mitee of the senate which reported the
Hull bill and made a speech on the floor
of the senate explaining its provisions
The idea was that the forces of the United
States should be divided in three parts the
regulars the volunteers and the militia OF
course the militia can volunteer and then
become of the class OF volunteers which
are subject to the same orders as the regu-
lar army The militia enlists as such for
service in the United States through the
governor of the several states and cannot
be sent without the confines of the coun-
try.

MES should have volunteered, unless they
wanted to go to Cuba. They pursued the
proper course exactly in offering tneir
services to the United States through the

be sent, in the state of Alabama or in the

Military Gossip
A good many questions are being asked
as to what will be the physical REQUIRE
ments of the volunteers which they Will
be required to undergo before they be ad-
mitted into the army. The only general
rule that has been laid down is hat no APP
plicant who has any chronic complaint will
be received. Men of this kind are Inc fast
to give out in hard campaign, and the
government doesn't want 10 be nandicapntd
with a lot of weak men. The eXamin taion
in Mobile, however will not be us styere
and as. rigid as it is Tor the recruits CT
the regular army.
AS predicted in yesterdays Aye-Herald,
the officers of all the local companies tele-
graphed their strength to the governor as
follows: The jefferson Volunteers, 80 nen;
the Birmingham Rifles, 50 men; the Weed
lawn Light Infantry, Sc men; TIE Huey
Guards, 100 men, the Bessemer RIFLES, 100
men. Since that time all of the companies
have increased their muster rolls. Up to IL
o'clock last night the Jefferson Volunteers
had nearly 140 men enrolled on their hooks,
and it is understood that several ether of
the companies have gone beyond The hum
dred mark. OF course the companies Will
not be permitted to retain over 40 men,
but it is thought that all enlisted will be
taken TO AODHe, the nunureu STANDING IHe
best examination to remain with the COM
pany, and the others to return home or join
other companies as they prefer.
Captain M L. Potter arrived in Birming
ham for the purpose of making arrange
ments to let Captain Demere go to war, but
as the Office of commissary on the colonel's
staff, as well as several other offices have
been abolished, Captain Demere thinks that
Captain Potters visit is a useless one, as
he, Captain Demere, is likely to reside in
Birmingham for some years to come.

badges that were attracting a great deal
of attention on the streets yesterday. They
are made of white and red silk ribbon, and
the boys selling them on the streets
reaping harvest off of their sale.
The non-commssfoned officers of the JEFF
ferson Volunteers had their pictures taken
in a body yesterday, and will have them
framed for this and future generations to
admire. They all say that it will make a
very handsome picture. They all had on
blue flannel shirts and the regulation uni
forms, which gave them a very trooper
like appearance.
A number of the boys are kicking be-
cause some of the merchants are beginning
to press their bills and insisting that they
be paid at once. They say that they have
been trading with these same merchants
for years and paying their bills regularly,
and that now when there was a call for
soldiers by the government the bills were
being pressed as if they intended to skip
town, get killed and thus beat out of them.

way had been found Of relinquishing
all the Philippines. Since his return
from the west, however, he is an advo-
cate of holding all the islands.
Although it has been finally deter
mined that the Philippines shall be re-
tanned, the peace commissioners may
be given considerable latitude as to
the terms on which they are to be re-
tanned. The Philippines are regarded
as standing on a different basis from
Cuba and Porto Rico, and some of the
members of the administration
believe that If all the is
lands are taken Spain should be
given some measure of compensation
for them, especially as the Philippines
have been by far the most valuable of
all her colonies.
1t can be said that it is quite prob
able that the American commissioners
will be authorized to go so far as to
offer to pledge the United States to
assume the Philippine debt, or at least
such portion of it as has been expended
on the public works in the islands.
The exact amount of the debt that
could be properly charged to the Unit
ed States under such an arrangement
could not be accurately stated without
a fuller analysis of this debt than as
yet has been made, but it is believed
that it will be less than $40, O,000,O 900. /

for Paris it was not contemplated
that they should demand from the
Spanish government more than the alb
solute cession of this one island to the
United States and a reversio1ary in
terest in the other islands of the
group.
1t has been found however, that
there were many practical difficulties
in the way of such solution not the
least of them being the evident impos-
sibility of Spain's re-establishing au-
thority over the remaining islands
without prolonged and bloody strug-
gle with the insurgent forces
Information, coupled with the opin-
ion of military and naval commanders
familiar with the Philippine situation,
have led the president to believe that

Spanish sovereignty in the islands anC
it became duty of the United States
to establish better government thar
the one which was destroyed by Amer

The president has been deluged will
letters from all parts of the Unite'

that American sovereignty should b
maintained wherever the flag has bee
