First Volunteer Engineers.

New York June 17-Physical and pro-
fessional examinations We're begun al the
headquarters of the First Volunteer En-
gineer Regiment. at No. 335 Broadway
yesterday. An unusually fine lot of men
presented themselves. This regiment,
which has such well-known men as Fitz-
hugh Lee. jr, Algernon Sartoris Will
lam B. Parsons. Aziel Ames. jr., and
the sons of Admiral Walker and Gen.
Gillespie among its officers, will also
have some distinguished names in the
ranks. Among them is w. l. Edison. a
son of Thomas \. Edison. Young Ed
ison is twenty-one years of age, and,
like his father. is an electrician. An
other recruit is Eugene Mitkiewicz. jr.,
from Plantsville. Conn, a son of Count
Eugene Mi:kiewicZ.
Gustave Ravene, assistant to Prof.
Boas. of the American Museum of Nat
ural History, and who had been in the
Royal Engineers Of Italy before coming
to this country, is also enrolled in the
regiment.
Some other candidates for enlistment
are:
William Stoneman, a civil engineer,
who has had three years experience in
the Duke of Cromwells Royal Volun-
teers.
Thomas Middlemass. an electrician, who
served as a trooper in the Second Life
Guards of the British army.
Kenneth Crawford. professional artist,
and a member of the Twenty-third Regi-
ment. of Brooklyn.
A. A. Cockrofte, associate member of
the American Society of Civil Engineers.
About forty men were examined yester-
day by DR.. L. l.. Seaman and by the re-
cruiting officers. Major James d. Fergu-
son and Captain Ira A. Shaler. The ex-
aminati were severe. Men who de-
clared they were civil engineers were
compelled to prove their statement under
fire of questions. The proportion of re-
jections was only about one in twenty
which indicates that an exceptional lot of
men volunteered for this regiment.
1t will take a week or ten days to eX-
anime all of the applicants. When a num-
ber have been enlisted they will be sent
in squads of twenty or thirty, in charge
of 4 sergeant, to the camp at Peekskill.
The first squad will be started Monday or
Tuesday next, and the regiment will be
mustered in when its full quota has been
assembled in camp.
Colonel Eugene Griffin will be in COM
mand.

GERMANY's INTENTIONS.

New York, June 1.-THE Herald pub
fishes the following, dated Paris, June
l6:
People here and in London are Won
dering why Germany is collecting
such a strong naval force off Manila.
With the arrival there Of the battle
ship Kaiser she will have four war
ships in those waters. There is COM
plement of 1000 men on the vessels
alone, in addition to a force Of ], 400 men
to be despatched to Cavite on the first
of next month by the North German
LLOYD transport Darmstadt. This has
attracted public attention.
Your dispatches from Berlin recent
ly disclosed a disposition on the part
Of Germany to participate in sharing
the cake won by American pluck. 1t
is felt that Germany may try to pre-
vent a change in the ownership of the
archipelago unless she receives some
compensation in the shape of naval
base.
On the other hand. England's inter
ests lie in seeing that Germany does
not score without an equivalent ad-
vantage for her. There is decided
Germany"
England looks calmly at the possi-
bility of America retaining the Islands
The increase in German influence in the
Far East, however, will be combated
enereetically, and complications Will
be the result.
Japan is said to covet a concession in
the Philippines. This desire is not re-
Earded favorably either in England or
in Germany. The former is said to con-
template the dispatch of naval forces
to the Philippines TO restore the pal
ance of Anglo-SaXon influence there.
What, however, comes out clearly Is
that Spain need not cherish hopes OF
profiting by German influence Snould
there be any 1t will be purely selfish.
Spain's sovereignty there is uniVers-
ally felt to be over The only salts
faction she is likely to get will be TO
See Europe snarling at one another all
through the American victory.
A curious indication of the feeling
that Spain's cause is hopeless is found
in the Temps leader tonight, which
speaks of Germany's desire to "estab-
lish a naval base in the Philippines
republic"
The Temps sees in this a good sub
ject for dispute between Washington
and Berlin, and condemns the eager
ness with which Spain seeks to in
gratiate herself with the triple alli-
ance by promising Germany naval
bases, coaling stations, cessions OF ter
ritcry in the archipelago. assistance in
the development of German come
mercial relations with Morocco,
treaty of commerce, etc.
The leader says: In any case 1t
would appear to depend upon Admiral
Diederichs, in conformity with orders
emanatins from Berlin. what is TO be
done with the Philippines. while re
establishment of the new republic may
only be permitted upon the condition
OF a port being ceded to Germany.

M. cAMBoN's KIND WORDS.
Friendly Relations Must be Maia-

Baltimore. June 1.-THE celebration Of
the golden jubilee of St. Charles Col
lege. Howard County, commenced We'd
nesday, was closed last night with a
banquet which was attended by many
distinguished persons, including M. Jules
Cambon, French ambassador to the
United States; Archbishop Sebastian
Martinelli. apostolic delegate; Cardinal
Gibbons. and ex-Gov. John Lee Carroll.
Cardinal Gibbons introduced the French
ambassador. who said: THE relations be-
tween your country and mine should be
the most cordial. / had some idea Of
your love of liberty. your order and your
patriotism, before coming among you.
but since i have been here have come
to admire your institutions more.
''The colonies may have gained their
independence without the assistance of
France. but I hardly think there is any
one who would deny that We materially
aided your cause with such men as La
fayette. Rochambeau and others.
These friendly relations between the
two great republics should be continued

Verdict of n COurt-MRrtiaI,

New York, June Irregular Army of
ficers, who were in hopes that the first
general court-martial of volunteers in the
present war charged with sleeping on
post would be an object lesson to all the
recruits in the service, were considerably
disappointed yesterday, when the result
of the trial of the two members of the
Third New Jersey Volunteers was posted
at Governors Island. Brigadier General
Frank. who returned the first findings of
the court for reconsideration, was unable
to approve of the final verdict in the case
of one of the men, and SO indorsed upon
the papers. but as the commanding officer
of a department; has no power to increase
the severity of the findings of a court
martial, the result will not be changed.
and one of the men stands acquitted.
while the other will be required to serve
three months at hard labor at Fort Han
cock.
The findings of the court and that of an
other court-mart:al that sat at Fort Slo>

Sergt. Wiseman admitted his guilt, but
Corp. Bedle declared that he was awake

said that the first finding of the court was
an acquittal for Bedie and a reprimand

back to the president of the court witha
sharp letter from Gen. Frank. asking for
a reconsideration Of both cases. The court
concluded to give Wiseman sentence
of three months. but declined to depart
