Rules to Which the Government Will Adhere, An outline of the policy to be followed by this government in the treatment of neu- trals and the matter of privateering fs con- tained in the following statement: “In the event of hostilities between the United States and Spain, it will be the pol- icy of this government not to resort to privateering. The government will adhere to the following rules: “First, neutral flag covers enemy’s goods, with the exception of contraband of war; not contraband of second, neutral goods wer are not liable to confiscation under enemy's flag; third, blockades in order to be binding must be effective.” his doctrine is laid down to meet the fous inquiries received by the diplo- tic representatives of the United States frem foreign governments as to the attitude assumed by the United States. It is sub- stantially in line with the rules practiced in the recent Chinese-Japanese war and places the United States in a most ad- ced position so far as the protection of individual property and neutral goods at sea is concerned. By it Spanish goods are made free from seizure on the seas in the bottoms of a neutral power. This decision on the part of our government will doubt- less be welcomed in Europe. ee Balloons for the Army. General A. W. Greely, chief signal officer, has detailed Lieutenant Joseph E. Max- field, stationed at New York, to take charge of all matters pertaining to the question of providing balloons for the use of the army. Lieutenant Maxfield has rendered efficient service in supervising the work incidental to the connection of the forts in New York harbor by electricity. ——e ——___—_— Bids for Subsistence Suppli The commissary office of the War De- partment has issued advertisements invit- ing p ls for furnishing subsistence supplies for the army in such quantities as may be called for, and which will be regu- lated entirely by the size of the army at the time the supplies are needed. The bids will be opened at the end of the present month in New York, Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City and New Orleans. A Library to Fit a Catalogue. Frem the London Globe. Our Venice correspondent writes: It is ar. everyday occurrenc? to make a cata- logue to fit a library, but is a very unusual one to make a library to fit a catalogue! But tnis is what it is now proposed to do in Italy, and not by a bibllophile with a fad, but by Signor Condronchi, the minister of public instruction. The catalogue exists, it is a very extensiv> one, and it is unique. Its compilation has been the work of four- teen centuries, and it is stil’ being added to at the present time; so it is no small thing rat Signor Condronchi thinks to unde take. This catalcgue was b2gun under Gellatius in 494, and is none other the famous papal “Index Librorum than Prokibitorum.” ‘This idea was brought forward some short time back by Signor Raelli, one of the editors of “Don Chisclotto,” in an ar- ticle in the “Nuova Antologia,” in which he showed that a nuclous for such a libra- ry already exisis in a room in the National Library of Florence. It consists of 9,000 volumes, chiefly connected with the refor- tion in Italy, collected by the late Count ictro Guiceianiini, who becam2 a Prot- estant at the time of the persecution and imprisonment of the Madiai, and presznted by him to his native city. The municipality of Florence, after the fall of the grand duke, were anti-clerical enough to accept the gift, but not enough so as to give the beoks public honor by placing them pub- licly cn the shelves, so for many years they were stowed away in the and it is enly quite lately that they have at last re- ce'v-d a worthy resting place. These books pre all, necessarily, in the index, and it struck Signor Raelli that it would be a most useful and instructive thing if round this nucleus could be-gathered all the num- bers of prohibited books which are known to be in >xistence in safe hiding. Many there are scattered about the world, in pri- vate libraries, in odd nooks and corners all over the world, which would quickly come to light were it known they would find sure keeping in this nove! library, which would certainly be the most curious and unique ene in the world. Once formed, this library would serve to show historically the inces- t and determin2d opposition to and per- secution of all advances fn original thought scientific investigation, for no inspira- n of gerius, as Signor Rae!li says, no in- tellectuai or moral effort, no honest rebe 2 ainst tyranny over mind or body es.

PLAN OF CAMPAIGN KEPT SECRET Fleets Are Ready, but Army Can- not Now Co-Operate. REGIMENTS ALL MOVING It seems to be the common understanding that in view of the action of the Spanish government there is now no occasion for delay on tne. part of our government in acting upon the joint resolution directing intervention, for the refusal of the Spanish government to receive the communication, knowing its character, 1s to be construed only as a refusal of ite conditions. There- fore, {t may be that movements of our army and navy will follow at any moment in the direction of expelling the Spanish forces from Cuba, and it will not be neces- sary to wait until Saturday noon before making these. It is still absolutely unknown to any one outside the administration proper, and even in that case only to a few, how the cam- paign shall be directed, and any attempt to outline publicly its details is bitterly re- sented by the army and navy officers who are charged with the preparations of the strategic plans of the two departments. The fleet as Key West fs understood to be ready to rove at a moment’s notice, but it is the impression that no useful purpose can be served hy sending it to Cuba in advance of the arrival at Key West of a sufficient number of United States troops to co-operate with the navy in offensive operations and to occupy any ground that may be won from the Spanish fore: The flying squadron at Hampton Roads is also in a state of readiness for instant action, but it is surmise that its present function is rather to keep an eye on the Spanish movements and be ready to defend quickly any point cn the coast that might be threatened by Spanish cruisers. ‘The naval officials refuse most positively to say whcther they intend to force an issue by sending supplies to the reconven- trados in Cuba on a merchant ship convoy- ed by a man-of-war. It is known that this plan has been under consideration, but a suggestion has been made that the Span- fards might avoid the issue entirely by permitting the merchant ship to land the stores without molestation and then right afterward scize the stores for their own use. Adjutant General Corbin of the army is in receipt of telegrams from commanding officers of troops throughout the country showing that every regiment of infantry, cavalry and artillery ordered to the south has started on its way there. cases where the distances were not over two days’ travel to the mobilizing points the regiments have already reached their destinations. It is hoped that all will have been settled comfortably and the discipline of military life be fully under way when General Miles and the aids on his staff start on their tour of inspection in the lat- ter part of the week. Offers of Troops. The War Department continues to receive offers of troops transmitted through gov- ernors, other state officials and by individ- uals. At the same time the department is overrun with inquiries as to the possibility of an early call for troops and the number which will be required. To messages ot the latter class Secretary Alger is making a general reply that the first call for troops will be limited exclusively to the National Guard. The number, it is stated at the War Department ioday, nas not yet been definitely determined ypon, nor has the plan and detail of the call been perfected. Nothing, it is said, concerning the latter will be made public until action is had by Congress on the volunteer army bill. Ex-Delegate Murphy of Arizona was at the War Department this morning, in ac- cordance with a request from Gov. Mc- Cerd of that territory, and submitted to Secretary Alger an offer of the governor to ratse 1,000 troops for use in the army. Mr. Murphy has no doubt that the men will be a most valuable addition to any army sent to occupy Cuba. A_ thou- sand men, composed of hardy plainsmen and vigorous mountaineers, can readily be obtained, who, with the experience they have had, could successfully resist the hardships of climate and travel to be met with in a tropical climate or a mountain- ous or hilly country. The Key West Trouble. Army officers attach little importance to the trouble which occurred iast night at Key West between Sergt. Williams of Company G of the 25th Colored Infantry and a policeman, which culminated in a uccessful demand on the sheriff for the release of Williams after he had been lock- ed up. Occurrences of that character, they say, are not infrequent when there is a fresh arrival of soldiers, and the matter is too trivial to be made the subject of any serious consideration. Ne report of the fair has reached here erd none is looked for, The commanding officer will take charge of the case and do what seems best in the matter. Naturally a repetition of such or similar occurrences between the civilian and military classes would lead to the discussion of the propriety of proclaim- ing martial law over the districts where the troops are mobilized, but it is not be- lieved that such a matter has yet been at al' brought formally to the attention of tw: President. Major Gardner's Visit. _ Major Asa Bird Gardner of New York had a brief interview with Secretary Al- ger this mornirg regarding the volunteer army bill that passed the House yester- day, during which he pointed out what he regarded as some constitutional objections to that feature ef the bill concerning the appointment of officers of regiments on the recommendation of the governors of the states. Other callers who saw Secretary Alger teday were Senators Gear, Kyle and Hale, and Representative Cannon, chairman of the House committee on appropriations. Army Orders, Major John W. Pullman, quartermas:er, will preceed from this city to Mobile, Ala., for duty as quartermaster at that ptace. First Lieut. Robert G. Paxton, 10th Cay- alry, will report to the commanding officer, 6th Cavalry, at Fort Myer, Va., for tem- Forary, duty, and will accompany that regiment to Chickamauga Park, where, upon arrival, he will foin his proper com- mand. Lieut. Col. Frank G. Smith, 6th Artillery, in addition to his duties as a member and secretary of the Chickamauga and Chatta. nooga National Park commission, will re- port for duty as inspector of artillery of that department, with station at Ati!arta, Ga. An army retiring board is appointed to meet at Baltimore for the examination of such officers as may be ordered before it. + The detail for the board is: Major Geo. B. Rodney, 4th Artillery; Capt. Marlbor- ovgh C. Wyeth, assistant surgeon; Capt. Geo. D. DeShon, assistant surgeon; Capt. James L. Wilson, 6th Artillery; First Licut, Arthur F. Curtis, 6th Artillery; Second | Brig. Gen. S. T.

Brainard, commissary of subsistence, is relieved from his present duties in the Department of the Columbia, and will proceed to this city and report to the commissary general of subsistence. Capt. Theodore E. True, assistant quar- termaster, now at Vancouver Barracks, Washington, will repair to this city for fur- ther orders. The ext2nsion of leave of absence granted Post Chaplain I. Newton Ritner is further extended six months on surgeon's certifi- cate of disability. The extension of leave granted Major Ju- nius W. MacMurray, 5th Artillery, is fur- ther 2xtended two months, on surgeon's certificate of disability. At the request of the major general com- manding the army, the following named of- flcers are temporarily relieved from their present duties by the Secretary of War, and will report to the major general com- manding the army for duty: Lieut. Col. William Ludlow, corps of engineers; Lieut. Col. Charles F. Humphrey, deputy quarter- raster general; Major Henry B. Osgood, ccmmissary of subsistenc2. The following transfers are made: First Lieut. Hollis C. Clark, from the 10th In- fantry to the 25th Infantry, Company F; First Lieut. George C. Saffarrans, from the 25th Infantry to the 10th Infantry, Com- pany A. Gen, Miles’ Tour of Inspection. Gen. Miles, commanding the army, said this morning that so far as he knew there would be no change in the location of the headquarters of the army and that it would remain at Washington unless unlooked-for circumstances made it necessary to locate it elsewhere. He said that he had not yet completed his plans, but that he would leave here in a few days—probably Satur- day—for a tour of inspection of the points chosen for the mobilization of the troops in the south—Chickamauga, Tampa, Mobile and New Orleans. He will also visit At- lanta, Ga., the headquarters of the depart- ment of the gulf, in order to confer with Gen. Graham, commander of that depart- ment, as to tho best method of distributing and moving the troops. He will be ac- companied by several of his aids, and will first visit the camp at Chickamauga. The trip will occupy about a week or ten days and will enable the general commanding the army to have personal knowledge of the condition of ail the troops under his command in the field. Capt. James Allen of the Signal Corps has been assigned to duty on the staff of Gen. Miles as signal officer. This officer served with Gen. Miles in a similar cepacity during his Indian campaigns, The army retiring board, of which Gen. J. C, Breckinridge was president, has made & report to the Secretary of War that eral of subsistence, 1s incapacitated for further active duty, and has recommended that ke be placed on the retired list of the army. The Secretary of War ‘will un- doubtedly act in accordance with this rec- ommendation. The impression prevails in military circles that h, as- sistant commissary general, of subsistence, who was recently ordered to duty in this city, will sveceed to the vacancy at the head of the subsistence department, v: cated by the retirement of Gen. Cushing. Col. Nash has been stationed at St. Louis for several months. Stations of Officers Changed. The following changes have been made in the stations of officers-of the pay de- tment of the army: Col. G. E. Glenn, from New York city to Atlanta, Ga., for duty as chief paymaster of the department of the gulf. Maj. Charles 1. Wilson, from this city to New York city, as chief paymaster of the department of the cd Maj. Charles McClur Hamner, Maj. W. F. Maj. Wm. Tucker and M ticns to Atlanta, Ga., for duty in the de- partment of the gulf. Maj. Elljfah W. Halford, from duty at Denver, Col., to New Orleans, as chief pay- master cf that department. Captain Frank D. Baldwin, 5th Infantry, has been relieved from duty as acting In- | dan agent at the Kiowa agency, Okla., and assigned to duty as acting inspector gen- eral of the department of Dakota. Lieutenant A. J. Bowley, 4th Artillery, has been assigned to” duty with Light Bat. tery F of that regiment. Licutenant J. M. Williams, 1st Artillery, is transferred to the 7th Artillery. Captain A. D. Niskern, recently appoint- ed commissary of subsistence, has been as- signed to duty under General J. J. Cop- pinger, commanding the troops at Mobile, Ala. The leave of Captain W. P. Goodwin, 14th Infantry, has been extended three months, on account of sickness. Lieutenant Colonel J. M. Marshall, deputy quartermaster general, has been granted five months’ leave of absence. Changes have been made in the stations of oflicers of the subsistence department as follows: Lieutenant Colonel J. F. Weston, from New York city to the Chickamauga National Park; Major Welles Willard to duty as purchasing commissary at New York city; Major H. G. Sharp, from Boston to Tampa, Fla.; Captain J. M. Hyde, to Guty at Boston, Mass. The following named officers have been relieved from duty at Willetts Point, N. Y., and ordered to join their regiment: First Lieutenant William H. Wilhelm, 14th In- fantry; First Lieutenant William O. John- son, 2d Infantry; First Lieutenant Harry J. Hirsh, 18th Infantry; First Lieutenant Robert L. Hamilton, 5th Infantry; Second Lieutenant John S. Murdock, 25th Infantry; Second Lieutenant Arthur M. Edwards, 3d Infantry; Second Lieutenant Fred G. Strit- zinger, jr., 23d Infantry; Second Lieutenant Joseph S. Herron, ist Cavalry; Second Lieutenant Walter S. McBroom, 18th In- fantry; Second Lieutenant Oscar J. Charles, 10th Infantry. The travel enjoined is neces- sary for the public service. The Volunteer Army Bil The Senate committe on military affairs today authorized a favorable report on the volunteer army bill with general amend- ments. The most important amendment suggest- ed by the Senat? military committee to the volunteer army bill is one reducing the time of enlistment of members of the Na- tional Guard, where the guard of each state enlists as a body, from thrze years to one. This change was made because of the be- lief that the National Guard of many states would go as a body for a year, but not for three years, and this is considered an im- portant advantage. Ccl. Henry C. Cook, who commanded the 5th Infantry at Fort McPh2rson, Ga., has been placed on the retired list on account of disabilities incident to the service. He has been succeeded in command of the 5th Regi- ment by Lizut. Col. H. D. Freeman of that regiment, who has been stationed in Okla- homa. o-—____ REVOCATION OF DETAIL. Officer Wilson’s Release From Se! vice With Humane Soctety. The chief of police has recommended that Officer Samuel Wilson, who has been on duty in connection with the Humane So- ciety for several years, be released from such detail. The recommendation has re- celved the approval of Commissioner Wight, who has immediate charge of the police department, and it will in turn prob- ably be indorsed by the board of Commis- sicners. It is und2rstood that Officer Wilson's course in connection with the placing of children in charitable institutions has not received the approval of the board of chil- dren’s guardians, and it is said Maj. Moore made the recommendation in order to avoid any further conflict or clash in the matter. Officsr Wilson, it is stated, has been in the habit of placing children taken from que: tionable associations in charitable institu- tions without first having recourse to the courts. The board of children’s guardian: it is explained, insisted that in such cases the children should have first be2n carried into court, and their commitment legally secured, It is on this matter of procedure the al- leged differences and conflicts occurr=4, and, as Officer Wilson is said to be not now indispensable to the Humane Society, and as his services are greatly need2d for du- ties wholly in connection with the pclice force, Mr. Wight argued with the chief of police that a happy solution of the matter could be mad2 by revoking his detail for duty in connection with the Humane So- clety. MUST COMPLETE EQUIPMENT. Garbage Scows and Wharves to Con- form to Requirements. The District Commissioners have directed Mr. J. N. Warfield, the contractor for the collection and disposal of garbage, tc carry into effect the pian recently adopted ; by them for the equipment of the con- tractor’s scows and wharves. The plan, as was Stated in The Star at the time, was stggested by Dr. Woodward, the health officer, and under it the wharf must be so arranged that the garbage carts can be flushed over an impervious surface, water connections being, of course, essential. Dr. Woodward explains in his p'an that the scows should not exceed in capac seventy-five tons. Their sides should be built up so as to prevent garbage from finding its way overboard, and so con- structed that the escape of water into the river will occur ly through three holes en either side. Sul-stantial covers should be provided. All parts of the scow which come in centact with the garbage should be tarred or covered with some other ater-proof material. All other parts of the scow should be well painted with some not too conspicuous coior. If the wharves be not so arranged as to permit scows to lie partly under them, so that the garbage will fall directly into the receptacle intended for it, chutes should be provided so as to accomplish this end. It should be distinctly under- stood at the outset, the health officer states, that garbage is to be delivered at both the G street and South Capitol street wharves during the entire year, except when it is being cremated, cpproximately equal amounts being taken to each wharf and the area of collection for each being the territory lying adjacent to it. —>—— Suit for an Accounting. A bill in equity was filed today by the Central Construction Company against the Ohio National Bank, asking that the de- fendant be directed to disclose the phases of a transaction involving the sale of cer- tain receiver's certificates of the Tennessee Central railroad, and to render an account- ing. ae “Want” ads. in The Star pay because they bring answers.
