STATE QUOTAS.
Adjutant General Is Figuring Out
the Problem.

the PrOb1em.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-Adjt. Gen.
Corbin is engaged In making up the
apportionment Of troops which each
state is to be asked to furnish under
President McKinley's second call for
$4,000 men. Because of an excess over
their quota under the last cali, some of
the states will not be asked for any
additional men at this time. So far as
is possible the existing regiments will
be recruited to their maximum
strength.
Some Of the state governors in their
communications with the war depart
ment have manifested decided opposi-
tion to filling up the existing regiments,
preferring to recruit entirely new or
ganizations, and in some Of these cases,
it is believed likely the department. may
yield, although no one will make any
official statement to that effect
There is a disposition on the part of
the war department to avoid any I'M
seemly wrangle over the matter but
instead to yield a point for the sake
Of appearances. Ample authority, it is
said, exists under the volunteer act for
the war department to proceed on It's
own responsibility with the work of re-
cruiting without any call on the gov
ernors to assist in that work.

EmperOr's Brother Compelled to
Apologize by Dewey.
CHICAGO, June 1.-Charles N. Post,
vice president of the Lyon & Healy
company, who has just returned from
an extended tour of the Orient. met
Admiral Dewey in Hong Kong March
20. MI. Post tells of social passage
at arms between Dewey and Prince
Henry, brother Of Emperor William,
commanding the German squadron at
Hong Kong. Prince Henry Immediate
~ after his arrival at Hong Kong gave
banquet to the higher officials of the
other Heets, among whom was Rear Ad-
mlral Dewey. At the feast the prince
proposed toast to his own country,
then to Great Britain, then to all the
other great powers except the United
States. Finally, just before the dinner
was over the royal host pronounced a
toast to this country.
When Rear Admiral Dewey saw that
apparently his country was to be
sighted, he left the banquet without
ceremony. The next day a representa-
tive Of Prince Henry sent a round
about apology to the American COM
mander. Dewey sent word back to the
emperor's brother that he would ac-
cept nothing but written or personal
apology from the prince. The latter
then called upon Dewey and apologized,
saying that in the confusion Of the din
ner, he, the prince, thoughtlessly neg
lected to put the American toast in its
proper place on the programme
While Mr.. Post was at Hong Kong,
Prince Henry gave ball, but Admiral
Dewey, although invited, did not at
tend it. The banquet incident was not
allowed to get out, and Mr. Post re-
ceived 1t first-hand from one Of the
officers of the American fleet.

AFFAIRS AT SANTIAGO,
Story of the Attack on the Hnrbor
Batteries.

NEW YORK, June IA special from
Cape Haytien says: The torpedo boat
Porter arrived at Mole St. Nicolas at
O'Clock this morning with dispatches
Tor Washington The following stsry
OF the bombardme mt Of Santiago de
Cuba was obtained:
The American squadron, augmented
by the torpedo boat Porter, the auxil-
iary cruiser st. Paul and the protected
cruiser New Orleans, approached the
entrance to the harbor of Santiago at
about 1890 p. m., the Iowa leading.
inside the entrance to the harbor was
seen one of the warships of Cervera's s
fleet stripped for action.
AS the American fleet drew near the
New Orleans, Capt. Folger was de-
tached and steamed forward ahead of

directing the fire at the battery on the
Punta Gorda, within the harbor. and
to westward Of the position occupied
by the Spanish ship. The lat er replied
to the fire, and Immediately became a
target for all the American ships en-
gagged in the battle.
She retired behind protecting head
land, and was not seen again during
the engagement.
The Iowa, directed by Fighting
Bob" Evans; the Massachusetts, Capt.
F. ]. Higginson; Texas, Capt. J. w.
Phillip, and the New Orleans kept I'D
their fire against Moro, Socapa and
Punta Gorda forts for two hours, their
projectiles of enormous size doing tre
mendous damage to the defenses of the
harbor.
The masonry Of Socapa and MORO
was battered almost into dust. and the
forms of Spanish artilIerymen and in
fantry could be plainly seen flying to
safety behind the neighboring hills.
The auxiliary cruiser, which Joined
Schley's fleet just before the battle
took place, was hit by shells from the
forts, and it is thought she was seri-
ously damaged.
The damage done to the American
fleet cannot be learned, but it is not
thought any person was killed-if. in
deed, any one was wounded.

Spanish account of the reported en-
gagement off Santiago de Cuba has
been issued here:
The American fleet, consisting of the
Iowa, Massachusetts, Brooklyn, Texas,
New Orleans, Marblehead, Minneapolis
and another cruiser, in addition to six

SPANS FUNDS RUN Low
WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CARRY
ON WAR LONG
The Condition of the Imperial Bank
Considered More Grave Than
Would BE Any Reverse of War
Exchange Notes for Silver-An
Early Discount.

MADRID, June IAN article signed
by Senior Emilio CASTELAR,, the distin-
guished Republican statesman, which
appeared In the Pettio Review Inter-
nacional and which has been reproduced
in several Spanish papers that are be-
ing prosecuted for their production, has
caused great sensation. Senor Cas-
telar attacks the queen regent, re-
preaching her with being unpopular
and with interfering unjustif1ably in
political affairs. He compares her pres
ent position with that of Queen Marie
Antoinette, on the eve of the French
revolution.
The matter came before the senate
I, today, Duke de Roca demanding the
prosecution of Castelar,. Other sena-
| tors expressed in violent terms their
indignation at Senior Castelar's con-
duct.
| 1t Is believed CASTELAR, has hopes of
being president of Spanish republic.
In the senate today Count Cast
| Valencia asked if "the news of the
American repulse at Santiago de Cuba
was official"
The minister of marine, Capt. Aunon
replied affirmatively, adding:
| 1.-THE news Is a good augury for fur
| ther victories, which the courage and
high merit of our sailors give reason
to hope for"
The senate then quickly "noted with
satisfaction the brilliant victory Of the
Spanish fleet"
MADRID, June 1.-The attention Oh
the public today is absorbed in the
condition of the Bank of Spain, which
is considered more serious than any
reverse of the war, inasmuch as the
impossibility Of the bank to help the
government means impossibility to
| continue the war.
There was a long procession at the
| bank during the day. All classes of
| people were represented, and many
women were in line waiting their turn
to change notes into silver, fearing the
notes would soon be subjected to a
discount.
If the run continues, there Is dan
ger Of the banks stock of silver be-
coming exhausted, which would COM
Eel the government to resort to fore
ed currency, issuing notes Of small de-
nomination. 1t is, however, hoped that
this panic will subside, leaving the
bank a margin of silver.
The financial outlook Of Spain is
rather dark. The government has en-
trusted the Bank Of Spain with the
negotiations for a loan of 1000, ,000, 900
pesetas at per cent, which sum is to
be raised as and when required. The
bank will endeavor to raise the loan
at home and abroad

Of evidence of battle from various
sources compels officials to believe that
there has been fight of some kind.
This is the view in official circles, or
better the expressed view of officials.
Popularity, there is more disposition to
accept the story, and a strong hope
that when the news is received from
sources other than Spanish, it will
show brilliant victory for the Amer
lean troops.
1t is pointed out by naval officials
that a general order to commanders
along the Cuban coast calls for the re-
duction of any new fortifications estab-
lished, and the affair at Santiago may
have been the result. 1t is not believed
that Schley attempted to enter the har-
Dor.

inestimable contributions to the civil

Nowhere have the unconquerable de-

sturdy manhood of our American cit

In peace or war, the men and women
of the West have ever been in the van

Il congratulate the management

Say They Are Anxious to Meet Amer
lean Soldiers.

HAVANA, June 1.-Admiral Cervera, it is
rumored here, was not at Santiago de Cuba
yesterday, during the bombardment by the
American squadron. Had he been there the
Spanish warships would have entered the
combat against the Americas.
The Spanish army and navy are anxious to
measure arms with the Americans and de-
sirous that a propitious occasion may soon
present itself trusting for the result to the
courage Of the Spanish soldiers and sailors,
to their better organization and to the greater
skill of their commanding officers.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The state
ment from Madrid, in what seemed to
be almost semi official form, of the
acuteness Of the financial stringency
there, and the plain intimation that
the Bank of Spain and consequently
Spain, were nearing the end Of their
financial resources, was regarded at the
state department of more real signifi-
canoe than many of the stories Of bat
ties on land and sea that have been
coming over the cables for the past
few weeks. The effect of this notice
may be to hasten the operations against
Porto Rico, lest the prize slip from our
grasp through a sudden and unexpected
termination Of the war.

sufgents are making an attack by land,
and also to land reinforcements at
guantanamo, east of Santiago. A dis
patch from Santiago says:
The American squadron which bonn
barded Santiago yesterday was COM
posed of fourteen We se,s, among which
were recognized the Iowa, Bro kyn,
Massachusetts,, Texas and Amazonis
CNew Orleans), besides a gunboat and
an auxiliary cruiser, believed to be the

ed fired on the batteries at Punta

OH the cruiser Cristobal Colon which
had advanced toward the entrance OF

| high sea.
The Americans fired projectiles of 32
| centimetres, and the batteries, as well
as the Cristobal Colon, kept up an in
cessant responsive fire Two shots
landed on the after part Of the Iowa,
causing damage.
On the Spanish side the damage was
insignificant. The American squadron
withdrew at 6 o'clock last evening.
This morning the American squadron
reappeared off Santiago, but coateated
itself with firing two shots, which are
believed to have been signals agreed
upon with the insurgents, who, num-
bering 1000 or 5000, are said to have
concentrated three or four miles from
Santiago.
Great events are expected hourly at
Santiago. The Spanish authorities have
| taken extraordinary precautions, and
| have placed at the narrow passage at
the entrance Of the harbor special con-
trivances which permit the closing and
opening of the port at will.
BATTERIES SILENCED.
The following additional details of
yesterdays bombardment have been
| received
The Spanish batteries at first an
| swered the fire of the American squad
ron in lively manner. After twenty
minutes of firing, directed in a su-
| perior manner upon the part of the
American fleet the Spanish batteries
began to weaken, and the American
ships concentrated a violent fire upon
Ell Moro, destroying it completely The
| forts at Socapa and Punta Gorda fired
| the last shots.
The Spanish loss must have been con-
! siderable. Details are lacking as to the

The Spaniards pretend to have struck

this information is accepted here un-
der reserve.
AT 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon the

At that hour there were no Spanish
vessels in sight. No news has been
