er portion of his troops, including all
the regulars and n few Of the most eff
clent volunteer regiments on board the
transports gathered at that place and
the aggressive military movement
which has been so frequently predict

fact before the end of this week.
The strongest units of Admiral Samp-

Simultaneously the most rigid CEN
sorship of press dispatches that has so
far been undertaken by the govern
ment Will be put in operation at Tampa
and Key West tonight and no message
relating to the movements of troops or
ships or in any way specializing upon
the expedition, will be permitted on
the wires. If this means of preventing
publication of information which
should be exceedingly valuable to
Spain is not fully successful the cen
sorship will be promptly extended to
the mails.
1t can be confidently asserted thar

secretary of the navy, the president
will permit no civilian to enjoy his

Lecturers and other public ent

being too attentive? The story is
that not long ago a well-known no
list delivered lecture in New Jers,y
town. After the lecture, when the peo-
pie met, they talked about the affair,
as was their wont.
Were you at the Lecturer one
would ask another, and in every case
the answer was:
ooh, yes, 1 was there, but l couldn't
hear word. Did you hear it?"
We'll, no; l was there, but couldn't
hear, either"
No one could be found who had
heard a word. About this time an ac-
quaintance of the novelist heard from
friends in the place this account Of
the matter, and meeting the lecturer,
asked him what kind of an audience
he had had there, and how he liked
the place.
Its a fine place." said the novelist,

known until yesterday morning, when
Captain Sigsbee of the st. Paul, who
has been cruising off the harbor for
the past week, steamed close enough
to distinctly see two cruisers of the
Vizcaya class and two torpedo boats
lying just inside the mouth of the
harbor. 1t is believed that the rest of
Cervera's squadron is also there.
The st. has been watching Santiago
for eight days. Sigsbee thinks that
two Spanish torpedo boats ventured
out of the harbor Saturday night to
attack the st. Paul, but, anticipating
such amove, he changed his position
every night in order that they could
not locate him.
Today Commodore Schley took a
position with the entire squadron to
prevent the escape of Cervera. BE
hopes the dons will come out and fight.
The opposing fleets are about equal in
strength.
1t is probable Admiral Cervera will
remain inside and postpone an en-
gagement indefinitely, but the block
ade will be effectively maintained.

United States Camp, near Mobile,
Ala, May 20.-Dight is beginning to
break through the clouds, which have
cast a shadow on the Texas volunteers
ever since the time of tneir enlistment,
Their troubles brought about by lack
eff proper equipment We're ameliorated
to some extent by the blankets and
ponchos which were issued late Sat
urday evening, together with some leg
glngs. The boys had been told Sat
urday night that they would be equip
ped and as a result they We're on the
qul vive of expectancy all during
Saturday.
Nothing happened, however, until 6
o'clock yesterday evening, when the
boxes containing the big gray blankets
We're opened up at headquarters and
their contents distributed among the
details which had been sent by their
respective companies for the purpose
of carrying the goods to the quarters.
For some reason or other the com
plete equipment of legglngs was not
issued, only a few pairs being given
to each company. The men went
ahead on the hypothesis that half
loaf Is better than no bread, however,
and thankfully received what was
given them. At the quarters of each
company commander where the newly
received goods We're temporarily stored
groups of the volunteers gathered and
eagerly discussed the probability of
other equipments being issued them.
Much to the disappointment of many
of the men the articles they need more
than anything else, shoes, were not is
sued Saturday night.
They have been sent out to camp
however, and it is expected that the
volunteers will be furnished with them
today. None of the uniforms have
reached the camp as yet and it is not
known when they will be issued.
The Alabama regiment was partially
equipped Saturday and are, in conse-
quence, happy, especially from the fact
that they We're able to get ahead of
the Texans. They have been mustered
in but few days and the Texas troops
have been in the service for three
weeks; but these facts seem to have
but little, If any influence with the
powers that be in the present instance.
Another thing that the Alabamlans
did Saturday was to petition Colonel
Mabry to allow their morning drill to
be changed from to 10 to to s. They
point out the fact that there is an al
most lncalculablc amount of benefit to

they are at leisure themselves. SO far
no action has been taken in the mat
ter, but inasmuoh as the request is
rather creditable than otherwise it is
likely that it will be granted.

The readers of the News and Courier are
familiar with the dangers and hardships
of that trip through the Spanish lines.
The results Of that trip, which he mod
estly dismisses with a dozen words were
thought by Rear Admiral Sampson to be
worthy of special mention and praise. And

every step he did not forget TO preserve
a souvenir "a leaf from behind the Span

how that fond mothers heart would treas

Tallahassee, Fla, June 25.-Parties IN
dertook to build railroad from ITALIA
hassee to Gainesville some years ago. AT
ter working several months. spending
large sums of money, and laying a few
miles Of track. the project was abandoned
for lack Of funds.
Early in the present year a franchise
Of this route fell into the hands of the
Florida Construction Company by pur-
chase. About three months ago the name
of the road was changed to the Tallahas-
see Southeastern, contracts let for cross
ties, and few men put to work on the
road bed. Three hundred men are now
cutting cross-ties and two hundred and
eighty are al work on the line of the road.
An engine and eight fiat cars came for this
new company a few days ago, and were
taken out TO the end of the track laid by
the former company. Thirty miles of iron
has also arrived. The road bed is graded
newly to Perry, Taylor county. Bridge
contractors viii begin operations next
week and track laying will be resumed
July !, and continued with all possible
speed.
f. f. McGarry of Grand Rapids, is
president and r. l.. Bennett of Tallanas-
see, vice president, and general manager,
of the new company, and they last week
bought a number of freight cars, three
locomotives, and 1853 miles of rails, which
will be put on the road bed as fast as re-
ceived. This company is building through
a section which has long been regarded
by observing business men as affording
one of the best openings in the South for
a railroad. For nearly its whole length
the road will traverse a fine timber coun-
try which has never been invaded by lum-
bermen. 1t will also touch several large
deposits of excellent phosphate, which
could not be developed for lack of trans
portatlon. The completion of this lew
road wii1sform an important link in the
railroad system of Florida and be of i'm
