Insurgents, who are expected to
form junction with the American
forces at the place of landing, have
been armed by the United States with
modern Springfield rifles. The army
has an abundance of ammunition to
carry it on a long and difficult cam
paign.
The transports will be kept as close
ly together as safe navigation will per-
nit and the war ships will be dis
posed ahead, astern and on either
flank of the fleet. Scouting vessels
will he thrown far out in advance of
the transports, and in order to insure
against an attack from the rear some
of these vessels will linger far astern,
ready to signal the heavily armored
cruisers at the first sign of an ap-
preaching foe. The battleship Indiana
is expected to lead the ships.

itely settled that John Jacob Astor' S

Fled with Their Gold,

Kingston, Jamaica, June 1.-THE
Royal Mail steamer sailing for London
this week will carry 100000 in SPANISH
gold. Broad Alfonso pieces are more
in circulation in this island than Eng
lish sovereigns Probably million
dollars in coin has been brought to
Jamaica from Cuba by refugees during
the last six weeks.
Three or four thousand of these ref
ugees fill the hotels, lodging houses
and vacant dwellings, in the coast
towns.
The refugees, instead of being lean
and i'll favored, as one might suppose,
are remarkSbl prosperous looking.
The women are dressed in the Paris
and New York fashions of two years
ago. Some are attended by servants
Among the baggage are extraordinary
boxes and chests that look antique
enough to have been made in Spain IN
a former century.
One refugee entered focal hotel be-
hind six strong men, each of whom
carried leather bag fined with gold
He was a noted usureT of Havana
They do not know what has become
of their homes and estates. Most of
them sympathize with the insurgents
A few bitterly denounce Spain. The
Spanish vice consul here, Don Jose
Bugas de Dalman, formerly at Tampa,
said:
What disgusts me is that for three
years these people have been talking
for Spain, and now they turn and re-
vile her. They are too cowardly to
fight on either side. They are-what
do you call it?-'atmospheric war
riors.'"

Camara Declares His Fleet Unfit.

Gibraltar. Wednesday.-The Cadiz
fleet consists of the Pelayo, the Carlos
". the Vittoria, the Lepanto, cruisers
the Rapido, the Patricia, the Meteoro,
auxiliary cruisers, and three torpedo
boat destroyers.
The Alfonso XIII, being too slow,
will be left behind, with six transat-
lantic steamers and FIVE torpedo boats
now at Cadiz.
1t is reported that Admiral Camara
has told Captain Aunon, Minister of
Marine, that his squadron is INSULT
cient to meet the Americans, and
therefore its sailing is doubtful.
The artillery practice shows a good
average.

Brooklyn.-The refrigerator steamer

sides the fresh meat, she will also take
1000 live sheep.
The cruiser Topeka, in charge of
Capt. Cowles, will probably sail early

Food Scarce in Havana.

Kingston, Jamaica.-The British
cruiser Talbot has arrived here.
The passengers report that Havana
Is quiet. Food is scarce, and this is
particularly true of flour. More than
half the bakeries are closed, and 9TH
ers, which are only filling outstanding
contracts, expect to close within a few
days.
One bakery was besieged by a mob,
while $50 persons inside the shop Were
:lamoring for the privilege of pur-

Eggs are now a luxury, and have

San Diego, Cal, june H.-The mon

She left her collier consort, the Brutus,

The Monterey had 200 tons of coal
on her deck. and when one day on.
from San Francisco eighty tons of it
was washed away. She is so low in
the water that the sea sweeps over her
when she is under way, though the
water may be smooth. She will take
on $50 tons here, but it is doubtful if
she has any better success in keeping
it on board.

AN ABSURD STORY.

The Washington correspondent or inc
Louisville Courier-Journal is responsible
for the following: Senator Jones. OF Ar
kansas and other prominent silver Dem
ocrats have waited upon President Nc
Kinlcy and urged the appointment Of
William j. Bryan as a Brigadier-General
Of Volunteers. The president informed
them that he would appoint no man as
Brigadier who had not a West Point eX-
porience or military experience or a vet
eran Of the civil war. The President
also said he had recognized the free
silver Democrats by his decision to APP
point General Joe Wheeler a Major-Gcn-
eral and the gold Democrats by confer
ring a similar title on Fitzhugh Lee
This IS simply incredulous. II has
been time and again asserted that the
free silver people were working against
General Lee and working i'm the interest
Of General Wheeler but that the Pres
ident OF the United States in a crisis like
this would appoint major-generals in re-
cognition of this or that faction in the
Democratic party were so monstrous as
TO he 10 our mind incOnceivabie
We simply do not believe 1t. we have
too high a regard for the President Of
the United States to believe him capable
Of such q thing. We prefer to believe
and we do believe. that General Lee and
General Wheeler were appointed because
of their military qualifications and not
because of their views on the currency
question. Moreover we would ike TO
know who IS authorized TO say that Fitz
Lee represents the gold Democrats. So
far as we have seen, he studiousy
avoided all such discussions, while ne
was serving his country and he certainly
bas more serious matters 10 think about
now than partisan politics.
