FIRST U. S. VOLUNTEERS.
More Than Fourteen Hundred Men
Already Enrolled.

The Hull volunteer army bin gives the
President authority TO call on she Sec
retary Of War 10 organize any companies,
troops. battalions or regiments, possess
ing special qualifications from the ma
ton at large and under rules and regula-
tions that may be prescribed by the Sec
retary of War This means that the
President may cause to be recruited and
organized such companies. troops, bat
talions or regiments independent of any
State militia National Guard, or volun-
teer organization that may then be in
existence
Under this authority a regiment is be-
ing formed in this city with its head
quarters al No. 512 Eighth Street north
west. The plan Of organization is to get
together as many men as possible who
have a desire TO enlist in the United
States volunteer army and to form
themselves into companies and battalions
as soon as possible, and before mastering
them in the service of the United States.
After a sufficient number Of men have
siguified their intention Of joining with
this command an officer OF the regular
army viii be appointed to muster into
the regular service the officers, who will
in turn open recruiting offices in differ
ent sections of the city and proceed to
enlist the men. Fiey such Offices besides
the one on Eighth street viii be estab-
lished TO enable the promoters of the
scheme 10 recruit their men more quick
ly surgeon with the rank of captain
and two assistant surgeons, ranked as
first lieutenants have been selected. and
one Of these Will spend an hour each day
at every one OF the recruiting stations to
examine every man that may be enlisted
there.
After passing his physical examination
the newly made soldiers will be sent 20
Fort Myer. where the headquarters of
the regiment are to be established, and
receive his equipments and his primary
instructions in the art of war.
There were fourteen hundred men en-
rolled up TO last night. which is nearly
enough. a regiment is composed OF
twelve companies numbering twelve hun
dred and forty-six officers and men. The
number enrolled in this new command
while it exceeds the quota allowed, will
he greatly reduced by the dropping of
those members who fail 10 pass their
physical examinations.
The officers who have been selected to
command this organization are for the
most part men who have seen actual ser
vice in the regular army. Some Of them
have held commissions, and have served
the Government from Ten TO twenty
years. The officer who will command
the regiment has held a commission in
the Army for the last twenty years and
has participated in ali Of the Indian wars
from oregon to Arizona.
He has assured the authorities that he

equipped command in the field in fifty

The stock market yesterday was the
dullest seen for a long time The fluc-
tuations were narrow but prices were well
held and the undertone was strong. The
indisposition to make contracts on either
side is quite natural in view of the sus-
pense that must continue for some time
as to the movements of the Spanish fleets.
There is undoubtedly some fear in or
binary peoples minds that the fleet may
do some damage and there is every rea-
son to believe that this fear has some
foundation. The fleet is not coming to
this side for fun If it is coming, and there
is reason to believe that 1t is. The Navy
Department is considering this fleet very
seriously and does not for a minute throw
it aside as a matter of no moment. 1t is
probable of course that no great city viii
suffer any great damage, but there is
certainly the chance that the fleet will do
enough to thoroughly frighten the people
that have been talking peace for so long
and then hesitancy and slowness. There
is in reality d fairly strong public senti-
ment that it would do the country as
much good as harm if this fleet could
shell one of the big cities for a few mil
lion dollars damage to wake up these
very peace people to the fact that there
is really a war to be ought that should
be fought hard and quick on the part of
this country. The general situation Is un-
changed as to its effect on the market
for any radical movement. There has
been nothing radical in the war and some
thing decisive is required, it is thought,
TO make the market interesting. There
is a general impression that the market
will go up on its next move if the news
of the war is good or in other words that
the panic on the mere fact of war will
never come.

IN HOT PURSUIT.
An American Cruiser Chases Il Span
ish Steamer.

Kingston Jamaica April 26.-The Span
ish steamer Telesfora, bound from Cal
weston for Manchester, with a cargo of
grain and cotton, had a narrow escape
from being captured today by an Ameri-
can cruiser
When the Spaniard was first seen she
was some distance out at sea, with the
American in pursuit of her. The Teles-
fera was apparently carrying every pound
of steam her boilers would stand but the
cruiser was rapidly overhauling her
It was evident that the Spanish steam
er was doing her best to get into British
waters where the cruiser could not
touch her, and in this she was successful,
getting within the three mile limit before
her pursuer could come within range to
compel her to heave TO. The Telesfera Is
now anchored in the harbor here.
