End Of Letter. whoa. Deal.

Chicago, May 3l.-Lcitcr's famous
deal was formally closed to-day. The
last moments were lively. and Joseph
Letter, TO NIL appearances. was mas
ter OF the situation. AS II to cmpha-
size his command OF the market, Lei
ter sent May wheat down from S1.I5
TO Sl.2j. This move was plainly for
the purpose OF cvading the big re-
ccipts and to circumvcnt the '.tailers,"
who wanted TO ring In" n lot Of
wheat on Letter at fancy prices. Lei
ter fooled them by putting the price
down. Nevertheless he had to take
on board another 100000 bushels to-
day In addition to the pile of five or
six million bushels which lie still has
on his hands. All attempts to place

are concerned. at the elimination Of

ancc. Some claim that he will pocket
n profit Of four million dollars, while
others insist with knowing glances
that he will bc fortunate II he comes

London, May 3O.-Thc Washington
correspondent Of the Telegraph sends
the following to his paper tonight:
''It comes TO the Telegraph from

Anglo-Amcrlcan alliance have already
been taken. How far these negotia-
tions. II they can yet he called by that
term, have proceeded. II IL not easy to

visits of the British ambassador to the

According to this authority the
feature OF the proposed alliance now

"Grcat Britain Is to recognize the 80

'Thc United States IL to stand by

SECOND CALL FOR RvOLUNTEERS
AdIutant General Corbin Ia Now Making
Out the Necessary Details.

Washington. May 81. - Adjutant
General COrbin Is now working out
the details OF the second call for vol
unteers. Communications from the
governors of the several states re-
celved by the adjutant general indi-
cate clearly that they approve OF the
plan to recruit the regiments from
their states up to the maximum
strength out OF the second call. As
heretofore Indicated In the Associated
Press dispatches, this necessary re-
cruiting will absorb about 10000 men,
leaving about 5000 to be organized
Into additional regiments. 1t Is the
purpose OF the War Department otii-
clals TO recruit existing regiments up
to maximum strength of 1896 men,
In twelve companies. 1t Is not expect
cd TO assemble the recruits In state
camps. Officers from each regiment
will be detailed for recruiting duty
and tho work Of recruiting the quota
OF each state under the second call
Will proceed precisely rs 1t does reg
ularly. As fast ms the men are re-
crultcd they will be- examined and
sent forward to join the regiments to
which they will be assigned. The
new recruits will be assigned to regi-
nicnts OF their own states and, SO far
as possible, the companies and regi-
mcnts which represent the sections Of
the states In which they reside. Thus
recruits will be among friends and ac-
lliaintanccs and not among strangers.
Only after the existing regiments
have been recruited UP to the maxi
mum strength will new rcglmcntal or
eanlzatlons be formed.

SAID TO BE MOVING.
Soldiers From lamp. and Mobile Starting
for Cuba.

Washington, May 3O.-Thc military
Invasion of Cuba has begun. Unless
the orders OF the War Depai tment have
miscarrlcd, at an early hour this morn
Ing the troops that have been gath
cred ut the gulf ports began to break
camp and msrch aboard transports
waiting to carry them to the enemy's
territory. About twenty-five of these
ships, the biggest ana fastest that
could be obtained suitable for the pur-
pose, had been gathered ready to TO-
ceive the troops. They will accOmmo-
date about 10000 men, for, In II short
voyage like that from one of the gulf
ports to Cuba, 1t is possible with safe
ty and comfort to carry IL much larger
number Of men aboard ship than
would be admissible in the case OF II
cruise to the Philippines, for instance.
How many troops started this morn
Ing. where they took ships, or whittier
they nre bound. are questions which
the directing spirits of the campaign
refuse positively to answer. They
have no desire that the Spanish should
have opportunity afforded them to
gather forces to attack our soldiers as
they land. Therefore. nothing OF the
details of this first movement can be
learned.
1t Is generally believed that n part
Of the force Will be sent to Santiago de
Cuba to aid Schlcy in his efforts to
capture Ccrvcra's fleet. Porto Rico
may be the objective point of Il por-
tion of the soldiers.
