NEW RENDEZVOUS CHOSEN.
Twenty Thousand Troops To he Assem-
bIed at Fernandina, Fla.


bled at Fernandina, Fla.
washington, June 17-Twenty thou
sand troops are to be assembled as
quickly as they can be. at Fernandina,
Fla, and be established close to the
ocean. The new rendezvous was Sc
lected by Secretary Alger. upon the rec
ommendation of the commission. which
recently visited the place. This loca-
ton is such that the entire camp can
be promptly isolated, should yellow
fever appear in the south. The troops
are destined for the Porto Rico expedi-
ton, which, it is now expected, will
start within ten days or two weeks.
The expedition to Porto Rico promises
not to be marred by the delays which
characterized the departure of the
troops from Tampa.
Quartermasters' stores, rifles and
small arms are moving toward the va
rious camps, and altogether the out
look is much more satisfactory than
IL has been since the beginning Of the
war. The only delay which now threat
ems is in the securing of a sufficient
number OF transports. Apparently the
resources of the Atlantic coast as re-
CARDS passenger ocean steamers have
been nearly exhausted. The depart
ment will persist In its efforts to Sc
cure American vessels, but the praba-
bility is that eventually United States
troops will have to sail in British
steamers

direction OF General Greely of the sig.
nal office. 1t was in charge of Captain
Joseph Maxfield. an experienced officer

usefulness and adaptability OF the ball
loon in time Of war in ascertaining the
movements and operations OF the enc
my and in reporting these results
promptly by means of telegraphic COM
munication TO the ground below to skill
full operators who in turn will transmit
the information to the commanding
generals. The two foreign balloons OBJ
tained by General Greedy in France and
which lately arrived in New York are
also now at Tampa and will be used

New York, June IA special from
Key West says: Junta advices from
the headquarters of the Cuban civil
government at La Cuanaja, in CANA
guey, report that more than 5000 Span
ish volunteers and many regulars from
Puerto Principe and Nuevitas garrsons
have deserted to the patriot army. The
immediate cause of desertion was the
fear OF the American fleet. Blanco's 8
general Castillianos, has removed most
of mis- artillery inland TO Puerto Prin-
cipe city. Santa Cruz del Sur has been
Invested by the Cubans, and commune
cation by sailboat has been established

American Saves spaniards.

MANILA, Dec. 2S.-A steamer which
has arrived here from Samar reports
that the Tagal insurgents have been in
possession of Kalbaen since Dec. II.
Business there is said to be entirely sus-
pended and all the Spaniards of the
vicinity have sought refuge in the house
OF man named Scott, an American.
The insurgents threatened to attack the
refugees, but refrained from doing so
because it was reported that American
soldiers were on their way there. One
Spaniard, however, was shot and an.
other was pluckily rescued by Scott,
who rode Is miles and demanded the
mans release in the face of an armed
mob of Tagals, who had been looting
the stores and houses, the leaders of the
insurgents being unable to control them.
All the efforts made to induce the Viz
ayas to join the revolution have been
fruitless.

VOLUNTEERS COMING HOME.

Work of Mastering Out Will Begin About
January 1.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The war de.
partment has not made definite plans
for the muster-out Of the $4,000 volun.
teers which was decided on at the cab.
met meeting Monday, but it is under
stood that this work will be pretty well
mapped out by the first Of the year.
The time required to complete the mus.
ter-out will depend on whether the de.
partment adopts the plan of a three
months furlough or an immediate dis.
charge with two months extra pay, as
suggested by Congressman Hull. It
has practically been decided to muster
out all the volunteers in the Philippines
as fast as they can be replaced with
regulars. The volunteers at this sta.
ton at present are: The Astor battery;
batteries A and D, California; A and
B, Utah, and First Wyoming artillery;
First California, First Colorado, First
Idaho, Twentieth Kansas. Thirteenth
Minnesota, First Montana, First Ne.

regiments at the Philippine station, it
is understood that the volunteer troops
IN the West Indies will be mustered

Passes on Seed Grain law

ST. PAUL, Dec. 2S.-The supreme court,
by Judge CAVITY, yesterday filed ae-
cision declaring that the act of the legis-
lature appropriating state funds for seed
grain loans is unconstitutional, because
1t appropriates public money for pri-
vate purpose The court however, does
not release borrowers from obligations
already incurred through these loans.
In recent years good many thousand
dollars have been loaned by the state in
this manner in cases where storm or
drouth prevented the saving of seed
grain in the usual way.

MISUNDERSTANDING YEAR.
RIG. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade.
Failures For the Week.

RIG. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade.
Failures For the Week.
NEW YORK, Dec. pr. G. Dun g.
90. S weekly review Of trade says: It
is year beyond parallel and goes to its
close with the biggest volume of bust
ness ever seen. Enormous transactions
at the stock exchange makes some differ
ence and heavy railroad earnings, but
when all the transporting and specula-
tive inter ests are eliminated there is
still a much larger business than in any
other month of any month. Last year
the exports were in volume greater than
in any previous month in the history Of
the country, but this month the three
weeks report shows an increase of 20
per cent against 8 per cent in imports,
which would indicate much more than
$7o,Ooo,00o excess of exports this month.
The payments through clearing houses
have been for the week 25.5
per cent greater than in 1892, and
for the month 17.S per cent last
year and 1874 per cent greater than
larger than in 1892. Until now no
greater volume of business has ever
been done i'll the history of this country
than in the closing month Of this year.
Shipments of wheat have been 81
$50, 10l bushels, flour included, at AT.
lantic ports, against 3,69S, 1921 last year,
although western receipts for three
weeks have been 25,OSS,32l bushels,
against lo,3oS,929 last year, a fact
which the believers in small crop may
well consider. Considering the enormous
exports from July to date, exceeding
last years, one can only wonder that
the outgo this year has been SO large
and the price has risen during the week
llac. Corn exports also have been
1891, 1886 bushels, against 4,54O,613 last
year, and for the month thus far H.
012,1 3S against 1O,s67, 407 last year. The
price has advanced about $3.50, but the
continued foreign demand is astonish-
ing.
Failures for the week have been s5S,
against 292 last year.

Aguinaldo,s Cabinet Resigns.

MANILA, Dec. 27,-The so-called con-
gress of the revolutionary government
of the Filipinos, which has been in ses-
sion for sometime at Malolos, has ad-
journed, owing to the difficulty of form
ing a constitution. The cabinet of
President Aguinaldo, appointed at Ba-
coor on July l, has resigned. General
Aguinaldo, who has been at Malolos,
came from there to Santa Anna, a
suburb of Manila. He then visited
Palermo, and now, it is reported, he has
gone to the old town of Cavite. Relia-
BILE advices say that while he was at
Palermo he was indefatigable in his
efforts to overcome the policy of the
militant factions, which is hostile to
the Americans. 1t is probable that his
influence will avail 20 avert trouble.
