CHICAGO, May ia special from
Washington to the Journal says: 1t
was officially announced at the war
department today that Gen. Merritt
will have the strongest division OF
5000 that it il possible to raise in
the United States. Besides the 1000
regulars which have been assigned to
his command he will be given the
pick of the troops i'm the various
states, until his quota has been filled.
In addition to the Tenth Pennsyl-
vania, it is probable that he will be
given one of the best regiments from
New York, a crack regiment from
Ohio and one from Michigan and a
fifth from Illonois; a sixth from
Minnesota, has already been ordered
to San Francisco, and Nebraska will
contribute one regiment to the ex-
petition.
1t is the plan to embark 1000 men
as soon as supplies can be put aboard
the City OF Pekin.
This vanguard will be commanded
by Gen. Otis and will be used for the
purpose of taking possession o Cavite
and preparing camp for those who
are to follow.
1t is declared to be the intention of
the administration to continue
pouring troops into the Philippines,
until there is a force sufficient to
govern every island i'm the group.
WASHINGTON, May 20.-All news
given out today at the navy depart
ment was comprised of one short
bulletin, posted at the close of the
day, stating that the department
authentic that Admiral Cerevera
with his Spanish flying squadron
was at Santiago de Cuba. This
went to confirm the newspaper re-
ports and also the Madrid cablegram
published this morning. The latter
is a rather unusual circumstance, for
spanish bulletins have been notably
deceptive ever since the flying squad
left Cadiz.
Accepting this statement ascorrect
it indicates that there is little prob
ability of q hostile meeting between
or Schley and Cerevera
Immediately. Looking over the
charts of Santiago harbor the ex-
perts soon discovered that the
place would be a Variable rat trap
for the Spainards, with it's narrow
in which a single American
Monitor could bottle up the whole
Spanish fleet.

The EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF figs

LIE EACELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the are and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
&c. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the C~ALIFoRNIA FIG SYRUP Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FoRNIA FIG SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. 1t is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not grippe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of

their hands. Preparations will be
made accordingly, and the advance
will be made upon cuba with a suf-
ficient force to make the campaign
short and decisive. Little reliance
will be placed upon the Cuban in
surgents. The officers of the army
as a rule, have not thought very
highly of the army of General
Gomez. They think still less of it
since the failure of the Gussie
expedition.
However backward Spain may
have been in other directions she is
ready to make a stubborn resistance
in Havana. The authorities here
know that during the past year
military supplies of all kinds have
been sent to Cuba i'm largequantities.
A great number of Krupp and Arm
strong guns have been purchased by
the Madrid government and sent to
Cuba with large quantities of pro-
~jectiles and smokeless powder. Most
of the new gun sent to Cuba have
been mounted at Havana and in the
immediate neighborhOod of that
city. 1t is here that General Blanco
is determined to make his last stand.
New batteries have been erected COM
handing the approaches from the
sea. and while only very indefinite
Information al be obtained as to
what has tr%anspired in the island
since the declaration of war, it is
believed considerable work has been
done in strengthening the d~efences of
the land approaches to Havana.
Reports that General Blanco is short
of ammunition are not credited here,
especially by the navy department.
He has shown a disposition to use
his powder and shot against
American vessels of all descriptions,
which seems to indicate that his sup
ply is not running short.

the Cuban evacuation commission,
Gen. Wade, Gen. Butler and Admiral
Sampson, had recommended that an
army of $4,000 was requisite to main
tain order in Cuba. 1t might be found
that all the $1,000 men would not be
absolutely requisite. But we are
holding 10000 men in readiness to go

Otis, in command there, had recon-
mended that 25.OOO men were required
there" In Porto Rico the officers in
command recommend that the force
now on hand is about adequate for the
requirements. The present force there
is 6,1OO. That makes 81, 900 men, leav-
ing, with an army of 100000, about
$4,000 reserves at home.

strict than the night before. The lines
of the soldiers have been extended and
it is impossible for any one, save for

military lines do not extend the patrol
has been increased and no lettering on
the streets is permitted. Owing to this
stern control no further disorder has
occurred and none is expected to occur
