there were a great many demands upon
him for interviews and that he had
the pleasant duty of answering TO the
satisfaction of the numerous question
ers a good many pointed inquiries in
relation to annexation. The MOana,
the steamship that carried the good
news, was in bunting on approaching
the harbor and Boys in Blue gossip
was superseded in all quarters by the
more important thing of the confirm
alton, strong and sure, of the hopes
of so many who have worked so hard
and persistently in the direction of the
goal now about to be touched. There
were congratulations and cheerings
and handshakings and settlements of
wagers, more premiums on stocks and
heavy advances in real estate.
1t is the belief of Mr.. Castle that
the new American policy will bring
about in that great country, as well
as in this small group, most astound-
ing and progressive changes. For in
stance, it is now held quite generally
that the United States as a Govern
ment will construct and maintain the
Nicaragua canal. There will be prac-

men in the American army and that
there are in the Spanish force many
boys between the ages of fourteen and
seventeen.
Mr.. Castle says the United States
have been given the best use of the
Islands in the entertainment of troops
here as arranged by the citizens. The
health of the men in transit has been
and will be saved by the opportunity
afforded here of giving them a few
hours ashore Without this halt,
travelling in crowded ships, they would
for the rest of the journey be fine sub
jects for the cruel fevers of the tro-
pics.

Four Men Are KuIed-I5, 900 Men
Have Sailed From Tampa to
Aid Sampson

WASHINGTON, June 10.-The Navy
Department today posted the follow
ing bulletin: "On June 9TH Admiral
Sampson ordered the Marblehead,
Commander McCalla, and the Yankee,
Commander Brownson, to take pos
session of the outer bay of Guanta-
namo. These vessels entered the har-
Dor at daylight on the 7th driving a
Spanish gunboat into the inner har-
Dor, and took possession of the lower
bay, which is now held by the Marble
head"
Dispatches of the 11th say: Six
hundred marines have pitched their
tents among the smoking ruins of the
outer Notifications of Guantanamo and
the Stars and Stripes for the first time
float on Spanish Flagstaff in Cuba
To Captain Clark and the battleship
Oregon belong the honor of accom-
plishing the first successful landing of
the war The forty marines from the
battleship went ashore this morning
and occupied the left entrance of the
bay until the troopship Panther arriv-
ed with 600 marines.
The whole operation of silencing the
guns and landing the forces was as
easy as placing a Sunday Scool pic
mic The Marblehead had, backed by
the Vixen and Dolphin, opened on the
earthworks. The shores to the right of
the entrance were lined with guns and
rifle pits, but the Spaniards stampeded
after firing a few shots.
The Marblehead, Dolphin, Vixen
and two colliers have been off the en-
trance of the harbor for several days
and yesterday morning they sailed in
to the channel. A mile further up
they opened fire, sending fifty shots
at the Notifications on the left. The
hills on the right of the entrance were
deserted. Fhere are no defenses on
the right side of the harbor
No attempt was made to land until
the Oregon steamed in early this
morning Captain Clark Immediately
sent forty marines ashore and twenty
from the Marblehead followed. They
found evidence of a very hasty depart
ure by the Spaniards. Watches ham
mOcks and ammunition were scatter
ed among the earthWOrks and a Span
ish flag was found in one of the rife
pits. The little detachment or ma
rines held the place until the Panther
arrived, when they were recalled and
the work of disembarking began.
Guantanamo is about forty miles
east of Santiago de Cuba, and is
splendid location for a base of supplies

TROOPS ON THE WAY.
Left San Francisco on June IS
and Will Soon Arrive.


The second expedition to Manila,
carrying 4 200 troops, sailed from San
Francisco at 1:3O o'clock p. m. on June
Is. The fleet is made up of four ships;
China (hagship), zealandia, Colon
and Senator.
Assigned to the China, Major-Gen-
eraI Greene's flagship, and the largest,
fastest and finest vessel of the fleet,
says the Chronicle, are the First Regi-
ment Colorado Volunteer Infantry,
1922 men; half battalion of the Eigh-
.teenth United States Infantry, $50 men,
and detachment of United States En-
gineers, twenty men.
The Colon took four companies of
the Twenty-thOrd Infantry and two
companies of the Eighteenth Infantry,
both of the Regular Army, and Bat
terry A of the Utah Artillery. In the
battery were 121 men and in each of
the infantry companies seventy-fve
men besides the officers, making less
than 600 military passengers. The
control of the ship was given to Lieu
tenant-Colonel Clarence NJ Baily of
the Eighteenth Infantry. Lieutenant
Colonel John w. French was in COM
mand of the battalion from the Twen-
ty-third and Captain r. w. Young
commanded the Utah artiIlerymen.
On the Zealandia are the Tenth Penn
syIvania Volunteers and part of Bat
terry B of the Utah Volunteer Artillery.
With the gunners went two Maxim
fighting machines, which, as pre-
cautionary measure, were placed,
ready for action, in the bow of the yes
sci. In all there were $40 privates and
sixty officers on board.
Nebraska Regiment of Volunteers,
numbering 1923 men, under Colonel
Bratt.
A military hospital, with a corps of
four surgeons, three stewards, an act
ing steward and twenty-five privates,
has been established on the China in
connection with about 1000 pounds of
medical supplies and dressings calcu-
lated to last six months. In addition
to these, there were sent aboard by the
Red Cross Society twenty cases con-
tanning medicines, brandy, claret
canned peaches and other things for
patients.

A very pretty wedding ceremony
was performed yesterday morning at

tically two navies-one for the Allan
tic and one for the Pacific. There will
be a quite large standing army. There
will be a reconstructed or reOrganized
state militia under national control
and drilled by educated officers. There
will be expansion and widening in the
industrial world And for another
thing there will be more of President
Mckinley as chief magistrate of
great nation.
Tt is the proposal of the leading
army men and their advisers and con-
fdants to have a standing corps Of
more than 100000 men. The bill re-
Gently enacted placed the figure at
81 900. The need of a large trained
force has been keenly felt. There was
real embarrassment in the fact and
the law that the President could not
handle or use the States militia of the
various commOnwealths without con-
sent of the Governors. This must be
remedied, for the United States has
entered upon a new policy.
Mr. Castle says now that personally
he is of the opinion that the war with
Spain will have ended before this year
is done. When the ultimatum went out
Mr. Castle thought the peace settle
ments would be under way by July 1.
That is still thought by many OBJ
serving and important men in the
States. There is a most striking
thought in the realization of the un-
preparedness of the American Govern
ment when hOstilities opened. A peO-
pie who harbor no idea of fighting till
their liberties are trenched upon or
their sense of right tested were sud
denly called upon to do battle. There
existed no smouldering ambition to
conquer people and acquire territory.
There was no standing army and it
had to be made and has been made
magnificently. Courage and intelli-
gence and purpose have combined to
contrive wonders. But the lesson has
been learned and there will be in the
EQUATION hereafter the factor Of war
footing. One of the men whose COM
mand has the eager and willing ear Of
every .wearer of the blue has said that
had this war been with a certain con-
tfnental power, the foreign govern
ment. being one of famous prepared
ness, would have had an army of in
vasion $50, 900 in number on American
soil. The chief dependence Of the
generals of the United States is upon
the small regular forces.
Cuba now seems we'll in hand, though
there will be much fighting yet in and
around the Pearl of the Antilles. There
remains to dispose of yet the fleet OF
Cervera and the city of Havana. The
feet is being corded and the next
news from the States will tell of ap-
preaching investment of Havana. At
! the capital Of Cuba, Blanco has gather
ed an army of $4,000 of the best sol
diers he can get. He has called forces
from the other cities and the other
! provinces and has fortified Havana
and mined the harbor. His resistance
will be a determined one, but Havana
must succumb as must Santiago and
the whole Of the Island. 1t is said
that in the army Of BIanco the men
average six years younger than the

Speaking Of the war prompts the
reflection that Uncle Sam has been

In the l23 years II his existence he
has waged tive ware, the wal OF the
Revolution, the war of 1912, the war
of the Barbary States, the Mexican

dians were mere incidents. In every
one Of these wars the Stars and

In the same period. or since the be-
ginning Of United States indepen

wars, two Of which, that Of the colon

The Moro Castles.

Readers OF Wal news have probably
been puzzled to understand why so
many Morros are mentioned in the
dispatches. There Is a Moro Castle
at the entrance of the harbor of Ha-
vana, another at the outer point Of
San Juan Baptista, Puerto Rico; an
other Moro Castle at the mouth Of
the harbor OF Santiago de Cuba, md
so On. The word MORO really

montory. Many harbors Of the West
Indies are lapd-locked. With narrow
entrances and expanding waters in
ward, something hike a mans hand

the harbor. In nearly all these cases
one side OF the entrance is high land,
often a lofty rocky cliff, and on these
high lands, fortidcaions have been
erected, and the more pretentious are
called castles, hence we have MORO
Castle which really means the castle

Soon after the United States de-
clared that a state Of war existed be-
tween this country and Spain. tho
President, in accordance with the Act
OF Congress. issued u call for $4,000
volunteers. The superintendent Of
each Stat was male on the basis Of
population, and some States,
Nevada Ter instance, promptly tur-
nished more than it's quota. Now a
second call has been issued by the
President for 1900 men. and though
the superintendent 10 the States un-
der this call has been made it has not
been given to the public.
Under the first call some States
were permitted to furnish n greater
number Of volunteers than they were
entitled to on the basis OF population
Under the second call it Is proposed
by the We: Department reTieedd
the inequality as far as practicable,
therefore,, States which frrnished
more. than their quota under the first
call will be credited with the excess
in the second call.
The President desires that the regi.
ments organized in the States under
the first call and which have not yet
been completed. shall be recruited
up to their full strength before the
organization Of new regiments is at
tempted Under the second call. II
this policy ia carried into effect by
the War Department the volunteer
regiments which comprise only five
or elk hundred men will have to be
filled from the States in which those
regiments were organized or by vol
unteen from other States before the
organization OF new regiments will
be authorized under the second call.
Some Of the Infantry regiments have
less than GOO men. though they are
composed OF a dozen companies and
have as many commissioned officers as
a fall regiment Of twice that number
States; therefore, which furnish
five or six regiments Of $50 or Coo
men each, will have RS many com,
missiuned officers as other States
whose regiments are filed to the
maximum OF 1910 men each. This
is unfair and to prevent it regiments
under the first call have to he filled
to tho maximum strength before new
resimepts from the same State are
mustered into the service.-Journal
