sentiments in regard to the war be-
tween Spain and the United States
have considerably changed during the
past month. A member of his majesty's
court informs the correspondent of the
Associated Press that the persistent
statements of the American and Brit
ish press "often coupled with insulting
comment, alleging that the emperor
intends to actively interfere in behalf
of Spain and imputing to his majesty
sentiments which were actually foreign
to him at the opening of hoStilitieS, -
have greatly annoyed the emperor, and
the constant reiteration of the errone-
GUS statements as to Germany'S official
attitude being unfriendly to the United
States have displeased Emperor Will
lam exceedingly.
The informant of the correspondent
of the Associated Press continued:
After the repeated official assurances
which our government has given of its
intention to maintain the most strict
and most loyal neutrality, his
majesty's brief but pointed declaration
to the same effect in a speech from the
throne, at the closing of the reichstag,
in which he testified TO the unbroken
friendship between the two countries,
it is downright folly to speak of Ger
many'S Interior motives in connection
with the war. There has not been a
single act or word from the govern
ment which could be construed as I'M
friendly to the United States, nor has

SCARCITY OF TRANSPORTS.
Government May Be Obliged to Char
ter Foreign Vessels.

Washington, June 1S.-It begins to
look as if the war department might
have some difficulty in obtaining the
necessary transports for the Porto
Rico expedition unless some of those
which have been sent to Santiago are
utilized for that purpose. An earnest
appeal was made to the coastwise
companies to favor the war department
and submit propositions looking to
the charter of such vessels. The re-
plies to the governments kilograms
have been far from satisfactory, as
the steamship companies feel that they
already have gone as far ds practicable
in surrendering their ships to great
loss and bring their business almost to
a StandStill. 1t is acknowledged by
the war department officials that the
vessel owners up to this time have
been very considerate and have
chartered TO the government a num-
Der of their best vessels, and regret
is expressed that all that are needed
cannot be secured. In this dilemma
the department has been obliged to
resort to ships of foreign register in
the transport service and a number of
English bottoms are now under inspec-
ton.
Congress will be asked to give an
American register to vessels so Sc
cured. Che owner is benefited thereby,
as after the war they may engage in
the coastwise trade in competition
with American built vessels.

which artillery may be placed. The
ordnance will be debarked soon after
the landing, in order to give adequate
protection to the troops, if such neces-
sity should arise.
The landing proper, it is calculated,
will take at least 10 or u hours after
the army engineers have done their
work This work of the engineers Will
come first, and will consist of putting
together an elaborate DOntoon bridge,
much more elaborate than that usually
employed for the crossing of rivers, and
amounting to temporary pier. Officers
who took part in the departure of Cen
eral Skaters forces say everything was
calculated TO facilitate the debarkation.
The arrangements of divisions and OF
individual ships in divisions was made
with special reference to keeping reSi-
ments together and getting supplies to
them when the landing was made.
When part of a regiment is on one ship,
the other part viii follow on the next
ship.
The supplies. pack trains, etc, also
are rs near as possible to the f-ooDs
requiring them. The officials have not
even omitted to calculate on a failure
to work the pontOOn pier. and they are
prepared for a landing through the surf,
if need be. although this is not antici-
Pated. The beach is low and sandy,
shallow far out, ard is, therefore, well
calculated for such a landing.

SKATERS LANDING.
Every Arrangement Made to Facili.
tate Debarkation of the Troops.


Washington, June 1S.-For the mo-
ment of landing of General Skaters
army of invasion on Cuban soil is the
subject of interest in army and naval
circles. Despite conflicting reports, it
is stated with definiteness by high Of
fcials that the big transport procession
has moved eastward around Cape May
81, and not by the western route around
Point Antonio. The route taken is eX-
pected to bring the troops to the place
of debarkation by tomorrow, unless
some unforeseen delay has occurred.
and the arrival may be before that.
How the troops will land, whether I'M
der fire from the Spaniards or unin-
terruptedly, is the chief topic of spec
ulation among military men.
Some of the officers who have just
came from Tampa and are familiar
with General Skaters plan say that
preparations have been made to meet
either contingency, a peaceful Landing
or one under fire.
In case of a landing under fire, con-
siderable dependence will be placed
upon General Garcia and General Raol
The specific instructions sent by Cen
eral Miles to Garcia covered in detail
the landing of the American forces
Garcia was to harass and engage the
Spanish bands, and see that reinforce
ments were not sent to Santiago, and
the points where the American troops
will LAID.
Another important point in General
Miles orders were to gain possession OF
suitable points around the landing on

as to be ready promptly for transpor-
tation purposes. Some difficulty is be-
ing encountered by the department in
obtaining vessels and it may be that
resort to impressment will be neces-
s2rv-
The proposals received by General
Egan Wednesday from the various
meat dressing establishments of the
country contemplated that the govern
ment should furnish the vessels. After
they have been obtained refrigerating
apparatus will have to be installed to
keep the meat fresh and palatable dur
ing and after its shipment to Cuba
and until it is furnished to the troops.
General Egan says refrigerated meat
only can be satisfactorily used for
feeding the troops, as experience has
shown that cattle killed the day before
and left over night are not edible.

Especial to The Herald.)


Fort Russell, Wyo, June 1S.-The
Union Pacific has ben awarded the
contract for transporting the Torrey
regiment and the routing will be via.
Omaha instead of Kansas City, as ex-
pected. We shall probably leave here
next Wednesday or Thursday. Men
and horses will be loaded together,
about two troops to the train. so that
tie horses may be taken carr Of. 1t is
expected that the trains will be run
an hour part. A light headquarters
train will be the last to leave, and the
first to make stopping points, where
horses will be attended stop VIII
have to be made every "a hours.
The chief .quartermaster at Denver
advises Colonel Torrey that the rail
road company will be ready to send out
the first train sc hours after notification
of the award of the contract.
The news has not been published in
the post yet, but there will undoubtedly
be wild time as soon as it is learned
that the date of departure is approx
mately fixed.
Tomorrow being Sunday. there will
be no drill, but the colonel has advised
the troop commanders that there will
be a ride with the colonel which, it
is understood, will be a practice march
across the Laramie plains.
Every remaining horse on the picket
line will be issued to the various troops,
pro rata, tonight. together with neces-
sary sadles, brides, saddle blankets
etc, SO that in the ride with the col
onel" in the morning there will be
nearly 7C0 horses. / troop Will turn out
about 60.
The Utah troop, in common with the
balance of the regiment, knows what
it is to be busy. having drilled three
hours and a half mounted, and the
same length of time on foot today, and
this, in connection with the care of
horses and other necessary fatigue duty !

Chickamauga National Military Park.
June 1S.-The First regiment, Georgia
infantry. LOCO officers and men. in u
companies. under Colonel NJ. r. Law
ton of Savannah. arrived in the city
early today, and shortly after break
fast was transferred to the park. The
regiment has been encamped at Griffin,
Ga. for several weeks, and is in first
ciSss condition. The men are all well
uniformed, ard fairly well equipped.
Battery a. First Georgia artillery, ac-
companied the regiment. The members
of this command are well equipped and
in good shape. They have been con-
stantly engaged in exercise and drill
for several weeks during their encamp-
ment at Griffin. This is one of the
crack southern regiments, being organ
lied from one of the southern artillery
organizations which saw hard service
and behaved with great gallantry dur
ing the civil war.
Inquiry among the regiments at the
park has developed that the system of
carrying acquisitions and requests to
army headquarters through a long list
Of sub-headquarters is causing delays
which often hamper the commanding
officers and discourage cherished plans.
a prominent reSlmenIdl OI1cef, VINO
was questioned about the system, said
that in his opinion there ought to be
more short cuts to bring about prompt
results. He illustrates by taking one
item which a regiment might be in
need of, the prompt receipt of which
would be highly beneficial to the prog
ress of the regiment. To obtain it
there is almost an endless round
through which the papers must go.
Perhaps by the time reply reaches
the command the war is half over. and
everybody has been worsted. Instead
of having time TO get in efficient work
in training the volunteers it is sug
gested that the time in taken up in
answering papers and n attending TO
the routine Of clerical work.
The regiments are also feeling rather
seriously the detailing of so many men
to the hospitals and to the various
headquarters for duty. Principally for
this cause, in one regiment yesterday
only IS members of one company were
able to report for duty.

1T is difficult to understand the train

DEMONSTRATION AT MANILA.
In contrast to the above official ut
terance, there are a variety of indica-
tons in regard to the Philippines The
officials of the foreign office say Ger
many's strong naval display at Manila
is made merely to protect German sub
jects and a part of the press adopts
the same attitude, based on the for
eign office statement saying the i'm
putation that Germany meant to inter
fere in the American operations or in
the American occupation of the Philip
pine islands is baseless, as Germany's
naval force there is altogether too
small for such a purpose
Nevertheless, many editorials are
couched in quite a different spirit For
instance the Marine Politische Core
spondeZ, which has close relations with
the government, says it expects that
the concentration of the German
forces will have permanent results"
and advocates Germany obtaining from
the republic of the Philippines" a
point dappui, similar to the German
base of operations at Kiao Chou bay
while the Vossische Zetung says:
THE presence of a powerful interna-
tional fleet at Manila doubtless means
not only the protection of the European
population but the protection of the
interests of the powers, which have to
safeguard their advantages and pre-
vent injury to their interests acquired
in the past and prevent the Philippines
being torn from Spain.
Germany and Russia, France, Eng
land ard Japan will not supinely sub
init to see the future of the Philippines
led into new paths, nor Will they relin-
quish the right to cooperate in such a
new group of foreign interests.
The Kreuz Zeitung. the main Con-
sentative organ, and a paper which is
in close touch with the government,
after claiming the United States cannot
possibly want the Philippines, says:
This will naturally result in the
philippines being restored to Spain by
the Americans. But it is doubtful
whether, at the close of the war, Spain
will be strong enough to keep any col
onies, and it is also doubtful If the
islands will be able to govern them
selves, so, in any case, there will be
difficulties. the final outcome of which
ii is impossible to foresee."

INSULTING CARTOONS.
ITALIAN MINISTERS RESIGN.
Feared That This Action Foreshad-
ows Grave Events.

Rome. June 1S.-In the chamber of
deputies today the premier, the Mar
Quis di Rudini, announced that the
ministry. which was formed only on
May 81, had resigned.
Amidst considerable excitement the
Marquis di Rudini said that, after con-
side-ing the parliamentary situation,
and in order not to prejudice a grave
public question, the ministers had
placed the designations in the hands of
the king. who reserved the right of
decision relative to their acceptance, a
remark which was greeted with muir
murs.
Continuing. the marquis said the
ministry would remain in office for the
present in order to attend to routine
business and safeguard public order
He then begged the chamber to sus-
pend its sittings. The request was met
with shouts of mol Mo-!
After the minister for war; Signor
San Mariana, had made a speech eulo-
giving the army, the request of the
Marquis di Rudini that the chamber
suspend its sittings for the present,
was approved and the chamber adj
journed. 1t is generally thought that
the resignation of the ministry fore
shadows grave events.
