Government offisials begin to believe the reports, hitherto not accepted, that the Spanish fleet which sailed from Verde put back to Cadiz.

This, if true,indicates that Spain desert: the Islands of Cuba and Porto, Rico and jis playing, fuxy game in hopes that the United States will send her squadron t> Spain.

General belief at the Navy Department i3 that, on the Americans capturing Cuba ‘aud Porto Rico within two weeks Spain will throw up the sponge.

Otherwise a big flzet will be sent across the ocean to wipe her vessels from the sea and overpower her on land with a force of 100,000 men,

The department has promulgated an order for 75,000 troops to invade Cuba.

The order calls for the concentration of , 150,060 volunteers on southern camp #8 grounds, including 120 regiments io infantry, and 25 regiments in cavalry and , artillery. Only half will be sent to Cuba; ‘the others being kept as reserves.

The Cuban army of invasion wil! be com manded by Generals Coppinger, Shafter

and Lee.

The Spanish forces in Cubs are reported tonumber 100,000 but only balfare in fighting form.
