Tt Is gratifying to note that indictments

several persons who have recently been
trying to prove in the courts that Jay

ably exploited by the Sensational newspa-

A few days ago the Augusta Chronicle
printed this interesting editorial para

ing written by the photographers about
William Jennings Bryan not having enlist
ed. For Mr.. Bryan to have done any such
thing would have been plain grand stand
play, and he is above such trivial tactics"
The Chronicle win observe from the AS

The New rendezvous.

Gen. Shafter has announced that TIE
movement on Cuba win be delayed until
the Spanish fleet is crippled or destroyed.
II would be a great mistake to throw an
army into Cuba as long as that fleet has
the freedom of the Gulf or the Caribbean
sea. How long it will be before this OBJ
stacle to the invasion of Cuba will be
removed is a matter of speculation. The
ships of the Spanish squadron are fast
sailers, and it may be quite a time before
our slower warships can come in contact
with 1t. Still. the Spanish squadron cam
not stay at sea very long, because IL
hasn't the necessary coal to do so, and 1t
is finding it himcult TO get coal on this
side of the ocean.
Preparations for the invasion, however,
will be continued with undated vIgor.
The announcement was made in our dis
patches day or two ago that no more
troops would be sent to Tampa. The limit
of the water supply of that place has been
reached. 1t is probable, however. that
when tho invading fleet leaves our shores
it will start from Port Tampa, although
there are reports of purpose to make
Miami, on the eastern coast. a point of
departure for some of the troops.
Lakeland, about thirty miles from
Tampa, has been chosen as an encamp-
ment for soldiers intended for the Cuban
expedition. That location is said to be in
every respect satisfactory, and there is an
abundance of excellent water there. NO
doubt il would be desirable, from several
points of view, to have all the troops
which are to form a part of the Cuban ex-
petition encamped at Tampa. The regu-
lar troops are there, and their influence
would help to shape the volunteers into
an effective army. However, the voiun-
teers will find Lakeland a very satsfac-
tory place for an encampment, and under
competent teachers they will make rapid
progress towards becoming seasoned SOL
6iers.
No one can say with any degree of GER
tainty how long the invasion of Cuba will
be delayed. 1t ought to be delayed until
the volunteers are thoroughly equipped
with the kind of guns used by the regu-
lars and have been subjected to such
training as would enable them to meet
the Spanish soldiers on terms of equality.

guard American interests in the city
of Iloilo. on the island OF Panaya. one
of the Philippine archipelago. and a
military and naval expedition is now
on its way there from Manila.
Cable advices were received here to-
day from General Otis, commanding the
military forces in the Philippines. and
Admiral Dewey, commanding the naval
forces there, showing that they are act
ing in concert III the matter.
General Otis reported that he had
dispatched TWO regiments and pat
terry OF artillery TO lloilo on army trans
ports, ana admiral Dewey notified the
navy department. that the cruiser Bal
timore had sailed from Manila for the
same place.
it is explained that these Ulcers are
acting upon their own discretion in the
matter, and that no official adVices
have been received here TO indicate that
there IS any unusual lawlessnesS in
lloii0.
Several days ago 1t was reported by
way OF Madrid that the Spanish forces
in noilo had been attacked by the IN
surgents. and had driven them back
with heavy losses, but this report lacks
confirmation. The United States eXpe-
dition is more IN the nature of a ore
caution, but VIII take active measures
for the suppression of lawlesSness. in
case the condition of affairs requires it.
Admiral Dewey is anxious for the ar
rival Of the Buffalo. which is now near
Malta, en- route to Manila. in order that
he may send home a number of men

pired
