from noon to o'clock. Captain Walker
of the Adula, when coming out, could not
see any marks on Morro castle and in

There was much excitement in the
city. The regulars and volunteers were

were erected on each side of the harbor

WAR NEWS IN BRIEF.

Washington, May 20.-Hempstead, l..
l.. has been definitely selected as
rendezvousIng point for troops from the
New England and middle states section
and 1t is expected that - regiments
eventually will be quartered there.
The torpedo boat destroyers provided
for in the appropriation bill are to be of
larger type than any vessel OF that kind
we now have in the service, about 400
tons. but the torpedo boats will be about
the size OF the average boat now in use,
namely, about 150 tons.
Work on the three monitors, Mahopac.
Canopicus and Manhattan, at League
island has advanced so far that the de-
partment expects to have them in service
within a week or two. They have been
supplied with tubulous boilers in place
OF the rusted out boilers they have car
ried since the war.
Naval authorities are relieved OF a good
deal OF embarrassment by the consent
OF the French authorities at Martinique
TO allow the Harvard TO remain in st.
Pierre until her repairs are completed.
1t was at first supposed that she would
be allowed only seven days stay and at
the end of that time would be forced
out TO risk attack at the hands OF an
ambushed Spanish cruiser or torpedo
boat.
The regular troops which are to ac-
company the expedition to the Philip
pines have been determined upon. and
orders for them to proceed promptly to
the coast will be issued. These. with
the volunteers from California, Color
ado. Kansas. Minnesota. Montana. Ne
braska, Oregon. Utah. Wyoming. North
and South Dakota and Idaho, will make
up the sum total from which are to be
taken the troops who are to be sent o
reinforce Admiral Dewey and enable
him TO take Manila.

MAY COAL IN NORTH ATLANTIC.

Montreal May 20.-A new feature Of
the Spanish American war, one in which
IT is asserted Polo y Bernaba and his as
sociates are keenly interested, is the
probable advance of the Cadiz squadron
into the North Atlantic. One barrier
alone has been standing between the
New England coast and the Cadiz feet
1t is the lack of coal for the warships
when they get to this side of the ocean,
1t has been planned TO secure a coal
supply. Spanish ships now carrying IL
may be well on this side Of the Atlantic:
indeed, according to information re-
ceived from a correspondent at North
Sydney, c. b., II is possible that even at
the present time Spanish coal ships are
in the waters about New Foundland.
The advices from Cape Breton point out
that Polo has been in communication
with an agent or correspondent on the
island OF st. Pierre, the coaling station
OF France in the North Atlantic. There
is constant exchange of trade between
Cape Breton and st. Pierre, and the
gossip OF one port is more or less current
I'm the other. For the past week look
out operators on the New Foundland
coast have reported the appearance OF
strange vessels in those waters.

More than 80 regiments of the volun-
tecr army either have started for or
they were directed to proceed by the
secretary of war. Fifteen or 20 other
regiments have reported their readiness
to start for such points. In order to
prevent confusion at the camps and any
congestion in the railroad traffic, the
war department officials are deferring
giving orders for a number of the vol
unteer regiments to start. The volun-
teer regiments which were directed TO
go TO San Francisco except those from
North and South Dakota, have left their
rendezvousing points for the golden
gate. The greater portion of the men
composing these organizations are des-
tined for the Philippines.
