American Electrical Machinery Men
Receive Concessions.

NEW YORK, May S1.-The Herald will to-
morrow print the following: American
electrical machinery manufacturers are TO
have an opportunity to provide electrical
machinery valued at 100000 for the Paris
exposition, as a result of efforts made by
the special American commission sent to
Parts to advise regarding the American
display there The commission consisted OF
Assistant Secretary of State Thomas w.
Cridler, Special Commissioner Louis N.
Hamburger. Assistant Special Commits
sioner Lieut.. A. c. Baker, of the United
States navy, and Col. Charles c. Long, Sec
rotary to the commission.
Mr.. Hamburger returned Saturday. Amer
lean electricians let slip an earlier oppoT-
tunity to furnish electrical machinery for
lack of information Negotiations began
with manufacturers of other countries, ana
as far as America was concerned the mat
ter seemed closed. After a good deal or
persuasion by the special commissioners an
other opportunity was obtained.
''Of course" said Mr. hamburger, These
concessions were not handed me on a silver
platter. but if there was any. enmity felt
towards America do you think we would
have obtained them
Mr.. Hamburger said he intended to go to
Washington at once. Early next week he
will return to this city and then go to Chi
cago, arriving June 10 or II. He will make
efforts to increase American interest in the

dftiOps Embarked at Tampa.
WASHINGTON, May 31.-When the Cab
met meeting adjourned to-day it was an
nounced that the matters under discussion
were not Of particular Importance nor was
there anything of interest that could be
given to the public. The best information
obtainable from other sources, however,
strongly indicated that the important mill
tary movement now in progress will be d.
rected against Santiago. 1t is also intimated
from high sources that the land expedition
now embarking at Tampa may be divided
and one division sent to cooperate with Ad-
miral Sampson at Porto Rico. 1t is believed
that the government now has a sufficient
number of regulars and seasoned volunteers
TO carry out both of these plans to sue
cessful issue. Transports in sufficient num-
bers and capacity already have been Sc
cured, and it is the opinion of high officials
that one or both of these plans are now
being carried into execution. General
Miles, who left here last night to take COM
mand of the military forces, is known to
have the entire confidence of the President,
who, in the course Of to-day'S Cabinet meet
ing, said, in effect, that he had the utmost
confidence in General Miless ability as a
soldier, and fully expected that he would
prove entirely worthy of his trust. Mem
bers of the administration are agreed that
the war for the first time will be prosecuted
at all points with the utmost vigor.

to be the only ones held by the Spanish,
Tor Santiago Is the one province overrun
throughout the interior by the insurgents:
The Cuban commander, General Garcia,
has his headquarters at Bayamo, seventy
brought by General Collazo and Lieutenant
Rowan indicate that Garcia has about 400
men under his immediate command. ABOUT
5000 are scattered in bands around Hoiguin,
Nitoria de las Tunis, Jigual. Meron and
other points. Aside from their offensive
strength, the Cuban forces are looked on as
valuable in that they hold the interior
roads and passes, and keep the Spanish gar
risons penned up in the six or seven seaport
towns. For this reason it is said TO be inn
possible for General Pando to move MS
forces from Santiago de Cuba, as Garcia,
with his main body of troops, is in the way
These forces are said to be in considerable
number within a few miles of Santiago de
Cuba. General Garcia's two staff officers,
who have recently been in Washington ar
ranging plan of cooperation with General
a thorough understanding as to the part the
Cubans are to take in the aggressive move
ments about to occur.
Brig. Gen. j. G.. Gilmore, OF General
Miles, staff, has been left in charge OF az
fairs at army headquarters. Later General
Gilmore expects to join General Miles, but
just when he is not at this time able to
tell. Several of the civilian. clerks with
headquarters also left with General Miles
last night. but the larger portion of the
force remains on duty here Should necessi-
~ arise, additional help will be sent to the
front to assist the general and his stan IN
their official correspondence.

TWO BALLOON TRAINS.
One VIII BE Used at Santiago and the
other in Porto Rico.

NEW YORK, May 31.-The Tribune to-
morrow will print the following: Maj. J..
l.. Maxheld, of the signal corps. who has
been assigned to command the balloon train
which is being prepared at Tampa for use in
connection with the work of the army in
Cuba, has gone to Tampa. Major Maxfield
had experience with balloons at Fort Logan,
in Kansas, and afterward in Chicago, and is
regarded as an expert He will have as his
chief assistants Captain Glassford and Ser
geant Baldwin. There are two balloons at
Tampa and two at Governors island. The
latter are the ones purchased recently from
Maurice Malet, of Paris. M. Mallet, to-
gether with Antony Vericle and NJ. Chen
ard, went TO Governors island yesterday
CTuesday) afternoon to arrange for giving
the fiEal coat of varnish to the bal oons,
which will be shipped to Tampa in about ten
days. There will be two balloon trains ar
ranged for the Cuban and Porto Riean in
vasions. There will be a company of men
in charge of each, and each train will have
two balloons. for use and one in re-
serve. The men for each company will be
taken from the Signal corps. There are two
balloons being made for the government in
this country, but ii is not known what use
will be made of them. although it is possible
that they may be placed aboard one of the
ships of the flying squadron.

ing of a Yankee skipper, Captain Dram, of
the schooner Belle Wooster, which was at
Sayanilla when the Adirondack arrived
there, on May IS Captain Dram boarded
the Adirondack and inquired If 1t had met
tain SAMSON said, that he had been there
for a month, afraid to go out and risk cap
ture. We laughed at him and told him he
was a fine Yankee to be afraid of the Span
iards. This fired his courage and he brought
out an old smooth-bore cannon, mounted 1t
on the deck forward and armed his crew
with machetes and cutlasses. He sailed for
Pensacola the next day, vowing that If he
met any Spanish ships he would sink them.
Captain Dram has not arrived at Pensacola,
but no anxiety is felt for his safety

CAPE HAITIEN, Haiti, May 81, 1890
a. m.-The Haitian dispatch boat Capois la
Mort, which arrived here from Port-au-
Prince at o'clock this morning, having the
minister of public works on board seems to
have sighted five American war ships while
passing passing the 4,, Mole st. Nicholas yesterday
Associated Press has just interviewed the
officers of the Capois ia Mort, and learns
tnat about o'clock yesterday afternoon,
When the boat was about abreast of the
Mole st. Nicholas, columns of black smoke
were viewed on the horizon east by north
The ships were about thirteen miles dis
tant and their hulls could not be fairly made
out. but all appearances indicated that the
vessels Were of great tonnage The fleet
seemed to be making northward with ali
speed, past the eastern end of Cuba, AMI
While the officers of the Capois la Mort were
observing the vessels they were gradually
lost to view behind the protruding outlines
OF Cape Maysi. 1t is hardly to be doubted
that the ships sighted were American war
vessels.

Indications of FricndIiness.

PARIS, May 31.-At the meeting of the
Cabinet to-day NJ. Hanotaux, the minister
for foreign affairs, announced the signing
of the commercial agreement with the
United States. In so doing he pointed out
that the arrangement was indicative OF the
friendly sentiments which the two govern
ments showed in their reciprocal desire to
improve the commercial relations between
the two countries.
The Journal des Debats to-day, comment
ing upon the commercial convention be-
tween France and the United States says
THE war is undoubtedly causing much in
jury to our exporters and our trade with
the United States, if not entirely stopped
would certainly be materially diminished
The convention gives us advantages main
ly for the future, which we hope are near
at hand, but at the same time 1t has special
Importance, inasmuch as it proves Wash
ington is aware that whatever may be the
individual sympathies of many Frenchmen
France, as country, is resolved to maintain
strict neutrality"

ingness to accept the mediation of the great
powers Senior Romero Robledo promptly
snapped OUT People in a state of war do

Senior Gamazos very blunt refusal to take
on his shoulders responsibility for the polit-
ical course of the Cabinet, combining his
connection Herewith to the administrative
functions Of his portfolio-public works
points in the same direction.
Last night the correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press had a conversation with a dis
tinguished member of the Silvela party. who
very candldly admitted that it would be a
good thlng for Spain if she were free from
Cupa. cuba, he said, has always been a
drag on Spanish resources. We get nothing
as a nation from it, but it has on the con-
trary, drained us of our best blood and
money. True, in the old evil days individ-
ualS made large fortunes out there but
cruelty have brought nothing but shame on
the mother country. 1t will, therefore be
good for Spain when the last connecting
link is broken. OF course, any proposal to
cut the 'able will be the most unpopular
for the government which has had the bold
ness to propose it, but sooner later it
must come to that"

intervene Spain will, under protest to save

independence from the United States
Should this come about the new Sagasta
Ministry, composed as it is of very discord-
ant elements, will dissolve of itself, if not
assisted in that operation by the sham as
well as by the real Indignation of different
sections of the population. The way will
thus be cleared for Silvela Ministry,
pledged to a policy of internal reform and
reconstruction. There is little doubt as to
Senior Silvela being one of the most far
sighted and capable Spaniard in public life
to-day. In addition to his great ability. he
is believed to be thoroughly honest and to
be supported by men who are anxious to
purify the home administration from the
blots which have made it by-word abroad
and a laughing stock at home.
Should this forecast come true bright
future may still be in store for the PENN
sula. A policy which puts an end to corrup-
ton, develops here industries and COM
merce. while restoring her shattered
finances, may make her an acceptable ally
to more than one of the great powers of
