PLANS OF CAMPAIGN.
The Cabinet Determined Aggressive
Action All Along the Line.

Action All Along the Line.
WASHINGTON, May Sat to-day's
special cabinet meeting the leading sub
jects of discussion We're the measures to
be taken to reinforce Admiral Dewey at
Manila and the probable movement on
Cuba. AS to the former there has been
no material change in the plans. Approx
imateiy five thousand troops will be dis
patched on the City of Pekin and other
transports The Charleston will act as
convoy.
The McCulloch has not yet left Mrs
Bay, outside Hong Kong harbor, where
she is waiting for further instructions to
Admiral Dewey, which will be sent prob
ably to-day or tomorrow.
In his cablegram received here Saturday
the Admiral made no request for troops,
not knowing the governments intention
in regard to the occupation of the islands.
1t seems quite certain, however, that
the government intends to make an act
i've campaign against the Spanish forces
there, and Admiral Dewey will be so in
formed 1t is not probable that the
squadron will lombard the city or en-
gage in any active work against the for
tihcations there except such as the Ad-
miral may find necessary in order to re-
tain control of points now in his posses
sion. On the arrival of the troops, which
will be Immediately concentrated from
the Pacific coast States it is expected
that a landing will be made at once and
operations begun to capture the city and
reduce the remaining fortifications. In
addition to the five or six thousand
troops, the transports also will take out a
considerable cargo of supplies, including
ammunition.
The President and his cabinet are now
expecting important news from Admiral
SIMPSONS fleet which was dispatched
against Porto Rico. 1t is believed that
his victory there will be as complete as
was that of Admiral Dewey at Manila
although it is hardly to be expected that
the consequences to his fleet will be as
unimportant. No alarm is felt as to the
whereabouts of the Spanish feet and it
certainly is not expected that Admiral
Sampson will encounter them at Porto
Rico.
AS to the plans of campaign in Cuba, it
is understood that there has been no
material change from those announced
some time ago. At the proper time it is
expected that a landing will be effected
at some easily accessible point and that
an active campaign will then begin from
the rear as well as from the fleets in front
of Havana and other important seaports

PROBABLY NOT YELLOW JACK.

Tampa, Fla, May DIR. J. Y. Por
ter, State health officer, to-day re-
ceived a report from DR.. Sweeting,
agent Of the State Board of Health
at Key West, concerning the alleged
cases of yellow fever among the mem
bers of the prize crew of the Spanish
ship isrgonauta. According to DR..
Sweeting's report, only two of the
crew are sick with a slight fever
None of them had been near an in
fected port, but the craft and all on
board were placed at once in the quar-
antine station ten miles from Key
West, where five other prize vessels
are stationed. all from infected ports.
The fact that the sailors were taken
sick within "a hours of the time of
the boarding Argonauta leads DR.. Por-
ter to doubt that they have yellow
fever
Nevertheless, the quarantine regula-
tions will be enforced with the utmost
vigor. Not the slightest apprehension
is felt of the disease spreading, should
it prove to be the dreaded yellow
fever.

Washington, D. c., May 9.-In an
swer to repeated requests from all sec
tons of the country for information as
to where the various organizations of
State troops, which are being muster
ed into the United States service, are to
be sent, Secretary Alger to-day furnish
ed The Associated Press the following
statement showing the destination of
the volunteer troops. The list is sub
ject to a correction. 1t will be no.
ticed that generally speaking, three
points are to receive the greater num-
Der of troops. 1t appears that the ami
mating purpose of the department in
making the assignments was to divide
the volunteer forces in such a way as
to be available for three distinct pur-
poses. The first regiments raised in
each State mustered in and found ready
for service are to be sent to Chicka-
manga to be clicked into shape" and
then sent to Tampa and other gulf
ports, including Mobile. New Orleans
and Galveston, preparatory to embark
ing for Cuba. The second division of
regiments go to Washington, where
they are to form grand reserve. ready
to reinforce the Cuban army at any
moment, to man the coast defenses, or
for other purpose. The third division
is to remain for the present in the
States in which the organizations are
mustered, subject to call for duty in the
Philippines or for general reserve pur-
poses. Possibly they may never be
called upon to leave their native
States.
The official list of the Pennsylvania
Ohio and West Virginia regiments is as
follows:
To Washington, D. c.
Ohio. one regiment infantry and one
light battery artillery
Pennsylvania, four regiments infan-
try and one troop cavalry.
To Camp George H. Thomas, Chicka-
manga
Ohio, three regiments infantry; three
batteries light artillery, and eight
troops of cavalry.
Pennsylvania, six regiments infantry.
West Virginia, one regiment infantry
To Department commanders for coast
defense and reserve
Ohio, four regiments infantry
Pennsylvania, five regiments in
fantry; two batteries light artillery and
two troops cavalry.
