DAY LIKELY TO

Almost Certain to Be Of fered the Portfolio of
 State.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, April 23.-A Washing ton special to the Herald says: When President Mckinley left the White House this afternoon to take a drive with Vice President Hobart he showed no traces of the mental ordeal through which he is passing. His complexion was clear, his eye fresh and bright and he greeted with a 'complacent smile those who stood near the entrance and saluted with uncovered head His step is firm, his voice strong and steady and he says he is enjoying perfect health. The physical pressure upon him has been -ltense recently, but his regular habits and his quiet repose when he retires for the night account for his excellent condition.
 There has been much speculation of an unofficial nature in and about the White House. departments, hotels and capitol relative to Cabinet changes. Who Secretary Sherman's successor will be is matter of cOnSidera ble spec ulation, but Assistant Secretary Day I am positively assured, will be offered the important office although it is not definitely settled that he will accept t. There is talk of transferring Charles Emory Smith from the Postoffice De- partment to the Department of State. It is also suggested that Attorney-Gen- eral Griggs should be given state portfolio. The names of Senator Da- wis of Minneapolis, former Senator George F. Edmunds of Vermont, and John w. Foster of Ohio are also men, toned in connection with the place.
 Those close to the President posi- lively decline to discuss the subject, as they have no desire to wound the feel lngS Of Secretary Sherman or antici- pate such action as may be necessary in the near future. MT. Sherman's friends assert that the Secretary has for some time seriously considered the matter of retiring from active public life, but, like many other men who have figured long and successfully on the national stage, he cannot make LID his mind when to say farewell to the scenes of his brightest efforts

TWO BRICADES

Organization ofRegime ents at Chickamauga Is
 Completed.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. April 23- The organization into brigades of all the cavalry regiments of the United States army centered at Chickamauga Park is now complete. The following general order was issued to-day by Major General Brooke:
 Camp George H. Thomas
 Chickamauga Park, Ga, April 23 1898. General field orders No. 4.
 The cavalry of this command is orgaT ized as follows:
 Cavalry division-Colonel A. K. Arnold.
 First Brigade-First Cavalry, Second Cavalry. Tenth Cavalry.
 Second Brigade-Third Cavalry, Sixth Cavalry. Ninth Cavalry;
 The light artillery and infantry will be brigaded in later order. By com mand of GENERAL BROOKE.
 Three thousand regular troops are now encamped at Chickamauga, the number to-day having been almost doubled. The soldiers arrived so fast that it was difficult to handle them promptly, hardly an hour of the day passing without two or more long train loads coming in. The work of unload ing the trains at the park was rendered doubly difficult by rain. which fell at intervals all day. On this account all drills were suspended until Monday. After that time, however, army life will begin in earnest. It is expected that by that time nearly all the regu- lar troops to be located at Chicka- mauga will have arrived. The Seventh Infantry from Fort Logan, Colo, which was reported as having arrived, will not be in until tomorrow morning.

beam and draws 28 feet of water. She was built at Newcastle in 1883 and has on board a crew of thirty-siX men.
 Speaking of the two prizes now lying at this port, Lieutenant Com mander Lyon of the Dolphin, who IS now the senior officer here, ex- Plalned why the Spanish flag still flies from the Pedro while the Buena Ventura shows no colors. The captain of the Pedro flew his col orS during the entire time of the pursuit by the New York and re- fused to haul them down.
 Technically these prizes do not become the property of our Gov ernment until prize commission has passed upon the captures and adJudicated the claim. In the meantime it is customary to permit the flag of the country from which the capture is made to fly as usual. The officers and crew are at liberty to leave the Spanish ships and come ashore provided they are not stopped by quarantine regulations. They have already expressed a preference, however, to remain aboard their captured vessels. Captain Bonet and his men of tie Pedro evidently think the Cubans of Key West are a very blood thirsty lot of patriots and do not care to trust themselves to their tender mercies ashore.
 Lieutenant Commander Lyon is in consultation with the United States District Attorney relative to the appointment of a prize commission.

| Copyright, 1898. by George Grantham Bain. HAVANA, April 23.-Three cannon shots re-echoed through the city at 6:30 last evening. It was the alarm signal previously agreed upon to notify people of the approach of the Ameri- can squadron. Red flags were hoisted at Morro Castle and at the fortress of Cabana. Trumpets were heard sum- moning the troops. Volunteers, ma rfnes and regulars seized their arms and hastened to occupy their respective stations
 Instead of showing signs of alarm, the people seemed wild with enthusi- asm. Civilians who had not been called on to join the defending forces armed themselves and hastened to join the troops. Shopkeepers spontaneously closed their doors, while their clerks and walters from the cafes ran to help defend the city and the honor of the nation.
 The American squadron was dis cerned almost within range of the har- Dor batteries. Seven ships of war were all that could be seen from shore. Or ders were given to extinguish the lights
 
 Blanco inspected the batteries and is- sued instructions for the night, and then returned to the palace to dine. His dinner was interrupted by calls from generals of the army, leaders in the colonial cabinet, irrespective of party, and others of the leading citi- zens of Havana.
 Throughout the city order generally prevailed A new battalion of volun- teers was quickly formed, being made up entirely of natives of Barcelona Patriotic demonstrations of various kinds were seen on all sides. A throng of men, women and children, number ing perhaps S0,0O0 assembled on the wharves, shouting defiance to the Am ericanS.
 Their cannon may shoot'' was the cry, but here Spaniards stand an inn passable wall"
 Marquis Arguelles called at the Pal ace to-day and offered $2000,000 to the Captain General to use as he saw fit. Many society women called at the Pal ace and rendered their services to nurse the sick and wounded. All of them wore on their arms badges of national colors. General Blanco, who was filled with emotion at their patriotic offers, thanked them, and said he was dis posed to accept their services. An or der has been issued forbidding the sailing of vessels along the coast and to neighboring islands.

After ty- phoid had an abscess on my side. which did not break for six months, and then 1t became running sore so that it caused me intense suffering all the time. I was told I could only be cured by an operation, as four pieces of bone had come from the sore. Before submitting to the sur- geon I decided to take Hoods Sar- saparilla.

Then the New York let go a shot across the bow of the fleeing merchantmen, which came to a standstill. The chase covered ten miles.
 A prize crew of twelve men from the New York, offlcered by Lieutenant E. E. Capehart, En- sign Brumby and Engineer Wal ter Ball, was put aboard the captured Pedro and she then came to Key West under her own steam and without escort. The quarantine flag is now flying from both the Pedro and the Spanish steamer Buena Ventura, which was brought in yesterday by the gunboat Nashville. The Buena Ventura this morning is badly listed. Three Government tugs are working to pull her into deep water. United States ma rines are now pacing the decks of both captured steamers, but the Spanish flag still floats from the jackstaff of the Pedro. She came in at half-past 6 o'clock this morning, and was watched by large crowds from Key West docks as she went to her anchor age.
 Captain Bonet is in no mood to talk to-day. He seems to take matters philosophically. "These Yankees are getting rather hot it seems to me-" was his caustic comment as he leaned over the rail and spoke to the Herald-Call man who ran alongside in steamer.
 The third prize belongs to the Ericsson. It was captured at dawn to-day close to the harbor. It was a small fishing schooner. Lieutenant Usher, in command of the Ericsson, caught sight of the little vessel trying to beat out of the harbor to the open sea. The Ericsson soon headed Ter off, and not being provided with any spare men to act as prize crew Lieuten- ant Usher simply ordered the schooner to run on ahead of him. In this way he chased her along until he could turn her over to the tender mercies of the cruiser Gin cinnati. The EricSs on's officers then resumed their duties without waiting to learn what disposition was made of their prize.
 A prize crew had just been put aboard the Pedro from the flagship when the torpedo-boat Foote which was scouting ran up and reported that large steamship had been sighted seven miles away, appar- ently bound out of Havana, and showing no colors. The New York soon oveEhauled the stranger and boarded her. She was found to be the German steamship Amrum bound from Havana. Her papers were all right and she was per mitted to go after being informed that Havana was under blockade.
 The German is a ship of 300 tons, Captain Schmrull. She had been in Havana harbor with cattle from Tampico. Hearing of the ar rival of the United States fleet off Havana, Captain Schmrull, not anx- ious to be bottled up in the harbor, ran out and was overhauled by our fleet. The Amrum put into Key West early this morning and is now waiting orders by cable.
 The Pedro is owned by the Nav igation Company of Bilbao, is of 1928 tons net register, is about ,3o feet long, has over 3S feet
