WILL ABANDON TAMPA.

Next Expedition to Sail From a Moro De-
kiFable Port.
WASHINGTON, June ID. - Arrange
ments for the second expedition of in.
vasion from the United States for the
West Indies are being hurried at the
war department.. There seems to be no
doubt that this expedition will be sent
from the east coast of the United
States. The experience in embarking
the first from Tampa has demonstrated
to the war department officials that
other ports where the railway and
other facilities are more adequate than
at Tampa are much more desirable
places for the concentration of troops
and their embarkation.

None Of the principals in the Letter
crisis are willing to discuss the causes
which led to his abdication and the
most plausible explanation that can be
offered at this time is therefore cir.
cumstantial and speculative. The first
indication of
Approaching Dissolution
in the Letter regime came when the
announcement was made that all his
cash and June wheat had been trans
ferred to Philip D. Armour and that
the September option, of which Letter
was heavy holder, had been trans
ferred to Lamson Bros. These reported
transactions gave rise to con lectures
that soon developed into panic. At
the outset it was rumored that Letter
was trying to get out of the market,
but the fact that Allen, Grier & Cellar
had transferred their trades to Lamson
Bros. instead of selling out directly
aroused the suspicion that Letter was
hard pressed and endeavoring to dis.
pose OF his immense holdings without
disclosing the causes of his
Sudden Withdrawal From the Pit
It is estimated that during the day
from 5000, 900 to 100000 bushels of
Letter wheat, optioned and visible,
were sold to the account of the young
Napoleon This is supposed to have
consisted chiefly of options in Septem-
ber, July and June wheat. 1t was
said on the floor that the bank ers of
the Northwest who have been carrying
the Northwestern bull clique refused
to carry their burden for longer time
and that calls had been made by North
western dealers, particularly the Min.
neapolis interests, for margins down to-
80 cents. These, it is said, were fol.
lowed by calls upon Letter to
Margin His Wheat Holdings u
down to 50 cents. Mr. Letter had
about 4, 4,OO0,O ,OCO bushels Of cash wheat
on hand, much of which he is said to
have disposed of at a loss. Later it
was reported that L. z. Letter, when
asked by his son for more money, had
refused to be drawn further into the
wheat deal and thus compelled the lat
ter to let go large line of his holdings
in order to satisfy his warehouse cred.
itors and marginal demands.
Mr.. Letters friends insist that he
has not made an assignment, but it
was admitted that the Letter interests
had been s'trusteed.'

WASHINGTON, June IA. The first

on its way, 80 transport ships, making
over 5000 officers and men. conveyed
by battleships, cruisers, gunboats and
auxiliary cruisers, Ii in number, hav-
ing actually sailed from Key West at
daybreak Monday morning. An au.
thoritative statement to this effect was
made at the war departm ent, setting
at rest all reports that the expedition
was on its way or had landed last
week. The authorities made the an.
nouncement for the reason that the
time for secrecy was now past, as
the scout boats had made sure that the
path was clear before it and that no
possible menace could come from the
Spanish Ships or Troops
even if they should know our forces
were advancing against them. With
the expedition off officials here feel
that there will be period of compara-
tive inaction for few days. By
Thursday at the latest the transports
will be off Santiago and large army
will make its landing on Cuban soil.
Sampson has cleared the way for this
undertaking and little danger is appre.
hended in getting ashore. It will be
after that, when the advalc CO is made,
that actual dramatic developments
may be expected. By that time it is
likely the American commanders will
be in direct cable communication with
the authorities here. Admiral Samp-
son has taken the shore end of the
cable landing at Guantanamo and a
force of cable experts are rapidly re.
storing the line to working order.

HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES.

The commencement exercises of the
Willmar High School, last Tuesday
evening, were attended by the custo-
mary large crowd which always
greets our graduates. Long before
the time for opening the program the
large court room was filed by the
friends and relatives of the class.
The usual appropriate decorations
we're observed and were tastily ar
ranged about the platform. The floral
decorations, intermingled with the
national colors and colors of the class
of '9S, made a pretty sight. Over
head was suspended the class motto,
"Perge Modo," in letters which were
plainly visible. The jury box was
occupied by members of the school
board and the faculty occupied prom
inent positions during the exercises.
The program opened about $3.50
with a professional march played by
Mrs. Blanche Hand, and from an
ad joining room came the teachers,
the members of the High School cho-
rus, and the graduates, marching to
positions assigned them in front. The
procession was led by two little girls,
Gladys Ziesemer and Gertrude Palm,
who were prettily dressed in the class
colors. The program throughout was
nicely rendered, and the singing as
<l- ,;%L
applause from the large audience.
We will not dwell at length on the
different addresses which were given
by the graduates, but suffice it to say
that they all showed careful prepara-
tion and study, and were delivered in
good manner. This part of the exer-
cises being completed, the presenta-
tion Of the class to the board of edu-
cation was neatly made by the super
intendent, Miss Fenno. The confer
ring of diplomas was then in order,
President Birch of the board fulfilling
that duty with a few appropriate re-
marks. Besides this another pleasant
duty was left to perform. the confer
ring of two scholarships for the best
class standing during the year, and
the awarding of the Wennerlund gold
medal. The former were awarded to
William A. Nord, being scholarships
from both the Hamline University and
Carleton College of North6eld. The
gold medal was awarded to Miss Han
nah Johnson, who by her faithful
work had made rapid progress in her
studies during the year. VIM. West
berg, member of the Sophomore
class, was close contestant for the
honors. A medal will be awarded
at the close Of each school year by
Mr.. Wennerlund as an encouragement
for good work from the pupils.
In closing We wish these pupils who
have been so successfully launched by
their alma mater pleasant career in
their voyage through life, and we
know that they can only look back to
the many happy days spent at school
with the fondest of recollections.
They now 20 to join their comrades
