THE UTMOST SECRECY

New York, May 30.-A special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
Orders have at last been forwarded
to Major General Shafter at Tampa to
embark the greater portion of his corps,
including all the regulars and a few of
the most efficient volunteer regiments,
on board the transports gathered at
that place and the aggressive military
movement which has been so frequently
predicted and as often delayed for one
cause or any other will be an accomp-
lished fact before the end of this week
The strongest units of Admiral Samp-
sons reorganized squadron will convoy
the expedition and cover it's landing at
q point now definitely designated
simultaneously the most rigid CEN
sorship of press dispatches that has so
far been undertaken by the govern
ment will be put into operation at
Tampa and Key West tonight and no
message relating to the movements of
troops or ships or in anyway speculat-
ing upon the expedition will be permit
ted on the wires. If this means of pre-
venting publication of information
which would be exceedingly valuable
to Spain is not fully successful, the CEN
sorship will be promptly extended to
the mails.
1t can be confidently asserted that
beyond the secretary of war and the
secretary of navy, the president will
permit no civilian to enjoy his conf
dence in this matter until a landing on
the foreign territory shall have been
actually accomplished, and General
Shafter himself will have sealed orders,
whose contents will be known only to
General Miles and General Corbin until
the expedition is safely at sea
Admiral SIMPSONS sole instructions
will he TO P1I9T6 the RXnnditiOn and tO
cooperate with General Shafter under
the latter's directions.

HABEAS CORPUS IN WAR.
Kentucky Parents Seek to Restrain a
Sons Ambition.

Lexington, KY, May 30.-Deputy
United States Marshal Mccarthy has
served a writ of habeaS corpus on Col.
E. H. Gather to compel the release of
George England, a private in the
Lebanon company. England's parents
say he is under age, and take this
method to keep him from going to war.
Col. Gather denied that he was hold
ing the man in duress, and wired the
Washington authorities to employ
Judge Simrall as counsel for him.
Col. Gather says England can leave
of his own will, and take chances on
whether the claim set up by his parents
is valid or whether he would be adj
judged deserter, having been muster
ed into the service. England was I'M
willing to take any such chance, and
was exceedingly anxious to go to the
front, so he left with his command.
The man, while under 81, is over IS
years old, and Col. Gather stated that,
in his opinion, the parents petition
would be overruled in the United States
court.
However 1t is an interesting point.

DEALT NOT IN FUTURES.
st. Louis Spectator Made Actual
Transactions.

st. Louis, May 30.-W. T. Haarsttck,
the young Spectator who ran the big
wheat corners in September and De-
cember last and was the heaviest pur-
chaser of wheat for May delivery this
year, has sold all his wheat and gone to
Europe 1t is supposed that he will
spend his time abroad in securing all
the information obtainable as to the
condition of the crop in European coun-
tries and use the data to advantage
upon his return.
For two consecutive years Haarstick
operated successfully on the bull side
of the market in this city. In connec-
ton with Corwin H. Spencer, he was
the purchaser of every bushel Of con-
tract wheat delivered in ST. Louis dur
ing September and December of last
year, and after the retirement of Spen-
Ger at the close of the big deal last De-
cember Haartstick operated alone in
May and took every bushel delivered
here.
In spite of the fact that the market
was completely cornered long before the
first of December, Haarstick announced
that he did not intend to squeeze the
shorts, as was done by the Letter crowd
in Chicago during that month, and
rather than let any man default on his
contract and pay an eXorD1tant price
for wheat he would extend the time 80
or even so days.
He said from the start that he was
not in the market as a Spectator; that
he wanted the wheat and not the diff
ference between the price he paid for
it and it's market price at delivery time
He stated plainly that he had bought
the wheat as simple commercial
transaction, believing that the Europe
an demand would run the price up to
figure that would make it highly prof
liable to buy here and sell across the
water, and that all he required of those
who sold to him was the actual wheat.
AS a result of the high prices that the
demand thus created gave the farmers
the receipts of wheat in this market
were relatively the heaviest for a num-
Der of years. The crop in Missouri and
Illinois was comparatively a failure,
and under normal conditions ST. Louis
would have received but little wheat
yet the receipts from the west by rail
were 1000 900 bushels heavier than in
1896 and nearly 3,000 900 than in 1895. A
considera BILE increase in the rail re-
ceipts from southwest Of the Mississippi
river was also shown.
Last year the young grain merchant
depended upon information concerning
the condition of the European crops
from his father, who was abroad. That
it was reliable was evidenced by the
fact that, although he purchased all
that was sold in this market he has
succeeded in marketing every busheI of
it before the new harvest begins this
year. He bought the greater part Of
the wheat at a low price and sold prac-
tically all of it for more than 81 bush
ell. He made a fortune out OF his deals.
