PROPOSED PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.

NEW YORK, April 24-The Herald to-
morrow will say:
Maj. Lowell II. Jerome. who is a personal
friend of President Mckinley. brought
PACK an interesting suggestion from Wash
ington yesterday In regard to the plan of
campaign in Cuba. Maj. Jerome spent sew
erai days in Washington last week. and
saw the president and his advisers.
The plan which was being discussed"
Said MAJ. Jerome. was not an invasion OF
Cuaa by large military force. but the
capture or some port in which n garrison
might be placed sufficiently large to hold
IL against the Spaniards
Inc sending of large force to Cuba Is
regarded as difficult problem In the
hrst place II would not be easy to trans
port them. and in the second place II
would not be easy to land them under the
enemy's FIRE
if port like Matanzas for instance
should be taken. arms and ammunition
could be furnished 10 the insurgents. and
food in unlimited quantities could be land
ed and distributed 10 them under cover OF
our guns. BY this means according 10 the
talk in Washington. the sufferings of the
reconcentrados could be relieved. while the
spanish. owing 10 the blockade would
soon ne without provisions and Havana
would be compelled 10 surrender

Sympathetic People Who Report Lack of Attention to the Sick to Be Referred Else
 where.

Alleged sympathetic people who sup posedly have the interests of the boys in blue at heart have caused no end of an noyance and trouble to the hospital vis- iting committee of the Red Cross Society by repeatedly reporting instances of lack of attention shown the soldiers by their own surgeons and nurses. Believing some foundation to exist for the continued complaints, the ladies composing the committee have devoted time and labor in Investigating, with the result that no truth in the stories can be found.
 These continued reports have led Mrs. John F. Merrill, president of the local so- ciety, to write a personal letter to the commanders of the various regiments sta toned in this city, in which she says;
 "In view of the many exaggerated re-
 ports brought to our society and pub lshed in the newspapers in regard to the inattention of the officers and medical
 men to sick soldiers in camp, it has au- thorized the publication of a letter in the daily papers to the effect that the society will in future pay no attention to indi- vidual criticisms and will simply refer persons bringing such reports to the commanding officers of the regiment. Our visiting committee will hereafter visit the regimental hospital every other day, but will furnish requisition papers, which, In case of emergency, if mailed to l6 Post street, will be honored.

 ''Is this action binding on me?" asked the Registrar. 'Am 1 to swear in all the men you have selected, whether they are on the assessment roll or not?" "As l said before,' replied Creswell, you.
