Washington, May 1O.-Secretnry Long
has received dispatch from the naval
attache at London confirming the cable
that Spanish Cape Verde feet Is at

Denver. May 1O.-A dispatch from
Washington to the News says:
The Navy Department sent a cipher
order to Key West this afternoon at s
O'Clock with Instructions to have 1t
sent to Admiral Sampson wherever he
might be.
The order conveyed the Information
than the Spanish squadron which had
sailed from the Cape Verde Islands on
April 27th. had returned to Cadix. and
ordered Sampson to keep his scouts on
the outlook for other Spanish vessels
and seize the same.
This means thnt Admiral Sampson
will sail at once for San Junn de Porto
Rico, demand Its surrender and II 1t
refuses start on the reduction OF Its
forts. As soon as this Is done. and the
town surrenders, which II must do
when Its fortifications nre destroyed.

the commanding officer delegated as
military governor.
The town Of San Juan will he refor-
tilted and heavy guns will be mounted.
Several warships will be kept In the
nelghborhood.
After the seizure OF Porto Rico. the
bulk OF Admiral Simpsons fleet will
return to Cuban waters and aid in the
transportation and conveying Of the
army OF invasion. In all likelihood the
work Of occupying Porto Rico and TAX
ing Havana will go on at the same
time.
One effect OF the retrca. OF the Span.
ish fleet has been to hasten even more
the preparations already under full
headway for the dispatching Of military
expeditions to Cuba. 1t also has
caused n complete change in the con-
centration plans. Time Is now be-
lieved TO be the great factor. There Is
no longer opportunity to indulge In ex-
tcnsive drilling and practice maneu-
vering. The regular army troops do
not need these. and are TO be thrown
mt once into the fray. Many OF the reg
iments OF the National Guard. which
arc entering the volunteer service. are
felt TO be sufficiently trained from a
military point Of view to follow the
regulars Immediately and the depart
ment indicated its purpose to-day OF
dispaiching these volunteer troops di-
rrc,ly to the Gulf coast for shipment
instead OF sending them to Chickamau-
ga. This disposition was shown by
the changes In the new orders issued
TO the troops. although there yet may
bc n return 10 the original program OF
concentration II the plans show signs
OF weakness rs they develop. The
Quartermaster general has already got
ten under charter twcnty-scvcn mcr-
chant steamers for the transportation
OF troops. and. roughly speaking. these
should carry about 2DOOO men. Others
are being procured as rapidly as pos
Sible.

Multicycle Race Success-This
Afternoons Events

The war fund bicycle races at Agricul-
tural park yesterday were exciting enough
to have raised the hair on the head of the
average mortal. but there were few NOR
tails present to become enthused. The races
were good and a success from the stand
point Of sport, but If the defense of Los
Angeles depended upon the gatling gun
that the proceeds obtained yesterday are
expected to purchase the Spanish invaders
would have softer snap than Dewey ei'-
countered in Manila bay. True to the

die, though, for the entire receipts did not
amount to more than $6S.50. The attend
ance was AT, of which ISL were dead-heads.
In spite of the fact that the crowd was
small the boys rode we'll and the finishes
were all exciting, one mile being made con-
siderably under the two minute mark.
The first race on the program was the
one mile novice The boys set a hot pace
at the start, but slowed down considerably
at the head of the back turn. They were
well punched in the stretch. and 1t looked
to be almost anybody's race, but H. r.
Messmore came from behind when within
a few yards of the tape and won easily by
about half q length. Fred Dee was second
and Henry Mondon third. Time, 2:26. While
the time was fair enough for novice race,
there was quite a stiff breeze blowing and
this considerably prevented the boys from

SUNSET CLUB
An Interesting Paper Read by W. G.
Patterson

A large meeting of the Sunset club was
held last evening at the Masion Doree.
The paper of the evening was read by Mr..
w. c. Patterson, on 1.-THE Manifest Des-
tiny of the United States" The basis OF
the essay was the recent discussion of a
possible Anglo-American alliance.
A shorter paper on the same subject,
treating 1t from a somewhat different point
of view was read by Mr.. T. A. Eisen and
the discussion was participated in by J..
M. Elliott Abbot Kinney, Rev. Burt Estes
Howard. Major Ben Truman and others.
The club decided to have high jinks at
Santa Monica canyon on July I'd for it's
next meeting at which time the most un-
conventional program imaginable will be
presented. 1t is probable that each men,
ber will be permitted to bring a guest on
that occasion.
1t was announced that J. w. Scott, who
was prominent member of the club and
who enlisted in the Seventh regiment when
the first call for troops was issued, had
been promoted to a lieutenancy. Resou-
tions of congratulation and regard were
unanimously adopted and were teegraphed
to Lieutenant Scott and the club drank his
health standing.

COFFEE, SANDWICHES, FRUIT
Southern Troops Will Receive Very
Substantial Reception

The concert room in the rear of the Hall
of Industry was as busy as beehive yes
terday afternoon with Industrious people
at work cutting bread and spre aiding sand
wiches for the regiments of southern
troops who are to pass through Los An
geles this morning about s oc.ocE. There
were representatives from Bartlett
Logan, Stanton, Kenesaw and Uncle Sam
Relief corps, Union circle 10, Ladies of the
G. A. R., and patriotic women not men,
bers of any organization, to the number
of fifty or more, with J. r. Newberry as
general manager and all-round assistant.
There were piles of bread rolls of butter
deviled ham, doughnuts, pickles, all of the
freshest and best, to satisfy the appetite
of hungry men. Forty-two boxes were
packed with sandwiches, ready to hand on
to the cars when the train arrives at River
station.
Hot coffee will be served on the train by
sixteen men detailed by Gen. Last, under
the supervision of Messrs. Newberry,
Francis, Keopfli and Zeehandelaar, who
will see that the sandwiches are properly
distributed. That the ladies met with a
generous response to their efforts will be
seen by the following list of donors: Gill

The mile open looked like gift to w. G.
Furman, but like the average good thing
the favorite was dumped and an outsider
won the race. 1t was due to Furman's be-
ing caught mapping, though, for while he
was watching a supposed dangerous op-
ponent, dark horse came up on the pole
and won out by half wheel. There was a
big field in the race, but Furman set the
pace after the first eighth and led all the
way around the circuit with the others
tackled on in bunch. Furman was lead
ing in the stretch by length or moro and
maintained this coming down the stretch.
He seemed to be apprehensive of Tabor or
McClintock, for he was continually turned
to his right to look back and see how near
they were to him. Bill failed to reckon on
Fred Rowan of Pasadena, but the young
ster was watching his chance and when
about twenty-five yards from the tape
came on the inside with burst of speed
and nipped Furman out by half a. wheel,
Furman finishing about two lengths ahead
Of McClintock, with Wisner fourth and
Bloch fifth; time, 2:24. This was poor time
for the mile open but no one but Furman
would set the pace and he did not exert
himself.
That silver cup will remain in Los An
geles for awhile and the Postal Telegraph
team have the honor of winning it in the
five-mile relay race against the California
District team of this city and the Western
Union team of Riverside There was con-
siderable rivalry Between the Western
Union and Postal teams, as the former had
won the last time they met at Riverside
The local boys laid it all over the wearers
of the orange, however, yesterday, scor-
ing twenty-five points to their five. One
of these points was taken off of the Postal
team on account of one Of their riders lay
ing up in the third mile and not riding it
out. The Riverside team were favorites
against the field and it looked as if they
would take a big part in the race as they
were a close second and third to Robinson
of the Postal team at the end of the first
mile, but after that they were never near.
as the Postal boys won first and second
places in every mile and got all three
places In the final mile. In the Postal team
were F. Y. Pearne, M. H. Robinson and
w. Brotherton; Riverside, r. C. Graham,
F. Borugh and R. Fl. Rothrock; California
District, Archie Greenstader, Peachy
Romina and Bob Walker. The time was
1906.
But three men started in the mile race
for members of the local fire department.
They were P. H. Sammon, John G. Todd
and G. w. Bright. Sammon was the old
est of the trio and rode in his white shirt
sleeves. Todd tried to ride in coat and
thinks 1t was an unwise move, while Bright
appeared in the department blue shirt
with the snowy big pearl buttons. Bright
and Todd set the pace with Sammons wab-
bling. The latter caught them in a short
time though and was second in the back

lead on the back turn, leaving Bright far
in the rear with Todd trying to hang on.
Sammons maintained his lead, however,
and won by couple of length, Todd Sec

made with the sextuplet at the pole. The
big machine forged ahead with the quad
second, the Orient tandem being the last
and the Rambler nearly on even terms
with the quad. Furman and Tabor caught
the quad, however, on the first turn but
when near the eighth pole managed to
slip through on the inside and then started
after the sextuplet, which was fully
twenty five yards ahead of them and going
like the wind. 1t was a beautiful race
down the back stretch with the tandem
gaining slowly. On the back turn the tan
dem caught the big machine and tackled on
but it was too late for when the stretch
was made they could not jump away from
the six-seated machine, the best they could
do being to hang on and come in a good
second the quad being third and the RAM
bier tandem fourth; time, 1:51R.
The slow race for 100 yards brought
number of starters and was won by Ralph
Hamlin; r. D. Osborn second; time, 5:35.
There was a big field in the two-mile
handicap but the handicapping had not
been we'll done as the scratch men were
given too heavy imposts. Furman was the
only scratch man who succeeded in catch
ing the bunch Of riders and he was gone
and had not strength left with which to
make his squirt when the final stretch was
reached. Hamlin won, Allen Nye second
c. e. Hassey third; time. 4.3s for the
scratch men. There was bad spill on the
back turn and Dean Cromwell George
Young, c. Hunter and another rider fell
in a head. Hunters right ear was badly
cut but the others received only a few
minor bruises and cuts.
Pools were to have been sold on the races
but Will Knippenberg, the starter pro-
tested as this would have been violation
of l.. A. W. rules, under whose sanction
the race was run, so the gambling was
stopped. The officials were: Judge, H. NJ
