tion that might prove to be valuable
In this line, and they will talk with
MIR. Holland over the details of his
scheme, probably on the basis of
compensation to be paid to him for
each Spanish vessel destroyed.
An important phase to the militar;
programme is decision not TO take
up the details of organizing new
force of rs 900 volunteers for 1T least
week or 10 days. If the regiments
under the first call are to be brought
up to their maximum strength, it will
take about ~, 900 men from the second
call to complete the l23 regiments
under the first call. This will leave
80, 900 men to be organized in dis
tinctly new regiments
The war department is anxious to
obtain the views of the governors Of
tue States and territories in regard TO
the filling to their maximum strength
the regiments already furnished by
them under the first call of the Prcsi-
dent for l25, 900 men and with this
object in view Adjutant General
Corbin, at the direction of Secretary
Aigcr, to-day seat telegramS asking
the several governors to make recon-
meudations to the department on this
subject. The question arose to day as
to whether colored officers as we'll as
colorcd troops be taken as part Of the
organizations offered. General Alger
at once decided that if colorcd com.
pany had efficient, soldierly colored
officers they were as much entitled to
recognition and acceptance in the mill
tary service az were the troops them
selves. ln this connection it dcvel-
oped that colored men are being con
sidered for some of the staff appoint-
ments and the surgeon general of the
army has accepted a coored man as
surgeon, with the rank Of captain.
The colored surgeo will be assigned
to colored regiment and colored off
GERS will be kept together as much as
possible.

NEW YORK, May ga special
dispatch to the Tribune from Wash
ingtnn says:
Orders have at last gone forward 10
Major Gen. Shafter at Tampa to en-
bark the greater portion of his corps,
including all the regulars and few of
the most efficient volunteer regiments
on board the transports gathered at
that place, and the aggressive military
movement, which has been SO fre-
quently predicted and as often de-
iayeu Tor one cause or another, will be
an accepted fact before the end of this
week. The strongest units of Admiral
Sampson 8 rcorganized squadron will
convoy the expedition aud cover its
landing at point now definitely
designated.
simultaneously the most rigid GEN.
sorship of press dispatches that has
30 far been undertaken by the Govern
ment will be put into operation at
Tampa and Key West tonight, and
no message relating to the movements
OF troops or ships or in any way spec
ulating upon the expedition will be
permitted on the wires. IF this means
of preventing publication Of informa-
tion which would be exceedingly
valuable to Spain is not fully success
full: the censorship will be promptly
extended to tae mails.
It can be confidently asserted that
beyond the Secretary Of War and the
Secretary of the Navy the President
will permit no civilian to enjoy lis
confidence in this matter un il a
landing on foreign territory shall have
been actually accomplished, and Gen.
Shafter himself will have sealed
orders, whose contents will be known
only to Gen. Miles and Gen. Corbin
until the expedition is safely at sea.
Admiral Sampson sole instructions
will be to guard The expedition and to
cooperate with Gen. Shafter under
the latter's direction.

A Gallant South Carolinian Again i'm

WAsmlNGwoN. u. c., May %. TX
Senator NJ. { Butler was to day ap-
pointed Major General of volun
teers. The President sent his pomi-
nation to the Senate, and that body
promptly conirmei their former assn-
ciatc without the formality of refer
ring the nomination to committee.
The selection Of Gen. Butler is gen
orally regarded as one of the best NJ :
my appointments the President has
made since the war with Spain com
mcnccd. Gen. Butler military cx-
perience, sagacity, ability and univcr-
sal popularity is recognized North and
South, and the President is receiving
many compliments for having chosen
the gallant South Carolinian for the
ran: nf Major General
His appointment. while gratifying.
is not surprise, for the President
stated several weeks ago, when The
entire membership Of the Senate
united in an endorsement Of Gen.
Butler for Major General commls-
sion. that the veteran cavalry leader
Of the Palmetto State would be COM
missioncd should there be q second
call for volunteers.
One of the pleasing Incidents of
Gen. Buffers appointment was the
active and cordial support given him
by his old political antagonist, Scna-
tor Tillman. The latter strongly
urged Gen. Butler selection, and he
made several visits 10 the White
House and the war department in his
behalf. While it was not necessary
to bring any particular pressure to
bear upon the President to promote
Gen. Buffers interests. it is ncvcrthc-
less gratifying to the friends of Scna-
that the political hatchet was buried
IL the interest of State pride and the
recognition Of one of the best soldiers
tn. State ever produced.
Another well known Southcrncr tho
was appointed brigadier generals Gov
ernor Oates, Of ALBANIA. He is al
most as well known in South Carolina
and Georgia as in his own State. He
lost arm in the war, was u familiar
figure in Congress for several terms,
and has since been Governor of his
State for two terms
Two Gcorgians were on to day list
Que Of these was DR.. Bourns, Of At
lanta, who is appointed chief surgeon
with the rank of major, the other OLto
Becker, who is appointed pay master
with the rank of captain. Gen. hicr-
rtt has made application for Dr.
Bourns to be assigned to his staff, aud
that will doubtless be soon. He is
given the appointment because Of his
familiarity with the Philippines.
1t is announced that another batch
Of brigadiers will be sent to the Senate
early next week, aad that most Of
those thu = appointed will come from
the Southern States. While Georgia
has been given q brigadier and Ala
bama, South Carolina and Virginia
have been honored with major general
ships, the great bulk Of appointments
have come from the Northern States.
The President has said that he in
tends to even up things in the future.

Counted Chickens Before HatchIng.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The mill
tary situation as H. present deter
mined upon by those in authority is
to make no forward movement of
troops either upon Porto Rico or Cuba
until further and definite information
IL received as to the location of the
Spanish squadron and its possibilities
as factor in the aggressive move
ments Of Spain.
For the last few days army circles
have shared public 6yiief that the
Spanish ships we're trapped in Santiago
harbor, aud that has given impetus 70
arrangements by which large bodies Of
troops at Chiokamsuga ard elsewhere
might be moved forward rapidly to
Tampa for embarkation. The presence
Of 30 or more transports in Florida
waters added to the conviction .het
movement on large scale ,as about
to occur. All this has been going on
with the understanding that Admiral
Cervera g career as a possible menace
in the rear of our troops had heen cut
off by his being securely held in San
tiago harhor, but in the absence of
positive information on this point
there is no purpose whatever on the
part of the war department to make
an aggressive forward movement on
Cuba or Porto Rice. This was stated
tonight in the most positive manner
and from an authoritative source.
1t can be again affirmed on the high
est authority and notwithstanding all
rumors to the contrary, that at the
close of the day the department had
nothing moro than belief, founded
on unofficial advices. that the Spanish
squadron wae lying in Santiago mar
her. and &c :.sws - 10 Commodore
Schley's whereabouts. However. the
great majority Of the officials Of the
navy department entertain no doubt
that Cervera is within Santiago har-
Dor, and they have succeeded in i'm
pressing this belief upon the President
and members of the cabinet.
It was announced to-day that Hol-
land, the inventor of the submarine
boat of that name. was expected here
tomorrow TO discuss with Capt.
ONeil. chief Of the ordnance, the
feasibility Of using the novel craft in
an attack upon the Spanish squadron
at Santiago, If the vessels are still
there. The officials are disposed to

"You may Ere when ready, Grid
ley" That phrase Of Commodore
Dewey's, as che Olympia, steaming
slowly, was getting the range of her
guns on the Spanish feet, is likely to
be long quoted and widely remembered.
Surely it breathes coolness, caro-, con-
fidence, in the face Of an enormous
pressing responsibility. Compare it
with the thunder it instantly awaken
cd, the tremendous forces it let loose,
the terrible destruction that followed,
and you will find it the most typical
Amerioanism OF the quarter century.
Mark, too, its politencss, as we'll as its
