NEW YOflK , Juno 21.-A special to the
Times from 'Washington says : Front behind
an appearance of unusual exterior quiet at
the War department certain evidences of
the preparations for large and momentous
events which are known to b on foot have
made their way Into the public cognizanco.
Notable among these indications o the way
the war wind is blowing was tue announce-
meat that the volunteers encamnpeti at
Mobile , on the Albama gulf coast , have beemt
ordered to Miami , on the Atlantic coast of
Florida. There are six of these regiments ,
tIme First and Second Texas , First and
Second Alabama and First and tecond
Louisiana , nil Infantry , and nil , frotn the
fact of their coming from the lower tier of
southern states , regarded as pecultnry
adapted for service in the \Vest Indies In the
hot. season.
Mianit is the southernmost towr in
Florida , being situated at. the termInus of
the east coast railway , far down In the
neighborhood of the everglades. TIme sendIng -
Ing of time Mobile troops there Is in execution
of the plan detertnined upon as a result of
the over-crowding at Tampa. It was 1mm-
tended to use several poimmta Lor time diii-
barking of the succeeding dxlfctiittons.
Mmmiii was Inspected with a. view to its be-
ing made a camp silo by the special army
board sent south by Secretary Alger two
weeks ago , and It was one of the places
suggested as being suitable for the concentration -
centration of a small nutuber of troops along
with Fernandina , Savantmnh. Charleston mmd
JacksonIlle , .
It is understood that he facilities at
Miami are inadqunte to any hargd number
of troops , and the impression is that ( en' , it
any , in addition to those alreidy sent , wihi
be dispatched there. it 'Is Lll Con-
tempinted to make Fernnndlna the maifl
point of embarkation for tlieexpeditlonary
force now being organized for the Invasion
of Porto ( ( leo , when the capture of
Santiago do Cuba line been acooinplishl.
The harbor at Fernaticlina is the beat along ,
th' Florida coast for time ttnconimodation of
th big transports , atid it is there that the
majority of them will be 'mobilized. although -
though dotachmnients of the Porto Rican ec-
nedition uimdoubtedlv * 111 bo enibarked at
Miami , Charleston , iacksonvtlle and per-
hais others of the coast points advocated
by the army board.
For tIme second sectiomi of GenCral Shaft-
or's army additional battcrhe of artillery are
being dispatched to Tampa , that port being
the destination of time battery ordered fromn
Fort Siocum , the battery ordered from Fort
Adams and the two batteries ordered from
Fort Monroe yesterday. These will be sent
to join the two heavy and six light batteries
which at present make General Shatter's
cimtire artillery strength. Tlmd four tramie-
ports ecmit around to Tampa and the two
ordered there tron Mobile , the Specialist ,
Unionist and Cataimia , which . sailed from
New York several days ago , will be used , it
is said , for conveying the supplementary cx-
petition to Santiago and their departure
may take place in a few days.
There does not appear any reason why it
shouid be delayed any longer thati is necessary -
sary to get the forces together and timero is
every reason , experienced officers say , why
General Shatter should have his full coin-
plement of artillery as soomm as possible.
Almost equally pressing , say . these observ-
era , is his need of a respectable contingent
of cavalry , the horses for 'whielm will be
taken to Santiago by the second fleet of
transports , which will be fitted up with
especial regard to the accommodation of
animais. .
