Washington. May 2e-About 20 gov
ernors of states and territories have re-
piled to Secretary Alger's kilograms.
asking for their views regarding the fill
ing Of the recent volunteer regiments to
their maximum strength before begin
ming the formation of new organizations.
Some OF these indicate a preference for
the recruiting of entirely new regiments
as under the first call, leaving present
organizations with the number OF men
now contained in them, though practi-
cally all promise the government any
amount of troops that are wanted. 1t
is the presidents desire. however, that
the organizations already formed shall
be filled to their strength as the law
provides, and this policy will be carried
out in recruiting under the second call.
| The apportionment to the states has
been made up. but not yet given to the
public. Through urgent representations
to Secretary Alger some of the states
were permitted. under the first call, TO
furnish a greater number of troops than
they were legally entitled to on the basis
of population. Consequently, In raising
the $4,000 men under the second call,

as practicable. with the result that some
of the states may not be called upon to
furnish any of the men needed. This
course probably may give rise to dis
content in states where men are anxious
to serve. but 1t Is regarded as the only
fair way to proceed.
Sunday passed uneventfully in official
circles and was characterized by an en-
tire lack of any Information from army
or navy sources. Not a single bulletin
on any subject was displayed by the
navy department A number of dis
patches were received at the department
during the day and replies sent. keeping
the cipher clerks busy. Secretary Long
was at the department during the morn
ing. The president also had a compare
lively quiet day. In conformity with
his custom. he attended church In the
morning. accompanied by relative
from Canton, now In the city. Secretary
Alger and Adjutant General Corbin were
with him a short time during the morn
ing discussing some matters of military
importance. and Secretary Long also
called but did not see the chief execu-
tive. In the afternoon the president took
a drive In the suburbs. Secretary Alger,
General Miles and some OF their assist
ants were at the war department dur
ing the day. and the three assistant
secretaries Of state spent some time in
their offices.
Captain Goodrich of the auxiliary
cruiser ST. Louis. which returned to
New York yesterday from her cruise in
the West Indies, was at the navy de-
partment in the morning for consulta-
tion with the officials In regard to the
future movements of the ship and in
crease in her armament.

AN IMMENSE COMMERCE.
Trade Of the Countries Adjacent to the
Philippine Islands.


Washington. May 29-The commerce
of the countries adjacent to the Philip
pine islands is the subject of a series
OF tables which will appear in the next
monthly publication of the bureau of
statistics. The statement consists of
tables showing the population and
commerce of the adjacent islands to
the Philippines. and the share which the
United States and other nations had in
the commerce for series of years. and
Is accompanied by a map showing the
steamship routes and distances from
that point to the ports of the adjacent
countries. The fact that the countries
now in easy reach of the Philippines
contain a population of $4,000. 900, that
their purchases from other parts of the
world amount to over a billion dollars
each year. and their exports TO like
sum, and that the large portion of these
purchases comprise the classes of goods
produced i'm the United States, add
greatly to the interest on this subject.
The tables will show the population and
area of the countries. their trade with
each of the leading nations of the world
and the percentage which each nation
obtains of their exports and imports,
the articles which have been exported
to each by the United States during the
past five years, and the total commerce
of the United States with each of the
principal countries of that section by
years since 1880.

Port au Prince May 2s.-Two Italians
who set out from Santiago de Cuba in
a small boat on May 10 landed near
Mole ST. Nicholas on the end, arrived
here to-day. bringing information as to
the situation at Santiago. The state of
affairs there is critical. particularly so
because of the lack of food. A great
many of the unfortunate people. espe-
cially the reconcentrados, are dying of
starvation. The whole population is
terribly discouraged and keenly desir-
Gus of peace. The arrival of the squad
ron under Cervera without food supplies
for the city deepened the general de-
spondency.
The squadron has disembarked 500
men, artillerymen and engineers, and
landed 10000 Mauser rifles. a great
quantity of ammounition and four big
guns destined for the fortifications. In
spite of the strict silence maintained by
the officers and crews, the general i'm
preston was, when the Italians left.
that the squadron would set out for San
Juan. Porto Rico, to obtain supplies and
land ammunition there.

THE CADIz SQUADRON.

Cape Haytien. Hayti. May 2s.-No
news from Santiago de Cuba was OBJ
tainable here this morning. but. on the
other hand, it is reported that two ves-
sells of the Cadiz fleet. said to be the

names are probably mistake, as there
are no such vessels known here by the
names given. the latter being the flag
ship of Admiral Ceryera's fleet.

Washington. May so.-At 1880 o'clock
this (Monday) morning the navy de-
partment received a dispatch from
Commodore Schley announcing def
nitely that he had located Admiral Ger
vera's Cape Verde squadron in the bay
of Santiago de Cuba. The commodore
states that he has seen and recognized
the vessels of the Spanish fleet.
While the naval officials have been
moderately certain for several days that
Cervera's squadron was in the harbor of
Santiago. the official announcement
from Commodore Schley was received
by the officers on duty at the depart
ment with intense satisfaction. Assur-
ance is now doubly sure that the Span
ish fleet is bottled up and that the cork
is in the bottle.
It is not believed that Admiral Ger
vera will attempt to escape from the
predicament in which he now finds him
self, as such a course would surely re-
suit i'm the destruction of his vessels and
the loss of many lives precious to Spain.
The suggestion is made. however, that
the Spaniards may blow up the ships
rather than have them fall into the
hands of Schley. as they certainly will
if they remain in the harbor.
The definiteness of Commodore
Schley's dispatch would seem to indi-
cate that he has effected a landing near
Santiago and made a personal inves-
tigation OF the harbor. 1t would be
impossible from the entrance of the bay
definitely to see and recognize the
Spanish vessels. but by effecting a
landing at some point on either side
of the entrance, a vantage point could
be gained very likely from which the
entire harbor. ii is believed. could be ex-
amined. In all probability Commodore
Schley or one of his trusted officers has
succeeded in performing this hazardous
undertaking in order to obtain the val
liable information contained in his dis
patch.
1t is impossible, owing to the late
ness of the hour, to obtain any official
expression upon the news from Com
modore Schley. What effect the GER
tainty that Cervera is practically help |
less will have on the plans of the ma
val station with reference to the in |
vasion of Cuba can only be conjec- |
tured.
. The transportation of land forces to |
the island, il is understood, was de- |
layed because of the uncertainty con-
cerning the location of the Spanish
squadron. II that understanding is
correct. the probability of an early in
vasion of Cuba is strong. 1t is not un-
likely that the movement of troops.
which has been delayed from time to
time. will begin this week. and that
before the end of the week the United
States forces will have obtained a sub
stantial foothold upon Cuban soil.
