Fifteen Thousand Troops Under Command of Major-General Shafter
Set Sail From Key West this Morning.
PERSONAL, MENTION.
fORpDABliE FLEET AGTIflG "
AS A GOflVOY TO THE TROOPS
The Government Officials Believe the Expedition Will Reach
Santiago No Later Than Thursday, When Troops
Will Be Immediately Landed.
Washington, Jane 13. It was for
mally announced at the war department
this morning that the first military ex
pedition had left Key West at day break
for Santiago. A large force of transports
conveyed the troops under convey of a
strong squadron of warships ranging
from the largest warships to the small
gunboats and fast sailing yachts.
All yesterday there were lively con
ferences between official of the war and
navy departments, and after an all-day
seeeion, the war department bad com
pleted its plans fer conveying troops to
the transports.
Major-General Shcfter.who commands
the expedition, has with him a force ot
773 officers and 14,534 enlisted men.
Regular troops make up the greater
part of the force, these beeing only two
volunteer, organizations in the expedi
tions. These are the Seventy-first New
York and Second Massachusetts iniant
ry volunteers, and two dismounted
eqnads of four troops each from First
United States volunteer cavalry regi
ment, which Col. Wood commands, and
of which Theo. Roosvelt is lieutenant
colonel. Whother any ef these officers
are with the squads named is not yet
known at the war department. It was
difficult to prevail upon the mounted
riflemen to leave their mounts behind,
but this was a matter of necessity, it is
said, owing to the lack of accommoda
tions for horses on shipboard. The best
the department could do at this time in
the way of supplying the cavalry con
tingent for the expedition was to include
among the troops one squad of the Sec
ond United States cavalry, fully mount
ed with nine officers and 280 enlisted
men.
The troops that make up this expedi
tion are.
Infantry regiments Sixth, Seventh,
Seventy-first New York volunteers ;
Tenth, Twenty-first, Second, Fifty
third, Eighth, Twenty-fourth, Ninth,
Twenty-second, Second Massachusetts
volunteers; First, Fifteenth, Thirteenth,
Seventh, Seventeenth, Third, Thirtieth.

ST. LOUIS' PRIZE
A BRITISH COLLIER
She was Taken off Moraot Point, Jamai
ca, While En Route to Santiago
With Coal for Cervera's Fleet
-A dispatch to
St. Nicholas,
New York, June 13.
the Herald from Mole
Hayti, says : '
The merchantman captured by the
auxiliary cruiser St. Louis, juBt off Mor
ant Point, Jamaica, last Friday night,
was the British steamer Twickenham.
On board the Twickenham are 3200 tons
of coal for the Spanish fleet. She has
been sent as. a prize to Key West.
The captured steamer is a London
vessel, which first went to Martinique
expecting to effect a junction with Ad
miral Cervera's squadron at this island.
The fleet had departed before her arri
val and she was detained there as a
suspicious vessel by the French author
ities. Word was brought to Admiral Samp
eon that the Twickenham bad left Mar
tinique on Wednesday.- The St. Louis
was immediately dispatched to inter
cept her. Twenty miles out of Kingston

. The British captain -at -first; made a
vigorous denial that he was carrying
coal for the Spanish fleet. His vessel
was searched, howeVer, by the men
from the St. Louis. In the fireroom a
man- in overalls was found who spoke
only Spanish. After a vigorous cross
examination by Captain Goodrich, ot
the St. Louis, this man admitted that
he was a Spanish officer in charge of the
cargo. On the approach of the St. Louis
he had thrown bis papers and commis
sion overboard. ' He appeared to be
badly scared at the way things had
turned ont. He was sent as a prisoner
of war to Key West on board the cap
tured steamer.
The St. Louis has recently engagedn
cutting cables around Cuba. Lieuten
ant Allen said that when she pasjed
Gnantanamo last night the Stars and
Stripes were still flying over the marines
on the hill. The American men-of-war
were lying in the harbor, but there had
been no engagement yet with the
Spanish.
