Washington. March 4. - The secre-
tary of war has Just ordered the re-
enforcement OF Gen. Otis by six regi-
ments.
These are the Sixth artillery, now
at San Antonic; the Sixth infantry,
scattered along the Atlantic coast sta
tons; the Ninth infantry, at Madison
barracks: Thirteenth Infantry. IN New
York State; the TwcntI-!srst infantry,
ct Plattsburg. n. Y. ana the Sixteenth
infantry. at Fort Cock ;intH neighhor-
ing posts in the Middle West. These
regiments have been orti&.el to make
ready to proceed to San Francisco and
thence to Manila.
In answer to the direct question as
to whether or not these regular troops
are intended to relieve corresponding
number of volunteer soldiers at Ma
Mia it was said at the war depart
mont that While this probably would
be the case, it was not possible Yet to
make Il positive statement. This means
that if when the achievements ar
rive at Manila the conditions are sat
isfactory, the volunteers will be
brought home: but if Otis shall have
need for all of the combined force,
then they must wait. The reinforce
ment sare made up of troops who are
not only regulars in the full sense Of
the term. but who have been through
the Cuban or Porto I.;cdn campaigns.
They know what it is to be under
fire, how to hunt Indians and also
how to fight in tropical jungles. With
them replacing the same number of
volunteers Gen. Otis will have ma
| jority of regulars in his command,
something the war department has
earnestly desired to bring about at
the earliest possible moD:e.at. The po-
| sition of the American commander at
Manila also will be safeguarded
against the effect of a sudden and
forced discharge Of volunteers by the
ratification of the peace treaty.

SAGASTA DECLINES
An Invitation to Reconstruct the
Cabinet

Madrid. March 3.-The queen regent,
as the result of her consultations With
the statesmen, generals and political
leaders. Informed Senior Sagasta that
she desired to retain the present cham
Der. and she then invited him to re-
construct the cabinet. Senor Sagasta
replied that it would be impossible for
him to remain premier without disso-
luton. Thereupon the queen regent
preferred the same request to Senior
Montro Rios president of the senate,
who declined for the same reason.
Finally Sencr Silvela, the Conserva-
tive leader. accepted the task. and it
is expected that he will submit a con-
sentative ministry to her majesty for
her approval. The newspapers pre-
dict that popular demonstrations will
greet the conservative ministry. The
cortes will be dissolved. the new cleo
lions taking place toward the end Of
April, and the new chamber OF depu-
ties meeting in May.

Santiago, Cuba, March 5.-Between
1000 and 5000 men have been sud-
denly thrown cut Of work in the prov
ince of Santiago, ever TOO in the i'm
mediate neighborhood of this city.
Althoug Gov. Gen. Brooke has wired
$4,000 required for the February pay
rolls, there is still Il deficit Of nearly
$4,000. and the orders from Havana
still hold good limiting the expendit-
ures during the month OF March for
the entire province to $4,000. The eff
feet of this order on Civil Gov. Castil-
prominent in official circles is simply
paralyzing.
Mayor Bacar(ri has cabled the gov
ernor general desiring to know what
he is expected to do With such a. large
number of men suddenly thrown out
Of work.
Though we are perfectly friendly
to the Americans lie Said in the dis
patch. 1.-The present policy seems sui
cidal. for public Improvements are
greatly needed and the men also are
greatly in need OF work.
Civil Gov. Castillo wonders what
will happen. He cannot see that the
men suddenly thrown out Of employ
ment have any alternative to becom-
ing bandits, and he regrets exceeding
ly the damaging blow the province has
received. Owing TO his position he
may not comment upon the orders Of
his superiors, but he considers the
prospects very gloomy.
Worse Than the Spanish.
Groups Of men on str; ( corners. in
clubs and in cafes. opGl!y abuse the
American administration, SAYING that
the Spanish was Infinitely preferable,
as in the worst times during peace,
considerably more men We're engaged
on public works under thu old regime
than are how so employed. Probably
the full effects of the new policy will
not be visible before Monday, as the
men will receive their pay to-day. and,
although Gen. Wood does not expect
disturbances. Cubans who affect to be
cosniZant with the whole situation,
say it will be quite impossible to avoid
an outbreak of some sort. In spite OF
all the antagorism displayed toward
the American authorities at Havana,
Gen. Wood remains popular among
Cubans of all classes, who declare
Havana instructions an outrage upon
his administration.
! In the speech made at the San Carlos
| club the sentiment was that the new
orders ought to be attributed to envy
| of Gen. Woods successful methods in
| this department. and so far as the
province of Santiago is concerned the
Cubans say that if a vote were taken
tomorrow they would select him for
the highest position in the island in
preference even to any Cuban. The
new regulations have brought to a
staldstill all the improvements. in
Guiding the dredging of the harbor,
roadmaking and sewerage.
