10000 TROOPS FOR CUBA.
10000 u. $. Regulars and $4,000 Volun-
teers to be Landed at Once.

teers to be Landed at Once
Washington: Gen. Miles says posi-
lively that he will have $4,000 troops
in Cuba within 10 days This army OF
invasion will consist of 10000 soldiers
of the regular u. s. army and $4,000 of
the volunteers being mustered in from
the several states.
President Mckinley SecretariesAlger
and Long and their advisers have be-
come convinced that this nation must
now take aggressive action all along
the line. The bugbear of the yellow
fever scourge is to be ignored and the
Spaniards are to be elected from Cuba
before midsummer, if American sol
diers can drive them out. Next week
the permanent army of occupation will
be established in Cuba and volunteer
regiments will be hurrying forward to
reinforce it from nearly every state
east of the Rocky mountains. BY the
same time the volunteers and regulars
west of the great divide will be en-
parked on transports and fairly started
on their voyage of $500 miles to estab-
lish American provisional government
in the Philippines.
The first division of regulars, aggre-
5000 men, and regiment of Cubans
which has been organized, armed and
drilled at Key West, will be landed in
Cuba as speedily as they can be trans
ported to a point within 300 miles Of
the gulf coast cities. This force will
at once establish an entrenched camp,
fully fortified, to be used as the base
of operations for the land attack on
Havana. The transport vessels, as
rapidly as they are emptied, will hurry
back TO be refilled with volunteer reg
iments ordered as achievements to
the regulars, the latter beginning act
i've operations in the field as soon as
they are relieved of the duty of holding
the established base.
Within 10 days after the first landing
it is expected that the transports will
complete third round trip, and the
volunteer division, which has in the
meantime held the base. will evacuate
it on the arrival of the relief, and adj
vance in support of the first regular
division. This process will be repeated
until at least two volunteer army corps
of %, 900 men each have been success
sively established in Cuba, with sup
porting force of 80, 900 volunteers more
on the southern coast of the L. $. less
than "A hours away.
The volunteer regiments to compose
the force will be selected from among
those most prompt TO muster. State
organizations which are earliest ac-
copied by the United States will be re-
warded with the most active duty, eX-
cept in n few instances.
Major-Gen. Shafter will command
the regulars and Major-Gens. Lee and
Wade will lead the two divisions of
volunteers 1t is believed this force
will insure the speedy downfall of Ha-
vana and assure the complete surrender
of Spanish rule in the island before
the rainy season fully sets in. The
statement is made on authority that
ships enough to convey the whole eX-
petition. their equipage and subsist-
ence. supplies, await the orders of the
government.

TO HOLD THE PHILIPPINES.
Uncle sam VIII Send 5000 Troops and
Plenty of Supplies mt Once.

Uncle sam VIII send 5000 Troops ana
Plenty of Supplies at Once.
Washington: The cabinet has decided
to send to Commodore Dewey the num-
Der of troops he deems necessary to en-
force our control Of the Philippines
The administration has practically de-
cided TO occupy the Philippines with a
strong military force as soon as posi-
BILE. For this purpose Pacific slope
troops will be used and it is expected
that at least 5000 will be en- route
within the next 10 days.
Gen. Nelson A. Miles telegraphed
orders to Brighten Merriam to at once
get the troops IL his command ready
for transportation TO the Philippines,
il having being decided that the Fifth
and Seventh cavalry and Fourteenth
and Fifteenth infantry shall be drawn
upon to form nucleus of the invading
force. and that they shall concentrate
at San Francisco Immediately. Enough
men will be taken from volunteer
quotas of extreme western states to
form an army of 5000. The President
has concluded that it will be danger
Gus to delay. He is afraid that Dewey
will have serious need for all the sol
diers sent him. When the insurgents
find that they are not to be given pos
sion of the Philippines they may make
trouble, and another cause for alarm
is that there are Ia ge number of
Spanish soldiers fully equipped already
at Manila, and it will be impossible to
restrain them.
There does not seem to be any doubt
as to governments purpose to hold
these islands pending final settle
ment with Spain, when they will be
used as a collateral to secure the pay
ment to the United States of war in
demnity. High officials are of the
opinion that none of the powers will
seriously dispute our right to make
such final disposition of the islands as
suits our purpose in the enforcement
of war claims against Spain, and in any
event this government will be prepared
to contest any point which may be
raised

The profound impression produced
when two hundred and sixty sailors
persisted with the warship Maine is
contrasted by a Chicago paper with
the apathy of the people over the an
nual loss of four thousand lives be-
cause of the contaminated water sup
ply of that city. This gives the Union
Signal occasion to call the attention of
the American public to the annual sac
rifice Of a hundred thousand lives by
the use of more dangerous kinds of
drink. We may take wider view still.
In the whole United States, the num-
Der of deaths per annum is about eight
cen hundred thousand. According to
the estimate of physicians, more than
half. or nearly a million, die from
'preventable causes" Civilization has
on it's hands a tolerably big contract,
II it is to save it's own children from
courses of conduct that involve some
thing very much like wholesale muir
der or suicide.

The radius of influence" of a great
institution of learning is strikingly
suggested by recent gathering in his
toric Lucknow, when twenty-one mis-
sionaries came from all parts Of the
Indian Empire to organize the Boston
University Alumni Association of
Southern Asia. Most fittingly to their
and other fostering mothers might one
apply the Psalmist's saying, Their
line is gone out through all the earth,
and their words to the end of the
world"

Among the disquieting incidents of
the war Is the recrudescence Of Mr..
John L. Sullivan of Boston. Mr.. Sulli-
van has been gratefully quiescent for
several months. He has INDUCED in
no public jamborees, he has pounded
no bartenders, he has not even fallen
off railroad train lately. But now
he has heard of the scrap and his
professional enthusiasm is aroused. He
wants to knock out Spanlards, and he
is very likely to utilize the war depart
ment as bureau of publicity and pro-
motion until he attains his object. Sec
rotary Alger should lose no time In
accepting Mr.. Sullivan's services. We
shall have no peace until he does. And
IL, in addition to Mr.. Sullivan, Messrs.
Fitzsimmons and Corbett can be in
duced to volunteer, we predict that the
Spaniards will soon throw up the
sponge. Even Castilian bravery is not
proof against the rapid fire oratory of
the modern prize ring.

One Of the subjects OF discus
sion at a recent banquet of the
Merchants club, Chicago, was the
proposition for the establishment
of a provident loan association to
advance money to needy small bor-
rowers at reasonable rates Of interest.
The object of such a plan would be to
relieve from the grasp Of usurious and
frequently dishonest pawnbrokers per-
sons in straitened circumstances who
are compelled to seek small loans on
personal security. An act of the legis-
lature Is necessary to give proper au-
thority for the organization Of an asso-
citation calculated to meet the needs of
the situation.

The Fish and Game Protection Club
of Montreal. Canada, asks the province
of Quebec to give bounty for wolf
scalps. and one of their observant
members suggests that while they are
about it they should include foxes, as
these animals, he is convinced, are
much more destructive of small game
than wolves, even. The fox, he says,
is the great destroyer of cartridges,
and in his tramps through the woods
he has had abundant proof Of it.

Chickamauga and Washington have
been decided on as volunteer army con-
centration points. At least one other
point will be chosen, probably either
in New York or Pennsylvania.
Santiago de Cuba is in a terrible state
of panic and riot. Over 5000 citizens
fled to the country within week. The
Spanish troops are committing all
kinds of excesses and threaten to kill
every Cuban man and outrage every
Cuban woman and girl If the American
fleet attempts to take the city. Gen.
Garcia's insurgents are drawing closer
about the city, preventing supplies
from being taken in by land, and the
Spanish soldiers are beginning to suf-
fer for food. If the American fleet
should blockade the port the city
would be starved into submission
within week.

prominence. NJ. Cambon has always been
an enthusiastic Republican. His news
paper was Republican and did not hesi-
tate to express its opinion of the way
things were going in France.
In 1869 Emperor Napoleon needed
money and TO get it he levied a special
tax. NJ Cambon was indignant. He held
that the tax was Illegal and when the
government official came to collect his
assessment Camben. with more emphasis
than grace, refused to pay. In those

and the Republican papers backing their
