Narrowing Description OF DestitutiOn In
Cuba.
Tampa. Fla, June 3.-With the estab-
lishment of general army headquarters
at Tamra and with Gen. Miles on the
ground dire..:ng movements of the
army. affairs here have taken on a con-
sidera bic degree of activity, but no
embarkation of troops has as yet taken
place from this point. Although the
work of preparing the army for the
campaign continues with urabated
vigor. until the fate of the Spanish
fleet is settled no orders for the inva-
sion of Cuba are expected. Admiral
Cervera is apparently the unknown
quantity in this problem of war. When
he is disposed of it is probable the op-
portunity the army has SO long waited
for will come.
Gen. Miles yesterday made tour of
inspection of the various regular and
volunteer camps around Tampa. The
main volunteer camp at Palmetto
Beach was visited i'll the afternoon,
Gen. Miles reviewing brigade drill of
the Thirty-second Michigan and First
Florida regiments. Roosevelt's rough
riders, $50 men all told arrived in
Tampa last night and bivouaced in
the city. To-day the regiment will go
into camp west of the Tampa bay hotel
where the Third and Sixth regular cav
airy regiments are located. Both Col
Woods and Col. Roosevelt accompanied
the '"giment.
Col. Nrst, who was in charge of the
recent expedition on the steamer Flor
ida describes the condition of the wo-
men and children as pitiable in the ex-
treme. When the Florida reached
Point Banes. on the north coast of
Cuba, where the supplies of arms am
munition and provisions were landed,
it was met by crowd of perhaps 800
pacificos, many of the emaciated to
the last extremity Oy long privations.
Nearly half these unfortunates were
women, and scarcely one of them had
more than a single garment and that
in tatters. Many of the children were
absolutely naked. and their appeals
for food when the first boat from the
Florida landed on the beach were
heart-rending. AS far as possible the
crews of the Florida and her consort,
the Osceola, supplied the paciticos'
wants. even giving away their under

WERE LED BY a COWARD.
An Attempt to Overthrow the Govern
ment of San Domingo Ends In the Death
of Several of the Conspirators.

Cape Haitien, Haiti, June 4.-The
mystery surrounding the movements
of the Clyde line steamer Fanita is now
said to be explained. The reports of
an uprising in the republic of Santo
Domingo against the power = Presi-
Dent HeurreauX are correct. The in
itial blow was struck at Monte Cristo,
on the borders of Haiti. the nearest
Dominican port to Cape Haitien. 1t
would appear that the Fanita, instead
of having on board only II Dominicans,
proba bly, had $50 on board. The Fanita
arrived here on June l, half empty,
bringing from New York provisions
for the navy, which she landed at
Matthewton, Great Inagua, Bahama
Islands. She slipped away the same
night and went to Monte Cristo
The majority of the Dominicans
while here were shut up in the hold of
the Fanita Gen. Juan Jiminez and
Gen. Pablo Nillaaueva were on board.
The former has long been in the pub
lie eye in Santo Domingo as a desira-
Bile man for the presidency. Villa
nueva fought bravely against Presi-
ddent Herreaux's alleged usurpation
and was eXiled.
Friday afternoon the Dominican con-
sui here received a dispatch from Pres
ident Herreaux saying that an at
tempted revolution at Monte Cristo
had been defeated: that Gen. Jiminez
fed at the first fire of the government
troops, taking refuge on board the
Fanita, and that all the others who
landed, with the exception of three,
had been killed.
Two of the prisoners are Pablo Viii
lenueva, son of Gen. Nillenueva, and
! laborer named Calderon. They will be
executed with the other prisoners.
Gen. Morales and seven Dominicans
who shipped here are among the killed.
Another person was killed on board
the steamer Fan:ta, which put to sea
Immediately and escaped.
Gen. Jiminez was regarded as the
wheel horse of the revolution which
put Ilippolyte in power in Haiti, man
aging the financial end of the move
ment When he was here the last time
President HerreauX warned sim to
leave Dominica for his own safety.
President IIerreauX is said to have
recently resumed the arbitrary eXecu-
tion of his oppone nts: sometimes open
ly. sometimes stealthily. The tragic
disappearances of men of political
note have been frequent of late in
Dominica.

Naval OmciaIs Calculate that Hawaii Has
by This Time Become Ally of Our
Government.
Washington, June 3.-Naval otficialsi
now calculate that Hawaii has become
an ally of the United States in the
present war with Spain and at this
moment our government is responsible
for the protection of the Hawaiians
from the consequences of their friend
ship for us. According to the calclilao
tions of the officials of the navy de-
partment, the cruiser Charleston ar
rived at Honolulu last Saturday. She
has probably completed the taking
aboard of full coal supply and is now,
again on her way westward, bound for
the Philippines.
The coal was accumulated at Honolu<
lu by United States Consul General Hay
wood, and in allowing the Charleston
to take on a supply to carry on opera
tions against Spanish territory, tie;
government of Hawaii has cast away
all semblance of neutrality in the pres.
ent contest and has thrown in her for
tunes with the United States, for un-
less we protect her she is subject to
punishment at the hands of Spain<
Moreover the offense against neutrali-
tv is to be repeated, for it is expected
that yesterday the advance guard of
the transports carrying troops to MAJ
Mia were entering Honolulu harbor to
repleniSh their coal supply.

Tampa, Fla, May 31.-The quarter
masters and commissary departments
are having great difficulty in caring
for the tons of supplies of all kinds
that are being shipped here. The rail

stuff removed at once. Several tons of
spoiled meat have been pitched into
