This complete somersault ie one of the most amusing features of the campaign As @ matter Of fact, the change in the betting has been brought about by the change in the situation. When Roosevelt was nominated, the betting'msn thought he could be rushed through the campaign on the hurrah, and that the voters of the state would forget everything else but that he was a brave soldier in the Santiago campaign; consequently they backed him for 8 winner.

 DELAY FAvORS SPAIN.
Several New au Powerful Vessels VIII Soon Be Ready for service--Troops
 Sent to the CanarIes.

NEW YORK, April i2.-The Washing ton correspondent of the New York Herald sends this news of the Spanish naval operations
 Instead of the battleship Palayo sailing for the Canaries several days ago, as the authori- ties were led to believe by a cablegram froa Minister Woodford she had merely gone to sea for her final trial The armored cruiser Carlos ", the officials have been informed, will be ready to join the force which sailed for the Canaries in three or four days She will be ac- companied by the remainder of the torpedo boats now at Cadz The troops sent by Spain to the Canaries are to be employed in manning the Notifications, in order to prevent the ls- lands from falling into the hands of the United States in case of war, for they are a most inn portant base of supplies for the Spanish vcs- sells and Spain.
 That Spain will be benefited by delay in act- ing is matter of common talk in naval circles The iron battleship Numancia will be ready within a very short time and three torpedo gun vessels will be shortly ready for service Within three weeks Spain will be in her best possible conditions, not only in the way of get- ting her ships ready, but in getting them to points where 1t will be easy for them to be quickly combined

SAYS SPAIN WOULD WIN.
Former Minister of spanish Marines Says Firing Would Cause Panic
 American Ships


 MADRID, April 12.-El Heraldo de Madrid publishes an interview with Adm. Beranger, former minister of marine, in the course of which he ex- pressed his confidence in the ability of the Spanish navy to win in the event of war with the United States. 'sThere is no fear" said Adm. Beranger, 'of our Cuban ports being exposed to a night attack, inasmuch as Havana, Cienfuegos. Nuevitas and Santiago de Cuba are defended by electric and au- tomatic torpedoes with large radius of action. The late Senor Canovas del Castillo, who paid attention to these matters, decided, in ac- cord with myself, to send to Cuba 190 torpedoes which must have been placed in those harbors 1 have al- ready said that, by sea, we shall be vic- torious. l will give you my reasons. The first is the excellent dicipline main- tained on our warships: the second is that, on board the American vessels, as soon as firing is opened a panic will set in, since it is common knowledge that their crews comprise men of ev- cry nationality.

ON AMERICAN SOIL.
Consul General Lee and Party Arrive iu Tampa and at Once Leave for
 Washington.

KEY WEST, Fla, April i2.-Consul General Lee arrived here on the Fern at 7:so o'clock Sunday morning. Gen. Lee came ashore about II o'clock and received an answer to telegram he had sent to Washington The general sailed for Tampa ai noon. From that port he will go direct to Washington. Sen. Lee and party left Havana Satur- dav evening about six o'clock. As the Fern rounded to, heading for the open sea, she passed near the Maine wreck. The group on deck had been laughing and talking, ex- pressing their satisfaction at leaving Havana. With one accord each man doffed his hat in salute to the brave dead, while silence fell on all for the space of several minutes Gen. Lee being on board the Fern, made that boat target for redoubled misses. groans, cat-calls and whistles from the crowd on shore. Get out, Yankees. swine," were among the mildest expressions used. This seemed to strike everyone on board as ludi- crous. Vice Consul Springer, who had beep in the island 80 years, waved his hat to a particularly abusive group, saving in tones loud enough for all to hear. "Wait, wait, my friends, we shall all be back soon"

WAsHINGToN, April i2 The consu- lar correspondence, with regard to the situation in Cuba, which was trans- mitted yesterday, was prepared in re- sponse to resolutions of inquiry adopted by both the house and senate.

KEY WEST, Fla-s April 12. News has reached Havana of the massacre of 50 reconcentrados at Escambra. Permis- sion was given the reconcentrados in Santa Clara to return to their devas- tated homes. They issued from the city and camped at Escambra, erect ing palm huts. Trusting the Spaniards they began anew the struggle for ex- istence. To escape starvation the fu- gitives killed several heads of cattle out of a drove of hundreds which the Spaniards have never been able to take to the towns, so closely are they guarded by the insurgents This was made the pretext for massacre.

THE MAINE WRECK.
Gen. Lee May Add Some Knowledge to What Is Already Known of
 Conspiracy.

TAMPA, Fla, April 12. Gen. Lee may be able, when he reaches Washington, to add some knowledge to what is al- ready known regarding the plot by which the Maine was blown up, though not, perhaps, to the extent of fixing the conspiracy officially on the Span ish government. After the departure of the Sampson court of inquiry it was left to him to follow up the clews re- garding conspirators On one point information is definite. Gen. Lee be- lieves the letter of January 1, att tributed to Gen. Weyler, in which Weyler speaks boastfully of having pre- pared Havana harbor so that Yankee ships could be destroyed, is genuine.
