Another Call for Volunteers.

Washington, June 20.-The President
will issue early next week n third call
for troops. The exact number TO be
called for has not been determined.
but ther seems to be no doubt that nt
least 100000 will be invited to enlist.
The War Department estimates that
80, 900 troops will be needed in Santa
go province, 125.00O in Havana prov
ince, 10000 in Cienfuegos and vicini-
ty, 10000 in Porto Rico and GO,OO0 in
the Philippines.
A reserve force of 100000 Is held to
be essential for retention in this coun-
try. The President is convinced that
the estimates of American strength
needed for subjugating Cuba have
been short. He has been much I'M
pressed with Shafter's expedition IN
Santiago, and assumes that the condi-
tlons existing there will be found to
pervade other parts of the country.

PASSED THE MERRiMAC.
Tho vesuvius Discovers That IIobson Did
Not Block tho Channel.


New York. June 25.-A cable to the
Herald, dated of Snntingo, Friday, on
the Herald dispatch boat Golden Rod,
to Port Antonio, Jamaica, says:
II has remained for the dynamite
cruiser Vesuvius to demC.istrate that
the entrance to Santiago harbor was
rot completely blocked by the sink
ing of the Merrimac. While poking
her nose about the entrance to the har-
Dor n few nights ago, the Vesuvius dis
covered ample room In which to pass
the wreck of the Merrimac. She went
In, made observations along the inner
harbor and then came back to sea,
getting around the wrecked collier
without difficulty.
Not only did the dynamite cruiser
pass the wreck. while deconnoitering
about the outer forts the other night,
but 1t gave Admiral Sampson news
which resulted In closer eXamina-
ton of the wreck as II now lies. 1t has
been asserted that two battleships can
enter the harbor abreast, one passing
to the right and the other to the left
Of the Merrimac wreck. This Is an OPP
portunity that will be of great ad-
vantage to Admiral Sampson when the
final attack on Santiago begins.
Lieutenant Hobson and his men are
still in communication with the fleet.

THE "WHIP LASH" ROUTE.
Celebration of the Completion of tho New
Railroad to Ward.

Railroad to Ward.
Denver, June 29.-A new scenic line
has been added to the railroads of
Colorado-one which in many re-
spects is surpassed by none in the
state. For over year an army of en-
gineers and laborers have been en-
gagged in building the new line of
harrow gauge known rs the Colorado
& Northwestern, from Boulder to
Ward The distance is only twenty
six miles, but the elevation in that
distance Is nearly 1000 feet. The
track BOASTS of being the most crook
ed of any in existence, and of having
the shortest curves and steepest
grades. Yesterday its completion was
celebrated by the people of Ward.
Several hundred invited guests We're
present from Denver and Boulder, in
Guiding Governor Adams and other
state officers. They were carried on
three special trains from Boulder, and
although all of them had had much
experience on mountain railroads they
were charmed and astonishcd at the
marvellous beauties continually un-
folded before them for the entire dis
tance.

CAN'T BUY COAL,
Cumara's Fleet l. StIli at Port Sal,

Cumara's Fleet Is stlli at Port Said.
New York. June 27.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from Cairo. Egypt, says:
Admiral Camara has asked to be al
lowed to purchase 10000 tons of coal
for the Spanish fleet ut Port Said, but
the Egyptian government refuses to
permit the ships to coal in Egyptian
waters.
Pending deliberations which are like
ly to last n long time, the fleet intends
to remain ut Port Said.
The Egyptian government has in
structed its authorities at Port Said to
prevent the 100 stokers engaged there
by Admiral Camara for his fleet from
embarking on Spanish ships, and cour-
teously Informed Admiral Camara that
so doing would be an infringement of
the laws of neutrality which Egypt in
tends vigorously to observe.

NEGRO OFFICERS.

Tho Experiment Is to Bc Tried on Con.
siderable Scale In the New Volunteers.
New York, June pa special to the
Times from Washington says:
When the mastering in of new Or
ganiZations under the second call is
completed. the volunteer army will in
clude between 5000 and 10000 negro
soldiers, and more negro officers than
were ever before in the service of the
United States.
In furnishing officers for these col
ored commands the War Department
has had serious problem to deal with.
1t is the Presidents desire to give the
negroes n representation rs officers.
In the last war. when there were o.
TS9 negro troops-three years men-in
the Federal army, the officers We're
white men.
The experiment of negro regiment
wholly officered by negroes is to be
tried in the case of the North Carolina
regiment. whose colonel will be col
ored mnn. and the only one of that
rank in the army. In the Alabama
regiment the officers will be white
men. In the immune negro regiments
there will be n mixture. the colonels
and other field officers and the captains
being white. and the lieutenants and
other lesser officers black.
Army officers regard the offering
of negro regiments with negroes as an
experiment which may or may not
turn out well. The negro needs to be
led well, they say, to make good
fighter, and there is some doubt
whether colored troops WIFI follow one
of their own race as well as they
would n white officer.

In the Wrong Place.

A characteristic story of General
Scott is told in connection with the
sword presented to him by the state
of Louisiana, through the legislature,
at the close of the Mexican war. He
was accosted one day by a man who
said, General Scott, had the honor of
doing most of the work on that sword
presented to you by the state of Louisi-
ana. I should like to ask if it was
just as you would have chosen" Its
very fine sword, sir, a very fine sword
indeed" said the general. II am proud
to have it. There is only one thing I
should have preferred different. The
inscription should have been on the
blade, sir. The scabbard may be taken
from us. but the sword. never" The
sword cost about five hundred dollars,
the principal expense being in the
scabbard, which was richly chased and
ornamented.

A photograph of the czarina nursing
