Wnshlnston May 20 Nothing of special
interest wnc giien out by members of the
cabinet after tclav < meeting So far as
can be learned no official confirmation has
boon received of tho report tint tho Span-
ish flicthas airived at Santiago de Cuba
Whether or not the navy department will
iroccod en tho es3iimptlon that the Span-
iards aro in Santiago Is not known but
It Is assumed that thev will list ascot tain
the facts bejond nucttlon before sending
a squadron at oace on such a loiu Journej
The Philippine expedition occupied n con-
siderable portion of todays meeting Gen-
eral Greeley who Is organising a signal
scrvlcd for tbo Phillpplno expedition waa
at tho White llouso aho t an hour during
iho i ihintt meeting
The illscussion of the Philippine expedi-
tion bore on what the United States troops
would encounter there The porillation of
thu islands the fighting forte ot the Span
lards in that quaner tun the geoi < phlcal
phnraguph of th > omtpatlon ot the islands
were considered Statements as to tho
tioops v hkh General Mertilts fores will
hnvo to copo with were submitted They
ranged flora 0000 to 20010 Spanish soldiers
but tho conclusion rerelied was that tho
number could be successful counted ot
as about 10000 m ° n The force already
selected to go with General Merrltt was
believed to be more than adequate to tooa
with these troops who were thought to bo
In none the best of condition as to disci
pllne or equipment If tho numbers wcio
found greater the administration would
send as many men as would bo wanted to
reinforce thosp about to ctait with Gen-
eral Mirritt
A significant feature of thu session was
the absence rf any discussion of the mil-
itary and naval movements as to Cuba or
tho Spinlsh fleet This was one ptnsu of a
policy which has been agreed on between
tho members of thp presidents cabinet
and asido from Secretin Alger and Sec-
retary Long very little Is known by the
cabinet es to what Is going on in the sea
south of us This Is ln line with the ad-
ministrations firm policy of withholding
any information that might be taken ad-
vantage nf by the enemy in a lew of tho
frequent chance conversations of individual
members n which such nevs might be
unlntentlonallv made known

Washington special ebs General Mile
is quoted on lha subject of Cuban invasion-
s having Fald to a friend
The army Is not now ln fihapo for the
invasion of Cuba and a great deal ot hard
work will be necessary before It can bn
put In proper condition for such a cam-
paign It lacks dUclpline and in fait Is
deficient a little In ever thing that enters
into tho proper equipment of an army for
actual campaign Bettor raw material for
j magnificent army was never collected
together but rooro than that Is require 1
for effettlvo operations ln a hostile uoun
tr under adverse climatic conditions The
trcops aro being hurried forwatd to thu
mlaci3 selected tor general encitapmnu
as possible
and m
the arms Is proceeding rapidly
duo course of time the army will bo ssa
toned and ready for bard campaigning
such as they would expect to cncounier ln
unacrtaklng the conquest of Cuba
The general did not name any time lor
throwing the army Into Cuba but it al
very Plain from the tone of his conversa-
tion that several weeks must elapse before
tho volunteer army will bo ready for tho
real business of the war lly that time
tho rainy season will bo approaching Is
wor3t and epidemics if there are to dj
any will have developed In Havana and
elsewhere ln Cuba The Ides of an aggrJs
stvo campaign against Cuba h < tot been
abandoned tow ever but It will be under-
taken by sea and not by Ian J unless cir-
cumstances should make a demonstration
by the army an Imperative military neces-
sity Under such circumstances our army
would have to bravo tbo dangers of disease
bullets A sufficient
ease as well as Spanish
cient number of transports will be pnt
in readiness for the movement of an army
of 30000 to 50000 men acrrss Cuba Vcs
