CUBANS PLEASED.
Will Cooperate With United
States in War With Spain.

NEW YORK, April 19.-The follow
ban resolutions was given out to-day at
the office of the Cuban Junta:
THE resolutions as they stand are
tantamount to a recognition of the Gu
ban Republic The declaration is that
the people of Cuba are free and inde-
pendent, While the Cuban people ac-
knowledge allegiance only to the Re-
public of Cuba, which they have estab-
lished and maintained by force of arms.
The only object of the insurrection was
the independence of the Cubans. THIS
is provided for by the resolutions. The
Cubans asked that before intervention
there be recognition of independence.
This was also provided for by the res
olutions. Their desire to run their own
Government free from coercion is pro-
vided for by the fourth paragraph of
the resolution.
Under these circumstances the de-
mand made by the United States that
Spain at once evacuate the island and
the threat that in the event of her re-
fusal the land and naval forces of the
United States will be used to compel
evacuation certainly merits the deepest
gratitude on the part of the Cubans.
Should force be necessary on the
part of the United States, there will be
the most complete cooperation by the
Cuban Government and it's army Coast
pilots and practiced pilots viii be
placed Immediately at the service Of
the United States, and in every way

figures covered in plans already in eff
feet or in contemplation, yiz.: Standing
army, 1900; by call for volunteers,
10000; by calling out State militia, 49,,
IOCW or 100000; by army reorganization
bill, 5000
Leaving aside the present regular
,army force, the second and fourth items
are practically settled on in committee,
while the third-the State militia-is
being actively canvassed, and while
there are different views, they are ex-
Ipected to crystalline into an authorize
ton to call out the numbers stated.
The bill drawn up by the War De-
partment for Introduction by Repre-
sentative Hull, Chairman of the Mill
tary Committee, authorizes the Presi-
dent to call for something like 60,G0O
volunteers to be drawn through the
various States. While this method OBJ
viates the legal technicalities involved
in the services of State militia organ
ization, it is likely the volunteers thus
obtained through quotas furnished by
the respective State and Territorial
Governors will come from within State
militia ranks.
The plan of the Committee on Militia
to effectually put a large number of
the militia at the disposal of the Presi-
dent is being formulated. Some think
100000 excessive, but Chairman Marsh
and others regard the figures as con-
servative, in the view that the reso-
IlutionS evidently mean war. The Pres
ident, as now suggested by Representa-
tive Marsh, can call out the militia at
any time, and Congress follow up the
executive action by legislative enact
ment providing for their mastering in
to the United States service. At the
same time the army reorganization bill
recently recommended by the House is
being carefully pruned in the Military
Affairs Committee to meet objections.
1t is proposed to extend the army or
ganization to the three battalion war
formation and to Increase the batter
les of artillery to 200 men each This
measure, it is claimed, may bring about
5000 more men into the regular ser
vice, to be added to the present u, 900
regular troops.

STORY OF A WATCH.
Searight Says It Was Stolen From
Jeweler Wachhorst

officer Fisher has for some time past
been looking up the record of James,
better known as Brick Searight, one
of the two men who recently burglar
lied a Japanese house, and who will
this morning appear before Judge Hart
for sentence.
The officers learned that about year
ago Searight sold a gold watch to a
young man in this city for So, and he
was inclined to believe that it was one
stolen from the residence of Mrs. DR..
Lomax of Stockton, which was robbed
about the time Searight disposed of the
watch.
Fisher had a talk with Searight last
night with reference to the watch, and
the latter said it was one taken from
WachhorSt's jewelry store at the time
of the first diamond robbery several
years ago.
1t is needless, probably, to say that
Searight's story is given little credence.
The officer was unable to find Mr.
Wachhorst so as to ascertain whether
or not a watch similar to the one IN
question had been stolen

WAR DEPARTMENT BILL.
Provides for Temporarily Increas-
inc Military Strength.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-The War
Department bill to provide for tempo
rarily increasing the military establish
ment in the event of war was sent to
Chairman Hull of the House Military
| Affairs Committee, and Senator HaW-
! ley, Chairman of a similar committee
in the Senate. The measure was pre-
pared under the supervision of Assist
ant Secretary MeiklejOhn, after a care
full study of the best interests of the
service. In transmitting the bill to Con-
gress a request is made for favorable
consideration, and in view of the eX-
. igencieS of the situation speedy action
is required.
In time of war the army is to consist
of two branches, the regulars and vol
unteer army the latter to be maintain
ed only during the existence of war or
while war is imminent, and is to be
raised and organized after Congress
authorizes it. All enlistments for the
volunteer army are to be for three
years, unless sooner terminated. All
the regimental and company officers
of the volunteer army are to be ap-
pointed by the President, upon the rec
concentrations of the Governors of the
izations are raised.
Concerning the National Guard, it is
provided that when the members of any
company or regiment of the organized
militia shall enlist in the volunteer
army in a body, as such company OF
regiment, the regimental and company
officers in service with the militia or
ganzation thus enlisting may be ap-
pointed by the President, subject to an
examination as to fitness and capacity
to be officers of the corresponding
grades in the same organization when
| it is received the same as a part of the
| volunteer army.
Troops in time of war, whether be-
| longing to the regular or volunteer
| army, or to the militia, are to be or
| ganiZed into divisions of three brigades
each brigade to be composed of three
| or more regiments, and when three or
| more divisions are assembled in the
same army the President is to organize
| them into army corps, each corps to
consist of not more than three divisions
The President is to appoint in the
volunteer army not exceeding one Ma
| jOr-General for each organized army
| corps and division, and one Brigadier-
General for each brigade, to be selected
| from the regular or volunteer army or
| the militia.
Plans now being formulated in Con-
gress involve the placing of about 300
| 900 soldiers in round numbers at the
disposal of the Government within a
short time after the Cuban resolutions
are approved by the President This
! calculation is based upon the following
The record-union., 1898-04-20

of the half hour in the presentation of
his views on the financial situation.
The Cabinet was in session about an
hour and half. At 12:30 o'clock an
adjournment was taken until $50
o'clock after a decision was reached
to prepare an ultimatum to Spain, the
ultimatum and the Cuban resolutions
to be signed simultaneously.
Soon after the session closed the
President and Secretary Bliss took a
walk through the White House
grounds.
THE CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS.
The Cabinet meeting, it was learned
during the afternoon. practically settled
the question as TO how many Volun-
teers shall be called for to supplement
! the regular army in their operations in
Cuba. the conclusion being arrived at
that the President shall call for $4,000
men of the national militia.
Secretary Alger, after this decision
was reached, repaired to the War De-
partment and sent for MajCr-General
Miles and Adjutant General Corbin. a
conference lasting nearly an hour was
held as TO the means to be employed to
give effect TO the decision of the Pres =
ident and the Cabinet Considerable
progress was made in outlining the
plan to be followed, but owing TO the
compIexity of the subject all details
could not be arranged at the first con-
ference. 1t is purposed to utilize this
additional force in conformity to the
terms of the bill submitted to-day to
Congress through Secretary Alger
through Senator Hawley.
3 According to the decision therein laid
down, presuming the bill to be enacted
into a law the President would first
apply to Congress for the special per-
mission required in this case to call Tor
volunteers The men thus secured,
whether attached to the first organized
militia or not, would necessarily pass
into the service of the United States.
This would be necessary probably in
order to escape a violation of the Con-
stitutional prohibition against sending
the State militia out of the country.
The additional men would still, how
ever. be actual volunteers, and only in
name part of the regular establishment,
The law requires that in a call for
troops the number required must be
distributed according to population
among the several States. In antici-
patlOn OF TINS call, the department. OH
cials have prepared a table showing
the number of men that would be re-
quired from each State, according 10
the apportiOnment of the last census.
1t was said by Secretary Alger after
the conference that the matter had not
yet advanced far enough to make it
possible to send to Congress to-day a
message for the President asking for
the authority to issue a call for volun-
I teerS.
