commenced at the various pens around
Nephi. About 80 Icelanders from Span
ish Fork begun work at the Wright
pens. three miles west of town, today.
On the summit between here and Foun-
tain Green, large number of shearers

severe winter would make the wool Gin
small was unfounded and wool men say
that the clip viii be unusually large.

told-had reported TO General Brooke, in
command OF the Chickamauga army. The

CLOSE WATCH on NEWS.
Efforts to Keep Plans from Enemy
wheeler Takes Command.

TAMPA, May T.-Every newspaper cor
respondent at Tampa, has been officially
notified that in future no mention must
be made of any small expeditions SINH
lar TO that OF the Gussie last week, until
the success OF the expedition has been
assured by the return of the boat. Army
officers are much chagrined over the
failure to place the sorely-needed arms
ammunition, and supplies with which the
Gussie was stored into the hands of the
insurgents. They believe that had not
such wide publicity been given to the
affair. the chances for success would
have been much greater 1t had been ar
ranged by Captain Dorst that the insur-
gents should meet the expedition and
take care of the supplies, but the fact
that the news Of the contemplated de-
parture OF the Gussie was published al
most twelve hours before the hour fixed
for leaving was undoubtedly communi-
Gated to General Blanco at once, and
enabled him to establish an effectual
patrol of the coast.
The correspondents have also been
notified that the paper publishing any
such story before it is permissible to do
so will be debarred from sending any
representative into Cuba. The intention
Is 10 hereafter keep a close watch on
news sent out regarding movements of
troops or ships from Tampa. and TO en-
deavor to follow out the policy Of the
government in keeping from the Spanish
Government any news whatever that
would help them to Illustrate any plans
for such movements.
NAIL FOR MILES.
Large quantities of mail have arrived,

tablish his headquarters in Tampa until

GENERAL LEE And PREEHASONRY.

VIII Apply Regularly.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., May n.-(Spe-
ciai)-The application for the appoint
ment OF Adjutant-General Male, of Vir-
sinla, as one Of the brigadiers under the
call for $4,000 volunteers, is still before
the President.
There are still four major-generals and
nine brigadiers to be appointed, to COM
plete the number OF general officers for
the volunteer army. 1t is, therefore, be-
lieved that General Male stands a bare
chance of being appointed to the COM
mand of brigade. This belief is
strengthened by the arrival here to-day
OF Colonel Baker, of the Second Virginia
Regiment, from Richmond, bearing the
unanimous endorsement of General Male
by all the Virginia regimental and COM
pany officers now at Richmond, for APP
pointment as brigadier.
Colonel Baker had a long interview with
Senator Martin and members of the Vlr-
ginia delegation in the House with refer
ence TO General Males appointment. Sen
ator Daniel is constantly engaged in the
meetings of the Senate Finance Commit
tee, which has under consideration the
NdI-I0Ntnue Dill. II Is agreed, however,
that the Virginia Senators and Represen-
tatives will call at the White House to-
morrow. and lay before the President the
paper brought to-day by Colonel Baker,
embodying tile endorsation of all the Off
GERS of the Virginia regiments in behalf
OF General Male, and they have some
hope that this appeal will be successful.
1t has been understood in Masonic cir
cles mere that Judge r. r. w. Duke. Jr..
Grand Master of Masons in Virginia,
would make General Fitzhugh Lee Ma
son at sight. on the eve of the Generals
departure for Cuba. IL is known that
General Lee has for many years been
eager TO be a Mason. but his busy life
has prevented him from giving the matter
attention. When he was in Richmond in
December, 1896, on leave from Cuba, the
papers were full Of gossip about a plan
TO make him at sight" that is 20 say,
for the Grand Master to communicate the
three degrees 10 him without the usual
ordeals. But that plan fell through.
General Lee said while here last week
that he was still DESTROYS of being
Mason, but that he thought he should
go through I'm the regular way, as all
members Of the fraternity in Virginia
had done. He concluded to wait, there
fore. so it is said, until the war ends,
when he will apply and be regularly ini-
dated.

To lombard city is one thing, TO shell
the fortifications OF an enemy and de-
stroy them Is another. and there is a vast
difference between the two both in fact
and in public law. Notice must be given
OF an intention TO lombard in order that
the lives and interests Of neutral resi-
dents may be safeguarded. Such notice
is also accompanied by a call to surren-
der. An attack on the enemy's fortifica~
tons calls for no such notice. Their very
existence invites hostilities. This is i'm
portant oremember in relation to the
operations against San Juan. The FORTH
cations are situated at the mouth OF the
bay on narrow tongue or land. over
the hills lies the city. beyond reach or the
guns at firing distance from the forts. A
small amount OF private property may
be contiguous TO the fortihcations and ex-
posed to damage. At Matanzas the city
lies four miles away from the fortiftca-
tions on shore which were recently shell
ed, so that there was no justification Tor

General Bianco advised the Spanish Gov
eminent at Madrid.

CHAMBERLAIN's SPEECH, AGAIN.
The Suggested Anglo-American AL
linnce-Wei-Hai-We

LONDON, May 17.-In the House Of
Lords to-day. the Liberal leader, the
Earl Of Kimberley, in questioning the
government as to it's intention in regard
TO Wei-Hai-Wei referred to the recent
speech Of the Secretary OF State for the
Colonies Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, say
ing the alliance mentioned by the latter
could only nave been an alliance tor
mutual defence against Russia, and ask
ed IL the matter was so far advanced
THAT we may soon hear of great alli-
ance with a European PowerY He ex-
plained that he could not conceive OF an
alliance with the United States, because
II would be contrary 10 the policy the
latter has always pursued, adding that
unless the government had made such
annroaches in the direction of an alliance
that ere long the House might hear of
its conclusion, nothing was more hkeiy
TO prevent its conclusion than Mr.. Cham
berlain's speech.
The Marquis OF Salisbury, in reply, de-
clined TO discuss Mr.. Chamberlain
speech. on the plea that he did not have
1t in his hands.
Referring to Wei-Hai-Wei, the Premier
declared that port had been occupied ito
