THE INSURGENT ARMY
will. Secretary Sherman Thinks. Do Most Of
the Fighting in Cuqa for the Present.

Washington, April 2i.-Secretary
Sherman said. today. that it was his
expectation that for the present and
the immediate future the inSurgent
army would do the greater part Of the
fighting in Cuba. He added the state
ment that there was no intention of
taking the militiamen and new recruits
into Cuba until thoroughly Injured to
and that probably the regulars also
would be held in this country until
later in the season. The secretary ex-
pressed the opinion that Admiral
SIMPSONS fleet would take the first OPP
portunty to form a junction with
Gomez army and that there would be
henceforth perfect cooperation be-
tween these two organizations in con-
Quoting the war against the common
enemy. The insurgents are the best
for this service for the present" said
the secretary and they can be trusted
to do Jealous work when well armed
and we'll clothed He said 1T was his
understanding that the government
would furnish the arms and munitions
of war to fit out several regiments in
good shape and to put the entire Cuban
army in good fighting trim. He did
not discuss the reports that he would
resign from the cabinet shortly.

In Readiness to Answer the Presidents Call

Concord. n. H.. April 23.-New Hamp-

whatever quota of men may be neces

There is considerable activity at the
office Of Adjt. Gen. Aylng at the State
House. This morning Gov. RamsdelI
was present early. and had a consulta-

matter Of supplies and equipment for
the men, and later he was in conSulta-

the National Guard concerning what is
best to be done in the present crisis.
Tenders Of service to the Governor
are now pouring in by every mail, and
the list has now reached large propor>

military stores, returned, last night,
well satisfied with his days work He

a few days; but these are of minor i'm

HAVANA'S GUNS
Endeavored to Reach the United

Damage is Done.

From London comes the news, which
1t is said was cabled there form Ha-
vana, that the bombardment of the
shore batteries of the city has been be-

impossible to verify the report here.
Capt. Forsythe. commanding at the
naval station here, has received two
naval cipher messages. He says he
has no confirmation of the report, but
added it would not be surprising if
London should get such news as this
ny way of the French West Indies
cables. Capt. Forsythe added that he
had ordered stopped all cipher mes
3aSes between Key West and Havana.
He said. laughingly, that While he
did not know the bombardment had
been begun, it was possible some ship
might have been target firing at
mark in line With MORO Castle, ana
might accidentally have oVershot the
mark.

afterWard the United States fleet. part
of which had moved during the night

came, apparently. from the big krupp

There was no sign of alarm anywhere.
The Spaniards are confident that Ha-
Vana is prepared for any eventuality,
and IN the effectiveness of their heavy
artillery. They express themselves as
anxious to measure arms with the in
vaders," and there was no expression
of doubt as to the result.
Many of the stores are closed as
their owners and employers are volun-
teers and have therefore been called to
the defence of the city.
The civil and military authorities of
Havana held consultation at the pal

the Spaniards has been taken to guard
against night surprise, and to resist
an attack if the bombardment is COM
