Washington, June 1O.-Out of the
maze of doubt and contradiction as to
the dispatch of the first army of inva-
sion to Cuba, one thing stands out
clearly, namely, that the government,
feeling strong IN its present position
and plan, is moving cautiously and
with the deliberation which it believes
will secure success unattended with
disasters. With this main purpose in
view, the army and navy are coop
Grating toward the dispatch of the
troops, some $4,000 in number, under
escort of strong fleet of naval con-
voys, made up of 16 warships, headed
by the battleship Indiana. Unattended
by this strong fleet the troops might
have left last Friday, when one strong
naval convoy was ready for this ser
vice. Since then, however, reports have
come as to the presence of Spanish
ships in the North Atlantic. Realizing
that nothing was to be gained by haste,
and that tine war was progressing
steadily toward success, it was deter
mined not to take the one small chance
of having our troop transports me
naced by some scouting ships of the
enemy.
As a result, the troop transports have
not proceeded to Cuba, either yesterday
or the day before, as has been repeat
eddy aScertained. They are in readi-
ness to do, but viii not move until the
naval convoy is ready to accompany
them, assuring safe conduct from Flor
ida to the point of destination. Whether
that will he today or tomorrow, the
war department declines positively to
say, and there IS authority for the
statement that any report purporting
to give the day or hour when this for
midable fleet of invasion viii start, is
not only unWarranted but meets with
the most vigorous official condemna-
ton. The administration feels that the
time has come when it is of the utmost
Importance that the precise movements
of the invading fleet should not be
published in this country and then her
aided to the enemy.
FLEET OF TRANSPORTS.
The completeness with which the
transport of the troops has been plan
ned is shown by the list of transport
ment today. OF this list, 81 large
steamships, varying from 4,100 tons
down to 600 tons, are at Florida ports
ready to carry our troops to the point
of invasion. There are some Ii other
craft, including vessels suitable Tor
conveying fresh water, stores, etc, and
for Tightening the troops and stores
from the ships to the beach, when the
debarkation begins. The entire trans
port fleet of about so steamships, aug
mented by the fleet of naval conveys,
16 in number will make a formidable
marine procession, exceeding in magni-
tude the notable spectacle ofahe naval
review during the Worlds fair year.

Ogden, June 10.-The board of edu-

night from o'clock until 2:30 this
morning, considering the election of the
superintendent to succeed Mr.. Allison.
The deadlock remained unbroken, and
at 2:30 the board adjourned for one
week. The members would not discuss
the balloting. It is learned, however,
that there are no new candidates bal
loted for, but the relative strength of
each was about as heretofore. Just
before adjournment the board voted
to have the school houses on the bench
taken care of during vacation under the
supervision of Scowcroft and Gideon,
those in the lower town under the su-
pervision of Ellis and Joyce, those

A VALUABLE LESSON
In the Matter of Harbor Defense Learned

the long contentious between the relative
merits of land Notifications and naval
ships as means of coast defense, have

When Admiral Sampson was chief of the
ordnance bureau of the navy department.
he held that the most effective means of
defending coasts was by means of war
ships rather than coast defenses. 1t is
said, however, that the Spanish defense
of Santiago harbor has demons trated that
coast defenses are even more effective
than warships. The batteries of Moro
Castle, Socapa and the others, aided by
the mining and torpedoing of the har-
Dor, was effective in preventing the
American fleet from entering the harbor,

AN OPPORTU NIFTY
Offered for Peace Negotiations Which
Neither Side Seems DESTROYS Of
Accepting.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-One of the
ablest members of the diplomatic corps in
Washington, the Ambassador of a CONT
mental power, suggested that if Spain or
the United States was DESTROYS of inaug-
urating peace movement, an easy and
effective means of so doing was now at
hand without recourse to any foreign
intermediary This, he pointed out, could
be done by the American and Spanish
generals al Sa1tiago who, during recent
days, have been brought into close COM
, rnunication concerning the details of the
surrender of Santiago The incident has
] served to show that General Toral was in
direct communication with Madrid, and
his action was responsive to the wish of
| the Madrid government. On the other
hand. it was pointed out, Gen. Shafter

| advice and instruction of the Washington
government. This, for the first time in
the war, brought the two governments
into direct communication, and while the
communication has thus far been confined
to Santiago, 1t has suggested that it az
fords the opportunity for much wider
range of inquiry between the two CAPT.
tails. If Madrid desires to take the initia-

way, but as one Offering the most practi-
cal means of direct communicat ton on
the subject of peace. Whether either gov
ernment will avail itself of the opportuni-

WASHINGTON, July 19.-The ordnance

quantity of arms, ammunition, fortifica-
ton guns and ordnance stores which have
come into the possession of this govern
ment through the surrender of Santiago.
Gen Shafter reports that about 7,0o0'Mau-
ser rifles were turned over the first day,
and the number will reach probably 10000
when the troops at other points in the
surrendered zone turn in their guns. The
reports made before the surrender indi

Spanish troops were not in vary good con-
dition. The guns were all right when
furnished, nut the poor care they receiv-
ed. principals from the volunteers, left
many of them rusty and defective. Ord
nance officials believe, however. thai
the greater part of the guns can be put in
first-class order. The Mauser has cali
Der of seven millimeters or .2s of an

ibre of .03 of an inch This difference
in calbre makes it impossible to use
American ammunition in the captured
guns. The surrender also covers a large

that when the guns are repaired there will

ing only what shall be done with the guns
if they are utilized by this government.
as 1t has nothing TO do with the larger
question concerning the ultimate return
of the guns to the Spanish troops. This
IS a general question of governmental
policy. but it appears to be pretty well
settled that the guns will not be returned
to the Spaniards. at least until the war
is over.
The ordnance officers expect to make
very little use of the old fertilization guns
mounted in MORO Castle, Socapa, Cayo
Smith and other forts along Santiago
harbor. These, it has developed since the
capture, are guns of antiuqated pattern.

they would not be worth bringing back to
the United States except souvenirs of
the fall of Santiago. For the present they
probably will be retained at the forts. for
since they have proved sufficiently effect

American fleet. they will suffice for the
present passive condition of affairs.

MARTINSBURG, w. Va, July IL.
Judge E. Boyd Faulkner to-day de-
cided the case of ex-senator Johnson
N. Camden VS.. w. S. Dewing in favor
of the plaintiff. The case was
brought here from Greenbrier coun-
tv. and involves the title of timber
land to the extent of 10000 acres in

counties. The land was conveyed to
Hutton & Butcher, but was claimed
to be owned in fact by w. S. DeWlng,

have acted. The court held that all
this land which had been so conveyed
to Hutton & Butcher, embracing what
is known as the Caperton survey, was
in fact held in trust by them for j.
N. Camden and his associates, and
Camden now being the sole owner,
is entitled to have the same conveyed
to him.
The case was referred to commits
sioner to ascertain the quantity OF
land, taxes and costs. The case was
argued by Wesley Mollaban, of Char
lesion, and Frank Woods, of Balti-
more, for the plaintiffs, and defended
by Judge w. T. Ice and e. d. Tai
