JUDGE w. X. McLAURIN.
Those Glover Resolutions Had
A Fine Effect on Him.

The Eeveille gives its unquali-
fed endorsement of the work
Judge McLaurin has done during
this term OF court. His charge to
the grand jury, the order he main.
tains in court, the manner In which
he has expedited business, the
rigid disciplining he has given TO
the blind tiger, have been worthy
the dignity and power of his posi-
ton. An occasion here during
Judge McLaurin's official term per-
haps merited all the criticism he
has received; but his record during
the last three terms of court has
been such as to more than make
reparatiOn for past shortcomings.
His judicial acts are marked by
fearlessness and justice. - Port

The Cry for an Extra Session.

S NJ aoH ~" EAstW SCsssOu.

Willingness to serve for just enough

There is an almost universal sen.
timent in favor of something being
done to save the College to the

seems likely this sentiment will
grow until SO strong it will be i'm.
possible for the Governor, who is
directly responsible for the crisis,
to resist the demand for the extra

well hesitate before he ever calls

beaten, as my sympathies are with them. :"
Continuing Lord Wolseley said: 1T is

would be badly beaten in the beginning

WASHINGTON, May A.-After the cab
met meeting today It was stated that no
news of any Importance had been received
from any quarter. The rumor current in
London that the American and Spanish
fleets had come together and that tf7e
Spaniards had been destroyed is not cred
tied by members of the cabinet, who appar-
emily have no reason to expect an early
engagement The fact, however. that the
government has no knowledge of the pres
emit whereabouts of Admiral Cervera's feet
leaves the question Of the time when the
Spanish may be overhauled matter of
doubt. News is eagerly awaited, and some
irritation is expressed that some Of the
comparatively large number Of swift scouts
which we have in the southern waters have
not been able to locate the enemy and bring
about collision between the fleets.

NEW YORK. May PA dispatch to the
Tribune from Newport News, Va. says:
The auxiliary cruiser Buffalo, formerly
the Ell Cid Of the Morgan line and later
the Nictheroy Of the Brazilian navy, will
arrive at the ship yard either Wednesday
night or Thursday morning. The officials
of the Newport News Shipbuilding AMI
Dry Dock Company have just received not
ice to this effect. 1t is possible that her
arrival may be delayed in case she ex-
pereiences rough weather.
When the Buffalo arrives she will be
stripped and converted from a dynamite
cruiser into an auxiliary cruiser. The
Navy Department has finally decided that
the Vesuvius can do all the dynamite work
necessary and the Buffalo can render bet
ter service with a battery of 12 five-inch
guns. In addition to this main battery,
the Buffalo will carry secondary battery
of ten six-pounders, two two-inch rapid
fire rifles and several Calling guns.
The armament of the Buffalo will be
much more powerful than of her sister
ships, the Dixie, the Yosemite, the Yankee
and the Prairie and she is already armored
and her decks are protected with greater
strength than the decks of these ships.

WASHINGTON, May A-Oflcial infor-
nation has been received at the Cuban le-
cation in this city Of the sailing last We'd
nesday from Tampa Of the first import
ant expedition by native Cubans. The ex-
petition. which sailed In the steamer Flo
rida was organized and commanded by
General Jose Morlet, whose preliminary re-
port. sent as the expedition sailed, has Just
been received here. This report states
that General Morlet has improved the OPP
portunity to recruit about 400 men. almost
all of whom have seen service under Gomez
Maceo and Garcia.
Every one of them knows the island
from one end to the other and is possessed
Of information regarding Spanish fortiii-
cations and camps. With the expedition
under General Morlet is no less a person
than General Julio Sanguilly whose re-
lease was wrung from Weyler during the
Cleveland administration.
The expedition was far more important
than the number Of men taken along would
indicate. The Florida carried a warlike
cargo. In the hold were piles Of boxes,
containing not less than 30 900 Springfield
rifles, with enough ammunition of the
right caliber to make them effective. There
were rapid-fire guns of the Hotchkiss type
for the insurgent artillery forces, for
whom they are destined to not only equip
$4,000 additional troops, but to supply his
own men with ammunition for which they
have been in such urgent need. He will
also be able to form and equip several bat
teries of light artillery with rapid-fre
guns-a weapon which has always proven
effective in the hands of the insurgents.
Besides the large consignment Of guns
and ammunition, the Florida carried sup
plies of food, clothing and medicine for
the insurgent army. There were also sew
enty-1ve mules for the formation of pack
trains to carry the supplies from the
coast
General Julio Sanguilly accompanies the
expedition as chief of staff and William

victims to disease in Cuba. I know from
experience in the province of Matanzas.
where there has been great suffering

of the Cubans and Spaniards in the armies
result from deplorabIe sanitary condi-
