Washington May 10--It was suggested by
some members OF the War Board to-day that
there was a possibility that the Spanish squad

trary to the common understanding the Suez
Canal is open to warships Of belligerent Powers.

course they would have 4 long start ~ any

San Francisco. May 1O--The work OF dis
charging the cargo OF the City Of Picking was
begun Immediately after her arrival. and will
soon be completed. She Will be locked. cleaned
and turned over 10 the Government. when she
will be prepared for a transport. She
will be able TO carry at least 1900 soldiers. and
in addition about 900 tons of freight. BY Sat
urday it is expected she can be loaded and
ready to sail. Captain Smith and his officers
Will remain in charge Of the steamship.
While in Hong Kong a cable message was re-
ceived from Washington ordering the American
Consul to detain the Picking. but Admiral Dewey
cabled back 10 the effect that she would prob
ably be Of more here. and that II vessels
were required Trey could be bought in Hong
Kong. After some little correspondence the
Picking was allowed TO sail. with orders to make
the best time possible.

the militia, attended a meeting Of the
committee at Boston last week. There
are many things the committee will
ask the legislature to alter one of
which will be the more ready payment
of the troops for services at camp and
upon other tours of state duty. An
other change Is am increase in the rank
Of the regirnental adjutant. At pres
ent the officer ranks as a first leuten-
ant and, on account Of this, there have
been clashes Of authority between ad-
jutants and company commanders who
rank above him. Maj. Fairbanks will
endeavor to have the adjutants rank as
captains.
The regular meeting OF the Wellington
Rifles was held Friday night, and was
one of the hottest ever held by the COM
pany. There was considerable heated
discussion. OF the six applicants for
membership, r. A. Hakinson, W. o.
Hubbard and w. A. Beaudette were
elected to membership. They will be
mustered into the company Tuesday
night upon the visit of Lieut.. A G. Ed
son, .paynnaster of the I'd regiment. The
election Of these men brings the strength
Of the company up to 50, 50 men and
two officers. Lieut. E. B. Fish read an
order from Col. Clark, calling for the
election of a captain to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation Of Capt. Has
sam. The election will be held next
Friday night and will be presided over
by Major Fairbanks.
1t is likely the members of the com
pany will hold q. caucus previous to the
election, but the question Of who will be
the next commander of the company Is
practically settled. 1t Will be Lieut. @.
S. Holden. Lieut.. q. B. Fish, senior
lieutenant has been mentioned by peo-
pie outside of the company, but the
members of the company have never
seriously considered him as candidate
Lieut.. Fish, although a thorough sol
der, has never enjoyed the confidence
of the members of the company since
his election to the heutenancy. His
attitude on the basket ball question was
not seriously felt by the men, although
they would have appreciated his favor
ing the sport. In speaking with g. Spy
man Saturday. Lieut.. Fish in answer to
a question, whether or not he was
candidate, replied that Of course he was
a. candidate, but not any more so than
he has been for any other office. He
said he would ask no man to vote for
him. The militia was his fun, and when
he had to canvass to secure position,
the work ceased to be fun and he would
get out, Lieut.. Fish will not ask for votes,
and he will be Jumped by Second Lieut..
Charles S. Holden. The vacancy of
second lieutenant will be filled by the
election of Sergt. H. T. Gray, who has
reconsidered his decision of last week
and will be a candidate. Sergt- Grays
promotion win be unanimous.
