Attack on Havana to He Deferred for
Some Time.
New York, May 31.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Not until an army Of 100000 men is
thoroughly organized, drilled and
equipped will the main invasion of
Cuba take place. This is President
McKinley's decision after carefully
considering all the conditions and the
difficulties which the army would en-
counter In attacking the Spanish
stronghold at Havana. When this
army will start is question which
has not yet been decided. The prog
ress Of events made 1t necessary, how
ever, to send an expedition to Manila,
Porto Rico and Santiago de Cuba In
advance Of the main expedition against
Havana. As a consequence, the regu-
lars left for the main expedition
against Havana will form very small
part of the invading army. volun-
teers must be relied on almost entire
ly. 1t is highly probable that the ex-
pedition will not embark for Havana
till near the end Of the rainy season.
General Miles proposes at the conclu-
sion of his tour to join the army in the
field In person and devote himself to
its organization and equipment, while
General Merritt, General Shafter and
General Brooke are conducting the Op-
erations at Manila, Santiago de Cuba
and Porto Rico.

COST OF THE WAR.
In . Year It VIII Have Amounted TO $500
100000.

Washington, June Three hundred
to five hundred millions more than the
original estimate will be necessary
to conduct the war for a year, is the
opinion of experts.
The deficiency now reaches 1925 200,
600, and the end is not yet The first
figures were based on the assumption
that much less than a year would be
required to show Spain her error. Now
the bases Of computation have been
altered. Forty millions Of expense
will be incurred, Congressman Cannon
roughly estimates, by adding the TO-
600 troops Of the second call to those
mustered under the first.
The $3.50, 900 which Secretary Al
ger a month ago estimated would cover
the extraordinary expenses Of the war
department next year, will fall short
Of the needs. So, too, the estimate OF
$75, 100000 for the naval department
will be found inadequate. This Is
what the financial experts and expense
sOothsayers assert.
1T may be set down." said mem-
ber Of the committee on appropriation,
that the expenditures on account Of
the war for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1899, with the closing months OF
the present year, will more nearly
reach $500, 900 than the $3.50, 900, 900
originally offered by Secretary Gage as
the probable years cost"

Ject was submitted figured one and
half millions daily two months hence.
as an inside estimate of the cost. DIFF
ferent clothing, camp and garrison
equipage and an army ration arranged
on an entirely new system, and at an
advanced cost, will be found necessary
in tropical campaigns. Already the
deficiency totals, in round numbers,
$225, 100000, and the new estimates are
not all in.

Spends u ,OOO, 900 For Hospitals.

New York, June 3.-The government
has paid more than $1,OOO.OOO for the
two hospital ships, the Solace and the
Relief. The price paid to the Crom-
well line for the Creole, which is now
the Solace, was learned to-day to be
5000, 900, making a total Of 81 ,O5O, 600
for the two hospital vessels.
The estimated cost to the War De-
partment for fitting up the Relief is
$4,000, in addition to many things
which are to be presented by various
organizations. An army officer said
that about twice as much had been
expended in fitting up the Solace, as
the Navy Department had a special
appropriation for the purpose, and al
so greater facilities for doing work on
ships, as 1t controlled the navy yards.
The total expense Of procuring and
equipping the two vessels will not be
far from $1,25O,OOO. 1t is stated that
II an expedition is sent to Porto Rico
another hospital ship will be needed.

They Get the Worst of 1t In = Big Rain
Storm at Tampa.


Storm at Tampa.
Tampa, Fla, June 1.-The rainy sea-
son began in Tampa to-day with a
downpour which tested guy ropes and
tent pegs. The overture lasted an
hour, but the real Florida shower
which broke loose Just as the camp
cooks were stirring the bacon and
grinding the coffee lasted several
hours. 1t gave the brownies" the

of the coming days in Cuba, provided
this force shall pitch Its tents on the
island before October. The brown

rain for weeks, and their wait was

allied to-day.

unteers, eager and anxious to be
recognized as seasoned veterans, had
thOughtfully and carefully dug
trenches around their tents and had
loosened their guy ropes when the
dark clouds began to bank up on the
horizon.

End of Letters Wheat Deal.

Chicago, May 31.-Leiter's famous
deal was formally closed to-day. The
last moments were lively, and Joseph
Letter, to all appearances, was mas
ter Of the situation. AS If to empha-
size his command Of the market, Lei
ter sent May wheat down from $1.75
to $1.25. This move was plainly for
the purpose of evading the big re-
ceipts and to circumvent the 'tailers,"
who wanted to ring I'M a lot of
wheat on Letter at fancy prices. Lei
ter fooled them by putting the price
down. Nevertheless he had to take
on board another $4,000 bushels to-
day In addition to the pile of five or
six million bushels which he still has
on his hands. All attempts to place
Letter, SO far as his profits and losses
are concerned, at the elimination of
this gigantic deal, are widely at vari-
ance. Some claim that he will pocket

others Insist with knowing glances
that he will be fortunate II he comes

VAN WYCK-DiCTATOR.
New Yor1's Mayor Is Creating n Great
fIu5bub I, the Metropolis.

New YorA's Mayor Is Creating oroas
fIu5bub In the Metropolis.
New York, June 2.-Mr. Van Wyck,
the first mayor of Greater New YORK,
has proved a most disagreeable sur
prise all around and if he continues
his present policy much longer ne
will demoralize Tammany as tnor
oughly as he has disturbed the rest OF
the population.
A few short months only have been
needed TO demonstrate to the satis-
faction of all concerned that there
was a serious mistake in the selection,
and Mr. Croker has gone TO Europe
to hide his chagrin, for although his
loyalty to Tammany Is not ques-
toned, Mayor Van Wyck has proved
to be a man of despotic disposition
and to possess an independence as au-
tocratic and an individuality MS
marked as that Of the great sacnem.
He is rendering faithful service 10 the
organization that elected him, but he
does 1t in his own way, at his own
time, and selects his own 1nstru-
ments without regard to the opinions
or the preferences of the men who
placed him in power.
Mayor Van Wyck began his official
career by removing all the members
of the many boards and commissions
by which New York has for years
been governed and substituting men
of his own who were willing to sub
NIT to his dictations and obey his Or
ders. Some of the boards and com
missions believe themselves beyond
his Jurisdiction, having been created
by the legislature and appointed by
the governor of the state. and have
appealed to the courts to protect them
in their official capacity, but Judge
Van Wyck has not been intfmidated
by this movement. Whether he will
be sustained or not is n question, but
his confidence in his own authority is
mistaken.
His next step was to revise and re-
woke the regulations governing the
civil service of the municipality SO as
to bring the subordinate officials under
his control. Then he attacked the
financial system of the several bor-
oughs comprising the city of Greater
New York, discrediting loans that
have been made from time to time
during the last several years for pub
lie improvements and other purposes,
suspending the payment of interest,
so that some of the bonds issued at
par are HOW uuOleu dt ~ celitS Ou tue
dollar and will need an act of the leg
islature to restore their value.
His last act was to overhaul the po-
lice. He removed the three bipartisan
commissioners and appointed in their
places men who will obey his orders.
He removed the superintendent, Mr..
McCullagh, and placed at the head of
the force a captain named Devery,
who Is devoted to Tammany and will
serve its interests. This was a direct
blow at the election system of the
city, because the bureau of elections
Is part of the police organization,
and unless something is done to de-
prive him of the power Mayor Van
Wyck may be able to control the next
state and presidential elections.
The Republicans and reformers have
become so thoroughly frightened that
they are now appealing to the gov
ernor to call special session of the
legislature for the purpose of cutting
Mayor Van Wyck's wings.

SECOND GALL FoRvoLUNrEERs
Ad1utant General Corbin Ii Now Making

Adjutant General Corbin Is Now Making
Out the Necessary Details.
Washington, May 81. Adjutant
General Corbin is now working out
the details Of the second call for vol
unteers. Communications from the
governors of the several states re
ceived by the adjutant general indi-
cate clearly that they approve of the
plan to recruit the regiments from
their states up to the maximum
strength out of the second call. As
heretofore indicated in the Associated
Press dispatches, this necessary re-
cruiting will absorb about 5000 men,
leaving about 25,0OO to be organized
into additional regiments. 1t is the
purpose of the War Department Off
cials to recruit existing regiments up
to maximum strength of 1925 men,
In twelve companies. 1t is not expect
ed to assemble the recruits in state
camps. Officers from each regiment
Will be detailed for recruiting duty
and the work of recruiting the quota
OF each state under the second call
will proceed precisely as it does reg
ularly. AS fast as the men are re
cruited they will be examined and
sent forward to join the regiments to
which they will be assigned. The
new recruits will be assigned to regi-
ments Of their own states and, SO far
as possible, the companies and regi-
ments which represent the sections of
the states in which they reside. Thus
recruits Will be among friends and ac-
quaintances and not among strangers.
Only after the existing regiments
have been recruited up to the maxi
mum strength will new regimental or
ganizatiOns be formed.
