The War Department rushed ahead
its preparations for the mobilization and
thorough equipment of the volunteer
army, and the progress which is being
made is most gratifying. The important
development of the day was the definite
selection of the corps comanders. The
announcement, however, does not con-
tain any surprises. Though GccSGSor Gen
eral Wesley Merritt, is accredited TO
the Department of the Pacific, such
designation is made formally but it is
known that he will go to the Philippines
in command of the army there and will
be accompanied by Major General Otis.
The designation of General Fitzhugh
Lee as Commander of the Seventh
Corps, with headquarters at Tampa,
would seem to indicate that he is to ac-
company the army of invasion to Cuba.

Another important matter considered
ut the session was the Oc-

Senate, will allow the United States to
raise the American flag over the island
and use the same as Il base of supplies.
This measure is said to have been pre-
pared with the knowledge of the mem
bers of the Senate Committee on Foreign
Affairs and has had the approval of
President Mckinley. This bill was re-
ceived by the Hawaiian government a
short time ago and has had the care

ters Senator Gray had business with
the President to-day and called his at

1T is stated that these ships are kept
on the New England coast to allay APP
prehensions," said Senator Gray. "That
is all fo0lishness. Here these ships are
kept on this coast when there is not a
particle of danger, while the Spanish
squadron is not far from southern shores.
/ don't believe anybody has any idea that
the Spanish fleet would attempt To sail
5000 or 1000 miles from its present
position to attack the New England
coast and be without base of supplies
when it got there. While our ships re-
main on the New England coast, the
Southern coast. much nearer to the

ships should be with one or the other
squadrons.

friends say he has met and answered
every charge presented, and that in seve-

damaging evidence, did just the reverse
and testified in his favor. A decision
from the committee is expected within

Butler is confident that Ewart will be
rejected. Senator Pritchard is equally
