Great Drawback.

Tampa, Fla, May 19.-All the news
paper correspondents at Tampa were to-
day notified that in future all dispatches
must be placed in the hands of Lieuten-
ant Miley, of General Skaters staff for
approval. The censorship in future
will be very rigid, and it is said that it
will be kept in force until after the in
vasion of Cuba takes place. 1t is the in
tention to keep the Spanish government
in complete ignorance of the movements
Of the army, if possible, and every mea-
sure will be used in order to do SO.
General Wade, Lieutenants Reed ana
Amy Of his staff, and Col. j. II. Weston,
returned to Tampa after having inspect
ed the prospective camping grounds for
volunteer troops at Jacksonville, Miami,
Palm Beach and other east coast points.
1t is probable that Il favorable report
will be made in regard to Jacksonville
as Il point Of concentration. Fully 30
900 troops, it is said, could De easily
taken care of there. There is plenty of
good water there, and both the rail and
harbor facilities are such that the troops
could be quickly moved to Tampa or else
where. or put on board transports. The
difficulty of obtaining a sufficient guam
tity of water for the troops stationed
here has been Il source of great annoy
ance. to say the least, and it is believed
that should the military campaign in Gu
ba be postponed for any length of time,
part Of the regular troops stationed here
will be moved to Jacksonville.
General Wade and his staff officers and
clerks will leave. on Saturday for Chick
amauga, where General WADE win take
command Of the Third army corps.
Col. Babcock left Tampa tonight

MANY CURIOUS INVENTORS.

The officials of the patent office say
that they have never been so bothered

applicants for patents whose claims upon
investigation prove to have neither novel

crazy quiets, so to speak, constructed
from really valuable material that are
the products of truly inventive minds
and which have long since been utilized.
But among all people who investigate
and are susceptible of conviction by
proof. there can be no doubt that Hos

of sovereign merit, one of the hhesI

WAKE DEMOCRATS TO-DAY
THE CONVENTION WILL BE CALLED TO
ORDER AT NOON in METROPOLITAN HALL
The Ball of An important Campaign viii be
Set in Motion To day..Full Atten-
dance Expected.

The Democratic county convention OF
Wake county will be called to order at
noon to-day by Armistead Jones, Esq,

delegates TO the State Democratic Con
rontion. which meets in Raleigh on
Thursday Of next week, the Judicial Con
vention which meets in Raleigh Wednes-
day night OF next week. and the Con
,,ressional convention which has not yet
been called.
As Il rule the primaries held last Satur-
lay were well attended, and in most of
those in the country precincts there were
occesSions to the party from men who
have heretofore trained with the Popu-
list party This is an encouraging and
hopeful sign. and augurs we'll for the
November elections.
Wake county cast in the last election
1856 votes for Cyrus Il. Watson for
Governor, and will therefore be entitled
to - delegates to the State convention.
ON the basis Of one delegate for every
100 votes east for Governor.
10 the Congressional and Judicial con-
ventions. Wake is entitled to 81 votes
each on the basis of one vote for every
20 Democratic votes cast for Governor.
1t is not probable that there will be
any contest for delegates to either Of the
conventions. However, rule number
OF the plan of organization provides the
method Of dividing the vote in the event
there is any division Of sentiment for
Judge or member of Congress. That rule
is as follows:
AT every County convention (befOre
delegates to State. Congressional. judi
cial. Senatorial or other conventions are
chOsen there shall be Il vote taken for
the different candidates for office whose
names may be presented, and the dele
gates shall vote their respective counties
in accordance with this vote: that is t.
say, each candidate shall receive in the
State Congressional judicial, Senatorial
or other convention the proportion of the
vote to which the county may be entitled
which he received in the County con
vention. The chairman and secretary OF
the County convention shall certify 70
each convention the vote received by
each candidate ut the County conven-
ton, and no other instruction shall be
given: Provided, That where only one
candidate is presented, it shall be Lawful
to instruct for him. At all State and
District convention the delegates from
the different counties may disregard the
vote of their respective counties as TO any
candidate: Provided, That a two-thrds
majority Of all his votes from the county
consent thereto"
The vote for Watson in the various
praoiuCte i'm 1StlG was rs follows.
