NHW YORK , May 24. Official Informa
tion has been received at the Cuban lega
tion In this city of the sailing last Wednes
day fiom Tampa of the first Important ex
pedition by native Cubans. The expedition ,
which sailed in the steamer Florida , was
organized and commanded by General Jose
Morlet , whoso preliminary report , sent as
the expedition sailed , has been received
here. This report states that General Mor-
let has improved the opportunity to recruit
about 400 men , most all ot whom have seen
service under Gomez , Maceo and Garcia.
Kach one of them knows the Island from '
ono end to the other and Is possessed of
information regarding Spanish fortifications
and camps WJth the expedition under
Gencial Morlet' ' Is no less a person than
General Julio Sangullly , whose release wai
wrung fiom Weyler dm Ing the Cleveland
administration. 4
The expedition was far more Important '
than the number of men taken along would 1
Indicate. Th Florida carried a warlike
cargo. In the hold were plies of boxes con
taining no less than 30,000 Springfield rifles ,
with enough ammunition ot the right cali
ber to make them eftcctlvc. There were
rapid fire guns of the Hotchklss typ . These
arms will enable General Garcia to not
only equip 30,000 additional troops , but to
supply his own men with the ammunition
for which they have been in such urgent
|
need. He will also bo able" to form and
equip several batteries of light artillery
with rapid fire guns a weapon which has
always proven effective In the hands of the
Insurgents. Besides the large assignment
of guns and ammunition the Florida carried
supplies of food , clothing and medicine tor
the Insurgent army. There were also sev
enty-five mules for the formation of pack
trains to carry the supplies from the coast.
General Julio Saugullly accompanied the
expedition as chief of staff. Julio Sangullly

WASHINGTON. May 24. There was a
lapse Into sensational war rumors In Wash
ington today , after a week of comparatlvu
quietude. The rumora ranged all thu way
from the capture of the little Mangrove ,
with a crew of thirteen men , to thu reported
destruction of the entire Spanish fleet by
Sampson's nnil Schley'i combined fori-cs.
They were circulated with persistence ,
notwithstanding their denial as BOOH as they
could bo brought to tlio attention of any
omclnl capable of passing Judgment on
thelr'nccuracy.
As the day rolled along the ofllclals them
selves became apprehensive , ns was shown
by the frequency with which they called for
the latest newspaper bulletins.
At the close of the day It was again an
nounced In the most positive nmiinpr that
the Navy department had no tnfoimntloit
o warrant the report of any sort of engage
ment In the Windward passage. ThH did
ot specifically cover the waters of the Vtst
ndles , but In view of the fact Unit tliu de-
artment has almost pledged Itself to let
he public know of anything In the nature
f n general engagement , possibly the bul-
ctln announcement Is sufllclent to cover the
.ISO.
When Secretary Long started for homo ,
ifter nn exceptionally busy day , ho stated
o a group of newspaper men that the do-
artmcnt had received no Information of Im-
icrtnnce. In response to nn Inquiry as to
vhcre the Spanish fleet was located , Mr.
> eng replied that his belief was that It was
till at Santiago do Cuba.
Concerning the reported capture of the
Mangrove and the loss of other ships , the
ecrctary dismissed these stories as purely
"onjectural , and not supported by facts.
Void had come from the commander of the
Mangrove since the time of the alleged cap-
ure , showing that the ship could not have
jcen in the hands of the Spanish.
Wnr Hoard IN All HIKli < .
Mr. Long paid a handsome tribute to the
Var board , and stated there was no pur-
ese whatever of changing the present sys-
em , whereby this board co-operates with
ilm In giving every possible assistance and
tlvlcc , mainly In the way ot Information ,
o the admirals In command.
The office of the War board , the socre-
ary pointed out , was not to fight battles
hat was exclusively the province of the
quadron commandeis. The board acted
merely in nn advisory way , and nt no time
ad assumed executive functions.
The Spaniards appear to bo making ready
or something more than a defensive cam-
rnlgn at home , or at least they are trying
o create that impression by other means
han news bulletins that issue almost dally
rom Madrid.
The Navy department now has , through
ts own reliable sources/ reports of the
greatest activity in the Spanish navy yards
md of the preparation for sea and for a
eng voyage of two of the , torpedo boat de
stroyer's. It Is given out that they are to

Inquiries as to the 'whereabouts of the
Oregon brought a reply this afternoon to
the effect that the battleship vvus safe.
Nothing could be learned of Its location.
It Is probable that the telegrams said to
have emanated from the vessel really were
filed at Key West , but were brought to that
port on some dispatch boat from the Oregon
gen which is co-operating with our fleets.
The cutting of the cables at Santiago and
at San Juan de Porto Rico , as reported to
day , was a military move of the first Im
portance. Dlanco has yet one link left of
communication with the outer world but
the Spanish commander at San Juan now
dltlons In Spain or In Cuba , while the value
of that port as a place of refuge for the
Spanish flying squadron Is materially di
minished.
Other Cubic * Will He Cut.
It Is Bafo to say that the remaining cable
to Santiago will becut _ soon , like the others
. so that it Cervera Is misguided enough to
have entered Santiago harbor , he will be
completely out of touch with his home gov
ernment dn the one hand , and equally unable -
able to communicate with Dlanco ,
The Philippines expedition is now off in
dead earnest. The sending of these ships
will eftect the Hawaiian question. Like
the Charleston the transports must stop nt
Hawaii to replenish their coal bunkers from
the great heaps of coal that Consul General
Howaid has been piling up for months past
If the H.iwalians let us tnKo this coil
without the pretext that we are using It to
make our way to our nearest home pott

casrs , they will stand convicted of a gro i

B

States In hostility to Spain.
The taking of coal by the American ships
nt Hawaii , to make an extsnslvo campaign
against the Spanish possessions , It Is be-
Moved hero , will result In compelling tin
United States either to assume a protector
ate over the Islands , or to annex them.
Late this afternoon It was ascertained thai
! the rablo from Santiago that was cut by
the American war ship St. Louis was nol

running from Santiago to Haytl througl
Uuantanamo , but ono of the two Engllst

There are thousands of men and women this moment who have been ruined for lifo by worry. Worry afreets every

SAN FRANCISCO , May 24. Four""com-
.tallies ot the Fourteenth Un ted Sta'o Infaa
try ( regulars ) , the .ull regiment of Oregon
volunteers and a picked battalion of fifty
leavy artillery left the Presidio this morning
and boarded the transports City of Sydney
and Australia , preparatory to starting for
Manila. Yesterday's scenes , when the First
regiment of California volunteers marched
to the dock , were re-enacted today.
Long before daylight the big camp nt the
Presidio was astir with the men in blue
ready to put the finishing touches on their
) acklng. The "regulars , " consisting of com
panies C , D , n and r of the Fourteenth In-
'untry , marched quickly out of camp at G:30 :
this morning and were well on their way to
the Pacific Mall dock before the citizens of
: ho town wer * avvaro that the movement had
jegun. The ( Tt'gon regiment , however , did
not leave the Pfe'slo'lo ' until 8 o'clock and by
that time an enormous crowd had assembled
along the llno'of march. Just previous to
starting the rekimefit was drawn up In the
form of a holjijjivj ijquare .and a beautiful
stand of colors was presented to It by Colonel
Cofley , former ) in , command of the regi
ment. Then tlje conjmand "Forward march"
was given and the , strains of "Red. White
and Blue" the cglmcnt swung into column
of fouis and marched through the Presidio
gateway. fl ) , ;
The people of San Francisco , realizing
that the dcpartng'JEoldlcrs | were already
well away fiomuthcir , own homes put extra
warmth Into thel'r greetings and made the
Oregon men fefl thqt they had friends hero
nlsb. As the troops marched out of the
Presidio the men ot the Seventh California'
volunteers lined the roadway , and though
envious of the good Iu6k of their camp com
rades In being selected to go before them ,
cheered them vigorously on their way.
When the down-town section was reached
bombd were fired , whistles blown and the
crowds yelled words of encouragement to
the marching soldiers. Women pressed for
ward Into the lines and gave flowers to
the men , while patriotic citizens bought
baskets ot oranges and other fruit and
through the agency of small boys distrib
uted them to the departing soldiers. The
men from Oregon seemed thoroughly to ap
preciate the good feeling of the people of
California and in spite of their heavy loads
of blankets and haversacks , marched with
their heads up and shoulders squared over
the first stage of ' their long journey to the
Philippine Islands' .
There was another enormous crowd at
the Pacific Mall dock , but profiting by yes
terday's experience , a large force of police
was able to keep the people within bounds.
Arriving at the dock the Oregon regiment ,
with the exceptions ot companies F , I and
M , boarded the Australia. The three
other companies , together with the four
companies of regulars and artillery cm-
barked on the transport City of-Sydney.
Colonel Summers will be in command of the
majority of the Oregonlans and Major East-
wick will be In charge of the three com
panies of the artillery on the Sydney. The
transports were all in readiness for the
troops , who marched on board with little
delay. About noon the steamers left the
docks and anchored out In the stream near
he City of Pekln. There the finishing
ouches will be given to the cargoes of
he transports , and tomoirow morning the
.hreo big steamships wllLntart for Manila.
The Xealaudla , which Tin been chartered
by the government as a troop ship , Is ex
acted to arrive tomorrow. It will dock
at once and will probably bo ready for the
Inal fitting up by Saturday. Major Long
las Inspected the collier Progresso with
a vlovv to Its use as a transport for coal ,
lorses and mules , and has wired a favorable
report to Washington. He will report
.oday as to the suitability of the collier
Lcelenaw.
Colonel Hale of the Colorado volunteers
lias received Instructions to have his men
ready for embarkation on Thursday for Ma
nila. This regiment Is fully equipped , only
lacking ammunition , which will be served
tomorrow. It larsald they will start on the
steamer Roanoke , though that vessel has

Dr. Day , the mining commissioner , is In
ecstacles over the receipt of a mineral ex
hibit which ho enthusiastically declares Is
something never undertaken to be shown at
any exposition and a thing which very few
people on this earth have ever seen. Ho
even went so far as to declare that this
exhibit was an Improvement upon the work
of nature. After the exuberance of the
doctor subsided slightly ho found time to
say that the exhibit Is a hal fsectlon of a
carborundum furnace , with the product
shown Just as It appears In the furnace.
Carborundum Is n manufactured product
which Is next In hardness to the diamond.
U U never found In nature , but Is made
In nn electrical furnace where It Is sub
jected to a tremendous heat. After the
material' Is madd th * funace is destroyed in
order to get the valuable product out , and
the exhibit which Dr. Day has secured shows
the manufactured product at this stage. The
feat of making a , section of the
furnace and product v > aa a most
difficult one , and the task of traiid-
portlng it was much more difficult. It was
accomplished , however , and the exhibit will
be given the place of honor In the Mines
building. Aside from the great rarity of
this product of electrical science , It Is very
beautiful and Dr. Day predicts that It will
bo ono of the main attractions of the Mines
building.
"Another exhibition of great valui which
has been received Is a collection of tur
quoise from New Mexico , valued at about
$2,000. This collection will bo placed In
the largo octagonal gem case , which has
been Installed at the exact center of the
main floor ot the Mines building. Dr. Day
says this variety of turquoise Is the only
variety found anywhere In the world which
does not change color and It has the finest
color of any which has over been discov
ered.
