FOURTH Objects.
Prefers to Be Enlisted as a
Whole Rather Than
Individually.

The members of the Fourth Regiment
are opposed to enlisting as individual
volunteers. but all will enlist should the
regiment be recognized. 1t was reported
that only about a dozen men had agreed
to go as individual volunteers. but this
is not accurate. There will be many who
will enlist should the War Department
decide not to admit the organization as
a whole On this point Brigadier-General
P. Farmer Wanser had this tc say to a
News representative this morning
1.-THE present impression is that the war
authorities will take the regiment as q
whole and in that case the present fegi-
mental officers would be reappointed.
That is my understanding OF the sltuallon.
but the War Department may change al
the last moment and then there would be
some feeling about it.
cone Governor continued General
Wanser It see has refused to allow the
militia to go out of the State, on the
ground that his coast line needs defence
and he does ont think 1t right to send
his trained militiamen out OF the state
The Governor says that if the men enlist
ing now win be ample, he sees no reason
for letting go his militia and leaving the
coast of his State defenceless-
On this point it would be we'll TO re-

CABINET MEETING.

WASHINGTON, April 26. 1885. The
Cabinet meeting today, which lasted from
Ii until l O clock, was uneventful, so far
as its deliberations were made public.
The matter of the prizes already taken
by our fleet in Cuban waters was inci-
dentally referred to, particularly the case
of the Buena Ventura. This and all other
prize cases go to the prize court, which
is the United States District Court hav-
ing jurisdiction of the port where landed.
All nations, 1T is said, recognize prop
erly constituted prize courts as the only
authority having jurisdiction and their
decisions are taken as conclusive and
final The government has no thought
of releasing any prizes taken except
in rare cases. where an evident error has
been committed. Up to the time the Cab
met meeting closed nothing or an impor-
tant character had been received from
Key West, Havana or Madrid. No attacks
on or by our vessels had been reported,
nor had any late news been received as
to the movements of the Cape Verde
Island fleet.
With the exception of Secretary Gage,
who is in New York, all of the members
of the Cabinet were present, including
Secretary Sherman. General Wilson,
chief of engineers, was with the Cabi-
net a part of the session, discussing coast
defeuceS.

purchase supplies for the I'll passengers
who embarked. The Saratoga sailed
about $50 A. M of the 22d and proceeded
toward the sea. In the meantime the
sentiment of the people was displayed in
different manner. They lined the shores
of the narrow channel in dense crowds,
jeering and hooting. eursing and hurting
obscene epithets at the steamer and her
passengers.
While passing down the channel three
guns were fired from each side OF the

day evening, as result of the neutrality

her vicinity. The fires of the Somers
will be quenched and the crew of the
torpedo boat will be paid off during the
course of the day. The Somers will then
be toWed further up the harbOr and will
be rnoored until further orders.
One American and four Scandinavian
seamen arrived here this morning from
London to join the Somers. The Customs
authorities sent them to the Sailors.
Home, and warned them that they would
be arrested if they left the building
It developed later in the day that the
Commander of the Somers was only no.

the supervision of the local naval au-
thorities.
1t is understood that if prosecution

Panther Sails Under Convoy for
Key West--An Inspiring
Scene.

ON BOARD FLAGSHIP BROOKLYN,
OFF FORT MONROE. VT, April IS, 1895.
The stirring incidents of this morning
in Hampton Roads made enthusiasm boil
up to fever heat. Shortly before eight
o'clock one of the little guard boats that
the government will use hereafter to con-
duct friendly steamers through the lines
of mines and torpedoes. shot off to the
bridge of the flagship almost simultane-
ously called :-"Cruiser Montgomery ap-
preaching, sir.
Sweeping along at a rapid rate, her
beautiful lines showing up well in the
Quaker gray paint, the cruiser came down
the Roads preceded by the little packet
boat guiding her between the dangerous
lines of explosives. When near the
Brooklyn. salute was fired to Commo-
dore Schley and returned by the flagship.
Then the transport Panther, with its
800 men, raised anchor and With the for
midable cruiser as escort, started for sea.
It was then that enthusiasm broke out.
the decks In long lines. and waving their
hats gave vent to mighty cheers, while
sailors, marines. even firemen on the big
warships. crowded TO the forecastles and
returned them with will. The men on
the Montgomery joined in the chorus and
the cheers respunded from ship to ship,
continuing until the transport and convoy
were out of hail.
Hardly had the pair gone than BOOM
ing afar off announced another approach
and the gunboat Vicksburg came along
on her way out, firing a salute to the
Commodores flag. The flagship doomed
a seven gun answer and then the men
on the Vicksburg swarmed into the rig
ging and almost lost their hats in their
enthusiasm. Each ship of the squadron
returned the cheer with a will and men
went back to their duties with an ach-
ing desire to follow the ships out. The
Panther goes out with splendid protec-
tion, on her journey to Key West, the
convoy being large and able to care for
anything, while all along her route are
strewn active and formidable members
OF the mosquito fleet.
