WAR SITUATION.
No New Facts to be Cleaned at the
White House.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-Senators
and Representatives who saw the Fres-
ident early to-day left the White House
without cleaning any new facts about
the war situation. So far as official
dispatches indicated there was an en-
tire absence of important adyices from
the front 1t was disagreeable
threatening day, but this fact did not
keep away a throng from both houses
of Congress. Among them were SEN
ator Jones of Arkansas, Mr.. Quay Of
Pennsylvania, Senator Lindsay of Ken
lucky. a representation from the Louis
lana delegation, Representatives Cur
tbs of Kansas, Faris of Indiana, Lang
ham of Texas and ex-senator ingalls,
of Kansas.
The Louisiana delegation, headed by
General Meyer urged upon the Presi-
dent the Importance of allowing another
regiment of immunes to the Louisiana
volunteers. There are two men being
urged to head this regiment, Lieuten-
ant Lafitte, United States army, and
John c. Wiekliffe, civilian. Either enc
of these is acceptable to the delegation,
and the President has both names in
contamination. Senator Gear and Rep
resentative Hull of Iowa called to-
gether and presented a number OF
names for army appointments.

for offensive warfare, the result being
to cripple the maneuvering quality of
our fleet and handicapping Rear Ad-
miral Sampson seriously in his often
sive and defensive operations Our
ship building policy has been all wrong
The country has gone on the theory
that a defensive navy was all that was
necessary. The present war teaches
that an offensive navy is absolutely re-
quired.
The necessity of target practice in
time of peace is apparent, when we
think of the firing of the Spaniards at
Manila, at Matanzas and San Juan
upon the American squadrons. We
knew before the war began the desira-
bility of employing smoke1ess powder,
but unfortunately Congress failed to
make the necessary appropriation when
it was recommended several years ago,
and the Department had to fall back
on brown powder.
Il think that Congress will now agree
that docks are the crying necessity at
this time. Although none of the bat
tleships are capable of greater speed
than sixteen knots an hour, under pres
ent fuel conditions they cannot steam
at a greater rate than twelve or thir-
teen knots. The divers who have been
sent down to Key West from Norfolk
will be able to scrape the prOpellors
clean, and thus increase the speed of
the ships, but they will not remove the
barnacles off the bottom of the ships
to any great extent, for ii is impossible
for them to do good work under water" "

Suffers.
None Will be Permitted to Accom-
pany the Army to Manila.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-Assistant
Secretary Meikletohn of the War De-
partment was to-day engaged in nego-
tiating for several additional transports
for the troops that are to be sent to
Manila.
The advices received by the Assistant
Secretary from San Francisco to-day
indicated that three of the transports,
the City of Pekin, the City of Sydney
and the Australia, would start on their
long journey late tonight or tO-mor-
row. No suffers are to be permitted to
accompany the army during the war.
Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn made
this announcement to-day, after thor
ough consultation with the army Off
cials who are acquainted with the Oper-
atiOns of the commissary department.
To make up for any deficiency in sup
plies which might be missed by debar-
ring the suffers, the department has
decided to enlarge very materially the
list of articles which will be kept on
hand by the commissary department.
All these will be supplied to the soldiers
at cost price Many applications have
been received from persons who are
anxious to receive appointments enti-
tling them to accompany the army with
IA suffers privilege.
The authorities are endeavoring to
secure legislation by Congress whichwil
make applicable in time of war the law
providing for summary courts martial
for the trial of petty offenses at mill
tary posts. The law is applicable only in
time of peace, and in consequence much
embarrassment has been caused by
the inability of the War Department
to try numerous small offenses which
constantly arise.

REPRESENTATIVE ROBBINS.
Pennsylvania Congressman Given
Authority to GO to the Front.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-Represent-
ative Robbins of Pennsylvania was
given authority to-day to go to the
front in the. Cuban invasion.
Robbins called on the President. to-
day and spent but a few minutes with
him before he went over to the Secre-
tary of War for assignment. He bore
with him written order to appoint
Hon. E. E. Robbins of Pennsylvania
Captain and Assistant Quartermaster,
United States Volunteers, signed by
the President.
Mr.. Robbins represents the Twenty
first Pennsylvania District, and was
the Major and Quartermaster of the
Second Brigade, State Militia. He serv-
ed ten years in the militia, and when
four regiments of his old brigade were
ordered to move forward for the inva-
sion of Cuba he determined to go with
them.
1t was positively stated Immediately
after a call of the Louisiana Congress
sional delegation to-day that Repre-
sentative Brossuard of Louisiana had
been selected to head a regiment Of
immunes he had been authorized to
raise. Brossuard subsequently denied
this, however, and stated that he had
no intention of organizing any troops.

MONITOR MONTEREY.
Preparations for Her Long Cruise
to the Philippines.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-Naval Off
cials have calculated to their entire
satisfaction the possibility of getting
the Monterey safely across the Pacific
10 Admiral Dewey's squadron at Ma
Mia. The principal difficulty in max
ang such a trip as this is the small coal
carrying capacity of vessels of the
Monterey type. She carries normally
300 tons in her bunkers, which at her
most economical rate Of steaming
would take her about 300 miles less
than the distance from San Francisco
to Honolulu In emergencies such as
the present it is proposed to store coal
on the main deck, being placed in pas
sageways and open spaces Of the super
Structure of the vessel.
The great beam of the Monterey
would permit 100 tons Of coal to be
carried in addition to that in the bunk
ers without in the least endangering
the stability of the ship or risking the
loss Of coal by being washed overheard.
AT her economical speed Of 1870 knots
per day. this coal would last her sew
enteen days. and carry her 300 knots.
Owing to the carefully laid plans Of
the Navy Department, the Monterey on
her long cruise will be obliged to make
run of 2,100 knots with
out an opportunity to coal. The ship
Will take a sOutherly course after leav-
ing Honolulu in company with steam
collier The South Seas are full Of ISL
.ands and as soon as she has left Ha-
uaii 1000 miles behind her, and in the
sheltered harbOrs of these islands it
will be very easy for the Monterey to
lie alongside and coal through her su-
perstructure. 1t would not be surpris-
ing if one of the harbOrs chosen for
such a transfer was in the Caroline
Islands. another Spanish possession in
the South Seas, for by so doing there
could be no possible complaint of a
breach of neutrality laws on the part
of any neutral nation. From the Caro-
lines to the Philippines the way is easy,
and under the programme arranged
there is no probability of failure in the
attempt TO get the Monterey safely
across the Pacific.

reports from Spain state is going to
the Philippines, is capable Of higher

RAILWAY COLLISION.
One Private Soldier Killed and An

ARMORED CRUISERS.
VIII be Given a Prominent Place
in Offensive Warfare.

WASHINGTON, May 23-As re-
suit of the maneuvers executed by the
Spanish fleet under the command Of
/. Admiral Cervera, future naval con-
structors will give the armored cruiser
prominent place in the types adopt
ed for offensive warfare. This, perhaps,
is the best lesson taught up to this
time by the war with Spain. Such is
the opinion of naval experts since Ad-
miral Cervera, with his speedy squad
ron, arrived ten days ago at Martin
/ ique. 1t marks the downfall of the
theory so strongly advocated by Cap
tain Goodrich, now in command of the
Yale, and formerly professor of the ma
val war college, that the armored
cruiser had no place in modern ma
vies.
Captain Goodrich is now probably
convinced of the value of armored
cruisers" said a prominent naval Of
ficer, in view of the fact that as COM
manding officer of the Yale, he has been
scouting for the enemys fleet since a
few days before its arrival at Martin
ique
The armored cruiser is nothing more
than a swift going battleship. Japan
! recognizes this fact, and is the only
nation that was quick to take advant-
age of such recognition. Her lesson
was learned at Yalu, where her pro-
tected cruisers, with great speed and
/ equipped with rapid-fire guns, drove
from the scene of battle the Chinese
battleships of slow speed and thick ar
NOR"
That the lesson was we'll learned is
shown by the fact that Japan immedi-
ately placed contracts with the Arm
strongs of England for the construction
of battleships of great speed. In ord
er to get the speed desired, eighteen
knots, with the protection and arma-
ment specified by the Mikado Govern
ment, it was necessary to make the
ships of great displacement. Two OF
them, the Yashima and Fuji, which
are now on their way to Japan, are
of 2.450 tons displacement each. The
later ships have a displacement Of H.
$50 tons each. On their trials the
Yashima and Fuji developed speeds of
1S5 and 1872 knots, respectively.
These vessels are really the per-
lection of the armored cruiser type.
What would we not now give for such
vessels under the command of Ad-
miral Sampson? Two Of them, with
the New York and Brooklyn, would be
able to destroy or drive away Admiral
Cervera's squadron. This Govern
ment, in building the Iowa, obtained
type in some respects similar to the
armored cruiser, but her speed is only
sixteen knots, and under present con-
ditions is but thirteen or fourteen.
"Since the war began we have been
using vessels for purposes for which
their types unsuited them. For in
stance. the Indiana and Massachusetts
are coast defense battleships. Yet
they have been sent to sea, cruising
for the enemy when they were really
intended for defensive purposes. Then
we have been employing harbor defense
monitors for blockading purposes and
