IN smoke, followed few seconds later
by the spouting and splashing, not

The officers and reporters on the dis

Of the pilot house. The heavy swell

Charleston will get there in time to
serve his purpose
The stock Of ammunition which the
Charleston carries Is believed to be the
great essential just now, the fierce en-
gagement at Cavite having consumed a
large part of the American admiral s
shot and shell.
CALL FOR TROOPS.
There was a good deal of talk at the
war department today Of the possibility
of an issue by the president of another
call fer volunteers, 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
aggregate number Of soldiers already
called for has responded and has been
duly equipped for service
This last matter, the equipment of
the new troops, is the main source of
delay and promises to become even
more in the future.

FREDERICKSBURG May 49,. = The
could and rainy weather has increased
Prince Bismarck's neuralgia and ag-
gravated the swelling of his legs, and
he has been unable to leave his bed for
several days. DR.. Schweninger Is again
here and is undecided about his pa
tient. The prince, therefore, is unable
to receive visitors, but correspondent
of the Associated Press and members
of the family have been able to obtain
the views Of the ex-chancelor upon the
war and the suggested Anglo-Saxon
alliance, as expressed by the prince
during his most recent talk at the table.
In substance, they are as follows:
Prince Bismarck condemns the war
outright He says it is due to the SYM
pathetic American provocation, which
finally become unbearaple. He added:
''The whole course of the Washing
ton administration has been insincere.
My views of war are well understood.
have always held that it is only
defensible after all other remedies have
failed. The result Of the war cannot
be wholesome, either to Europe or to
America. The United States will be
forced to adopt an intermeddling pol
icy, leading to unavoidable friction
The United States has abandoned her
traditional peace policy, and, in order
to maintain her position, she must
become a military and a naval power
an expensive luxury, which her geo.
graphic position rendered unnecessary.
Americas change of front means ret
repression, in the high sense, of civil
ization This is the main regrettable
! fact about the war"
Regarding the speech made on Fri
day last by Joseph Chamberlain, the
British secretary Of state for the COL
onies, at Birmingham, Prince Bismarck
said:
saThe importance thereof depends
upon whether Mr. Chamberlain's pri-
waite opinions are those of the British
government. Closer Anglo-American
relations are doubtless feasible, but an
alliance is improbable and unservicea-
BILE to both. Besides, it is a mistake
to call the Americans Saxons. They
are a. mixed blood-British. Irish, Ger
man, French and Scandinavian. The
AngIo-Saxon does not even predomi-
nate today. This dwelling on so-cailed
race interests is nonsense in politics.
Look at the Russo-French agreement
and the dreibund. Politics are not
dictated by such far-fetched sentimen-
talities Germanys duty, plainly, Is to
maintain her interests by carefully
nursing the good neighborship of the
European nations"

WASHINGTON, May 1S-It was Of
hcially announced at the war depart
ment today that Gen. Merritt will have
the strongest division of $1,000 men
that it is possible to raise in the United
States.
Besides the 1900 regulars which have
been assigned to his command, he will
be given the pick of the troops in the
various states until his quota has been
filled.
In addition to the Tenth Pennsylva-
mia, it is probable that he will be given
one of the best regiments from New
York, a crack regiment from Ohio, and
one from Michigan, and a fifth from
Illinois. sixth from Minnesota has
already been ordered to San Francisco,
and Nebraska will contribute one regi-
ment to the expedition.
II IS the pan 10 embark LULU as soon
as supplies can be put aboard the City
of Picking.
This vanguard will be commanded
by Gen. Otis, and will be used for the
purpose of taking possession of Cavite
and preparing a camp for those to
follow.
1t is declared to be the intention Of
the administration to continue pouring
troops into the Philippines until there
is a force sufficient to govern every
island in the group.
TO DEWEY'S AID.
Tie cruiser Charleston, which started
today On her long journey to Admiral
Dewey at Manila, will arrive there Iii
about twenty-four days, allowing a
couple of days at Honolulu for coal.
Nothing better illustrates the value of
the swift long-range cruisers of the
type that make up the Spanish flying
squa drOn than the fact that they would
be able to make such a run as this di-
rectly from San Francisco to Manila
without stopping anywhere for coal at
a rate of speed about rs per cent great
er than the Charleston.

that he is able to maintain the ground

OREGON's LONG JOURNEY.
Her Race Around the Continent to
Join Admiral Samnson

Join Admiral SAMPSON
WASHINGTON, May 1s.-Tbe Ore
gon, which is one of the most formula
BILE ships in the American navy. left
San Francisco about six weeks ago
before the war had opened, and at that
time it was not admitted that
she was to Join the ships in At
lantic waters. She stopped at Callao
FOR dispatches and then went around
the Horn and then up the east coast
of South America. In all, the trip COW
cred more than 1900 miles.
The last stretch, from Bahia to the
Windward islands, has been followed
with anxiety byqnaval officials, for, by
strange coincidence, the formidable
Spanish squadron Of armored cruisers
and torpedo boats approached the
Windward islands, at the very time
when the Oregon was due there. II
had been suspected that the Spanish
admiral would try to intercept the bat
tleship, and before leaving Bahia, Capt
Clark was warned to keep a close look
out for the Spanish fleet
In reply, he expressed his confidence
handed with the Oregon against all the
Spanish cruisers. The only apprehen-
sion he felt was as to the torpedo boats
under the Spanish admiral's command
for these are a new and practically
unknown element against the modern
warship. - -n
Notwithstanding Capt. Clark's as
surances, the navy department contin-
ued to feel a meeting between the
Spanish squadron and the American
battleship on such uneven terms was
disadvantageous and might bring dis
astrous results. ne
For this reason the official informa
ton reaching the aut horities today was
source of most. hearty congratula-
ton. Where thegrepart came from was
not made known, but the mere fact
that Secretary Eong regards the Ore
gon safe makes vt evident that she has
passed well to the 1frforthward of the
Windward islands. y
Aside from this bit of information,
Secretary Long said, at the close of
Office hours, that there was no further
news to BE giveniout1 Late in the day,

WASHINGTON, May 18-Friends of
the Red Cross society object to the re-
cent action of the Society Of Daughters
OF the Revolution in sending four
nurses to Key West for service in the
military hospital there. They claim thai
the acceptance of these nurses was a
discrimination against the Red Cross
organization. The surgeon general de-
MES the charge. The nurses selected
by the Daughters Of the Revolution, he
says were graduates of recognized

While the work of the Red Cross So

=" THE sDoNs SLY.
Cervera's movements since he left
Spain early in April have been very
sly, and he evidently does not intend to
take his squadron into a trap. Having
put in at the out-of-the-way ports OF
st. Pierre and Willemstad, it is hardly
possible that the crafty Spanish admi-
raj will boldly sail for Kingston. It is
more probable that one of the scouting
cruisers will sight him off the southern
coast of Cuba. es,s;2fs.e
Havana, the most strongly fortified
town on the Cuban coast, would nat
urally be selected by the Spanish ad-
niral as the point at which he would
prefer to meet the enemy. Under the
protection Of the modern high-power
guns defending Havana harbor his fleet
OF four heavily armored cruisers and
two torpedo boat destroyers could make
its best fight. But Sampson and Schley
do not intend to leave 1t possible for
Spain's flying squadron to run the Ha-
vana blockade. The battle between the
American and Spanish squadrons is
likely to take place in the open sea or
in one-of the weakly defended Spanish
harbors in the West Indies.
PORTO RICO REPORT.
The report that Cervera has returned
to San Juan, while not confirmed and
hardly credited. has nevertheless given
rise to the hope that he may take that
step. Admiral Sampson played havoc
with the forts defending the Porto Rico
capital, and if Admiral Cervera seeks
that harbor he will have to depend al
most entirely on the guns of his own
ships, and will not have the assistance
Of the shore batteries
The general impression is, however.
that Admiral Cervera will sail for San
tiago or Cienfuegos, or make a bold
strike for Havana.
