TEXT OF THE DOCUMENT

The President today issued the fol-
lowing proclamation calling for 1885,
600 troops to serve two years:
By the President of the United
States-A Proclamation
Whereas, by a joint resolution Of
Congress approved on the Goth day
of April, 1893, entitled Joint reso-
luton for the recognition of the in
dependence of the people of Cuba,
demanding that the government of
Spain relinquish its authority and
government in the Island of Cuba,
and to Withdraw its land and naval
forces from Cuba and Cuban waters,
and directing the President of the
United States to use the land and
naval forces of the United States to
carry these resolutions into effect"
and,
Whereas, by an act of Congress,
entitled 'An act to provide ''for tenn
porarily increasing the military Es-
tablishment of the United States in
time of war and for other purposes"
approved April 22, 1898; the Presi-
dent is authorized, in order to raise
volunteer army, to issue his procla-
nation calling for volunteers to serve
in the army of the United States;
Now, therefore, I, William Nc
kinley, President of the United
States, by virtue of the power vested
in me by the Constitution and the
laws, and deeming sufficient occasion
to exist, have thought fit to call forth
and hereby do call forth volunteers
to the aggregate number of $4,000,
in order to carry into effect the pur-
pose of the said resolution; the same
to be apportioned, as far as practi-
cable, among the several states and
territories and the District of Colunl-
bia, according to population, and to
serve for two years, unless sooner
discharged.
The details for this object will be
Immediately communicated to the
proper authorities through the War
Department.
In witness whereof, l have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be at
fixed.
Done at the city of Washington,
this twenty-third day of April, A. D.
1893, and of the independence of the
United States the one hundred and
twenty-second.

partment has occurred in the case of Capt.
Royal b. Bradford, chief of the equip
ment division. Although he has not held
mis- present Office long and by custom is
entitled to nearly three years of further
service there, he has become so impatient
to join in active service that he yesterday
addressed the following letter to the Presi-
dent: Il respectfully tender my resigna-
ton as chief Of the bureau of equipment
OF the Navy Department. 1t has been a
great pleasure to serve during your ad-
ministration in my pending capacity and 1
beg to express my thanks for the honor
conferred upon me by your appointment
to such a responsible office. This resigna-
ton Is rendered only that 1 may ask for
active service afioat''
Captain Bradford addressed a similar
letter to Secretary Long with the addition
OF request to have a command of en
active warship. The resignation will be
accepted and by virtue of his rank, as well
as to mark the high regard entertained
for him by the administration Captain
Bradford will be given one of the best of
the available ships in the navy.

Secretary Long has been notified by Mr..
F. Augustus Schermerhorn of New York
that he will give his steam launch Free
Lance to the government for nothing This
patriotic gift has been acknowledged by
Secretary Long in letter expressing the
thanks of the Navy Department. The
Free Lance is al exceptionally good yacht
for naval purposes, and she has already
been listed among those which the gov
ernment desires to purchase. She is $50
feet long, and is said to be very fast This
is the first outright gift of a ship to ;he
navy. and it is in rather marked contrast
with the terms of acquisition of other
steam yachts, tugs, etc.
