ton.
Ihere was report current this after
noon that troops were actually embarkine
'ouay pound Tor Santiago, but it was i'm
possible to obtain confirmation of the re-
port at the War Department. General
Miles, who spent most of the day at the
war Department, part of the time in con-
ference with General Collazo and Colonel
hernandez of General Garcia's staff said
this afternoon that the troops gathered at
Tampa had been ready to move for some
time and only awaited news of the location
of the Spanish fleet.
Now that such news has been received
the troops would move at once He de-
clined to say where they were going and
refused to answer direct inquiries as 10
whether the first expedition would be to
Santiago, Havana or San Juan, or whe. her
Simultaneous movements would be made
against each of the places named He said
that some OF the well-seascned regiments
at Chickamauga would be transferred to
starting for the West Indies, but that
none of the regiments now camped at Falls
Church was yet in condition for active
field service.
Although Gen. Miles would not say So
there is good reason for the belief that he
and his staff will start for Tampa this
evening.
The question Of sending additional volun-
teer regiments in the east to the Philip
pines is still under consideration. but no
conclusion has yet been reached
Among the regiments which have been
rendered for this service is the 1st District
OF Columbia Volunteer Infantry, COM
manded by Col. Harries, and the list New
York Volunteers, commanded by Col
Greene. These are regarded as two of the
most efficient organizations now available,
and 1t is not at all improbable that they
may eventually be sent to the relief of Ad-
miral Dewey at Manila

Coal Passers, Firemen and Trimmer
Refuse to Work.
NEW YORK, May 3O.-There is every
likelihood that the auxiliary cruiser St
Louis will not be able tosput to sea today
because 800 coal passers, firemel and trim
mers have gone on strike. The strike
actually began on Saturday after the ST.,
Louis had been berthed at the American
line pier. The men were refused shore
leave at the umes 1t is alleged, and a de-
mand for wages was rut off until today
on promises made by the officials that pay
ment would be forthcoming this morning
Shortly before noon today the strikers
held a meeting at the pier and decided not
to go on board unless the regular monthly
wages were Forthcoming. The strikers con-
tend that their cruise terminated on Satur-
day, when the ship made port, and conse-
quently that they are entitled to their
wages. They charge that they were treat
ed harshly in the stokeholes by their su-
periors. who used to resort ste unheard of
methods, they allege, in forcing them while
in southern waters to work harder.
AT noon. when the whistle calling the
men to their quarters was blown on the
st. Louis the strikers did not respond. Un-
less the difficulty is satisfactorily adjust
ed the st. Louis cannot put to sea today.

and they frequently interrupted him with
most enthusiastic applause.

deliver the annual address here. Neverthe-
less his magnificent effort has placed him
in the front rank of the great orators who
have visited Gettysburg In the past. His
references to President Mckinley, to Cuba
and TO the obliteration of sectional lines
and the reunion of the soldiers who wore
the blue and gray caused a sensation, and
for several minutes he could not proceed
because of the enthusiasm of the people

EXTENDING THE BLOCKADE.

Cienfuegos on the south coast was blockadcd
Now the whole coast from Cape Frances TO
Cane Cruz IS included There Is no port west
Of Cane Frances and the two ports east OF Cape
Cruz-namelv Santiago and Guantanamo-are
already provided for. SO the entire south coast

the other Spanish cities and towns will be de-
prived Of the provisions they have been getting
from Jamaica and elsewhere through southern
ports They are now in a more than halffam-
ished state. They will soon begin TO realize by
personal experience to what sort OF rate ther
favorite Spanish Butcher doomed hundreds Of
thousands of Cubans Perhaps they VIII real
ize that n state of war does exist and thar they
are getting the worse part Of IT.
There is little doubt that the blockade Will be
made effective We have ships enough for 1t.
The patrol feet can safely be withdrawn. or
largely withdrawn, from the Atlantic Coast
now that all fear Of Spanish raids is past Inc
vessels that have been engaged In That work
are exactly suited to the blockade work, being
of light draught and high speed, and sufficient

source of anxiety now Hes in the fact that the
hurricane season is at hand. But we have one
fine harbor Of refuge on that coast. and will
probably soon have some more. Our warships
can certainly stand the storms as well as the
would be blockaderunners. San Juan, Porto
Rico. is also included in the blockade and Is
likely presently to be captured and transformed
into an American harbor.
This aggressive policy Is 10 be most heartily
commended War Is not n thing for half meas

with all possible vigor Aggression is It's per-
manent order OF the day. II was well said
that n ships best defence against the enemy s

Boston more secure from Spanish attack than
an American bombardment Of Cadiz and Car

such q policy at the outset. The time has come
