Joined the Fleet While Sailors
Cheered Wildly.
OFF HAVANA, on board the dis
patch boat Dauntless, May 20 (via Key
West, Fla, June 2, 11:40 a. m.).-The
United States battleship Oregon joined
the fleet this morning, finishing the
most remarkable long distance cruise
in the history of modern ironclads.
Her reception by the fleet was worthy
of her achievement. Coming along at
a f1fteen-knot speed she swept through
the fleet to a point opposite the flag
ship.
The first news of the Oregon's ar
rival at Key West was brought to the
squadron by the Associated Press dis
patch boat soon after sunrise The
crews were on the lookout, and, when
almost noon, there doomed up a gray
hulk on the northwest horizon, there
was vigorous wigwagging from ship to
ship. Marine glasses showed the pom
derous outlines of the navy's crack
heavyweight, and showed also that she
carried "a bone in her teeth" as she
piled up the white water on each side
of her bow.
The Oregon had a decided list to port
from hastily filled bunkers that there
had not been time to trim since DASH
ing into Key West for fuel and out
again. But her short stay there spoke
volumes for the mechanism of a Pa
cific built ship, which could do q 1900
mile run, throw in fresh coal and steam
out to what might be a battle ground
without stopping to even tighten a
crank pin

that he determined upon that course
only a short time before his letter was
read to the convention. The withdrawal
Is interpreted to mean that Mr.. Wanna
maker has placed himself in position
to run as an independent candidate for
governor if he so elects. IIa has re-
peatedly, in his speeches, served notice
on the convention that if W. A. Stone
was nominated he would continue his
fight against the Quay organization.
The candidates and Chairman Whea-
ton met after the convs nt:on, and re-
elected John P. Elllin, of Indiana, chair
man of the state convention.

TAMPA, Fla, June 2.-The transport
with one Of the largest expeditions for
the arming and reinforcement of the
Cuban army ever sent out from Tampa,
returned here today.
The main features Of the Florida ex-
petition have been published, but adj
ditional details were learned today
from Capt. j. H. Dorst, who had charge
of the expedition. Although Spanish
soldiers were within three miles of the
landing place and two Spanish gun
boats were only five miles away, abso-
lutely no trouble was experienced in
landing the stores. The Spaniards I'M
doubtedly knew that stores and volun-
teers were being put on shore, but they
did not come near. There were no in
terruptions during the entire three days
the Florida spent in the harbor. The
transport was met by a crowd of per-
haps 300 paciflcoS, who had heard of
her coming and who assisted with an
eagerness that was almost pathetic in
unloading the cargo Of the Florida.
On the second day of the Florida's
stay in the harbor. good-sized body
OF Cuban insurgents, in command of
Gen. Rayo, appeared on the shore, and
the work Of unloading was then pushed
with the utmost vigor.
ARMY ACTIVITY.

headquarters at Tampa, and Maj. Gen.
Miles on the ground personally direct

this point. Although the work of pre-
pairing the army for the campaign con-
tinues with undated vigor until the
fate Of the powerful Spanish fleet is
settled no orders for the invasion of
Cuba are exp :cted. This afternoon Gen.
Miles reviewed a brigade drill of the
Thirty second Michigan and First
