members of parliament and officials of

at an early hour by the usual immense

scriptions of vehicles. Dieudonne,

SOLDERING.

Isn't What it is Cracked Up to Be-"
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, May 25.-The
endurance of the men composing the
"Cowboy" regiment was put to severe
test yesterday and this morning, under
a sun that sent the mercury up to a
hundred in the shade. They drilled
on horseback and on foot as if their
lives depended upon their energy.
The men from Arizona and New
Mexico have come to the conclusion
that "This soldering amt what it's
cracked up to be-" and the Oklshomss
and boys from the Indian territory
cordially agree with them. Still there
is no complaint.
The regiment is ready. The details
of forgers to make horse shoes have
finished their task. Now the men are
praying for an order from the war de-
partment to move. The word is ex-
pected hourly.

IN SANTIAGO
HARBOR
Cervera May Work Great Destruction,
But the Final Result is Not in

Cervera May Work Great Destruction,
But the Final Result is Not in
Doubt
WASHINGTON, May 25.-What will
happen in Santiago harbor? 1t is q
big bottle well corked and secured,
with Cervera's fleet inside. Outside
Sampson and Schley are trying to
draw the cork and get in.
Experts do not share the popular no
ton that there is going to be repeti-
tion of the Manila affair. nor is it be-
lieved that our fleet will be content
simply to blockade the harbor entrance
while the Spanish ships are inside.
Cervera's fleet is doomed to destruc-
tion, that being required for the moral
effect it would have on the world. A
decisive blow would hasten greatly the
conclusion of the war. Shall conclus-
ions be tried at Santiago, the affair
will be fully as brilliant and ski1ful as.
though differing greatly from, the
battle of Cavite.
To overwhelm the Spaniards in their
stronghold is an undertaking that ii
successfully accomplished will fully
recompense the American fleet for
their long wait and dull blockade duty.
1t may prove that the bonn bardment
of the Santiago forts will smoke Ger
vera out, but that is not the usual
Spanish style, and such result is not
expected. He will probably lie back
at Santiago and let our fleet wrestle
with the forts and mines, reserving
his attack or defense until the Amer
lean fleet should be at disadvantage,
owing to damage and loss of anmuni-
tion.
1t is believed that the reduction of
the harbor forts could be accomplished
by the big guns of the battle ships
and monitors. With the forts disposed
of there would still be mines. But the
monitors would have made way for the
dynamite cruiser Vesuvius, and her
long slender guns would set OF the
mines by means of dynamite dropped in
the channel.
These preliminsries out of the way,
the channel might still be unsafe to
run through, with the whole Spanish
fleet punched, bow on, at the farther
end. Five to seven miles is too long
range for ships guns, which are in
capable of high elevation, aud the
army might have to be called upon for
soldiers to hold one of the points and
place heavy siege mortars to be fired
from land. They could make the har-
Dor so hot for the Spaniards that they
might be glad to forsake the frying
pan for the fire outside.
All this would take time, but every
day would see the Spanish position
more difficult, and the Americans
more commanding, with the final re-
suit never in doubt. 1t is q very
beautiful program of the strategists.
and nothing unexpected will happen
to prevent it's being carried out

Martial Law Will Probably Be Pro-
claimed.
KEY West, May 25.-Since the police
force resigned three weeks ago the
lawless element in this city has been
in clover. Last night John G. Dorsey,
wealthy machinist, was murdered
and robbed. His body was found to-
day at Front and Duvail streets. Last
night two United States sailors named
Wallick and Eisenschuitzen were shot.
The latter died some time later. The
good citizens have taken up the cases
and will run down the murderers.
KEY WEST, May 20.-The murder of
sailors last night by negroes led to
talk Of lynchings. Martial law will
probably be proclaimed. The marines
at La Brisa will probably be called up
on to police the town. Today marines
are guarding the government docks
and property. Trouble Is expected to-
night, but every precaution against it
will be taken.
