he favored the amalg lgamation of the races
He was, nevertheless elected. Cross is
now congressional aspirant. He says in
his challenge:
Certain congressional aspirants in the
republican party of the second congress
sional district of West Virginia are bitter
1y denouncing my friendly attitude toward

SAILED FOR GUANTANAMO.
The Prairie Has Not Been Ordered te
Go to Colon.

The Navy Department is informed that
the training ship Prairie has left Newport
News with a battalion of marines bound
for the new United States naval station at
Guantanamo. 1t Is stated at the depart
ment that the Prairie has not been ordered
to Colon. Nevertheless. the impression pre-
walls that her stay at Guantanamo will be
short, and that she will continue her vOy-
age to the isthmus and land the marine
battalion to assist the battalion already
there in maintaining order and keeping open
the traffic between Colon and Panama
Mai. ]. A. Lejeune is in command of the
marines already at the isthmus comprising
the battalion taken there on the Dixie. The
marine battalion on the Prairie is COM
manded by Maj. L. c. Lucas. In case the
present marine force on the isthmus is in
creased by the marines on the Prairie it
will be necessary to send an officer of
higher rank to command the combined
forces. Gen. Elliott. commandant of the
corps. said this morning that he had no
knowledge of purpose to increase the ma
rine force on the isthmus, but that IL it
were done he would send a field officer,
probably a lieutenant colonel, to take COM
mand of the entire force of marines. No
one has yet been selected for that duty.
