INSTRUCTIONS TO MERRITT.



New York, May 90.--The state de-
partment has mailed to Gen. Merritt
his exhaustive Instructions for the gov
crnme mt of the Philippines, says the
Washington correspondent OF the Trib-
unc. These embody not only full de-
tails for the control Of the military
and naval forces in establishing United
States sovereignty G|er the Philip
pines group, which were prepared by
the war and navy departments for
Incorporation in the instructions, but
are understood to cluthe the command
ing general with greater discretionary
powers than have ever up to this time
been granted to an agent of this gov
eminent.
Except in his relations with foreign
powers growing out of possible COM
plications in the East, which are to be
referred to Washington for negotiation.
Gen. Merritts control of affairs Will
he practically supreme. The instruc-
lions throughout bear every evidence
that the United States intends to re-
tain permanent control of the islands.
In this connection 1t Is understood
today that arrangements are already
being made 10 lay cable from san
Francisco by way of Hawii. directly
to Manila, and work should be under
taken as u matter of necessity the mo-
ment the authority for expenditure can
be secured from Congress.
BY direction Of the President formal
orders have been prepared for issue to-
day adding 5000 men to the department
of the Pacific under Gen. Merritt, In
creasing the force to 10000 men. While
Gen. Merritt was promised week ago
that this increase would be made II
possible, difficulties insu1mountable In
character were presented and II was
only upor he success achieved by the
war department yesterday in securing
the execution of certain contracts much
earlier than Anticipated that 1t was
found possible to redeem the promise
These related not only TO Transports
ton but arms, ammunition, uniforms
and other requisite equipment, 1t hav-
ing been feasible up to this time to Sc
cure these essentials for only l2,OVt
men.
Gen. Merritt was Informed last night
of the improved prospects for aug
menting his force and was requested IL
designate such additional volunteer
regiments from the East as he desired
for duty in the Philippines with the as
surance that his wishes would be re-
spected. 1t is understood that he con
templates asking for at least one regi
ment from New York, another from
Illinois and the District of Columbia,

MAKES HIS OFFICIAL REPORT.
AMERICAN COMMANDERS INTENTIONS


washington, May 30.-At 1890 o'clock
this (Nfonday) morning the navy de-
partment received u dispatch from
Commodore Schley announcing def
nitely that he had located Admiral Ger
vera's Cape Verde squadron in the bay
of Santiago de Cuba. The commodore
states that he has seen and recognized
the vessels of the Spanish fleet.
While the naval officials have been
moderately certain for several days
that Cervera's squadron was in the
harbor of Santiago, the official an
nouncement from Commodore Schley
was received by the officers on duty at
the department with intense satisfac,
ton, Assurance is now doubly sure
that the Spanish fleet is bottled up and
that the cork is in the bottle.
1t Is not believed that Admiral Ger
vera will attempt to escape from the
predicament in which he now finds
himself, as such course would surely
result in the destruction of his vessels
and the loss of many lives precious to
Spain. The suggestion Is made, how
ever, that the Spaniards may blow up
the ships rather than have them fall
into the hands of Schley, as they GER
tainly will II they remain In the har-
Dor.
The deilniteness of Commodore
Schley's dispatch would seem to indi-
cate that he has effected a landing
near Santiago and made personal in
vestigation Of the harbor. 1t would be
impossible from the entrance of the bay
definitely to see and recognize the
Spanish vessels, but by effecting a
landing at some point on either side of
the entrance, vantage point could be
gained very likely from which the en>
tire harbor, 1t Is believed, could
be examined. In all probable

taking In order to obtain the valuable
Information contained In his dispatch,

preston upon the news from Commo.
dore Schley. What effect the certainty
that Cervera Is practically helpless will
have on the plans of the naval board
with reference to the invasion of Cuba
can only be conjectured The trans
portation of land forces to the island,
1t is understood, was delayed because
ton of the Spanish squadron. If that
understanding is correct, the probable
ity of an early invasion of Cuba Is
strong It is not unlikely that the
movement of troops, which has been
delayed from time to time, will begin
this week, and that before the end of
the week the United States forces will
hay obtained substantial foothold
upon Cuban soil.
No Information is obtalnable as to
the intentions of Commodore Schley
Whether he will endeavor to force an
entrance to the bay and seek battle
with the Spanish squadron, is not
known, but such course at present is
not regarded as likely.
1t would be better in the opinion of
some naval officials, to keep Cervera
and his vessels safely in the harbur,
where they are as absolutely useless
ms they would be at the bottom of the
sea.

CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the chief cause of bladder trou-
bles. So the womb, like the bladder,
was CT Gated for one purpose, and if not
doctored too much is not liable to weak
ness or disease, except in rare cases.
1t is situated back of and very close to
the bladder, therefore any pain, disease
or inconvenience manifested in the
kidneys, back, bladder or urinary pas
sage is often, by mistake, attributed to
female weakness or womb trouble of
some sort. The error is easily made
and may be easily avoided. To find out
correctly, set your urine aside for TWEEN
