ture, which Would Interfere with
Plans Mapped Out.
Washington, May 9.-At a cabinet
meeting today, besides the war situa-
tion in its general aspect, there was
some discussion Of the relative merits
of persons seeking brigadier- general
ships and other commissions in the
army. The president expressed him
self very pronouncedly as opposed to
the appointment to such responsible
positions OF those who have had 10
military experience.
One feature Of the session was dis
cussion of the attitude OF the senate In
providing the "sinews OF war" for de-
fraying the expenditures of the war.
The president has positive information
that the senate committee on finance,
which is still struggling with the war;
revenue bill, will report the measure
with the bond feature eliminated.
This causes the administration great
uneasiness and embarrassment, and the
statement is made that the possibility
of adverse action Of the full body OF the
senate is a source of much anxiety.
The president laid before the cabinet
the information he had as to what is
to be looked for from the senate, and,
while not expressing absolute conf
dence In favorable action by the senate
with the bond feature incorporated, ex-
pressed the hope that there would be a
satisfactory majority for the bond pro-
vision. Should it not become part Of
the law, many urgent appropriations
for the war will have TO be held back.
The money to be secured from bond
sales, it is said, is needed imperatively
for the execution Of the plans mapped
out, and adverse action by the senate
was likely to interfere unless the money
is otherwise provided, and by as speedy
method as by the issuance OF bonds.
The administration is anxious to i'm
press this fact upon congress, so that
ample revenues may be at hand for a
vigorous prosecution of the war.
There was considerable qualification
evineed at the general war outlook.
There was strong belief that the
Spanish feet. instead Of sailing across
the seas to intercept the Oregon or to
come into the waters near home to be-
gin operations, would be found eventu-
ally to be now progressing to some point
closer to it's own possessions on the
other side of the ocean.
While there is great reticicnce on
the part of members of the admlnistra-
tion on the subject, there is excellent
authority for the statement that the
instructions of Admiral Sampson give
him great latitude.
1t was announced by Secretary Alger
today that the volunteer army will con-
sist of seven corps, each in command OF
a major general.
Theodore Roosevelt was mustered in
as lieutenant-colone today. Fighting
Joe" Wheeler was the first OF the major
generals of the volunteer amy to he
mustered in. Wheeler has the distino-
tion of being the first ex-Contederate
officer to receive q commission in the
military service of the Omitted States.

Washington. May 9.--An interna-5
tional difficulty, connected with the
seizure OF the French steamer Lafayl
ette, has been removed by the prompts
release Of the vessel Immediately upon
notice Of her capture reaching the state
department The explanation Of tha8
action Of the administration 10 given ipf
the statement which follows, and which
was issued from the White House t0-N
night:
The Lafayette was released in pursue
ance Of orders which were Issued by thesl
navy department previous to her seiz-
ure, but which had not been received
by the commanding officers Of the ves-
sells that made the capture. The facts
are that, on April 20, the French ems
bassy made an informal inquiry as to
whether the Lafayette. which left Saint
Nazarre, France, for Vera Cruz, bysI
way of Havana, before war was de-
clared, or information of the blockade
was received, would be allowed to land
In Havana, her passengers, mail bags
and the dispatch bag Of the consulate-t
general Of France, and take soine
French passengers ON board. An assur-
ance was given that, if this privilege
should be granted, the steamer would
be forbidden by the French consul to
land goods.
The matter was duly considered, and
1t was decided that, without regard t0''
the strict law of blockade, and as an
act Of courtesy, the request Of the.
French government should be acceded
to. Orders were accordingly sent on
the second day OF May.
When information was received Of
the capture of the steamer and Of her
having been brought TO Key West,
these orders were communicated to her
captors, with instructions to release
the steamer and see that the orders
were duly delivered, so that
they might be carried into effect. No
demand was made either by or on bel
half of the French government. directly
or indirectly, for the steamers release.
The Wilmington will escort the Lafay-|
ette to Havana tonight.
