TampaT-Fla., May 25. Major General Fitzhugh Lee, accompanied by Colonel Curtis GiiHd and hh? staff, arrived in Tampa tonight and established tempo rorary headquarters at i the Tampa Bay hotel. General Lee had nothing to say on 1 the ; general situation. "The fact is," said he, "I have not seen a paper fdr two days, and don't know what has happened. All I know is that I was sent here from Washington to take command of the Seventh army corps." . ' , General Lee and General Shatter had 'quite an extended conference during the evening, in which the situ ation here was fully explained to Gen eral Lee. Tomorrow .will be spent by . .the latter in inspecting the different carops of the volunteer troops in and around Tampa, "all of-; which regiments Will be embraced in the Seventh army .-, corps. General Lee was given an en-,; thusiastic reception when he appeared in the general reception room of the Tampa Bay hotel. He was instantly surrounded by a crowd of armyioffl f cers and friends, but he smilingly T- turned first to the pretty Cuban wo men, the wives and daughters of . ' prominent refugees who were anxious to greet him. , . CERVERA HEMMED IN. London, May 26. The Madrid corre- spondent of The Daily Mail says: Of . ficial telegrams from Cuba confirm the report, that Rear Admiral Sampson and Commodore Schley, with their combined squadrons are now in front , of Santiago de Cuba, blockading Ad miral Cervera. Ministers consider that Santiago' de Cuba possesses suf ficient defences to render null and void any aggressive action the enemy may ; .take. i The position of the American squad 7 rons will cause the government to take immediate action, though it is ' un ! known as yet what form this action t will assume. . .. Rumors that a battle has already oc curred are officially denied. A special dispatch from Madrid says: There has been an active exchange of dispatches between the government and the authorities at Havana and San Juan de Porto Rico on the subject of sending coal and provisions . to Santiago de Cuba. It is alleged that Admiral Cervera has7 wired, confirming the report that Santiago de Cuba is cut off from communication with the interior by strong bahds of insurgents and that in consequence coal and provisions are getting scarce and dear.

May 25, 6:15 p. m.r-At daybreak on Monady morning the entire - squadron uhder Rear Admiral Sampson was lying di rectly opposite the entrance to Ha vana harbor, about ten miles off shore, a formidable mouse-colored flotilla of battleships, monitors, cruisers, yachts, lighthouse tenders and torpedo boats. The peaceful activity noticed the day before on board the vessels of the fleet had given way to great scenes oi iue and bustle. Around the flagship, from whose mainmast fluttered the crimson pennant of precedence, rocked on the choppy waves, a score of launches and gigs fro n surrounding warships, each manned by sailors in spotless white. They had brought aboard the flagship the commanding officers of their re spective vessels, where they had ap parently been summoned for orders. A half hour later, the gigs and laun ches left i the flagship and returned with their officers aboard their own vessels, almost immediately thick columns- of black smoke began to pour from the smokestacks of the assembled fleet, and slowly, almost imperceptibly the flagship began to move to the east ward. ; A number of .vessels were left behind on blockading duty, the acting flagship flying a blue pe nant. About two hours later a large double masted and double funnelled cruisercame steaming under full headway from the IMPORTANT. (Did you evef iZW um" we eat and drink coio .the length of our lives?

Whpn within hailine dis her the tance and without slackening speed she exchanged signals with acting- flagship off Havana. A string of colored bunting was hoisted aloft on the flagship's' halliards and the cruis- er pushed on to the east at full speed. Afterward the squadron was in the Nicholas channel, off Cardenas, head ing for" the old Bahama channel. The squadron was proceeding with care, for Admiral Cervera had not actually been bottled up and care must be taken lest , the fox turn and dash out of Santiago around the east end of Cuba, up through the Windward pass age and north to attack the cities of theAtlantic Coast of the United States In all llklihood Commodore Schley will be able to spring the trap and then Rear Admiral Sampson may hasten tq Santiago. A great game is being play ed and the situation is one of extreme suspense. After Admiral Qervera I is sealed up in Santiago harbor the prob lem will be as in the case of a "var met" caught, in a trap, whether, to shoot to starve him. In every event. Admiral Cervera cannot -reach Ha vana. Two powerful fleets,-each hav fast vessels, as well as heavy guns and each . : able to destroy ' him, are closing in upon him.

Raleigh, N. C, May 25. It was in teresting to talk with the delegates to the democratic Estate convention,' who fairly swarmed late this afternoon and this evening. They are certainly a fine looking lot of men. A big and rep resentative convention is assured. Julian S.

Directly after this letter was hand ed to him: Chairman Manly called In twelve of fifteen democrats for con ference as ' to the disposition to be made of the proposition. It was final ly decided to refer it to the conven tion. It is freely characterized as odious a nronosltion as could be maae ana win be promptly rejected as soon as the convention gets a whack at it.

Additional Troops. NO FOREIGN COMPLICATIONS. Caused this Call as Was at First 8upposed To be used as a Si;6nd Re serve The Details of the Call not to be Made out for Several ! ' Days YetEnlistments Not to be Restricted to National ( . Guard Organizations North Carolina's QuotaGos sip About the Fleets Why the Delay in : Invasion of Cuba. Y Washington, May 25. The event of the day in the ' war situation was the issuance of a proclamation by the president calling for 75.000 more volun teers. It added a new and!' stirring phase to the lethargic conditions which have prevailed of late and came with almost startling unexpectedness even to many of the highest officials in the army. The proclamation means', not only the assembling of a large 'force J or troops, hut also the appointment of a number of major; generals, .brigadier generals, colonels; majors,; staff and field officers for (the organization' of this additional force of 75,000 into ar my corps, divisions, brigades and regi ments, ' . The reasons' leading up to the call naturally were sources of much con jecture, as it was at-first felt that the possibility of foreign complications fV.as a factor in rineine about thl new move. It speedily developed, how ever, that the call was not due to any late or serious emergency, but was rather in the line of getting together a large body of men, to be drilled and seasoned, and to constitute a sort of second reserve to be drawn upon'la tef when the campaigns were fully un derway. Secretary i Alger stated that the determination to issue the call had not been reached until late yesterday. The merits, of it have been canvassed morei or less for some .weeks, butMt was not until a few hours before the call itself appeared that the movement was finally decided upon. - The ploclamation is as. follows: ' By the President of the United States A Proclamation: Whereas, An act of congress was approved on the 25th day of April, 1898, entitled "An Act Declaring that War Exists Between the United States of America and the Kingdom of Spain" and, - ' .. Whereas, By an .act of congress en titled "An Act to Provide for Tem porarily Increasing the Military Es tablishment of. the United States in Time of War, and for Other Purposes," approved April 22, 1898, . The president is authorized, in or der to raise a, volunteer army, to issue his proclamation calling for volunteers to serve in the army of the United States. " Now, therefore, I, William M'Kin ley, presedent of the United States, by virtue of the power vested in me by the legislature, and the laws, and deeming sufficient occasion to exist, have though tfit to call forth and here by do call forth volunteers to ithe ag gregate of 75,000 In addition to the vol unteers called forth by my proclama tion of the 23rd day of April In the present year, the same to be appor tioned as far as practicable among the several -states and territories ahd the Dlstcrlct of Columbia, according to population,-and.to serve for two years, unless sooner discharged. The pro portion of each arm and the. details of enlistment and organization will be made known through the war depart ment, . , if i . In witness whereof, I have hereto set my hand and caused the j seal of the United States to be affixed. Done, at the city of Washington, this twenty-fifth day of May, in the year of our Lord, one thousand, 'eight hundred and ninety-eight, and of the independ ence of the United States one hundred and twenty-second. I ." WILLIAM M'KINLEY. By the President. ' j ,; WILLIAM R. DAT, I" . Secretary of State. Coming thus unexpectedly the war department had made no preparations for the. call and it will be some days before the details are worked out as to the quotas from each state, the calls to the respective governors of the states, the mustering . f points and ; the 'general points of concentration. ; All that is settled thus far is that the enlistments are to be thrown open, much as they were at the outbreak of the civil war, and are not to be re stricted to the militia and national or ganizations of the several states. It will be an encouragement to the or ganization of independent volunteer companies and regiments. These will retain their ' identity to a certain extent as sltate troops, as the govern-, ors will have the appointment of all company an'd regimental officers while only the brigade, division, corps and staff officers wlll. be appointed bythe president. .( 1 ; While the adjutant general has not yet made up the quota of the several states, the following is an approxi mate estimate of the quotas of the following-states: Alabama 1,500, Florida 450, Georgia 1,950, Louisiana 1,164, Mis sissippi 1,115, North Carolina l,545r South Carolina 448, Virginia 1,675. 1 (-.ntW -v? -tilts Lxtensive force is l yet to be arranged W the adjutant general's office. - Gen erally speaking, nowever, tne men will suffice for formation "of seven- tv-five regiments.? With three regi ments to a brigade, which is the pres ent basis of organization, this makes twenty-five brigades. In turn, eight divisions of three brigades each will be formed, and out of these divisions the entire force will be divided . - into three army corps. . This general divis ion I is: of course, tentative, but it shows the general - formation of this body of troops. The new force, will require, either by appointment or by officers already appointed, three ma nor generals ' and about twenty-four brigadier generals.! The law vautho- rip the president to appoint one ma Jor general for each army corps ahd one brigadier general for each brigade. It was stated at the war department that the details for the work of organ izing this new force would not beac tlveiy taken up for the present. Just now the 'adjutant general's office is en gaged In completing the enliatmentjl the 125,000 volunteers under' tne. nrsi call. - It will' take some .n olete his work and not until J then win ...i ,nrv f organizing ine voiuu-- ! teer under the second begin. jT rtoors OP EARLY INVASION jT I r-TTRA. I CUBA. Reports were current today that an amy of invasion was about to start for Cuba and Porto Rico. It was based on the conjecture which has been cur rent of late, but officials In authority, gave it no endorsement,- as. it - was manifestly contrary to public poUcy to give any advance information of such a movement, even If it were con templated. The report that General Miles and his . staff would - leave , to night was specifically denied, although it Is probable the commanding general will leave Tpr the south at an early day.. . GOSSIP AS TO THE FLEETS. At the close of the day at the navy VOLUNTEERS. department the situation as to the fleets, both American and Spanish was precisely as if was this morning, so far as the officials know the only -notable difference being an apparent strengthening of the confidence of the officials in their .belief that Cervera's ' tdV?1 in tlleStfltJa?0 ha" ficials found great comfort, knowing tne anilities of the American naval ' commanders in Cuban waters -to keep the Spanish admiral bottled up in his narrow-necked harbor until they shall surrenderor be starved out If Cer vera Is actually at bay. the officials feel not the slightest apprehension of 'any relief coming to him from the outside in the shape of another Spanish squad ron from Cadiz. The reason for this belief in their unquestioned ability to hold Cervera in check with only a few -vessels perhaps a couple of monitors and torpedo boats, thus leaving the re mainder of the big armored fleet " to take care of any reinforcements . that might attempt to come from Spain, to -Cervera's aid. The force that could be spared for this service,7 without en dangering the integrity of the block ade at' Havana or permitting the es cape of Cervera, would be much larger . than the entire Spanish naval force now in Spanish waters .capable of crossing the Atlantic. WHY THE DELAY OF INVASION. Within the past few ..weeks, in fact .ever sihee .the determination was pos itively reacnea to, invade Cuba before -the dry season next all, there have been published intimations that th delay or what appeared to be the delay in beginning the invasion . was at tributable to the navy. It can be stated on the highest . authority hat -the impression thus created is wholly unjust to pie navy and without war rant in fact. The naval officers, one and air, take special pride fh the.de- v gree of readiness in which -the navy was found at the outbreak of hostili were at Porto Rico, when the navy ties and there never., has been, a mo ment, even when Sainpson's forces was not prepared on instant orders to aid the army. Neither has the army been; at fault in this matter It was at first proposed o throw amall force of men, about 10,000 into Cuba j im mediately and allow the remainder of the army of occupation .to wait until . next fall' before going over. There were various reasons for abandoning! this plan, such as the discovery of th !n- sufficient support that could .be 1 (ren dered the American force by thej in- -surgents. The fact, was brought out with1 appalling force that to delay f the campaign meant the absolute exter mination of the starving reconcentra doai, and there were beside other sea-. -sons for . making haste. These con siderations caused a complete change In the army plans and that Involved! delay, i -. , - To, equip an army . of '10,000 men in thirty ? days and put them in a condl-. tion to fight trained veteran soldiers on their own soil was no' .small under taking, so that in the opinion of some of thej highest officers of the adminis tration there is no reasonable grounds for pressing the criticism that there is or has been undue delay in beginning . -the military campaign, either on the part of the army or navy. Recommendation has-been, made that contracts be awarded for 'supply- . tng armor for the three battleships un der construction as follows: To the Carnegie Company 1,153 tons for the Illinois and 2,558.76 -tons .for the Wis- , eonsiii.: To the Bethlehem Company 1,405 tons for the Illinois and 2,558 tons for the Alabama, all at $400 per ton. r Why allow yourseir to "be islowly tor tured at the stake of disease?
