TO PROMOTE HARMONY
Leader Davis Calls Upon
Mayor Hoos in Regard
to Street Paw
ing.

Leader Robert Davis visited Mayor Hoo4
today. Mr.. Davis was shown into the
Mayors private office. The doors were
closed and admission was refused every
one. This is Mr. Davis first visit since
Mayor Hoos made his appointments on
April %. No sooner had Mr.. Davis dis
appearded in the Mayors sanctum than
the gossips got in the deadly work For
the half hour the gentlemen were
together, everyone in the City Hail was
speculating about the object Of the visit.
OF course the first report was that MIR.
Davis had called on he Mayor for the pur-
pose of announcing his candidacy for
the City Coilectorship. Mayor Hoos de-
ze1ared fllet tife si5BJecf was not nzentf0n-
ed. SO far as the Mayor knows there ara
only two candidates for the CollectorshiD.
They are Assistant Postmaster higgins
and Street and Water Commissioners
Heintze. Leader Davis is regarded as the
dark horse in the race.
The Mayor sent for Mr.. Davis to talk
about water department affairs. The
party leader said he would do all in his
power to induce the Street and Water
Commissioners to make reductions in the
working forces Public Improvements

The Mayor requested his visitor to adj
wise the Street and Water Board to pave
all the short blocks in the city The city
owns thousands of good paving blocks.
The Mayor says he will recommend the
release of the special street money If
the Street and Water Board will spend it
in a judicieus way, making needed i'm
provements.
All the streets on the south of Grand
street, between Henderson street and Jer-

that Mr.. Davis visit to the Mayor will
result in a restoration of harmony be-
tween His Honor and the Street and

WASHINGTON. May 20, 1S9s.-If the
Spanish fleet is at Santiago de Cuba TIE
fact is not known officially TO the Navy
Department this morning. notwithstafd-
ing the fact that the Department has
been using all OF the machinery Of the
consular service in addition to the ser
vices of numerous scouting vessels to get
and keep track of the elusive foe-
The War Board went into Sessions early
in the day probably to consider and
weigh the newspaper reports as to the
movements of the Spanish fleet. The fact
that he first report on that point came
from Madrid was regared in itself as a
suspicious circumstances, for it is hardly
to be supposed that the Spaniards are
such simple strate< 4sts as to advise US of
their plans in tb manner.
The other report regarded as confirm
atory of the Madrid cable. namely, that
from the steamer Adula, upon close read
ing. failed to Indicate whether the war
ships seen from that vessel were Amer
lean or Spanish. Altogether the gener-
al belief at. the Department was that the
whereabouts of the Spaniards are still
doubtful.
General Miles had another long consul
taltion this morning with Secretary Long
and these repeated meetings are con-
strued here to mean that point has
been reached in the campaign where the
army finds it necessary to call upon the
navy for conveys to take troops to Cuba.
It is realized that this work is extra haz-
ardous at present. Conveys always are
exposed to destruction at the hands of
a determined enemy, and with a squad
ron of feet Spanish cruisers and tor
pedo gunboats of great speed lying in
wait somewhere near Cuba, nothing but
the most formidable convoy such as
would be afforded by all of SIMPSONS
and SchIey's ironclads save the moni-
tors would suffice to givxe a reasonable
degree of protection against attack.
There was indications that the military
expedition will make it's real start from
Key West unless the atmosphere clears
through the destruction or disappearance
from Cuban waters of the Spanish fleet.
If the start is made from Port Tampa
the ships with their heavy loads and troops
and stores will be exposed to attack al
most thirty hours, not allowing for the
possibility of spending much addition time
off the Cuban coast waiting for an op-
portunbty to land. On the other hand if
the start is made from Key West the
final stage of the journey will be re-
duced to the daylight hours Of one day.
While the reports from Madrid that the
Spanish squadron is at Santiago are re-
ceived with some misgiving. yet the Off
cials of the Cuban delegation here con-
slider the reports accurate, as they bear
out what these officials pointed out, when
the Spanish fleet first reached Martinique,
as the probable course the Spanish ad-
