MERRlTTS REQUEST.
Likely To Be Given More Regulars
For Manila.

Washington, May H.-Col. Il. P.
Hughes, inspector general, with headquar-
ties at New York city, was at the war de-
partment today ON mission from Gen.
Merritt, in connection with the assign
ment of regular troops to accompany the
Philippine expedition soon to start from
San Francisco. Gen. Merritt's preference
for larger number of regulars than it
was proposed by the department to give
him. has been known here for some time
and his views on that subject are shared
by many of the army officials. They
realize that Gen. Merritt will have deli
cate and important duty to perform as
military governor of the Philippines and
they agree in expressing the opinion
that the general should have an adequate
and well disciplined force at his command
to maintain order in city that will be
filed with discordant elements. There
are not enough regulars in the west to
furnish the number that Gen. Merritt
thinks should be sent on the expedition,
and consequently Secretary Alger and the
department officials have been consider
ing the advisability of Withdrawing about
three of the infantry regiments from
Tampa, where large number are now
rendezvoused and of despatching them
posthaste to the Pacific coast.
Gen. Greedy, chief signal officer is max
ing arrangements to send a detachment
OF six officers and IS men, made up largely
OF telegraph operators and electricians to
accompany the Philippine expedition.

steamer had been cut in two and pom
TONED for passage through the Canadian
canals to Montreal. While waiting for
tugs this morning to start down the river
the bow section, 4S feet in length, sud-

pontoon under water. The upper pontoon
then shifted position, drawing the other
pontoon entirely away from the bow
section, almost turning it up side down.
Fourteen seamen were just finishing
their breakfast in that end of the boat
and were thrown into the water, but all
escaped. The accident was caused by
overlooking the top deck, making the

CERvERA'S PROCLAMATION.
S oupd Much Like Famous Paper Issued
BY Governor General of Philippines.

Madrid, May 17.-2 p. NAT the
moment of his departure from the Cape
Verde islands, Admiral Cervera lin
command of the Spanish squadron in
West Indian waters) issued the following
address to the crews of his ships:
After three years of struggle in Cuba,
we are nearing the end OF the trouble
which certainly would have ended three
months ago but for Americas aid. The
nation, believing she had created by
under-hand means,a thousand embarrass-
ments. but that nevertheless she would
not be able to attain the object of her
ambition, at last threw off the mask,
and when the insurreotion was on Its last
legs, commenced against us the most I'M
just war in the history of the world.
''spain,n the Admiral continued, Ibid
not wish for war. Her conduct proves
this, by conceding everything a self-re
specting nation conld concede. But the
Americans, whose ambition is Unsuitable,
always asked for something more even
what belonged to us, that land discovered
by Spaniards, led by Columbus.
Forward then to the war, since we are
forced thereto by the Americans blind
ambition. But let us enter the combat as
did the Spaniards of old, strong in their
rights and trustful in God, who will
never abandon just cause. and who will
aid our efforts.
II need not enjoin discipline upon you
for during the past six months you have
been under my command. Ihave.only had
cause for congratulations. Nor need
call on you to do your duty conscientious
ly, especially during the watches, which
will often be most trying. Still less need
I urge you to display courage. You are
Spaniards, and that is sufficient in war;
Then, when lead you to battle, have
confidence in your chiefs and the nation,
whose eye is upon you, will see that Spain
today Is the Spain of all time.

THE MYSTERY OF THE sHAD.
Nothin Known of the Fish After 1t
Leaves Our Rivers.
philadelphia Public Ledger. }

Delaware shad have always been looked
upon, by Philadelphians particularly,
as the finest favored fish of the kind
taken from any river in the Union.
Therefore epicures will welcome the an
nouncement that the shad is now Begin
ming its annual entry into the Delaw are,
and that few made their appearance
last week in the city market The move
ments of the shad are of much interest
and more mystery to iohthyologists and
fish calturists. Beyond the period when
the fish is in the river almost absolutely
nothing is known of its habits. 1t be-
longs to GLASS known as anadromous
fshes-that is, those whose home is in the
sea, but who come into fresh water to
spawn. From the time the egg is deposit
ed to the time the fish reaches maturity
and becomes spawner there is period
of three years, and the first five or six
months of this only are spent in fresh
water.
When the water of the Delaware in the
spring reaches temperature of 60 de-
grees or over, the shad enter from the sea

in great shoals, the males first and the
females about two weeks later. 1t was
supposed for some years that the males
entered first in order to find suitable nest
ing places, but this assumption is now
known to be false from the discovery that
the shao does not make a nest, as many
other species of fish do, and the real rea-
son for their appearing first musu re-
main, for the present at least. as one of
the mysteries which surround the move
ments of this fine food fish.
The spawning grounds of the shad are
the large pools in the Delaware above
Trenton to the head waters, and it is for
this reason that the erection of dams in
the river would destroy the fisheries in
very few years. II is true that there are
also spawning grounds at the head of
Tim Der creek, and a few other streams
below Trenton tributary to the Delaware.
but they are of very small extent, and
could rot begin to accommodate the
number of fish which come in from the
sea every year. The average female shad
deposits about 10000 eggs, although a
very large one may deposit anywhere from
go, 900 TO so, COO eggs. OF these it is esti-
mated that not more than 10 per cent. are
Matched, the remainder either not being
fortified or else are destroyed by the
many other fish in the river. OF those
left it is estimated that 30 per cent are
devoured. Thus out of $4,000 eggs laid
only about rs to 80 young fish reach the
sea in safety. 1t is in the Matching of
shad that man outdoes nature, for out OF
every $4,000 eggs man, by artificial meth
DDS, can cause 80 per cent to be Matched.
against the 10 per cent of nature. The
young artifcially Matched mist be placed
almost Immediately in the natural breed
ing grounds, and assuming that so per
cent Of these little creatures will be de-
v,ured by larger fish, there still remain
27OO to reach the sea, against % or 80 by
natural Matching. It may be stated
here that in consequence of the greatly
increased ssdemand within the last few
years. if it were not for the artificial
Matching, the shad would by this time
have almost disappeared from the Della
ware and from all other streams for that
matter.
After Matching the young shad grow
very rapidly, feeding on small flies and
water anima!culae. By September they
are from three to four inches long, and
then as the water grows colder, they be-
gin making their way in vast shoals to
the sea. AS soon as they reach deep wat
er all trace of them is lost.

New York. May l7.-An uncontirmed
despatch from Havana is printed here to
the effect that an American vessel en-
gagged in removing torpedoes at Cabanas,
was blown up and that the entire crew
persisted. Nothing is known at Key West
OF any such disaster.

The injured is: Daniel Boyle, assist
ant foreman, both legs crushed,
At the time of the accident all the men
were on their way to dinner. They had
been at work on the top floor, and when
the noon whistle, blew, they stepped onto
the elevator AMI started for the basement
Just as they had passed down one story a
swapping sound was heard and in another
instant all the men realized that thew
were being plunged to what seemed to be
certain death. In the twinkling OF an eve
almost, the car reached the basement and
was badly wrecked. Its occupants were
thrown to the right and left as there were
no sides on the car.
Nearly all were made unconscious by
the shock and those who were not could
do but little else than groan from their
severe wounds.
The falling of the car made a loud crash
and other worklnen rushed to the assist
ance of the injured ones. Firemen in the
neighboring engine houses in Congress
street also responded, and the dead and
wounded were carefully lifted from the
places where they had fallen. The police
and the Emergency hospital were COM
municated with, and the ambulances
were quickly despatched to the scene The
injured were removed to the hospital and
the dead were taken in charge by an I'M
dertaker.
The accident was the result of the cable
swapping in two presumably because of
the heavy weight. 1t is stated, however,
that many times in the last few weeks
just as heavy load has been carried up
and down on the car.
