuteli, via.
Mole St. Nicola:-, Hayti. June .'I, says:
The I'nited States army for the inva
oi u ot Cuba, l." ( Etiouuf, com
manded by Cieneral Shaffer, arrived ctf
Santiairo de CnVta, at uoou today. The
time of its disembarkation Las not
yet been determined upon, but it will
probably be within the next three days.
When the Heet of ;!? transports, with
its freight of lighting men, swept
up the southern toast today, and slowed
up within sight of the doomed city of
Santiago do Cuba, the anxiously await
ed soldiers were greeted with ringing
cheers which faintly reached the tiaii-s-ports
from the warships, aud they were
uuswered by the trooi'S mos.t heartily
and in kind.
The ( oinniaiuli is ( onsiill.
The Bteamer Segurama, having on
boaul (ieueral Shufter and his stall,
steamed to the llagslup of the American
fleet iu order to visit Kear Admiral
Sampson. 'The general went on board
the flagship aud later (ieueral Shatter,
Admiral .Sampson aud a party of oflicers
boarded the Seguianca, which went to
Aserrudeo, about IT miles west of San
tiago, and near which place ( ieueral
( iuicia is encamj ed with 4,0 -0 Cuban
soldiers. ( ieneral Shafter and his stall
uiid Hear Admiral Sampson went ashore
and proceeded to (ioueial (iarcia's
headquarters, about a mile inland,
where they spent several hours in con
sultation with the Cuban general. At
the conclusion of the conference, (ien
eral Shafter and the other ollicers had
littie or nothing to eay regarding the
plans for landing the Americau troops
or for the co-operation of the Cubans.
The be9t information obtainable is that
there will be no attempt to make a land
ing for two or three da vs.
Voyage of I be 1- leet
The army of invasion left Lgmont
Key at noon on Tuesday, dune Hth,
convoyed by the I nited States war
ships Indiana, Caxtinc, Helena, Anntip
olis, Haucroft, Morrill and Hornet.
Th; passage was necessarily slow, as
two big water barges and the schooner
Stevens, also used for water, had to bo
towed. At liebeccaShoals light house,
tho fleet was joined by the I'nited
States warships Detroit, Osceola,
Washington aud LT'icesou. When the
transport tleet left J'oit Tampa it was
tho intention of those in authority to
take the western course, around Cape
Antonio, but later it was decided to go
via tho Florida Straits, that being a
fhoiter distance. After the fleet got
into the rough waters of the straits thy
transports were formed into three hues,
about I, not) yards apart, with t'-OO yards
separating the ships.
'J he voyage throughout was tedious
and uninteresting. The weather was
excellent and consequently there was
little sutiering from seasickness. Hut
fourteen cases of typhoid fever and
some little measles developed. The
surgeons, however, say tho health of
the men is exceptionally good.
l'robable IJesiguat ions.
There are rumors current in Madrid
that the Cortes may Ptispend its sessions
during the coming week, when Senor
I'uigeerver, the Minister of Finance,

the Premier, Senor Sagasta. will be
compelled to submit to the ,'ueeii
Kegent a question of confidence iu the
ministry. It is possible then thai Senor
Sagasta ax i 1 1 resign, iu which case, it
is said, a national government, pledged
to tho most euergetie course, will
succeed his ministry.

Secietarv (iage has written a letter
to the lluti'O ways and meaus com

impossible to put the adhesive stamp
section of the war revenue measure
into operation on July 1st, and asking
that the time be extended until July

creased from 1 to '' per cent., in order
to increase popular interest in the dis

Tho Madrid correspondent of tho

at which peace is obtainable and the

Should Spain adopt the ci uel aud uu

tho regulations of tho War J epai t

The following principle is laid down iu
its regulations:
"Retaliation will never be resetted
to as a mea-uie of mere revenge, but
only as a measure of protective 1 ett ii-u-tion,
and, hioieovcr, cautioti' !y and un
