ALL SORTS OF RUMORS
ABOUT CADIZ FLEET

Madrid, June H-There are number
of rumors in circulation here as TO the
destination of Admiral Camara's fleet. One
has 1t that the Spanish war ships are now
heading for Boston, Mass, with the nten-
ton of bombarding New England towns.
and another report sets forth that the
Spanish reserve fleet is going to the Phil
ippine islands.
Fresh contingents of troops are being
constantly called to the coiors and there
is great activity in war and navy depart
ments. Work on the fortifcations at the
different ports of Spain is being actively
pushed, and 1t is asserted that third
squadron of warships is to be formed i'm
mediately to be composed of the Cardenal
Cisneros, Lepanto, Alfonso XIII and other
cruisers. Cadiz is to be the rendezvous
of this squadron.
1t is the general opinion here that a
protracted war Is ahead and it Is semi
officially announced that the government
does not count upon the support of any
power and that even Germany in spite of
her great interests in the Philippine islands,
will do nothing to favor Spain.

THE BOILERS WILL
HAVE A CONVENTION

Omaha, June 1.-THE so-called national
organization committee of the peoples
party, of which Milton Parks of Dallas,
Tex, is chairman, and which was chosen
at the Nashville conference of the middle
of-the-roaders July 4, last, about all its
members being editors of the so-called Ma
tional Reform Press association, has de-
cided to bolt outright and call an inde-
pendent convention on Sept. at Cincinnati
for the purpose of organizing the populist
party.
The call was issued this evening as the
result of two meetings today. 1t was
drafted jointly by Milton Parks. Wharton
Barker of Philadelphia, who is the middle
of-the-road candidate for president in 1900,
and John A. Parker of Louisville, secre-
tary of the Reform Press association.
1t scores the populist national commit
tee for it's fusion record charges the COM
msttee with high-handedness in its treat
ment last night and this morning in turn
ing down the anu-fusion proposition for
national convention in March next year
to reorganize the party and outline its
policy for 1900, and repudiates Chairman
Marion Butler, who as well as Senator
Allen of Nebraska, it fiercely denounces as
traitors to the populist cause The basis of
representation for the Cincinnati conven-
ton is to be two delegates at large for
every state or territory and on delegate
for every 1000 populist votes cast at any
election since 1890.

some very rapid work on the part of the
present local military officials and at
Washington to have the third fleet of
transports ready by the oath inst Very lit
tie work Is being done on any of the ves-

tarded the earlier departure of the first
and second fleets 1t is said in military
quarters that additional vessels will be
chartered or impressed into service, that
the third fleet will be large enough to
transport all the troops now here.
General Merritt today issued an order
directing Major-General Rubin to SUPER
wise the loading of the vessels and has or
dered him to hire all help necessary to pre-
pare the vessels for sea with promptness.
General Merritt, his staff and General

east and are expected in time to take with
the next sailing of the fleet.

FEVER SITUATION
Is MORE HOPEFUL

Washington, June 1.-THE most encour-
aging news about the yellow fever stua-
tion in the south yet received came in
official dispatches to the marine hospital
officers today.
Surgeon Carter, who has been making
McHenry, Miss, wired an official report
today that he believed the yellow fever
is confined to the town of McHenry.
Surgeon Carter, who has ben making
a thorough investigation in that field, re-
ported that he had nearly completed the
investigation of the place and houses along
the line running into McHenry south of
Hattiesburg and that there Is no fever
at any of Them
The reports also show that the people
of McHenry are cooperating in the work
and there is daily a house to house in
spection.
The authorities today are very hopeful,
but by no means confident that the danger
is past.

SPANISH CONSUL
PAID THE BILL

Key West, June 17-William Thompson,
the steward of the British collier Twicken-
ham, which was captured off Kingston, on
June 10, by the auxiliary cruiser st. Louis,
said to representative of the Associated
Press today: I'VE sailed from Newcastle
on-Tyne with full cargo of coal on April
%, the day after war has been declared.
Our destination was st. Thomas for or
ders. We reached st. Thomas on May 16,
and received orders to proceed to Mar
Unique and report to the Spanish consul
there.
"At Martinique the Spanish consul paid
our bills. We took aboard Chief officer JAS
Fernieres of the alleged Spanish hospital
ship, Alicante. He was to be super-eargo
and take charge of the coal when we reach
ed our destination. The consul cleared the
ship for Dominica, Hayti, the owners re-
fusing to let her clear for Santiago de
Cuba. Fernieres came aboard after dark,
just before we sailed. j saw Fernieres
chart of our sailing course after passing
Cape Maysi, which had Santiago as our
destination. Fernieres was formerly an Off
Ger in the Spanish army"
Steward Thompson further said: 1.-THE
Alicante is a 5000 ton steamer, chartered
from Henderson of Glasgow. She is fitted
out as a hospital boat and is painted, but
at the same time she is collier and
Spanish warship. She carries 300 men 1
myself saw her coal the Spanish torpedo

Pierre Martinique. The Allcante's engi-
neers are English and the engineers of
Cervera's fleet are Englishmen, who are
serving unwillingly against the United
States, but stick to their posts because they
were enlisted
Officer Fernieres is still on the Twicken-
ham, and will probably be sent to Fort Nc

TROOPS GATHERING
AT JACKSONVILLE

Jacksonville, Fla, June 1.-THE indica-
tions are that by the end of another week
at least twice as many troops will be en-
camped in and near Jacksonville.
Information was given out at headquar-
ters of General Lee tonight that six regi-
ments are to come here from Tampa, be-
sides which the Second Mississippi has al
ready been ordered here together with the
Second Wyoming cavalry. The Third vol
unteer cavalry will also redezvous at this
place. This makes nine more regiments
double the number here now. The regi-
ments that will come from Tampa have not
been definitely decided upon, but they will
probably be the First Florida, Sixty Ninth
New York, Third and Fifth Ohio and the
Fifth Georgia.
