Having Troops to Hold a City After i
Its Capture.
WASHINGTON, May 12.—The army j
movement on Cuba is now fairly
launched and a conserted effort is be- I
ins made all along the line to begin |
aggressive operations on a big scale I
for the ejectment of the Spanish troops j
and government from the Pearl of the j
Antilles. An order given by the war j
department for the purchase of 3,000,- j
000 rations is an earnest of the scale I
on which preparations are making for j
invasion of Spain's territory. Of this
vast quantity, one-fourth is togo to |
the Philippines by way of San Fran
cisco and the balance to Cuba.
The department has made a great
many changes in the original program
laid down for the concentration of
troops, and many bodies of volunteers
that were originally slated for one of
the great concentration camps have
found themselves under orders to pro
ceed direct to southern points, so that
volunteers from the East and middle
West will soon be moving swiftly to
Florida and the Gulf, while from the
West the cars will be carrying troops
to San Francisco.
PORTO RICO PROGRAM.
It All Awaits Some Uufinitn News From
Admiral Sampson.
WASHINGTON, May 12,-rntil news
comes from Admiral Sampson of his
doings in and around Porto Rico it
cannot be said definitely what program
shall be decided on In regard to that
island. It has been suggested that
some of the troops now being hurried
so rapidly to the Gulf coast may be
intended to co-operate with Admiral
Sampson in the reduction of the forti
fications at San Juan de Porto Kico J
and the occupation of the Island.
It is felt that the admiral will be in j
a rather disagreeable plight for lack
of troops supposing even that he man
aged to reduce the forts with his fleet,
if he were obliged to remain there in
occupation of the place, when he might
otherwise be urgently needed either
on the Cuban coast or somewhere in
the Atlantic to meet the Spanish fleet.
An evidence of the wisdom of hav
ing the troops transports near at hand
in such eases is shown by the predic
ament Admiral Dewey is believed to
be in at Manila, where for lack of
troops he is unable to occupy the town
and to prevent atrocities which the in
surgents are capable of inflicting upon
their helpless Spanish foes.
FEARS FORTHE OREGON.
Some I>oubts About the Spanish Fleet
lieing at Cadi/..
WASHINGTON, May 12.—Notwith
standing what appear* to be confirma
tory newspaper advices relative to the
presence of the Spanish Cape Verde
fleet at Cadiz, the navy department
officials are beginning to entertain
doubt of the accuracy of the report. It
has not been possible to obtain any
thing like an official confirmation of
the report, but this is not to be won
dered at in view of the success with
which the Spanish government has so
far met with in keeping secret the
movements of the naval ships.
The revival of doubts as to the
whereabouts of the Cape Verde squad
ron caused a renewal of anxiety as to
the Oregon. The ship was at Bahala
at last accounts and is believed to
have started a day or two ago up the
Brazilian coast to join Sampson's
squadron in the West Indies. She will
have to make a run of 3,000 miles,
which will occupy the Oregon about 10
days only, as she is in fine fettle and
averaged 13 knots an hour on the ions
rim around from San Francisco. How
ever it is believed that Admiral Samp
son is as well posted as anyone in
Washington as to the conditions ex
isting in the West Indies, and he
doubtless will do whatever is neces
sary in his judgment to safeguard tho
ship in her run up the coast.
RELIEF FOR DEWEY.
The Cruiser Charleston Will Start For
Manila at Once.
WASHINGTON, May 12.—The navy
department has decided to have the
cruiser Charlestown start at once on
its relief mission to Admiral Dewey's
fleet at Manila. The orders are to
start just as soon as it is possible to
get the ammunition and stores aboard,
and she will leave without waiting to
convoy the City of Pekin and the other
ships loaded with supplies. The order
to the commandant of the navy yard
at Mare island is to put on board the
Charleston all the ammunition she
will carry so long as her steaming ca
pacity is not retarded. It is the under
standing here that at least 150 tons of
ammunition can be put on board. By
extraordinary efforts on the part of
the authorities here all the powder,
shot and shell requisite for this relief
expedition have been assembled at San
Francisco already. The ammunition
Incl-Jd i rounds of the big projec- j
ti!. • for the s-lnch r.uns of the Olym

■ she 18. OB :.!! of the cruisers of 1
Ari :, • Dei'- y's fleet mount S-lnch j
and C-ir h guns.
0v.,i... la the hurried departure of
the Charlestown it is not expected
that she will take any considerable j
number of troops these will follow la
ter. She has a crew of about 300 men, ;
and this probably will be augmented i
by a marine guard of a few hundred |
men. The Charleston probably will I
ijave to stop at Honolulu to recoal.
ARE NOW REGULARS.
Mustering In of Volunteers Progressing
Siit isfactory.
WASHINGTON, May 12.—Reports j
received at the war department show a j
continuation of the rapid progress be
ing made in th-a mustering in of the
volunteers. Among the advices re- |
celved are the following:
Colorado—One regiment must. red.
lowa—Twelve regimental surgeons I
mustered.
Minnesota—Th. quota of the state I"
army, its strength being 128 officers j
and 2,250 men.
New York—From Camp Black, Sev- j
enty- first regiment, strength 42 < >lll -
eers and D 64 men. The regiment \
awaits instructions.
Rhode Island—Twelve companies of !
the First Rhode Island volunteers, 43 !
officers and 840 men.
Other advices which came to the war 1
department are as follows:
Colorado—The governor reports that j
the state regiment will report wherever

that the Twelfth regiment has been se- ,
lected for service.
New Hampshire—The First regiment
is fully armed and equipped.
INSURGENTS' SUPPLIES.
Another Kxpedltiou About Iteady to Sail
For Cuba.
TAMPA, Fla., Ma> 12.—There is good
reason to believe that inside of 24 hours
another expedition with the same pur
pose and destination as that of th< j
Gussif?, which left here loaded with
arms and ammunition and supplies for j
the Cuban insurgents, will slip fror i
Port Tampa. The Florida, one of the i
Plant line boats chartered by the gov
ernment for use as a transport, has I
taken on a large cargo of Springfield !
rifles and ammunition and the stalls
for horses and mules have been com
pleted. The boat is lying at the dock
with full steam up and no one is al
lowed on board.
General Wade went out to the port
and held a long conference with Su
perintendent Fitzgerald of the Plant
line of steamers and it is believed that
orders were given to have the boat
I ready for sailing at a moment's no tic

j The Solace Reaches Key West and Will
Probably Oo to Cuba.
KEY WI .'ST, May 12—The ambu
lance ship Solace, having on board
four surgeons, eight nurses, the linesi
j surgical appliances and accommoda
tions for 100 wounded, has arrived her.
from Hampton Roads. She also has
on board many delicacies f*r the sick
During the trip to this port the So
lace encountered a hurricane which
lasted 40 hours. She weathered it
beautifully.
Commander Dunlap believes his P.rst
orders will be to proceed to the block
ading fleet off Cuba, make the round
of the warships and distribute suppliei
to the sailors which have been con
tributed by the Colonial Dames. Furth
er supplies for the sick on the warships
will be shipped here after the first lot
is distributed. _
An Offer Declined.
WASHINGTON, May 12.—The navy
department felt obliged to decline the
offer made by some wealthy New York
gentlemen, headed by O. H. P. Bel
mont, to build and equip a torpedo
boat for the use of the government
during the war. Possibly the declina
tion was brought about through the
condition attached to the /offer, that
the boat should be commanded by Mr.
Belmont, for without the least reflec
tion upon that gentleman the naval
officials have been obliged to decline
to establish the precedent of appoint
ing civilians to commands in this way.
The practice in some respects would
approach privateering.
Chief of Artillery.
WASHINGTON, May 12.—Brigadier
General John I. Rogers, the senior offi
cer of the artillery branch of the army,
has be: n appointed chief of artillery of
the army and placed in charge of the
heavy artillery of all the coast defen
ses. Until recently he was in command
of the Fifth artillery, stationed at Gov
ernor's island, X. Y. The office of
chief of artillery was created during
the civil war, but was abolished at its
conclusion.
Coast Patrol Vessels.
NEW YORK, May 12.—The navy de
partment has notifiol Admirai Mvocn
of the coast defense fleet that the tugs
Teeumseh, Sioux, Algonquin and the
revenue cutler Morrill had been >r
dered d.fached from the North At
lantic squ! iron and were to be turned
over to him for service as coast patrol
vessels.

OLD POINT COMFORT, .May 12.
The New Orleans has finished coaling

passeii engineer and two cadet engi
neers arrived here and joined the

CENSOR ON ALL TELEGRAMS
Terrible Nature of the Rioting at
Milan Confirmed.
The llread Issue Is n Mere Pretext For
the Insurrection Prepared IScforehand
by Associations of Navvies and ltall
way Kmployes, Witli a Strong Socialist
and Republican Following The Jtlot-
Ing Is Confined to the Richest Dis
tricts In the Country, Hoping to Over
throw the House of Savoy In Favor of !
a Itepublie—Censorship Dispatches Re- 1
ports That Tranquility Iteigns Over the
Entire Kiugduin.
LONDON, May 12.—The Rome cor- |
respondent of The Times sends by mail j
a long dispatch which the censor had
j refused to allow to be transmitted by i
! wire, practically confirming the ter- j
| rible nature of the rioting at Milan and j
j elsewhere.
The Times correspondent explains j
that the bread issue is a mere pretext !
| for insurrection prepared beforehand j
: by associations of navvies and railway i
employes, with a strong Socialist and j
i Republican leaven, has long been '
! working. He says: "Beside many other ;
I proofs of this statement, it will suffice j
j to say that the rioting is confined to j
j the richest districts in the country. |
i Another strong political motive un- j
derlying the movement is the well- j
known desire of the Vatican and the j
clericals to foment disorders, hoping j
; thereby to overthrow the house of Sa- j
J voy in favor of a republic which might !
! pave the way to a restoration of the j
temporal power of the pope."
ITALY TRANQUIL.
Censorship l>i«patelics Mali*' the An
nouncement hut It Can He Doubted.
ROME, May 12.—A semi-official note
I just issued asserts that "tranquility I
i prevails throughout the kingdom."
Acccordin: to the same authority,
the Russian government has officially
j notified Italy that rumors of Russia's
intention to prevent the export of cer
i eals are unfounded.
The military organ, Esercito, pub
lishes an order calling under arms the
, reservists employed on the railways.
! They are not to leave their employ
| ment but are to be under military law
I and thus prevent railway strikes and
| agitation.
The governor of Milan has issued a
I decree declaring that persons found
i cycling in the province of Milan will
| be court martial.
Another decree prolongs to May 18
j bills fallings due after May 7.
FIXING THE BLAME.
Two Papers an<l the Itaiiway Kmployes
Held Responsible.
ROME, May 12.—1t will still probably
be many days before one is able to
fully estimate the gravity of the riots
and the number of killed and wounded.
The two suppressed papers. The Rad
ical Secolo and The Republican italaia
del Popolo, of Milan, were undoubtedly
chiefly responsible for the riots there.
The latter Journal has been in the hab
it for some years of giving its sub
scribers Christmas gifts of revolvers
and hatchets, the latter inscribed in
the Milanese dialect with the motto
"Dalli al Tronco" (Strike at the trunk).
The regular subscribers were largely
priests.
It is said that all the Socialist ed
itors throughout the country have or
will be arrested and detained until
complete order is restored.
Evidence accumulates that the rail
way employes were chiefly responsible
for the risings. The order calling them
under arms is expected to have a good
deterent effect.
RIOTS AT MILAN.
Six Huudred Were Killed and Two
Thousand Wounded.
LONDON. May 12.—The Vienna cor
respondent of The Daily Telegraph,
describing the riots at Milan, says:
"One thousand persons were arrested,
600 killed and 2,000 wounded. In one in
stance 20 students were killed at the
main station of the Vicina railway
line. Three hundred rioters set lire
to all the railway carriages, and the
military, hurrying up, unfortunately
fired on the firemen who were trying to
disperse the rioters with a hose. Many
of the firemen were killed.

! says: "We wish we could believe the
\ j whole of Italy tranquil. Our corres
l pondents are unable to get their mes

j tranquil, it is strange that the Italian
I i government should close up all the

by the equipment bureau even during

Priceless Pain
"If n price cna be placed on pain, 'Mother's
Friend' is worth its weight in gold as an allevi
-1 ator. My wife suffered more in ten minutes with
either of her other two children than she did al
together with her last, having previously used
four bottles of ' Mother's Friend.' It is a blessing
to any one expecting to become a mother," says
a customer.
Thus writes Henderson Dale, Druggist,
ofCarmi, 111., to the Bradfield Regulator
| Company, of Atlanta, Ga., the proprie
tors and manufacturers of " Mother's
! Friend." This successful remedy is not
one of the many internal medicines ad
| vertised to do unreasonable things, but a
' scientifically prepared liniment especially
I effective in adding strength and elasticity
I to those parts of woman's organism which
bear the severest strains of childbirth.
The liniment may be used at any and
| all times during pregnancy up to the
j very hour of confinement. The earlier it
| is begun, and the longer used, the more
! perfect will be the result, but it has been
| used during the last month only with
I great benefit and success.
It not only shortens labor and lessens
the pain attending it, but greatly dimin
ishes the danger to life of both mother
and child, and leaves the mother in a con-
I dition more favorable to speedy recovery.
