General Wade In Command.

Tampa, Fla, May 9.-Major General
James F.. Wade is now in command OF
the army of invasion, 10y his right a
senior, displacing Major General w. r.
Shafter, heretofore in command. Or
ders to this effect were received from
Washington tonight. Their receipt ap-
parently reveals a curious oversight.
1t is the military law that when two
brigadier generals are made major
generals or the same day, that one
longest in service is the senior in ON
mand. regardless of who was the rank
ing rbrigadier general. This fact was
apparently lost sight of however, as
when General Shafter came to Tampa
from New Orleans, he, as ranking bri-
gadier general, assumed command of
the army here. General Wade taking
the infantry division. But when Cen
erals Shafter and Wade were promot-
ed to major generals last week, no
change was ordered in the command.
In years of service, General Wade
ranks General Shafter. The latter was
appointed lieutenant colonel of the
Forty-first infantry July 2Sth, 1866 and
was accepted January Goth 1867. Gen
eral Wade was appointed first lieuten-
ant of the Fourth Cavalry May 14th,
1861, and accepted June 4th, 1861. Cen
eral Wade's promotion not occurring
until a month later. They were made
major generals on the same day, May
3rd, 1898. but apparently not until to-
day was it discovered hat this fact
made General Wade the senior in COM
mand.

Effect on Europe OF the Battle OF

full truth about the success OF Ameri-
ca in the Philippines has produced a
curious effect in the house of commons.
1t is as if a new world-pOtent had ap-
peared, a new force upsetting all pre-
vious calculations as to the equilibrium
of nations. Members who were most
enthusiastic about the American cause
see that new developments are ahead.
The few Spanish sympathizers, on the
other hand, are appalled, at the evil
dence of SPANS impotence. while
proud of the valor displayed by indi-
vidual Spaniards. Others dwell upon
the emergence of a new naval power,
whose friendship will be vital to us

OF the Cuban Insurgents. A company
OF 100 United States troops from the
First regiment of infantry will accom-

sary, penetrate into the interior far

turned from Cuba. The Gussie has on
board between six and seven thousand
Springfield rifles, about 200, 900 rounds
Of ammunition and several hundred
boxes of provisions, consisting prInci-
pally of AIMED meats and hard tack.
III utmost secrecy is maintained re-
garding the point of landing, but in
view of Captain DorSt's recent landing
near Havana, where ne communicated
with the insurgent leader, General Del
gadO, it is believed that the expedition
will be headed for a point not far from
Havana. The Gussie had mounted on
her foredeck today, a one pound rapid
fire motion gun for protection. 1t is
understood however, that she will be
met at some point not far from Key
West by a gunboat from the American
blockading squadron and escorted to
the designated landing place.
The Whitney, the sister ship of the
Gussie, which sailed for Dry Tortugas
Saturday with two companies OF the
Fifth infantry, returned today. 1t is
intimated that she will follow the Gus
sic to Cuba rs soon as the arms, am
munition and supplies can be loaded.
Before a week has passed, il is be-
lieved that the insurgent leaders will
have been furnished with arms enough
for at least Is, 900 men, and with a base
a vigorous campaign against the Span
ish forces will be inaugurated.
Large % of powder and projec-
tiles for the blOckading squadron are
now arriving here. On Picnic island
there are twelve cars loaded with
dynamite torpedoes, powder and am
munition, which will soon be sent to
Key West, n as many more cars are
on the wharf racks. An extra heavy
guard has been placed around the cars
with orders to shoot any one attempt
ing to tamper with the seals.
Hundreds of carpenters are at work
today fitting up the big transports.
Heretofore the work has been rather
slow owing to the lack of material, but
it is believed row that all of the boats
here will be in readiness for loading
by Wednesday night.
