The reports that Germany would not
issue proclamation of neutrality, in
order to leave her hands free from in
tervention, If it seems desirable, can
not be confirmed in diplomatic circles
On the contrary, there is every indica-
ton that Germany viii observe strict
neutrality so long as German ships and
German commerce are unmolested dur
ing the progress of the war; If. how
ever, German interests suffer by search
and seizure on the high seas, then it is
not so certain strict neutrality will be
continued.

POWERS OF GOVERNORS.
Have Little to Do With the Raising
of Volunteers.

Washington, April 26.-Some differ
ence of opinion exists among war de-
partment officials as to the precise steps
which will be taken to recruit for the
volunteer army called into service by
the president. Although the kilograms
sent by the department to the COVER
nors Of the various states were entire
ly those of inquiry, the inference is
drawn that the governors are given
certain prerogatives in the way of rails
ing a volunteer army. This IS com
bated by some of the law officers Of
the war department, who hold that the
act as pasSed does not admit of such
Interpretation. Major ]. n. Morrison,
assistant to the judge advocate of the
army, and a high authority on military
law, says there is no provision in the
volunteer army act for any state, or
the governor or any officer thereof, to
enlist any men for either the regular
or volunteer branch of the army, or for
them to have anything to do with the
raising of either branch, except that
the governors are to appoint certain
designated off cers of the volunteer
branch. The enlisted men are obtained
in the same way in both branches, and
it is not likely that one of the states
has a single dollar in the state treas
ury that can lawfully be used for
raising either branch. There is moth
ing IN the act IhdC can De construed 10
provide that any state organization

mustered in as the state volunteer
organizations of 1861 to 1865 were, and
If the militia officers are not appointed
as volunteer officers, or if they are ap-
pointed and do not accept the appoint
ments, they viii remain militia officers.
But if they are appointed and do ac-
cept the appointment. they will prob
ably have to resign as militia. officers.
If they do not resign they wiz simply
hold two offices-one in the state mi
litia and one in the United States vol
unteer army.
The act assumed that the members
OF the state militia organizations Will
enlist in the volunteer army, but does
not provide for them to do so: that is,
II does not require them TO do so.
Anyone else is as clearly eligible to
fight as they are.
It might be, said Major Morris. that
unless something is done by their re-
spective governors to prevent it. these
miiitiamen viii find that their obliga-
tons under the state law as members
of the state militia organizations will
be obstacles in the way of their entry

Washington. April 26.-Conditions in
Washington are rapidly settling down
to those of actual war. Notices came
to the state department from the four
quarters of the globe today showing
that the nations, as a rule, are pre-
pared to assume an attitude of strict
neutrality. as between the United
States and Spain in the present strug-
gle. In most cases they were in an
swer to the identical note sent out yes
terday by the state department to all
United States embassies and legations,
instructing them to inform the govern
mentS to which they were accredited
that war has existed since April u.
Great Britain has always taken an adj
vanced stand in the principles of neu-
trality, so that il was with great in
terest that the news was received here
of the terms of the neutrality procla-
nation issued in London.
On the whole. the officials are dis
posed to take the view that the strict
adherence by Great Britain 10 these
rules will be rather more advantageous
to the United States than to Spain par
ticularly as we now are operating in
the naval sense close to our own base
of supplies, and in all probability soon
will cut Spain off from the two bases
that she row has in the neighborhood
of Cuba
EFFECT OF PROCLAMATION.
The president issued a proclamation
during the day laying down rules as to
the seizure of prizes. and the result, it
is believed, will be the release of some
of the ships already captured, though
it will be for the prize courts 10 deter
mine in each case whether the cOndi-
-Fr4w,e
tured are such as to warrant release
The impression prevails that the
Buenaventura, the first on the list of
prizes, viii be declared no prize
The case of the Panama, whose seiz-
ure was reported today, is more cOmpli-
Gated, owing to the fact that while
otherwise exempt. the ship was report
ed to have contained supplies for the
Spanish army in Cuba, which are con-
traband.
However, it may be said that while
the settlement of these questions will
be left to the courts, the administration
believes the greatest liberality should
be shown in the application of the laws
where vessel is not contraband or
attempting to run the blockade. That
is shown in the liberal terms of the
proclamation itself, by which the prize
courts must be guided.
REFRAIN FROM PRIVATEERING.
1t is noted also that the administra-
ton has not been deferred by any criti-
cism in congress from again formally
pledging itself to the nations of the
world to refrain from priva teering, and
abide by the declaration Of Paris of
1856.
So far as is known all the United
States consuls have made their way
safely oGt of Spain. Consul Fay at
DANA has reported to the department
from Lisbon; Consul Bowen at Bar
celona from Paris, and Consul Carroll
at Cadiz and Consul Bartelam at
Malaga from Gibraltar. The depart
ment has assured itself that the others
are safe.

officers varies as to the length of time
the troops will be stationed at the ma

ping into army discipline an extraor-
binary number of raw men, at best a
tedious job, but one necessary before
the forward movement begins. AS by
that time the weather in Cuba would
be fatal to the landing of troops, it is
believed by many that should the Occu-
patton of Cuba, by United States armed
forces be finally decided on, it will not
be ordered before autumn.
It is probable that before the end of
this week the army at Chickamaus2
will be divided into five regiments, two
of cavalry and three OF infantry. The
infantry brigades, as decided on, were
to consist of four regiments each, the
Seventh, Eighth. Twelfth and Twenty
fifth. in the First brigade, and the
First, Second, Sixteenth and Twenty
fourth in the Second brigade. The
regiments of infantry were not eX-
pected to come to Chattanooga, the
ElSnIGeHIn lIOHl or ctIiO Il VI I
Houston, destined for New Orleans, and
the Nineteenth from Forts Brady and
Wayne destined for Mobile. 1t is al
most certain the Eighteenth will come
TO Chickamauga, in which event three
brigades will be formed, to consist Of
three regiments each. 1t is apparently
the idea of the officials 20 gradually

the regular army at Chicamauga. and
it is intimated that before many days

DEATH ROBS THE SULTAN.
Chief of the Eunuchs Was Not Pretty,
But Was Rich.

Vienna dispatch to the st. Louis
Globe Democrat: Abdul Hamid has
just sustained a severe loss through the
agassy or chief of the eunuchs of the
imperial seraglio. who throughout the
present reign had been one of the most
influential figures in Turkish politics,
a parsonage to whose advice mary of
the most shrewd and clever devices Of
the sultan in dealing with the foreign
powers was justly attributed. BY vir-
tue of his strange office he was entitled
TO be addressed as your highness, and
ranked Immediately next the grand
vizier, and before either the cabinet
ministers OF the great military digni-
tariss, even Khedive Ab6as of Egypt
and Prince Ferdinand Of Bulgaria, the
latter in his capacity of Turkish gov
ernor general of eastern ROumelia, be-
ing compelled at ConstantinOple to yield
the pas to the hideously ugly monster,
for Yaver-Aga was frightful to behold,
being almost six feet six inches high,
coal black, with a small head, narrow
shoulders, an enormous stomach, and
the squaky, shriIl voice peculiar to his
class. His official title was that of
keeper of the keys of paradise" the
oriental idea of paradise being a place
peopled with hours as lovely as those
of the sultans harem.
Yaver-Aga had been for the past %
years in absolute control of the latter.
the despOtic master of the whole feTni-
nine portion of the household of the
sultan and responsible to the latter for
the safe keeping and fidelity and the
discipline of every one of the women,
no matter whether sultanas or mere
odaIisques. He was probably the only
man in the whole of the Ottoman en-
pire whom the Padishah implicitly
trusted. and whose advice was usually
directed against the European powers.
Yaver-Aga was a MOhammedan of the
most fanatical and bigOtsd type, and
there is much at Constantinople TO in
dictate that he was one of the principal
instigators of the Armenian massacres.
AS chief eunuch of the harem. IL was
his duty 10 attend To the punishment
of those women who had offended the
sultan, and many hundreds of fair ones
have, by his directions, been sewed into
sacks and pitched. under the cover of
night. into the swift flowing waters OF
the Bosphorus.
