TRANSPORTS.
Vessels Available for Carrying Thous-
ands of Men to Cuba Will Be Char
tered and Not Purchased.

Washington, D. c., April 220.-Ar-
rangements are being made by the
War Department for the transportation
of troops from southern ports to Cuba
and it is expected that they will be
perfected tomorrow or soon thereafter.
Colonel A. S. Kimball, chief quarter
master of the Department OF the East
will open bids at New York to-day for
the charter of steam vessels for this
important service. The government
will have no difficulty in securing a
sufficient number Of first class steam
vessels of good speed for the trans
portation Of the army to be sent to
Cuba.
Among the companies which have
offered vessels to the government for
this service are the following:
Iron Steamboat Company, of New
York City-Taurus, capacity 1000 pas
sengers; Cetus, 1,80C; Perseus, 1900;
Pegasus, 1900.
Plant System. at Tampa. la.-Mas-
cote, 1000; Olivette, 1000; Florida,
1000
Cape May & Delaware Bay Naviga
tion Company, at NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
lie, $500.
New York & Texas Steamship
Company, at New York City-Colorado.
LOCO; Leona, 1000, Alamo, 1000;
Lanpassas, 1000.
Southern Pacific Company, of New
York City-Arkansas, 1,009 Gussie.
LEGO; Morgan, LOCO; Whitney, 1,00C.
The probabilities are that arrange
ments will be made whereby the gov
eminent will secure most, if not all,
of the above vessels, in addition to
several others, whose names are with
held for the present. 1t is explained
by Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn that
the Department has deemed it advis-
able to charter, rather than purchase,
all the ships it may need for the trans
portation Of troops, and that all the
vessels engaged will be assembled at
the various points on the Atlantic sea-
board and the gulf coast most conven-
lent for the embarkation of troops.

RUSHED THROUGH.
House Passes an Emergency War
Measure at the Suggestion Of the
President.

Washington, April 20.-The House
to-day passed an emergency war meas
ure, the bill empowering the President
to call out the volunteer forces and pro-
viding for their organization. Both
the President and Secretary Alger had
urged the imperative necessity for the
passage of the bill to-day, and Chair
man Hull, of the military committee,
drove it through under whip and spur.
The bill was drafted at the War De-
partment and introduced in the House
yesterday, and considered and re-
pc 39d to-day No such expediency
would have been possible except under
the stress of war pressure. The bill is
permanent in it's character. The prin-
cipal change made in the bill as in
troduced was that the appointment OF
all regimental officers are to be made
by the Governors of the States in
stead of by the President, as was pro-
posed originally by the War Depart
ment This action conforms to the
practice of the civil war.
There was a tremendous sensation
in the House Immediately after the
reading CT the journal, when Major
Pruden, the Presidents executive
clerk, announced the Presidents APP
proval of the Cuban resolutions. The
galleries cheered and the members on
the floor applauded vigorously. The
Speaker with difficulty suppressed the
ovation with which the announcement
was greeted.
The Senate joint resolution authoriz-
ing the printing of extra copies OF the
military resolution was adopted.
