New York. May 1t.--A dispatch TO the
World from Cadi2 ssys The war and naval
departments are advancing preparations for
relief expedition to the Philippines which
il is said will he composed OF 5000 regular
soldiers and two battalpns OF marines. In.
struc,ions have been sent to General Au-
gusti TO hold out as long as possible, forty
days being required for the arrival OF an
expedition going by way Of the Sues canal
and The Red sea.
The commander Of the squadron convey

Admiral Clmara elects to remain in charge
of the remaining vessels Of the reserve

project Of sending a relief expedition to the
Philippines is treated by military and naval
experts here as a mere bluff
In the first place, it is considered that
the Spanish government needs all the troops
II can muster TO maintatn its dynasty at
nome
Secondly the reserve squadron can not
possibly be ready for month
Thirdly there would be the insuperable
coaling difficulty for the ships for a voy-
age OF 5000 miles, Some doubt is expresss ed
whether Spain could send relief expeli-
ton through the Suez canal hut the World
correspondents finds that the convention be-
tween the great powers concluded In 1881
expressly provides that the canal shall be
open to all ships OF all nations ir time o.
peace or war on condition that no rlgAt

having for its object the preparation or OPP
Grafton OF war, shall be committed In the
canal or any of its approaches or ports OF
access The vessels OF war OF belligsrents
shall not be reyicualed or take stores In

The Normal School.

In accordance with the action of a
meeting held Friday evening of last
week, Mayor Bear appointed and mott
fled a committee of Is citizens and
designated Thursday evening, 9th
inst, for the first meeting.
And the meeting was held, the
Mayor presiding, with George G..
Townsend as secretary pro TEN.
A letter from Hon. Matthew Rowe
was read, stating that Cumberland
had submitted plans showing that the
present academy there could be
changed by building additional dor
mitories for $50, 900, with an additional
$4,000 per year for running expenses,
and he suggested that the people of
Frostburg show what inducements they
can offer to secure the school.
Rev. A. c. Haverstick suggested
that committees be appointed as fol-
lows-O on Site and Plans; CO. on
Legislation, and CO on Finance.
Peter Lammert thought the com
mittees on Site and Plans and on
Legislation should be one.
AT this juncture Hon. NJ. H. Rowe
came in aud stated that Senator Dick
had the bill in charge and he believed
the Committee could get any informa
ton that they nigh; want by writing
to him. He had heard from members
of the Legislature that Frostburg peo-
pie would have to specify what induce
ments they can offer before the town
would be considered.
John Chambers now appeared above
the horizon and the subject was discuss
ed in all its phases.
Mr.. Haverstick moved that the chair
appoint three Committees of five each
one on Site, one on Legis; station and
one on Finance.
Mr.. Lammert still thought the com
mittees on Site and Legislation should
be one.
oouu CLdlh oeIS ldNoreu Tue mOIlOn
as made, as it would put too much
work on one quintette.
Messrs. C. F. Nickel and C. H.
Walker argued against appointing
large committees.
Mr.. Lammert amended by blending
the committees on Legislation and
Site into one, to be composed of five
members.
The amendment was put and de-
clared lost.
The original motion was .hen car
ried, Mr.. Lammert not voting.
Mr.. Haverstlck moved that the mo-
ton be reconsidered. Carried.
He then moved that there be two
committees appointed of five each
one on Site and Correspondence the
other on Finance-the committee to &C
to Annapolis to be selected later
Carried.
1t was understood that the chairman
Mayor Bear should have time tc
select the members of the committee
consequently they were not named.
Mr.. Walker moved that meeting adj
journ subject to the call of the chair
Carried.
