WASHINGTON ; HCayiO. The archbishops
of the OaUiblla.chureb.-Jn the United States
have agreed upon a letter , addressed to the
clergy and laity of the country. The let
ter bears on the war with Spain , and will
be read In all the churches on Sunday. It
is Indorsed by Mgr. Murtlnelll. the apostolic
tolic delegate , and Is as follows :
To ( be clergy and laity of the Catholic
cuuritt of the United States , Greeting :
The , events that have succeeded the blow
ing up of the battleship Maine and the sac
rifice ' of 266 Innocent victims , the patriotic
ueame'n of the United States , have culmin
ated In. war with Spain and our beloVtd
country.
Whatever may have been the Individual
opinions of Americans prior to the declara
tion of war there now can be no two opin
ions as to the duty of the loyalty of the
Americans. A resort to arms was dctcrm-
inod-upoii by the chief wnxr.utlvn of the na
tion ; with the advice of both houses of
congress and , after consultation with his
cabinet ' officers , but not until every effort
had 'bfcen exhausted to bring about an honorable -
orablo and peaceful solution of our diffi
culties with Spain. The patient calmness ,
the dignified forbearance , the subdued firm
ness o ( President McKlnley during the try
ing stimo that intervened between the de-
stiuctlon ' of Uio Maine and the declaration
are 'beyond all praise and should command
the admiration of every true American. We ,
the ' members of the Catholic church , are
true- Americans , and as such are loyal to
our country and our flag and obedient to
the highest decrees and the supreme au
thority gt the nation.
We are" not now engaged In a war of sec
tion , against section , or state against state ,
but we are united as one man against a
foreign enemy and a common foe. If , as we
nro taught by our holy church , love of
country Is next to love of God , a duty Im
posed on us by all laws , human and ill vine , ,
then It Is our duty to labor and to pray tor 1
the temporal and spiritual ;
well-being of I
the 'bravo soldiers who uro battling for our ;
beloved country. Lot us faithfully beg |
the K ° d of battles to crown their arms on
land and sea with victory and triumph , and
to ptny every unnecessary vision of blood ,
and speedily restore peace to our beloved
land and people.
To this end we direct that on nnd after
the receipt of this circular , and until the
closq of this war , every prleat shall , In his
dully mass , pray for the restoration of
pcnco and victory for our flag. Wo also
direct that prayers for the brave soldiers
and sailors that full In battle bo said every
day nftor mass. These prayers shall bo said
loud with the people , and shall bo one Our
Father , and ono Hall Mary and the Da

A largo force of stevedores are at work

the vessel sent to the try dock for cleaning.
It is thought that the Australia and Pe "

Supplies for the Asiatic squadron and the

The steamship Conemnugh has arrived

WASHINGTON , May 10. Dy Friday
morning the commanding general of the
United States army , llnjor Goncr.il Miles ,
will have assembled his staff around him at
Tampa. Flo. Ho leaves Washington tomor- '
row night , taking with him Colonel Mlchler ,
Colonel Mnus , Colonel Grccnlcaf , Major Ox-
good , Major Humphreys , Captain Seyburn
nnd Captain Scott. Only ono member of the
staff , Captain Davis , will remain at head
quarters and ho will follow the general
within two or three days , or as soon -as ho
can turn over the euro of the business at
army headquarters to an officer to bo desig
nated for that duty. Unless present plans
are changed , the general will go with the
first military expeditionary force to Cuba.
He Is not expected to relieve the major gen
erals already selected for the task of the
conduct of the campaign , but both in Flor
ida nnd In Cuba will cxerclso the same gen
eral superintendence over the campaign Unit
he now does from his headquarters In Wash
ington.
The arrangements for the move upon Cuba
arc being hastened with such nn energy that
It is evident to any observer that the begin
ning of the campaign Is imminent. It is ex
pected hero that within n week the first
troops will bo on their way from the United
States to Cuba. The only delay will arlss
in the difficulty of securing the necessary
number of transports and the quaitcrmas-
'
tcr's department Is making great efforts to
assemble a sufficient number of these shlpj
nt the gulf ports in time to receive the
troops , who arc even now on their way
there.
Orders have been given for 10,000 ham
mocks to be furnished immediately
for use
of the army to bo delivered within the next
fortnight. Experts have reported that a
hammock is an absolute
necessity In n
Cuban campaign. It Is the only means to
escape the vermin which otherwise make
sleep Impossible to the soldier and it Is also
the only way ho can escape the fatal damp
ness of tbo rank , rich soil.
Engineers from the War department went
out yesterday to the neighborhood of Falls
church nnd located definitely the great camp
upon ' which will bo concentrated from 30,000
: o 40,000 United States troops within the next
week or two. The tract selected embraces
about 1,400 acres of splendid land , well
watered and wooded , nnd will afford accom
modations for nil the soldiers comprised
within the president's first order.

CHATTANOOGA , Tcnn. , May 10. At '
Chlckamnuga park today officers and men
of the regular army regiments are rushing
as they have not been called upon to do
since the days of the civil war. The order
for the entire army to pack up and go to
the front at once was announced at ! )
o'clock , , and. since then things have been
moving at a tremendous pace. The railroad
men have been running all available cars
to the park , and as rapidly
as they , /irrivo
they are loaded with the camp equipment ,
horses , supplies , etc. The work of , moving
the big command during the next few days ,
as they are expected to do , Is an fmmenso'j
job for the railroads. They had received no
Intimation of the sudden orders , and had
made no adequate preparations. The two
lines to Tampa , the Southern and tho-West
ern & Atlantic , are doing everything possi
ble , but the Indications are now that the
first troops will not get out before tomorrow
morning. The first out will probably bo
the infantry division , composed of the Second
end , Seventh , Eighteenth , Sixteenth and
Twelfth regiments.
Five hundred passenger coaches to carry
the men to Tampa will bo available tonight.
Colonel Sheridan of General Brooke's staff ,
speaking for the general at nonn today , Bald :
"Tho order does not soy rush to the front ;
simply Instructs us to get there ua soon
we conveniently can. Of course , we will
move as rapidly as possible , but it will
probably be several days before all are out. In
There are l > ,000 men with hundreds of horses
and a largo amount of equipment in the park
and the whole business cannot bo moved
within a few hours. "
Colonel Sheridan refused to give any
opinion about what the order meant. The
majority of the officers , however , do not
hesitate In saying that It means they will
land in Cuba as soon as they can got there.
Besides the Infantry division , the Third and
Sixth cavalry go to Tampa. The Second
cavalry will go to Mobile and the First and
Tenth . . cavalry to New Orleans. All the ar
tillery was sent , out several days ago.
General Brooke and staff will remain here
assist in the organization of tbo volunteer
army , should it be ordered here. The signal
corps has also been ordered to remain hero
until further orders.
The ' medical corps of each regiment was
today' provided with medical supplies for
sixty days. The medical force Is to be
Increased from fifteen to twenty-five men ,
soon as the regiments have been Increased
their war strength.
All recruits will be ordered to report to
Tampa , New Orleans and Mobile. A largo for
number arrived today and were provided
with the necessary equipments.
An order has been Issued signed by Ad
jutant General Sheridan , forming the
Eighth , Twelfth and Sixteenth regiments of
infantry into a brigade , to be commanded .
Colonel Guy V. Henry , Fred A. Smith ,
assistant adjutant general , and Lieutenant
Stafford of the Eighth regiment , brigade
quartermaster. This brigade Is ordered to
proceed at once , "fully equipped for field
service , to Tampa , Flo. , and report to the
general commanding at that point. "
The game order also formed the Second
and Seventh Infantry Into a brigade , Brig
adier General Adna R. Chaffeo in command ,
who la also ordered to proceed 00 early as
possible with his brigade to Tampa , fully
equipped for field service. I
In reply to a query tonight , Adjutant General - .
eral Sheridan said that before Friday night
the troops will have been moved south ,
accomplishment duo to tbe fact that ev
command has been on waiting orders
a week , and each command has disposed
all Its surplus baggage and equipment.

WASHINGTON , May 10. It Is harJ to tell
whether the naval ofllcors were relieved cfr
disappointed by the news that came late
this afternoon to bojkh the Nnvy and Stnte
department ! ) to thfl effect that the Spanish
llylnK squadron had arrived at Cadiz , Spain.
The safety of the Oregon from attack Is
now completely assured , and the way l
clear for military operations In Cuba with
out running the risk of having the occupy-
In I ! army's line of communication cut off.
On the other hand , It Is bellovad that no
enduring peace can bo accurcd until the
Spanish navy has been destroyed , and It
appears that to do this our sailors must
mnko up their minds to go after the Spun-
lards , n task much more difficult than that
of meeting them near our own shores. .
It was suggested by some of the members '
of the war hoard that there was just a
possibility that the Spanish squadron might
tnkc a quick passage into the Pacific
through the Suez canal and attack Dewey
at Manila. '
It Is Raid that contrary to the common
understanding the Suez canal Is open to the
war ships of belligerent powers , EO If the
Spanish chose to tnlto this course they
would have a long start of any licet from
our side.
It Is scarcely believed , however , that th
Spanish are willing to take the great risk
of exposing to our attack their own homo
'ports by the withdrawal of n considerable
portion of their nnval strength , as would
bo required to overmatch Ucwey.
Nothing was heard from Sampson today ,
but there is a * confident expectation that In
teresting news will be coming from his
Kquadron within twenty-four hours. Whether
this means an attack on Porto Hlco or not
cannot bo learned.
It IliiHteiiN PreimrntlotiN.
The effect of tbo retreat of the Spanish
fleet has been to basted even more the prep
arations already .under fullTicadway for the
dispatching of military expeditions to Cuba.
It also has caused a complete change in the
concentration pluus.
Time Is now bsllcved to bo the great fac
tor. There Is no longer opportunity to In
dulge In extensive drilling and practice
maneuvers , the regular army does not need
this.
Many of the regiments entering the volun
teer service nro felt to be sufficiently trained
from a military point of view to follow the
regulars . , and the department indicated Us
Intention to send these directly to the gulf
coast for shipment Instead of sending them
to Chtckamauga.
ThU j disposition was shown by the changes
In the new orders Issued to the troops , al
though lliero yet may be a return to the
original program of concentration if the
plans show signs of weakness as they do-
volop.
The quartermaster-general has already
gotten under charter twenty-seven merchant
steamers for the transport of troops , and.
roughly ppeaklns , thcso should carry about |
20,000 men. Others are being procured as
rapidly as possible.
Thn plan of the War department Is to
have these vessels assemble at the different
gulf ports Tampa , Mobile , Now Orleans
and Galveston to take on troops which will
be sent there. The Navy department Is
expected to furnish convoys for these trans
ports , which would bo absolutely helpless
against Spanish attack.
At this point thcro are signs of friction.
First , the transports will be obliged to
await Admiral Sampson's return In order to
secure proper convoy ; and , second , the navy
objects decidedly to undertaking the task
of convoying a number of transports. It
Insists that to assure the safety of the con
voy of the troops all the transports should
bo gathered In ono fleet to start from Tampa
