TWENTY-SIN GENERALS.


When the army is recognized on Its new
basis the President will have the appoint
ment OF about six major generals and
twenty brigadier generals There is al
ready u general scramble for these desra-
BILE places and the President is having con-
siderable difficulty in making the selections.
1t is said to be the purpose of the Presi-
dent to distribute these appointments
equitably far possible among the
different sections of the country.
Among the number accredited to the
south is Gen. j. Il. Gordon of Georgia,
who is the ranking surviving general of the
confederate army ard who is now COM
mander-in-chef of the United Confejer-
ate Veterans.
1t is as good as. settled that Gen. Fitz-
hugh Lee Will be made a major general of
volunteers. and it is probable that Gen.
Joseph Wheeler, the famous cavalry leader
of the confederacy. and now a member OF
Congress from Alabama. will receive a CON-
mission as major general in the volunteer
esta blishment Gen. Wheeler has expressed
his Willingness to accept a commission as
low as that of colonel, provided he is al
lowed to lead cavalry Charge against the
Spaniards in Cuba.
Unless present plans are changed the
| army of invasion will be commanded by
Major General John r. Brooke, who has
been placed in command of the only army
corps yet created. The increase of the
army will probably result in the promotion
OF Generals Coppinger, Wade and Shafter
row commanding divisions in the regular
establishment. to the ranks of major gen.
erals of volunteers. Several colonies and
lieutenant colonies have also been recon-
j n.ended to the President for appointment
as brigadier generals of volunteers.
In the number are Col Carpenter, 9Th
Cavalry: Lieut.. Col. Davis. 14th Infantry:
Col. Law ton and Major Darlington of the
inspector generals department: Lieut.. Coils.
Wagner and Macarthur of the adjutant
generals department. and Lieut.. Col. Lud-
low of the engineer Department.

A WAR DECLARATION.
There Was Some Delay In the Foreign
Relations Committee.

There Was Some Delay in the Foreign
Relations Committee.
The Senate committee on foreign rela-
lions met at IL o'clock and Immediately
took up the question of a declaration OF
war.
The committee adjourned to meet again
after the Presidents message was received
without reaching an absolute agreement as
to the form of resolution to be reported.
The message was referred to the commit
tee on motion of Senator Davis. The COM
mittee met at once. There was some dis
cussion of the old abandoned proposition
Of recognizing the republic of Cuba at this
time. To the great annoyance Of most of
tn. committee the objection was raised
that there ought to be no declaration that
war existed until the republic of Cuba had
frs. been recognized and opposition to the
resolutions was threatened on that account.
At 100 pm. 1t was stated by a member Of
the Senate committee on foreign relations
that no agreement Oh the form Of a war
declaration had been reached and that there
was liable to be considerable delay over it.
The committee, however, finally agreed to
report the war bill as passed by the House.
Senators Morgan and Turpie agreed to
the House war declaration, but they re-
served the right to amend in the Senate.
They want a recognition of the bslligerent
rights of the Cubans.

THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.
Uncertainty Whether Admiral Miller
Has Taken Them.

There is no certainty whether or not the
Hawaiian Islands have been taken by Ad-
niral Miller. Members of the foreign re-
latiOhS committees of Congress say that
they have no Information that the anneXa-
ton mas taken place. 1t is said. however.
that If it has not it will very soon, for the
reason that We are now deprived of base
of operations in the Pacific closer TO the
Philippine Islands than San Francisco. Our
vessels have left Hong Kong and under
the neutrality laws cannot return there
and make it the base of operations With
out the Hawaiian Islands, therefore, cur

into except on own coast. unless they
