B. & o. REORGANIZATION.
New Plan Now Being Perfected By
Those Interested.

New York, May 5.-The Evening Post
says: The Baltimore & Ohio plan of
reorganization was signed today by all
interests, including Brown, Shipley &
Co. of London. 1t provides for 20 per
cent assessment on the stock. The ad-
vance in the price of the stock was
based on early information in regard
to this action.
President Cowen of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railway company is in Washing
ton, and at his Office it was said that
nothing was known as to the progress
of the reorganization plans. At the
office of F. T. Hambledon & Co, lead
ing members of the Baltimore reorgan-
ization committee, it was said that IN
less j. P. Morgan & Co. <1d agreed to
the proposition it would be of no avail,
and that it was doubtful if they had
signed such an agreement. The Nor
gan syndicate holds about $50, 900 900 of
the company'S securities, and Handle
don & Co. assert that no plan which in
any way disturbs the present status of
these securities can be carried through
at the present time.

TWENTY-FIVE INFANTRY.
Cuba It's Destination-Story of Pri-
vate Marshall.

Chickamauga National Park, May
5.-Orders were received from the war
department today by General Brooke,
commanding the provisional army corps
at Chickamauga Park, to dispatch tina
Twenty fifth infantry (colored), Colonel
Burt commanding, with all speed pos
sible to Tampa. Two companies of this
regiment are now at Dry Tortugas, and
it is believed that the destination of the
remainder of the regiment is at tho
same point. 1t is further believed that
the regiment will shortly go to the
front, as Colonel Burt, who has been
named as a brigadier general in the
volunteer army, is expected to go south
with his command. 1t is the purpose
to embark early tomorrow evening.
The Tenth cavalry (coloredD is ex-
pectinS orders to move tomorrow, as
are also the Sixth and Third cavalry.
The courtmartial trial of Private Mar
shall, Tenth cavalry, which was sta
toned near Fort Missoula, began today.
When the Twenty-fifth infantry left
Fort Missoula, Marshall was greatly
disappointed that he was not allowed
to go to the front also, and he imme-
diately left his command and beat his
way south by telling conductors on the
various railroads that he belonged TO
the Twenty fifth, and had been acct
dentally left behind. He reached Chick
amauga several days ahead of his COM
mand, and was Immediately put under
arrest.
Captain Oscar j. Brown, First cav
airy, has been appointed colonel of a
Georgia volunteer regiment, and given
an indefinite leave of absence from the
regular army.

ATTITUDE OF RUSSIA.
Friendship For United States From
Semi-official Source.

Washington, May 5.-A leading Rus
sian diplomat said today that the cable
report from London stating that En-
peror Nicholas of Russia was much dis
turbed as to the ultimate destiny of
the Philippines, and that some sort of
immediate intervention was probable.
was entirely unwarranted and placed
Russia in a misleading position before
the people Of this country. He said
the sentiment throughout Russia, Of
fetal and unofficial, is one of extreme
cordiality toward the United States.
and it shows that there will be no
change in the traditional friendship
existing between the United States and
Russia. The friendly feeling, he pointed
out, was shown by the Russian news
papers which arrived in the mail of
the Russian embassy on yesterday
They were published just after the
declaration of war, and their comment
was, without exception, OF the most
friendly character toward the United
States. He said this feeling prevailed
TO a marked extent, even among the
peasantry of Russia, and it was a mat
ter of surprise TO him, under such cir
cumstances, that reports should be cir
culated in the United States that Rus
STA was about to assume an unfriendly
attitude toward this country

WOLCOTT HOSTILE TO BONDS
so IS JONES OF THE FINANCE
COMMITTEE.
Senate Majority Report Will Be Ad-
verse to This Proposition In Con-
nection With War Revenue.

Washington, May 5.-The senate
committee on finance was not IN ses-
sion today, having adjourned over until
tomorrow in order to permit the Demo-
cratic members to prepare substitute
for the bond provisions of the revenue
bill. There is now no. doubt that there
will be a majority in the committee
against the bond feature, as Senator
Jones of Nevada has taken a position
against it and Senator Wolcott has IN
dictated that he will oppose it If an ac-
ceptable substitute can be secured
The Republican members of the COM
mittee, with the exception of Senator
Wolcott, were in conference over the
situation for several hours.
there Is uIIle doubt from senator VOL
colts expressions III the committee yes
terday and the fact that he did not sit
with the Republican members today, that
he will vote to eliminate the bond pro-
vision, but it is understood that he is not
quite so clear as TO the support OF a
substitute. The Republican members are
disturbed over the discovery of his posi-
ton and are considering how to best re-
pair the breach OccaSioneG by his prob
surprised at Mr.. Jones position. although
they had hoped to be able to secure his
support of the measure practically as it
passed the house
colt and Senator Jones, of Nevada, voted
with the Democrats in the committee on
finance yesterday, was general decIara-
ton to the effect that the bill should pro-
vide more than $4,000 900 in revenue.
On this ethe two western senators
aligned themselves with the Democrats.
and in opposition to the Republicans.
The declaration was construed by the
Republican members as in opposition TO
the bond provision.
The Democratic members of the finance
committee held q conference late this
afternoon and agreed upon an amend
ment they will offer to the bill. imposing
a tax of one per cent upon the revenues
of certain corporations, including rail-
road express. sleeping car. telegraph ana
telephone companies. This probably is
the only addition they will suggest to the
revenue portion of the bill. but it is prob
able that they will also urge the coinage
of the silver seigniorage in the treasury.
and the issuance of at least $50 O00.00O in
greenbacks. The Seigniorage amounts to
about So. 0000 coo. and the intention is to
authorize the issuance of certificates for
il. so as to secure immediate money and
not wait upon the coinage of the silver.
These certificates. with the greenbackS,
would give 1872, 0oO. 600 of immediate cash.
and the Democrats think this would be
sufficient for the immediate wants of the
government. They believe that the tax
they propose on corporations would in
crease the regular revenues TO the ex-
int of about $50, 010,OO0 annually.

regent of Spain grows daily more diffl-
cult, no step can be taken by the Aus
TRAN cabinet in the matter, notwith-
standing the deep and wide sympathy
felt in high quarters here.
1T is stated at the foreign office that
separate and isolated action on the part
of Austria must be carefully avoided.
This is only in strict accordance with
the principles already laid down.
Moreover, such an attempt at rem
dering assistance to the queen regent
might be easily misinterpreted, and be-
sides meeting with the strongest OPP
position from those who side with the
Americans, could not fail to give rise to
misunderstanding in many quarters.
Accordingly, there is firm deter
mination here that if Austria takes any
part at all with regard to the conflict 1t
viii be only to take part in united ac-
ton by European cabinets, and then
only if Spain herself seeks the interview
ton of the pOWerS.''

Commissioner Blanchard.

New York, May 5.-Commissioner
George r. Blanchard of the Joint Traf-
fic association took occasion today to
deny the truth of the reports from
Washington that President Mckinley
has slated him for o brigadier generals
commission, with full charge of the
transportation of the troops of the
United States in the advance on Cuba
Mr.. Blanchard said that he had, from
purely patriotic motives, offered his SER
vices to the government. His offer has
been accepted, and he is now co-operat-
ing with the war department. He does
not expect a commission in the army.

POORLY SUPPLIED WITH COAL
Condition of Spanish Navy From an
Expert Who Knows.


New York. May 5.-A dispatch from
London says:
The New York World has obtained
from H. w. Wilson, author of Iron
clads in Action" the most noted living
British naval expert, precise state
ment of just how coal considerations
affect the operative powers of the
Spanish squadron. He writes:
In view of the various very dis
crepant statements made respecting
the Spanish cruisers coal capacity, it
is uncertain what quality of coal is on
board, and whether it is the best Welsh
steam or the rubbishly Spanish or Ger
man coal Of the latter, three tons
will only do the work Of two tons of
the former.
Spain had no large stocks of coal,
so it is probable that there is much
poor stuff in the bunkers. Besides the
coal carried in bunkers. some can be
slowed in Bags for a long voyage. The
quantity thus carried is naturally I'M
certain, but about the extreme limit
for the size Of the ship is allowed.
"All the Spanish armored cruisers
have economical triple expansion
engines, but their stokers are believed
TO be inferior. The speed used would be
economical, about ten knots, until the
American fleet or cruisers are sighted"

but it was agreed, on the instance of
the majority, to defer reporting upon
the appointment until the police reor-
ganization scheme is a thing of the
past. The committee also postponed
action on the claim of Mrs. Hampton,
the jail matron. for $24.S0, the cost of
improving her apartments in cOnnec-
ton with the prison boarding house.
The expenditure was unauthorized and
the probabilities are the claim will be
disallowed.

\ Prominent Statesman in Spain says She
win Accept our Terms.
Special to EVENING HERALD.
Madrid May l3.-Although the Cabinet
crisis is not yet officially announced, there is
no longer shadow of doubt that it exists
and is very acurate for the government is
and has been for several days, one in name
only. In day or two a new Ministry will
rule.
Seniors Moret and Gullon will retire. One
of the most prominent statesmen in Spain
declares that the reconstructed Cabinet will
Immediately treat for peace on President Nc
Kinleys conditions, on the basis of the cession
of Cuba and Porto Rico. The position of
the new cabinet can be slated as follows {:
Spain will be willing to give up both Cuba
and Porto Rico and retire altogether from
this hemisphere, if she is permitted to re-
tain her colonies in the Philippines.
The changes in the cabinet are logically
certain to be made, and then the govern
ment will try to secure peace by every means
in its power.

TALK OF INTERVENTION.
France, Russia and Germany Fear That
Our Government May Retain
the Philippines.

London, May 13.-Inquiries in quar-
ters where official opinion is closely
followed suggest that the obvious un-
easiness of France, Russia and Ger
many over the continuance of the war
has been communicated to official
quarters here.
Austria has special dynastic reasons
for desiring peace France, Russia
and Germany find ground for alarm
lest America should be led so far on the
path of conquest that American public
opinion should demand the retention of
the Philippines, if not other Spanish
possessions. 1t is understood that
representations have been made to the
government here from some European
capitals, Paris among them, in favor
of joint Intervention, nominally in the
interests of peace, but really, as it ap-
pears in high quarters here, to forestall
any attempt at American acquisitions
outside of Americas home sphere.
Amy such attempt to coerce America
out of her legitimate sphere of spoil
as France, Russia and Germany CO.
creed Japan, will find no support here.
The feeling in official as well as in gen
eral quarters tends rather to that of
Mr.. Cecil Rhodes, who expresses him
self very forcibly on Englands true
policy and advises America to stick
to what she gets. Mr.. Rhodes says;
Never mind what other people say
let her stick to the Philippines. Let
England give her moral support. That
will keep the other powers quiet. Let
America in return keep an open door
IN the Philippines giving England, and
any other power who treats her as well
fiscally as England does, the same
freedom in the Philippine market as
America herself will enjoy"
