nor more inviting than it did on this oc-
casion. The card playing was in the

ally decorated for this occasion. Around
nine large tables rat the card players.
The walls and ceiling Of the room had
their attractiveness increased by mnIti-
colored bunting which, too, was en-
twined about the two large columns in
the center of the room. Ferns, palms,
and other flowers were set about the
room making indeed beautiful scene.

ners. Wildes was as cool as a cucumber,
but the weather was warm. So he
called for big palm leaf fan, and, calm
as woman at the opera, famed him
self.
So cool and calm was this Yankee
fighter while the Spanish ships were
sinking under the hail of lead that he
remembered he had not had his break
fast. 1t speaks well for Wildes that, un-
der the circumstances, he bcthought
himself he was hungry. If man has
good appetite he is in good health,
and if he's healthy he can fight Feel
ing the cravings of his appetite, Wildes
ordered a cup of coffee to be served to
him on the bridge. One can easily
imagine he hears Wildes' order, pune
tuated by orders, thus:
"Pd thank you for a cup of coffee
lieutenant, you've got the correct
range-and not too much sugar An
other smash like that and the Castella's
a goner."
This is probably the first cup of cof-
fee ever served and consumed on fight
ing bridge during battle. Cafe la
Wildes" will be a popular drink in
Uncle Sans navy.
But Wildes was not the only hungry
man in that fleet during the first part
of the magnificent fight. Dewey was
hungry, and, being kind and thoughtful,
he remembered that all his men and all
his officers must be hungry, too. So
when breakfast time came Dewey drew
off his fleet, and every Yankee on the
fleet enjoyed his breakfast very much
indeed. Having finished breakfast
they went back and finished the Span
iards

Are Ready, but Yet Delay,

Washington, June 1.-THE troop
transports have not proceeded to
Cuba, either Thursday or the day be-
fore, as has been repeatedly asserted.
They are in readiness to go, but will
not move until the naval convoy is
ready to accompany them, assuring
safe conduct from Florida to the point
of destination. Whether that will be
to-day or tomorrow the department
positively declines to say, and there
is authority for the statement that
any reports purporting to give the
hour or day when this fiotilla of in
vasion will start is not only unwar-
ranted but meets with vigorous Off
cial condemnation

ylE PRESS CENSOR.
ie Suppresses All News Not Agree
able 70 the Government.
Gen. AdoIphus w. Greeley, Chief
Signal officer of the Army, Is at the
Head of This New-FnnEIed
Suppression Bureau.

The trail Of the press censor is now
over everything. Never did remorse-
less editor with deadly blue pencil
slaughter beautiful copy" as does
Uncle Sans censors, who are editors in
the true and root meaning of the word.
Newspapers which for 80 years have
not known what it means to be inter
fered with are now having a luminous
object lesson taught them, and for once
the special correspondent realizes how
small the individual can feel when
thrown against the mass Of the nation.
This so-called censorship, says the
Chicago Times-Herald, shows what
truly sovereign power means. And the
best of it is that the people indorse the
government fully. They may miss
little of their daily information, but
they are perfectly willing to do without
it rather than share it equally with the
enemy. AS it is impossible to get all
the newspapers to agree on matter for
publication the government has taken
the affair in its own hands, and the
newspapers get only what the govern
ment permits them to get.
Gen. Adolphus w. Greedy is the head
censor. Under him are numerous army
and navy officers, who, to the corre-
spoDdents, know nothing, and who read
every line of news that goes out from
important points. Key West, New York
and Tampa are under the censorship"
and of course so is Washington. The
telegraph is in control of the govern
ment. No information is allowed to
pass, press or no press, that is consid-
cred at all useful to the enemy. Not
only do the censors cut out parts Of
dispatches, or throw the dispatches
away wholly, but they sometimes in
ject misinformation bodily into mes
sages that are passed. These cooked
up kilograms are sent to the newspa-
pers with the correspondents sigma
lures, and the editors receiving them

GEN. A. W. GREELY.

GEN. A w. GREELI.
(Chief Signal officer United States Army.l
DO not know what is the censor's and
what is the correspondents work. Dis
patches are received and paid for by
the newspapers as news and published
as news. The correspondent doesn't
know what his paper gets and the news
paper doesn't know what the CORE
spondent sends. Uncle Sam is the only
responsible party in the matter, and
the humor of the situation is found in
the further fact that ir this regard
Uncle Sam is a totally irresponsible
party, if there ever was one.
These efforts of the authorities to
mislead the willy Spaniard, or at least
to give him no information about the
plans of this country, are being aided
and abetted by patriotic newspapers
and correspondents. The latter sends
along every item tht ''leaks" out. but
as all these items are scrupulously
vised by the censor. it may be taken
for granted that what thus percolates
to the public is not considered very inn
portant information.
At Key West and Tampa the censor
ship over kilograms is especially rigid,
The officer in charge of the telegraph
office at Tampa is Lieut.. M:lsI-, an aide
of Gen. Shafter and all dispatches must
be given to him. Correspondents who
are caught smuggling news will be
packed off home, if not otherwise pun
ished, and for the first time in their
lives young men representing great
daily newspapers find a strong wall be-
tween themselves and their managing
editors" at home. The censorship is
particularly hard on the correspond
ents of the big London dailies, who have
been acting, unwittingly. as couriers
for the government at Madrid. They
were delighted with the freedom of the
American news system in the early days
of the campaign, but now their mes
sages are turned inside out, pruned,
changed, and labored with, when not
thrown away in their entirety. Cor
respondents in Tampa are forbidden to
send out the movements of officers and
the arrivals of volunteer troops, and it
may be that the American army will be
on Cuban soil before the American pub
lie learns the fact.
Gen. Greedy, who is the bogy man of
the correspondents and the censor-in-
chief of the news dispatches, has been in
the army since the beginning of the civil
war. At that time he enlisted as a pri-
vate and had risen to the rank of cap
tain before 1865. At the close of the war
he was transferred to the regular army
and in 1865 he entered the signal service.
His fame was made in the celebrated
Greedy expedition to the arctcs. The
story Of that expedition is part of the
worlds history. Gen. Greedy has been
honored by foreign scientific societies
in Europe and his works are translated
into many languages.

GOODNESS IN BATTLE.
Capt. WiIdes Drank His Coffee While
Fighting the Spanish Fleet I'm
Manila hay.

If you want to say that any man is
always cool, calm and collected. say
that he is as cool as Capt. Wildes, of the
cruiser Boston. He is one of the Off
GERS with Dewey's fleet at Manila, and
all the world is wondering at his calm
ness. While the Boston slowly steamed
into the bay of Manila, while two op-
posing storms of projectiles swept the
waters, while a man could not hear
himself think in the thunder of the
guns, Wildes stood on the Boston's
bridge watching, when the smoke
raised, the deadly accuracy of his gun
