LEAVES THE WEATHER BUREAU.

Col. DunwOOdy's Departure After a
Service Of rwenty-Seven Years.
Col. H. H. C. Dunwoody severed his con-
nection with the weather bureau today for
the purpose OF assuming his military du-
ties as colonel of the new voluntary signal
corps. He has served for twenty-seyen
years with the weather bureau, and his
friends in that Office presented him with
a beautiful gold-mounted sword at the time
Of his leave-takinG.
This change deprives the weather bureau
Of one of its most valuable officers. Col.
Dunwoody has been factor in weather
| forecasting since the earliest days, when
| this work was' an incident in the military
service, and the facilities at hand for a
complete survey Of the entire meteoroIogi-
| cal field were few and unreliable. When
| first associated with Gen. Greely as prin-
ciral assistant he aided materially In the
development Of the work, and when the
bureau was transferred from the military
| to the civil branch Of the government he
was assigned to duty as assistant chief
In recognition OF hts Intelligent and zeal.
Gus labors to perfect the forecasts. ~
Gel. Dunwoody thus served for over n
quarter OF century, becoming within q
few years chief forecast Official exercts-
| ing general supervisions over the predic-
ton work Of the various officials detailed
for that service. His own capacity for es-
timatfng the various agencies making for
good or bad weather earned for him the
| reputation that he has long enjoyed of
being one of the very best forecastsrs in
| was such that he sought retirement rather
than publicity and his modesty has often
stood In the way Of his complete apprecia
ton by the Weather-studyfng public.

UNCERTAINTY AT TAMPA
Troops Have No idea When Cuban Inva
Gon Win Begin.
They Are Bec0afnE More Reconciled
- the Delay-Changes In
Assign menta.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
TAMPA. Fla. May 2S.-Complete uncer-
tainty prevails here regarding future move
ments and while the expedition to invade
Cuba is ready to go. the men perhaps are
better reconciled to staying here for q
while than they were.
Changes in the assignments and disposi-
tions of the troops prevent any thought of
stagnation. The Sth and list Regiments
United States Infantry, whose camps are
about two miles apart. are marching this
morning to change places The Florida
regiment marched about as far yesterday
to camp out beside the Georgians. The
n.en OF the Michigan regiment have work
ed harder than woodchoppers ever since
their arrival. srubbinG out palmetto roots
in their camp. They have won a reputation
for extraordinary industry and kept their
health and spirits good.
All the troops continue In good health;
enormous supplies of provisions are here.
So great is the jan Of freight of all sorts
council last night had to authorize one of
the railroad companies to lay track on
the streets to accommodate the cars.
!. 1t is not true that the commissary and
quartermaster departments are breaking
down. In view of the magnitude OF the
problem. they are solving 1t very well. No
hardships SO far of really serious char
acter have been suffered by any Of the
troops.
The list New York and I'd Massachusetts,
still up at Lakeland, have been somewhat
agitated by a report that they are to come
here at once in order to be in readiness
to go to Cuba. This report Is due to their
assignment to Gen. Skaters division.
Paymasters have arrived to pay of the
troops on the monthly basis still, although
the pay department understood they were
to be paid henceforth on the field service
plan Of once in two months. Ths 7olun-
teers will soon get their first government
pay.
Col. Curtis Guild has been appointed
ordnance officer of the 7th Army Corps.
This corps will include none but western
and southern volunteers, and the work Of
supplying 1t with arms and munitions will
be very great.

NO REPORT RECEIVED.
The Navy Department Can Say Moth.
ing About the Fleets.

The Navy Department Can Say Moth
ing About the Fleets.
The publication in the morning news
papers of a series of dispatches from the
press boats in the West Indies led to the
expectation that the Navy Department
itself would be in possession of interest
ing and important information relative to
the state of affairs In the West Indies.
The circulation of a number of rumors of
an extreme character running all the way
from a report Of the destruction Of Samp-
sons feet to the bombardment Of Santiago
by Sch:ey and the sinking Of three Spanish
ships added a good deal to interest the
early callers at the Navy Department, and
caused the officials to be besieged by many
anxious fnquirers.
Unfortunately. they had no news to give
out. and it was stated positively that the
only cable dispatches received over night
or during the morning were from Admiral
Dewey at Manila, by way of Heng Kong
While there Is natural lesirea !toe ifear
from the admiral, in view of the repeated
reports of the precarious conditions at
Manila, the main desire was for news from
the Spanish fleet, or from Schley or from
Sampson in the West Indies
To all inluirers. including a number of
senator's and representatives who called
upon him in relation to other matters in
business, Secretary Long was obliged to
return the same answer, namely that he
had heard nothing from the squadrons,
either our own or the Spanish.
1t is believed that the department has
taken steps to acquaint Sampson. and,
through him, Schley, with the newspaper
reports of the appearance of the Spanish
fleet off Port Limon. Costa Rica, and Of
the belief expressed by one of the British
correspondents, who seems to be we'll in
formed, that the Spanish squadron had
slipped away from Santiago, probably to-
ward Martinique.
Meanwhile. 1t Is apparent that there is q
growing feeling Of anxiety in the depart
ment, not because of any apprehension for
the safety of our own ships, but from fear
that Cervera has escaped from Santiago,
and that the country may be obliged to
suffer another week of narrowing suspense
before he Is located again.
Secretary Long went over to Camp Alger
this afternoon. Before going he stated
positively that nothing had yet been re-
ceived from Sch!ey or Sampson In regard
to the Spanish feet.
