Aim to Retake Philippines. New York, May 17.—Preparations ms at rednced rates‘of | way home} FIRST MISSOURI BRIGADE WILL GO TO CUBA SOON. A special dispatch to the Repub- lic says: The war department to day decided to send Light Battery A, Missouri Artillery to Chickamauga. They will proceed at ones and re- main there for further orders. It is probable that this battery will be sent to Cuba yery soon and will be among the first troops to invade Spanish soil. The two regiments of Missouri infantry first mustered in will go to Chickamauga, and if they complete their stock of equipments promptly, will be sent to Cuba, per- haps at the same time Light Battery A receiyes its orders tc leave Chick- amauga. It is known here that Lieutenants Moore and Hardeman, as well as other officers of the regular army | who have seen the splendid showing | of Battery A and the First and Sec- | ond regiments of Missouri's volun- | teers, have sent very flattering re- | ports of them to Washington, and {there is no doubt that all three {commands stand very high in the estimation of the secretary of war. | The splendid physical coadition of |the two regiments of infantry, the fact that both are officered by ex- | perienced officers and the reputa- j tion that the state of Missouri has for producing marksmen will result in the immediats active service for j our boys. | This arrangement, especially if the | two regiments and the battery are) | brigaded together, will please every , soldier in them, and make the doiugs | Cuba the most interesting phase of | the coming campaign.

In the city of London (the finan- cial district) to day great depression prevailed. Rumors were flying about that the government proposes to offer a large issue of exchequer bills to form a war chest. A further rise in the bank rate was freely predicted. MR. CHAMBERLAIN S OBJECT. Mr. Chamberlain’s main and im- mediate object is known to be to force France to evacuate Broussa, West Africa, even at the risk of war. It has leaked out that in his private talk to bankers last Thursday, Lord Salisbury said that the West African question is the most serious matter the cabinet now has to deal witb, and that its satisfactory solution seems well nigh impossible This anticipatory declaration by the prime minister gives gravity to Mr. Chamberlain's speech which it otherwise might have lacked, because of the universal suspicion that he was playing simply his own hand. Unique Present to Sampson. Washington, May 13.—Interest was excited at the Navy Department to-day by the receipt of a registered mail package addressed to Admiral Sampson, which cleverly connected the biblical incident of the devasta- tion wrought by the Herculean Sampson with the jawbone of an ass and the memorable catastrophe of that Matanzas mule which figured in recent accounts of the destruction of Punta Gorda battery by the flag- ship New York.
