The important event in the war de-
partment was the decision to enlist only
national guardsmen under the first call
for troops. which will be very gratifying
to militia men.
Some idea of the cost of transporting
troops may be formed from the fact
that 1t was necessary to allot 81 900, 900
to-day TO defray the expenses of the
movements already ordered. Reports
from all over the country this morning
indicated that the movements were go-
ing on with the most gratifying celer-
ity. picturesque condition of warlike

does not propose to ignore any of the

The authoritative statement was
made at the war department to-day
that on the first call for troops only
the National Guard would be given an
opportunity to volunteer for service in
war. This statement is in accordance
with those made by Secretary Alger to
the National Guardsmen who called on
him at the war department on Satur-
day, when the modified Hull bill for
the expansion of the army was under
consideration. Secretary Alger thinks
that such a course is in keeping with

step of turning the joint resolution into
a statute.
The first session of the cabinet meet
ing in anticipation of the reception of
the resolution was devoted largely to
questions of finance and military policy,
as well as to the framing of the ulti-
matum itself.
So far as can be gathered the impor-
tant point at issue in regard to the ul-
timatum was the question of time to be
allowed for a response on the part of
spain. The steady progress of military
ana naval preparations indicated the
conviction on the part of the admins
tration that a peaceful solution of ex-
isting difficulties is not probable. As
to the course of events i'm the im,medi-
ate future. the only prediction that can
be made is one based on precedents
According to these. Minister woodford
Will notify the Spanish government of
the action of the government of the

answer be unsatisfactory, as is ex-
pected, the next step would be for him
to ask for his passports and leave Ma
drid. That would be followed instantly
by the withdrawal from Washington of
Senior Polo, the Spanish minister. At
this point ii can be stated that the
state department officials are confident
that the Spanish government will so
shape every phase of the negotiations
as to oblige us to take the initiative at
every point. After the withdrawal of
the ministers, and assuming that Spain
does not back down. will follow actual
war, but whether or not the first overt
act would be preceded by formal dec
laration of war, which would insure the
naturalization of the powers,
or whether the North Atlantic squadron
will make it's appearance off Havana
as beginning, cannot be predicted. In
this connection IL may be stated that
the army and navy experts are begin
ming to take a less hopeful view of an
early and quick campaign than they
entertained a short time ago.

weeks as the probable length of hostil-

pressure is brought to bear a war may

The New York Journal says Miss
Helen Gould, who gave 100000 to
the government on the outbreak Of
Che war, and who has been minister
ing angel to the soldiers since, has
just authorized the National Relief
Association to draw upon herfor relief
work among the soldiers to the amount
Of $25, 1000. Miss Gould is typical
American girl, whose habit is to "do
good by stealth, ard blush to find it
fame" She was reluctant to have
her generosity known, in this case as
in others. This desire to escape
notoriety is in itself commendable,
but il is well that the public should
know Of such deeds. They set a
needed example in world in which
no good example can be spared. They
may prompt others to similar generos
ity. Miss Gould is doubly useful
first to the soldiers, whose suferings
she relieves, and next to the commu-
nifty, whose conscience she stirs.
