The war department today issued or ders for the assembling of 29,087 vol unteers at Chickamauga. This em braces 88 regiments and five batteries.

L It is stated at the war department that the order to the New York and First Massachusetts regiments to pro ceed to Tampa by water has hech coun termanded. The troops will go to that place by rail. . Waiting for the Victory. Tampa, Fla., Muy 16,—It is thought that the sighting of the Spanish fleet will cause the poBtjxmenient of the sail ing of the fleet of transports for Cuba. Now that there is another chance for a decisive conflict between the fleets, army movements will wait until that conflict, which it is hojied will result in the destruction of the enemy, shall actually tgko।place. Should Admiral Sampson prove victorious, no doubt is entertained ' that orders will be given for instant embarkation, and the op- portunity the army has been longing lor will be at hand. Joseph E. Wheeler, the old Con- federate cavalry leader, recently com missioned major-general of volunteers, will command the United States cav alry in the Cuban army of invasion. Major Gallinger will be inspector-gen eral of cavalry. -....... Nearly 1,600 troops, regulars and state militiamen, arrived in Tampa to day and went into camp. Washington, May 16.—It is said at the war department that General Mer ritt will command the Philippine expe dition. r Similar orders to proceed ’ to the Philippines were sent to Major-Gen eral E.*S. Otis, commanding the de partment of the Colorado. The orders to General Otis direct him to report to General Meiritt for duty under his direction the Philippino islands. General Otis will be second in com mand, and will act as military governor of the islands in case of the absence or disability of General Merritt. Orders were also issued for an army corps of about 12,000 men for immediate duty in the ''hilippines. , This corps will be made up of regulars and volunteer organizations stationed on the Pacific coast and in the far Western states. San Francisco, May 16.—The Bulle tin says: Almost without the knowl edge Of people around and about San Francisco, for two weeks past the har bor and its approaches have been set with torpédos and mines. The work ia not entirely completed, but is nearly so. For 14 days, the government tug boat Unadilla has been placing the sub marine destroyers. Over 300 torpédos are said to have lieen placed in position. The Unadilla did the work mostly at night. Her lights were dimmed, and every precaution taken to prevent spies from locating the defenses. Last night the work, so far as the Unadilla is con cerned, was finished. The harbor is now not only defended by heavy butter ies, but by complete fields of torpedo«, the locations of which are kept secret. Five Killed In New York.
