| Washington, May 30—It wai »tat
the war department today that
| the re gular» stationed at Tampa would
l»av« immediately for the invasion of
Spanish territory.
I | /No intimation waa given as to their
Ktestioation and it is not known wheth-

I T&« department came to thisJecis-
II ion afuktbe secretary of the navy
Rte received a\mesßage from Commodore
I SeHey stating that he bad the Spanish
Jfset bottled up in the harbor of San
| dago de Cnba. • The text of his mea>
■age has not been made public, but it
| is said the commodore saw tbe Cristo-.
I balColan, the Maria Teresa and two
torpedo boats, and be is sure Admiral
(Jervera and his entire fleet is in the
harbor •
I There appears now to be no reason
why the military invasion of Cuba
| should not begin as soon as tbe rsqui
* site number of troops are equipped for
tbe campaign. . • ,4
It is believed that Sampson, con-,
fident of Schley’s ability to take care
of tbe Spaniards at Santiago, io now
rapidly preparing to convoy the mili
tary expeditions. Sampson has rein
forced Schley’s fleet with some of tbe
best ironclads, the lowa lor instance,
so there is no question of bio over
matching the Spaniards io point of
force.
The members of tbe administration
jvho will talk at all say that it is their
opinion that the war is coming to a
close more rapidly than peopleeuppose,
ibut that tbe end will not come until
Abe army sent to Dewey’s aid occuphs
, the Philippines and the American flag
B fiesta over Porto Rico. The depart-
F moot is now more determined than
| ever to cut off Porto Rico as a future
base of supplies to Spain.
GeneraHliles io prepared for instant
departure for tbe south. A special
car, prepared for the commanding
general and bis staff, lies on a siding
at the Pennsylvania station here ready
to start whenever needed. Tbe gen
eral himself refuses to tell when bo
K. will move, but there were signs at the
army beadquarters that indicated an
early departure, possibly tonight.
Tbe navy department will call at
once upon shipbuilders to prepare to
build tbo three battleships authorised
by tbe present session of congress,with
a limit of cost, excluding armor and
armament, of $3,000,000 each.
Tbe board of construction has de
cided that tbo three new ships shall be
almost identical with the Illinois, the
Wisconsin and Alabama, now build
ing Newport News, San Fran
cisco and. Philadelphia respictively,
and in all probability the new vessels
will be built at those places, the
Cramps, tbo Scotts and the Newport
companies possessing tbo patterns
which will enable them to do the-work
more oxpediously and at less < xpense
than other establishments.
The state'depanment has mailed to
General Merritt his exhaustive instruc
tions for the government of the Phil
ippines. These embody not only full
details for the control of the military
and naval forces in establishing United
States sovereignty over tbe Philippine
group, which were prepared by the
War and navy departments for incor
poration in tbo instructions, but are
understood to invest the commanding
general with greater discretionary
powers than has ever up to this time
been granted to an agent of this gov
ernmeut.
Except in his relations with foreign
Powers growing pet of poesible compli
cations in the east, which are to be
referred to Washington for negotia
tion, General Merritt’s control of af
fairs will be practically supreme. Tbe
instructions throughout bear every ev
idence that the United States intends
to preserve permanent control of the
'•lands.
In this connection it is understood
today that arrangements are already
to lay a cable from San
Francisco byway -of Hawaii directly to
Manila and the work will be under
taken as military necessity tbo mo
ment authority for tbo expenditure
be secured from congress.
NOW NEGOTIATING ALLIANCE-
Washington Correspondent of London
Telegraph Bends the Story.
Washington, May 30— Tbo Wash
ington correspondent of the London
Daily Telegraph, telegraphing Sun
day, says:
“I have just learned from a high
authority in tbe state department that
important preliminary steps toward an
Anglo American alliance have already
been taken. How far these negotia
tions, if they can yet be called that,
have proceeded, it is not easy (0 ascer
tain, for naturally strict secrecy is
maintained, but my information is
that the preWmicary suggestions have
been made and that tbe subject of such
an alliance is practically before tbe two
governments in some shape. ■
. "Tbe recent visits paid by Sir Julian
Pauncefoie to the state department
have not, it seems, bad reference to
the Canadian negotiations. Accord
ing to my authority tbo features of tbe
proposed alliance now being consider
ed are these:
“‘Great Britain.is to recognize tbe
Monroe doctrine, to attempt no ins
crease of her territorial possessions in
tbe western bemisphere.and to indorse
tbe American construction of tb|t
doctrine.
“ ‘The United States io to build tbo
Nicaraguan canal and Great Britain io
to have use of it in time of war.
“ ‘The United States is to have all
the territory taken from Spain in tbo
present war, and Great Britain is to
protect the United StJtes for the pos
sessions, if this should be threatened.
" ‘The United States is to stand by
Great Britain in hwr policv in China
and tbe east and all the British ports
in the eastern to be opened to the
United States under the moot favored
nation clause.
“ ‘The main features of an arbitra
tion treaty are to be incorporated. It
baa been prodded that all matters in
dispute, not involving the Monroe
doctrine or tbe Nicaragua canal, are
to be submitted to a non partisan com
mission. Tbe existing understanding
bearing on tbo relations between the
two governments on tbe groat lakes is
to be abrogated and the-United States
are to be given tbe use of tbe canal in
case of war.’
"Tbe alliance is to bo offensive and
defensive. It proceedrbn lines sdeh
as the foregoing. As a matter of
course, all that baa been done so far is
purely tentative, but my informant
gives tbo above as the general outline
suggested.”
When Nature
Needs assistance it may be best to render
in promptly, but one should remember to
use even the most perfect remedies only
when needed. The beet and most simple
and gentle remedy is the Syrup of Figs,
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Company.
Fire Last Night-
About 9:30 o’clock last night tbe
alarm of fire was sounded throughout
tbe city. It was with much regret
when it was learned that Harry Jobn
aon’a new two story home northeast of
the city was the burning dwelling.
Tbe occupants were all asledp when
the fire was discovered and it was so
far advanced nothing could be saved
but a few articles of clothing.
Mr. Coran who was living in the
home with Mr. and Mrs. Johnson lost
everything. Mrs. Coran was sick and
her husband and son got her safely
out of the burning structure and re
turned to save their clothing but was
unable to do so by tbe flames which
bad enveloped tbe room.
An insurance of SBOO on tbe house
and furniture leaves a loss of about
SI,OOO on Mr. Johnson and Mr. Coran.
Tbe Call will join with tbe citizens
in their sympathy to the losing parties

News Throughout Camps-
A Lan early hour yesterday morning
the First regiment at Camp Nortben
were called to order to take a second
ma&h. This time the men were
drilled out beyond the poor farm and
back—a trip of about seven miles.
It was however, ocoompliebed with
no difficulty and the men evidently
enjoyed tbe trip as all were in the
best of humor. One short halt was
made for rest.
Early in the army sur*
geon reported to Col. Lawton tbe na»
ture of tbe water being used by the
camps and condemned it as unhealthy.
Col. Lawton immediately issued an
order requiring all water used for
drinking purposes to bo boiled before
used.
For the first time the three battalv
ions were on tbe parade grounds yw
terdsy and with one exception were
commanded by their respective majors.
Owing to tbe illness of Lieut. Col. J.
T. Brooks, Col. Lawton' commanded
the first battalion.
Tbe band is doing pice and is now
playing for retreat in the afternoon
and will this morning play at guard
mount.
Company detail for guard duty
went into effect yesterday morning.
Co. A, served yesterday, and Co. B, is
to do its duty today.
There is some delay io transporta*
tion and tbe uniforms have not yet
arrived. They are expected on every
freight and will be issued ont as coon
as possible.
Tbe men seem to become more re
conciled to camp life every day. Few
complaints are beard from any source
now and tbe fellow who cannot take a
joke is snubbed by bis comrades. - -
About twenty of tbe Metron ' Lodge
of Elko came op Sunday and spent
the day with tbo soldier members of
the order at Camp Nortben. Io the
morning a social session was bold in
one of the meso balls and each Elk io
camp was given a traveling card and
a box containing medicines and other
necessaries for a campaign. Capt.
Sam Hooter, of tbe Macon Volunteers,
who is himself bn Elk, was the officer
of the day and extended every courte
sy to the visiting Elks.

Information of Philippines.
The Commerce of tbe countries ad
jacent to the Philippine islands is the
subject dl a aeries of tables which will
appear in tbe oexC monthly publica
tion oi the bureau' of statistics, at
Washington.
Tbe statement consists of. tables
showing tbe population and commerce
of the countiies adjacent to the Phil
ippines and tbe share that tbe United
States and other nations have had in
that commerce for a series of yeais,
and is accompanied by a map showing
the steamship routes and distanees
from our various ports to tbe Philip*
pines, and the distances from that
point to tbe ports oljhe adjacent coun
tries.
The fact that tbe countries now in
easy reach of tbe Philippines contain
a population of 850,000,000; that their
purchases from other parts of tbe world
amount to over a billion dollars every
year and their exports to a like sum,
and that tbe large portion of these
purchases comprise the classes of goods
produced in tbe United States, add
greatly to the interest in this subject.
The tables will show the population
and area of those countries, their trade
with each of the leading nations of tbe
world and the percentage which each
nation obtains of their imports and
expor/e, the articles which have' been
exported to each by the United States
during the past five years and the to
tal commerce of tbe United States
with each of the principal coun
tries of that section by yean since 1820*
THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it*is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California. Fig Stbup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding tbe worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acta on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
tbe Company—
