WASHINGTON, June II After
careful consideration, the President
and his advisers have decided to
postpone the main Cuban invasion
and the attack on Havana until af-
ter the rainy season. The danger
from disease that the army would
have to encounter if it should in
wade Cuba during summer would be
very great, and the President has
come to tho conclusion that it would
| be useless waste of human life to
send the American troops into Cuba
/ before fall.
1t is not the intention, however
to let the fearful suffering of the Gu.
bans continue for any length of
time. In the very near future the
United States will seize some place
on the northern coast Of Cuba and
form a junction with the army OF
Gen. Gomez. Through this channel
Of communication the Government
will supply the starving Cuban'
with abundance of food.
While Maj. Gen. Miles was in the
South he was in constant communi
cation with Gen. Garcia. The insur.
gent General was informed that the
American army would be sent tC
Santiago and that his troops would
be plentifully supplied by the Uni.
ted States with food, clothing and
munitions of war.
! By forming a junction with Gen
Gomez it will be possible for the
! United States Government to re
lieve the sufferings of the Cubans in
all parts of the island. Gen. Garcia
will distribute food in his section o
Cuba and Gen. Gomez in his terri
tory.

NEWS AND COMMENT.
WAR NEWS SUMMARY.
Friday, June 1S.

The blockade Of Havana was prac-
tically abandoned by the withdrawal
of eighteen warships to convoy the
invading army, for fear of phantom
ship. Havana is known to have food
supplies, in all probability by block
ade runners.
Rear Admiral Dewey reports from
Cavite, under date of June u, that
the insurgents bave practically sur
rounded Manila and have taken $500
Spanish prisoners. They do not in
tend to take the city at present. Re-
fugees occupy twelve merchant ves-
sells in the bay by Dewey's permis-
sion. They are guarded by neutral
men, n-of-war, seven being in the har-
Dor. Capt. Gen. AugustI favors sur
rendering, but has been overruled.
The Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations agreed to a favorable re-
port on the resolution for annexing
Hawaii, the resolution having al
ready passed the House.
A resolution was introduced in
Congress transferring Lieut.. Hobson
to the line, with the rank of Lieu
tenant Commander, and extending
the thanks of Congress to officer and
crew.
The Spanish account of the bonn
bardment of Santiago batteries
Thursday says that it resulted in the
disabling of guns at Socapa battery
and in Moro Castle, and that ten
Spaniards were killed and three men
were wounded. AS usual, the Span
iards claim to have damaged our
fleet, which in fact was uninjured.
A dispatch from Manila, via Hong
Kong, says that the Spanish Gener-
al August has resigned because a
war council rejected his advice to
surrender to Admiral Dewey.

SaInrdAY.

Santiago and Guantanamo were
the scenes of hot skirmishes, during
which the Spaniards suffered con-
siderably, while no damage was
done to the Americans, entering the
harbor, which was answered by five
guns from the Governor of the Mole.
Advices from Honolulu, Hawaii,
say that the United States trans
port City of Pekin, City of Sydney
and Australia, en- route to Manila
with troops for Dewey, arrived at
that place June l, and left on June 4.
AS soon as the three vessels were
sighted, all Honolulu turned out to
welcome the soldiers. The docks
were lined with people, and as the
vessels entered the harbor the spec
tators yelled themselves hoarse.
Such scene of enthusiums had
never been witnessed in Honolulu
as when the vessels docked. Presi-
dent Dole and his Cabinet received
the officers of the expedition, aad
the soldiers were given a royal wei

Private orders Gems Miles and Shat-
ter to Stop Smoking.
Smoking is prohibited on the
wharf where the transports are, and
signs in English and Spanish are
posted to that effect. Private T. w.
Smelling, of Company G. First Illi-
nois, was on guard there yesterday
when he saw a rotund man in full
uniform walking and conyersing
with a gray-haired, straight, sol
dierly-looking gentleman, dressed
plainly in black, and wearing a
straw hat. Both were smoking
and continued to do so till their
path was barred by a Springfield
rifle.
You must stop smoking, gentle
men," said Smelling. Just then he
caught sight of Major Generals
insignia on the shoulder of one

sideratiOn by changing it so as to
give Mr. Frierson the unqualified
endorsement of the county.
Pending action upon this amend.
ment, Mr.. Frierson. who was in at
tendance, was asked to address the
delegates. He said he was born and
raised in Maury county, his an
cestors being among the first to set
tie here, and no spot on earth was
nearer and dearer to him. He had
had considerable experience with
the railroads as cotton commission
merchant and in other business
relations, thereby gaining valuable
information that could be put to use
in the capacity of railroad COM
missioner. Before the war he
moved to New Orleans, and when
duty called him to arms he returned
to his native home and enlisted as
a private in the Confederate army.
He thought that Maury county
ought to give him her unqualified
endorsement, and anything short of
that would make him feel very
much hurt.
A great deal of discussion and ex-
citement then followed, eliminating
in a fisticuff between w. j. Web
ster, Esq and DR.. G. A. Forgey.
Finally, when the white winged
angel of peace had spread its
pinions over the turbulent assem-
blage, vote was called on Mr.. Cor
don's amendment, and the amend
ment was adopted. The resolution
as amended then passed.
After recommending Mr.. Il. H.
Hatcher for Maury county's COM
mitteeman on Platform and Resolu-
tions, and J. w. Fry for committee
man on Credentials, the meeting
adjourned.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 1.-THE
First Tennessee Regiment, U. S. w.,
reached San Francisco this morning.
This regiment, the first to come
West from the Southern States,
spent last night on the Oakland
Mole, and came over to the city on
one of the first boats this morning.
The regiment numbers ,209 men and
officers, and are as able bodied a
body OF men as has been seen, but
they are poorly equipped. Many of
the officers are eX-Confederates or
the sons of distinguished COnfeder-
ate fighters.
When the Tennesseans reached
this side Of the bay the Red Cross
Society received them, as it has
every visiting regiment that reached
here. The visitors were given a
hearty meal, and che usual bouquets
of California flowers. After short
rest, the men were assembled and
the march to Camp Merritt was re-
sumed. Their coming had been
well advertised and great crowds
gathered along the line of march to
see the SOutherners. The soldiers
were given a great reception, and
marching to the music of their own
band, fought their wav through i'm
mense crowds to Camp Merritt,
where they went into camp on the
site recently deserted by the regi.
ment from Colorado, which sailed
for Manila on Wednesday, and thus
for the first time in the history Of
this city the armies of the blue anc
gray are under one commander ano
upholding the honor of the same
