ROOSEVELT TO
 BE A SOLDIER Will Soon Resign From His Assistant Navy
 Secretaryship.
Demand for Active Service Reluctantly Granted by
 the President.
Will Be Assigned to Command Division of Volunteers or Placed
 on the Staff of Miles.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, April 1.-The Herald S Washington correspondent telegraphs: Assistant Seer -tary Roosevelt has not resigned. He will do SC as soon as the work of preparation has ceased, and the President has promised that he will appoint In on the staff of Major-Gen eral cIiles vr Cf General Lee. He will be assigned to command division of volunteers.
 This authoritative statement was made to me to-day by a close personal friend of the Assistant Secretary of the Navy who is thoroughly acquainted with his aspirations and wishes. learned from him that M. Roosevelt has informed both the President and Secretary Lon of his intention to ask for war service when hostilities are in augurated. A4r. Mckinley and Mr. Long both opposed the idea of losing such a valuable assistant as MT. Roose- welt has proved himself to be and pointed out his value in the Navy De- partment. Naval officials also urged him to stay in the departmental ser vice, but MT. roosevelt bclieves that a man should practice what he breaches, and, notwithstan, Ing the wishes of his superior officers, he proposes to go to the front when the war begins.
 AS to the position to be given MT. Roosevelt, no decision has been reached. One thing, however, is cer- tain; he will go with the army and not with the navy, as many naval officers would like. Mir -.oosevelt commanded a National Guard organization for sev- eral years, and consequently feels more at home in the military department than he would on board ship. There has been talk of attaching him to the New York militia when it is called into service, but this, it can be stated on authority. will not be done. If the wishes of General Lee are respected and they probably will be-he will be assigned to duty as his chief of staff, with rank commensurate with that po- SitiOn."

ing Of the United States battle-ship Alabama, in course of construction at Cramps shipyards. Miss Morgan. daughter of United States Senator Nor gan, will, it is stated, christen the ship named in honor of her native State.
 The Alabama will be the first in tha water of the three big battle-ships con- tracted for in October, 1896. The ther tWo-the Wisconsin and Illnois-are being built respectively at San Fran cisco and Newport News. All three are precisely alike The Alabama's keel was laid in November, 1896, and work on her has been considerably delayed because of the complication that arose over the question of the price the Gov ernment should pay for armor- plate. This matter is likely to be settled speedily now, as the bill providing for the payment of $400 ton for armor- plate has passed the House, and is now pending in the Senate. In all 5000 tons of armor will be required for the three battle-shps, including ballastic plates. bolts and other necessary harveyized steel appurtenances.

is proposed by the administration to assign a strong detail of revenue cut ters, tugs and coast survey vessels to duty in the North Pacific. Hitherto 1t has been the custom to send a fleet of five revenue cutters, armed with a few six-pounders to the North Pacific for the purpose of preventing pelagic sealing or any other violation of the sealing patrol. and the cutters have been under control of the Secretary of the Treasury.
 During the coming season the force will be naval force, and its opera tions will be directed by the Secretary Of the Navy. In view of a possible contingency that a Spanish privateer may attempt to capture American Whalers or vessels coming from Alaska, having on board American miners re- turning from the Klondike 1t is pro- posed to make the fleet in Boring Sea strong one The five revenue cutters will be armed with 6-inch guns. six pounders and machine guns, the tugs with six pounders and the coast survey vessels with battery as formidable as the structural arrangement will permit.
 Rear Admiral Miller will continue in command of the Pacific station, but there is talk of making the Bering Sea fleet separate command and placing an officer with the rank of captain in command of it. Captain Henry Glass. who Is on duty as captain of the Mare Island Navyyard, Is spoken of as pos- siole commander-in-chief of this force.

has not been absolutely decided upon. Something will depend upo-. the situa- ton as 1t appears when the final re- ports are made to the Speaker in the morning. The Speaker, however, will hold that the resolutions as amended do not have to go to the committee, but motion to concur or non-concur IS in order This will bring the whole question immediately before the House. It has not yet been decided whether the motion shall be to non-concur with a request for a conference or to concur With an amendment striking out the recognition of independence, and per haps makin other slight amendments in the other sections of the Senate res olution.
 A majority of the Sena.o will give very little attention to any other sub- Ject unt-- the Cuban question is finally disposed of in Con 'ess. That body having acted upon the resolutions of Independence and intervention the question is not now properly before it. but this is such intense interest that Senators wi continue to give 1t their individual atte- tion until an adjust ment with the House is secured. The supporters of the Senate form of ex- presSion are very hopeful that public sentiment will compel the Ho SC to ac- cept the Senate declaration, but they know that the influential conservative element is against them and they real ize that they may be disappointed in the action of the House. In that event they are prepared to stand out against a surrender on the part of the Senate. How long this determination will hold remains ) be developed, but the advo- cates of the recognition of Cuban inde- pendence refuse to be convinced that any other course than it's recognition is tenable.

Commodore Schley Keeps His Men Aboard the Ships of the
 Ewing Squadron.

FORT MONROE, Va, April IT, Commodore Schley's ships had a very quiet Sunday. There was nothing do- ing on the flagship, the Columbia or the Minneapolis. The Texas and Mas sachusetts finished coaling and in the afternoon the Massachusetts shifted her anchorage, because she was little too close to the Minneapolis. Shore leave was not allowed the men, but this afternoon there were several visiting parties among the ships and some of the men went aboard the training ship Alliance for a friendly call.

 Tomorrow the difficult task of ad- justing the differences between the Sen- ate and the House of Representatives on the Cuban resolutions begins. The rock on which the two houses split Is the recognition of the independence of the Cuban republic which was incorpo- rated In the Senate resolution. Were that clause eliminated nothing would have prevented immediate concurrence by the House, as the great majority of the Republicans of the lower branch of Congress are eager for a conclusion. But the action of the Senate declaring for the recognition of Cuba's independ- ence against the direct and specific rec ommendation of the President has from the standpoint of party loyalty, which proved very effective to-day
 One of the most prominent Republi- can leaders on the floor of the House denominated that portion of the Senate resoluti )ns direct assault" upon the President which no loyal Republican could indorse.

Olivette Will Take the Spanish Colony From

Over Four Hundred Persons To Sail for Havana
 To-Day.
Spanish Consul and Vice Consul Will Remain at Their Post for
 Time
Special Dispatch to The Call.
Call Office, Riggs House,

Call Office, Riggs House,
 Washington, April +.
 The Spani' Minister, Senor Polo y Barnabe, to-day closed a charter for the American steamer Olivette of the Plant line, which will carry practically the entire Spanish colony of Tampa, Fla, to Havana tomorrow. In making the charter the Minister gave assur- ances that in case of hostilities the steamer would be cleared from Ha- vana, given ample protection and al- lowed to return to an American port. The Spanish party will number 40S, most of them being young men who have offered their services in the Span iSh army in case of war. Some women and children are included, as they are part of the colony making the move. It is said that hostility to Spanish resi- dents in that locality has become marked of late The Consul and Vice Consul, with two assistants, will re- main at Tampa, the exact point at which seven regiments of infantry have been ordered to mobilize within the next few days, although there is no in- timation that the departure Of the Spanish colony is due to the concentra- ton of United States troops at Tampa.
 The Spanish Minister had a compara- lively quiet Sunday, finding time to take a drive with the Swedish Minis ter, MT. Grippe, the two having been associated here in the diplomatic ser vice twenty-five years ago. Senor Polo y Bernabe received a number of dis patches from Madrid, but they devolved no new phases of the question, and did not bear on the reports that Spain would seek the good offices of the pow CTS in case the House resolutions be- come a law. No official information has been received here as to the reported negotiations with General Gomez to- ward his surrender, although there is no disposition to discredit the report.
 At the embassies and legations rep- resenting the six great powers of Eu- rope, the unusual activity of the last three weeks was noticeably relaxed, as it has now come to be accepted in these quarters that there will be no action, certainly none of a radical character, toward mediation or intervention be- tween Spain and the United States.

PROBABLE ACTION OF
 HOUSE AND SENATE
It Is Believed That the Lower Branch of Congress Will Not Concur in the Resolution Recoe-
 niZing the Republic of Cuba.

nois, Heatwote of Minnesota and other leaders of the Republican opposition, and through other agencies has had a thorough canvass made of the Repub- lican side of the House. Tonight he is confident the Republicans of the House can be marshaled against yielding to the Senate on the main issue.
 Some of the arguments which those like Cooper of Wisconsin, Mann of Illinois and Cromwell of Ohio are disposed to take the shortest cut out of the woods and by agreeing to end the matter have been such as to shake the convictions of these gentlemen. The chief complaint of those who want to concur is that on-concurrence means delay, complications, possibly a re- opening of diplomatic negotiations and possibly further concessions by spain which will embarrass the United States when the til e for action arrives. Mem bers have been labored with separate ly, arguments against recognition have been reiterated and reinforced in the light of the debate in the Senate. Especially potent have been the argu- ments advanced. Senators Allison and Morgan declare that if we recognize the independence of the existing gov ernment General Gomez might at any time negotiate a peace with Spain which would le we the United States in the lurch. When France allied herself with us in the revolutionary war it was for the purpose of gaining our in- dependence, but we were held to the compact by the stipulation that no peace with Great Britain should be ne- gotiated without ance's consent. More than this it is claimed that there are e.idences that the Senate will yield to the recognition of indepen- dence if the HoU~2 stands firm.

NO ARMOR ON THREE
 AUXILIARY CRUISERS.
Owing to Lack of Time the Yosemite,
 Dixie and Yankee Will Not Be Protected

NEW YORK, April 17.-A Newport News Va, special to the Herald says: No armor will be placed on the auxil- iary cruisers Yosemite, Dixie and Yan- kee, formerly the steamers El Sud, Ell Rio and Fl Norte of the Morgan line. This decision was caused by the fact that the vessels may be needed before they can receive their armor. Their main battery will consist of ten six inch guns, five to a broadside and they will also be equipped with secondary batteries of breecE-loading rifles. These ships will be ready to leave here i a few days. In orCer to prepare for ac- tion as soon as possible work on the Kearsarge and Kentucky has been practically suspended for the time be- ing. If rush orders should be received. however, the battle-ships could be completed in three or four months. The hospital ship Sola will be ready for ser vice Wednesday.

QUIET SABBATH AT
 THE NATIONS CAPITAL.
For the First Time in Weeks the President Finds Time to At
 tend Church.

tend Church.
 WASHINGTON, April 17.-To-day was exceptionally quiet in official cir cles, and on the surface at least there were no new developments in the Span ish situation. The reports of yester- days action by the Senate were an ab- sorbing subject of discussion and the probability of what the House will do was uppermost in everyone's mind.
 For the first time in several weeks the President was able to devote Sun day almost entirely to himself and to resume his church-going, which had been interrupted by the important Sun day conferences with the members of the Cabinet. In company with Mrs. Mckinley and some friends the Presf- dent this afternoon went for long drive thoroughly enjoying the country scenery which, because of the advance of spring-like weather has begun to put on it's summer dress Assistant Secretary Day was at the White House for a short time in the morning and saw the President. Vice-President Ho- bart and Postma ster- General Gary also called while the President was at church.
 In the War and Navy Departments there was also lacking that evidence of activity and rush which has cnarac- terized them for so many Sundays past. In the War Department Adjutant-Gen- eral Corbin was at his desk for short time in the morning. He said there had been no changes in the details for the mobilization of troops announced some days ago, nor any important aS- sigpments of officers. The proposals from railroads for the transporting of troops from the various places where they are now located will be opened to- morrow, and the expectation is that the soldiers in many instances will begin their Journeys on the same day.
