An Ohio man who is very close 3 to the administration said to- : 2 night that the President had 1. made up his mind that the in : dependence of Cuba is ineyi- table. No one could be surprised . to see a demand for indemnity for the blowing up of the Maine : . and the death of the American , sailors accompanied bya demand for the immediate ending of the ; , war. The Herald has repeatedly ] , for a week foreshadowed this ] , probable action and shown that : the most likely developments of $ the situation would be the treat : ment of the Maine disaster and : the insurrection in Cuba as kin : } dred subjects. can also say on authority $ that the recognition of the inde- 2 pendence of Cuba is impending. $ Matters are very rapidly taking 5 shape in the public mind. The President will act very speedily s after, the receipt of the report of the Court of Inquiry, and the : public will at once be taken into 2 his confidence. He is shaping : his plans so that he will have a 2 united Congress behind him, just s as he had on the bill for the na- { tional defense.

there is no occasion for hurry in this
matter until the full draft called fol
in the first proclamation has been Sc
cured. 1t IS further stated that the
decision to issue the additional call
for volunteers was not reached until
the cabinet meeting yesterday. The
call, it is supposed here, indicates a
determination to press the campaign

CHEAP MEXICAN DOLLARS.
How Uncle: Sam Will Make Money in the
Philippines.

philippines.
New York, May 27.~-Thc Press
says: One Of the most interesting
preparations Of the outfitting Of the
Manila expedition has just been an
nounced. The government has pur-
chased 250, 900 Mexican silver dollars,
which Gen. Merritt will take along
to defray the expenses Of the eXpe-
dition. This amount is not expected
to be enough, but more will be sent
from time to time. BY purchasing
Mexican dollars a great saving is
made. 1t is possible to obtain MeXi-
can dollars at 4G cents each. In
other words, Uuclc Sam will be able
to buy 250,OO0 Mexican dollars for
SIG, 900, They were bought in san
Francisco. In the Philippines a
Mexican dollar is worth more than
an American dollar, SO the expense
Of Gen. Mcrritt's expedition outfit, if
it once lands in Manila, will be less
than one-half it would be otherwise.
AS to the soldiers, they will fare cX-
cellcntly under this arrangement. for
they Will of course be paid according
to law in American money, The pay
master will give each soldier two
Mexican dollars for each American
dollar due him on pay day.
Eight thousand cork helmets have
been sent from Philadelphia hat de-
pots to San Francisco. They are for
the Philippine expedition, The de-
pot quartcrmaster has opened bids
for 10, 900 additional helmets. The
helmets are to be made Of cork, which.
renders them light and waterproof.
The firm Of Charles Lcvy's Sons was
the lowest bidder, Offering to furnish
the 10000 at ST. apiece, are to de-
liver them at the rate Of 1000 o
week.
The contract will be awarded to
this firm if the uuartcrmastcr does
not succeed in making cheaper az
rangcmcnts with q Chinese firm in
Hong Kong.

Porto Rico TO BE Taken

Chicago, May 25.-A special to the
Rico is to be taken. The president
has decided that Sampson shall im-
mcdiatcly move on that island, while
Schlcy guards Ceryera. At least
20, 900 troops will be sent and anoth-
er army is at the same time to enter
Cuba, transports now being ready.
From Il cabinet officer it is learned
that the haste in ordering the troops
and ships to Porto Rico is owing to
the fact that the president has
learned that the powers are prepar-
ing to ask that Spain be permitted to
Withdraw from Cuba and allow peace
to be declared. This intimation
came direct from Europe. The pres
ident wants to be able to say: "Yes,
Spain may withdraw. That's why
we made war. But we will hold
Porto Rico and the Philippines"
Without a dissenting voice the
cabinet decided that the greatest
possible haste should be made in the
invasion. Gen. Miles reported that
Spain now has 10, 900 troops in Porto
| Rico and he thought that the United
States should send at least 10000
troops there.
The secretary Of war had a confer
cncc with the president and it was
decided that Sampson should be sent
straight back to San Juan. The
president feared that when Spain
lost her fleet she would sue for peace
before the United States had the
island. lie said it would be mucI
better to have Porto Rico when ne.

Plan That E'sli'icd.

New York, May 25.-A special to
the World from Quebec snrs: Senior
Polo, before sailing from Quebec for
Europe, contlcd to a friend the or
igiIa} intentions Of Spain's squad
ron. 1t appears that the Spanish
fleet, being acknowledged unable to
meet the American vessels, was to
avoid it and cause all the damage it
could to the American coast. Among
other places to be bombarded was
Portland, and an attempt was to be
made to blow up a powder mill near
that place. Scnor Polo succeeded in
making satisfactory arrangements
for the coalng Of the fleet, but the
agreement WAS broken owing to
American influence in the coal CON
Germ and the news Of this fact drove
the Spanjards from their original in
tcntion Of touching at Cape Breton
and made them take refuge at Santi-
ago dc Cuba. Since then the Span
ish fleet has left on on its journey to
Cadiz. Spain's tactics will be to
trust to fever and the terrible cX-
pcnsc daily incurred by the Amcri-
can government, and she will not
risk IL repetition of the Manila dis
aster. -..... ..=

said, ":Spain will abandon Cuba,
