M,KIYLEY AT ARLINGTON.
Stirring Address by Senator Thurston-
 The War With Spain.


 Washington, May S0.-In the center of the great amphitheatre of the Ma tional cemetery at Arlington, President Mckinley and three of his cabinet to- day joined 6,OO0 other citizens in paying tribute to the patriotic dead. Ceremo- nies were held simultaneously in sev- eral parts of the cemetery, but the main ceremony was in the amphitheatre close to the old Lee mansion. There about 2,0OOpeople gathered, while on the platform was distinguished company, including President Mckinley, Vice President Hobart, Secretary Alger, Sec retary Gage, Secretary Wilson and United States Senator Thurston of Ne braska, the Chinese minister and the Korean minister Prior to the services there was a procession of members of the Grand Army, the Sons of Veterans, the Women's Relief corps, ex-soldiers and sailors and the general public, headed by the Fourth artillery band, halting for brief services at the Tomb of the Unknown" the band playing dirge, and then marching through the grounds and decorating the graves. The exercises at the platform embraced a number of addresses, poems and sing. ing by quartette. The feature of the ceremonies was the oration of Senator Thurston. He was listened to most attentively. Prolonged applause greet ed his references to the absence of sec- tionalism and to the presence of Ad- miral Dewey in the harbor of Manila. Senator Thurston among other things said T am deeply impressed with the thought that this great western hemis- phere is under the especial guidance of Gods great plan; that we as a people are struggling onward and upward to the fulfillment of supreme purpose.
 What an inspiring sight to see those
 who once fought against each other now rallying under the one flag and singing together the rearranged music
 of the Union, Yankee Doodle and Dixie, the favorite airs! We are united as | never before. Every trace of bitterness | is gone at last.
 q do not know when this war with Spain will cease. I do not know what sacrifices we may yet be called upon
 to make. But I do know that what ever the cost the delivering of the new | world from the barbarity and inhu- l manity of Spain's merciless despotism will be worth it all. I do know that ! the cementing together of the hearts | of all the people will be an enduring l friendship and abiding love. do know | that this accomplishment of Gods great purpose will bring to the Amer i ican people Gods choicest blessing and reward"

CERVERA'S FIRST PLAN.
It Was to Sail Into San Juan Hnrbor-
 How He Was Baked.

[Copyright, 1898, The Associated Pressl knows now that spain's flying squad ron, four splendid cruisers and two torpedo boat destroyers, is imprisoned in Santiago harbor. This fact has been known there forty-eight hours, and the speculation now is over the probable disposition of the Spaniards, whether they will be bIockaded or the forts re- duced and the vessels compelled to fight. In the latter case there can be but one result, for Commodore Schley has some of the finest ships in the world, to say nothing of cruisers and various smaller vessels and could in few days be reinforced by other pow erful warships. It would be foolhardi- ness on the part of Cervera to offer battle.
 An interesting story remains to be told of the reasons which led Cervera to Santiago and the way in which he was hemmed in. It is now known that when the Spanish admiral sailed for the West Indies he expected to enter San Juan de Porto Rico for coal and supplies. On touching at Curacoa for news his plans were upset by the re- ceipt of dispatches telling him that Rear Admiral Sampson had lombard ed the San Juan Notifications and was still in the neighborhood of Porto Rico. Thereupon Cervera sailed for the south coast of Cuba. Why he entered San- tiago harbor instead of the harbor of Cienfuegos is not known, but the American commanders were inclined to think the Spaniards would go to the latter port.
 It is certain that Cervera could not have escaped from Santiago without being discovered for the American scouts had been prowling about the port for ten days, and other scouts had been not far away Practically Santiago has been blockaded for that length of time. Cervera's coal ship, which followed him from Curacoa to Santiago. was captured last Weakness

BARRY AND LEON DRAW.
Twenty Rounds of Most Scientific and
 InteresttngFighti

New York, May 30.-The meeting of the championship bantamweight fight CT, Jimmy Barry of Chicago, and Cas- per Leon, of this city, was the chief feature of the programme arranged for the patrons of the Lenox Athletic club tonight. The boys were matched to go twenty rounds at 110 pounds for a good sized purse and the bantamweight championship of the world. Barry weighed-in at 109 pounds and Leon at 106 pounds. After fighting twenty rounds. which were most scientific, Referee Jimmy White called the con- test draw. There was little to choose between the boxers at the finish. Both showed up cleverly and a more inter- esting contest could not be desired. Barry was big favorite in the betting at ? to 1, but although no money was lost on the result several bets on that Leon would not stand six rounds, fif- teen rounds and the limit were made by some sanguine friends of the Chica- go boxer and the New Workers who snapped these up were the only win ners during the night.

CRUISER ST. LOUIS SAILS.
Dispatches Taken Aboard Just as the
 Ship Was Leaving.

New York, May SO.-The auxiliary cruiser St. Louis sailed from the Amer ican line pier at 3:90 p. m. When the ship was about one hundred feet from shore messenger boy rushed up with a sealed message to be delivered to Captain Randle of the St. Louis. A hawser was thrown from the ship and the message was attached. It could not be learned what the message con- tained or where it came from.
 The strike which. threatened to pre- vent the vessels sailing was adjusted about half an hour before sailing. Commissioner Harrigan appealed to the strikers to return to duty, saying that if they refused they would be counted as towards and deserters. Out of the 360 strikers all but forty-one returned to duty. The places of the men who refused to return were filled from the many who stood on the pier anxious to serve. It was stated that the St. Louis would proceed to Key West.

Eight Regiments Ordered by War De-
 partment to Tampa.
 Chickamauga, National Park, May 30. The greatest excitement prevailed in Camp Thomas to-day over g. rumor that a general order had been issued to once to Tampa. The rumor when trac- ed to it's source, proved to be only part ly true, only eight regiments being af- fected by an order from the war de- partment, as follows: First Ohio, Sev- enteenth Indiana, Third Pennsylvania and First Illinois, to be commanded by Brigadier General Simon Snyder; Sec ond New York, Sixty-ninth New York, Fifth Maryland and First District of Columbia, under command of Brigadier General Louis H. Carpenter.
 These regiments are ordered to pro- ceed at once to Tampa It is under- stood that four regiments will leave to- morrow and the other four Wednesday. The regiments ordered out are regarded
 
 oughly prepared of any in the camp. With those regiments that arrived to- day, the troops at the park number 45,- 00O The regiments going away num- Der 6,000. The First Maine arrived to- day. Just before the decoration ser- vices at the national cemetery began to-day, in Chattanooga, two details of soldiers from the Fifth Illinois regiment entered the cemetery with the bodies of Privates Frank c. Bosley and Lud- wig Bohnert of that regiment, accom- panied by band playing a dead march. The cortege reached the spot in the cemetery selected for the inter- ment, where a vast congregation had gathered to witness the military re- view of the dead. Chaplain Davis of the Fifth Illinois held a, religious ser- vice, after which the remains of the two soldiers were buried. A military salute was fired over the grave. The heroes of 1561-64 then covered with flowers the new made mounds.

FRANCE AND AMERICA.
Memory of Lafayette Honored in Paris
 by American Colony.

by American Colony.
 Paris, May 30--With a view to check the blatant pro-Spanish feeling here and enlist the sympathies of Frenchmen on the side of America, a special effort was made by the Ameri- can colony to-day to do honor to the memory of Lafayette. A big gathering proceeded to his tomb in the Picpus cemetery, which was decorated with wreaths and mutual flags. The United States ambassador, General Horace Porter, deposited the American wreaths and, in an eloquent speech re- ferred to America's debt to Lafayette and the 'unbreakable ties between the two peoples" He was warmly applaud ed.
 M. Bartholdi followed in the same strain, but he said he deplored the fact that it had been revealed that there existed a new spirit among the modern Americans, which differed from the traditions of the founders of the re- public.'' Continuing, M. Bartholdi said Frenchmen looked to General Porter and Americans like him to keep the United States faithful to the great principles of liberty and justice which presided at the birth of the republic D The military band present played the American and French anthem and all those who attended the cemetery defil- ed before the tomb.
