Spanish Spies at Work.

Key West, Fla, May "a SER
ge.nt Of artillery on dnty at a mortar
battery near Fort Taylor was fred UPON
early this morning by three aaknown
meu. whom be says be knows te be
sSpaniards. The FIRE was promptly re-
turned, but the men escaped. The af.
fair, which is involved in good deal
of mystery began yesterday afternoon.
when three swartby men made an ST.
tempt to enter the gate Of the reserva-
tieu, but were summarily turned off by
the sentry. No further attention was
given the incident until last night,
when between 10 and II O'Clock the
sergeant Of the artillery guard. near the
mortar battery. discovered the figures
of three men few yards ahead Of bin.
Almost simultaneously with tbe discov-
cry they opeued FIRE upon him with pis-
tolls. Three bullets whizzed harmless
~ past the sergeant, bet q fourth
lodged in the Aeshy part of his left arn.
lust above the elbow. The sergeant
dropped his raised rife, and, as be did
90. and before he could raise his rifle
again, the mon turned aud fed out Of
range He sent several shots after
them and then went for the guard.
A sharp lookout vas kept for the
strangers, and. soon after midnight, a
suspicious noise was heard outside the
gate near which the mortar battery is
located An investigation resulted in
the discovery of carriage in the street
lust outside the gate. The sergeant
gave orders to fire and volley wss
sent at the vehicle. A moment later.
it appears, three men were seen ruo-
ming up the street aud the Ere of the
soldiers was directed upon them, but
without effect, the suspects escaping
apparently unbarmed.
The sergeant declares that on the oc-
casiou of the first visit of the strangers
ope of the latter carried suspicious
looking package about three fee: long

Is part of the secret campaign plans
Of the government Back of this
force are other available regiments at
Mobile, New Orleans and other
points easily accessible to Tampa.
Still further back is the large vo'un-
teer camp at Ctickamagua, compris-
ing about 10000 infantry volunteers,
1000 cavalry volunteers and three
regiments of artillery volunteers 1t
is understood to be the plan-al-
though as to this there is no precise
official statement-to have the troops
at Chickamauga take the place of
those at Florida ports as fast as the
latter leave fer active service, thus
keeping a large force always ready
for embarkation from Florida. Aside
from troops already specified, there
are $4,000 men at Camp Alger, near
Washington, and lesser bodies of
troops or Long Island and in various
States. The $4,000 volunteers under
the recently issued second call con-
stiute still another reserve, which,
however, is yet to be organized and
equipped.
Gen. Shafter will be in immediate
command of the forces now embark
ing. while Gen. Miles will have gen.
eral supervision Of those and all other
military movements.

Practical Lesson
on Money Question.
The Government Buys up
Many Mexican Dollars.

New York, May q The Press
says: One of the most interesting
features of the out6tting of the Manila
expedition has been announced. The
government has purchased 25o.00
Mexican silver dollars, which Gen.
Merritt will take along TO defray the
expenses of the expedition This
amount is not expected to last long,
but more will be sent him from time
to time. By purchasing Mexican
dollars a great saving is made It
is possible to obtain Mexican dollars
at As cents each. thus obtaining for
one American dollar two Mexican
ones and leaving 8 cents over toward
the purchase Of a third In other
words Uncle Sam was able to buy
100000 Mexican dollars for $1l6,-
600. They were bought in San
Francisco.
In the Philippines Mexican dollar
will buy more than an American dol
lar, so that the expenses of General
Merritt's expedition after 1t once
lands in Manila will be less than one
half what it would otherwise be-. As
to the soldiers they will fare excel
lently under this arrangement for they
will, of course, be paid according to
law in American money.
The paymaster will give each sold
Ter two Mexican dollars for every
American dollar due him on pay day.
Eight thousand cork helmets have
been sent from the Philadelphia depot
to San francisco. They are for the
Philippine expedition The depot
quartermaster here opened bids for
10000 additional helmets. The he'll
NETS are to be made of cork, which
renders them light and water proof.
The firm of Charles Levy & Sons was
the lowest bidder, Offering to furnish
the 10000 at $1.25 a piece and de-
liver them at the rate Of 4 600 week.
The contract will be awarded to this
firm if the quartermaster does not
succeed in making cheaper arrange
ments with Chinese firm in Hong
Kong. The quartermaster general
has cabled to this Chinese firm and
expects an answer at once If they.
have the helmets there, they can
of course furnish them much cheaper
and without the trouble and delay of
long transportation The Chinese
helmets are hade of pith, a woody.
substance, good substitute for cork.
In connection with General Merritt
taking large quantity of money
along with him to Manila it is inter-
esting to note that he will be quite
removed there from official supervi-
sion. His chief quartermaster will
be practically quartermaster general
and the same will be true as 20 his
chief commissary.
