Silvela refused to accept the olive branch

WHY THE GUSSIE FAILED
PRESS KEPT SPANIARDS INFORMED or
HER INTENTIONS.
Rushing Notifications at Tampa Bay in Order
to Protect the Vast Stores Of War
Material There,
Material There.

Tampa, Fla, May 1G.-The steamer
Gussie which sailed from Port TAMPA
last Tuesday, lad2 with arms, ammuni-
ton and supplies for the use of General
Gomez's army and with two crack COM
panies Of the First infantry, returned to-
day, bringing most of her cargo back
The story of the failure Of the expedi-
ton has already been told 1t is hardly
probable that another attempt will be
made TO land the supplies until the
whole expedition moves. The army Off
Gals are strongly inclined to lay the
blame of the failure of the Gussie eXpe-
dition to the wide publicity given to the
sailing The Spanish forces in Cuba
were undoubtedly kept fully posted on
every detail of the movement and made
preparations to meet the Gussie, when
she appeared off the coast. 1t Is lntlma-
ted that Il press censorship at Tampa
may be established, should movement
of troops take place from here IN the near
future. Had such course been pursued
before it is claimed that the chances OF
successful landing of the Gussie's sup
plies and placing them in the hands OF
the insurgents would have been greater.
Richard Harding Davis. the author
whose nomination as Assistant AdJutant
General of volunteers with the rank of
captain was recently confirmed has de-
clned to accept Mr.. Davis said that
while he deeply felt the honor conferred
upon him, yet the fact that he was en-
tirely ignorant of the duties of office and
the fact that there were many officers
in the regular army deserving of promo
ton. forced him to decline.
Governor Bl0xham, of Florida, and his
staff arrived in Tampa to-day, and the
work of forming the Florida troops iuto
regiment was begun Immediately The
five battalions will be cut down to three
and the number of troops to one thous-
and. The regiment will then be mustered
in and officers elected.

Ohio Cavalry Regiment of Volunteers.
was to-day attached to General Shafter's
staff.
The necessity of affording protection
to the enormous amount of coal, ammuni-
ton and government supplies of all
kinds ut Port Tampa and the dangerous
proximity of the Spanish fleet to Florida
waters have resulted in the pushing to
completion of the Notifications at Eg-
mont and Mullet Keys, commanding the
entrance to Tampa Bay. Several five
inch siege guns and seven inch Howit-
zers, to be placed in these Notifications,
have already arrived and others are on
the way There is also on hand a plen-
tiful supply of ammunition and torpedo
material The harbor from the entrance
to Port Tampa has been thoroughly
mapped out and the locations for torpe-
does and submarine mines decided upon.
Inside of few days the harbor viii

FIRE THIS MORNING.
Stable at the Good Shepherd Church
Rectory Burned.


Rectory Burned.
At 4 o'clock this morning the city was
aroused by an alarm of fire. turned in
from box 212.
A few minutes later it became a gener-
al alarm and then the signal for an in
creased of pressure Of water was given.
The iremen had responded immediate
~ to the call and found the stable of Rev.
DR.. |. Mex Pittinger, rector of the
Church of the Good Shepherd in flames.
1t was too late to save it and their ef-
forts were directed to preventing spread
Of the confagration.
The stable is on the corner of Morgan
and Mcdowell streets, just III the rear
of the rectory and at one time that build
ing was in danger, the wind being from
the south. Fortunately there was moth
ing in the stable except ii carriage, har-
ness, feed, garden tools, etc. These,
with the building were burned. The loss
will not exceed 5000.
1t is not known how the fire originated,
but it is believed that it must have been
caused by rats or perhaps by some one
sleeping in it. There was a pile Of hay
between the building and the fence and
it is Just possible that some one, passing
along the street carelessly threw light
ed match or cigarette over and thus
started the flames.
The alarm caused quite number Of
people to gather at the scene Of the fire
and was to them Il cause of rejoicing that
it was an clubhouse and not the rectory
as was at first feared.
Dir. Pittinger was the first to discover
the fire. He was sleeping near an open
window and was aroused by the crack
ling of the flames. About the same time
negro man passing saw it and set up
the alarm.
