INVASION REPORTS CREDITED

Washington, June 9.-Thee officials here
expressed the belief today that the rec1I-
lar troops had already sailed from Tam
pa but no one in authority and advised Of
the fact would make such a statement rub
licly. Though the destination Of the
troops could be only surmised il was felt
that there still remained a necessity for
concealing the exact time Of departure of
IN etroops and Il is a noticeable fact that
in spite Of the understanding that was
obtained yesterday 10 the effect that the
censor at Tampa would relax his rules
as soon as the troops had actually de-
parted. there was no authentic news d.
rect from Key West today Il did not fol-
low that even if the troops had left Tamrs
yesterday. that they were then on their
way 10 Cuba, although such was generally
believed TO be the case. for the original
orders 10 the military commanders con-
templated a start iufnaIity from Key
West At that point the transports were

Of some Of the more formidable naval
vessels Assuming that tibet ransports
left Tampa yesterday. moving at squadron
speed. they could scarcely have done
more than reached Key West today. Some
zine must be consumed in organizing the
p transports into a squadron and in
placing them under convoy. 50 that there
was = probability that If Tampa was left
yesterday the final start from Key West
would not be made before touirh.

IN -ERVIEW WITH SAGASTA

Copyright, 1898. by the Associated Press.
Madrid. May 25.-CCorrespondence of tn
Associated Press.)-The correspondent
here of the Associated Press has had al
interview with Senior Sagasta, the pres
ident of the council of ministers, at hi
office in the Presidency. The appoint
ment, fixed by courteous note from tn,
president himself, was for 1880 last even
ing.
As the correspondent entered the prime
minister's room the premier politely arose
and, pointing to an armchair separated
from his only by the corner Of the writ.
ing table, begged him to be seated.
! The correspondent said:
Sir: I want 20 ask you your views or
/ five points. I shall keep the fifth in re.
serve. as it is in the nature of a request,
the other four are-the cabinet difficulty
said to exist between Seniors Gamanzo
and Puigcerver; the real reason for Senior
Leon Y CastiHo's return 10 Paris; the
truth as to the foreign relations of Spain
is she or is she not seeking alliances p
and what are the prospects of peace?"
Senior Sagasta replied:
what bear on the same subject-foreign
relations. At the present delicate juno
ture do not feel justified in speaking
thereon. With respect to peace prospects,
information could We more easily obtained
in Washington than in Madrid, since here
there was no desire for war Spain has
been driven into war in defense Of her
rights and national existence. The United
States were the aggressors and it IS for
them to say when peace shall prevail
LAS regards the cabinet dissension. the
question between Senior Gamazo and PUG
cerver was purely an academic one, and I
have sufficient confidence in their patriot
ism to say that they will not discuss 1t
so as to bring about disunion in the cab
met at a time when the country is in
danger. Such scholastic differences Of
opinion vii undoubtedly be left for discus
sion in quieter times.
No the premier added. 'T am sure
You viii find rumor is wrong in suppos-
ing there is any danger Of a cabinet crisis
arising on this score"
When the premier had paused after his
last remark. he smiled kindly and said:
WV N44aS ANU tlAe MIN SUBJECT on
WHICH you wished 20 speak? A favor you
wanted, was it not?"
1T is" the correspondent replied. "and
very great one. Il is no less than 20 ask
can your excellency obtain for me. as
journalist, an Interview with her majesty.
the queen regent
The premier opened his eyes with sur
prise and said:
What YOU ask Is Impossible. 7 quite
appreciate the good intentions you have.
but were the queen of Spain to grant one
interview & would be difficult 70 refuse
granting others. Her majesty has consist
entity refused 20 see journalists in inter
views for press purposes. and Is deter
mined to maintain that resolution"
The inevitable was accepted by the cor
respondent, who thanked the premier for
the kindness he had shown aim.
The premier listened with coutrsv dig
nifty. AID as the door TO which he led the
closed, the prime minister
- Spain remarked. May you go with

from SIMPSONS fleet to the effect that
he had landed marines NJ Caimanara and
that they wer" stu possession of

the naval officers here were inclined to ac-

They feel pride in the fact that the
navy. through its marine adjunct. had
earned the distinction Of being the frts
to occupy in force territory in Cuba. The
marines who effected this notable feat
were drawn. IT IS believed. from the en-
tire fleet. and were thoroughly capable

PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATS.
Working for Hni imOny. end Hope to
Win State Elections.

Philadelphia June 14.-Many Democrat
ic leaders. including both those of the
State organization and their late fac
tional opponents. have spoken in favor
of nominating the strongest available
candidate for governor and making the
fight on State issues. TO the exclusion of
national questions, except in the Con-
gressional elections. Belief is expressed
by local Democrats, irrespective of fac
ton. 5hat this course of campaign action
will be favored by an overwhelming ma
jority of the Altoona convention. and
that both ticket and platform will be
such as to ally the Independent Repub-
licans and anti-ma chine voters generally
with the Democracy.
In addition to talk among ex-Postmas-
ter General Wanamaker's followers and
other Republicans. to the effect that if
the present satisfactory outlook for AL
toona shall become reality they will
hope for the defeat of the William A.
Stone ticket by the Democratic NOM
inees, there are various personal move
ments of prominent Republicans from
which are drawn inferences that encour-
age the workers for Democratic har-
mony. Among these occurrences was a
ec,inG between Mir. Wanamaker and
Judge Gordon on Saturday. and an hours
talk between Secretary of the Common
wealth Martin and Mr.. Wanamaker yes
terday. The friends of these gentlemen
believe that the conferences related to
the Safe fight.
Ex-Congressm Howard Mutchler of
Northampton, who was one of the con-
ferees with Col. Guffey in New York
last week, came to this city yester-
day. Mr.. Mutchler. whose first choice
for governor has been Judge Scott, of
Easton. and who has been one of the
principal colleagues of Chairman Gar
man and Col. Guffey. said last evening:
Il have no doubt that Judge Gordon
will be nominated for governor. l be-
lieve that Col. Guffey will favor the
judges nomination on the ground that it
would win indep pandent Republican sup
port in addition to the Democratic vote.
Efforts are being made, with a good
prospect of success, TO harmoniZe the
conflicting party elements in Philadel-
phia. and l think that the progress in
this direction will be far enough to have
a good effecs on the convention

Camp Alger to Begin ShOrtly-TO
Rcdnce Forces at Tampa.

The board of which Assistant Surgeon
General Greenleaf is president. sent
with a view to obtaining new camps for
the Army, has returned to Washington.
The board visited Columbia and SOM
erville, 8. c.; Augusta, Columbus. Sa-
vannah and Brunswick, Ga. and Fer
nandina, Jacksonville and Miami, Fla.
These places were inspected as to the
number of troops that could be accom-
modated, transportation facilities, health
and water supply.
The facts gathered will be submitted TO-
morrow to Secretary Alger. who will de-
eide upon the points for new camps.
Early action is looked for.
The condition of affairs at Camp Alger
are said to be far from satisfactory. and
the detachment of troops from that camp.
II is understood, will begin as soon as pos
sible.
Complaints from the camp reach the
department daily. and Secretary Alger
has promised several commanding officers
to move their forces at an early day.
The forces at Tampa are also to be
greatly reduced.
Sttt-1l Oh tle DtaSI uTlSeu
troops at Camp Alger will soon be sent
South. preparatory to being embarked
for Porto Rico or Cuba.
Major Gen. Graham in command at the
camp, came to the city this morning ac-
companed by several aides. and conferred
with Gen. Alger relative to the proposed
movement.
Brig. Gen. Garrettson. of Ohio recent
ly appointed. will probably be given COM
mand of the troops that will be chosen to
compose the brigade.
Further than the fact that several bri-
gades will be sent South, no details of
the movement could be learned today.
Adjt. Gen. Corbin said that ne knew l. oh
ing of the rumored movement. but con-
cluded by saying: Il would not tell if 1
did know
Gen. Graham refused to discuss the
subject He said: You had better ask
the Secretary"
