Word came from Washington yes
terday that both of Nebraska's regi
ments will see active service in the
war. They will both shortly be sent
to Cub. This was decided upon when
the adjutant-general announced that
one of tho legiments would shortly be
sent to camp at Chickamauga anti the
other to ihe camp which will be lo
cated across tha river in Virginia from
Washington.
Fifty thousand troops within the
next few weeks will form an army of
invasion" for Cub:i, and both the Ne
braska regimen :s are expected to make
part , of the invadiog army. The
troops were to be hurried east as
rapidly as found practicable, armed,
equipped, drilled and placed on trans
ports. It is the intention of the ad
ministration to rush the campaign in
the island, capture HavRn and occupy
Cuba as rapidly as possible.
Late last night, however. Gov. Hol-
