Capt. Olmstead, the officer who mus
tered in the Iowa national guard, says
that fully % per cent. of the men failed
to pass. Out of 5000, 80 could not
meet the required standard. 1t is prob
able that the same condition will be
found to exist here and elsewhere. OF
course the regulations are very severe
on the first troops called out and they
should be. The result OF the physical
examinations yesterday indicated that
there will be room for several hundred
new men in the First Regiment. Lieu
tenant Duff is making rigid requirements
and he is entirely right in SO doing. If
we are TO have but one regiment let it be

The .Anerican, Philadelphia: The
war appropriations are mounting rapid
Iy. First there was the emergency ap-
prlation of $4,000, O00, then came a de-
~ficlency appropriation bill based on esti-
mates Of the war department and car
u a naval deficiency appropriation
bill OF ne arly sd, 100000. Besides there
has been passed, only within the week
the regular naval appropriation bill,
which carries at least s20,OOO,OOO more
than the average naval bill. This great
increase is largely called for by new bat
tle,hips and torpedo boats authorized by
the bill, and which additions to our navy
we're not contemplated until the al
with Spain became inevitable. Because
OF that war congress now readily auth.
orizes them. There is little probability
that any OF the vessels now authorized
will be completed in time to take part in
the war with Spain.
The house closed last week by passing
the war revenue measure after voting
down all the amendments proposed by

Insurgents Harass the City and Cut
OF Supplies.

Toronto. Ont, June 20.-A cable dis
patch has reached here from Havana,
it having been more than three days
on the way. 1t is from merchant, and
deals with private affairs, but has three
ominous words, Affairs growing
worse" referring to the condition of the
city
Some letters from Havana have also
arrived. They were three weeks on the
way They state that the outlook is
desperate, and that there is no posi-
bility of keeping the insurgents out or
the best part of the province. They
constantly harasS the city, cut on the
supplies and destroy the roads.
General Blanco has sent out force
to dislodge the insurgents, but the
train was derailed and the soldiers had
to retreat and came back. leaving many
dead.
The blockade is said to have been run
several times by small vessels, but the
total stores and ammunition landed
was of little account. The statement
is made that the city and garrison can
not withstand close investment
The poDulace believe Great Britain
and the United States have united in
the blockade. The officers of II. Nj. ).

the garrison and reported 1t to the
United States admiral. They believe
Admiral Cervera's fleet has been sunk

DEWEY WILL WAIT.
No Assault On Manila Until Second
Expedition Arrives.

washingto2, June 20.-It is not
doubted that just about the time
Shafter appears off Santiago the
Charleston will appear in Manila bay,
leading the three transports, which
bring nearly 5000 soldiers to Deweys
assistance. That fact will not be
known, however, officially for two or
three days, owing to the distance from
there to Hongkopg, the nearest cable
point. It is questioned here whether,
with this force to back him, Dewey
viii feel justified in assaulting Manila,
or even in accomplishing its surrender.
Either course would involve respon-
Sibility for the admiral and it is eX-
t.emely desirable that no preteXt be
afforded jealous European powers for
intervention at Manila, under guise
of protecting the interest of their sub
jects. Therefore, it may be that the
admiral viii wait for another ten days,
until the second installment of troops
reaches CaVite. In this case he prob
ably will land the troops that arrive
in the town of Cavite, which is now
completely under the control of himself
and the insurgents and employ the
time in accustOming them to Manila
methods and climate.

INTERVIEW WITH GARCIA.
Cuban Commander Sends Message
TO the Americans.

Copyright, 1898. by the Associated Press,
OFF Santiago de Cuba, Sunday, June
10, By the Associated Press Dispatch
Boat, Filed Kingston, Jamaica, Mon
day, June pa correspondent, of the
Associated Press has been afforded an
opportunity of interviewing General
CallXIo Garcia, who, with his staff,
was brought to Admiral Sampson S
flagship this morning on the gunboat
Vixen. The white-haired general was
lying in the cabin of Captain Chad
wick, the commander of the New York.
He was sick.
This is the message General Garcia
sends to the American people:
Il am greatly obliged for the efforts
of the American people in securing the
independence of Cuba, and 1 shall do
all l can to defeat the SDaniardS
quickly"
Speaking of the march from Banes,
where he went to receive the munitions
of the Florida expedition, he said:
I'VE had a hard march over the
roads. Engagements with the Span
iards?
No; because there were no Span
iards. My 1000 men are in good condi-
ton, except for the slight fatigue of the
long march. We found food enough,
though the Spaniards are starving. The
patriots are not suffering from the
blockade. They can always get food.
1t is the Spaniards who pay the price
l think the war will be over in a few
months You can beat the Spaniards
easily, but it is very hard to drive
them OUT
Then General Garcia asked Admiral
Sampson, who sat beside him, what
had happened to the other Spanish
ships, the Pelayo and the rest, and
opened his eyes wide with muttered
exclamation of surprise when he heard
that Admiral Camara was still at
home.
AT Holguin. General Garcia said,
there are 10000 Spanish troops, but he
believes the 5000 men he left there will
effectually prevent the army from
reaching Santiago from the Holguin
side.
Captain Chadwick met General Car
cha in General Rabi's camp, IS miles
west oe El MORO. Rabi has about a.
thousand men. General Garcia was ac-
cCmpanied only by his staff, consisting
of Colonel Collaze, chief of staff; Col
orel Valiante and Captain Portuando,
and also by General Lord, Colonel Ma
lanes, Lieutenant Hernandez, Major
Bueno and their aides. Most of them
suffered from sickness. General Garcia
humorously said: LAS bad as are the
roads in Cuba, your roads, Captain
Chadwick, are worse
General Garcia and staff were put
ashore late in the day, after the pre-
lininary details of cooperation be-
tween the Cuban and American troops
had been fully discussed.

WARSHIPS CHRISTENED.
Thirty-fve New Vessels Headed By
the Battleship Maine.

Washington, June 20.-There was
wholesale christening at the navy de-
rartment today, when Secretary Long
supplied rameS for no less than 80 war
craft. All of these were provided for
in the last naval appropriation bill.
First in the list of the big batt.eshiDs
is the Maine, for congress has pro-
vided that that name shall be continued
in the naval list. The other big battle
ST ips viii be called the Missouri and
the Ohio. The first of the torpedo boats
bears the name of the brave young en-
sign, Bagley, who was killed on the
deck of the Winslow. under the guns of
Cardenas the first American naval Of
ficer to lose his life in the war.
Four states have the privilege Of CIV
ing their names to monitors, Arkansas,
Connecticut, Florida and Wyoming. The
names given TO the IS torpedo boat de-
stIoyers are those of Americas famous

EIGHT ARMY CORPS.
Composed of Troops Assigned to the
Philippines.

Washington. June 20.-An additional
army corps, to be known as the Eighth.
is to be created. It will be composed of
the troops assigned to the Philippine
islands and will be in command of Cen
eral Merritt. The creation of the new
corps is by direction of the president and
authority is conferred upon General Mer-
rift to transfer the command of the
corps to the next officer in rank at such
time as he may deem it expedient to do
so as a matter of military administra ton.
in order that he may be left free to de-
vote his attention to important matters
of the government connected with the
Philippine islands. Upon his arrival at
the Philippine islands, general Merritt
will transfer the active command of the
corps to Major General Otis, now his
second in command.
AS military governor of the Philippines
General Merritt will have so many duties
of an administrative character to per-
form that IL would be impracticable for
him to retain the active command of the
troops on the island. He would be- of
course the supreme military authority in
the Philippines, but direct command of
the force there will devolve upon General
Otis.

But the Referee Gave the Decision to

Chicago, June 20-The Lewis-Y ousouf

throttling. two points down. Tim Hogan,
of Chicago, was referee.
When the men entered the ring at .
o'clock, Yousof at once assumed the ag-
gressive. After a struggle OF three
minutes, Lewis being on the pad stomach

gave the match to Lewis. because

of the purse, $3.50, and continue the

the police. During all that time there
was the widest excitement
The men met on the mat again for ex-

MISERY IN PORTO RICO.
Natives In Mood to Drive Out the
Speniards.

New York, June 2O.-The Herald pub
fishes the following special correspond
ence, dated San Juan. Porto Rico, June
8: The armed trans Atlantic steam
ship Alfonso XIII, lies loaded with pro-
visions for Santiago or some other Gu
ban port, but does not seem inclined to
move out. She made a quick run a few
days ago to Mayaguez and Ponce, to
carry provisions to the small garrisons
there.
Provisions are very scarce, and prices
the normal.
In the interior of the island the con-
ditions are still worse. No work is be-
iEg done On the estates. Thousands of
men are unemployed, and hunger and
misery are rife. The local currency is
at a low ebb, the rate of exchange
anything from 10 to AS per cent pre-
MUM on gold value.
Prisoners are working briskly on the
earthWorks, and are repairing and
strengthening the batteries.
The mines at the harbor entrance
have been laid further seaward, cover
ing all the lines the United States feet
took during the bombardment, which
were too close in to have effect on
Moro. which lies on the fiat top of the
cliff above where they were.
The islanders are perfectly quiet;
even politics is not discussed. There
have been many cases of hamstringing
of cattle, so that they have been killed,
and the owners have more flesh on
their hands than they can dispose, and
have to give it away to the poor people
the people who did the mischief, in
fact.
This trick is becoming very common,
and may lead to something more SER
ious when people are starving, as they
sccn vii, he.
The angry feeling against the yam
KEGS is extremely bitter among the
purely Spanish party, but nothing OF
the kind exists among the true island
ers, who appear to be passively await
ing the developments of the war. At
present they are cowed-to use a for
chile eXpression-but If any competent
native leader were to come forward,
they would rise to a man, and make
short work of any representation
short, it is feared, humanely speaking.
The island has now a population of
a million. The purely Spanish element
may count as only one-tenth of TIE
whole.
