 An official in the office of General Miles was told, 1t Is alleged. that 1t was worth $500 to have the papers in the case SO. handled that General Miles should not have opportunity to officially enforce them. That was accomplished.
 President Mckinley knows all about the case, and has just been visited by strong political workers in behalf of Captain Car ter. No effort has been made to secure q new trial. The case Is so clear that the president could do nothing but approve the findings of the court, and therefore, ths papers have been purposely kept from him. No new trial has been asked by the dis tinguished army engineer officer because new trial could not change the facts.

PLAN FOR VOLUNTEERS.
Navy Department Looking for News
 from the Newark.

Washington, June 9.-The cabinet in con- nection with the possible necessity of en- listing a force of volunteers today issued q plan for the enlistment of several skeleton regiments in Manila from among the vol unteers who desire to remain in the serv- ice and the subsequent filling out of these regiments with recruits enlisted in this country.
 General Otis, according to the plan, will be given the authority to select the officers of these regiments from among the volun- teer officers who are to be mustered out.
 The plan which comments itself to the favor of the members of the cabinet gen. erally would form a nucleus of veteran officers and men, seasoned to the climate and familiar with the work to be done. Such a force, leaVened with veterans doubtless would be immeasurably superior to a force of raw recruits, undisciplined and unacclimated.
 The plan was discussed in connection with future contingencies and did not reach the stage of action.
 The president announced to the cabinet the names of the members of the Nicara- qua canal commission and there was unanimous concurrence in the selections. The attorney general announced his opin- ion that the army reorganization bill fix ing the maximum strength Of the army at 65,000 did not include the enlisted force of the hospital corps, about 2,600 men, so that the enlisted force can be increased by that number.
 The navy department is looking for news of the United States ship Newark The cruiser sailed from Montevideo, Uruguay, on the 17th of last month, bound for Val paraiso, Chilli, and is now several days over due. The distance by way of the Cyf nf route prescribed for the ship, is little less than 5000 miles. The only stop on the way by the usual course is at Punta Aren Straights, whore coal is taken, but there is no cable connection there. Secre- tary Long positively declared that he had no doubt of the safety of the ship, though it was possible that she had been delayed through some untoward condition.

BRADSTREET'S
 REVIEW OF TRADE
UndiminiShed Industrial Activity
 in Metals.
IRON AND STEEL STRENGTH
Wool is Firm and Higher in Some Grades = Business Failures for Week Were IFS Against
 12o Last Week

New York June 9.-Bradstreet's tomorrow " will say: Exceptional firmness in prices at the highest level as regards general staple values yet reached seasonably small rate of mortality, undiminished industrial ac- tivity, manifest in all branches of trade in which iron, steel and other metals enter, and large bank clearings, reflecting to some extent the improved tone of stock, but like wise large payments on previous profitable business, are among the features not nec- essariy new, but still noteworthy, reflected in trade advances.
 Enlarged shipments of breadstuffs, a re- suit of recent buying, induced by crop dam age reports at home and abroad have, it is true, not been sufficient to offset liqui- dation on the late moderate rise, but this is partially explained by continued good advances in the spring wheat crop con- frmed by liberal receipts at primary points.
 Iron and steel display all of their old and some of their new strength in the urgent demand for the balance of the year, and the usual summer shutdown seems likely to be honored more in the breach than in the observance in this trade The outlook in the trade as regards next seasons labor scale is still unsettled.
 The usual early spring predictions of an immense reduction In cotton acreage have failed of realization, and current estimates favor a falling off of 3 to per cent. in the cotton belt, as a whole. This. added to good trade at home and abroad and ad- vices that the crop has not yet made up all the time lost by backward season, has strengthened values of the raw material slightly.
 Small supplies of old corn and reports of too much rain in some sections have helped this cereal. and are likewise reflected in hog products, but the prospects favor a very large acreage in this cereal.
 Active demand for refined sugar has ap- parently induced some retaliation in the war among refineries, and raw sugars share in the advance this week.
 Wool is firm and even higher in some grades, with fair business doing.
 Lumber retains all its strength, reflect ing the continued activity in consumption lines. In other lines business is excep- tionally good, so far at least as gross re- ceipts are concerned.
 Business failures for the week number ITS against 129 last week. but compared with 22l in this week year ago, 257 in 1897; 234 three years ago and 232 in 1895.
