unknown, has passed to the westward Of
this island,
Lee to Lead a Division in Cuba.

WASHINGTON, April l7.-Consul-Gen-
eral Fitzhugh Lee went to Richmond
yesterday to spend Sunday with his
family. Before leaving town he had a
long conference with Secretary OF War
Alger, and it was arranged that General
Lee should be commissioned Major
General and placed in command OF a
division of the army for the invasion of
Cuba The fact was also developed at
the conference that Assistant Secretary
of the Navy Theodore Roosevelt has
made application for appointment on
General Lees staff, and that it will be
acted upon favorably if Mr.. Roosevelt
does not withdraw it, which is not
likely. President Mckinley and Secre-
tary Long and others OF Mr. Roosevelt S
friends, who have been aware of his
intention, have advised him to abandon
it and to remain on duty as Assistant
Secretary of the Navy.
Mr. Roosevelt has been perhaps the
most enthusiastic and unwavering advo-
cate OF II vigorous war policy OF any of
the Administration officials, and as
Chairman OF the Naval Strategy Board
he has been especially efficient. He
woull no doubt make a brave and DASH
ing staff officer, but many Of his friends
think that there is work for him to do
in the Navy Department. OF greater i'm
portance to the Government than he
would be called upon to perform in the
field, especially in view OF the improba-
bility OF a long campaign in Cuba.

Care For Wounded Soldiers.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Presi.
dent has allotted $20O00 from the Lmer.
gency fund to the army Medical Depart
ment at the solicitation of Surgeon-Gen-
eral Sternberg. The sum will be ex.
pended in the purchase of medical fur
niture tor surgeons, for the hospitals,
surgical chests and instruments, blank
cts. mattres .es and hospital supplies.
Those who are wounded in Cuba will
be treated in the temporary hospitals
which will be established and as soon as
possible will be brought to this country.
The naval ambulance ship Solace will be
used for this purI os,. A hospital train
will run from Tampa to the various hos
pitals along the coast. There is large
hospital at Key West, where the facilities
will be increased by the erection OF
hospital tents. The naval hospitals along
the coast will be rendered accessible by
the hospital train, which will carry to
more distant points those who can stand
this journey. This will relieve the sur
geons in Cuba of all those cases which
may safely be brought home, and there
will be no overthrowing OF the hospitals
Of Florida.

GRAND JURY RESUMES TODAY

the Bank.
GRAND JURY RESUMES TODAY

The United States District Court
Grand Jury will reconvene in the Fed
eral building this morning and take uE
their weary task of resuming the taking
OF testimony in the case Of William N.
Boggs and the other looters OF the First
National Bank Of Dover
The members of the Grand Jury have
had slight rest from the intricacies OF
the case, but United States District At
torney Lewis c. Vandegrilt has been
working incessantly on the case.
The Grand Jury will consume at least
two more days before any indictments
are presented, and it is intimated that
some sensational features may develop
before that time.
What these will be is locked up in the
bosom of District Attorney Vandegrift
and all acquainted with that gentleman
know full we'll that nothing could be
cleaned from him until the time he
deems fit to expose them.
United States'Senator Richard Rollins
kenney and John F. Salisbury may
know Something Of this, but that is
not thought possible at the present time.
They may be informed before or after
the trials of Mr.. Boggs and others inter
ested in the looting Of the bank but the
probabilities are that it vii be after the
present cases are disposed OF.
Nothing appears to shake the non-
chalknce OF Mr.. Kenney but it is alleged
that there will be an awful tumble from
his seeming Indifference before many
moons have glided over his head.

The New York Coming Home.

SOUTHAMPTON, England April 17.-The
deepest interest and excitement were
manifest at the docks yesterday when
the American officials and a crowd OF
spectators witnessed one OF the grim
little Incidents which form the prelude
of war. 1t is usually regarded that a
floating palace is for gay holiday makers;
but today the steamship New York put
to sea on her gloomy journey, carrying
only her crew, coal, water ballast and
the good will OF the spectators.
One thought of the Nordenfeldt guns
which all last winter decorated the
mimic warship in the Covent Garden
ballroom till the last dance. when they
vanished to leappear mounted on a
Spanish battleship.
The American line steamer st. Louis
sailed for New York Yesterday on her
regular trip. The New York sailed at
3 p. m., in response to an urgent tele-
gram.

THE OFFICE BOY IS PRESENT
To All Inquiries Made the Off,
cials are Absent.
WHO DOES RUN THE RANCH.
The Officers of the Wilmington
Light, Heat and Power Company
Generally Away on Business
of Importance.

Frequent visits to the office OF the Will
mington Light, Heat and Power Com
pany, at No. 900! Market street, has al
ways resulted i'll the same manner dur
ing the past two weeks.
That is that the office boy is always
Gin" whilst the officers of the company,
Preston Lea and James w. Ponder, are
conspicuous by their absence.
Why this is thus ly has not as vet been
explained, but it is possibly due to the
fact that the charter Of the company his
again been buried in the grave, from
which it had been lesurrected by Willard
Salisbury 4 Company, after three long
years had elapsed.
1t is a we'll known fact that the char
ter of incorporation was granted to the
company in 1895 by the State Legisla-
ture; that it was resurrected and two
attempts made to sell it to the Whining
ton City Electric Light Company; that
the latter company refused both offers,
and that after these were refused Sauls-
bury 4 Company decided to run plant
of their own, and furnish light, heat and
power to customers at greatly reduced
prices.
This generous scheme on the part
OF Me.:srs. Salisbury, Lea and Ponder
has not yet materialized and the proba-
bilities now are that it never will.
The first move of these gentlemen
after the resurrection was to receive the
sanction OF the Street and Sewer Depart
ment to enable them to tear up certain
streets, in order to allow them to lay
pipes, etc.
This move was made one month ago,
but as the Street and Sewer Department
has not yet acted on the petition, and
SO, if is belicveved Mr.. Sauls-
bury 4 Co. will be kept from carrying
out their newly cherished plans and
knocking" out or endeavoring to
knock out the Wilmington City Electric
Light Company.
The office boy, however, it is said, is
still at the flee, while the officials are
too "busy," it is alleged, to put in an
appearance.
