FORCE THE CUBAN CAMPAIGN.


New York, May FLA special to the

The intention of the war department
to force the Cuban campaign was suili-
GENTLY Indicated by the step taken to-
day for the speedy mobilization and
equipment of the immune regiments
authorized by Congress last week This
law. which empowers the President to
authorize an additional volunteer force
not exceeding 10000 enlisted men. pos
sessing immunity from the diseases in
cident to tropical climates VIII be I'M
mediately put into effect by thu iorma-
ton of SIX regiments of nearly 1000
men each to ne recruited in the cuff
states Assurances from that section
are to the effect that these men are
practically ready for mastering in and
are awaiting equipment Nearly all Of
them have had military training and
confidence is expressed that they can
be made ready for active service With
in ten days. 1t is significant that If
immunes are needed at all in the Cuban
campaign they are especially adapted
for service there in the immediate fu-
ture and that If the campaign was to
be abandoned until fall there would
be no need to raise this force hurrledly
in the month of May.
The President today selected the
colonies of these immune regiments
from among the best officers in the
regular service and orders will be is
sued 10 them tomorrow to hurry south
and begin the selection of their COM
mands, reporting for duty to the Attn

1t is expected that the four regi-
mcnts of immunes commanded by OH
GERS from the regular army Will be re-
crulted wholly from the colored popu-

Many colored militia organizations in
the south have already rendered their
services and many of them will doubt

only four colored companies have been
mustered into the volunteer army.

He stated that the department had
nothing to make public.
Senator Cullom and Representative
Boutelle of Illinois saw the President
to urge the claims of John c. Rhode Of
Illinois, TO one of the United States
commissionerships to Alaska. If Pres
ident Mckinley received any important
information before the meeting of the
cabinet today It was not OF such n ma
ture as to be made public and he had
none to divulge to those who con-
suited with him before that time.
Senator Shoup of Idaho, who spent
some time with the President today
expressed the belief that the reported
arrival of the Spanish fleet at Santiago
was true and that IL might have the
effect Of bringing about an earlier close
of the war than had been expected
He thought, however, the indications
were the war might last a year. Sena.
