COUNCIL OF WAR HELD YESTERDAY
Plans Perfected to Strike Spain Ire
menduous Blow.

Washington, April 2O.-President Nc
Kinlsy, Gen. Miles and Secretary of War
Alger held council of war this afternoon
and discussed plans in detail for the occu-
patton of Cuba,
Word was sent to the chairmen Of the
military affairs committees of the Senate
and House, urging the prompt passage to-
morrow of the House volunteer bill. 1t
will undoubtedly be passed. The Presi-
dent will at once issue proclamation call
ing for $4,000 volunteers.
Gen. Miles believes in this and plans
are made accordingly, for throwing this
immense numbers of soldiers into Cuba in
the shortest possible time. They will be
modified at Chickamauga first. These
will cooperate with the Cuban soldiers,
who will be armed by the United States.
ALI plans are revolving around one great
central plan for striking a tremendous
blow at once at Spain in Cuba
The Government has information of a

IN CONGRESS-.
Resolutions Signed by the Presiding
Officers of Both Houses.

Washington, April 19.-Beyond the
signing of the Cuban resolutions by
Speaker Reed and speech by Mr.. Gros-
venor, expressing the belief that call to
arms would meet hearty response from
Democrats, Populists and Republicans,
Southerners and Northerners, the House
did nothing to-day.
In the Senate, after Vice-President Ho-
bart had signed the resolutions, there
was considerable talk for and against the
policy of the President on recognition of
Cuba.
Mr.. Allen introduced resolution rec
ognizing the independence of Cuba, which
was referred to the committee on foreign
relations, and the Senate then resumed
consideration of the sundry civil bill.
Mr.. Pettus offered an amendment ap-
plopriating 100000 for deepening and
widening the channel leading into Mobile
bay, so that warships could be yictulated
and watered at Mobile, but upon objec-
ton he withdrew it.
Then Mr.. Cockrell began an attack on
the President for ignoring Congress.
MIR. Hale replied vigorously, twitting
the Democrats for voting against the con-
ference report. The Senate then ad-
iourned after short executive session.

TO MOVE HEADQUARTERS.
Gen. Miles and Staff will Leaue Washing
ton This Week.

Washington, April 1S.-Now that the
regular troops have been ordered to move
to the scene of the expected conflict with
Spain and are already on their way to the
points of mobilization, active preparations
are being made for moving the headquar-
tiers of the army from Washington to the
same part of the country.
1t is expected that Gen. Miles and his
staff will leave the Capital IN about week.
Three more staff officers have been de-
tailed. The headquarters will probably
first be at Chickamauga Park. 1t is i'm
probable that the headquarters will ever be
in Cuba.
Before any extensive operations are be-
gun in Cuba it is expected that volunteer
army Of at least 80, 600 will be mobilized
with the regulars in the department of the
Gulf.
A bill drafted under the direction Of the
War Department will be introduced in
Congress tomorrow. The President will
probably ask each State to furnish its pro-
portionate quota.
Secretary Alger has decided to give out
to press no more information regarding the
movement of the troops, which might aid
the enemy. In all the bureaus today act
i've plans were made for war.

SlGSBEE TAKES COMMAND.
Will Fight the St. Paul Against the Span
ish Assassins.

New York, April 1S.-Captain Charles
D. Sigsbee, U. s. N, who commanded the
Maine when she was blown up in Havana
harbor, boarded the American liner st.
Paul at O'Clock yesterday morning at her
pier in this city, to take her to Philadel-
phia, where she will be made over into an
auxiliary cruiser. There was no ceremony
about it. Captain Sigsbee went aboard ac-
companied by G. G. Griscom, the agent of
the American Line in this city; Captain
Brewer, the superintendent of the pier,
and Manager Wright, shook hands with
Captain Jamison, who has commanded the
st. Paul since she joined the American
Line fleet, and told him that he was ready
to start for Philadelphia whenever the ship
was.
The St. Paul had been ready for three
hours and no time was lost in getting her
out into the channel and starting her down
stream. Captain Jamison said that he
would hurry to Philadelphia as speedily as
the St. Paul's engines could carry her.
The St. Paul was manned by her own
crew 25O strong, who will decide after they
reacn Philadelphia whether or not they
wish to become members of the United
States naval force. Her silver and crock
cry ware and all the other property Of the
International Navigation Company on her
will be taken off and stored away to await
her return to the American Line feet.
In Philadelphia Captain Sigsbee will be
met by Lieutenant Commander briggs and
Ensign Cluverius, who were with him on
the Maine. These are the only officers,
Captain Sigsbee said. who served on the
Maine who have been assigned to the St.
Paul. The assignment of other regular
naval forces to the ship would depend
wholly on the success he had in persuading
the st. Pauls regular officers to accept
billets under him.
"I want all of them 1 can get," said
Captain Sigsbee, "and shall do my best to
induce them to stay by me-"
Captain Sigsbee said that the Navy De-
partment wanted the crew of the st. Paul
as we'll as her officers and that the propo-
sition would be made to them when they
arrived in Philadelphia. Most Of the men
are anxious to serve under Captain sigsbee,
and one Of the st. Paul's officers said to-
day that he expected to see every one Of
them enlist at once. Captain Sigsbee was
asked what he thought of the prospect Of
war.
"I don't see how we can avoid it now, u
he replied. 81 hope a decision will be
reached soon. This suspense is try ing"

There were enough sensible men in Con-

nize government that does not exist.
Cuba will be free and President Mckinley
will see that it shall have stable govern

The press of the country, regardless of

supported the policy of President Nc

the only kickers.
How many warships and how much
munitions of war could we have secured

A war of revenge would be unholy and

TIME ALONE WILL TELL.
The Spaniards Think They Have a Match
for Our Flying Squadron.

Madrid, via Biarritz, April 19.-The
first available Spanish squadron is still at
st. Vincent, Cape de Verde Islands, under
Admiral Carvera. This squadron is re-
garded here as being quite match for the
American flying squadron, and it may be
ordered to visit North American ports in
the event of war. A second squadron is
being formed at Cadiz, and will be COM
manded by Admiral Churruca. A strong
force of marines has been distributed
among the fleets, including three battal-
ions who have just returned from hard
service in the Philippines. The govern
ment has not yet decided on the privateer-
ing question. 1t is awaiting to see what
the United States does.

SOUTH 10 BE CALLED ON.
We Will Furnish Half of the Army
os:.avasion.

Washington, April 19.-The present
intention of the War Department is to
land an army of not less than 10000 men
in Cuba, half of which will be composed
of the regular army and the other half of
militia of the Southern States.
The reason for this action is that army
officials are of the opinion that Southern
men will be better able to withstand the
dangers of the climate of Cuba than
Northern militiamen. Soldiers Of the
Northern and Western States will be scat
cred along the southern coast and used to
garrison the ports and coast defenses.
When General Lee was before the war
board he testified that there was no real
danger to American troops on the island
from the climate. He explained that the
death rate among the Spanish army is due
to the fact that these soldiers are badly fed
and that there are no sanitary arrange
ments perfected in their camp life.

Therefore, veteran tried and true,
Strong our pride has grown in you;
And when you return o'er sea
Warm your welcome here shall be,

The Senate resolutions were the inspira-
ton of a Bryan combination to cripple and
defeat the policy of President Mckinley.
That's patriotism with vengeance.
We wonder if Mr.. Bryan will volunteer
for the war with Spain? He should show
the courage Of his convictions.
Weyler says the war must be short and
quick. He wants it to end before he gets
there.
The Senate tried to usurp the Executive
pregrogative by recognizing the insurgent
government in Cuba. The President
would not have permitted such an en-
croachment upon his constitutional powers.
1t is we'll that the Senate receded from
that part of the resolutions that recognized
the Cuban insurgents.
"Populists, Republicans and Democrats
are we.
But all American citizens to make Cuba
free"
So said Senator Tillman in his speech in
the Senate. 1t is pitchfork poety without
doubt with the Populiats for the handle.
The Spaniards sneeriDgly speak of the
Americans as ''pig stickers." They will
find them better dog stickers.
The first shot which is fired will solidify
the American people. That will thrill
more than the oratory of politicians or the
false patriotic shouts of the jingees.

Richmond Times.
But it is full of Reed-resscs.
The people and press of the North and
West are as anxious for Fitz Lee to receive
an appointment of trust and distinction as
are the people and press of the South.
Gen. Rosser does not seem to be much
impressed with the idea of Confederate
Generals taking part in the coming war
with Spain. He thinks they are too old
and too much behind the times in military
affairs to be efficient. 1t is probable Ros-
ser is jealous of the popularity of Fitz
Lee.
The people in 1896 said that Bryan
should not be President, but he went TO
Washington and tried to supersede Nc
Kinley in shaping our Cuban policy. His
effort was failure, and he kas made no
friends by intermeddling, with questionable
taste, in matter Of such importance.
In April 1861 Federal troops were being
sent to the South to engage in conflict with
the people of the Southern States Now
they are coming South to unite with the
men of our section in defending our sea
coast and the National honor. We have
glorious, united country, and loyalty to
the flag is so earnest that it will hardly
ever again be weakened.

possession of a society which will re-
store it to it's original condition and
preserve 1t so. This is the home Of

desire of Washington when he made
known his wish for a flag made OF IL
stars and as many stripes. The soci-
ETY. having the matter in hand is the
American Playhouse and Betsy Ross
association. with headquarters in the
Quaker city. The house is owned by
Mrs. Charles Muod. who will be paid

asks. This amount is to be raised by

in Philadelphia in 1852. Her parents
were Quakers and her father assisted

The Financier's Review.

New York. Sept. N-The Financier
says: The surplus reserves of the New
York associated banks are now lower
than at any time since the panic OF 1893.
Two years & this month the surplus de-
pressed to something like $, 900, but
call money then was at prohibitive figures
and imports of god followed Immediately.
Now. confronted with an interior demand
which has averaged in past seasons more
than $50. 900. 600, with the treasury absorb
ing additional millions each week on bond
payments and with business expanding in
every direction. money is loaning at 4
per cent. although the fact of the matter
is that the banks have little IL any money
to loan. The excess reserve of the New
York banks is in the hands of a few in
situations.
The majority of the banks are loaned
up to and beyond the required limit. The
statement of the current week is about
what was anticipated. The treasury took
s14. 900. 900 from the banks on bond account
and the loss to the interior was between
one and two millions.
The clearing house report makes the
LOGS of cash about sl3. coo. The decrease
in deposits reached the unusual large sum
of $50, 4S7. 700, which was due to the cash
contraction noted and the falling of of
ST. rs, 100 in loans.
1t is to be noted that had the banks
not called in outstanding loans the sur
Plus TtstTNt WOuiu nave pIdNtHtdiiN uiEaF-
peared. The present financial condition is
anomalous. The country never had so
much money, but 1t is distributed so that
II is unavailable for use and IL Is needed
now more than ever.
The treasury. IL Is true. by anticipating
interest and maturity on bonds. is ex-
hausting every resource to restore to cir
culation its idle funds, but the effects of
this policy are not yet apparent. As the
circumstances which have brought about
an unprecedented condition are apt to
continue for some time. the banks up TO
this time have discouraged the idea of
strlngency in money, but unless some re-
lief is speedily obtained II is difficult to
see how present rates can long prevail.
The promised increase in bank circu'ation
is slow in Undertaking., and will probably
come, as has been the case in past years,
after the real demand for IT has passed.
Al matters stand to-day, the continued
contraction in loans. with resultant high
er quotations, seems inevitable.
