THE MAYORALITX.

As the Republican convention for the
nomination of candidates for the may
oralty and other civic Offices will not
take place until this Saturday afternoon
We are not in position to state who
will be nominated to oppose Mr.. Stark
weather, who Las announced his can
didature on call and has also been en-
dorsed by the Democratic party.
Having the ci'y's interests more at
heart than the mere triumph of party,
the TINES trusts that nothing will be per
mtted to interfere with the working
out Of the refunding scheme and the
placing of the city on satisfactory
financial basis. That is the paramount
consideration, and much as we would
prefer some other man to Mr.. Stark
weather for mayor we would much
rather that he would succeed himself
than that the progress of the rounding
scheme should be interfcred with, and
we are satisfied that there are many Re-
publlcans in the city who take the
same view ur the question as We do.
They think the time has come when
the watchword in municipal matters
should be: Superior first, last and al
wavs-partv afterwards"
We have taken exception to many
acts of Mr.. Starkweather. lie has not
always practced what he preached. He
has persistently preached: Equal
rights to all, special privileges to nome"
yet he signed an ordinance granting
special privileges to the typographical
union, and preventing this and other
offices from doing any city printing UNI
less they gave up their liberty 10 the
keeping of the printers union, q fact
that our Democratic friends-thosc

Power company to-day, the council

idea, il did not originate with him. He
WAS instrumental III putting it in opera
ton, however. in the face Of difficult
ties, for which we will not refuse him
credit, though lie should not claim all
the credit, the council having supported
him in that matter. On the whole, we
think Mr.. Starkweather is very much
overrated by himself and others; but
he has about him some capable men.
the city is moving i'll the right track,
but We believe 1t possible, if the
Republican party Is true to the city and

carry forward to 4 successful conclusion

Cuban troops were taken for Span

wounded. A Spanish garrison of $50
men at Baiquiri, commanded by Col.

speaking. if Spain is foolhardy enough
to send the CadiZ fleet through the
Suez Canal to attack Dewey in the
Philippines. 1t is announced on good
authority that before the last Spanish
vessel has passed through the canal an
American squadron will be steaming
at full speed across the Atlantic,
straight for The coast of Spain to bring
the war home to the Spanish people.
There is no doubt that Dewey can
take care of himself against the Cadiz
fleet since his own squadron will he

Camara's ships sight the bay of Ma

the struggle. But it has been conclud-
ed by the administration that nothing

suffice to bring the Spanish people TO

all Spanish shipping will be destroyed
and some of the best ports blOckaded

to the war department during office
hours from our army near Santiago.
This was the cause for mild surprise
at the department as Gen. Shafter has

pected he would report the measure of
success he has attained in the debarka-

beginning of operations against Santi-

Washington. June %. During the
day orders were issued to the entire
division comprising the newly created
command of Brig. Gen. Guy V. Henry
for the speedy departure to reinforce
Gen. Shafter ut Santiago. Already the
Thirty-third Michigan regiment and
one battalion of the Thirty fourth
Michigan have started on this mission.
TO-day's orders concerns the battaliOns
of Gen. Henry's command. 1t includes
the remaining battalions of the Thir-
ty-fourth Michigan and the Ninth Mas
sachusetts regiment. These will COM
plete Gen. Duffield's command. The
Third Virginia, which belongs to this
brigade, will not go, as its equipment
is incomplete. The orders also cover
the entire brigade of Brig. Gen. Garrett
son, which includes the Sixth Illinois.
Sixth Massachusetts and Eighth and
Ninth Ohio regiments. The plan is to
move all of Gen. Henry's division on
the Harvard and Yale, these ships to
make two round trips. The first trip
will carry most, If not all, of Gen.
Duffields brigade. The war depart
ment allows three days for the trip,
two days to unload and three days to
return to Newport News. making eight
days. BY that time Gen. Garretson's
brigade will be at Newport News ready
to go on board the ships and then will
come the second trip, taking three days
with two days allowed for Garrctson's
troops to unload in Cuba.

LARGE SHIPS BOUGHT.
Important Addition to the War De

Washington, June 26.-An important
addition to hte war departments list
of vessels available for transport duty
and freight service was announced
yesterday. This was The purchase of
eight large ships of over $500 tons
burden each for use on the Atlantic
coast. Heretofore the practice Of the
war department has been to charter
all the vessels which it has used. and
the announcement of the acquisition of
ships by purchase is distinctly new
departure in the policy of the govern
ment, due ii is believed to the fact that
the owners and agents Of the various
companies heretofore have asked such
high prices. 1t was authOritatively
stated that impressment Of ships on
the Atlantic coast would not be resort
ed to but that such as were desired
would be obtained in some other way.
1t Is understood that the purchase
price Of the ships was approximately
