MAY HAVE NO MEETINGS.
Senatorial Candidates Seem to Have
Abandoned the Idea.
II now looks very much like neither
.0' the senatorial candidates will have
a public meeting and the voters will
not have the pleasure of bearing some
good oratory. A prominent supporter
. f Judge Grovatt told a News reporter
yeter.lay that there would probably lie
uo rally. The gentleman seemed to he
of the opinion that a meeting would
be of no benefit lo either candi.laie.
A strong advocate of the candidacy
if Captain Symons talked about toe
same fashion and it seems to have
been decided by both crowds that
meetings would lie ol no honofif.
IHI QUEEN BEGI N I
SIGNS LAS I 1)1 (Rib
THE SCENE WAS A STRIKINGLY
PATHETIC ONE—ALFONSO VIR
TUALLY KING NOW.
Madrid, May 13. The brilliant 1
weather today encouraged the crowds
to pour out into tne streets of Idle city
and every tholroughS'are was lilh l
with merry makers.
The appearance of the streets was in
strong contrast to the scenes which
al tlie same time was being enacted
within tne palace. Hero the festivity
gave place to a drama. Premier Sar
gasta and his colleagues proceeded to
the palace for a. formal leave-taking
of the queen regent and to present for
her majesty's signature the last. d<c
Pis to which her hand and sea) will
ever be affixed as regent oi Spain.
When the queen regent, withdrew
her pen from the parchment confer
ring the order of the Golden Fleece
upon tdi.< d,uke ol Cumberland her
eyes were moist. Her regency really
terminatd at this time, although until
king takes the oath in the presence of
the queen, May 17. his mother remains
officially the queen regent.
It was a pathetic scene when the
ministers were ushered into the queen
regent’s cabinet. She received them
with the young king at her side. Pre
mier Sagasla delivered an eloquent
address of leave-taking, to which the
queen responded with much ernoton.
Married at Tallahassee.

annah News of yesterday published
tne following: “Last, Friday Miss
.Mildred j\. Mitchell of Kentucky and

appropriating $300,000 for the Mar
tinique suffereres, President Roosevelt
today issued a general appeal to the
country at large, asking for aid for the
panic stricken, flame scourged people
of the French West Indies.
The appeal is an eloquent one, and
will be published broad cast by the
metropolitan press today and tomorrow.
The war and navy departments are
doing everything possible to expedite
matters:
The United States steamer Buffalo, a
converted merchant freighter, will he
used as a relief ship if the Dixie does not
suffice. Official orders were drafted for
the guidance of the three supply depart
ments of the army giving the scheme
of distribution as follows:
Three medical officers with $30,000
worth of medical stores: one subsistence
officer with $30,C00 in stores, consisting ■
of rice, dried fish, sugar, coffee, tea,
canned soups, condensed cream, salt,
pepper and vinegar; one officer of (lie
quatermaster’s department with $30,000
worth of clothing supplies for men,
women and children.
Captain Gallagher, one of General
Weston,s most valued assistants, was
selected to go to New York and proceed
on the Dixie to Martinique. He will he
in complete charge of the distribution of
the stores and a fund of $5,000 was al
lotted to him for emergency expenses
Admiral Bradford, chief of the bureau
of equipment, suggested the sending of
the water barges at Norfolk and Key
West to supply good water to the refu
gees, a suggestion which was taken
under advisement.

aster, is to the effect tiiat the situation
is appalling and people are really dying
