Great Volunteer Army Mustered In
for the Cuban War.
koJ,nAs earftkyl
Washington special:

" kA1C ~
Washington special:
Nearly the whole of the 5000 volun-
teers have now beer mustered in. There
will yet be slight delay in filling out some
Of the quotas. but the great volunteer
army Is substantially complete.
The army is not yet in condition for anI
immediate forward movement, however.
Not all of the volunteers intended for the
invading army have gotten as far as
Chickamauga, and fewer have arrived at
Tampa. The war managers have found
the national guards woefully deficient in
arms, ammunition, uniforms and other
equipments, and artillery batteries are
reported without guns, carriages, horses
or harness. The wal department is bend
ing all its energies to r%emedying these de-
%ficiencics, but it takes time. 1t has es-
tablish a supply depot at Chickamau-
gu, and will probably have another at
Washington.
The war department finds the country
is short on the modern arms adopted by
the regular army. 1t finds difficulty also
In getting ratiOns promptly because Of
the unexpected emergency. Some of the
Chicago packers even went so far as to

been sent to England. In foreign coun-
tries, where large standing armies are to
be counted ON all the time, there is am
pie provision for meeting the demands Of
the soldiers.
There is a tendency to criticize the
President and the war department. for the
slowness with which the volunteer army
is being organized, but neither of them is
to blame. The President will insist on
having the raw recruits properly equip
ped organized into brigades, divisions and
corps before ordering a movement on
Cuba. Military men say this MAJ take
two or three weeks, but the government
is applying Yankee energy to push the
work as rapidly as possible. This frank
statement of the unsatisfactory condi-
ton in which the national guard has been
found must not be taken as IL reflection
on the patriotic militiamen. They have
given their time and money to the SER
vice and are now Offering their lives. and

Information has been received Mt Key

the encounter occurred between Spanish
soldiers on shore and the c~ablc-cutt;ng
expedition which resulted in the death of
two and the w%ounding of five Americans.
The Cuban city was panic-stricken, the
church bells We're rung and the alarms
were sounded OH all sides. At the Hotel

SPANISH CABINET QUITS.
Members of the saxasta Ministry All
Resign.


All the members of the Spanish cabinet
have resigned. The liberal cabinet un-
der Sagasta was formed shortly after the
death Of Canovas Del Castillo. who was
assassinated Aug. 8. 1897, by an Italian
anarchist named Coli. Gen. Azcarrnga,
the then minister of war, was first ap-
pointed president of the council and for
n time the cabinet remained unchanged.
But Sept. 20 it resigned and Sagasta as
sumed office Oct. 4, confronted by the
troubles in Cuba and in the Philippine
Islands.
The minister of marine, Admiral Ber-
meJo; the minister of war, Gen. Correa,
aud especially the minister for the colo
MES were repeatedly attacked in parlia-
ment and out of it and rumors Of %resigna-
tons rendered or to be rendered were in
dustriously circulated. The difficulty. it
appears, is to find men who are willing
to assume office under the conditions
which now prevail in Spain. An empty
treasury, internal disorders and the loss
of the Philippine Islands, Cuba and Porto
Rico are not the only problems confront
ing Spanish ministers, and it is not as
tonlshing that under the circumstance a
military dictatorship under possibly Mar
sinai Martinez Campos has been discussed,
The 4lew Spanish cabinct has been form
ed as follows:

Manila report, Spanish troops met no OPP
position on landing, the rebels having ab-
seconded before a shot was fired, taking
with them. it is said, 100000 in cash.
About thirty natives were killed in the
bombardmcnt, but no European casual
ties are reported. Ccbu, which ranks
third in the cities in the Philippines, was
wrecked by the bombardment. A mass,,-
ere of rebels by the Spanish also preceded
Admiral Dcwey's arrival.

AT SANTIAGO!
ARMADA EvAoes SAMPSON AND
REACHES PORT.
Madrid Report Gas. Spanish ship.
Have Reached Harbor on South Coast
of cuba-Admiral Sampson Joins
schley and His Flying Squadron.
Now for a Battle.

a report Friday from Santiago de Cuba
by the way Of Madrid said that the Span
ish fleet has reached that port in safety.
While this news might have been given
out for the purpose of confusing, 1t agreed
with another dispatch from Kingston,
Jamaica, stating that a feet Of warships
had been seen from Morant Point, on the
east extremity Of the island, passing north
toward Santiago de Cuba. j..
Cervera could have but two purposes in
putting into Santiago de Cuba. The first
would be to get coal, of which Spain may
have a supply there. The second, to re-
lieve the Spanish garrison of 10000
troops stationed there, who have been
practically cut off from Blanco and from
all supplies since the blockade of Cienfue-
COS. These troops were dependent on the
coasting fleet for their supplies, as there
Is no railroad connection between Santi-
& aud Havana, and the country be-
tween Is held by the insurgents. 1t would
be a natural move of the Spanish admiral
to try to relieve this garrison and supply
1t, or remove the troops, If he considered
that could be done without meeting the
American fleet, for there has been no
blockade at Santiago.
Sampson at Key West.
Rear Admiral Sampson, with the divis-
ion of the North Atlantic squadron under
his command which attacked San Juan,
Porto Rico, returned to Key West, where
he effected n junction with the flying
squadron. He has under his orders the
battleships Iowa, Indiana and Massachu-
sets, second-class battleship Texas and
armored cruisers Brooklyn and New York,
which makes him superior by two armor
clads to the Spanish fleet.

A Is
Doesn't Like the Speech Made BY 1o,.
eDh Chamberlain.

The speech made by Mr.. Joseph Cham
berlain, the British colonial minister, at
Birmingham Friday night, has produced
very unfavorable comment in Madrid.
His references to Spain have created a
bad impression. Prime Minister Sagasta
and Senior Gullon, minister of foreign af-
fairs, held a conference on the subject,
after which Senior Sagasta said: III we
had said what Mr.. Chamberlain said En-
rope would have regarded lis as reckless"
Both the prime minister and Senior Gullon
believe the speech indicates that a war
is being prepared for with an Anglo-Amer-
lean alliance.

is reported that a party of rebels attacked
the Americans near Cavite, killing some
of them and driving the others out of the
villages. They removed the American
flag and replaced it with the Spanish. Ac.
