that hereafter troops to be mustered

The President has practically made
no the list of the general officers to be
retained in the volunteer branch of
the service The basis of all the cal
culation is an army of $1,000 men. for
the President has SO far insisted that
he will not call for volunteers in adddi-
ton to that number unless an emer-
gercy should arise. The re-organiza-
ton act limits the number Of major
generals to be appointed to one for
each 1900 men and the brigadier gen.
erals to one for every 1000 men in ac-
tual service. On this basis. as there
are already three major generals in
the army by the persons of Gen. Miles.
Gen. Brooke and Gen. Merritt. there is
room for but two more.
TO fill these two places the President
has selected Gen. Shafter and Gen.
Otis now in command at Manila. 1t is
safe to say that the list of brigadiers
to be appointed will include the follow
ing: Gen. Wood at Santiago. Gen. Will
son at Matanzas. Gen. Lee. in the pro-
vince of Havana, Gen. Davis. now on
duty with the court of inquiry into the
beef supplies. Gen. Ludlow. in COM

thoritive quarter that Italy made no
such request for American support and
that there was no declination from this
government The circumstances of the
negotiations as explained in this au-
thoritative quarter as follows:
when Italy determined to seek a

in China notifying them of her pur-

MAY COME TO AMERICA.
English Athletes Favor Giving a
Return Match.

LONDON, July 22.-Judging from an an
nOuncement made by several speakers at
the dinner given by the Queens Club to-
night to the contesting clubs, it is evident
that the two English universities contem-
plate a return visit to America next year.
The dinner, which was given at the Ho-
tel Cecil, abounded in goodfellowship and
hilarity. Lord Jersey presided, with Jo-
seph H Choate, the United States Embas-
sador; Henry White, first secretary of the
American Embassy, and John r. Carter
secretary, on his left while the company
in addition to the teams, included Lord
Chesterfield, Lord Clarendon and many
other notable persons. The guests num-
bered 200.
Toasts were responded to by Embassa-
dor Choate and others, The Earl of Jer-
sey then presented medals toythe success
ful competitors. These medals are beauti-
full works of art in silver and bronze, with
the arms of the four colleges on either
side. AS each man came up to the table
to receive his medal he was greeted with
cheers, many Of the guests standing on
their chairs and waving their napkins.
Then came brief speeches from the cap
tains of the teams, Vassall saying he
hoped to go to America and give them
