Twenty Thousand Troops To BE Assem-
bled at Fernandina, Fla.
Washington, June 16.-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
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.
Quartermast ers' stores, rifles and
small arms are moving toward the va
rious camps. and altogether the out
look is much more satisfactory than
1t 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
CARDS passenger ocean steamers have
been nearly exhausted. The depart
ment will persist in it's efforts to Sc
cure American vessels, but the prada
bility is that eventually United States
troops will have to sail in British
steamers

The dancing party given Friday evening
by Mrs. Tod Kincaid in honor OF Miss LIZ

neatly decorated and everything was care

served and Wesener's orchestra rendered
excellent music.
For several years past it has been the
custom of the small boys to go in swimming

have been threatened but none were mace

The residents of that vicinity mean to put
a stop to the practice. Other arrests my

By the decisive vote of 200 for to 81
against, the House Of Representatives on
on Wednesday passed the Newlands resolu-
ton providing for the annexation of Hawaii.
The affirmation vote was cast by 1872 re-
publicans, II democrats, 10 popuists and
and silver men; republicans and ss demo
Gratis and p0pulists voted no. This is a
decided victory for President Mckinley. 1t
is almost certain that the resolution will
pass the senate.
Senator Pritchard, of North Carolina, IN
an extended address to the U. s. Senate on
Wednesday, called the attention Of the
country to the benefits arising from republic
can rule. He said in part:
"Tae great change which has taken place
In the financial, commercial and economic
conditions of the country since the inaugu-
ration of republican president and the en-
actment of republican tariff law, directs
attention again to the benefits which have
invariably flowed from the administration
of the government by the great party of Lin
coin, Grant and Mckinley. Not in many
years, If ever, have the material prospects
of the United States been as bright as they
are today, and for this the wise, patriotic
legislation, framed and passed by the re-
publican party, is responsible.
"A prediction made public by the bureau
of statistics recently might we'll have been
received with amazement and incredulity by
those who have not followed carefully the
trend of our national trade during the year.
To suggest that the balance in trade in fav.
or of the United States for one year, much
less, would reach the prodigious sum of six
hundred millions, seemed like idle folly.
Never before in the history of the nation
had the favorable trade balance been even
half that much. And yet the prediction
was well founded, and unless the law of
probabilities fails, the trade balance which
for the ten months ending April 80, was
$5t4, 245 495, will be more than 5000, 900, 900
by June 80. The nearest approach to this
extraordinary record was. last year, when the
balance in our favor was $3.50, 263, 144.
"As result of the happy concurrence of
conditions it served to make memorable this
year of our Lord 1898. The volume of cash
sent over to US from Europe breaks all pre-
vious records. 1t is estimated that for the
full fiscal year the net amount of coin re-
ceived in partial settlement of our huge
merchandise will be at least S1OO, 600, 700
This is more than double any previous cash
balance for one year, the largest having
been $44, 653, 200 for the year 1879"

Norton is 40 years old, has been a SUI cess

Of the most effective speakers for thu state

he aspires.
Since the eighth congressional district

Knocked into the Air.

After badly damaging the fort the
Marblehead stood further in to shell the
earthworks and barracks at the west
end Of the harbor. She knocked them
into the air and when the Spaniards
fled from the fort they were shelled by
the st. Paul and driven into the bushes.
The Spaniards fired only five shots,
which did no damage. After the ships
stood out into the harbor the Spaniards
in the bush opened fire on the Marble
heads launch, which replied vigorously.
The Suwanee then turned back and
shelled the bushes, driving the Span
iards inland.
More and hotter fighting is expected
at Guantanamo. The Spaniards believe
that Skaters army will land there and
are rushing troops toward the bay from
