PHILIPPINE EXPEDITION.

Washington, May 20.-The regular
troops to accompany the expedition to
the Philippines were determined upon
at the war department yesterday and
orders for them to proceed promptly
to the coast will be issued. These,
with the volunteers from California,
Colorado, Kansas, Minnesota, Nebras-
ka, Oregon, Utah, Wyoming, North
and South Oak ota and Idaho, will
make up the sum total from which are
to be taken the troops to be sent to
reinforce Dewey and enable him to
take and hold Manila. The quarter
masters department reports that the
four ships chartered for transports for
the Pacific troops should be ready to
sail inside of ten days at the most.
The City of pekin, which will get off
first, is almost ready.

CABINET MEETING.
Situation in the Philippines the Prin-
cipal Subject of Consideration.

Washington, May 21.-Nothing of
special interest was given out by the
members Of the cabinet after Fridays
meeting. The Philippine expedition
occupied a considerable portion of the
meeting. The population of the islands,
the fighting force of the Spaniards in
that quarter and the geographical
phases of the occupation of the island
were considered. Statements as to
the troops which General Merritt S
forces will have to cope with were
submitted. They ranged from 5000 to
10000 Spanish soldiers, but the con-
clusiOn reached was that the number
could be successfully counted on as
10000. The force already selected to
go with Merritt is believed to be more
than adequate to cope with these
troops, but if the number is found
greater, the administration will send
as many men as will be wanted to re-
inforce those about to start with Mer-
rift. A significant feature of the ses-
sion was the absence of any discussion
VI Inc m1lILdiy anu naval movements
as to Cuba or the Spanish fleet. This
is one Of the results of the policy
agreed on between the members of the
cabinet and, aside from Alger and
Long, very little is known by the
cabinet as to what is going on in the
sea south of us. This is in line with
the administration firm policy OF
Withholding any information that
might be taken advantage of by the
enemy in view of the frequent con-
versations of individual members in
which such news might be unintention-
ally made known.

PERSONALITIES.

General Miles now occupies the rank
of major general. His title as given
in the register is major general, COM
handing the army" General Grant
held both the higher ranks of lieuten-
ant general and general of the army.
Grant was appointed lieutenant gen
eral on March 1, 1864. After Lees
surrender in 1865 he was advanced to
the rank Of general by act Of congress,
as an honorary recognition of his ser
vice. He resigned this rank of
course, on his election to the presi-
dency and it has never been revived.
General Sheridan was made lieutenant
general, and at his death this rank
was conferred upon General John M.
Scofeld, now retired. Just before
Grants death congress placed him on
the retired list with rank of general
thus restoring to him the rank which
he had previously held.
c. H. Mackay, who was married in
New York May Is to Miss Catherine
Duer, is the only surviving son of Mr..
and Mrs. John w. Mackay, and was
born in San Francisco twenty-four
years ago. After his graduation from
Vanguard college in Paris, he entered
Beaumont college, in England, where
he graduated three years ago. Since
then his time has been spent almost
entirely at French and English resorts,
SO that he is comparatively a stranger
in his native country. He is an excel
lent linguist, has the reputation of be-
ing a clear-headed business man, and
is director in his fathers companies,
the Commercial Cable and the Postal
Telegraph. Young Mrs. Mackay, the
bride, has had an exceedingly pleasant
social career. She has been a great
society favorite, noted for her wit
an inheritance in her family and for
her many accomplishments. She is
connected in so many ways, both by
blood and marriage, with prominent
New York families, as to be a subject
Of remark. She is the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. William A. Duer, and grand
daughter of the late William R. Ira

The Monterey is a tower of strength

Mccoy WINS AGAIN.

Syracuse, N. Y, May 21.-The fight
here last night between Kid Mccoy
and Gus Rubin of Cleveland resulted
in a victory for Mccoy after twenty
rounds. Three thousand people
watched it. The showing made by
Rubin was a surprise. He stood lots
of punishment and was always ready
to come back for more. He was ap-
parently strong at the finish. Mccoy
says he will now meet Goddard and
then Choynski.

AT WESTMINSTER ABBEY.
Gladstone's Remains to Be Inferred
at That Famous Place.

London, May 21.-It is now virtually
decided that Gladstone's remains shall
be inferred at Westminster Abbey.
The family does not oppose the ma
tion's desire and the only direction
he left was that he should be buried
at HaWarden unless there should be
an unmistakeable national wish for
the interment at the Abbey Mrs.
Gladst0ne's only objection is the nat
ural wish to be buried in the same
grave with her husband and it is
that arrangements are in
whereby this feeling
need not prove an insuperable obstacle
to his burial in the Abbey. Herbert
Gladstone is coming to London to ar
range the matter. The queens mes
sage to Miss Helen Gladstone was as
follows; Il am deeply grieved at the
sad news. Beatrice and I wish to ex-
press our deepest sympathy with your
dear mother and all of you"

DAMAGING TESTIMONY
AGAINST ZOLoV1CH.
Barnes Boatpuller Testiaes as to the
shootlng-Case VIII Probably BE
Concluded Tonight

The trial Of Mitchell Zuloylcn. charged
with the murder Of PAT Barnes. was
begun in the circuit court yesterday
morning. the jury having been completed
the previous evening The courtroom
was crowded all day. and many Of the
legal fraternity were present 20 hear the
Introduction OF testimony By the prose-
cution. The prisoner sat beside his cOun-
sci during the day. interested In the pro-
ceedings in 50 far as his limited knowl-
edge OF the English language would
permit. He looked pale. showing the
effect OF his confinement since early last
summer.
The principal witness for the prosecu-
tion was sofus Culberson, boatpuller for
Barnes on the night OF the murder. Cul-
bersOn told straightforward story Of
the occurrence. which a most searching
cross-examination did not shake He
stated that he and Barnes we're in the
boat together. and that It was very
dark After they had drlfted while
they discovered that some one had laid
out net across their net, ana Barnes
ordered him 20 pull up towards the
other boat. which he did When the
boats were close together he told the
men in the other boat that they had laid
out their net across his. and asked them
to pick It up. This was refused and
after words a man in the other boat
struck Barnes with an oar. Iney were
all excited and CulbersOn could not dis
tinguish the men In the other boat. AS
he and Barnes were pulling their boat
away a shot was fired. and Barnes fell
over in his boat, dead. CulbersOn then
jumped overheard and swan down the
river. but later returned 10 the boat
which he found drifting after him. and
got into It. He then brought the boat
ashore and gave the alarm. The shooting
occurred on the river a short distance
below Pillar Rock. This Is the sub
stance Of Culbersons story and does not
differ materially from that given by him
at the preliminary examination. He was
cross-examlned at length but his evil
dence was not shaken.
Culberson is young man, probably
not over % years. and Is rather in'o"l
gent.
When court adjourned in the evening
the evidence for the prosecution was all
IN. As far as can be ascertaIncd the
defense will be that Of sef-defensc and
the probabilities are that the testimony
will be all In this evening.
