a Military Air Prevailed at the War
Dcpu rtmenf.

A decidedly military air prevailed at the
War Department today. This was due 10
the appearance of most of the officers at
tired in the uniform of their grade in the
army, in conformity with the provisions of
an order just issued by Secretary Alger,
which reads as follows:
IN time of war officers on the active list
of the army, while on duty, will wear the
uniform of their grasle.''
1t has been long time since such an
order was Iut into actual operation. By
its enforcement visitors and those having
business with the officials are enabled to
distinguish most of the officials in charge
of the military establishment. The order
found many of the officers unprepared to
meet its requirements at once so little
have they been compelled to wear their
uniforms lately, and consequently the tail
ors of the city have been busy during the
past few days filling orders for new suits
and brushing up and repairing those which
were little the worse for wear.

VACANT BROADER GENERALSHIPS
Merits of Candidates for the Posi-

Merits of Candidates for the Posi-
tiOns Set Forth.
There is a pronounced sentiment among
some of the Congressman in favor of leav-
ing the majority of the brigadier general
ships vacant for time and let the rank
the brigade have command of the brigades
temporarily or until some actual fighting
has begun. 1t is suggested it would then
be we'll to fill those places by the officers
who distinguish themselves in action. This
would serve as an incentive to good work
and in addition would give an opportunity
for the euardsnen to obtain the higher
places. This idea has been suggested to the
President and also finds favor with num-
Der OF the officers of the army
The Missouri republicans have presente ed
to the President the name of Col. Nelson
Cole of that state for brigadier general!
At one time he filled the position of chief
of artillery on the staff of Major General
Schofield, VINO has warmly recommended
him for the place. The democrats of the
state have indorsed Milton Young, men,
Der of the National Guard, as their candi-
date for brigadier general. Mr.. Young is
from Kansas City.
Iowa has candidate for brigadier gen.
eral in the person of j. Rush Lincoln of
An.es, an ex-confederate soldier, who has
been identified for d long time with the
National Guard of the state.

DELIGHT At THE CAPITOL.
Expressions of Pleasure at the News
From Dewey.

Commodore Dewey's official report caused
general expressions of eXultaton at the
Capitol. There was especial qualification
ever the assurance that none of our YES
sells had been injured and none of our men
killed. 1t was difficult to convince senators
and representatives that this was the case,
and when they had been assured that the
report was true, because official, their ex-
pfessions of pie isure were unbounded 1t
was generally declared that no such result
under such circumstances with fort and
fleet both in opposition had ever been
known before.
The general expectation had been that
the reports would indicate that we had
lost some men and possibly that some of
the American vessels. had been disabled.
Hence there was not only eXultation over
the result but relief from the fears of
something really distressing Members of
Congress are generally of the opinion that
the reason why Manila has not been taken
possession of by Commodore Dewey is that
he wishes to avoid international complica-
tionS.

Food Scarce i'm Cuba.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
KEY WEST, Fla, May 7.-Captures are
now confined to small fishing. smacks,
which are generally released without both
ering to send them into Key West. The
hlockading vessels low run close in shore
and in some instances communication has
been established with the insurgents.
A Natanzas paper of a recent date tells
of the decentralization caused when the
New York and sister ships shelled the bat
teries, and of the unprepared condition of
the Spanish troops.
Indication of the extent of the siege is
found in an order issued by the military
ing of food supplies cut of the city, under
penalty of treason, while special provision
is directed against the railroads which may
undertake to transport food away from
Matanzas. The purpose is evidently to pre-
vent food from being sent out to the coun-
try. General Molisas has a fair amount of
supplies for his troops and out of the stock
which was in the warehouses for the re-
cchcentrados, and which he seized at the
beginning of hostiities.
Commodore Remey's pennant was raised
this morning, and he is now in command
of the naval station here. Commodore
Watson's pennant flies from the Cincin-
natl Hints are given that the division of
the fleet may be permanent. The Mont
gomery sent in today, under convoy of
revenue cutter Hamilton, the Spanish brig
antine Fosquito of Barcelona, bound for
Havana from Montevideo. and her cargo
of jerked beef would have added ccnsid-
erably to the supplies at the city if she
mad succeeded in running the blockade.
Few additional prizes are now expected.
The gunboat Helena. which has been
guarding the Yucatan passage, has been
holding up vessels at the rate of two per
