Called Meeting to Be Held To- night at the Usual Place, The Matter of Finishing the New School Building and Other Subjects to Come Up, The board of education meets tu night in called session, and a lively time is expected. The matter of finishing the Broadway school bouse will come up, and it is this that may prove the bone of contention, 1s is understood the president will be authorized to advertise for bids but the trouble will be, who will be allowed to bid on the work. It is said seven of the members are In favor of allowing anyone to bid, while the others want all competitors to reside in Paducah, The former claim the board has not been treated as weil as it might by local contractors, and for this reason in favor allowing e body who desires to bid on work. As is no doubt already known, the building is to be completed in whole or part this year, and the money re- quired is several thousand dollars more than will be afforded by this year's levy. Some of the board want to complete the work at once, and pay the balance out of next year's levy, while others claims this would be illegal. the PATRIOTIC PUPILS.

Germany Said to Have Designs Upon the Little Islan Washington, May 27,—There 18 no doubt that there has been a complete reorganization of the plans of the war and navy department since the contirmation of the report that the Spanish tleet is securely blockaded in the harbor of Santiago. Commodore Schley is to be left there to look after Cervera, Sampson is to go to San Juan and complete the reduction of the fortifications. He is to be followed by an army of 25,000 soldiers to vccupy and hold the od of Puerto Rico, There are only 13,000 Spanish soldiers there, but the administration does not propose to take any chances, Spain is to be hit hard all along the line while she is powerless to obstruct or delay operations ia the sea, If the United States is to hold Pu- will be the best possible if we have actual pos- session when the terms of peace are arranged, If Spain should suddenly sue before the United States had erto Rico our. position We must take posession of the island and hold it permanently. We can not@onex Cuba, From that we are barfed by our declaration to set up a stable, independent government But.no stipulation interferes with the taking of Pnerto Rico. Permanent posession of it is desirable, because it wil give usa naval base in the West Indies which we need in view of the early construction of the Nica- ragna canal.’” nnexation to the United States will be welcomed by the native pop- ulation. The Puerto Rican patriots havea Junta in this country now. J, J, Henna is at the head of it. His principal associates are J. de M. Caraporte, Manuel Besoza and KR. H. Todd. The Puerto Ricans have raised the standard of revolt several timeés, and have had the same griev. aneés against Spain that Cuba has, But while there have been revolts and all the spirit of revolution, there has been very little fighting. The island is 95 miles long and 35 miles wide. The population is 813,000, of which 300,000 are negroes. Puerto Rico is a little nearer the equator than Cuba, but it has a moustainous interior, and the cli- mate is the finest in the West Indies. The troops that make up the 20,009 to 26,000 to go to Puerto Rico will draw the capital prize of this war. The plan at present under contem- platron is to have transports convoy the regiments now camped or about to be camped in the vicinity of Washington from Fortress Monroe or some Atlantic seaport to San Juap.
