that they may be ordered.
The Red Cross Society gave the new arri-
walls the same reception that has greeted All
the visiting soldiers. They were given Z
hearty breakfast. and fruits and flowers in
abundance were distributed before the men
started on the long march to Camp Merritt.
They were given very enthusiastic recep-
ton by the thousands Of people who gather
ed on the line of march to witness the
parade. At Camp Merritt the men were
welcomed by the thousands Of men camped
there. 1t will take some time to arrange
their camping quarters, but this will be ac-
complished before night, and the Iowans

IN THE CABINET
The Advance on Cuba and Hevenue
Measures Discussed

WASHINGTON, June 10.-All Of the
members of the Cabinet were present today
including Secretary Long, who has been
obliged to make use of crutches to savo
his lame ankle. The rumor that several
Spanish warships are lying of the coast
of Cuba in wait for our transports, hav-
ing on board the army intended for San
tiago, is not credited by members of the
administration. Nevertheless, the govern
men will run no risks of possible meet
ing with the Spanish squadron under such
adverse conditions, and the transports will
not be permitted to move until our fleet Is
prepared to make the trip safe from at
tack by any naval force that the Span
iards can bring against them. 1t is expect
ed that within the next two or three days
the army expedition will move with all
possible haste from Key West on Cuba.
The proposed bond issue under the new
Revenue bill was discussed at today'S
meeting, and Secretary Cages plan of dis
tribution was approved. Under the terms
of the bill as it passed the House yester-
day, the Secretary is required to allot the
bonds to those making application therefor
in sums of 500 and upwards, the smaller
amounts asked for to be allotted first. It
is expected that the first issue of 5000, ,000,-
900 will be largely over-subscribed. The
general circular of instructions to the
public will be issued by the Treasury De-
partment almost simultaneously with the
signing of the act by the President, and
every available means will be urged
through the postoff1ces, banks, express
offices, etc., of the country to place very
large proportion of the issue among peo-
pie of small means.
The question of a customs tariff and O
system of internal revenue taxation for
the Philippines also were under discus
sion at the Cabinet meeting. The present
schedule of customs duty until recently
enforced by Spain probably will be con-
tinued for the present, at least, but the
present burdensome system of internal
revenue taxation will be done away with
and something more in line with our laws
substituted therefor. 1t Is believed that
the President now has the whole matter
before him and it is expected he will take
action thereon within the next few days.
AS the collection of these revenues will be
delegated to the army of occupation, full
instructions will be sent very soon to Gen.
eral Merritt.

GOOD REASON GIVEN
For Making Wolseley Governor Gen.
eral Of Canada

NEW YORK, June 10.--A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
The British government has had unusual
trouble in filling the vacancy for the Vice
Royalty of Canada. Numerous candidates
for the succession have been mentioned,
but no appointment has been made. The
good relations now existing between Eng
| land and America make 1t important that
| the new Governor-General of Canada
should be an official of unique reputation.
so as to impress the Imagination of the
whole English-speaking race in America.
The appointment has not been officially an
nounced, but it is generally believed in the
War Office that Lord Wolseley is the man
who has been selected for this important
post.
Nothing has yet appeared in print about
1t, but it may be stated with the utmost
| confidence that the overtures have been
made to him.
The crown is not in the habit of Offering
| appointments for high places until the
willingness of those proposed for prefer
ment to accept honors is ascertained. There
is adequate reason to believe that Lord
Wolseley has been approached and asked
whether he will accept the position of Gov
ernor-G General of Canada, and that he is
now considering the expediency of ac-
cepting it. He now occupies the office of
Commander-in-Chief of the army and IS
the man best fitted by experience and mil
itary capacity for retaining 1t. He would
also be a candidate for Governor-General
of Canada of exceptional prestige and au-
thority, and would be welcomed both In
the Dominion and the United States as
brilliant successor to the long line of IL
lustrious Vceroys.
His appointment as Governor-General
would command the attention of Canada
and America and would be Of good utility
in promoting good relations on each side
of the border. At the same time it would
create a vacancy in the office of Command
er-in-Chief, which the friends of Lord
Roberts would like their special favorite
to fill Lord Wolseley is q soldier and
diplomatist equal to any work which he
may be called upon to perform, but Lord
Roberts is soldier only, and very ambi-
tious one.
Lord Wolseley is now within his 66th
year. If he decides to accept the offer
which has undoubtedly been made, he will
retire from the army and devote the re-
mainder of his life to official work al Gov
ernor-General. and to the completion of
the memoirs which he has long desired to
write

Epidemic

WASHINGTON, June 1o.-There is some
apprehension here over the outbreak of
seven cases of yellow fever at McHenry.
Miss, and steps have been taken not only
to check the spread Of the fever from Nc
Henry, but to prevent any possibility Of an
epidemic in the South. Surgeon-General
Wyman of the Marine Hospital service has
received a dispatch from Surgeon Murray
of that service, confirming the Associated
Press report. DR.. R. G.. Geddings of the
Marine Hospital service, now stationed at
Tampa, was ordered today to proceed d.
rectly to Camp McHenry and take charge
of Camp Fountainebleu, the yellow fever
camp put in operation during the fever last
year. and which is now in readiness for the
present cases. Surgeon Murray telegraphed
that he had gone to McHenry and confirmed
the diagnosis made by the States authori-
ties. The town is now guarded, and the
Marine Hospital Surgeon Carter is already
there with Surgeon Murray, and the Fed
eral and State authorities are cooperating.

Alliance Talk

LONDON, June 10.-The Westminster
Gazette this afternoon, commenting upon
the American suggestion that the Liberals
are hostile to the proposed Anglo-Ameri-
can understanding says:
1.-The Liberal party desires nothing more
than to draw closer the bonds with the
United States. The leaders draw attention
to points needing careful handling, be-
cause, judging from the present conduct
of foreign affairs, they have grounds for
fearing that the best policy may be
wrecked by lack of wisdom and persever-
ance. 1t we plead for care and caution in
dealing with the United States 1t is be-
cause we are anxious to save that cause
from the fickleness of the present gov
ernment"

MIGHT SCARE SPAIN
An English Suggestion Of War
Measure

LONDON, June 10.-The st. James Ga
zette this afternoon publishes long edi-
torial pointing out the hopelessness of any
further Spanish resistance, and suggests the
Americans seek a settlement of the Cuban
question in Spain 1t says:
'"There is no need of an invasion, but the
menace of q strong armament which the
Spanish navy could not drive of on the
coast would produce tremendous effect
and there are numerous unfortifed an
chorages where the Americans could recoal
with leisure.
"Of course there are powers in Europe
who would witness the operation with
great disgust. but If the Americans are
going to be frightened by the vague alb
straction called Europe they must be very
timid Let them consult the Sultan and
remember that England is their Russia for
the time being"

in outlying islands that are requisite for the
development Of national strength and
growth"
His sentiments were heartily applauded.
