Washington, May 10—It Is hard to tell whether the naval officials were relieved or disappointed by the news late this afternoon to both the Navy and State Depart ments to the effect]that the Spanish flying squadron had arrived at Cadiz Spain. The safety of the Oregon from attack is now completely as sured and the way is clear for military operations in Cuba withovt running the risk of having - the occupying army's line of communication cut off On the other hand, it is believed that no enduring peace can be secured until the Spanish navy has been de stroyed, and It now appears that to do this our sailors mu9t make up their minds togo after the Spaniards, a task much more difficult than that of meeting them near our own shores. Madrid, May 9.—Noon—The dis order in the Spanish provinces is in creasing. Riots have broken»out at Linares, Cadiz and Alicante, and the troubles are expected to spread to parts of the country which have hitherto been quiet. Martial law has been proclaimed in the provinces of Albaeete and Jaen. Hillßgrove.

Hull where the band played "Rally round the flag" after which V. Hull was introduced. Mr. Hull's address was short but his words were well chosen and the re peated applause of from the enthusi. astie crowd proved not only the effect of his words but the high esteem in which Mr. Hull is held by the citi zens. After the speech several vol leys were tired and the march was resumed to the band hall where the entire company joined in singing "My Country 'Tis of Thee." A num ber of young men then entertained the people with patriotic songs and during the march we heart! many expressions such as, no due on Dewey, stand by McKinley, remember the Maine, and many others which the Spain—American war will make historic.
