Over hundred clerks from the Treasury

scriptions to the war loan bonds and prop

There will be constant additions as the
work increases, and it is expected that 400
clerks will be engaged upon it before Sat

flying fact that the great common people
are eager to subscribe to the loan, the
number of small subscriptions exceeding
even the first estimates.
Although the amount of the subscriptions
to the new per cent loan is not made pub
lic it is officially stated that it exceeds all
expectations. This is particularly true of
the larger amounts. The number of sub
ScriptionS received for sums of $500 and
less is large, but the department wishes 1t
thoroughly understood by the public that
even should the whole loan be subscribed
for several times over in large amounts,
every subscription for $500 or less will be
accepted at once, as all small amounts will
take precedence in the aliotments over
large ones. \ subscription for twenty mil

AT THE WHITE HOUS E
The President Surprised and Panied at
spain's Decision.

The President had many visitors today,
but there was nothing new in their talk
with him.
Up to noon the President had received
nothing official of the arrival Of the Shaft
CT expedition at Santiago and gave no in
formation to his many anxious callers.
He did not express any opinion of the sit
uation.
1t is said that the President did not
look for anything during the morning CT
the arrival of General Skaters fleet
he opinion of the War Department was
that the expedition did not arrive yestcr-
Gay, but that it would probably arrive this
morning. 1t is even anticipated that there
will be nothing exciting for the next few
Geys. General Miles told some of his call
ers this morning that he did not think the
expedition arrived yesterday.
1t Is said today that there has been no
change in the administrations plans abe ut
at once invading Porto Rico. 1t is pro-
pcsad to get a large expedition on the ISL
and before the stormy season begins in
July.
Representative Evans of Kentucky saw
the President to recommend the appoint
ment of Henry c. Bonnycastle of Louisville
as second lieutenant. 1t is thought the
appointment will be made.
The Refusal to- Exchange HObsOn.
The President Is understood to be sur
prised and panied at the refusal of the
Spanish authorities, to exchange Lieut..
Hobson and his fellow heroes. The Presi-
dent was confident from the first that an
exchange would be.agreed to by the Span
iards. One day last week a young brother
of the Santiago hero came to Washington
and went to see the President. The latter
told the anxious brother that everything
would come out ALI right.
1t is believed that this act of the Span
iards will do more o.turn sympathy from
them in Europe than anything else. The
American captives are to be used to shield
Spanish Notifications. and men from Amsri-
can bullets. If the presence of the Ameri-
cans in MORO Castle will keep that place
from bombardmentSthe Spaniards will be
cpntented to rssort.to this cowardly plan.
