JUNTA SATISFIED.
Tae Resolutions Practically Give All
the Cuban Republic Asked.

New York, April 19-The following
statement on the Congressional Cuban
resolutions was given out to-day at the
office Of the Cuban Junta:
The resolutions as they stand are
tantamount to the recognition of the
Cuban republic The declaration is that
the people of Cuba are free and indie
pendent, while the Cuban people ac-
knowledge allegiance only to the re-
public of Cuba, which they have estab-
lished and maintained by force of arms.
The only object of the instruction was
the independence of the Cubans. This
is provided for by the resolutions. The
Cubans asked that before intervention
there be recognition Of independence.
This is also provided by the resolution
Their desire to run their own govern
ment from coercion is provided by the
fourth paragraph of the resolution
Under these circumstances the demand
by the United States that Spain at once
evacuate the island, and the threat that
in the event of her refusal the land and
naval forces of the United States will
be used to compel evacuation, certainly
merits the deepest gratitude on the part
Of the Cubans.
Should force be necessary on the
part of the United States there will be
the most complete cooperation by the
Cuban government and its army. Coast
pilots and practiced guides will be
placed Immediately at the service OF the
United States. and in every practicable
way will the Cubans aid in expelling
the common enemy To the patriotism
of the American ri2ople and the Amer
lean press the Cubans owe debt Of
gratitude. and for the confidence which
the American people have in them they
hope to prove their worthiness.
"The steadfastness with which they
have pursued their ideal for independ-
ence and the organization which they
have shown in their fight against Spain
are sufficient proof that they will be
able to maintain their independence
and that peace will be their only object
for the future"

BILL SENT In.
War Departments Measure for In
creasiDg the Military Establish
ment in Time Of War.

Washington, April 19-The War De-
partment bill to provide for tempor-
arily increasing the military establish
ment in time of war was sent to-day
to Chairman Hull, Of the House mill
tary affairs committee, and Senator
Hawiey, the chairman of a similar COM
mittee in the Senate The measure was
prepared under the immediate superyis-
ion of Assistant Secretary Meikeliohn,
after thorough and careful study Of
the best interests of the service In
transmitting the bill to Congress a re-
quest is made for favorable considera-
ton and in view of the exigences Of
the situation, speedy action is expected.
In time of war the army is to consist
of two branches, the regular and the
volunteer army, the latter to be main
tanned only during the existence of war
or while war is imminent, and is to be
raised and organized only after Con-
gress authorizes. All enlistments for
the volunteer army are to be for three
years unless sooner terminated. All
the regimental and company officers Of
the volunteer army are to be appointed
by the President, upon the recommend
ations of the governors of the States i'll
which their respective organizations are
raised
Concerning the National Guard it is
provided that when the members Of any
company OF regiment of the organized
militia shall enlist in the volunteer
army in a body as such company or
regiment, the regimental and company
officers in service with the militia or
ganization thus enlisted may be ap
pointed by the President subject to an
examination as to fitness and capacity
to be officers of corresponding grades in
the same organization when it is recelv-
ed in the service as a part OF the vol
unteer army.
The troops in time of war, whethe-
belonging to the regular or volunteer
army. or 10 The IlllItld, dlt " NC vi gan
lied into divisions of three brigades.
each brigade to be composed of three
or more regiments, and when three or
more divisions are assembled in the
same army the President is to organize
them into army corps, each corps to
consist of not more than three dlvls-
ions. The President is to appoint in
the volunteer army not exceeding one
major general for each organized army
corps and division, and one brigade
general for each brigade, to be selected
from the regular or volunteer army or
the militia.

SAME OLD SITUATION.

Notwithstanding the action of Con-
gress Monday night, and the reading of
the resolutions adopted, in which the
phrase lat once" figures. and despite
the fact that Vice President Hobart and
Speaker Reed yesterday signed the res
olutions adopted and transmitted them
to the White House, practically nothing
was done during the day, and the an
nouncement was made last evening that
the President would sign neither the
Congressional enactment or his ultima
tum until to-day, which may mean to-
morrow. The policy of delay appears
to have been so firmly grated upon
the Executive and the small coterie
who constitute the power behind the
throne at Washington, that nothing
whatever can be done to-day; it is al
ways tomorrow or the day after. In
fact at Washington they appear to be
always
Dreaming of tomorrow, which to-
viii be as distant then tbs to-day"
And one is still more forcibly remind
ed Of that line Of Shelley's-
Where art thou beloved tomorrow"
While Youngs-
'To-morrow is a satire on to-day,
And shows its weakness.
Is not inappropriate reading.
To-day is the sixtyfourth since the
Maine went down in treacherous wreck
in the harbor of Havana, the govern
ment has considered well the evidence
as to that crime, obtained by its own
tribunal, the President has thought it
all out, put his conclusions upon paper.
and sent them to Congress, that body
has taken abundant time to deliberate,
and has reached a conclusion. which
commanded the support of Senators
Hanna, Elkins and the rest of the adj
ministration crowd in the upper house,
and all but five of the members of the
Mwer present to vote. the result has
been duly certified and laid before the
Executive, and the Cabinet has consid
cred the matter for about three hours,
vet we are told that nothing will be
done until tomorrow. Not even the
buest-blooded Spaniard who ever
breathed the air of old CASTLE, and to
whose lips "manana" rises as uncon
sciously as his pet oath 'carramba,"
could do much better-or worse-than
that.
Tomorrow It will be the sixty
fifth day since the treacherous blowing
up of the Maine,

AT KEY WEST.
Preparing the Ships for Immediate
Action = Cubans Are Delighted
With the Situation.

Key West, Fla, April 19.--The effect
OF the news from Washington was soon
noticed on board the ships lying in the
inner harbor. The officers began send
ing their personal belongings ashore
and the ships were stripped of what
ever supertiuous articles remained.
All the work in progress is being
pushed to finish. but little or nothing
remains to be done which would delay
the fleet for a moment
The Cuban colony here is in a high
state of elation. All the morning
groups of excited patriots have been
discussing the possibilities while others
have been marching through the streets
shouting Cuba Libre,"

A MADRID PREDICTION

Madrid, April 19.-The impartial to-
day commenting upon the commercial
aspect of the war, which it regards as
certain. sas soon as President McKin-
ley stops vacillating," says:
THE Americans who are rushing
into war will be surprised to find that
it is not an affair OF weeks, but Of
months. 1t will last until the COM
mercials are more anxious for peace
than they are now anxious for war. >"
The Liberal says:
THE Spaniards are tired of talk of
Papal and other intervention. War is
matter Of hours, in spite of the ru-
mors of delays upon President Nc
Kinley's part
Continuing the Liberal urges Spain
to stop argument, adding: The time
has come for blows, and not for
words

INCREASING THE ARMY.
Plans Being Formulated to Raise a Force
of 100000 Men

WASHINGTON. April 19-Plans are
now being formulated in Congress involv-
ing the placing of about 200 coo soldiers. in
round numbers, at the disposal of the
government within very short time after
the Cuban resolutions are approved by
the President. This calculation is based
on the following figures covered in plans
already in effect or in contemplation.
namely: Standing army. 1900: by call
for volunteers, eaoo0 by calling our State
militia, 15.ooo or 100000; by army reorgan-
liza ton bill 5.oo0.
Leaving aside the present regular army
force. the second and fourth items are
practically settled on in committee while
the third, as to State militia, is being can
vassed. and while there are different
views they are expected to crystalline in
TO an authorization to can out the number
stated. The bill drawn up by the War
Department for introduction BY Represen-
tative Hull, chairman of the Military
Committee. authorizes the President to
cali for something like 100000 volunteers.
to he drawn through the various States.
While this method obviates the legal tech
nicaities involved in the service of State
militia, organized per sc. ii is likely that
the volunteers thus obtained by quotas
furnished by the respective State and Ter
rtoria governments will come from with
in State militia ranks
In the House Committee on Militia.
plan to effectually put large number OF
the militia at the disposal of the Presl-
dent is being formulated. Some think
100 900 excessive but Chairman Marsh
and others regard the figures as conserV-
alive in the view that the resolutions
evidently mean war. The President. as
now suggested by Representative Marsh,
can call out the militia at any time and
Congress follow up the executive action
by legislative action providing for their
mastering into the United States service
at the same time the army reorganiza-
ton bill recently committed by the House
is being carefully pruned in the Military
Affairs Committee to meet objections.
1t is proposed TO extend the army organ
ization to the three battalion war forma-
ton and to increase the batteries of ar
tillery to 200 men each. This measure. it
is claimed may bring about 5000 more
men into the regular service to be added
to the present 27.000 regular troops.
