WASHINGTON NEWS
Intense Activity in Military and
Naval Circles Caused by Com
nand to Advance.
GREAT MILITARY MOVEMENT
Eastern Cuba, Province of Santiago and
Porto Rico Will Be Objective Points
Governor Of Nebraska Authorized
to Raise Regiment.

Washington, May 3l.--When the cabi-
net adjourned today it was announced
that there was nothing OF interest that
could be given to the public. The best
information obtainable from other
sources, however, strongly indicates
that an important military movement,
in cooperation with the fleet under
Commodore Schley and allied with the
insurgent forces is on foot. Our forces
are to speedily capture the city of Santi-
ago de Cuba and the Spanish fleet; or de-
stroy both.
1t is intimated from high sources that
ON landing, the expedition now embark
ing at Key West may be divided, and
one division sent to cooperate with Ad-
miral Sampson against Porto Rico.
Intense Activity In Military and Naval
Circles.
The command to advance given yes
terday has infused intense activity into
every branch of the military and naval
circles. Reports were current that the
president told some callers that he ex-
pected Commodore Schley to attack
Admiral Cervera today in the Santiago
de Cuba harbor. Inquiry has failed to
substantiate this report To the con.
trary, those in u position to know the
general plans, stated the navy and army
would act together, and one branch OF
the service was not likely to strike de-
csive blow antil the other is ready to
cooperate. The concensus of opinion
is that the eastern end of Cuba, the
province of Santiago and Porto Rico,
will be among the objective points.
General Lee left Tampa last night for
Jacksonville, on the eastern side of the
Florida peninsula, to open headquarters
for the 7th army corps. The Inference
drawn is that Jacksonville will be made
the base of operations against Porto
Rico. 1t is distant only 1900 miles from
San Juan de Porto Rico on an air line.
Intimations are given out that the pres
ent military movement will be directed
against Porto Rico as well as eastern
Cuba.
Authorized to Raise Regiment Of Infantry
Today the secretary of war author
lied the governor of Nebraska to raise a
regiment of infantry for service under
the presidents call for $4,000 additional
volunteers. The governor had request.
ed authority to do this. The regiment
he proposes to tender the government
is being recruited with the expectation
that VIM. j. Bryan will be its command
ing officer

FRUIT STEAMER WRECKED.
Vessel Owned by Boston Company Ashore
on Eastern Cuba Fate Of Passengers
on1 0ror TTnknoun

N0A VAO" OAhAVWAs
Boston, Mass. May 31.-The Boston
Fruit company received a cablegram to-
day announcing that their large steamer
Belvidere, which left Jamaica Wednes-
day for Boston, is ashore on Cape Maysi,
eastern end of Cuba, and probably a
total wreck. The fate of the passengers
and crew is unknown, although it is
thought they were possibly rescued. The
company states that among the passen-
gers was Senior Capote, vice president of
the Cuban republic.
It is thought the Belvidere was
wrecked late Wednesday night. The
captain of the fruit company's steamer
Ethelred, who sighted the Belyidere
when passing the cape, says the latter
craft had been abandoned and the hull
was badly damaged. The after-part OF
the steamer was full of water.

When the congregation Of the Sec
ond Baptist Church, at Ninth and

place Of worship yesterday morning
they found that the heavy rain had
flooded the basement of the church,
extinguishing the fires under the heat

Rev. F. +. Briggs, pastor of the
church, was early on the scene He
stood on the steps of the church, and,
as the congregation came, he told them
not to go home. but to go to other
churches. Some of the men took their
wives to other churches, and then re-
turned to help in bailing out the water.
The work was completed before noon
and new fires started. In the after

ZIELIAN WANTS RELIEF.

A bill was introduced by Senator
George Gray, in the United States Sen
ate the 10th OF last month for the re-
lief Of Edgar zielian from penalties
exacted from Zielian by the United
States, to the amount of 1,605, for not
completing the Cedar Point light sta
tion, in the Chesapeake bay, and the
Reedy Island light station. in Della
ware, at the time specified in the con-
tract There is no doubt but that the
bill will pass. The delay was caused
by extraordinary high tides, storms,
freshets, extreme weather, unforeseen
difficulties and other causes over
which Zielian had no control.

WORDS OF COMMENDATIoN,

The recent assault in the city Of
Wilmington on two respectable citizens
by several tOughs has aroused great in
dignation, and the Evening Journal Of
Wednesday, February 16, contained a
strong, well-balanced editorial on the
matter II points out the evils caused
by well-dressed loafers in that city,
whose stock in trade seems to be 20
lounge in public places; to smile and
neer at passers-by; to ogle respect
able women, and do other acts equally
debasing and contemplate. The Jour
nal has opened war ON species OF
manhood that is a menace to the city'e
good name. The warning sounded
should be taken up by the efficient pO-
lice force. and IL they are in turn
backed by the city court, the we'll
dressed loafer win speedily come to an
end.-Delaware Ledger
