TAMPA THE WAR CENTRE.
Base of Operations Transferred
From Key West.

! Tampa, Fla, April 26.-Or-
ders sent from Washington yester-
day transferred the war centre
from Key West to this city i.
Brigadier General Graham came
on the Mascotte from Key West
and was met by Colonel Fl. B,
Plant with a special train. They
were joined by Brigadier General
Wade and, accompanied by a num-
Der of high railroad and military
officials, they went into conference
at Tampa Bay Hotel. Two tele.-
graph operators connected them
directly with Washington, and the
War Department was at the other
end of the line. The result of the
conference makes Port Tampa the
temporary base of supplies and
point of embarkations. Key
West will hereafter be only a nas
val station, except as stress Of wal
may require the presence of troops
there to protect it.
Colonel Plant will turn over his
immense warehouses. A couple
of big four-masted schooncrs
which drifted into port have been
taken possession of and will be
used to transport horses.
General Graham and General
Wade said last night that they
knew nothing as to the date of
sailing or as to the port of entry
in Cuba. This much is certain,
there will be no attack upon Ha,
vana and no change in in the sta
tus of affairs until at least SO, 900
troops are ready to start for Cuba.

w. J BRYAN ON FUSION.

The following letter from Mr.
W. J. Bryan to Mr.. Josephus
Daniels, National Committeeman
from North Carolina, appears in
the Raleigh News and Observer
to-day:
"Owing to the pressure of other
engagements, my conference with
you at Washington was very
brief, and | write you now, lest l
may not have sufficiently %empha-
sized the Importance of co.,opera-
ton in North Carolina.
If the action of the party in
your State concerned the people
of your State only, [ would not
venture an opinion; but the action
of your State will have its influ-
ence on national politics, and will
help Or hinder that cooperation
upon which, must,ultimately win
the fight for bi-metallism.
Senators Jones and Butler, and
Tx Congressman Towne, acting for
the three committees, have called
upon the reform forces to unite
for the campaign of 1898, and in
my judgment that cooperation is
both wise and necessary. When
the Democratic party adopted the
Chicago platform and became the
champion of the great common
people, the gold Democrats de
serted the party, and gave direct
or indirect support to the Repub~
lien ticket. In the hour of need
the Populists and silver Republi-
cans came 10 the rescue. Shall we
repulse these friends now in order
to conciliatc gold Democrats II
the returning Democrats have beer
converted and are low in sympa-
thy with the Chicago platform,
they will favor such cooperation
as will give success to that plat
form; if they are only acting with
the party now in order to make a
future desertion more hurtful to
the party, they ought not to be
permitted to ALLEVIATE our real
friends.
Mr.. Carlisle. in 1873. denounced
the gold standard conspiracy as
the most gigantic crime Of all the
ages; IN the presence Of such a
conspiracy. personal considera~
tons should give way to patriots
ism. For the President to re-
ject the aid Of Democrats in
meeting the attack Of the Spanish
would be 40 greater blunder than
for the Democrats to refuse CO.
operation with Populists and sill
yer Republicans in overthrowing
foreign domination in our fnaus
cial affairs.
Cooperation is supported by
the three National organizations,
and q failure % carry out this
plan IN one State makes co-opera-
ton in other States more diff
cult. II our forces are to fight
zach other rather than the com-
mon enemy, let not the blame
rest upon those who are devoted
to Democracy as defined IN the
Chicago platform. Cooperation
requires charity and ~llberality of
opinion upon the part of all con
cerned, but i feel surethat aclear
realization of the evils of the
gold standard and 40 earnest de-
sire for the restoration of BIZ
metallism will harmonic all diff
ferences.
The Chicago platform grows
stronger every day, and our OPP
ponents can only hope for victory
through D division Of our forces.
Yours truly,
W. J. BRYAN.
