AWAITING SUPPLIES.


WASIHNGToN, June 12.-In ten DAYS
time unless unforeseen obstacles are en-
countered, the movement upon Porto
Rico will begin. The war department
has been in close communication by
telegraph with Gen. Miles at Tampa,
and all of the necessary instructions
have been given to the commanding
general for the preparation of the mill
tary forces to be used in this part of
the campaign. Gen. Miles, in turn, has
been consulting Gems. Coppinger and
Lee, at Jacksonville, giving the neces-
sary detailed instructions, and all is SO
near ready that were some essential
supplies on hand the expedition could
start within twenty four hours
The navy department has been adj
vised of the purpose of the army, and
the war board today was making
arrangements for the supply of the
conveying fleet This will be of more
formidable character than that which
goes with the Santiago expedition, for
the plans contemplate joint attack
upon the San Juan Notifications bv the
army and navy, and these Notifications
are so powerful that heavily armored
ships only can be sent against them at
the beginning. Therefore, it is be-
lieved that SIMPSONS battleships will

Poll Tax Returns.

The auditors Office has received the
official poll tax returns from all the
counties. They show an increase of
about 30 per cent. over the rolls for las
year. Total poll tax returns for 1898,
S5,526.09; total poll tax returns for
1897, Sol, 713. IA; increase during present
year, s23, Sl2.95. This increase in the
polls will lessen the amount the treas
urer has to disburse out of the treasury
funds for the support of public schools,
since the amount to be diSbursed is
found by subtracting the polls of each
county from the pro rata distribution
due that county. The total disburSc-
ment made this time By the treasurer
will be 1921, 140.57, being one-third of
the total amount appropriated by the
legislature less the county polls. Last
year the appropriation was less, and
yet the treasurer disbursed s246, 12O.19.
This increase in the number of polls
also indicates that nearly 80 per cent
more people in the State are getting
ready to vote than usual.

LONDON, June 1.-THE st. James Ga

ing out the hopelessness of any further
Spanish resistance, and suggests that
Americans seek settlement of the Gu
ban question in Spain. 1t says:
There is no need of an INVASION

ament, which the Spanish navy could
not drive off, on the coast would pro
duce tremendous effect, and there are
numerous unfortifed anchorages,
where the Americans could recoal with
leisure.
"Of course, there are powers in Eu-
rope who would witness the operation

cans arc going to be frightened by the

SPANISH WAR SHIPS AROUND.
A Night of Excitement at Fort Monroe
Quarters Sounded and Every
Preparation Made.

NEWPORT News, Va, June II, 2 a. m.
"A dispatch just received from Fort
Monroe says:
Intense excitement was caused at
Fort Monroe last night shortly after
nine o'clock by a dispatch received
from the signal station at Cape Henry,
stating that Spanish war ships were
lurking in that vicinity.
"A short while later a message was
received from Washington instructing
the commandant of the fort to be on
the alert.
Reports as to the number of ships
seen were conflicting.
A lieutenant who was seen after mid
night said he had been informed that q
Spanish battleship, two cruisers and a
torpedo boat had been caught under
the searchlight of Cape Henry, steam
ing from a northerly direction.
LAS soon us it was reported that the
enemys war ships had been sighted
there was great activity at the fort.
The big searchlight began to sweep
across the bay and signals were
flashed to the cruiser Minneapolis,
auxiliary cruiser Dixie and dynamite
cruiser Buffalo, which are anchored off
Old Point
Quarters were sounded and the crews
hastily prepared the ships fot action.
The gunnerS took positions at their
posts where they were ordered to re-
main during the night. The ships
searchlights were kept playing on the
waters.
In the fort ammunition was hur-
ried to the big guns and troops ordered
to their posts. Some of the officers
We're with their families at the hotels,
and buglcrs were dispatched for
them. The men scurried out of the no.
tells, half dressed, and FASTENED to the
fort. In the camp of the Maryland
troops orders were given for the men
to sleep in their clothes, with their
guns close by
A dispatch that came from Washing
ton stating that one of the vessels
seen was probably a German frcighter,
had tendency to allay the excitement
among the guests at the hotels, but
the officers did not relax their vigil

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
Can Hold Their Places.

Capt. Ben @. Humphreys of the Ben
Humphreys Rifles of Greenwood, who
is district attorney for the Le1ore
county district, will not lose his place
as district attorney by going to the
war, at least that is the opinion of Gov.
McBaurin and a Number of lawyers
who were consulted by Capt. Humph-
reys. There are two other officers in
the Second Regiment who are similarly
situated, namely, Capt. j. w. Hender-
son, county superintendent of Tunica
county, and Capt. Cicero l.. Lincoln,
chancery clerk of Lowndes county.
These three gentlemen did not care
anything about the loss of their sal
aries while going to the war, but they
did not see any necessity for having
their places filled when the United
States government might discharge
them in a few months. They took the
advice of a number of lawyers and
called on Gov. McLaurin in a body.
The governor holds that the Federal
law does not apply to the State volun-
teers, and that there is no law against
citizen holding ID military position
and a State office at the same time
The only way the question can be
raised is by quo warranto proceedings
against the gentlemen or against the
pro tempore officers acting in their
places, and as they have been actuated
solely by patriotic motives and given
themselves to the service of their coun-
try, it is not probable that any one
could be found who wants an Office bad
enough to risk the odium of such pro-
ccedinC.

In Madrid it was officially admitted
that the Spanish cruiser Reina Merce-

Reports from Madrid, Paris and Lon
