Dissatisfaction Growing General In the
Provinces.
MADRID, May 5.-The situation in
the provinc ces is unchanged and every.
where dissatisfaction is growing, prob
ably over the price Of bread. Acts
against authority are becoming more
and more overt. At Caceras, capital OF
Estramadura, the populace marched
into the railway station to prevent the
export Of provisions and overpowered
the soldiers on guard, capturing IA car.
loads of wheat -four.
All Valencia is in state OF siege. AT
Catalan the rioters captured the mayor
and town councillors and demanded q
ransom. On the mayor protesting he
was shot through the leg, after which
the gendarmes dispersed the mob.
At Talevara the rioters were most
determined, sacking many bakeries and
setting on fire several government
buildings.
In the town of Augilias, in the prov.
ince of Murcia, mob, mostly COM
posed of women, burned the storehouse
and offices.

TAMPA, Fla, May At is now al.
most certain that Brigadier General
Wade will have active command Of the
United States troops in the field in
Cuba. Both Generals Wade and
Shafter will, it is said, accompany the
expedition when it sails, but the latter,
although the ranking general, will not
direct the movements OF the troops in
the field. Arrangements for the EN-.
barkation Of the troops are being
pushed with the utmost vigor. The
Florida and Olivette are being put in
shape for the reception of the soldiers,
and the Mascotte, which came in dur.
ing the day, will be taken in hand and
prepared for service as transport.
Nearly every regiment in camp had a
rigid inspection during the day and in.
struction was given to have everything
in shape for breaking camp on short no.
tice.
1t is barely possible that the United
States forces will be actually en- route
fore Cuba befor the first of next week.
But four Of the necessary transports
are as yet on hand and it will probably
be Sunday before all of the boats are
here and have received their coal and
other supplies.

Decisive Engagement Between

LONDON, May 5.-A dispatch to The
Daily Mail from Key West, sent by
way of Tampa in order to escape cen.
sorship, asserts of positive knowledge
that Rear Admiral Simpsons feet will
steam at full speed to Porto Rico, either
to destroy or to occupy the coaling sta
tion as naval base before the Spanish
squadron arrives, and then put to sea
and try to engage the Cape Verde feet.
News was also received here during
the day from Lisbon that the Spanish
feet from st. Vincent had returned to
join the squadron at Cadiz. This last
story, all things considered, is
Not Very Generally Credited.
and, with the Oregon hurrying north,
accompanied by the Marietta, and
Sampson steaming south with his big
battleships, both likely to meet the
Spanish ships, in the event that they
have not turned back but are on the

believe it is possible that the greatest
naval battle in the worlds history may
be fought in few days in West In.

the assumption that the Spanish fleet

Five Hundred Applications at Tampa In

TAMPA, Fla, May 4.-The enlistment
of Cubans for the regiments which are
being formed here is assuming large
proportions. Tuesday there Were over
500 applications for service, most of
which will be accepted, and work in
several of the big tobacco factories was
practically at standstill. Besides the
native Cubans many young Americans
are enlisting for service under Gomez.
Two companies Of Cubans already
formed here with those that arrived
from other points have gone into camp
in West Tampa and are being rapidly
armed and uniformed. Their number
was swelled during the day by the ar.
rival ON the Mascotte Of 130 Cubans
who had enlisted at Key West and who

armed with machetes and wearing

Movement Of United States Troops to

TAMPA, Fla, May 5.-lt appears to
be almost settled belief among army
officers here that no movement OF
United States troops toward Cuba Will
take place until after the meeting OF
the Spanish flotilla with Rear Admiral
Simpsons squadron. which is now be-
lieved to be inevitable. Nevertheless,
every thing possible is being done to
put the United States troops in readl'
ness for immediate shipment.
Plans for division hospitals and the
allotment of surgeons have been prac-
tically completed. The First infantry,
one of the regiments which will be
landed in Cuba, was put through the
emergency entrenchment drill, and
long practice marches in heavy march.
ing order was given other regiments.
Preparations for the landing OF large
force of native Cubans at some point In
Cuba within convenient reach OF Gen.
eral Gomez army are being pushed as
fast as possible. How large a force
there will be is yet uncertain.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-Great interest
is felt in the reported return of ths
Spanish Cape Verde feet to Cadiz, but,
while admitting the possibility OF the
fast vessels of the Spanish flying squad.
ron making the passage in the five
days that the vessels have been out
from St. Vincent, the naval officers
were disposed to regard with great sus.
nicion news of this kind emanating
from Portugal because of the recog.

the Spanish side. 1t would be worth a

THIS GLORIOUS RAIN.

The planting of sugar beets had
ceased because the ground was so dry,
and the wheat crop on the dry farms
was becoming somewhat matter of
doubt, at least as to its size. when this
glorious rain of last night and today
come pouring down. 1t wasn't mere
ly a light April shower; 1t was a copi-
Gus. generous. soaking rain, that
brought tens of thousands of dollars
down from the clouds and put them in
to the pockets of the farmers.
Now the planting OF sugar beets can
go on. and It ought to go on until the
acreage Is made far and away the
largest ever planted in the State. The
soil is In magnificent condition, the
season promises to be all that could
be desired. and the results abundantly
remunerative TO the fortunate owner
of few ncres within reach of the
sugar factory. The revenue from
sugar beets this fall will certainly be
heavy and this glorious rain fills the
heart of the dry farmer with joy, for It
means perhaps the doubling OF his
wheat crop.
And then there are the ranges where
cattle and sheep Craze. This rain puts
before the fooks and herds tens of
thousands of tons of luscious feed
which means fat beeves and heavy
fieeces, and the consequential profits to
sheep and cattle men. II is rood to live
in these valleys of the mountains;
Providence is blessing them abundant.

WITHOUT SALARY.

Some of our exchanges note as
something extraordinary the fact that
u pastor of Baptist church in Chicago
recently made the announcement that
he was going to preach without
salary and that he wanted the work
of the church carried on by voluntary
contributions. Ii seems that the mem
bers were ut first opposed to this ar
rangement. but the minister carried
his point; and from now on only In
case anything liz left after the eX-
penses are paid will the preacher get
anything for the support of himself
and family. He declares 1t as his
view that this is the only way pleas
ing to the Almighty. and he believes
the day is approaching when all the
so-called Christian churches will adopt
a similar method.
1t has often been observed that the
doctrines of Mormonism like n leaven
are slowly permeating the ecclesiastical
world. This is natural, for Whenever
they are understood they commend
themselves to the judgment and con-
science of the best men and women.
The great truth that the ministers of
the Gospel should devote themselves
to their work without a fixed salary
without selling 1t at so much a yard,
as II making merchandise of it's dis
tinctively Mormon. In fact 1t was one
OF the teachings that called down
upon the Saints the wrath of salaried
ministry in the beginning, causing
much bitter persecution. Yet, now
there are signs of Its being adopted by
others as the only Scrlptural method.
The reverend gentleman in Chicago
has set a noble example. Undoubted-
ly he will further search the Scriptures
to learn the business methods of the
Almighty as regard His Church. and
then he will find that not voluntary
contributions alone, but tithing Is COM
manded as the source of revenue OF
His people. We imagine II will be a
great deal easier to persuade the
| clergy of the divine origin of the law
of tithing than of the necessity OF
preaching without a salary. But both
| are commanded in holy writ, and the
| Church must submit, or lose her pow
er for good in the world.
