Washington, May 20.-General Miles
had another long consultation today
with Secretary Long, and these repeat
ed meetings are construed here to mean
that a point has been reached in the
campaign where the army finds 1t
necessary to call upon the navy for
conveys to take the troops to Cuba 1t
is realized that this work is extra haZ-
ardous at present. Conveys always are
exposed 10 destruction at the hands of
a determined enemy, and with squad
ron of fleet Spanish cruisers and tor
pedo gunboats of great speed lying in
wait somewhere near Cuba, nothing
but the most formidable convoy, such
as would be afforded by all of Samp-
sons and Schleys irOnclads, save the
monitors, would suffice to give a rea-
sonable degree of protection against
attack.
There are indications that the mill
tary expedition will make its real start
from Key West, unless the atmosphere
clears through the destruction or dis
appearance from Cuban waters of the
Spanish fleet. If the start is made from
Port Tampa the ships, with their heavy
loads of troops and stores, will be ex-
posed to attack almost so hours, not
allowing for the possibility of spending
much additional time off the Cuban
coast waiting for an opportunity to
land. On the other hand, if the start
is made from Key West the final start
ing of the Journey will be reduced to
the daylight hours of one day.

COMMENT IN LONDON.
Englishmen Think the Situation Is
Growing Interesting.


London, May 21.-AdmiraI Cervera's
maneuver excites the keenest specula-
ton here. In some quarters the whole
story is regarded as ruse. designed to
hurry up the Spanish government, and
the spreading of it broadcast is sup
posed to hide sinister motives. The bulk
of opinion, however, regards the news
as authentic, and is inclined to the be-
lief that Admiral Cervera we'll knows
reinforcement is at hand, and that 9TH
erwise he would not have risked being
bottled up at Santiago.
The Daily News directs attention to
the great secrecy preserved about what
is happening at the Canaries. where
the cables have been seized and CEN
sorshiD is severe. It says:
The question now arises whether the
reserve squadron from CadiZ is not al
ready half way across the Atlantic.
One thing seems clear. The Spanish
StrategistS have a prearranged plan of
operation, while the Americans have
been forced by circumstances into a de-
fensive attitude. However, if Carvera
is in Santiago de Cuba, it ought not
to be difficult for Admiral Sampson to
find him. Thus is is possible that there
may be big fight within a few days"
The Daily Chronicle, on the other
hand. thinks Admiral Cervera has
walked into a trap from which he can
not escape, thanks, partly, to the i'm
brOlity of the Spanish government in
publishing his dispatch, which was
doubtless done to avert domestic evils
The Daily Chronicle concludes: las
to limited negotiations by Spain with
the powers, the best answer 20 them
would be an American victory, which
we hope to record Monday or Tuesday,
The Times says editorially: Whether
publication will assist the success Of
Admiral Cervera's operations is ques-
tionable. but it has undoubtedly helped
the new ministers to make a favorable
debut in the cOrtes. Certainly the sit
uatiOn has increased in interest"

they broke down and as the train
pulled away from the station, their
[ eyes filed up and the brave cheers they
would have uttered ended in something
which sounded like a sob.
The vast cOncourse which assembled
to witness the departure, waved their
flags, the children cheered, men and
women waved their hands and then
the train vanished.
The volunteers had gone.
1t was great reception the men
received when they came down the
street from Camp Kent. The morning
papers had announced the place of de-
barkation from the street cars and
when the troops arrived there it was
with difficulty they were enabled to get
off and form their lines in the street.
The streets were black with people
Companies A, 3 and D of the National
Guard were there and assisted in max
ing room for the men. The old SOL
diers, about so strong, were there also
and their presence seemed to act as a
sort of inspiration to the men, They
cheered the old fellows Justly and We're
cheered heartily in return.

Route
SETTLING MASS OF PEOPLE
AT THE RAILWAY STATION
Touching Parting Scenes Enacted Before the Volunteers
Left.

Amid the plaudits of thousands,
with numerous bands playing martial
music, while numberless men, women
and children waved flags and cheered
themselves hoarse, the two batteries of
Utah volunteers left the city yesterday
for San Francisco, where they viii be
equipped and drilled preparatory to
their departure for the Philippine is
lands.
It was a great day in the history of
the city. There have been times when
the crowds were larger and the decora-
tions f1uttered to the breeze in greater
quantity, but never before has there
been behind the movement the senti-
ment which existed yesterday.
For it was a parting of mothers and
fathers with sons; of sisters with
brothers; of wives with husbands and
of lovers with sweethearts. 1t was a
separation of friends from friends,
where strong men clasped hands and
babe each other God-speed. There was
a world of pathos in the actions of
those who babe the soldier boys fare
well. which bravely spoken words could
iii conceal. Until other men go forth
to stand for the grandeur and dignity
=
freedom Salt Lake will never see an
other scene like it.
Tears stood in the eyes of the de-
parting and those who remained be-
hind, when the hour came to speak the
final words Of parting. But let those
who would speak of manly weakness
in that hour hold their peace, for the
moisture which dimmed the eyes of
those who Wore the blue was not that
which comes from fear of the future
towards never weep. 1t is only the
brave. the strong, the true who possess
the finer feelings sufficient TO cause the
mists of love TO dim the vision Some
one wrote a simple little poem concern
ing a brave man who fen at Gettys-
burg which told the story. He was
found on his knees weeping and pray
ing for those who were left behind. In
the terrible struggle at the angle of
the wall where Picket's Virginians
grappled with HancOck's grand war
riors, he went down. And the poet
sums all of the tale up in these lines:
And none were drawer in the strife
Than he who breathed the prayer:
oh. Father, guard the soldiers wife
And for his children care
That feeling was predominant every
where. There were those, of course,
who thought it the more manly to
suppress all indications of feeling, but
when the supreme moment came, when
the cry "all aboard" sounded, then

Story About e Coaling Station For
French Fleet.

Washington. May 2O-Omcials here
dismiss as pure invention, the story
coming from Montreal that former
Minister Polo has succeeded in securing
for Spain a cOaling station on one of
the French islands OF St Pierre and
Miquelon. off the Newfoundland coast
At the French embassy the report is
treated with indignant contempt, as
the French decree of neutrality is bind
ing on the French government of these
islands and effectually prevents the
granting Of such exceptional privileges
as coaIing stations. 1t is not generally
known that France possesses these
small islands in the North Atlantic
When the French gave up Canada and
Newfoundland to the British, it was
provided in the treaty of Utrecht that
France should retain the two islands
of st. Pierre and MiquelOn, which have
since been utilized as cOaling stations
for French steamers

Administration Thinks the Spaniards
Are In a Tran.

Washington, May 2O.-All of the news
that was given out today at the navy
department was comprised in the one
short bulletin posted at the close of the
day, stating that the department had
information, believed TO be correct,
that Admiral CerverO with his flying
squadron, was at Santiago de Cuba.
This went to confirm the newspaper re-
ports and also the Madrid cablegram
published this morning. the latter a
rather unusual circumstance, for the
Spanish bulletins have been notably
deceptive ever since the flying squadron
left Cadiz.
Accepting this statement as correct.
1t indicates that there il little prob
ability of a hostile meeting between
Sampson and Schley and Admiral Ger
vera Immediately. Looking over the
charts of Santiago harbor, the war de-
partment soon discovered that the place
would be a veritable rat trap for the
Spaniards, with its narrow entrance,
IN which a single American monitor
could blow up the whole Spanish fleet.

Madrid, May 2O.-At 10 o'clock last
evening the minister of marine, Cap
tain Aunon, received a dispatch from
Admiral Cervera, in command of the
Cape Verde squadron of the Spanish
fleet. 1t read:
Santiago de Cuba, May 19.-This
morning have fithout incident en-
tered this port accompanied by squad
ron. CERVERA."
The minister of marine Immediately
went to the residence of the premier,
Senior Sagasta, and communicated this
information. He then proceeded to
the palace for the purpose of informing
the queen regent, but her majesty had
already retired and the news was con-
veyed to her by the infanta Isabel.
Captain Aunon then went to the
admiralty and cabled mis- congratula-
tions to Admiral Cervera on his arrival
at Santiago de Cuba.
In an interview today the minister of
marine is quoted as saying: I am
greatly rejoiced at the safe arrival of
the Spanish fleet at Santiago de Cuba
1t is an immense triumph for the Span
ish navy. The sailors who executed
the movement and those who planned it
are worthy of all praise"
Continuing, the minister said he
congratulated himself upon the first
event happening in his administration
auguring so we'll for the navy and for
the country
