OFFICERS WHO ARE
 PHYSICALLY DISQUALIFIED.
Some Accepted by Special Dispensa- tion, but They Cannot Expect
 Pensions

WASHINGTON, May 10-The War Department officials tonight authorized the statement that no orders have been issued to mastering officers directing that they accept all regimental officers of volunteer troops appointed by Gov ernors of States, regardless of physical disabilities. In a few cases, where Governors were particularly anxious to commission certain officers who ordi- narily would be rejected on the ground of physical disability, the mastering of ffcers have been instructed to accept the services of the officers; but In each case special dispensation has been re- quired and a special notation of,the dis ability has been made for the benefit of the Government. Hereafter it will be difficult for the officers so accepted to secure pension, as they will have to show clearly that the disability for which the pension may be asked was due to their service in the present war.
 War Department officials are very much averse to the acceptance of any men or officers who are not perfectly sound physically and the exceptions that have been made were in the face of protests of the department.

Will Lend a Swift Dynamite Torpedo Boat During
 the War.
The Only Condition Is That the Patriotic Millionaire Be Placed
 in Command.

NEW YORK, May IDA Washing ton special to the Herald says: MT. Oliver Hazard Perry Belmont of New York has offered to lend the Govern ment dynamite torpedo-boat provid- ed he be permitted to command it dur ing the war with Spain. His propo- sition was carefully considered this af- ternoon by the Naval Board of Con- struction, and as a result letter was submitted to Secretary Long, suggest ing that the offer was patriotic and should~be accepted. The Secretary's de- cision will be announced within the next few days.
 If the Secretary accepts MT. Bel mont's proposition, work will at once commence on the proposed boat at the Crescent shipbuilding yard, at Eliza bethport, N. J. MT. Nixon, repre- senting the Crescent Shipbuilding Com pany, explained MT. Belmont's ideas to the Construction Board. The boat will be very similar to the Rodgers, now on blockade duty in Cuban waters. It will have a displacement of 150 tons, will be about 160 feet in length and 16 feet beam, and will haveNa draught of five feet. It's armament will consist of dynamite guns, built under plans prepared by. MT. Nixon. These guns will be able to fire large shells loaded with high explosives, and 1t is declared that no danger will be experienced. Small charges of powder will be em- ployed, so arranged as to burn slowly when first discharged and to gradu- ally quicken its consumption in order to generate a large body of gas with out shock to the explosive in the pro- jectile. It is appreciated that consid- erable elevation will have to be given the guns in order that they may fire a satisfactory distance.
 Mr. Belmont's proposed boat will be

STEAMSHIP BRATZBERG
 STILL A WAR PRIZE.
Case of the Norwegian Vessel Will Be Settled Without Interna-
 tional Complications.

KEY WEST, Fla, May 10-The Nor wegian steamer Bratzberg, which arr rived this morning under the convoy of the Mangrove. is still prize of war; pending the decision of the United States on the question. The affair bears many features of resemblance to that of the French steamer Lafayette, but, like that case, it will be settled without any international complica- tions.
 About two weeks ago the Bratzberg bound from Progreso, Mexico, for Ha- vana with 800 head of cattle, was warned off the Cuban coast by the blockading fleet. She put into this port and remained a couple of days, when she sailed, ostensibly for New York to find a market for the cattle She was piloted out of this harbor April 27, and was not seen again until yesterday morning, when the gunboat Newport sighted her about twenty-five miles off Havana. Captain Tilley knew she had once been warned out, and, observing that she was floating easy and with cattle pens apparently empty, he hailed and boarded her. Cap- tain Thorson stoutly denied that he was attempting to slip past the block ade, but he coul1 not satisfactorily ex- plain the disposition of his cargo and was sent in under the Mangroves es- cort.
 NEW YORK, May II, 12:30 a. m.-The Norwegian steamer Bratzberg. brought

the following considerations:
 First, to follow up the Ma nila victory with a blow at Havana that will speedily terminate the war.
 Second, to drive Blanco's troops from Cuba before the rainy season, so deadly to un- acclimated troops, sets in.
 Third, a growing impress sion thatthe insurgent troops, while capable enough in the defensive or guerrilla warfare, are disorganiZed and not dis tciplined for aggressive war fare such as the siege of Ha- vana will be.
 Taking it for granted that within a few weeks Spain will have yielded, after hav- ing lost the Philippines, Porto Rico and Cuba, Congressman are busily engaged in dispos- ing of the several islands in this way:
 Cuba is to be handed over to the insurgents, as a free and independent State.
 The Philippines to be re- tained by the United States for their commercial as well as strategic value.
 Porto Rico will be kept by Uncle Sam for a coaling sta- tion, which we have so long coveted in the West Indies.

fast, her speed being twenty-six knots an hour This Is better than the Rod gers can do. MT. Belmont desires to command her. but he will expect the navy to place on board a regular blue jacket crew and an executive officer who will be an officer of the service. He believes that the boat will be use- full either against shore batteries or against armored ships.
 It was estimated by the department officials to-day that the cost of such a boat as MT. Belmont proposes to con- struct will be in the neighborhood Of $100,000. His proposition specially states that he does not intend to give the vessel to the Government, but will lend it during the existence of the war between the United States and Spain.

 AN AGED MAN Bedding Widow Rolled by a Pastor Engaged
 to Offciate.
Prospective Groom Former JuriSt Now Feeble in Mind
 and Body.
Letters of Guardianship Applied For by a Friend to Thwart Alleged
 Scheners.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

BEDDING, May 10.-Judge Chauncey A. Horr, Il years of age and a para lytic, a few years ago came into pos session of a small fortune in Bloom ington, Illinois. The income from his property was sent to him by Eastern relatives through Judge Aaron Bell of this city. The aged man was boarding and lodging at the home of Mrs. Chance, a widow living on California street in this city.
 A few days ago Judge Bell got word from his clients relatives in the East that a deed had been placed on record in Bloomington, transferring title to nineteen acres of valuable land, the consideration being love and affec- tion." Upon receipt of this informa- tion Judge Bell at once applied for let ters of guardianship on the ground of his clients incompetency.
 On Monday night, while Judge Bells petition was still pending in court, City Attorney Braynard, the notary who had certified the gift deed, went to the County Clerks office and procured marriage license for Judge Horr and Mrs. Chance from Clerk Cunningham, who had been absent from the office and knew nothing of the application for guardianship. When County Clerk Drynan returned he at once notified his deputy of the true state of affairs. Clerk Cunningham hurried to the home of Mrs Chance to forbid the cere- mony. He found that Rev. J. B. Hart sough, an aged man, had been sum- moned to officiate at the wedding, but had refused to proceed when he saw the helpless condition of the prospec- tive groom. Judge Bell arrived later and took his client away from the Chance house.
 The affair has created sensation here and an investigation is now under way

TO COMMAND THE
 CONCENTRATION CAMP.
An Indication That General Sewell
 Will Accept His Military Com

nlSS1Ous
 WASHINGTON, May 1O-Major Gen. eral Sewell has been assigned to com mand the concentration camp near Falls Church, Va. This is taken as an indication that the general has con- cluded to accept his military commits sion, risking his tenure of office as a Senator thereby. The order issued from the War Department to-day reads as follows:
 The following named officers should be ordered to report to the adjutant-general for duty with the troops to go into camp at Washington, D. C.: Major-General SeweIl and Brigadier-G Generals Poland, Kent. Young, Randall, Schwan and J. c. Bates.
 None of the corps commanders have yet been assigned finally, although the entire list of commands has been pre- pared. The three civilian major gen. erals are not to receive such commands, but are assigned to divisions, Generals Lee, Wilson and Wheeler going to Chattanooga for duty and General Brooke will undoubtedly command one of the army corps.
 The War Department officials ad- mitted to-day that all the regular troops now at Chickamauga had been ordered away. They refuse most posi- lively, however, to tell the destination of the troops, contending that to do so would be simply to invite attacks by Spanish naval vessels upon the trans ports which will convey them.
 The volunteers will take up the camps abandoned by the regulars in Chick amauga Park. Nine of the new brig adler generals have been assigned to duty under Major General Brooke and will lick the raw recruits into shape at Camp George H. Thomas. They are Brigadier- Generals Briggs, Compton, Burt, Sumner, Henry, Lawton, Chaffee and Davis. Brigadier Schwan, one of the brigadier- generals assigned to duty at the Washington concentration camp, is at present principal aid to Adjutant General Corbin and has just been pro- noted to the rank of brigadier general

NO CONFIRMATION OF
 THE RETREAT TO CADIZ

LONDON, May 10.-There is no con- firmation of the report that the Span ish fleet from the Cape Verde Islands has returned to Cadiz, but it is gen. orally regarded as the most likely movement to be made, and as an indi- cation that Spain has decided to let her West Indian possessions go.
 The question is generally asked "What possible use has Spain for con- Iinuing a hopeless struggle, as it is con- sidered next to impossible that she has any alternative plan or that the re- reat of the squadron hides some strat- .gic design

DRUNKEN SPANIARD
 AT MARE ISLAND.
Wants to Visit the Yard, but Con-
 cludes It Would Be Better

VALLEJO. May 1o.-A drunken Spaniard, claiming to be an American citizen, who expressed loud desire to enlist in the United States navy and indulged in lower asides to the effect that the Spaniards were a brave peo- pie, created a disturbance on the Southern Pacific wharf this afternoon by his insfstence in a purpose to go across to the navy yard. A Jack tar. who cheerfully drank with the Span iard in the saloon at the end of the wharf, succeeded f1nall-- in discourag- ing the Spaniard in his purpose, but not until there had been an exchange of strong language and a rather too free use of the ugly little word spy" to please the man of Spanish extrac- ton.

The Unsettled Question.

Now that the question of street
paving is virtually settled, the next
rally should be for free bridge.
That matter ought to enlist the
determined, persistent, and uncom-
promising effort of the whole body
of citizens
This embargo on the prosperity of
the town; this high tariff on our bus
mess and progress; this gulf that
divides and divorces the two sides
of our county; this deyilish incubus
on our thrift and prosperity ought
not to be tolerated any longer.
The county court is not going to
give us this of its own motion. 1t
is not going to give it on our motion
unless we storm the citadel of chron-
ie indifference and compel them to
do us simple justice.
We may have brick paving and
all the appointments Of a beautiful
town, but we will never be the town
we might be and are entitled to be
as long as the county is divided by
a toll bridge as completely as if we
were two distant counties.

there is no more wet weather-the

Col. Gilmore has gotten back to
the postoffice job again and hopes
that the rain will hold off long
enough to let him get the job finish
ed this time before he has to stop. A
little water in the hole he has there
will stop him and prevent his work

was stopped and in the meantime
when nothing could be done on it
he went to the Academy grounds
and fixed them up all right.
The whole attention will be given
to this job and it will be finished
this week if there is no further de-
lay. The place will then be ready
for the stone masons who will get
down to work right away. There IS
only three months until the new
building will have to be ready for
occupancy and to get it ready there
will have to be some hustling on the
part of the builders
The grading at the University will
be let alone until this job is finished

DECREE OF ARMISTICE.
pending Hostilitiss Pending
Peace Settlement.

HAVANA, April 12.-The Official Ga
zette Yesterday published the decree of
arn1istice granted by the Spanish gov
eminent. 1t was signed by Captain
General Blanco and reads:
.Iiis majesty's government, yielding
to the reiterated wish expressed by his
holiness, the pope, has been pleased to
decree a suspension of hostilities with
the object of preparing and facilitating
the restoration of peace on this island,
in virtue whereof Ibeieve it convenient
to order:
"Froni the day following the receipt
In each locality of tie present proclama-
ton hostilities are ordered to be sus-
pended in all the territory of the island
of Cuba.
1.-THE details for the execution of the
above article will be the object of spe-
cial instructions that will be commune
Gated to the several ommanders-in-chief
of the army corps for the easy and
prompt execution according to the situa-
ton and circumstances of the case"
La Lucia publishes an article headed
"Mr. Lees Flight which says the
manner in which the general left Ha-
yana "does not become the representa-
tive of a civilized nation,' adding:
after exciting public opinion he left in
a great hurry with his staff That his
leaving was equivalent to flight is DEM
opstrated by the fact that Captain Gen.
eral Blanco gave an exequator to the
English consul to represent President
McKinley?s government on this island.
Therefore, the United States did not
withdraw her consuls from Cuba, nor
her representatives from the capital of
Spain. At the last moment General
Lee was as frightened as if he had never
been an army man.
"If General Lees correspondence is
revised he will be found guilty of
alarming his government, and will be
held responsible for the Maine affair
for asking that vessel be sent here TO
protect its citizens. He was the chief
of the jingoes here while looking out
for the interests of his country"

been no further general conference be-
tween the ambassadors and ministers of
the powers, nor is there any present in
dication Of further action from that
quarter.
No new diplomatic phases Of the
question developed at the state depart
ment. Secretary Sherman said he
would not be surprised if the Madrid
cable report proved true that Minister
Woodford was about to leave Madrid,
At the same time the state department
was without advices that this step actu-
ally had been taken. General Lee is
enroute here and it is expected that his
arrival will be the signal for notable
demonstration.
The war and navy departments con-
tinued their active preparations. While
eventualities are being prepared for, the
sentiment in army and navy circles is
that war is not SO imminent as it seemed
to be few days ago. 1t can be stated on
authority that no consideration has yet
been given to the withdrawal of the
United States feet at Key West. as the
administration holds that the situation
has undergone no change which makes
this withdrawal necessary or adviable.
