islands.
Spain by her actions has.for the last
fifty years been inviting the thrash

OF the nation. aud the punishment
administered should be so severe that
she will not forget 1t ln a thousand
years. For this country 10 be satisfied
with the mere possession of Porto
Rico Island as an indemnity for the
cost Of blood and treasure lost In this
war, think It ridiculous. We haye
taken possession Of that island by
force OF arms, and IL should not be
considered 10 the settlement OF any
indemnity. We merely say to Spain
"Those islands belong to us, when you
want them come and take them"

THE SECOND CALL FOB TROOPS.

Adiutant General Corbin announced last
night that he would not make public the ap-
portionment of the volunteer troops among
the States under the second call of the Presi-
dent. The enlistment of the 5000 men
called for will proceed as heretofore announc-
ed. precisely as enlistments are made for the
regular army. The governors of States are
notified by the department how many men
are to DO enlisted in theic States under the
second call and how the enlistments will be
made, but this information will not be given
to the public by tie War Department.
1t is expected that the enlistment of the
troops will proceed moro smoothly than it
would if the quota Of each State was made
public at this time. A majority OF the men
enlisted will be sent at once to the permanent
camp to fill regiments that are incomplete, the
men being assigned, of course 10 regiments
which will belong in the localities from which
the recruits come.
Under tho second call zach State ia called
upon to furnish specified number of men
rot specified number Of company, battalion
or regimental organizations. After State
has filed its quota, the men unassigned to
regiments already in service will be organized
into new regiments, the governors commis-
sioning the officers who are to command
them.

WAR NOTES.

Dispatches from Manila state that
Aquinaldo, the insurgent leader, has
been pursuing campaign CT success.
The latest developments there ale that
he has captured Jmus, the principal in
terror town of Cavite province, which
is particularly important because it
will form a.highly advantageous base
of supplies for the rebels. There has
been hot fighting, in which the insur-
gents have shown great bravery. Since
he landed at Cavita, about two
weeks ago, Aquiualdo has captured
l 900 Spanish prisoners and has subju-
gated the entire province Of Cavite.
His men are now we'll armed. Aquln-
aldo has Issued proclamation stating
that he has returned to the Philippine
Islands as dictator because the Span
ards have not carried out promised re-
forms in the government.
American naval men returning from
Manila say that Admiral Dewey has
that city under complete control and
can lay it in ruins at any time. Subju-
CATION of the Spanish forces in the
Philippines, they say, will be easy.
Admiral Sampson sent dispatch to
the Navy Department in Washington
last night, stating that he had bonn.
barded the Notifications at Santiago de
Cuba Monday morning and entirely
silenced them"
The first general military expedition
hot 20
to begin from Tampa to-day. 1t will
consist of about $4,000 men. 1t is un-
derstood that besids regulars, some Of
the bsst. drilled volunteers, like the
Fifth Maryland and the District OF
Columbia troops, will likely be embark
ed in the expedition. There are now
about 10000 troops at Tampa. o
these. there are of regulars nineteen
regiments of infantry and seven regi-
ments OF cavalry. IL ia not likely that
much cavalry will be taken, by reason
of the comparative impassability of the
Cuban country at present, but the nine
cen regiments of infantry will certain
" be taken. The larger part Of the re-
mainder of the expedition will be made
up of volunteers.
Information received at Washington
Yesterday indicated that the French
cable between Santiago de Cuba and
Havti had not been working since mid.
night of Monday night. If such is the
case. General Blanco is cut off from
from his home govern
ment by that source. At the same time
il is understood that one of the cables
running south from Cuba to Jamaica is
still in operation, although the officials
find considerable difficulty in obtaining
Information regarding the working OF
the cables.
