TAMPA, Fla., May 23.—The Red Cross Society ship State of Texas, with Miss Clara Barton, representative of the Natlonal Red Cross Society of America, and a corps of surgeons and trained nurses, arrived at Port Tampa to-day and cast anchor near the gun- boat Helena. The vessel, which is fully fitted up for hospital purposes and carries supplies enough for the equip- ment of several Red Cross stations, will, it is said, follow the fleet of troops into Cuban waters.

In | the hospital at Serro, where sixty chil- dren were being cared for when Miss Barton left the island, there are now a hundred and sixty children receiving medical attention. “Generai Blanco himself belongs to the Red Cross Society of Spain,” said Miss Barton, “and I am confident that | the Red Cross work in Cuba will not be interfered with.” Miss Barton left for Washington to- night. J. Castellanos, a young man who ar- rived from Key West about three weeks | ago and who registered at the Pal- | metto Hotel as from New York, was ar- rested to-day by order of General Shaf- ter as a suspicious spy. Castellanos has been watched for two weeks. He was | plentifully supplied with money. Cas- | tellanos wrote as many as 100 letters a day, and this, together with the discov- | ery ‘that he was traveling under an as- | sumed name, resulted in his arrest to- day. The case will be thoroughly in- vestigated. Elaborate arrangements have been made for the banquet to be held at the Tampa Bay Hotel to-morrow in honor | of Queen ctoria’s birthday. Covers | for about 250 guests will be laid. Everything now walts on news from | the ‘fleets. On the arrival to-day of | the Iroquois, Santiago and Cherokes, twenty-one transports are now at the pert, every one fitted ready for embark- | ation. These ships will easily accom- | modate between 15,000 and 16,000 men, somewhat over the total number of | regular troops in camp here. It s | thought thirty-six hours after orders are received to embark every man, | horse and pound of supplies can be placed on board the vessels in waiting. |0BJECT TO THE SLOGAN “REMEMBER THE MAINE." | BOSTON. May 23.—At the opening of the State Unitarian Association’s anni- | vérsary week a resolution addressed to Secretary of the Navy John D. Long | was adopted, declaring that “As the os- tensible and only justifiable move for | entering upon the war with Spain was | the deliverance of a neighboring people | and ourselves from relations to them that had become intolerable, we wish to express our -abhorrence of the spirit | of vengeance manifested in such a war | ery as ‘Remember the Maine,’ and beg you to refuse to purchase goods of any kind carrying this motto and in all ways to discourage and discountenance yers of this place, and prospective can- which has thrown the town into a fu- ror and may yet cause the shedding of blood, was the outgrowth of a disagree- ment bet-.een the officials of the mining company and Puma Brothers over a bill for wood cutting. The trouble dates back to last Janu- ary. Puma Brothers had been engaged to cut several hundred cords of wood and the mining companv, which in- cludes such prominent men as J. W. 1s of the Alameda Street Car Com- and Whitelaw, the wrecker, 1ed ned according to contract. E. B. Martinelli, now Distriet Attorney, en- tered suit for Puma Brothers. City At- torney Thomas Boyd was engaged by the company and succeeded in winning the case for his clients. A short time ago Attorney James W. Cochrane was engaged by Puma Broth- ers to renew the suit. He did so and last Sunday Constable McCoy of Bo- linas. with a force of deputies, made a descent upon the mine and carried off everything portable, including the | hoisting engine, all the groceries, the blacksmithing teols, wagons and horses and anything hands could be laid on. All these were stored in a large barn some distance away. On last Monday, the day following this bold sortie, the mine people learred of what had been done. About a dozen of their employes were armed and then the party, led by ung Pierson, proceeded to the barn where the goods were stored, in charge was overawed and soon everything was on its way back to the mine, the train comprising a half-dozen wagons and the hoisting engine, with a guard of six men in the lead and as many in the rear. Everything was put back in its place. The Puma Brothers have sworn out warrants for the arrest of young Pier- son and every man who helped in re- zovering the goods. In the meantime an armed company stands guard at the mine and the constables are baffled.

And It Is Not Likely That Any Such | Arrangement Will Be Agreed To. WASHINGTON, May 23.—It {s learn- | ed from thoroughly reliable sources here that an Anglo-American alllance has not been consummated and is not likely to be. 2 NEW YORK, May 23.—The World | has a cablegram from Kingston, Ja- maica, which asserts that an Angle- | American treaty for defensive purposes has already been signed, and that a | universal war is imminent. The news is generally discredited, as it is con- sidered highly improbable that the news of such an important treaty would come from Jamaica. LONDON, May 24.—The Dalily Chronicle eommenting on a_ dispatch | from its correspondent at Kingston, | Jamaica, who says that England has thrown eighteen months’ supplies into Jamaica, where all the officers have had their leave withdrawn, asks if England is going to take a hand in the Hispano-American war, and couples its correspondent’s report with { day that France is trying to buy the Canaries for $30,000,000.

Barbadoes and even nearer still to the United States. NO HOPE FOR ANNEXATION Certain to Be Defeated in the Senate. TOO LATE FOR ACTION. Ga., May 23.—Major General James F. Ward, recently in command of the Fifth corps at Tampa, reported here to- | day to General Brooke, having been as- 4’ signed by the War Department to the | command of the Third Corps now being | formed here. The first division of the first army | corps was reviewed to-day by its com- | mander, Major General James H. Wil- | son.

Senator White, who has been one of the most persistent opponents of an- nexation, to-day gave the following outline of his position on the question: “Before the present Congress as- sembled it was stated that the treaty would be pressed immediately on the | opening of the session. This was not done. On the contrary the matter was not called up until we were well into | January. The debate was quite active | for a while; then the subject was | dropped because the friends of the | treaty were short of votes and it has not since been revived in the Senate. It any attempt is made, now that the time for adjournment ought to be near, to reagitate annexation under the resolu- tion theory, the result cannot be favor- able to an early disposition of the im- portant legislation pending in Congress, but will keep Congress in session all summer. “The power to admit territory or de- pendencies by resolution is doubtful. | Texas came in by resolution, but was | admitted as a State under a provision | of the constitution expressly giving Congress the right to admit new States. | This and many more equally cogent ar- guments will be elaborated whenever this interesting matter shall be publicly debated. “The sensible thing to do is to sus- pend further proceedings on the sub- | ject of annexation until the war with Spain is over and we face the new prob- lems resulting from our success at arms.” SPANISH CRUISER FIRES ON A BRITISH VESSEL. Alleged Mistake That May Involve Madrid in Complications With England. ST. THOMAS, D. W. I, May 23.—The Spanish cruiser Isabel I1 while at San Juan fired on the British steamer Roth, which arrived at Porto Rico af- ter the bombardment. It is alleged the Spanish ship fired on the steamer, which was loaded with coal, with the intention of crippling her and thereby preventing her departure. The officers | of the Isabel II, however, claim the fir- ing was the result of an accident. CHICAGO, May 23.—A special from ‘Washington says: The firing upon the English ship Roth by the Spanish cruiser Isabel II promisés serious com- plications. The Spanish say it was a mistake, but the British and Ameri- cans think not. rapidity and precision. Then a column | of companies, that is, each company | marching in line, one behind another, the division.advanced in splendid form. | It was a grand sight to witness and all | the veterans in the camp enjoyed the unusual spectacle. The marching was, as a rule, in excellent time, the align- ments. accurate and the distances well | maintained. General Wilson expressed | himself as delighted and very proud of the fact that the divislon when ma- neuvering together for the first time.| had acted so much like regulars and | veterans. ‘e\\‘uh the morning sun glancing from | polished arms and trappings and the | silken stars and stripes and State flags | Waving in the breezes that came from Missfonary Ridge. the sight was a glorious one-and inspired the most en- | thusiastic patriotism in both spectators | d men in line. an'I‘AMI—’A, May 23.—Nearly all of the | transports chartered for the purpose of carrying (roogs from Tampa have | arrived here. he Leona, Iroquols, Santiago and Cherokee were to-day added to the lists, bringing the total number up to twenty-one, and two or three more are expected late this aft- | ernoon or to-night: All the transports | that have recently dropped anchor at | Port Tampa were fitted with bunks | and stalls before leaving for the South. The new camping ground at Palmetto | Beach, south of Tampa, is now occu- pied by four regiments of volunteers. It is expected that most of the volun- teer troops will be located there. WASHINGTON, May 23.—Late to- day orders were issued from Adjutant- General Corbin’s office directing the | Thirty-ninth Michigan Volunteers to proceed to Washington instead of Chickamauga, as at first contemplated. “The First Arkansas Regiment will be ordered to Chickamauga. The mustering figures received at the War Department show .that, up to this time, 107,161 volunteers have taken the oath of allegiance to support the Uni- ted States Government. Orders to th following regiments to move to the front were given to-day: Thirty-third Michigan, Colonel Chas. L. Boynton commanding, to Chicka- mauga. Secgcmd Virginia, Colonel J. C. Bacon commanding, to Tampa. Second Kentucky, Colonel E. H. Caither commanding, to Chickamauga. Twenty-second Kansas, Colonel Hen- ry E. Lindsay commanding, to Camp Alger, Va. Major General Willlam M. Graham formally assumed command of Camp Alger to-day. So far as selected, his official staff consists of Major Ladd, Ninth Cavalry, quartermaster; Captain Little, depot commissary; and Major M. C. Martin, depot quartermaster. His personal staff will be Lieutenant Sum- meral, Fifth Artillery; Lieutenant De- | dered to Chickamauga caused | Francisco. vere, Twenty-third Infantry; and Ma- jor Heistand, formerly President Mc- Kinley’s military aid. General Graham has established his headquarters in the Graham House, about a mile from the camp propef. The headquarters are on a knoll overlooking the camp, and are sbeautifully located. General Graham made a thorough in- spection of the camp to-day, paying Captain Deschamps Decorated.

Surgeon General Girard reported during the day and continued the inspection. He is of the opinion that the water supply will be ample for all purposes. While there is considerable sickness among the mem- bers of the Sixth Illinols, the general health of the camp is excellent. To-day seventeen members of the Sixth Illinois were confined to the hospital. The illness in this regiment is due to the exposure of the men while en route to the camp. A hospital corps arrived from Fort McHenry, Baltimore, to-day and will instruct the volunteers how to take care of the sick. To-night §500. men are in the camp and the total will be swelled to-morrow to about 12,000. It is expected that the regiments now in camp will be organ- jzed to-morrow into brigades. To-morrow morning the First Cav- alry organizations will arrive at the camp. Troop A of New York City, under command of Captain Bagley, and Troop C of Brooklyn, under dom- mand of Captain Clayton, reached this city to-night and remained aboard the cars until morning.

Tallow dips are cheaper than electric lights; but they ruin the vision and what riches will replace a lost pair of eves? Flintlock muskets are cheaper than magazine rifles, but are not placed in the hands of our soldiers. Beware of the storekeeper who op- poses your wish for a certain article and sings the praises of something cheaper. He is looking out for him- self, and if the lower-priced goods did not put more money into his pocket than the higher priced, he would not be so anxious to sell them. Many a druggist or grocer when asked for a bottle of Duffy’'s Malt Whiskey, will produce an imitation or a substitute and tell you that it is every bit as good as Duffy’s. He wilfully misleads you; because he hopes to put a few cents into his own pocket. Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey is sold at the low- est price consistent with the highest standard of excellence. An imposing array of disinterested testimony is evi- dence of its value. ‘Who vouches for the swarm of imi- tators?

NEW YORK, May 23—New York's contingent of cavalry, composed of Troops A and C, started South early to- | day. The troopers go to Washington and thence to Falls Church, Va. They expect to go through later to Chicka- mauga, and there expect to join squads from other States and form a regiment. Captain Badgley is the senior officer of the command.
