THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, MAY 31, 1898. VIXEN BROOKLYN MARBLEHEAD COMMODORE SCHLEY’S FLEET BEFORE SANTIAGO DE CUBA. MASSACHUSETTS 1 OWA INVASION SPANISH WAR | THREE BARS OF CUBA | COMMENCED Twenty Thousand Regulars| on the Way to the | Islands. Poi ing Carefully the Authorities. Call Office, Riggs House, | Washington, May 30. ‘The military invasion of Cuba has be- | gun. Unless the orders of the War De- | partment have miscarried at an early hour this morning the troops that have been gathered at the gulf ports began to break camp and march aboard transports waiting to carry them to the | enemy’s territory. About twenty-five of these ships, the biggest and fastest that could be obtained table for the pur- pose, had been gathered ready- to re- ceive the s. They wili accommo- date about 30,00 , for in a short t from one of the gulf voyage like tha ports to Cuba it is possible with safety and comfort to carry a much larger number of men aboard ship than would be admissible 1 of a cruise to the Philipp! ance. How many troops started this morn- ing, where they took ships or whither they are bound are questions which the | directing spirits of the campaign re- fuse positively to a we They have | no desire that the sh should have an opportunity dfforded them to gather forces to attack our soldiers as they land. Therefore, nothing of the deteils of this first movement can be learned. There is a suspicion that the start will be made from Tampa and Mobile, and in such case the fleets of transp) s will converge at Key West to pass un- der the convoy of the war ships which Admiral Sampson has provided (o in- sure the safety of the troops during the passage across the Florida stralis to protect them against attack at the hands of some stray Spanish cru T or gunboat. 1t is probable that there will be no less than four separate military expe- ditions, and that these will be landed at four different po! ‘Whether Porto | Rico is one of the points or not can- not be learned.

Vice President Hobart, | who accompanied the President to Arl- | ington and returned with him to lunch, | was present a part of the time, and | Secretary Day, who had just returned | to Washington, also dropped in durlngi the conference. After the entire situa- Hon. naval and military, had been gone | over, Mr. Long retired and Mr. Alger and General Miles remained to discuss more in detail the military operations | now ahout t) be put into execution as | & result of the definite officlal informa- | tion that the Bpanish squadron is se- | curely heid within Bantiago harbor, | Naturally, those who participated in ! the canference obser d strict reticence | regarding it, It was stated, however, J in an authoritetive quarter, that the nts of Embarkation and Land- { regular c: [although as to this there i{s no precise official statement—to have the troops Guarded by discussion had covered the entire range of naval and military operations, with a particular view to the active move- ments about to begin. General Miles brought with him a memorandum showing the exact disposition of the military forces now concentrated at various 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 this morning immediately following the receipt of definite infor- mation of the presence of the Spanish fleet at Santiago, he had gone to the ‘War Department and had issued tele- graphic orders putting the troops in motion and thus starting the forward movement of the military arm of the service. Further than this, those at- tending the conference would not dis- cuss their plans. | It was said at the War Department that the chlef rellance would be placed at the outset on the United States regulars, most of whom are centered in Florida, and in such volunteer regi- ments as are thoroughly equipped and reasonably well seasored for service. Although the officials will not state how many troops are available for ac- tive service, It is roughly estimated that there are about 20,000 regulars and 12,000 volunteers at Tampa. These include seventeen regiments of regular | infantry and fourteen regiments of | volunteer infantry, twelve battalions | of artillery nd five regiments of the alry. The infantry force, regular and volunteer, is about 25,000 men, the cavalry about 4000, the artil- lery about 1200. How many of these have been or will be dispatched to any given point or to several points is not disclosed as that Is a part of the secret campaign plans of the Government. Back of this force are other avail- able regiments at Mobile, New Orleans and other points easily accessible to Tampa. Still farther back is the large volunteer camp at Chickamauga, com- prising about 40,000 infantry vol- unteers, 1000 cavalry _volunteers and three regiments of artillery volun- teers. It is understood to be the plan— at Chickamauga take the place nf‘ those at Florida ports ds fast as the latter leave for active service, thus keeping a large force always ready for embarkation from Florida. Aside from the troops already speci- | fled, there are 18,000 men at Camp Al- ger, near Washington, and lesser bodies of troeps on Long Island and in vari- qus States. The 75,000 volunteers un- der the recently issued second call con- stitute still another reserve, which, however, is yet to be organized and equipped. General Miles will not state where his headquarters will be located, and, indeed, it is probable he will move | | from place to place as circumstances demand. General Shafter will be in immediate | command of the forces now embarking, | while General Miles will have general | supervision of this and all military | movements. | The Centennial Sails.

One is seeking peace, the other war, both inspired by the same ldea, which is for the ben- efit of Spain. The former say the only palliative of our ills is peace. In prolonging the war there is no possibility of a fav- orable issue for us. Let us be practical and give up ideals. Let us look at the reality and not at- tempt Impossibilities, for it is impossible we can break the mathematical and logical law which demonstrates, without ro- mance, that one is less than ten.” The Evoca adds: ‘“Are such ideas unpatriotic? Those who utter them seek the well-being of the fatheriand.” [OXOIOXOXOXO) ® @ @ @ © JoJOJOoXOROOJOXOX QRO OXOXOROXCKOXO)] VALENCIA, May 30.—The “death or victory” policy hitherto advocated in the conduct of the war no longer finds The watchword to-day is: “Wait. Let the United States weary of the war and disgust Europe by pro- longing the struggle,” say these tacti- cians. “What we have lost is already lost, and every day that passes without seeing the effective occupation of Cuba by the American army brings us nearer a reaction in American opinion against the jingoism that provoked the war and increases the impatience of com- mercial Europe at its continuance.” Meanwhile war subscriptions are visibly flagging. The principal contri- butions have latterly been drawn from patriotic bull-fights and theatrical per- formances, which a large section of the ® | community condemns as unworthy and even disgraceful means of stimulating patriotism in times of natlonal peril. Ecclesiastical authorities have just is- sued an urgent and touching appeal to the clergy in behalf of the war fund. “In the presence of the great peril through which our country is passing,” says this document, ‘“every sacrifice should be small and insignificant. The enthusiasm of your flocks must be kin- dled, not only by word, but by example. You must make clear to them that the aid required is for their own sons, hus- bands, brothers and fellow-country- men, who are fighting the common enemy, and call for help to gain the victory. On the issue of the struggle depend in a great measure our honor, integrity, our territory and the well- being of our native land, and even of the religion itself which we possess.” THE MONADNOCK PUTS BACK TO PORT ANGELES PORT ANGELES, Wash.,, May 30.— The U. 8.

BARRY AND LEON FIGHT A TWENTY-ROUND DRAW Little to Choose Between the Two Boxers After a Scientific ‘ Contest. | NEW YORK, May 30.—Jimmy Barry and Casper Leon met at the Lenox Ath- letic Club to-night for a twenty-round | contest for the bantam championship of | the world, and after they had fought| twenty rounds, which were productive of | most scientific work by both boys, the referee, Johnny White of this city, called in a draw. There was littie to choose be- | tween the boxers at the finish. Barry was a big favorite at 2 to 1, but the| money was lost on the result. Several | bets were made at odds on that Leon | would not stand six rounds. The New | Yorkers who snapped these up were the | only winners during the night. Parry weighed 103 pounds and Leon 106. | Johnny White of this city was mutually | agreed upon to referee the bout. fhe mill was lively from the beginning, Barry rushing the fighting, but having | no material advantage. In fact, the ex- | changes were about evenly divided, and | no really telling blows were struck up | | to the thirteenth round. In the thirteenth, | Barry did some wild fighting, and Leon | landeéd a stinging left on his nose, which started the blood. Leon ended the round | with a hard right swing on Barry’s neck. The fourteenth round was also in Leon's favor. In the fifteenth, during a clinch, Barry landed his left ‘on Casper’s ear, but the referee said nothing. In the six- teenth Leon jabbed a hard left on the | face without a return. Leon landed left | and right and put a hard right hook on | Barry's jaw and a rib jab over the heart. | In "the seventeenth Casper jabbed his right on the wind, which made Barry | grunt. Barry uppercut him. Leon jabbed | left on face as the gong sounded. | Round 18 was without advantage to | either man, and in the nineteenth Barry rushed again but gained nothing by it. Leon was bleeding from the nose at the end of the round, but Barry looked the weaker of the two. In the closing round, Leon landed the left on the face and Barry clinched. At close quarters they exchanged rights and lefts on the head | repeatedly and each landed two hard | ones on the face. The decision was popular with the spec- tators. e Hammer-Throw Record Beaten.
