Secretary Day Immediately took the
Information to the White House, and

This is considered the most significant

was freely stated that this action was IN
reality the first step on the part OF SPAN
to declaration OF war.
Spain was warned by the United States
Government when the torpedo fleet lef'
Cadiz, that if the boats were sent across
the ocean to Cuba, this government
would consider it u virtual act OF war,
and would hold Spain responsible, lhe
fleet was stopped at the Canary Islands,
with the understanding that 1t would
not come on unless Spain meant 1t as a
menace. .
Tie announcement of the sailing OF
the fleet caused the greatest excltement

WILL Make ANOTHER EFFORT
"Get Together Club" Not Dis
mayed at One Failure.
MAYOR NLEAR EXPLAINS.
He Thinks the Clubs Influence Only
For the CitJ---COnditiOns Of
Membership.

While the effort to organize "get to-
gether' club in the interest OF harmony
in the Republican party Of Wilmington
was failure on Saturday night, another
effort will soon be made.
Mayor Mci.ear was requested to
give the information in his possession
regarding the object in view and the
end to be attained, in case the club
should eventually be organized, which
he freely consented to do, and, from
what he said. there seems to be no
doubt that within the next two weeks
there will be ''get together" club keep
ing open house in this city.
According to the Mayor. the movement
is simply an individual effort on the part
Of loyal Republicans to bring together as
many of their party as possible by means
Of the proposed club, so that a friendly
feeling may be established and social and
political harmony generated.
The movement is not for the purpose
of debating to the parts or in any man
ncr interfering with the conduct OF the
cauclses or conventions or in the nam.
ing of candidates, but simply to endeavol
to eradicate the factional differences
which have caused the loss Of the State
to the Republican party in recent years
The cause of the failure Saturday
night was due to the fact shat the com.
mittee having in hand the drafting OF
the constitution had not been able to
complete its labors, but by the time the
next meeting is called everything will
be in readiness for organization and the
club will be started.
So far AZ the Mayor is aware OF, the
club is to be a purely local organization,
and at the present timo it is not In
tended to have its influence oxtend be-
yond the city.
But what may be done in the future
cannot be foretold, rs the success OF the
organization in bringing about harmony
will have considerable to do with the
work Of Republicans in other cities o.
the State.
It is intended to rent and furnish in a
comfortable manner house where mem
bers can bring their friends and enter
tain them, thus bringing them in CON
tact with people who are anxious thai
absolute harmony shall prevail in the
Republican party: :.
| One of the conditions OF membership
shall be that no factional discussions
shall be carried on between members
another will be that all members shal
bind themselves to support the cantil
dates nominated in party conventions
and support the authorized leaders II
their efforts to elect the whole ticket a
each and every election.
The movement, Mayor Mc1ea
says, has the support cf many prominen
men in the Republican party, who fee
that all that is necessary for success IS
united effort on the part OF the Repnbli
cans of the State at the coming election
This can be accomplished ii the men wh'
arc now at the head Of the plan stick to
gether and drop all factional discussion

Mr.. ADD|CKS NOT SW|yDLED
Instead Two Men Buried Gold
Bricks on His Farm.
no KLONDYKE CAME TO LIGHT
Hon. Fl. X. Boyer, of philadelphia, Re.
fuses to Be "Buncoed" by Mr..
Addicks..-The Strangers
Escape.

Robert Wilson, manager Of the Wilson
farm and William Mously a carpenter, of
Pennyhill, yesterday morning found two
gold-bricks buried on the farm Of Mr.. J.
Edward Addicks, of Carcroft, Brandy
wine hundred.
Late on Wednesday afternoon Messrs.
Wilson and Mously had their attention
attracted by the suspicious actions OF
two strangers who had driven to the
farm OF Mr.. AddIcks in q single team.
Knowing that they were unobserved
they kept up their watch, saw the two
men alight from the wagon walk,to near
the centre of an almost open field, dig
up the ground and bury something.
After this operation had been per-
formed the men returned to the team
and drove rapidly away.
By this time it was dark and the two
amateur detectives, with minds filled
with terrible tragedy or the expccta-
ton of finding small "Klondyke'
decided to await further developments
until Yesterday.
They did SO and consequently rcsur-
rected the supposed gold mine yesterday
morning.
The articles taken out were solid and
compact and were enclosed in a news-
paper, and an oilcloth, which we're held
together with shawl strap.
The wrappers were taken off and the
two men stood almost paralyzed when,
as they supposed two gold bricks were
revealed.
Messrs Wilson and Mously immedia-
telv apprised, Mr.. Addicks of their find
and that gentleman "tumbled," and ap-
prised his two visitors as to the material
Of their supposed gold.
Acting under Mr.. Addicks' suggestions
the two men delivered one Of the bricks.
to the police station in this city, while
Mr. Addicks took the other with him to
Philadelphia.
Here he attempted to gold-brick Hon.
Henry X. Boyer, speaker of the last
State Legislature of Pennsylvania, and
an intimate friend Of Mr.. Addicks.
Ml. Boyer, however, refused the
tempting offer given him by Mr.. Ad-
dicks, and asserted that he could not
possibly pay $16,OO0,00O for the farm Of
Mr.. Addicks, even if it did contain gold
bricks weighing fifty pounds each.
The supposition at police headquarters
here is that the men had attempted to
work their "game' on some one in the
vicinity but that it had failed and the
men had consequently decided to bury
the bricks.
About six months ago all attempt was
made to gold-brick a number OF farmers
in this vicinity, but it failed and the
strangers at that time escaped.

ERROR FOR lFE.BOAS.
Estimates Desired by the United
States Government for Six
Metallic Boats.

Lighthouse Inspector T. &. Train has
notified T. G. Mum, OF this city, that
estimates are desired for six metallic
ljic-boats for the United States Govern.
mcnt. The specifications called for boats
sixteen feet in length, with u beam OF
eight feet. ,
This was big error on the part OF the
designer of the boat, rs beam OF eight
feet in boat Of sixteen foot would re-
suit in the craft being as broad as size ia
long -,
Mr. Mum forwarded the estimate
sheets back to Inspector Tram, as it is
thought that the boats are to have five
foot beam.
Mr., Mum has done considerable gov.
ernmcnt work, and he hopes to succeed
in securing this contract. The vessels
nre to be completed in time for the sea-
