- Washington dispatch gives addi-
tional information about the Flying
Squadron that is being collected at
Hampton Roads. The fleet at present
comprises the cruisers, Newark, Min
neapolis and Cincinnati and the aux
Hilary cruisers Harvard, Yale, Buffalo
and Dixie. These warships, at the
lowest estimate, are capable of carry
ing coal sufficient to steam 10000 miles
at the rate of ten miles an hour. The
distance from Hampton Roads to
Cadiz, Spain, is $500 miles, and so
these are easily capable of going to
Spain and returning without having to
take on any coal. 1t is possible that
the cruiser Columbia may be added to
the fleet. 1t is a general belief that
with fleet like this ravaging the coast
of Spain for a few weeks, the Span
iards will be ready to consider the
question of peace.

Second Manila Expedition.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 14.-The sec,
ond expedition to Manila is being en-
barked on transports today, and the
understanding is that it will sail to-
morrow.
Against Havana.
WASHINGTON, June 14.-Major Gen.
eral Lee has been ordered to organize
an army of 10000 to 60 against Hav.
ana. He has the privilege of drawing
on all the volunteer camps for such
troops as he may prefer. 1t is believed
here that the army will be in readiness
to move within 80 days; but as to
when it will probably move, will still
depend upon circumstances.
Saw Cervera's Fleet.
Secretary Long has received dis,
patch from Admiral Sampson saying
that Lieutenant Blue, probably the
South Carolinian of that name has just
returned from an inland detour of 70
miles. During the trip he was enabled
to observe the Spanish fleet in Santiago
harbor. He reports that he saw all OF
Cervera's vessels. He has also a lot
of other valuable and interesting in
formation Of which good use will nc
doubt be made.

Several reports are current of q
menacing concentration of troops at

No explanation is offered.
Still Fighting Bushwhackers.
PORT ANTONIO, Jamaica, June A.
The Spanish bushwhackers continued
their attacks on the American marines
at Guantanamo yesterday. The ma.
fines held their own without difficulty
or loss; but were assisted by launches
from the Texas and Marblehead with
rapid fire guns, and occasional shots
from the big guns of the warships.
The loss of the bushwhackers is be-
lieved to have been heavier than du.
ring any of the previous skirmishes.
Wasting Their Powder.
KEY WEST, June 14.-The Havana
batteries opened a terrific fire on the
blockading fleet yesterday with the
evident purpose of drawing it into a
fight. Commodore Watson's orders
are such that he could not respond.

We believe, are the most enterprising and
liberal in the bicycle trade, and have de-
termned to give those who failed to get
a Defiance wheel something equally as
good, if not better, for the same money,
and, therefore, have notified us that they
still have i'm stock Il limited number of
1897 S75 Monarchs which they will fit
with 1898 tires and saddles and authorize
us to sell them at the low price Of $3.50.
There is no better value on the market
than these wheels. Every one of them
is backed by liberal guarantee. These
wheels will he furnished in %, "a and
and 26-inch frame, for men, and 20 and

you buy Il 1898 Monarch and they are alb
solutely the best on the market with
