SECOND CALL FOR TROOPS.
Reports Received show That the New Or.
ganizatIons of Regiments Is Fairly
Under Way.

WASHINGTON, June 25-Reports re-
ceived at the adjutant generals office
of the war department shows that the
formation of the new organizations of
regiments, battaliOns, etc, under the
presidents second call for troops by
the mastering in of volunteers is now
fairly under way. In most of the
states the probability is all the men
necessary for the new organizations
should be obtained in two or three
weeks from the present time, when
the regiments and battalions will be
ready for orders from the commanding
general of the army. The rendezvous
ing points for the men in the states
have been designated by the governors
and, it is understood here, that they
will be the same as for the troops
raised under the first call for l25, 200
men. At the same time the recruiting
for filling existing organizations to
their maximum strength is progress
ing rapidly and daily detachments
are being sent to the mobilizing
points Very few applications were
made to Secre tary Alger for changes
in the appointment as originally an
nounced by the department, which
was a source of so much annoyance
and trouble to the officials under the
fret call

A SPECTACULAR DISPLAY.
Navy OnicIRls DO Not Believe the CadlH
Fleet WIN Get Any Farther East
Than Entrance to Suez Canal

WASHINGTON, June 20. That the Ca
diz heeC is proceeding eastward is no
longer doubted. Trusted agents of the
government on the shores of the Medi-
terraneau are watching every move
ment of the ships and availing them
selves of every reliable source of in
formation. So, when word cane from
one of these agents yesterday that the
squadron was sighted off Pantellera,
the officials were bound to accept the
statement as beyond question. BY
the reckoning of the naval officers,
the squadron should be now nearing
Gambia, south of Greece. AT the rate
they are progressing, the squadron
should reach Port Said, at the en-
trance to the Suez canal, about Mon
day or Tuesday. Beyond this point
it is not believed that the squadron
will go, for it is confidently felt that
the whole Spanish movement is
nothing more than spectacular dis
play, gotten up to meet the irresisti-
BILE demand of the Spanish populace
and particularly the clerical party,
that something should be done tn save
the Philippines to Spain.

Hanna Men In Ohio state Convention Re.
f@so to Consider Removag of tho DOlt-
ing National Committeeman,

COLUMBUS, O., June 2S.-The repub-
licau state convention was record
breaker. Its session lasted less than
two hours and most of that time was
devoted to unseating small minority
of dissenters. After the contests were
disposed of everything was unanimous
and by reclamation. Five nomina-
tions were made within 10 minutes,
including the presentation and the
seconding speeches. The delegates,
after the convention perfected its per-
manent organization, were all Hanna
men. The party machinery is entirely
in the hands of the friends of Senator
Hanna for the NEXT year. While in such
full sway there were some who wanted
to remove Charles L. Kurtz as the
Ohio member of the republican ma
tional committee, but Senator Hannas
closest friends prevented even con-
sideration of such action. The resolu-
tions laud McKinleys administration,
reatiirm the St. Louis platform and i'm
dorse every act of republicans in con-
gress on present war measures. Re-
garding the Hawaiian question tho
convention declared;
We regret the enforced absence from this
convention OF Senators Foraker and Hanna,
but we heartily approve OF their determination
to stay In Washington until the will OF the
American people is carried out and our flag
once more floats over the Hawaiian slands
never again to bo hauled down

SHELTER FOR OUR SHIPS.
Disappearance OF Spanish Soldiers from
Vicinity of Guantanamo Bay Is a Good
Thing for SIMPSONS Fleet.

WASHINGTON, June 25-One good
effect of the landing at Baiquiri will be
to distract the attention of the Spanish

mines having been probably all re-
moved and the forts that commanded
the lower harbor having been silenced,
with the disappearance of the Span
iards from the country surrounding the
bay the navy will be in full possession
of what it has long wished for
absolutely safe and landlocked harbor
in which all of SIMPSONS fleet and
the transports as we'll can find refuge
from any West Indian hurricanes.
