WASHINGTON NEWS.
Latest Advices From the National CAPITAL
on the War Situation.

WASHINGTON, May 49,
The call issued by President Mckinley,
more than twenty days ago for 125, 900 volun-
teers, has resulted in only 95 900 men being
mustered into service. Military officials are
discouraged, and say we are badly in need of
a larger standing army. These experts have
no hesitancy in saying that standing army
of so, 600 would have given us Cuba at once.
Never before has the great need of stand
ing army been so forcibly brought before the
government and people as now.
The volunteer troops now arriving at the
southern rendezvous are poorly equipped
and with the exception of few they are lack
ing arms and ammunition The Pennsylva-
mia troops are in the best of condition and
have the bearing of regulars. 1t is believed
that the volunteer troops will remain there
until late in October. From the manner in
which the troops are being equipped it is not
likely that they will go to Cuba for several
months The regulars, however, will make
an invasion earlier.
In view of the threatened crisis in the far
East, Great Britain is buying great quantities
of coal in tie far western states and storing
it at her yard at Esquimalt. This is looked
| ~, al. l.
that England anticipates trouble and does
not propose to be caught with light supply
of fuel for her Asiatic squadron. Because OF
these purchases by Great Britain the price of
coal has gone up. and the navy department
is compelled to pay higher rate per ton than
heretofore. For the purpose of preventing
dealers from taking advantage of the gov
ernment, as well as for the benefit of the
navy ships the department has determined
to store coal of its own at Puget Sound 1t
proposes to keep 5000 tons always on hand.
The Strategy Board is considering an im-
portant movement in Cuban waters. The
gathering of the squadrons of Sampson,
Schley and Watson in the West Indies will
result in something more important than ex-
pediting the military program. Commodore
schleys force is a flying squadron only in
name. Two of the vessels comprising it are
battleships neither very fast, One of them,
the Massachusetts, is not now capable of
more than IA knots an hour. The Spanish
fleet under Cervera is an actual flying squad
dron. The four armored ships are twenty
knotters, and the three torpedo boat catchers
are all in speed what their name indicates.
Sampson could not run them down, and even
Schley would be unable to overtake them.
tits proposed to give the New York, Brook
lyn and several fast cruisers, to Commodore
schley, in exchange for his heavy fight
ing ships Under this arrangement Sampson
would command an armorclad squadron, while
Watson will be in charge of the monitors,
gunboats and other craft for bloekadinR
purposes. Commodore Schley's new flying
squadron could easily oysrtake the enemy
and Sampson can easily follow at pretty

London, May 18.-According to a
special dispatch from Hawarden re-
ceived this morning, Mr.. Gladstone is
sinking rapidly. The correspondent
says: He lies on a small iron bed,
peacefully sleeping away into the land
of shades. His death chamber faces
south, overlooking the south terrace,

around him, or moving noiselessly in

Publicity Was Not Desirable.
Special to EVENING HERALD.
Philadelphia, May 1s-Contrary to the
usual custom i'm launching a government
vessel, there was no public ceremony to-day
when the Alabama, the largest of American
battleshps, slid down the ways at Cramps
yard into the Delaware. Senator Morgan, of
Alabama, and his daughter were present with
few government officials, and Miss May H
Morgan christened the vessel as it plunged
into the water at 1850 this afternoon.
The Alabama is 1868 feet long on the water
line, 72 feet inches wide at the broadest
part, and at her mean draught sinks % feet
8 inches into the water, at which draught she
displaces II, ,535 tons.
She will be driven by two screws operated
by two triple-expansion engines. The speed of
the vessel is guaranteed to be 10 knots an
hour. She has two turrets, in each of which
will be mounted two 14-inch breech-loadng
rifed guns. There will also be fourteen Gin.
rapid-fre guns. The secondary battery will
be made up of sixteen Founders and four
l-pounder rapid-fre guns, one Gatling and
one field gun. She will also have four tor
pedo tubes. The armor will be very heavy
both on the sides and the turrets.

pathetic tones which no one could
mistake.
"The moment you enter the castle
you seem acutely to feel the presence
of death, in the hush and solemn quiet
which prevails"
Late last evening the servants of the
household were admitted to the sick
room for final farewell. They found
Mr.. Gladstone lying on his right side,
in deep sleep, as if dead. Each in turn
touched his hand, and left the room
tearfully.

THE BRowER EVICTION.

The batteries from the Commissioners office
continue to throw grape shot at Fort Brewer,
but the pugnacious warden of the county
prison appears to withstand the fire with cool
ness and indifference. The new appointoes
report every morning, and each time
are told by Mr.. Brewer that there is
nothing for them to do. They pro-
pose to make these calls daily until the court
passes upon the question and decides whether
or not the Commissioners have the right tC
remove the present incumbent without cause
In this connection it might be stated that
should c. d. Arters fail in securing Brower's
position, he will be taken care of in the Con.
troller's office. Controller Snyder has moi
yet opened his broadsde at the fort. y
Speaking on the subject he is reported to
have said II never go into anything with
out knowing l will win, and when l once be-
gin storming Fort Brewer there will be some
blood spilled" The Controller has both the
energy and the ability to make it interesting
By the way, Controller Snyder is controlling
his Office, and doing it in a way that is pleas
ing to the great body of taxpayers.
