tecUoaof Saiapaoa'a SaaAroa.
WASHuraTOS, May 31. The military
invasion of Caba baa began. Ualeas
the orders of the war departmeat mis
carried at an early hour yesterday morn
ing the troops that, have gathered at the
gulf ports began to break camp and
march aboard transports waiting to
carry them to the enemy's territory.
About 'So of these ships, the biggest and
fastest that could be obtained suitable
for the purpose, had been gathered
ready to receive troops. They will ac
commodate about 30,0011 men, for, in a
short voyago like that from one of the
gulf ports to Cuba, it is possible, with
safety and comfort, to carry a much
larger number of men aboard ship than
would be admissible in the case of a
cruise to the Philippines, for instance.
How many troops started, where they
took ships, where they are bound for,
are questions which the directing spirits
of the campaign refuse positively to
answer. They have no desire that the
Spanish should have opportunity
.afforded them to gather fore to attack
our soldiers as they land. Therefore,
nothing of the details of thia first move
ment can be learned. There is a sus
picion that the start will be made from
Tampa and Mobile, and it is probable
that in such case the fleet of transports
will converge at Key West to pass andci
the convoy of the warships, which Ad
miral Sampson has provided to insure
the safety of the troops during the pass
age across the Flbr1a straits to ensure
them against attack at the hands of
some stray Spanish cruiser or gunboas.
Four Cxpodltloarf.
It is probable that there will bo no
less than four separate military expedi
tions and that these will be landed at
four different points. Whether Porto
Bico is one of these points or not can
not be learned. Before the entire force
which it is proposed to use in Cuba can
be landed, the transports must make
four separate voyages across the straits.
Arrangements have been made to uti
lize the services of the insurgents to the
largest possible extent. The govern
ment already has sent expeditions to a
large number of points on the island
and landed arms for the insurgents.
Most of the parties succeeded perfectly
in their object and it was said at the
war department that a sufficient num
ber of the insurgents have been armed
to constitute a very effective support
for the troops when they land.
A war conference was held at the
White house at 3 o'clock yesterday
afternoon by the president, the two
war secretaries, Alger and Long, and
Major General Miles, in command of
the army. Vice President Hobart, who
accompanied the president to Arling
ton and returned with him to lunch,
was present a part of the time, and
Secretary Day, who bad jnst returned
to Washington, also dropped ia during
tho conference. After the entire situa
tion, naval and military, had been gone
over, Secretary L :ng retired and Sec
retary Alger and General Miles re
mained to discuss more in detail the
military operations now about to bo
put into execution, as a result of the
definite official information that ihe
Spanish squadron is securely held
within Santiago harbor.
Naturally those who participated in
the conference observed strict reticence
regarding it. It was stated, however,
in an authoritative quarter that the
discasskm had covered the entire range
of aaval and military operations, with
particular view to the active move
ments about to begin. General Miles
brought with him a memorandum
showing the exact dispositioB of tho
military, forces now concentrated at
yanous points throughout the country,
with the number of men at Tampa and
other southern points ready for em
barkation. He also made known that
at 1 o'clock yesterday morning, immed:
lately following the receipt of definite
information of the presence of the
Spanish fleet at Santiago, he had immediately-gone
to the war department
aad issued telegraphio orders putting
the troops ia motion, and thus starting
ths forward movement of the: military
arm of ths service. Farther .than this
those attending ths conference would
not discuss their plans.
AvBllaMo For Barrio.
It was said at the war departmeat
that chief reliance would be placed at
the outset on United States regulars,
most of whom are centered in Florida,
and such volunteer regiments as were
thoroughly equipped and reasonably
well seasoned for service. Although
the officials will not state how many
troops are available for active service,
it is roughly estimated that there are
about 90,000 regulars and 18,000 volun
teers at Tampa- These iaclude 17 regi
ments of regular infantry and 14 regi
ments of voianteer infantry, If battal
ions of artillery aad five regiments of
the regular cavalry. The infantry
force, regular aad volunteer, is about
W,000 me, the cavalry about 4,000, the
artillery about 1,200. How many of
these have been or will be dispatched
to aay given point, or to several points,

(Copyright, 1893, by Jamea Gordon Bennett)
Washington, May 31. Is Spain's
Cadiz squadron on its way to western
waters? This question is one which
naval officers in authority are asking
each other. They have taken means to
abtain a solution of it by dispatching
the auxiliary cruiser St. Louis to as
certain the fleet's whereabouts and
cable the result of her search to Wash
ington. The suspicion entertained by the au
thorities that the Spanish reserve squad
ron is bound for western waters has de
veloped from information they received
on Friday last announcing the depar
ture of the armorclads of the Spanish
fleet from Cadiz. The dispatch' stated
thatthe shins had ostensibly scone out
for target pratice, their -oommsa&ngf:
officers being directed to wait at the
rendezvous for further instructions as
to the course they should take.
It is probable that the Yale and tho
Harvard will be relieved from duty
near Santiago de Cuba and resume their
stations to the west of the Wiudward
islands on the lookout for Spanish re
inforcements. So far, the officials know, Spain's
available Cadiz force consists- of the
battleship Pelayo, the armored craiser
Carlos Y.. the protected cruiser Alfonzo
XD. and four torpedo boat destroyers.
Shortly before Lieutenant 6. L. Dyer,
the naval attache of the United States,
left Madrid, he reported that work was
being pushed on the armored cruiser
Cardinal Cisneros, Catalnna, -Princess
de Austnrias and Pedro d'Argona, and
on the torpedo gun vessels Dona de Mo
lina, Marques de la Victoria and Don
Alvaro de Basan.
The officials are absolutely in the
dark as to whether these vessels are
ready for service, but if they are, there
is more reasons, they believe, for crash
ing the Cervera sqaadron at the earliest
practicable moment. It has beeu
known that the armored cruisers were
to be ready some time during the sum
mer and that two of the torpedo vessels
were to be placed in commission dur
ing the present month.
With these vessels in commission.
Spain will have, even without the Cer
vera squadron, six armorclads, one of
whiolt is a battleship and the other fire
armored omisers. .The junction of
these yaasels with Admiral Cervera's
forces would make Spain superior to
the United States on the seas, at least
with respect to the number of armor
clads. Against her ten armored ships the
Uaited States would have bat seven,
four of which are battleships, one being
a second-class battleship, and two ar
mored cruisers. To prevent the possi
bility of such superiority tha authori
ties propose to crush Admiral Cervera
with all possible dispatch. .

doing honor to the patriotic dead. The
ceremonies were held simultaneously
ia several parts of the cemetery, bnt
the main ceremonies were in the am
phitaester close to the old Lee mansion.
There some 3,000 or more people gath
ered, while on the platform was a dis

Just back of them sat Commissioner of
Peaaioas Evans aad other officials, the
Ohiaese miaieter aad the Korean min
ister and part.es from their legations.
Prior to tha services there was a proces
sion .of members of the Grand Army,
the Sobs of Veterans, the Woman's Re
lief Corps, ex-soldiers and sailors
aad the general public, headed by
the Fourth Artillery band, halting
'for a minute for brief services at ths
'Tomb of tha Unknown," the band
meanwhile playing a dirge, and then
marching through the grounds, pro
ceeding to the work of decorating the
graves. The president and party were
very prompt in arriving and soon after
they reached the platform the assembly
was called to order by Commander Ar
thur Hendricks of the department of
the Potomac G. A. B.
The exercises embraced a number of
addresses, poems, singing by a quartet
and the customary reading of orders.
The feature of the ceremonies, how
ever, was the address of Senator Thurs
ton of Nebraska, who was introduced
as one always ready to lend his aid to
the cause of liberty snd patriotism.
His oratioB was listened to most at
tentively by the audience and prolonged
applause greeted his reference to the
absence of sectionalism and to the pres
ence of Admiral Dewey in the harbor
of Manila.
The presidential party left at the con
clusion of Senator Thurston's oration,
driving almost immediately back to the
city. Hon. John C. Chaney, ex-assistant
attorney general of the United
States, also delivered an oration, in the
course of which he predicted that no
nation whose most glorious boast is the
feat of its bull fighters can long with
stand the advancing columns of our
military hosts.
Simultaneously with the exercises in
the amphitheater, a smaller assemblage
gathered on the front porch of
the mansion, where the confederate
chieftain, Lee, spent most of his life, to
attend special naval services at the
tomb of Admiral Porter. Ex-Secretary
of the Navy Hilary A. Herbert of Ala

cult to grasp by men in whom the idea
af personal independence was so strong.
The captain was no better thaa tha
private in the village from which both
hailed, and it was sot strange that the
private, when ordered by his superior
officer to fetch a bnciFof water' fkoai
the spring; should retort: "Get it your
self. I got it yesterday. It's your turn
today." -This was not insobordiaation
in the view of tha rank aad file, but
merely the sssartioa of a proper spirit
of manliness.
It happened not infrequently during
ths civil war that, the private waa a
richer man than the officer, aa in the
case of Elias Howe, the inventor of the
sewing machine, who on several occa
sions presented a fine horse to some ma
jor or colonel too poor to purchase such
a mount himself.
There was another soldier of this
stamp, Koch by name, who was well
known in Philadelphia. He left a for
tune of over f 1,000,000. It fell to his
lot one night to be stationed sentinel
over a baggage wagon. The weather
was cold and wet This set the sentinel
musing. After remaining oa post for
half an hour he called lustily:
' "Corporal of the guard!"
The corporal came and inquired what
was wanting. Koch wished to be reliev
ed for a few minutes, having something,
to say to tho officer in command of the
post. His wish was gratified, and in a
few minutes he stood in the presence, of
General Mscphenon.
"General." said be, "what ia the
value of that wagon over which I am
sentinel?" :
"How should 1 know? Wad that all
yon wanted?" responded the general im
patiently. "Something approximate," insisted
the soldier.
"Ob, well, $1,000 perhaps."
"Very well. General Macpherson,"
responded the private. "I will write a
check for that aniount, and then I will
go to bed." Yontb's Companion.
WHAT THE BAND PLAYED.
Aa Kxettlac Dlaacr Taala
Atlaatla Uar.
An instance of what it calls "trans
atlantic courtesy" is related by Le Gaa
lois of Paris. One of the greatest singers
of France, a woman whom it says every
body will at once identify on a mo
ment's - consideration, was returning
from New York ou one of the German
liners. One evening, glancing at ths
programme of the concert that was to
be played at dinner, she saw the an
nouncement of a triumphal march cele
brating the German victory of 1871.
"lam sure," she said to a fellow
countryman sittiug near, "that this is
not intended as a discourtesy to us, but
I don't care! I'm too much of a patriot
not to express my disapproval of it in
my own way when they begin to play
thia piece. Wait and . see. ' '
The captain, having caught the gist
of these remarks and noticing the great
artist's agitation, glanced at the pro
gramme to see what caused it; then,
without showing any surprise, he spoke
to one of the waiters in a low tone.
At the moment when the German tri
umphal march was due to begin the
French singer, who could hardly con
trol her agitation, prepared to leave the
table. The first chord was played, the
artist arose and stood, pale, agitated,
amazed, while the officers and other
passengers also, got up and smiled sym
pathetically at her. And the band play
ed "The Marseillaise!"
Haw Senator Vert Obtalaed His Desk.
Many good stories could be told of
the alertness which senators display ia
securing well placed desks, but the ex
perience of Mr. Vest is especially worth
relating. When in 1883 the civil service
law was being discussed, Mr. Pendle
ton, ah Ohio Democrat, and Mr. Dawes
had presented bills. By a shrewd bit of
politics the Republicans abandoned their
support of the Dawes bill and voted for
Mr. Pendleton's measure, their votes,
together with the votes of the Demo
crats favorable to the measure, being
sufficient to pass it. Aa the bill waa
about to be voted on Mr. Cockrell mov
ed that its title be changed so as to
read, "A bill to retain Republicans in
office. " As soon as it passed, Mr. Vest
filed a claim for Mr. Pendleton's seat
"Ths author of such a bill," said he,
"will never come back to the senate."
Mr. Vest was right, and at the begin
ning of the next congress he moved into
Mr. Pendleton's vacant chair. Wash

ESS aa Food.
Would it not be wise to substitute
more eggs for meat in onr daily diet?
About one-third of an egg is solid nutri
ment This is more than can be said of
meat There are no bones, no tough
pieces that have to bo laid aside. A
good egg is made op of 10 parts shell,
60 parts white and 30 parts yolk. The
white of an egg contains 66 percent
wster and the yolk 52 per cent Prac
tically an egg s animal food, and yet
there ia none of the disagreeable work
of the butcher necessary to obtain it
The vegetarians of England asa eggs
freely, and many of these men are 80.
and 00 years old and have been remark
ably free from sickness. Eggs are best
when cooked four minutes. This takes
away the animal taste, which ia offen
sive to some, but does not harden the
white or yolk so as to make them diffi
cult to digest An egg if cooked very
hard is difficult of digestion, except by
those persons possessed of stout stom
achs. Such eggs should be eaten with
bread and masticated very finely. An
egg spread on toast is fit for a king if
kings deserve better food than anybody
else. Fried eggs are much less whole
some than boiled ones, An egg dropped
into hot water is not only a clean and
handsome but a delicious morsel. Most
people spoil the taste of their eggs by
adding pepper and salt A little sweet
butter is the best dressing. Eggs con
tain much phosphorous, which is sap
posed to be beneficial to those who ass
their brains much. New York Ledger.
The mean summer temperature of

Three Opinions:
"The CHICAGO RECORD is m model
newspaper in every sense of the word.'
Hmrrisburg (Pa.) CM.
"There is no paper published in America
that so nearly approaches the true Journal'
Istic ideal as The CHICAGO RECORD." -From
"Newspaperdom" (New York).
"I have come to the firm conclusion, after
a long test and after a wide comparison
with the Journals of many cities and coun
tries, that The CHICAGO RECORD comes
as near being the ideal daily Journal as we
are for some time likely to find on these
mortal shores." Prof. J. T. Hatfield in
