While the contest for Congress in
the First district has seemingly
''flashed in the pan" leaving Mr.. Pow
ers secure, there is a prospect of a
lively fight in this district. Two can
didacies in opposition to Gen. Grout
are already announced-those of Hon.
Frank Plumley of Mortified and Hon,
Lavant NJ. Read of Bellows Falls-and
it is darby limited hat Brattleboro has
as aspirant, which will be either Gen.
julius j. Estey or DR.. Henry D.llolton,
as they may agree among themselves.
Messrs. Plumley and Read r. IA
miliar figures in such contests, having
already measured lances with Gen.
Grout, though without much
There is considerable sentiment in the
district that Gen. Grout has held the
place long enough and that another
good man would be more satisfactory,
There is also some feeling against Gen.
Grout in some localities because OF the
manner in which sundry postoflice
squabbles have been settled. On the
other hand it cannot be denied that the
power of the Grouts is strong in the
land. The Gen. especially has a host
of friends who will rally to his support
this time as in years past, forming Il
compact body He also has an adj
vantage in the division among his OPP
ponents. If they could unite on any
one man there would be more danger
to CIRCUITS chances and it is possible
that such may be the outcome rs the
canvass shapes itself later.

PALMA DOESN'T BELIEVE IT.
Thinks the Cuban Regulars Not Respousi-
bic for What Scattered Soldiers
May Have Done.

WASHINGTON, July E1.-Gen Palma
president of the Cuban junta is in the
city. He does not believe the stories
about reported friction between Cuban
soldiers and the Americans.
II think" he said, ''all Cubans re-
cognize the nice work of the United
States in helping the Cubans to gain
their independence. l cannot think
any regular soldiers of the Cuban army
have refused to help build roads,
dig trenches, etc. 1 do not
know what some few scattered
soldiers may have done, but it is not
reasonable to suppose that any of the
regulars under Garcia have declined to
perform any such service. Cen Garcia
from the beginning said he was ready
to do all that was necessary to aid the
Americans, and his soldiers have for
years been doing just such work as
you refer to. They have grown ac-
customed to it."
'What do you estimate as the num-
Der of Cuban soldiers under arms in
Cuba at the present time?" was asked
II think we have about Sd, 900 Cuban
soldiers under arms in Cubn now"
said Gen. Palma. There are proba.
blS about 1000 or 5000 with Garcia.
and the balance of them are scattered
all over Cuba. 1t must be remem.
bered that we have possession of a
good many towns, and there must
be a guard maintained over them by
our Cuban army.

ARMY OFFICERS PREDICTION.
The United States Will Have to Send Forty
Thousand Troops to Manila to
Preserve Order.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 22.-An after.
noon paper asserts on the authority of
an unnamed army officer that 10000
troops will be sent to the Philippines
from this city. The assertion is based
on the surnise that the insurgents
will give the United States trouble,
and that it will require at least 10000
United States soldiers to preserve or
der in the Philippines.
Preparations arc being made to rush
the available transports, and nearly
1000 soldiers will be dispatched in two
weeks. The transport Arizona, re-
Gently purchased by the government,
and which arrived from Puget Sound
yesterday, will be fitted out immedi-
ately, as will also the transport Scan.
dia.
No troops have been designated to &c
on these vessels, but they will be Sc
lected and fully equipped before the
steamers are ready to receive them.
Their exact capacity cannot be learned
until the hunks are in place.
The st. Paul will sail next week,
and the Tacoma, with cavalry horses
will also be dispatched at the earliest
possible day. The government is still
looking for available troopships, and
one or two now at q Puget Sound port
may be added to the list.
