No new cases have developed for seve-
raj days, and a spread Of the disease Is

easiness here over the few cases discov-
cred. The precautions taken are com

AN ORDER OF EXPANSION.
Organizations Under the First Call to be Recruited Up to Full Strength Inde-
 pendent of the Second Call.

WASHINGTON, June 2.-An order has been issued by the war department which provides that the organ izations accepted and mustered into the United States service under the presidents first call for troops will be expanded from the 75,000 men asked for under the second cail so that each regiment shall consist of F companies. troops or batteries, and each battalion or squadron of four companies and of the maximum enlisted strength provided by the volunteer army act Regimental and independent battalion commanders are to select recruiting party to obtain recruits in the locality where the organization was raised. Additional companies necessary for the completion of regiments and battalions are to be mustered by the same rules that obtained under the presidents first proclamation.
The Forrest City times., 1898-06-03
UNDER THE SECOND CALL
Adjt--Gen. Corbin Making Up the Appor- tionment- Concessions May be Made
 for the Sake of Harmony.

WASHINGTON, June 2.-Adjt. -Gen Corbin is engaged in making up the apportionment of troops which each state is to be asked to furnish under President McKinley's second call for 75.- GOO men. Because of an excess over their quota under the last call some of the states will not be asked for any ad- ditional men at this time. So far as is possible the existing regiments will be recruited to their maximum strength. Some of the state governors, in their eommunieat Jns with the war depart ment. have man fested decided opposi tion to filling ID the existing regi m ants, preferring to cruit entirely or ganizations, and in some of theso ases 1t is believed likely the department may yield, although no one will make any official statement to that effect. There is disposition on the part of the war de partment to avoid any unseemly wran- gle over the matter, but instead to yield point for the sake of appearances. Ample authority, it is said, exists un- der the volunteer act for the war de- partment to proceed on it's own respon- sibility with the work of recruiting without calling on the governors to assist in that work.

 Inside the entrance to the harbor was seen one of the warships of Ger vera's fleet, stripped for action.
 As the American fleet drew near the New Orleans was detached, and steamed forward ahead of the Iowa, Notifications opened fire on her, and she replied, the other two ships directing the fire at the battery on the Punta Gorda within the harbor and to westward Of the position occu- pied by the Spanish ship.
