No Such Expenditure Since the Days
 of the Civil War.

Washington, May 11.-During the past month the bureau of construction and repair of the navy department spent $1, ,250,0 900 in the repair and out fitting of ships, and none of this money went to new construction. This is said to be the largest expenditure in this particular line made by the equipment bureau, even during the days of the civil war.
 Rush orders to the Charleston which went out today wln have the result possibly of obliging the de- partment to send another vessel, prob ably the Philadelphia, along with the troop transports, which are expect ed to go out from San Francisco about the end of the week, since it is very unusual in time of war to send such transports without warship for a convoy

BERNABE's WORK.
In Which He Receives Assistance
 From Yellow Journalism.

Washington, May 1.-The enemies which the government fears now more than any contemplated Spanish ar mada are the yellow journals" of New York, and the horde of Spanish agents turned loose by Bernabe and his pre- decessor De Lome before diplomatic relations with the Spanish govern ment were broken off.
 De Lome had an immense corrup- ton fund, which he used with bold ness and skill. He took from among his intimates of the Metropolitan club of this city one of the best newspaper writers in the United States and sent him to Cuba to write up autonomy, and influence public sentiment in favor of the Spanish cause. If that cause had been less rotten this adroit move might have produced some ef- feet. Bernabe, from his recent rest ing place in Canada, has been follow

BREAKING CAMP.
Chickamanga Beginning to Present a
 Deserted Appearance.


 Chattanooga, Tenn. May 11.-Camp George H. Thomas, at Chickamauga Park, is rapidly undergoing demoli- ton. At daybreak this morning the work of breaking camp was begun by a number of the regiments and in few. hours thereafter places which have been covered with tents for some time were again vacant and de- serted. Officers and men of all the regiments now remaining are giving their time and attention. to prepara- tions for departure. The regular routine of camp life has been entirely suspended.
 The first troops out were the Third cavalry. They were loaded on special trains at Rossville about 9 o'clock and started through to Tampa over the Southern railway. The Sixth cavalry got out a few hours later, going to Tampa over the same route.
 The two regiments are under the command of General S. Sumner. The Second cavalry under Col. Hunt will get out for Mobile late this evening and the First and Tenth cavalry un- der Col. Baldwin will leave about the same time for New Orleans.
 Two of the infantry regiments will march nine miles to Ringgold and take the cars for Tampa tomorrow. Those remaining will follow as rap idly as possible Indications are now that all commands with their equipments will be gone before Friday noon.

A PEST OF THE SEA GONE.
The Spanish Destructor Blown Up On
 Gibraltar.

Loaldon, May 11.-A dispatch to the Globe from Gibraltar says a British steamer which has just arrived there reports officially that she passed yeSs- terday evening al Spanish torpedo boat destroyer which was guarding Algieras bay and straits. Shortly af- ter the steamer passed her all the lights of the destroyer were suddenly extinguished, terrific explosion fol- lowed immediately and the destroyer disappeared.
 The disaster was apparently caused by the explosion of the boilers of the torpedo boat destroyer. II is feared all on board perished .a

Several suspicious characters have been no- ticed around the treasury recently. Both the inside and outside of the building will be carefully watched.
 A congressman who tried to enter the building this morning without giving his name was promptly stopped.

There Is Still Much Fighting for the

 About 10000 men of the reserves Of the Spanish army have been ordered to rejoin the colors and it is added that a formidable expedition is being organized for dispatch to the Philip pines.

oBsTRUCTING JOURNALS.

VuOl lIlC0
 CONSTRUCTING JOURNALS.
 Then comes in the yellow" jour nals of New York with their so-called enterprise" It is almost an estab- lished fact that one brave American who served on Gomez's staff and came over here charged with .n important mission from the insurgent leader to the United States military authori- ties, has been betrayed to the SpaE- iards and shot on his return, through the indiscreet publicity given to his movements by the sensational news papers. The brave army officer who only lately made his way to Gomez's camp to devise measures to effect a junction between the insurgent forces and the United States army of in vasion, narrowly escaped a similar fate through the same cause. Press censorship is consequently being ex- ercised at Tampa and Key West and other points to an extent which has never been known in this country be- fore.
 TRUTH IS DANGEROUS.
 Consequently much of the news now published from those points as to the movements of squadrons and their purposes and destination has been pure guesswork. The nearer 1t has cnma f(L thn th< it has been to the national cause. For though all dispatches leaving here for Havana are carefully scrutintzed, and no cipher messages are permitted to go through, the same precautions cannot be observed at the European end of the line, and news published here and transmitted to Madrid can be sent back to Cuba without impediment. provided 1t serves the Spanish cause.
 There is where the yellow journals get in their deadly work. Though nine out of ten of their stories as to the projected movements may be pure fakes the tenth may be founded upon correct information corruptly obtained from some leaky clerk in the war de partment, and the mischief is incalcu- Table. Both departments are honey combed with disloyai women, put there under Cleveland, who still cling to the Host cause though the men who fought for it have gallantly come to the country's rescue The extent to which this leakage goes on cannot be overestimated. I myself heard from a confidential operator in a broker s office in this city, under pledge of se- crecy for an hour or two. news of one of the most important movements of the war fully five hours before it was officially given out to the press.

ing similar tactics, only changed by the altered conditions. It is not pub- hc opinion he now seeks to sway. but it is the crippling of the United States resources to which his emis- saries devote their attention.
 PROOF OF SPANISH WORK
 All denials to the contrary. the re- cent explosions at government powder mills in Pennsylvania and California are generally ascribed to Spanish agencies. One potent ground of sus- p1clon lies in the fact that they were foretold in a dispatch sent from Washington by a staff correspondent to the Madrid newspaper, the Impar- clal, the government organ, days be- fore they occurred. The inference thus raised is confirmed by disclosures which the postoffice authorities are daily making in intercepted corres- pondence, of which large quantities nave been handled. Added to this the arrest of Spanish emissaries in the very act of tampering with the maga- zines of two of our warships has

ITS THE DESTRUCTOR.

London, May 1.-The Spanish tor pedo boat destroyer, reported to be blown up near Gibraltar, probably is the Destructor. The Destructor is chased as a torpedo guRhoat. She had a crew of fifty-five men.

General Aug1lsti q omit the long string of h1gn sounding prefixes which accompany his surname) officially proclaims to his loyal "Filipinos" that the North Amer lean people are composed of the SO cial offscourings of other nations, without traditions or history, ana who in their debates in congress on the Cuban question have simply pre- scented to the world a spectacle of an- science, defamation, cowardice and cynicism." He says that the American navy is manned by foreigners, pos sessed of neither instruction nor dis cipline and only laying claim to a courage of which they are incapable" :" Then Don Augusti bulges into proph- ecy, and says in a grandiloquent period: "The struggle will be short and decisive. The God of victories will give us one as brilliant and com plete as the righteousness and justice of our cause demand
 AUGUSTI WAS RIGHT.
 Augusti was about right there; he got just the kind of victory the justice of the cause demanded. The whole document, with its hysterical staccato declamaticn, makes exceedingly inter esting reading in the light of recent events, and will be carefully preserved in the state department archives.
 THE EFFECT OF LETTER.
 But how far reaching this little dis turbance of ours with Spain is proving. Bread riots in Italy, simply because Joe Letter cornered all the wheat product of the United States, until the outbreak of the war made it impos- sible to ship it in American bottoms. and it had to be stored in such huge quantities and with so little protec- ton that over half million bushels, enough to feed the whole population of Italy for a week, burned up in one night in Boston. Dynastic riots in Spain, but those of course were an- ticipated. Revival of all the old con- tinental jealousies, and a strong sus- picion of a possible rupture between Great Britain and Germany, if not also between England and France. Where will it end? The Spanish aphorism alone meets the case, Quien sabe.
