Michigan For Burrows.

From the Grand Rapids Herald.
Michigan wants Senator Burrows re-
elected. Three fourths of the members of
the coming legislature have been instructed
for him, or have publicly expressed pre-
ference for his return to the United States
senate. The delegation from western Mich
igan is unit for him. q A majority of the
members from eastern Michigan favor him.
The republican party needs him, demands
his return, and will have no one else.
1t could not be otherwise. Senator
Burrows has always beenia republican and
has always stood on republican principles.
Since the party was organized his voice has
been heard in every campaign. For quar-
ter of century he has been in public life
and his record is the pride of our state He
sat with Mckinley In committee and help.
ed make the Mckinley tariff law. He took
the place of John Sherman on the senate
conferees who completed that law, and he
has just pride in its benefits to the Ameri
can people. He has never failed to foster
aud care for the interests of Michigan.
For a third Of century Senator Burrows
has given constant aid to the repub licans o
Michigan and no one has done more effect
ual party service. In the recent campaign
he gave Michigan his undivided attention
and worked day and night from the begin
ming to the end. No one did more than he t.
win complete party victory.
Under present conditions it would be {
party blunder to elect anyone else. Under
present sentiment it will be party treason
for republican member from western
Michigan to vote against him, Burrows
has always been for Michigan and Michigan
is now for Burrows.

What 1t Means.

The election of Joseph w. F0rdney for
representative from the eighth district In
congress, is victory for honest politics and
honorable methods of conducting cam
paign. From the outset the republican COM
mittee determined that there should be nc
misjudging, no ISLANDERS, no abuse OF the
fusion candidate 1t was expected that this
would be met with like treatment at the
hands of those who were interested In the
success of the opposing candidate. But
such was not the outcome. Scurrillous let
tiers were scattered through the district too
vile to appear In the public prints, and the
authors of which were ashamed to attach
their signatures thereto, while the most out
rageous ISLANDERS were resorted to for the
purpose of defeating the republican NOM
inee and smirching his fair fame.
The verdict of the people is protest
against such campaign methods that poiiti-
clans In this county, who have placed reli-
ance in misjudging and ISLANDERS, will DO
well to profit by. The people Of Saginaw
county and the Eighth congressional district
are too fair minded and intelligent to be in
fiuenced by such methods, and that they
TOOK occasion to rebuke the campaign meth.

Special Dispatch to The Call

WASHINGTON. May s.-Secretary Porter made the following statement tonight concerning the authenticity of certain alleged comments by the President on this weeks war specials of prominent newspapers:
 that it seems that some official state ment should be made concerning them. The quotations alluded to are bogus, not only in text, but in substance. The Presi- representatives of the press or to in- dividuals Since his inauguration he has adhered strictly to the policy of not talking for publication, and this will con- tinue to be the invariable rule in the fu- ture Any other course would be in judicious, for reasons which need not be dwelt upon. The same applies to Mrs Mckinley, who has several times re- gently been misquoted as having granted authorized interviews.
 The President and administration, of course, rejoice in all the reputable suc- cesses of American journalism, of which we have many fine specimens nowadays, but self-audation and exaggeration de- tract from, rather and add to the bril- liancy of these achievements. Our papers should prize truth not less than boldness and push.

But He Will Not Proceed Until the Troops
 Arrive.
Several Forts Remain on the Philippines Which the Fleet
 Must Soon Reduce.

NEW YORK May s.-The Herald s Tn anticipation of the dispatch of troops to Manila, the Commissary General of Subsistence has directed the prepara- tion and shipment to San Francisco of 60, 900 rations, sufficient to last 5000 men four months.
 The cruiser Charleston, 1t was defi- nitely determined by the Naval War Board to-day, will not start for the Philippines before next week, so that she will act as a convoy to the troops and supply ships
 Acting Admiral Dewey, the conqueror of Manila, still has considerable work to perform before the destruction of Spanish power in the Far East is com plete. Iloilo, capital of the Island of Panay, which is fortified and gar risoned by Spanish troops, remains to be taken, and there are one or two points in the Philippines which the guns of his fleet will be called upon to reduce. Confident, however, that Spain's power in the Philippines has been broken by the victory of Manila. the authorities have directed Rear Admiral Dewey t. remain with his squadron in the harbor, where he Is now anchored, until the troops which will be sent to his assistance reach their destination.
 AS an encoura cement to the officers under Dewey's command to continue their gallant work, l understand that there is some talk in official circles of the advisability of reWarding their bravery by promoting them.
 Section 1906 of the Revised Statutes provides that "any officer of the navy may, by the President with consent of the Senate, be advanced not exceed ing thirty numbers in rank for eminent and conspicuous conduct in battle or extraordinary heroism; and the rank of the officers shall not be changed, eX- cept in accordance with the provisions of existing law and by and with the advice and consent of the senate"
 If the President, as now seems highly probable. takes "dvantage of the au- thority conferred upon him b. this law it will be possible for him immediately to promote Captain Frank Wildes, co ,.ai-ding the Boston, to flag rank; to jump Captain J. B. Coghlan, com manding the Raleigh, from No 34 on the list of captains to No. 4; Captain c. V. Gridley, commanding the Olym- pia, to No 5. and Captain N. M. Dyer from No. 40 to 10. There are two officers of the grade of commander in comman1 of ships of the Asiatic sta tion, Commander Asa Walker, in com- mand of the Concord, and Commander E. P. Wood, commanding tho Petrel. Commander Wal. is now Mo- 40 on the list of officers of his grade, and if he should be nominated for advance ment he -'''d be promoted to the tenth point, while Commander Wood would be, made the forty-fifth officer of the grad of commander, instead of the seventy fifth. It is not likely that any thing will be done by the President with reference to the officers of the Asiatic squadron until the mail reports from Rear Admiral Dewey are re- ceiVed

ARMY TO BE LANDED
 IN CUBA AT ONCE
Washington Post Declares the Inva- sion of the Island Is Not to
 Be Delayed

WASHINGTON, May S--'>e Wash ington Post tomorrow will say: Be- tween 60,O00 and SO,000 men will be landed on Cuban soil at once. They will wear the uniform of the United States. and they will not return until they have defeated the Spanish forces on the island and the American flag floats as proudly over Havana as it does over the ruins of the Cavite fort ress in Manila harbor. This is the idea of the military advisers ~r the admin istration, and the President approved the plans.
 The first section of the army to in wade Cuba will be the 15,000 or 18,000 troops that are now assembled at New Orleans and Tampa They are all reg ulars, and most of them are men who have seen actual fighting on the plains They are seasoned, disciplined, effec- tive They will be followed at once by another army of 50000 volunteers, who will be concentrated at Southern ports as quickly as the trains can carry them, and will be transported as fast as the necessary ships can be collected.
 It is estimated that it will take at least three hundred vessels to carry this immense army to Cuba. Nearly everything that floats has already been secured by the Government, and last night the wires wer2 hot in all directions, directing contracts to be closed immediately in all the principal seaport towns.
 Other details of the great expedition have been arranged Within forty eight hours there will be 2000 wagons at Tampa and 12,000 mules. Several hun dred ambulances will also be hurried to Tampa. Thy may be needed Battles are not all like the one which has just been fought in Manila Harbor

Captain Miley En Route to Washington From
 Tampa.
Result of the Meeting Between DOrst and Cuban In-
 SurgentS.
Breaking Out of Yellow Fever al Key West Causes Uneasiness
 Among Soldiers.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TAMPA. Fla, May S.-Captain J. H.
 Miley, senior aid de camp to Major General Shafter, left Tampa very
 quietly last night for Washington to report to General Miles.
 Captain Miley's visit to Washington has an important bearing on the future course of events here, as 1t is said on good authority that he bears with him the report of Captain J. H. Dorst as to the results of the latter's meeting last week with General Delgado of the Gu ban insurgents near Havana. Captain Miley also has Lieutenant Colonel Law tons report on his meeting at Key West on Friday with officers of the American blockading squadron, Major General Shafter's recommendation as to the plan of campaign in the contem- plated Cuban invasion, and plans of Lieutenant Colonel Ludlow chief of engineers, regarding Notifications, etc., at the point of landing in Cuba.
 Captain Miley will return to Tampa immediately after his mission is ac- complished. The work of preparing the transports flaS been delayed good deal by the non-arrival of material, and it will be Wednesday, perhaps later, before tn1S WOrk IS accomplished. But outside of the delay in the prepar- ations, no American troops will be landed on Cuban soil until the question of superiority in the Atlantic is settled between Admiral Simpsons squadron and the Spanish fleet, and settled de- cisively. High army officials make this statement.
 They say it would be taking needless chances to send an army into Cuba be- fore the Spanish fleet is disposed of, and until the meeting of the American and Spanish fleets takes place no one here believes orders to move will be re- ceived.
 Services were held at both the Tampa and Port Tampa grounds to-day by the regimental chaplains. There was no drilling and thousands of soldiers at- tended the services. The sermons in every case were of an intensely patri- otic character.
 Reports of the breaking out of yellow fever at Key West among the prize crew of the Argonauta have caused some uneasiness among the soldiers here, probably in view of the fact that two companies of the Twenty-fifth Regiment arrived from Key West yes- terday and are now in camp here. Should these reports prove true 1t is probable that a rigid quarantine will be esta blished.

INDUCING ENLISTMENT
 IN THE REGULAR ARMY.
Concessions Granted to Soldiers Whose Term of Service
 Has Exnired

WASHINGTON. May S.-Secretary Alger has in preparation a letter to General Brooke, commanding the regi- ments mobilized at Chickamauga, in which he says that soldiers re-enlisting in the regular army during the war may be informed that they will be granted their discharges, if desired. at the close of the war, upon their individ- ual application. This action was taken because of the news which has come from Chickamauga that very few of the men whose services are expiring are re-enlisting because they express a preference for the volunteer service.

PRAISE OF THE ENGLISH PRESS
 FOR BRAVE DEWEY

LONDON, May 9.-The comment on the battle at Man. as the details come in. is universally fattering to Commodore Dewey and the American navy
 The Times says: "The destruction of the Spanish fleet was complete, as com- plete as any achievement recorded in naval annals, Commodore Dewey show ing himself worthy alike of the great traditions of the United States navy and of his kirship with the race that produced Nelson"
 The Standard says: Commodore Dew hGs evidently taken as his model for dispatch writing, that laconic Brit iSh sailor of famous memory, who re- ported a decisive naval victory thus: Engaged eneE-~ yesterday. Captured ships as per margin
 The Daily News says: Commodore Dewey's dispatch in their condolences and modesty, are in accordance with the best naval traditions. The battle establishes record among contests of the kind, for one of the combatants de- stroyed the whole fleet of he other without himself suffering any loss whatever. The victors carried the whore job through in a thoroughly workmanlike manner. It is especially worth noting that the discipline of the American ships is reported to have been perfect; for many Spanish authorities and some independent critics thought that this might be a weak point on the American side. The excellence of the American tactics and the superiority of craftsmanship are likely to be a per manent factor in this war. The chief lesson which the battle of Manila en- forces as what everybody knew before, namely. that under modern conditions of warfare, no amount of personal bravery can Iosi ly make up a de- fc iency in weight and large metal"
