ADMlNISTRATION ANXIOUSLY
AWAITING IT'S ARRIVAL.
PRESIDENTS POLICY FIXED
ment Before Congress and Say
That He Is Waiting for Appropri-
ate Action from Spanish Govern
ment

Washington, March 20. Procedure
in connection with the submission OF
the report of the Maine court of in
curry by the president to congress now
is clearly outlined, and cabinet Of
fetal yesterday explained the general
line of action at present intended to be
pursued upon the receipt of the report,
which is expected to reach Washington
Thursday. A copy will be laid before
the Spanish government very early and
as soon as it can be consistently done,
the report will be sent to congress and
made public at the same time. The
report TO congress will be accompan-
stating that after receiving the report
the conclus ons were laid before the
Spanish government and that appro-
pirate action from that quarter is ex-
pected. 1t is stated positively that no
Fart of the report and no intimation OF
the findings have rea,hed the execu-
tive authorities isl Washington as yet.
The opinion expressed by the Maine
survivors who reached here last Sat
III day doubtless has contributed largely
to the view in official circles that the
explosion is due to an external agency.
The president yesterday received a
number of congressional leaders,
among them Speaker Reed and Chair
man HIT of the house committee on
foreign affairs. The visit of Reed nat
urally attracted much attention, as he
seldom leaves the congressional sphere
to make calls on the exc utive branch
and it was naturally inferred that the
purpose of the visit was to ocnfer upon
the Cuban situation and its future be-
fore congress, though neither he nor
Hit was communicative. Secretary

ing to the Spanish question,

Maine disaster. The bill reimburses
the surviving officers and men for the
losses they sustained TO an amount not

persisted. There was quite spirited
debate over the amendment suggested
by Mr.. Cannon rep, III 10 give the
survivors each a years pay out of hand
instead of attempting to reimburse
them for actual losses. Some Old al
legged scandals in connection with the
of the survivors OF the
Samoan disaster were raked up, but
the debate In the end was saved from
a rather sordid tone by a beautiful
tribute paid TO the gallant dead by Mr..
Cousins (rep., la in short but elo-
quent speech He aroused the CALLER

said that while vultures might be

the COUNCIL OF WAR
PLANS FOR CAMPAIGNS HAVE
BEEN SETTLED
A General Move Against All Spanish
Possessions to Take Place
at Once

WASHINGTON, June 19.-(Special to The
Herald) As result Of the war council held
yesterday, the second since hostilities be-
gan, the president contemplates the estab-
lishment of headquarters by General Miles
at Santiago, where he can direct the oper-
ations against Porto Rico, the towns of
Port de Banes, Gibara, Holguin, Nuevitas
and Puerto Principe, on the north coast Of
Cuba, and Cienfuegos on the south coast
Of Cuba. The occupation of Manila by
peditdon reaches the Philippines. without
waiting for the second military force. The
formation of a flying squadron having for
its object the interception Of Camara's
fleet, on the assumption that it is coming.
The rushing of the Porto Rican expedition,
for the purpose of capturing Sam Juan be-
fore Camara's fleet can make that port a
base of supplies and a harbor Of refuge.
The preparations of infantry and artillery
troops at a southern point, and the sending
of them to Shafter as soon as he announces
the need of more men, the investment Of
the western half of Cuba by at least 10000,
which, with the 80 900 soon to be in the east
ern part of the island, will give a combined
American force of 200, 900 in Cuba. The war
council discussed the Philippine situation
with much satisfaction, but with the con-
sciousness that European influence might
endeavor to make itself felt at some critical
period. Therefore, to end the agony and
relieve all temptation from Emperor Will
liam and any other uneasy monarch who
regards Dewey's operations with impatience
and chagrin, 1t was determined TO take
physical possession of Manila as soon as
the first expedition reaches that city.

What the House Will Do

WASHINGTON, June 19.-Much of the
time of the house this week will be devoted
to the consideration of conference reports.
Notable will be those upon the District of
Columbia, sundry civil and Indian appro-
priation bills and probably upon the bank
ruptcy bill. The general deficiency bill will
be passed, and among prominent measures
likely to be considered are the anti-scalpng
and banking and currency bills. Those in
charge of the latter measure have not de-
termined whether they will urge consider
alton this week or not, but in case the ma
iority sentiment of the Republicans favors
the taking up of the measure no obstacle
will be presented by the committee on rules
or by the speaker. The house will await
with much interest the course of the Ha-
waiian resolutions in the senate. Upon that
will depend early adjournment, members
generally conceding that the senate has the
key to the situation.

At Camp Chickamauga

CHICKAMAUGA, June 19.-The chap
lains of the various regiments held SER
vices here today and the Y. M. c. A. and
evangelistic cohorts were actively at work.
The reverence with which these sermons
were listened to, and the general good or
der which prevailed among the camps
are significant of high moral tone
which pervades the entire army.
The soldiers were forbidden to congre-
gate at points Of amusement, and prac-
tically all remained in camp, with the ex-
ception of some who had permission to
spend the day on Lookout mountain.
The effort of General Boynton and the
Georgia authorities to restore order at
Lytle and rid the outskirts of the gambling
houses has been productive of good re-
suits. At Lytle today all saloons and
gambling houses were Theoretically closed.
Six hundred recruits for various regi-
ments arrived during the day, making a
total for three days of nearly 1900. Until
the 5000 more have reached the park the
daily arrivals promise to increase rapidly.
Prominent among today's arrivals we,e
the following:
Brigadier General Peter c. Hayes, Third
division, First army coprs; Brigadier Gen.
eral ]. P. Sanger, Sixth army corps, under
General Wilson; Major Clayton Parkhill,
surgeon United States First division,
First army corps.
Major Parkhill has been assigned as sur
geon in Merritt's camp, and was to have
gone to Manila according to first orders.
No orders were issued toGay aside from
the routine.
Ordnance stores are being hurried up,
and the one supreme effort seems to be
that Of fastening the work of equipping
the regiments.
There is now no complaint whatever from
any of the regiments about their rations.
The hospital and ambulance service of each
corps under the plan adopted requires So
medical officers, Ill hospital stewards anG
800 men, a total of 1903. The bulk of these
men will be recruited. Recruits can be en-
listed in the same manner as any of the
volunteers. 1t may be done at the towns
where the recruiting officers are stationed.
DR.. Gill Of the National Red Cross has
established a Red Cross station at the
