PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.
Semi -OmciaI Statement of Plan to BE
FOlIowed-TrOOps to BE Landed
in Puerto Rico Also.

Washington, June 2.-For the first
time since the beginning of hostilities
there appears to be something in the
nature of an official statement of the
plan of campaign of the United States
government. This is contained in let
ter of Secretary Alger to the speaker
of the house, transmitting certain rec
concentrations, and statements of Gen.
Ludlow, which disclosed the purpose of
the war department to send 10000 men
to Cuba, 10000 to start at once and the
remainder just as soon as they can be
made ready for departure. Then there
was an estimate for establishing cleo
trical communications in connection
with the army Gin Cuba, Puerto Rico
and the Philippines" showing for the
first time officially an implied intention
on the part of the government to land
troops in Puerto Rico. OF course all
these movements have been anticipated
by the press, but nevertheless strong
element of doubt existed, and therefore
an official statement of the govern
ment's purposes, made even in this in
direct fashion, created a profound SEN
sation here. The three are to go to-
gether-Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Phil
ippines-and pass into the military oc-
cupation of the United States troops.

of the entire force of vessels operating
against Santiago de Cuba and the Span
ish feet, assigning that officer to the
command of division comprising the
ships formerly attached to the flying
squadron. Fifteen warships are at Ad-
miral Simpsons disposal to pit against
the six men-of-war flying the Spanish
flag. They include the first-class bat
tleships Iowa, the Oregon and Massa-

Landed Safely in Cuba.

Key West, Fla, June 1.-The steamer
Florida returned here at seven a. m.
Tuesday from Cuba, having successful
ly landed most important expedition
on the island. The war department alb
solutely forbids correspondents tele-
graphing the name of the landing place
of Gen. Lacrets expedition, which it
was understood was at point about 25
miles east of Havana. Later informa-
ton raises strong presumption that
the landing was effected, as originally
planned, not far from Guantanamo,
province of Santiago de Cuba. The eX-
petition was landed on the coast OF
Cuba on Thursday, May 20.

A SIGNIFICANT BANQUET.
Britons and Americans MingIe Their
Cheers for Unity Of Two
Great Nations.

London, June A most unique and
significant as well as one of the most
enthusiastic banqnets ever given in
London was the Anglo-American ban
quet given Friday evening at the Hotel
Cecil. Six hundred Britons and Ameri-
cans assembled fraternally, the pur-
pose of the entertainment being the
promotion of good fellowship between
kindred races. Englishmen, many of
whom had experienced American hos
pitality, were the hosts while resident
Americans were the guests. Political,
business and literary circles were well
represented, but the purpose of making
the affair spontaneous and a wholly I'M
official celebration excluded the en-
bassy. American and British flags were
draped over the tables, at which were
both men and women with 'the flag
of the future" the union jack and the
Stars and Stripes blended, on coats-of-
arms. All wore buttons emblazoned
with the two flags surrounding the
Canadian beaver Among the banquet
ers were some of the most influential
persons in politics and journalism.
Lord Bernard Coleridge presided.
Toasts to the queen and to the presi-
dent of the United States were hon
ored, accompanied by the strains Of

The Second Call.

Washington, June 2.-Adt. Gen. Cor
bin has completed arrangements for
the recruitment of $4,000 additional
troops under the second call for VOL
unteers. 1t has been decided, however,
to withhold the appointment of the
different states and territories from
publication for the present for the
reason that such publication at this
time would tend to embarrass and de-
lay the officials of the department in
the organization of the new regiments
According to the plans already form
ulated $4,000 troops will be required to
recruit the regiments of the existing
organizations up to their maximum
strength, leaving only $4,000 troops to
be mustered in for the organization of
entirely new regiments.

The following is the report as posted

{ Sail for Cuba.
Washington, June 4.-Despite all de-
malls, there is the very highest author
,ity for the statement that troops to the
number of 30, 900 or $4,000 are now on
the water ready to land at once at San
tiago and at San Juan. The troops en-
barked Thursday and may have been
halted at Key West. They went from
some point at the southern coast, but
not from Tampa.

Report from Schley.

Port au Prince, Hayti, June 4.-Fri-
day morning the American squadron
again began a bombardment of the
Notifications of Santiago de Cuba, and
lively cannonade ensued for two
hours, which silenced the Spanish bat
teries. An American vessel, the Mer-
rimac, described in the advices from
Santiago de Cuba as an auxiliary
cruiser, making dash to force the en-
trance, succeeded in passing the first
line of defenses, but was torpedoed
about 500 feet up the channel. She went
down ''perpendicularly. An officer, an
engineer and six seamen were taken
prisoners. The number of victims is I'M
known. Only the funnel and mastheads
of the sunken ship can be seen. There
is great excitement in the city. A part
of the population assisted in the fight
ing on the heights. Everybody is
astounded at the audacity of the Amer
ican vessel. The American squadron
was cruising all the while in the
offing.
Not a Spanish Victory.
Washington. June 4.-The Washing
ton Post says: There is absolutely no
doubt in the minds of the naval officials
in Washington that the sending of the
collier into the harbor was all a pre-ar-
ranged move on the part of Admiral
Sampson. The use of collier, the I'M
usual hour of the morning, the neces-
sity of blockading the channel so as to
relieve some of the ships of the squad
ron from remaining stationed off San
tiago. the Importance of discovering
whether the mines were effective-all
these reasons make it certain that the
Merrimac was deliberately guided to
her destruction. 1t was not Spanish
victory. 1t was a cleverly arranged
scheme on the part of the American ad-
ymiral, and it was successful. The eight
men in a Spanish prison are the real
heroes of the war.
The Inflated Merrimac.
Baltimore, Nd, June 4.-The Merri-
mac was purchased by the government
from the Lone Star Steamship COM
ipany. The transfer was made in this
city early in April. She was formerly
the Norwegian steamer Solveig, and
was nearly destroyed by fire at Newport
News in 1896. She was built at New
icastle, England, in 1894, was $50 feet
long, A feet beam and had net regis
tier Of 2,193 tons. The Merrimac left
Norfolk, where she was fitted for gov
ernment purposes, about a month ago
Seeks for Peace.
Washington, June An diplomatic
circles it is reported Spain has asked
one of the European. powers to make
overtures for peace. 1t is understood
the president is willing to accept Puer-
to Rico in payment of the cost of war,
while naval station is to be maintained
in the Philippines, and this country
will help organize republic in Cuba.

A SILVER AMENDMENT.
Senate Adopts WOlcOtt's Proposition
for Coinage of Bullion Held In
the Treasury.

Washington, June Awhile the war
revenue measure was not passed by
the senate Friday, two very important
votes were taken, one on proposition
to coin the silver bullion in the treas
ury and to issue silver certificates
against the coin, and the other on the
bond proposition presented by the re-
publican minority of the committee on
finance. In lieu of the seigniorage
amendment offered by the majority of
the finance committee, Senator Wolcott
(rep., COLI proposed an amendment d.
recting the secretary of the treasury to
coin the silver bullion in the treasury
and to issue silver certificates against
it. After some discussion vote was
reached, and the amendment was agreed
to, As to 81, several republicans voting
for it. Senator Aldrich (rep., r. ~ then
presented the amendment of the mi
nority of the finance committee, pro-
viding for the issue of $100,000,000 of
certificates of Indebtedness and $780,
100000 of bonds, to be used exclusive
ly for the payment of the expenses of
the war. After an extended debate,
the question was brought to an issue,
and by the decisive vote of As to 81 the
bond amendment was Incorporated in
the bill, as substitute for the amend
ment to issue legal tender notes. The
bond proposition received the votes of
81 republicans, democrats and 1
populist.
