Waiting for the Invasion.

NEW YORK, May pa dispatch to the
Times from Tampa, Fla, says: The army
here has grown to considerable proportions
during the last week. Within the military
district of Tampa there is now force Of
not less than $1,000 regulars and volunteers
1t is composed of about thirty regiments
as follows: Regulars at Tampa-One bril-
gade of light artillery Third, Sixth and
Ninth Cavalry; the First, Fourth Sixth
Seventh, Eighth, Tenth Thirteenth, Six
teenth, Seventeenth, Twenty-first, Twenty
Second, Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth In
fantry Regiments and three companies Of
engineers
At Lakeland are the first and Tenth Cav
airy.
The following volunteer regiments are
also in this district:
Three from Florida, the seventy-flrst New
York. Second Massachusetts, Third and
Fifth Ohio, Second Georgia and one each
from Wisconsin, Michigan and Iowa.
All OF the regulars and most of the vol
and ready for Immediate service Those that
are not equipped can be furnished with uni
forms and supplies at once. The Second
uniforms or guns. General Shafter said
there are sufficient supplies here and the
Georgia troops will, be fully equipped and
put in shape in a short while. A Michigan
regiment also came without rifles, but will
be furnished with arms Immediately.
General Shafter denied a report that the
transports at Port Tampa are not ready
and that it would take at least week to get
tier in condition for carrying, the troops.
He said that all of the eleven ships
which have been here for some time
are in complete readiness and that
the five or seven now on the way,
and which will arrive at the port
in a day or so, are thought to be fitted with
hunks and stalls. When the orders come
for the embarkation he said it will require
two or three days to get the troops, horses
and artillery aboard He still adheres to
his view that no movement will be made
until the Spanish fleet is disposed of. Asked
as to how many troops would probably be
taken to Cuba, General Sbafter said that
30 900 would surely be. He thought the first
expeditionary force would not aggregate
this number, but a considerable army would
be sent over to establish a basis and hold 1t
and await the coming of the volunteers
under General Lee and others. He said also
that he did not think the movement would
be delayed on account of the siege guns
He has received advices that forty-eigft of
these guns, together with 1000 men and
1900 horses have been ordered from Wash
ington but they have not yet begun to ar
rive. They would not be necessary Of course
in the commencement of the campaign, as
they are needed chiefly to take part in the
bombardment of Havana.

impetus has been given to activity In the
navy yards, and, 1t may be added, to home
defenses. Torpedoes have been laid at the
entrances of all the important harbors. The
new Ministry has determined to send out
at once what is known as the reserve squad
ron ron that Is to say the armored wv, war ship
Alfonso XIII, the torpedo boat destroyers
Audaz, Prosperina and Destructor, the dis
and the armed transatlantic liners, Joaquin
de Pielago, Alfonso XIII, Antonio Lopez,
Ciudad de Cadiz and Buenos Ayres. To the
above Will be added the Reina Regente,
which Is being armed in Ferrol and the
Leon XIII, which has already started from
Barcelona for Cadiz This fleet is likely to
it is going to Manila. Significant sugges-
tons are made as to the possibility of the
Pelayo getting through the Suez canal
understood that the Admiralty is not CIV
ing. their secrets away, and that the fleet
will sail under sealed orders, and that it is
quite as likely to go west east"
A dispatch to the World from Cadiz says:
1T is stated here very positively that the
steamers and two torpedo boats are about
to sail for the Philippines. The Pelayo is
well armed, armored and well manned.
The Carlos Y is well armored and manned
and has good guns, but her heavy ones for
ward will not swing, owing to defects in
the machinery. and can only be fired di-
rectly ahead. The captains of these boats
are good men and experienced, but Admiral
Camara is regarded by naval men as diff.
cult 10 Work WIN, giving OrQerS ana con-
tradicting them almost in the same breath
He is from Malaga. 1t is said here that
there are mines in Manila harbor that were
not exploded when the American fleet en-
tered, the electric communication being out
Of order. This has, so 1t is reported, now
been rectif1ed, and preparations are COM
plete to give Admiral Dewey warm good
bye should he attempt to leave. This ru-
NOR will bear big lump of salt
1T is reported that the Spanish fleet left
St. Vincent without instructions from the
government at Madrid, and that Admiral
Cervera wired: The state, of my country
compels me to go to meet the enemy The
captains of the ViZcaya, Almirante Oquendo
and the Maria Teresa are excellent COM
manders. These ships are all in good shape
and powerful, being heavily armored and
well handled. The Cristobal Colon has no
heavy guns and, therefore, is not formida-
BILE, but all four of them are of 1000 tons
each, and can steam twenty to twenty-one
knots. They are the ships our navy has
most to fear.
THE Spaniards are preparing the two
steamers, Normannia and Columbia now
the Rapido and Patria to take on heavy
guns. II they strengthen the ships prop
erly the work will require several months.
The cruiser Alfonso XIII will remain in
CadiZ as a guard ship, but as her boilers
are insufficient she cannot steam more than
six or seven knots, and, therefore, is not
of much use / feel certain there are at
Least fifty mines well laid in the Bay of
CadiZ."

sentation on this subject been addressed to
the United States government. AS a matter
of fact. Italy probably is the maritime
power of all others with which the United
States has had absolutely no corre-
spondence in the slightest degree connected
with the Cuban blockade. AS to the allega-
ton that the blockade is ineffective it is
said that on the contrary it has been sin
gularly successful. and that, so far as
known, not a single neutral ship subject to
detention has passed the lines without the
express consent of our government. The
Montserrat did, it is true, enter Cienfuegos
harbor before our blockading ships had had
time to get around the south side of Cuba
and establish the blockade, and she did
manage to get out at night. But she is a
Spanish ship, and Spain is perhaps the only
nation in the world that has lost the power
to enter a protest against blockade, being
a contestant herself 1t is only for neutral
powers to enter such protests, and none of
them has as yet the slightest pretext for
such action.
With the beginning Of the present week
all Spanish vessels in United States ports
which sailed after the outbreak of war, are
subject to seizure, as we'll as all Spanish
merchantmen found on the high seas, save
where they left port for the United States
before April q last. the Presidents procla-
nation of war allowed such ships lying in
our ports or bound for them thirty days
in which to discharge cargo, and also in
sured them safe passage home. That period
of time expired last Saturday night. This.
1t is expected, will tendSt free the State
Department from complications.

NEW YORK, May pa dispatch to the
Herald from Gibraltar says: 1.-The Gov
ernor here will not allow war vessels pass
ing the straits to be reported. The Span
iards are preparing what they call their
third squadron. which will consist of the
Princess De Asturias, of 1000 tons and with
a speed of twenty knots, now at Cadiz; the
Cardinal Cfsneros. at Ferrol, of the same
size and speed; the Lepanto at Carthagena
of 5000 tons and speed twenty knots, and
Numancia and the Vitoria, which is being
newly armored and engined. There are also
at Ferrol the torpedo gunboats Dona Maria
dc Molina. the Marques de la Victoria and
the Don Alvaro de Bazan. each of eight
nundred tons and twenty knots speed. IN
less the American government moves quick
ly, 1t will have the foregoing to contend
with, in addition to Admiral Cervera's and
Admiral Camara's squadrons. The latter is
expected to leave Cadiz within a few days
His destination is unknown, but is probably
the Antilles, notwithstanding that the news
papers say the Philippines.

TAMPA, Fla, May 23.-The Red Cross
ship, State of Texas, with Miss Clara Bar
ton, representative Of the National Red
Cross Society of America, and a corps of
surgeons and trained nurses arrived at Port
Tampa, from Key West, to-day and cast
anchor near the gunboat Helena. The vessel
which is fully fitted up for hospital purposes
and carries supplies enough for the equip
ment of several Red Cross stations will, it
is said follow the fleet of the ships into Gu
ban waters. In speaking of the Red Cross
work in Cuba Miss Barton said to-day that
she had received assurances from the high
est Spanish official sources that her hospital
at Serro and her headquarters were being
carefully guarded and that the Red Cross
supplies left there were being put to their
intended uses.
In the hospital at Serro, where sixty chill
dren were being cared for when Miss Bar
ton left the island, there were 100 chill
dren receiving medical attention. General
Blanco himself belongs to the Red Cross
Society of Spain said Miss Barton, "and

Cuba will not be interfered with Miss

DECATUR, Ind, May 23.-The Repub-
lican congressional convention OF the INghth
district meets in this city tomorrow. Ev-
erything is ready for the fray and candi-
dates heading large delegations OF rooteTs
are arriving this evening. There are five
candidates-George CrorHer, of Muncie:
Horace .Stillwell and Isaac Watts, of Mad
ison county; A. o. Marsh, of winchester.
and A. L. Sharpe, of Bluffton. Adams, Jay
and Blackford counties have no candidates.
The outlook is that the convention will be
long and tedious and many ballots taken.
The main fight, it is believed here, will be
between Cromer and Marsh, and 1t Is
thought deadlock will result and a possi-
BILE dark horse is much talked of with De-
catur to furnish the horse If possible.
A dispatch from Hartford City says: In
no other county in the Eighth district has
the congressional canvass been as active as
in Blackford. 1t is the prevailing opinion
here that if George Cromer, OF Muncie,
does not secure the nomination Dr. Sharpe
will be the successful man. The different
counties will be entitled to representation
in the convention as follows: Adams,
II; Blackboard IA; Delaware, AZ; Jay,
q; Madison, 56; Randolph, 81; Wells.

leans that while. Judge A. o. Marsh, OF
Winchester, is undoubtedly a strong man,
Randolph county has furnished the COM
gresham in the old district for fourteen
successive years and that some other coun-

ELEVENTH DISTRICT.
Looks Very Much Like Easy victory
for Major Steele.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
LOGANSPORT, Ind, May 23-The clans
are assembling tonight for the Eleventh
district Republican congressional conven-
ton, which meets in this city tomorrow.
Much interest centers in the contest, all
though the result does not seem to be in
doubt. There are 142 delegates in the con-
ventten and it will take seventy-two to
nominate. The friends of Major Steele claim
the solid vote OF his own county, thirty-nine,
together with eighteen in Howard county.
seventeen in Huntington county, eight in
Miami county and eleven in Wabash coun-
ty, since the retirement of Cowgirl. Theses
figures give Steele total of ninety-three
votes, twenty-one more than are needed for
his denomination. The Statesman forces at
Peru are somewhat demoralized. There is a
division Of the vote in the county outside OF
Peru and two contesting delegations from
the city of Peru Cass county will support
the candidacy of Judge d. b. Mcconnell
and his friends in the county claim to nave
encouragement from all over the district
They claim twenty-five from Cass, twenty
two from Wabash, ten from Huntington,
four from Howard, eight from Miami and
five from Grant, total of seventy-one, or
half of the entire district. A careful investi-
cation of the situation does not sustain
these figures, and 1t is probable that Major
Steele will be renominated on the first ball
lot.

Friends Opposed to war.

NEW YORK, May 23.-The Friends. at
their annual meeting in this city, in keep
ing with their old-time IDEAS protested
against the war now going oh between the
United States and Spain. In accordance
with custom of many years standing re-
ports from other yearly meetings of Friends
in various sections of the country were read.
The representatives are known as 'apos-
ties" Epistles We're read to-day from Phil
adelphia, Baltimore and Genesee. The
epistle from Philadelphia contains the ex-
pressed desire that Friends should uphold
their testimony against war. Regret was
also voiced in the epistle that the end of
the nineteenth century should be blotted by
the spectacle of two Christian nations war
ring against one another. The Baltimore
epistle expressed similar sentiments. The
Genesee epistle, which represents the sem
timents of the Friends of western New
York, contained the expressed belief that it
was false patriotism which caused Amer
leans to exalt their own country and de-
preciate another country.

A WAR OF HUMANITY.
How the HispanO-American Trouble
Is Viewed I'm China.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, May 23.-The crisis between
the United States and Spain is arousing
exceptional interest in the great cities in
China. Hong-Kong, Shanghai and TEN
Tsin, being the foremost commercial GEN.
tiers, are much aroused. There is prac-
tical unanimity of feeling on the part of
leading Chinese, British and American resi-
dents. All seem to unite in the belief that
1t is holy war-a war of humanity 1t is
understood, however, that since the visit Of
Prince Henry of Prussia the Germans have
expressed themselves as decidedly in SYM
pathy with Spain.
The attitude of China is voiced by the
North China Daily News, which says, edi-
torially: There is a popular belief, found
ed on experience, that the hour will dis
cover the man. 1t is very satisfactory to
know that so far President Mckinley has
admirably undergone the ordeal. He has
not been hurried by the jingoeS, nor has he
allowed himself to be controlled by the
peace-at-any-price capitalists afraid of a
fall in stocks and possible suspension of
gold shipments. His course throughout the
dispute with Spain has been calm, temperate
and dignifed. Throughout he has borne
himself as the chief magistrate of a great
nation and he goes to the war with the
sympathy of the British all over the world
and with the approval of practically the
whole people OF the United States, North

WASHINGTON, May 23.-Industrious can
vassing is going on over adjournment proba-
biiities. Speaker Reed wants to get away
as soon as possible. his great influence is
being exerted to hurry forward business.
The House, as usual, is ahead of the Senate,
but the latter body will not be expedited.
1t goes placidly along legislating in it's own
way regardless of Reed, the House and the
rest Of the world. Speculation as to the date
OF adjournment ranges from June % to
August /. The Hawaiian annexation resolu-
ton reported by the commitS0e on foreign
affairs will have a hearing this week, a
Reed to give a day for it's consideration.
The sugar trust is on the ground with it's
lobby to antagonize annexation. but this
opposition has ceased to be formidable.
