Mustn't HURRY ARMY TO CUBA.
Gen. Coils Has a Talk With the
President on the Subject.

Gen. Coils Has Talk With the
President on the Subject.
New York, May pa special to the
World from Washington says: "Gen. C.
H. T. Coils of New York called at the ex-
ecutive mansion and held a long conversa-
ton with the President. His visit, 1t is
believed. was in connection with the New
taken into the army under the second call.
Gen. Coils declines to discuss this matter.
THE people of the United States should
not be impatient about invading Cuba"
said Gen. Coils. 1--WE are gaining by 1t
at ratio of 4 to !, as compared with
Spain. The fact that our volunteer army
is deficient in equipment cannot be denied.
While our troops are in camp obtaining
prociency in the school of the soldier the
Spanish force in Cuba is battling with fe-
yer and other diseases incident 10 the rainy
season. Expressing my opinion TO the
President that we would have at least so
per cent. more volunteers than is absolute
ly necessary for the conduct of the war,
owing to the moral effect it would have
upon Spain, the President coucurred in
this l believe it is much better to keep
volunteers in camp for four or FIVE months
than in the end TO be compelled to resort to
conscription to fill the ranks
II was in Spain about seven weeks ago
and the artillery and infantry I saw were
much superior to our national guard. The
men are in better condition, and show the
effects of training and discipline: What
we need is trained soldiers. Our camps of
concentration are nothing more than
camps of instruction"

PORTO RIcANs FEAR ATTACK.
Food Scarce and Dear and Poor Per-
sons Suffering Hunger.

Copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press.
81. Thomas, d. w. /, May 22.-The days
following the bombardment Of Porto Rico's
capital by Admiral sampsons fleet have
been trying indeed for the inhabitants Of
the Spanish island.
Business Is dead, there is no movement
of vessels, and san Juan and coast towns
await with fear and trepldation a recon-
mencemont of hostiities Many people are
leaving.
The ridiculous story that Admiral
Sampson's fleet approached San Juan on
the morning OF the 18th showing the Span
ish flag, and that crowds Of enthusiastic
Porto Ricans crowded the city walls TO
cheer the fleet from the mother country, is
believed in the island, aud the coast patrols
fear a repetition Of the same trick.
But the Porto Rleans are thoroughly IA
miliar with one American ship and that Is
the Yale. This big liner has been doing
patrol duty around Porto Rico for some
weeks. Whenever she Is sighted the
troops are ordered out, guns are trained.
the Red Cross prepares for emergencies,
ana this vigilance and preparation are
maintained till the Yale disappears.
1t is reported from the western center
of the island that while small fruits and
certain vegetables are plentiful the people
have not the money wherewith to pay the
very small prices that are asked for them,
and that many laborers and farmers are
without work and suffering hunger. and
that the bread sold Is bad and high In
price
If there are no immediate warlilSe steps
taken against Porto Rico the prevailing
perturbation will soon cease and confidence
win be partially restored. But Porto Rico
is already threatened with disorders aris-
ing among the people themselves and the
growing scarcity of food If the blockade Is
maintained, viii only add 10 this danger

CONTROL OF THE PHILIPPINES.
No Interference by Any European
Power Threatened.


Berlin, May 2S.-An article in the Post
says: 1T is declared semi-ofTicially that
the recent rumors as to the transfer of the
Philippine Islands to France or Germany
or to their partition among the European
powers with interests in the far east, have
no foundation whatever.
America is not yet in possession it is
true, and it is quite possible she may new
er occupy them. But any laying of hands
on the islands at present would be a hos
tile act against America; nor would it be
tolerated by the other European powers
having interests there"
This utterance may be taken as explicit
proof that the continental powers have
come to an agreement to await further ac-
ton by America.
