Washington, April 1S.-Representn-

House committee on military affairs,
will tomorrow introduce an admins
tration bill, authorizing the President
to issue a call for volunteers to the
number of 10000 or 10000 men. 1t will
be considered immediately by the COM

ly as possible, and will take effect i'm

one being the constitutional Inhibition

country, while volunteers so called for
can be ordered anywhere. 1t Is likely
thai II the situation develops into such
grave proportions rs Is now expected a
second call for 100000 volunteers will

NO ISSUE OF BONDS.
WILL NOT BE NECESSARY.
Senator Teller Says Silver Men WIN Not
Consent to 1.-THE Government Can
Raise Enough by Internal Taxes and
Issue of Treasury Notes.

New York, April 1S.-The Worlds
correspondent telegraphs: "There will
be no issue of bonds for war purposes
until every other available means Of
raising revenue is exhausted" said
Senator Henry NJ. Teller, the leading
silver man of the United States SEN
ute this evening. 1--WE do not antici-
pate such very long war, unless we
get Into complications with some 9TH
er powers, but, speaking for myself,
do not see any necessity of issuing
bonds Mt all. Not even the most en-
thusiastic gold man Of this administra-
zion thinks seriously of issuing gold
bonds, for that would be impossible.
Under no possible circumstances would
that sort of thing be agreed to-"
The silver men who have given this
subject careful consideration, are un-
able to see why there should be any
Issue at all, and in light of their pre-
ent Information l am pretty sure 1t
would be safe to predict that they
would never give their consent.
First thing that would be done
would be a revision Of the tariff laws
and the imposition. of additional inter-
nal revenue taxes for war purposes. In
times of war people will not object to
that, but they would endure the bur-
dens under such circumstances with
out complaining.
I'VE should put additional tax of 81
on beer and tax of ten cents a pound
tsn tea and three or four cents n pound
OF coffee. We could impose tax In
conformity with the recent decision of
;he Supreme Court and place n tax on
bank checks and deeds and negotiable
Instruments. Through this plan, cx-
tended as the exigencies of the occa-
sion require, 1t would be an easy
matter to raise S15O.0O0,0OO year.
IF this should not be sufficient to
prosecute the war and keep up the
revenues, there would still be no use of
Issuing bonds and | am sure the prop
osltion would be objected to. Bonds
carry interest. and the debt could be
met with non-interest bearing obli-
cations
"Sllver men would favor the issue of
treasury certificates. redeemable in
coin at the pleasure of the government.
These would be an obligation, just as
bonds would be, they would not draw
interest and the government could float
;hem just rs easily and get all the
money II needs. If issued in denomi-
nations small enough. these certificates
would circulate as money. OF course
u would initiate the currency system
somewhat, but the country could stand
II without harm. They would not he
nearly so heavy burden upon the
people as bonds"

Harder Times In Cuba Now.

Havana. April 17.-Advices received
Acre from Mantanzas say there was
much alarm in the city yesterday. ow-

stores We're all closed and the bakers
kere not working. There was no bread
IN town. In addition there was scare
ity of other food of all descriptions.
This aroused the people, and groups of
the inhabitants paradcd the streets
shouting against .hc tax. The police
eventually interfered. charged the riot.
crs and made several arrests among
the merchants of the town.
In Havana the value of Spanish mon

the state Of uncertainty causes deprcs-
sion among all classes Everybody
here seems eager for a quick solution

of Spain relinquish Its authority and
government in the island of Cuba ant
to withdraw its land and naval force.
from Cuba and Cuban waters, and di
recting the President of the United
States to carry these resolutions into
effect.
Whereas, The abhorrent condi-
tions whach have existed for more
than three years In the island of
Cuba, so near our own borders,
have shocked the moral sense of
the people of the United States,
have been a disgrace to Christian
civilization, eliminating, as they

Congress was invited; therefore,
Resolved. by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Con-
gress assembled:
First-that the people of the is
land of Cuba are. and of right
ought 10 be. free and independent.
Second-That 1t is the duty of the
United States to demand. and the
government of the United States
does hereby demand. that the gov

In the island of Cuba and with
draw its land and naval forces

Third-That the President of the

directed and empowered to use the
entire land and naval forces Of the
United States and TO call into the
actual service of the United States

FourtlI-That the United States
hereby disclaims any disposition
or intention to exercise sovereignty,
jurisdiction or control over said
island except for the paciiication
thereof. and asserts its determina-
ton when that is accomplished to
leave the government and control
of the island TO Its people.

TROOPS MOBILIZED.
ARE ORDERED 70 THE SOUTH.
Entire United States Army Will Soon Bs
Under Way to Points Convenient to
Cuh.

Washington, April 15.-Decidedly the
most warlike step taken by the depart
ment for the possibility of an encounter
with Spain, was inaugurated to-day
when orders were issued for the concen-
tration at four points in the South of
SIX regiments Of cavalry. thirty-two
regiments Of infantry and the light bat
teries of five regiments of artillery. At
Chickamauga there will be six regi-
ments of cavalry and the light batteries
OF five regiments of artillery; at New
Orleans eight regiments of infantry; at
tampa seven regiments Of infantry and
at Mobile sevent regiments of infantry.
Since the Civil War no such proportion
OF the army has been mobIlized, and
the movement itself is the best EVIL
dence Of the gravity of the situation
as looked upon by the President and
his advisers.
The determination to rendezvous the
troops In the South, where they can
be acclimated to the conditions Of a
more tropical climate. has been under
consideration by the President and his
Cabinet for some time. II was not un-
til to-day, however, that the President,
In view Of the enormous expense which
VIII be entailed, felt justified In taking
this step.
When Secretary Alger returned from
the Cabinet meeting he at once called
Into conference General Miles and Ad-
jutant General Corbin, md acquainted
them with the result of the Cabinets
deliberations. There We're hurried
consultations. in which the quarter
master general, who has charge of the
transportation of troops, the commits
sary general, who looks after their
subsistence, and representatives In
Washington of the various railroads
running to the South, participated.
The orders, as finally given, contem-
plate the movements of troops to the
places indicated. as follows:
To Chickamauga battlefield: The
First, Second, Third, Sixth, Ninth
and Tenth regiments of cavalry and
the light batteries of five regiments of
artillery.
To New Orleans: The First, Seventh,
Eighth, Twelfth, Sixteenth, Eigh-
teenth, Twenty-third and Twenty
fourth regiments of infantry.
To Mobile: The Second Third,
Tenth, Eleventh, Nineteenth, Twen-
tieth, and Twenty-sccond regiments of
infantry.
To Tampa: The Fourth, Fifth, Sixth,
Ninth, Thirteenth. Seventeenth, Twen-
ty-first regiments of infantry.
The heavy batteries OF artillery In
each of the five regiments mentioned
will remain at their present posts. The
two new regiments of artillery nu-
thorlzed by Congress have not been
recruited to their full strength, and in
addition, are not well equipped with
horses and other necessary requisites
for service, and, therefore, are not in
cluded in to-day's orders. The depart
ment has so distributed the twenty-five
regiments of Infantry at convenient
places on the Gulf that they will be ac-
cessible for transportation to Cuba.
Proposals have been invited from
steamship companies for chartcring
vessels TO the government for this
work.
