GERMANY's THREAT.
Newspapers Claim United States Is Not
Able to Protect Her C0ast.


LON1oN, June 2O-The Berlin corre-
spondent of the Times says: 1T seems
probable that if Admiral Dewey is unable
to undertake responsibility for the safety of
the Germans at Manila, Admiral Won Dede-
richs will land a force. 1t is all very well
for the Hamburger Correspondent to say it
hopes there will be no occasion for inter-
vention. Once German landing has taken
place. German interests will doubtless as
sumo a new aspect. and the Marine Poll
itische Correspondent has already pointed
out it will be as easy TO claim guarantee
or guarantees for the future in the Philip
pines as it was in the Shan-Tung peninsula.
1t may not, however. turn out to be quite
so easy to obtain them. The Kolnische
Zeitung says that the American task is In
no way simpIfied by the success of the in
surgents. 1t argues that If Admiral Dewey
should leave it to Aguinaldo TO complete
the work of conquest alone. he would forfeit
his legitimate excuse for Intervention of his
own in the development of the future for
tunes of the islands. Uttering a warning
to the United States that 1t will not find
colonizing easy, the article proceeds to say:
IAN administration which Is so corrupt
and so completely at the mercy of the most
pernicious personal influence as that OF the
American union will hardly be able to repair
the ravages which have been wrought by
Spanish neglect and priestly rule in the
course of centuries. The citizens Of the
most free republic do not yet seem to real
ize the enormous burdens which military
occupation of these colonies and their pro-
lection by navy will impose upon state.
The Americans are not even prepared 10
protect their own coast against naval
power Of any Importance"

WASHINGTON. June 1s-within three
weeks the President will call for 100000
more volunteers. This statement was made
by him without reserve to one of the mem
bers of Congress who called at the White
House yesterday afternoon. Though the
matter of calling for more volunteers had
been discussed ever since the last call was
issued, the President did not finally make
up his mind to do so until after the confer
erce with Secretary Alger and General
Miles yesterday. The call will not be made
until the troops mobiized under the last call
for 750O0 are equipped and ready for serv-
ice. The recruiting under the last call is
about finished, and the Governors of States
viii at once begin the work of mobilizing
and organizing the regiments and unat-
tached companies to which their States are
entitled in addition to the recruits. 1t is es-
timated that this will occupy about ten
days. and that another ten days will be oc-
cupied in getting these troops into camp
and equipping them. Under the third can
Indiana will be entitled to three regiments.
1t is evident that the authorities are look
ing forward to a long campaign in Cuba.
The theory that the war win end with the
fall Of Santiago does not find much sup
port from the President and his advisers.
When the volunteers under the third call
are organized and equipped the United
States will have an army of 1000 men at
its command.

Sunday, June 10, p. m.-Several attempts
to find landing places for the United States
troops within distance of two miles west
of Santiago have demonstrated along with
previous inquiries to the eastward, that the
shore for fifteen miles is lined with Span
iards. While this will not prevent landing
close to Santiago, it may entail considerable
delay, as the surrounding country must be
thoroughly shelled and cleared before the
troops can land in safety. When Rear Ad-
miral Sampson yesterday received advices
that upwards of thirty transports would be
here to-day Saturday, he sent word that
they should stand to the south ten miles
and lie there until a landing place had been
secured.
Yesterday at daylight the launches of the
New York and Massachusetts reconnoitered
the shore between Cabanas two miles west
of the entrance of Santiago harbor, and
Guayaganaco, two miles further west, both

mountains surrounding Santiago bay The
launches pushed their noses into hornets

ish troops, infantry and cavalry, and the
fire opened on the launches was so fierce
that their retreat had to be covered by the
Vixen and the Texas.
Wnen the Texas asked permission of Com
modore Schley to take hand the comrno-
dore seized the megaphone and shouted to

The Texas landed several four-inch shells

Of the launches, were both complimented
by Admiral Sampson for gallantry. 1t is
believed that the insurgents who are in
force under the command of General Gar
cia, about fifteen miles west, will render
effective aid in driving the Spanish skir-
mishers off the shore.
The following is the abstract of lieut.

an examination that will be a thorough test
of bis mental and physical qualifications for
the army service. Those who pass the ex-
animation will be nominated by the Presi-
dent to the Senate. To the selection of the
men both the President and the secretary
of war have devoted much time and con-
Eideration. The high standard of the young
men selected may be understood, in view of
