Mckinley Not Yet Ready to Call for
 Additional Troops.

Washington, May 23.-There is a good deal of talk at the war depart ment of the possibility of an issue by the president of another call for vol unteers, but careful inquiry tends to warrant the statement that this is at least premature and that no further call is likely to issue until the aggre- gate number of soldiers already called for have responded and have been duly equipped for service. This last mat ter, the equipment of new troops, is the main source of delay and promises to become even worse in the future.

General Donnelly held a conference
here last night to compare notes. They

Captain Armstrong of the quarter

latter will be shipped to Trenton with

of army hats and leggings and about
1000 rubber blankets were received at
the state arsenal Adjutant General
Stryker said that no orders had yet
been received from Washington for
the calling out of the naval guard or
the military militia, but it was not de-
MED that the preparations were being
made in the belief that such a call
might be made. There is talk of a

will be an effort on the part of the
peacefully inclined in congress to con-
tinue to hold that body in check and
to prevent infiammatory utterances
there until this promising diplomatic
lead may be exploited. On the part of
the administration IL is stated that the
developments of the situation will not
require a great length of time. and
hence that there will be no extended
delay.
A policy has been fully determined
upon by the president. 1t is to bring
the Cuban war to a close. This will
be accomplished by pointed interven-
tion. IL necessary. but IL is considered
far preferable that the end should come
as the result of peaceful negotiations
than IL should be ACCOMPLISHED by hos
tile demonstrations on the part of the
United states. hence the disposition of
the president is to give Spain a fair OPP
portunity to secure an armistice with
the Cubans and to allow her a reason
able time In which to come to an un-
derstanding with the hostiles.
IL can be stated upon high authority
that there has been no abatement OF
the presidents intention to see that the
war is terminated. when IL is closed,
upon terms that will render the Gu
bans practically a free people. IL is
not believed that they would accept
anything less nor that Americans
would be satisfied IL we should encour-
age settlement that would not be ac-
ceptable to the Cubans. IL there should
now be an armistice IL would be with
the concessions made by Spain at the
instance of this country, that negotia-
tfons should be opened Immediately
with the Insurgents looking to the es-
of a permanent peace upon
these terms. 1t has long been the hope
OF the administration to bring spain
TO the point of making propositions of
this character as the basis of a settle
ment most satisfactory to all parties.
and IL is hoped from Spain's attitude
that this time has arrived.
The seconds of the administration
feel that the situation lis a very deli
cate one and that much will depend
upon the course congress may pursue.
In the meantime. the president will.
on Wednesday. send his message ask
ing that an appropriation be made for
the aid of the destitute Cubans.

the real course Of the negotiations:
During the past week. on Wednesday.
United States Minister Woodford had
an omcial interview with the ministers
or foreign affairs and the colonies, Sen
ors Gullon and Moret. at the private
residence OF the former. 1t lasted two
hours. General Woodford left an off,
cial note explaining fully the views and
intentions of the American govern
ment.
In this document no comminatory
intimation was made nor any date
fixed, but 1t was clearly and firmly
stated that the United States govern
ment could not longer withhold from
congress the correspo Nience and con-
sular reports which not only put in full
light the distress of the rural popula-
ton OF Cuba. the inadequate relief and
the persistence Of disaffection, but also
showed that the new colonial policy
and other efforts Of Spain had not pro-
duced the results that would justify
holding out the prospect of early pacif-
cation.
Consequently. the American note
lays stress upon the fact that contin-
gencies are now fast approaching for
the action which was foreshadowed in
a presidential message and diplomatic
correspondence so frequently and
clearly during the last three years
THE American note and the Ian
guage Of General Woodford in his con-
ference with Senior Gullon leaves no
doubt that il is the intention of the
washington government to act very
soon. beginning with the communica-
ton of the above document and the
Maine report to congress and sending
relief officially to the distressed Gu
bans"

SYMPATHlZES WITH SPAIN,

London. March IA dispatch 70 the
Observer from Berlin says the imminent
danger of war between the United States
and Spain is the absorbing topic of dis
cussion. Until recently pol tical and finan-
cial circles refused TO credit the posi-
bility of war. but the report of the Maine
commission dissipated this skepticism
There is great depression on the bourse
to-day.
German opinion may be summarized by
saying that II refuses to believe that a
mine was exploded. IL regards the case
as one of negligence on the part of Spain
for which the United States is entitled TO
compensation. but Spain's claims on ac-
count of the flibustering expeditions
must also be allowed No German credits
the genuineness of the American meas
ures against these expeditions or the in
dignation of Americans over Spanish
cruelties In Cuba. Indeed. opinion here re-
sents American Intervention as imperti-
nence. and would. I'm case of war. sympa-
thize outspokenly with Spain. but would
at the same time preserve the strictest
neutrality.
