War Department Details COmmOdOpeS to Aid

Watson and Remey Will Each Command Division of the North Atlantic Squadron

, a great deal of labor and make them directly responsible to him for any ac- tion they may take.
 Further than this, the assignments are important in view of the Strateg- ical results expected to ensue. For instance, when there is junction of the flying squadron with the North At lantic squadron, Commodore Watson will be left in command of the blockad- ing force off Cuban ports while Rear Admiral Sampson and Commodore Remey, in whose division will be the armored vessels, will sail with Com modore Schley's command, which will comprise the second division of the united force to attack the Spanish men-of-War.
 It was pointed out to me to-day that Rear Admiral Sampson's force had now grown to such proportions that it was absolutely impossible for one man to handle it without overWorking him. self, and Rear Admiral Sampson is too good an officer for the department to permit to be run down at this critical juncture. There are fifty-four vessels under his command, including two battle-ships, one armored cruiser, four monitors, four cruisers, one dispatch boat, ten gunboats. seven torpedo boats, and the remainder is composed of revenue cutters and converted yachts and tugs.
 The division of the North Atlantic squadron and assignment of flag off, cers to command each division was in accordance with the recommendations Of the naval war board. As to the junction of Commodore Schley's com mand with the vessels of those of Rear Admiral Sampson, it developed to-day that the sailing orders given to Com modore Schley yesterday were prepar atory in character and that his ships would not sail for few days, possibly not until the armored ships of the North Atlantic squadron have succeed ed in reducing Cuban point, to be ta- ken as an American base of operations. Much depends, of course, upon the movements of the Spanish men-of-war as will be reported to the department by the scouts which are now securing the seas on the lookout for their ap pearance.

 Brigadier generals who are certain to be chosen from the National Guards are General Roe of New York General Garretson of Ohio, General Otis of Cal ifornia and either General Snowden or General Gobin, from Pennsylvania. The probable appointments are those of Colonel Adams of Lafayette Post, New York, and Colonel Francis Greene of the Seventy-first New York.
 Regular officers who will receive high commands besides General Shafter are Lieutenant Colonel Ludlow of the corps of engineers, whose candidacy is great ly promoted by his selection ase chief of engineers, with Colonel George w. Davis, Fourteenth Infantry, now in charge of the mastering in of New York's volunteer quota: Colonel Law ton, who has been strongly indorsed for appointment from Indiana, and Major Ernest A. Darlington, who has South Carolina's indorsement.

English Naval Officers Think the War Will
 Spread Out.
Many Nations May Become ln= vOlved in the Struggle Be- tween the United States
 and Spain.

Copyrighted. lsss by James Gordon Bennett.
 GIBRALTAR, April 30.-During the last few days I have had many oppor- tunities of obtaining the views of sev- eral naval officers upon the present crisis, and in these days naval officers of high position are often placed in situations where immediate decisions of vital importance have to be taken, so that finally they become better judges than trained diplomats. Their opinions may be summarized as fol- lows:
 Whatever may be their ideas on the technical procedure of the United States, on general principles they side with America as a sister nation. The opinion of one of the most able is that the war could have been averted and the same results obtained had America given more time, and that this matter is going to be more troublesome than the United States imagined, the Span iards having the fixed intention of drawing it out knowing that every day is enormously damaging to the United States.
 But more often than any other have I heard the opinion that this is only the beginning of great interna tional complications which England has fore seen for some time past, and for which her navy is so thoroughly prepared. Then England's lot must necessarily be with the United States, and when the time comes she will be found tuned

SELECTION OF
 THE CENERA AIS First the President Will Name the Seniors
 for Service. Politics and Influence of the National Guard Creep
 Into the Contest. At First It Was Intended to Name Only Regular Army Men for
 Most of the Hiyh Places.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, April 3O.-The Wash ington correspondent of the Herald sends the following: The senior major generals of the volunteer establishment will be the first officers selected by the President and their nominations will probably go to the Senate Tuesday. I was assured tonight that with these nominations would be sent the appoint ments of several officers to be commits stoned as brigadier generals.
 Probably five major generals and ten or twelve brigadiers will constitute this first list. The Presidents later appoint ments will be governed by the capacity shown by the senior colonels of the army in the coming expedition into Cuba and by the development of officers from civil life and militia now colonels and lieutenant colonels of the State quotas.
 The history of changes made in the list of general officers, as prepared by the President early this week, is an in teresting one. He had at first deter mined to select two prominent North ern and one Southern general in the late war to command the three army corps into which the volunteer army was at first divided by the War De- partment It was at the time under SlOOQ lJdl lllC appointments Ol brigadier generals were to be entirely selected from officers of the regular army. But National Guard influence has been brought to bear with the re- suit that less than one-half of the brigadiers first selected will be taken from the list of available regulars re- commended by the War Department
 Two of the three men first selected for corps commanders with the rank of major general were General Dodge and General J. H. Wilson of Delaware. both veterans of the Northern armies, and the third was held for one of the prominent Southerners. General Fitz- hugh Lee was popularly supposed to have been selected for the honor. La ter politics began to figure, and mem- bers of Southern delegations crowded the White House with recommenda- tions of the candidacy of General Jo- seph Wheeler of Alabama. It is claimed that if the war Is to be suc- cessful the higher generals will have to represent the interests of sections from which they are appointed.
 Yesterday, as exclusively stated in the Herald. General Dodge refused to accept senior command. This leaves but one more name on the list of ma jor generals-General Wilson-who will undoubtedly receive one of the highest commands. Brigadier General Shafter has become pror inent for one of the corps commands, since it has been known that he will be the officer to

 The sufferings of body and mind caused by sor1e weakness of the distinctly feminine organs are so almost universal among wo- men that the question might we'll be asked: "Is this Natures punishment tor the crime of being a woman

HERALD-CALL. BOAT
 DEWEY FIRED UPON.

: Copyrighted, 1898. by James Gordon Ben nett
 KEY WEST, Fla, April 30.-- The Herald-Call dispatch boat Dewey, storm beaten, decks awash and funnel white with crusted salt, was fired on five miles northwest of Sand Key light while bound into Key West this morning. Al o'clock a gun flashed four times astern, but shells were neither seen nor heard aboard the dispatch boat. We could not make out the boat using the gun, but it was show ing one white light at first and subsequently, burned blue and : then a red flare None of these is the fleet signal, and the Dewey drove on her course. She gained rapidly after the first gun, and it was decided not to heave to, as the identity of the pursuer
 was in question. After the flash of the gun a second time I dis played the signals named by the admiral for use of dispatch boats in case they are challenged by patrol of the squadron. This signal had no effect, but the Dewey was too far ahead to fear shell, and came into port. The lights shown by the stranger makes the matter somewhat
 mysterious at this writing.

up to concert pitch. The words of Lord Wolseley, talking of the militia being called out in case of need for foreign service, are much talked of as an indi- cation.
 While the report published this even ing, is probably without foundation, that the German fleet is going to Manila with orders to prevent a blockade. 1t has aroused naval sentiment still more, and there is not a naval officer here who would not like good lick at them. They see again in Germany's present attitude hatred of England. They con- slider that the greatest link to-day be- tween America and Great Britain is the Kaiser's bitter hatred of both na- tions.
 The channel squadron in all its glory six first-class battleships and eight cruisers-glided into the anchorage here this afternoon. It was a splendid sight. The ship arrived in double line, and crowds Y itnessed the mathemati- cal precision of their movements.
 The steamship San 1gnacio de Loyola has arrived here from CadiZ, having on board the crews which took the Ham, burg American line steamers Columbia and Normania, purchased by Spain. They were transferred to the ship Bayer, bound for Bremen. The De- structor returned to Algeciras last evening, but was out again at o'clock this morning keeping up the same sharp patrol work as heretofore. This is probably on account of the expected visit here of a merchantmen bound to the United States.

NEW YORK, April BOA Washing ton special to the Herald says: Signifi- cant action was taken by the Navy Department to-day to improve the ef- ficiency of the North Atlantic squad ron in case of operations against the Spanish. It has been determined to di- vide the fleet into two divisions, one of which will be commanded by Commo- dore J. C. Watson and the other by Commodore G. c. Remey. Rear Admi- ral Sampson will continue in command of the entire fleet.
 In taking this action the department has been guided by the evident neces- sity of placing sufficient flag officers in charge of vessels to direct their move ments against the enemy Orders to Commodore Watson, issued to-day, di- rect him to report immediately to Rear Admiral Sampson for such duty as that officer may direct. Instructions given by the department to Rear Admiral Sampson direct him to place Commo- dore Watson in charge of a division, composed of half of his force, most of which are on blockading duty on the southwestern coast of Cuba. The de- partment declines to name the vessel which will be Commodore Watson'S flagship, but it will be either the cruis- CT Cincinnati, commanded by Captain c. NJ Chester, or the patch boat Dol phin, commanded by Commander H. M. Lyon, both of which ships are equipped with flag officers quarters.
 Commodore Remey has been tenn porarily assigned to duty in charge of the naval base at Key West. It is ap- preciated by the department that this is most important post. It was so considered during the Civil War, when an officer of flag rank was kept on duty there during practically the entire re- bellion Commodore Remey will not, however, continue at Key West for any length of time, but will be assigned to command the first division, which will be temporarily retained by Rear Admiral Sampson, while Commodore Watson will get the second division.
 The assignment of these two officers will relieve Rear Admiral Sampson of

The city of Manila, the capital and emporium of the Philippine Islands and which is the objective point of Commodore Dewey's naval expedition Is a place of some 300, 900 inhabitants, | lying on both sides of the mouth of the River Pasig, on the eastern shores of a vast bay of the same name one hun dred and twenty miles in circumfer- ence. The entrance to this grand body of water is little over ten miles wide and is broken by Corregidor and Ca ballo Islands into two channels, the Boca Chica on the north side and the Boca Grande on the south, through both of which there is easy passage in water ranging from twenty to forty fathoms.
 Within the bay proper the depth de- creases. but t.ll gives from seven to eighteen, fathoms over all of its broad expanse, affording a fine ground for the maneuverS of a fleet of war ves- sels.
 On the north side of the entrance the huge mass of the Sierra Mirivales, ris- Ing quite abruptly from Luzon and Illago points, thrusts it's five pointed peaks upward to a height of some 45O0 feet.

 In other times, when Spain's rich East Indian possessions were so ire quently raided by English and Dutch buccaneers, Manila was reckoned one of the best fortified cities in the East, but the castles as well as the guns which defended them long since became obsolete and for many years, or until the recent insurrection of the natives, but little was done to bring them up to date. This trouble how ever, and its probable ultimate conse- quences. have caused an awakening on the part of the Spanish authorities to the necessity of having forts and guns of a character suited to modern war fare. The near approaches to Manila itself, by both land and sea, are now defended by forts and batteries with guns of new pattern, and Cavite on the hook of land some six miles south of the city is also well fortified

SAN QUENTIN, April 30.-The twelve Chinamen in the laundry went out on strike to-day. They were immediately brought up to Captain Edgar, who, after Investigating their case, ordered them all into the dungeon, where they will remain for at least thirty days. To make the punishment little more severe they will be shackled to their cells.
 The reason for their going on a strike was that the officer of the laundry had replaced the Chinese fireman in the fire room with a white man.
