H i Army Preparing to Go to Cuba. MAY LAND AT MATANZAS Regular Troops Now on the 'Way to Tampa Object Ig to Strike a De cisive Blow Before the Rainy Season Set In Work in War Department. Washington, April 80, A rather striking signification of the Invasion .of Cuba was made today in the charter. ing of eight large steamers, of an aver age capacity of about 2,000 tons, and able to carry from 500 to 1,000 passen gers each. These are to be used as a i--- i. 1. . U first military expedition to Cuba. The names of the boats are the Olivette and the Flordia, of the Plant line, now. in " the Gulf; the Southern Pacific Com pany's steamer Aranzas; the New York & Texas Company's vessels Comal, now at New York, and Alamo, now en route to the Gulf, and three fine ships of the Boston Merchants' & Mariners' line, in Baltimore, the Allegheny, Berkshire and the Decatur Miller. The price to $15,000 for the 80 days for whioh they are chartered. They will be taken charge of by the quartermaster depart ment at the earliest possible moment. V General Shafter, in command of the troops now concentrated at New Or- . leans, has. been in consultation with the officials today as to the execution of plans of campaign, but the orders given him cannot be made public ' The president and cabinet will con eider the large number of applications that have been made for the appoint ment to the rjosts of maior-creneral and brigadier-general, and mere is some ex pectation that he will be able to norm nate a few of these officers soon. (3nrmral. Tittfhnori arrived hara today, after a 10 days' visit, to Vir ginia. With him came Miss Cisneros, .. banas, who has been the guest of Miss Lee. The general shared the keen pub' Ho interest in the report of the shelling of Matanzas. He has visited that city frequently, and was familiar with the . lav of the land and defenses. He said the batteries were antiquated and were no longer able to offer any formidable. resistance. Every endeavor is being put forward by the war department to organize the volunteer army and increase the regu lar army to its full strength. Muster ing-rolls of the companies of the volun teer-army have been prepared in the war department and sent to the offl cers who have been detailed to form. ally induct the Btate troops Into the service of the government. With few modifications they are the same as those used in the late war. The question of arms and equip ments ior tne volunteer army is now receiving the attention of the ordnance department and the quatermastcr-gen- eral's department. As soon as infor mation is received bs to the exact num . ber qf arms needed for the volunteers, they will be shipped to their state rendezvous for distribution. The three independent regiments of cavalry authorized by the volunteer army act, and which are to bo com posed exclusively of. frontiersmen, are to be known as the First, Second and Third regiments of United States vol unteer cavalry. They are to be com posed of 12 troops eaoh. Off for the Front. '. Chickamauga National Park, Ga., April 80. The two companies of tha Ninth' (colored) cavalry, which 'arrived in Chattanooga late this afternoon, were stopped after having started to Chiokamauga, and switched into the .Western & Atlantic yards. Orders are said to have been received to have the troops proceed as rapidly as possible to Tampa, Fla., to which point the troops from Mobile have also been ordered, and they will leave before morning. It is currently reported that the com panies of the Ninth regiment now in camp here will be.shipped - at once to Tampa, as well as the Twenty-fourth infantry (colored). Offlaors of the Ninth have been making,' every prepar ation for departure. .. Another Letter Held Up. Washington, April 80. The post office department lias information of another letter being held up because it contained treasonable matter. The postmaster at Santa Cruz reported that a letter 4o Senor SagaBta, Spain, had been mailed there, and, under direc tion of Assistant PostmaBter-General Tynan its contents were examined.'. It was mailed by a woman who gave an address where an answer would reach her, and contains information in regard to the fortifications of San Francisco, where guns are located, etc The let-, ter will be referred to the war depart ment. -1 ..' . T J -r- A : 1 oa Ti'l it. Geat Northern mail train arrived this evening a stranger on the train was ar rested by an officer from Fort Mcintosh, and from what could be learned, he is thought to be a Spanish spy, who has been under surveilanoe all the way from New York.

Reported by Downing, Hopkins & Co.. Inc. Board of Trade Brokers, 711 to 714 Chamber of Commerce building, Portland, Oregon.) Great activity in wheat last week was caused by the remarkable advance in all foreign markets. If the Hispano Amerioan war continues, the price of wheat will go higher at Chioago, but now seems that peace means lower prioes, for the lollowing reasons: Eu rope has been advancing very largely fearing a blockade of our ports and famine at home unless their require. inents could be largely met by Amen can shipments, and large purchases have been made for foreign account at the advanced prioes on account of th fear of a war with Spain. The enor mous export demand has not advanced our home markets largely, but has com pelled every line of shorts to oover, leaving the market in just the shape for a serious break. The Minneapolis market Record says: "After a long spell of dullness in the flour market business picked up in very good shape the past week. Sales, with two excep tions, 'were larger than for any one week since the beginning of the crop year, one local company alone Belling nearly 200,000 barrels. The demand from abroad, for both - patents and clears, was in excess of production and nil was for quick shipment Indioa tions are that stocks on the other side of the Atlantic are pretty well cleaned up and buyers over there are, in conse quence, in a hurry to replenish them, Sales of patents for domestic account have been heavy to buyers east of Chi cago. Stocks are rather low all over the country." Not for years has the Northwest been as short of wheat as now.v Country stocks have reached very low point, there being probably less than 2,000,000 bushels held ai this time by country houses, only a very dmall portion of which is contract wheat, This explains why the Minneapolis wheat market has advanced over 20 .ents in one week. The wheat to fill contracts is not in sight. Out of the dniall country supply must go the wheat for oountry milling, with no new wheat to come for grinding until September. ' Portland market.

A bungling attempt to set fire to the shop or fright en the workmen on torpedo-boats 12 and 13 was made under the -wharf of the Wolff & Zwicker iron works about 11 o'clock last night. While nothing could be learned of the perpetrator, a Spaniard or a Mexi can who was seen hanging about the place all day and who had been several times ordered away is suspected by the police. The late workmen, who were just quitting the building, were startled, as the whistle blew, by a dull repoit ap parently just below the wharf on which the torpedo-boats are building, whioh shook the structure to its foundation The Madison street bridge night watch man also heard the detonation and saw a blinding flash directly under the tor pedo-boats. , - Three of the workmen seized lanterns and hurried beneath the wharf. Just as they reached the ground, a second report, like that of a shotgun or re volver, was heard, and they saw a light flash for an instant, but that was all. Groping about by the dim light of their lanterns, they were unable to find any- thing which could have made an ex plosion, and they finally decided "to abandon the quest till daybreak. ; The Spaniard whom the police sus pect of having set off the explosion, either with the deliberate purpose of blowing up the torpedo-boats or set ting fire to the building, or thinking to terrify the contractors, had been slink ing about the plaoe'all day. Whatever was the purpose of the man whd set off the explosion, he failed to do any more harm than to set the town agog, for the wharf and boats were unscathed. ALLEGED GERMAN NOTE. Rumor That She Will Not Permit the Bombardment of Manila. . Madrid, May 2. A great impression has been produced here by a rumor that the German government has is sued a note declaring that it will not oppose the landing of troops in the Philippines but will not permit a bom bardment, owing. to the important Ger man mercantile interests in all the towns of the island. Germany's omision to declare neutrality is -held to be the cause of the rumor. Japan has" requested permission for Japanese naval offioers to watch the operations m the Philippines from the Spanish headquarters. The United States fleet is not expect ed to reach Manila until Tuesday. The Spanish fleet has been divided in two. It will be reinforced by a large auxil iary cruiser. " i ' , According to dispatches from Ma nila, the Vos Espanola describes the port of Manila as .'impregnable. The paper also says that the forts of Male ton, Sud Malatea, Pastei, Mirallas and St. Lucia Pilar bristle with guns, chiefly Krnpps. j PORTUGAL'S NEUTRALITY. Officially Announced in a Proclamation in Lisbon, i . Lisbon, May 2. The official gazette today publishes the neutrality decree of Portugal in the war between Spain and the United States. It is similar to the decree Issued at the outbreak of the Franco-PrusBian war, and contains the following six ar ticles: First Forbidding the equipment of privateers in Portuguese waters. Second Forbidding the entry of privateers into Portuguese waters. Third Permitting belligerents to make a short stay in Portuguese ports. Fourth Defining legitimate trade as regards the belligerents and forbidding trading in goods considered contraband of war. - Fifth Warning Portuguese and for eigners in Portugal against actions contrary to the security of the state. Sixth Refusing protection to any infringers of the decree. COST OF THE WAR. Bum Needed for Additional Army Expenses. Washington, May 2. The secretary of the treasury today received from the secretary of war estimates of defi ciencies in appropriations-for the ex penses of the war for the remaining two quarters of the present fiscal year, aggregating $34,019,987. '- In his let ter, Secretary Alger says that the acts of congress approved April 22 and 26, 1898, authorizing the enrollment of a volunteer army and plaoing the regular army on a war footing, will necessitate this inorease for the organization, sup port and maintenance of the new forces. :. This estimate, which will be trans mitted to congress, is entirely inde pendent of the allotments made by tha president to the war department out of the $50,000,000. This will indioate that up to July 1 next (two months) the increased expenditures on account of the war will be approximately $90, 000,000. The Spanish government officials are bewildered at the attitude of Great Britain. They believe the government and people of Great Britain hold divergent opinions, and that the official acts of Great Britain are due to a secret compact with the United States. Washington, May 2. Secretary Al ger this morning issued a most sweep ing order directed to all bureau chiefs of the war department and all officers on special duty, frora highest to low est, instructing them, under no cir cumstances, to give information to the press on any subjeot connected with the war. A similar order already ex ists in the navy department. Manila, May 2. The government has forbidden the use of cipher dis patches. TRUMPET CALLS. Ram's Horn Sounds a Warning Note to the Unredeemed.

Cement Admixtures. lor the past three years the cement trade section of the British board of t':ide has been making investigations into the question of cement admixtures, and the result is that the board an nounces that "Portland cement be de- fined as a mixture of two or more suit able materials intimately and artifically mixed in the requisite proportions, and afterward properly treated,, to whioh nothing has been added during or after calcination except that an addition not exceeding 2 per cent of gypsum is'per- missable."
