Washington, May 19. General MileB
said emphatically tonight that the begin
ning of the invasion of Cuba by the
army of the United States is not yet be
gun.
Three days notice at least will be
hgiven," he said, "before the movement
ns. When I leave Washington for
the South it can' be accepted that (he
army is at once to move."
It is understood that President Mc-
Kiuley will gie orders that the actual
warfare in Cuba begin as soon as possl
ble and that unless some unforscen
movement of the Spanish tleet occur;
the invasion of Cuba by the United
Slates Army will begin the latter part os
next week.
Hlaueo C! off,
According to the determination to
prevent the further communication be
tween Blanco and Madrid, Santiago de
Cuba was bombarded by American ves
sels and all the cables were cut.
Havana's communication with the out
side world was carried on by means of
five cable lines. Two of them run to the
United States, and, of course, are closed
against General Blanco. The remaining
cable exits from Havana are by way of
Santiago, on the south coast of Cuba,
two of the lines running thence to
Jamaica and one to llayti.
The government was satisfied that if
this was cut the entire system of com
munication between Cuba and the out
side world will be at an end.
The right to cot these cables is not
doubted by thelauthorities hire, although
most of thim are British cables.

through the Windward passage
around the west end of Cuba the squad-
rous will be located so that be can be

William Ewarl Gladstone has stood for
more than half a century a the great
representative of reform in the British
government. He has been the leader of
the Liberals in parliament, and four
times head of the government.
He was 0110 of, xhe most, admired men
in tho world. His wisdom, his honor,
his vast learning and critical power, his
itrength and his fine personality all com
bines with the memory of the great ac-
lomplishmeuts of his life to place him
supreme among his fellows and make
hlin in truth "the grand old man" of a
great nation.
He has been the greatest friend of the
Irish-' To him was due the extension of
suffrage in England, the disestablish
ment of the church in Ireland, and the
movement for home rule has always
counted on him as its tower of strength
He was born in Liverpool on Decern
ber29, 1809. His father was Sir John
Gladstone, a Liverpool merchant, who
had grown 'very rich in the East India
trade, and who had been created a baro
net in 1840. William Ewart Gladstone
was graduated at Oxford with dlstin-
guished honors in 1831. '
He entered parliament in 18:12 as a
member from Newark. Mr. Gladstone
was at that time a strong Tory. For
twenty years he was a leader in the Con
serrative party. He gradually drifted
into Liberalism, and became a member
of Lord Palmerton's cabinet In 1859.
When Palmirton's death occurred
Gladstone succeeded him as leader of the
Liberals In the house of commons. When
the Liberals attained power in 1868, after
Disraeli's first government, Gladstone
became premier. He held the position
for six years.and again from, 1880 to 1883,
when he declared for Irish home rule,
A large body of bis supporters deserted
him, and he was defeated In 1980. He
was again prime minister in 1893.
Mr. Gladstone was married in 1838
to
Miss Margaret Giynue, an heliess, who
was then 23 years old. She aided her
husband In every way passible. The
latter years of Mr. Gladstone's Ufa hav
been spent at Uawarden castle, the
property of his wife, which is at the
Gateway to Wales. Mr. and Mrs. Glad
stone have seven children, four sons and
three daughters.
Mr. Gladstono began publlo lifo ai
Conservative. He was the eon of a mer
chant. He Inherited that commercial
spirit which regards business aa the first
concern of human life.
"it ts doubtrui whether he ever con
sldered any great question without first

Col. Armtleld of the jjlst Regiment of
volunteers received orders last night to
leave for Tampa today. Early this saorn-
he broke camp for that purpose.!
The Regiment is divided, part going via!
the Seaboard Air-Line and part by the I
Southern. I
The equipments for the Ut Regiment
have not been sent here, hut they are
told that uniforms etc., await them ut
Tampa. Many of them here have not hail
change of clothing, and the people of
Raleigh have been petitioned to donate
underwear for hundreds of the men.
With all the other calls on the people
here it conies rather hard to have to help
clothe soldiers who are sworn into the
service of the United States.
The Second Regiment will be moved
soon it is stated.
DrcsB parade has been quite a feature
with the city people ever since the camp
has been established here, and now it
will be greatly missed.
The fund for the Worth Bagley monu
ment has now reached 1627.45.
The L. O'B. Branch camp Confederate
veterans left today far Charlotte to at
tend the celebration on the 30th of the
Mecklenburg Declaration.
Senator Butler's victory in the Popu
list convention was somewhat of a sur
prise. It had been so often said that
Butler had lost his hold in the Populist
party that many expected to see him
defeated in his plans and propositions,
but Instead they witnessed the utter de
struction politically of Congressman Skin
ner and Otho Wilson.
Tho Masons selected Asheville as their
next place of meeting, The following
