die and Baltimore G. Ohio roads took
out about 1000 Wheeling people, maxi
ing the clty's representation at the con-

the largest number from here that ever
gathered in another city. Some Of the
wheeling people returned on the early
evening trains, and other came 10 on
the Baltimore & Ohio Cannon BAH,
early this morning. This latter train
was several hours late, owing to the
blocking of the tracks in and near
Pittsburgh. Special trains we're due to
come in early this morning on both
roads, but they are probably late.
The morning trains from Wheeling
to Pittsburgh found 1t difficult to reach
Pittsburgh on account OF the phenome-
nally large traffic that had to be ham
dled, and one OF the trains was laid
out several hours twelve miles from
Pittsburgh.

RENDEZVOUS FOR REGULARS.

Tampa, Fla, May l5.-General Wade's
tour of inspectio nof the various ports
on the coast Of Florida that have been
under consideration as rendezvous for the
volunteer troops may result in the trans
fer of many of the troops now located at
Tampa TO some other point. The last two
regiments Of cavalry from Chickama uga
the First and Tenth. have been encamped
at Lakeland, and the Seventy-frst New
York and other volunteer troops soon TO
arrive will also go into camp there. The
place is admirably suited for a camp
ground on account OF the railroad facil-
tiles and the abundance of water. It is.
however. thirty miles from deep water.
and the troops, 1t is said, will be located
there only temporarily.
General Wade will examine the grounds

Of the regular troops to that point No
action of this kind will be taken should
and early conflict between the Spanish
and American fleets occur and the troops
be ordered to Cuba.
One of the chief difficulties the govern
ment has to contend with is the supply
ing the troops with water. Most of the
supply has to be brought from st. Peters,
burg, about ten miles down thine bay,
at an expense of a cent a gallon. Ad-
miral SIMPSONS feet and the station at
Key West depend in great measure
on the same source Of supply and this
condition of affairs has resulted in seri-
Gus discussion as to the wisdom of keep
ing the base of supplies here. Miami
Beach, on account of its abundant water
supply, its harbor facilities and also be-
cause it is much nearer Cuba. has been
considered favorably as a rendezvous for
troops and also for the establishment of
supply depots.

firmed the statement that any changes
made in the composition Of the cabinet
would be wholly in the direction Of more
active war policy. He said:
Recent events have greatly increased
the war spirit OF the nation. The greatest
reliance is placed upon Admiral Cervera's
squadron and upon the skill OF the Span
ish admiral. Cervera is not hampered by
instructions. and the details of his plans
are not even known to the ministers"

Spanish version of the so-called fight be-
tween the Spanish gunboats Condo de

that the two gunboats engaged five
American ships and forced the latter to
retreat, adding:

eminent organ). commenting editorially
on the stay of Senior Polo Bernahs in
Canada, says:
with Canada's limited diplomatic ex-
perience, there is a feeling OF hesitation
about pronouncing a positive opinion SIS
to the propriety of the continued stay OF
the ex-minister in Canada. But some light
may be thrown on the question by asking
what would have been thought in Spain
and throughout Europe If the American
minister to Spain, after receiving his pass
ports, had remained in Portugal, instead
OF coming home. The proceeding would
have been regarded as very unusual and
would have occasioned a good deal OF
comment and inquiry, and probably de-
mand for explanations. What are the
ex-minister and his stsff doing here? is a
very natural question 70 ask. and they
can hardly complain II the commonly ac-
cepted view is that they must be here for
the purpose of obtaining information that
may be OF use to Spain"
