No Hurry About Havana.

There seems to be n disposition among
the military authorities to permit Cap
tain General Blanco to remain at Ha.
vana and fortify himself as much as he
likes 1t is evident they have conclud-
ed to starve him out. or at least to al
low him to remain undisturbed until
everything else in sight has been cap
tured and put under the United States
flag. 1t is argued that the capture of
Havana would cost an enormous sacri-
flee of life and require siege of lons
duration that would expose our soldiers
to most unwholesome and dangerous
climate, while so long as General
BlancO keeps his soldiers within the
Notifications of the city they are quite
rs harmless as If they had never come
to Cuba at all.
While 1t is impossible to obtain any
definite information from the war
board. those who are in the habit of
talking with the President on these sub.
jecis believe that our fleets are more
likely to attack Cadiz than Havana II

Puerto Rico falls.

John Malta, of this city. has the dis

the charge that made the vessel

GRAND DIRECTORS MEET
They Are Holding an Important ses.
sion at the Hotel Jermyn.

one of the periodical sessions of the
board of grand directors of the Penn
sylvania jurisdiction of the Young
Mems Institute is now in session at the
Jermyn. There are present: Grand
President Joseph IL. Keegan, of Nc
Donald. Pa. First Vice President John
+. Gibbons, of Plains; Second Vice
President NJ. j. Donahoe, of Scranton; !;
Secretary p. II. Mcguire, of Pittsburg;
Lecturer w. II. Gillespie, of Plttston;
Directors John J. Keogh, of New
York; T. =. Mccormick, of Forest City,
and J. f. Mcdonald, Of Carbondale.
The meetings began Saturday and
are being held in Room 203, most of the
day and evening being devoted to their
work. II is expected that the work
will be finished today or, at the far
thest tomorrow.
Encouraging reports were made by
Secretary Mcclure on the growth of
the order since the last meeting which
was held in Philadelphia three months
ago. There are now eighty councils in
the state, with a membership approach
ing 10000.
Among the transactions of the pres
ent meeting was the arrangement of
the details for the third Grand coun-
ell convention, to be held in Altoona
Aug. 16 next, which, it is thought, will
be the largest and most important con-
vention in the history of the organiza-
tion.
Plans for a lecture bureau were also
perfected and as soon as practicable
lecturers will be sent into various parts
of the jurisdiction to organize new
| councils and increase the membership
in those already organized.
The matter of enrolling the member.
ship of the Y. NJ. I. into military COM
| panies and offering their services to the
war department, came in for consider
| alton, but no definite action was taker
on it, for the reason that the supreme
council inaugurated the movement a:
a national affair and under the plar
| being pursued there is nothing for the
state board to do but to give it mora
| encouragement, and that was giveI
with a will.
