The MOVEMENT DRAGGED,
Fleet of Transports With Troops for Cuba

Will Reach Destination Friday
Noon

Washington, June 14.-Oflicia infor-
nation has reached Washington to the
effect that the feet of transports with
troops for Santiago de Cuba. supposed
TO nave left yesterday for Cuba. had not
sailed at an early hour this morning.
No reason has been given for the uney-
pected delay. The officials positively
decline to discuss the matter. but it is
clearly shown by their manner that the
news is most unwelcome
Supposed Entire Fleet Has Sailed.
Later advices received during the aft
ernoon show that the start was actually
made yesterday afternoon, but the
movement dragged and many ships did
not move until some time this forenoon.
1t is supposed all the vessels are now
ialrly under way. The public will prob
ably be fully Informed tomorrow con-
cernlng the movement, as the authori-
ties have determined to withdraw the
censorship thus far enforced from Flo
rida points. Allowing three days for
the trip, General Skaters forces will be
in the vicinity of Santiago de Cuba by
Friday noon. 1t is expected that another
expedition will leave from some Atlantic
coast point within ten days for Porte

BEETS GROWING FINELY.
Two Hundred Laborers Are Wanted to
Thin Them-New Improvements
at the Factory.


William Bardenheuer. head draughts-
man for Fred w. Wolfe Co., of Chicago.
arrived from that city with Manager
Goetz, Tuesday, and will make draw
ings and plans for placing new centri-
fugals. mixers and the Buck system of
crystalization and motion in the local
factory. The actual work of putting
the new improvements in place will
commence about August /. and will be
completed by September Is.
Asked as to the present condition of
the beet crop throughout the valley,
and what effect the recent rains had
upon the plants. Manager Goetz stated
that the showers had proven most bene-
llclal. Regarding the crop situation as
whole, he said the management was
well satisfied. The termination was all
that could be desired or asked for.
Failures this year will be due only to
neglect upon the part of growers who
fail to properly cultivate their ground
and carefully keep down weeds. Too
much stress cannot be put upon the lat
ter point, for where weeds are permitted
to grow Il poor crop is sure to result.
They draw largely upon the soil to the
detrlment OF the beets, both as regards
size, purity and sugar content.
A sufficient acreage is already assured
to guarantee the factory run of suf-
ticient length. The stands of beets are
good, and they are making healthy and
vigorous growth. In fact they are
growing so rapidly that it is difficult to
care for them properly. Thiuners are
needed Quite a number of tracts have
been thinncd, but there are many more
now needing that attention. The fac
tory management states that it could
use 200 men and children for that pur-
pose if they could be secured. There is
10 excuse for idle people in Eddy while
)eet fields are unthinned.
Planting is still continuing and will
,ot be stopped, in all probability, till
July |.
The Argus is in position to say that
he prospects for the present years beet
'rop are very bright and encouraging.

ARRESTED FOR FORGERY.
Relative of General Lee and Jefferson Da-
Wis Accused Of Defrauding Railroads by
Means Of Bogus Bonds,

Chicago, June l4.-Perry Lee Downs,
alias Phil Davis, lieutenant colonel of
the Blue and Gray legion, has been ar
rested, charged with forging railroad
bonds to the value of $2SO,OOO. The
sheriff acted on requisition papers from
Governor Tanner and the governor of
Maryland Downs is relative of Gen
eral Fitzhugh Lee and Jefferson Davis.
The alleged forgery occurred three
years ago.
Up to three years ago he was above
reproach, but it is said that gambling
caused his downfall. He squandered
fortune at the gambling table officials
say, and in order to recoup himself,
committed forgery after forgery, until
the amount he obtained in this way be-
came so large that to avoid arrest he
fled without notifying his family.

closer than 1000 yards. Upon sighting
the Spaniards they ran in short dis

them.
