size of individual ships and armament,
to cope with any Spanish ships that
might be at large, and it entirely elm

attend the transporting of the army of
invasion to Cuba. Captain Taylor, who
commands the Indiana, is available as
commander of this squadron, although
it is undecided who will be its chief
The Indiana is one of the most formid-
able ships afloat, being regarded by
naval experts as superior as fighting
machine to the ships of the Terrible
class in the British navy. She has a
displacement of 102SS tons, and has a
main battery of 16 large guns, besides
many smaller rapid-fire and machine
guns in her secondary battery. Her
largest guns are of the 13-inch class,
four in number, mounted in turrets,
two forward and two aft.
The desirability of forming this fleet
was suggested by information, coming
through official channels, that Spanish
ships left Barcelona some days ago,
bound for Cuban waters.
The war department today gave out
an orticial list of the transports thus far
hired, in order to clear up erroneous re-
ports. The list shows so ships chartered
along the Atlantic coast and ten on
the Pacific. Those along the Atlantic
will be used in the main for embark
ing troops from Florida, and those on
the Pacific for the troops going to
Manila.

Kingston, Jamaica, June 1O).-In San
tiago de Cuba there are now about
90 900 Spanish soldiers chiefly infan-
try. but with a fair contingent of cav
airy and field artillery drawn from the
surrounding country. During the day
time the cavalry skirmish in the vicin-
ity of the city, returning at night to
barracks. During the last few days the
activity of the Spaniards has been par
ticularly noticeable. Oxen trains have
been making their way to the batteries,
attachments have been working in EN-
placements, and there have been other
signs showing that the Spaniards are
preparing a desperate resistance. Some
guns from Admiral Cervera's ships may
be moved to the forts.
The insurgents, about 5000 strong,
have taken a position on a mountain
to the westward. Two thousand in
surgents of this gathering are IN

the Initiative.

London, June 1O-In the house of
commons today NJ. j. Balfour, first
lord of the treasury and government
leader, replying to question as to
whether, ''in view of the condition of
the population of Cuba, and the suffer-

UNREST IN SPAIN.
Sagasta and His Party Will Be Swept
From Power

New York, June 1O.-A dispatch to
the World from Madrid says:
Queen Regent Christina is profoundly
alarmed and grieved at the news of the
war, particularly the reports from the
Philippines. Moreover, the popular
feeling against the government and all
existing institutions is assuming a dan
gerous phase.
Everybody believes that the Sagasta
cabinet and the Liberal party will soon
have to make way for CampoS, Silvela
and the Conservatives, who will take
the last stand for the defense of the
dynasty against the bitter rage of the
nation, making a pathetic appeal to
the pope and the continental powers of
Europe.
The startling telegram from Governor
General August caused the impression
that Manila either had surrendered al
ready or was on the eve of surrender
ing. The latest rumor is that General
August, in a fit of despair. tried to
commit suicide, but was prevented from
killing himself by Admiral Montejo
and the generals who wish to hold out.

MORE TROOPS TO TAMPA.
Rumored That Chickamauga Regi
ments Will Move.

ments VIII Move.
Chickamauga National Military Park,
June 1O.-Again rumors are flying that
a large portion of the volunteer army
here is to be transferred to Tampa or
some other point near the scene of ac-
ton. The rumors are neither denied
or confirmed at headquarters and it is
practically impossible to ascertain
whether or not they are based on facts.
Railroad men state positively that
they have been instructed to hold
enough cars here to move several thou
sand men, but this has been decided
upon by the army officials to meet pos
Sible emergency orders. The regiments
which are thoroughly equipped and
ready to move are the Eighth, Ninth,
Twelfth and Fourteenth New York,
First Pennsylvania, Eighth Massachu-
sets, Fourth and Sixteenth Pennsyl-
vania, First Ohio cavalry and Grigsby
Rough Riders. These commands are not
recruited up to full strength, but the
recruiting work is being finished at
Tampa
The new postoffice at Lyle, a rough
but commodious building, is being rush
ed through and will probably be COM
plete by tomorrow night. 1t is esti-
mated that 175.O00 letters, besides
thousands of packages, are handled
daily at the Lyle office. Thirteen men
work from 6 a. m. to IL p. m. distribut-
ing mail and the force Will be increased
next week.
Rations, supplies and equipments
continue to pour in. Nearly all the vol
unteers are uniformed and the work of
eQuipping them goes steadily on. There
is now no complaint about rations, all
the men seeming satisfied. A Chicago
firm furnishes the army with 1000
pounds of fresh beef daily. Major Rus
sell Harrison, of the inspector general
department, who spent yesterday at the
park, left last night for Tampa, where
he will remain some time.

THE CONVOY FLEET.
Sixteen Warships to Protect the
Transports.

Washington, June 1O.-Another for
midable American fleet has been as
sembled, consisting of 16 warships of
various classes, headed by the big bat
tleship Indiana, which, for all-round
effectiveness, stands at the head of the
navy. This fleet is assembled at Port
Tampa, and is to serve as a convoy for
the troop transports from that port.
The formation of this formidable con-
voy fleet is due to the reports, more or
less definite, that Spanish warships
were lurking between Florida and Cuba.
with a view of intercepting the troop
transports. In order to avoid the slight
est possibility of a dash by some Span
ish ships against the troop transports,
this new fleet of 16 warships was de-
termined upon.
Whether it was ordered from Wash
ington or was due to the precautionary
measures of the officials in command
in the south, is not disclosed. 1t is
known only that Commodore Hemey,
commander Of the navy base at Key
West, has brought together this pow

Coleman, Tex, June 10.-Last night at

SHOULD SUE FOR PEACE.
French and Austrian Papers Take
This View.

London, June 1.-THE continental
press is much occupied with the latest
phase of the war. The Vienna papers
think Spain should realize that the time
has come to sue for an honorable peace,
which she might not obtain later. The
Paris papers take much the same line,
but nowhere is there any confirmation
that either Spain or the powers have
yet taken action.
The Berlin papers discuss the prob
able danger for Europe arising from
Americas victory and predict a COM
plete change in American politics.
The Hamburger Nachricten expects
the closing of South American ports to
European commerce and advises the
Americans not to draw the bow too
tightly as regards Spain.

fare of all European states makes it

Is Not Positive.

Washington, June 10.-Assistant Sec

that it was probable that part of the
expedition to the Philippines would
leave San Francisco for Manila tOmor-
row. The expedition will consist of
about 5000 men and with it will be
taken a large quantity of ammunition
and supplies.
The first part of the expedition, which
is expected to leave tomorrow, will Ue
followed next week by the remainder,
so that by the Fourth of July the en-
tire expedition may either be landed
or in readiness to land near Manila.
