massacre, but General Garcia issued a
proclamation, declaring that the prop.

would be respected. The general also
personally assured the leading Span.

fectly safe in remaining in Bayamo,
with the result that business went on

there. The people began bringing in
vegetables from the country, and the

the purpose of its war with Spain, and
to furnish the American ships of war
in Pacific waters with large quantities
Of coal, supplies and ammunition.
This action was taken by the executive
after a secree conference Of the Ha-

position to be assumed by the govern.
ment toward the two belligerents. The
news of the declaration of war by the
United States against Spain, was re.

WADE WILL LEAD.

Alnost Certain He Il to Have Command
Of American Soldiers in Cuba.
TAMPA, Fla, May At is now al.
most certain that Brigadier General
Wade will have active command of the
United States troops in the field in
Cuba. Both Generals Wade and
shafter will, it is said, accompany the
expedition when it sails, but the latter,
although the ranking general, will not
direct the movements of the troops in
the field. Arrangements for the EN-.
barkation of the troops are being
pushed with the utmost vigor. The
Florida and Olivette are being put in
shape for the reception of the soldiers,
and the Mascotte, which came in dur.
ing the day, will be taken in hand and
prepared for service as transport.
Nearly every regiment in camp had
rigid inspection during the day and in
struction was given to have every thing
in shape for breaking camp on short NO.
tice.
1t is barely possible that the United
States forces will be actually en- route
fore Cuba befor the first of next week.
But four of the necessary transports
are as yet on hand and it will probably
be Sunday before all of the boats are
here and have received their coal and
other sunDlies.

1nslish Hostility to Popular Education.
An American visitor to England
who spends some little time in the
country, says ]. N. Larned in The
Atlantic, can hardly fail to become
conscious of three serious facts: (1j
That there is strong class feeling
against much education for those
who are looked on as underlings and
servants, feeling more prevalent
and more pronounced than the
shamefaced sentiment of like mean;
ness that is whispered in some snobi
bish American circles. (2) That
the "school rate" seems to be the
most begrudged of English taxes,
the most sharply criticised, the
most grumbled at, and this to a de:
gree for which there seems nothing
comparable in America. (8) That
the opposition to secular schools,
fostered by the church and ostensil!
bly, actuated by a desire for reli1,
gious instruction in the schools, ID
largely supported in reality by the
two sentiments indicated above.
49," Looking, therefore, to the in!
oreasingly democratic conditions
that are inevitable in England, the
reluctance and factiousness of dis
position that appear among it's citi+
zens touching the vital matter Of
popular education are ominous Of
evil to the nation, and gravely lessen
its chance of holding, under the
reign of democracy, the high place
to which it rose under an aristo4
cratic regime. ..,

KEY WEST, May 5.-The exodus sof
Admiral Sampson's feet, after brief

cident of the dullest day since hostiG.

REGARDED WITH SUSPICION.

Not Behaved the Cape v-rd. Fleet Has
Returned to Cahiz.
WASHINGTON, May 5.-Great interest
is felt in the reported return of the
Spanish Cape Verde feet to Cadiz. but,
while admitting the possibility of the
fast vessels of the Spanish flying squad.
ron making the passage in the five
days that the vessels have been out
from ST. Vincent, the naval officers
were disposed to regard with great sus.
picion news of this kind emanating
from Portugal because of the recog-
nized sympathy of the Portuguese with
the Spanish side. 1t would be worth
good deal to the Spanish admiral com.
manding the flying squadron, suppos.
ing he were on his way across the At.
lantic, to throw US off our guard b.
having us believe that he had returned
to Spain.

learn that nowhere in the cave viii
even dust rise upon our shoes. We
note also the exhilarating effect of
the air upon the members of our
party. It is believed that the air
has become oxygenated by chemical
process; certainly, from it's purity
and dryness, it enables one to un-
dergo exercise for hours without a
sense of fatigue. Here before us is
evidence Of the wonderful dryness
Of the air. The saltpeter vats erect
ed in 1919 and the timbers which
have remained in their present posi-
tion since then show no evidences
Of decay. In these vats the saltpeter
was leaohed from the nitrous earth
abounding in the upper and middle
dry avenues and used for the manu-
faoture of gunpowder.
The war of 1919 was fought, on
the American side, with gunpowder
made from saltpeter taken from
caves, and Mammoth cave supplied
the greater part. One wonders how,
in the absence of germs and of de-
cay, the earth becomes charged with
nitrogen. It has been claimed that
nitric acid in the atmosphere, COM
bining with the limestone, forms nj
trate of calcium, and the disintegrat-
ed waste from the walls and ceiling
yields the great supply of nitrogen
abounding in the cave.
It requires day and half to
make the regulation journeys
through the cave; one half a day to
what is known as the short route
and an entire day to the long or
river route. But that by no means
exhausts the objects of interest, and
one may spend days in visiting ave-
nues and chambers and domes not
included in the regular routes.

Tho Economy Of Art.

Charles Keene's lines are as few
as can be. He is most economical in
this respect and loves to leave as
much white paper as he can, but one
feels in his best work that one line
more or one line less would impair
the perfection of the whole; that Of
all the many directions, curves and
thicknesses they might have taken
he has inevitably hit upon just the
right one. He has beaten all pre-
vious records in this respeot-in this
country at least. I heard celej

more than 10 minutes were con sumed

MADRID, May 5.-The situation in
the provinces is unchanged and every.
where dissatisfaction is growing, prob.
ably over the price Of bread. Acts
against authority are becoming more
and more overt. At Caceras, capital of
Estramadura, the populace marched
into the railway station to prevent the
export Of provisions and overpowered
the soldiers on guard. capturing IA car.
loads Of wheat -four.
All Valencia is in state of siege. At
Catalan the rioters captured the mayor
and town councillors and demanded q
ransom. On the mayor protesting he
was shot through the leg, after which
the gendarmes dispersed the mob.
AT Talevara the rioters were most
determined, sacking many bakeries and
setting on fire several government
buildings.
