MARYLAND'S ALLOTMENT CHANGED Bureau Chiefs Directed Not to Give Information. ——— eee TO EXAMINE ae VOLUNTEERS * Consul General Lee was at the Navy and War Departnents for some time during the day. In the former place he called on Assistant Secretary Roosevelt and talked with him at length on the Cuban situation. Later, at the War Department, he visited ajt. Gen. Corba. Gen. Lee's name has been mentioned repeatedly in connection with his appointment as a major generai in the volunteer army, but, if he has re- ceived any pron:ises from the President in this direction, he declines to admit it, and that he knows nothing of Mr. Mc- Kinley’s intentions. In three or four days Lee expects to finish the business h catled him here, including that of a personal character and that with the State Department, and will return to his home in Richmond. Further than that he will not say what his movements will be. In a brief talk during his passage through the corridors from the Navy to the War Department, the consul general said that he had read the reports of the bombard- ment of Matanzas by several of the ve $ of Admiral Sampson's fleet. The reporte silencing of them dees not seem to surpri: rim, as from their formation, tly of sé me, he believes they could be easty reduced. He also thovght the forts at Ha- . being constructed ‘Uy of the same might also be effectively bom- ded by the formidable warships of Ad- miral Sampson's fleet. Maryland's Allotment Changed. Senator-clect McComas of Maryland made an earnest effort at the War Department teday to induce the government to accept the serviccs of the entire Ist, 4th and 5th Maryland regiments. As a result of his representaticns the War Department hes made some modifications in the origi crder apportioning the troops that Mary- lend is asked to furnish. In place of the s the senator was given to understand that the state will have an opportunity to send two battalions of in- fantry. This will make one regiment and two battalions of infantry as the state quota, and it may be that the law can be construed as to permit the two bat- talions to form a regiment which would give the state two regiments of infantry. Every change that is made in the origi- nal allotment, cither in the character of the troops called for from each state or the rumber, involves a change elsewhere in the list of states, and the officials are at their wit’s ends to carry out the orders for these changes, mostly made upon the solicitation of senatcrs and representatives, without completely disarranging the plans of cam- paign and largely exceeding the number of men called for by the President. It is said that President Lincoln encountered milar difficulty when he made his fir: call for volunteers, and was obliged to eé: ceed the nuraber called upon by about 25 per cent in concession to the patriotic up- rising of the people. The request on the governor of Colorado for one fight battery of artillery hav’ been rescinded by the War Department that state will be asked to furnish instead some cavalry troops, probably two com- panies. The exact number has not yet been determined upon. Cc. E, MeMichacl Selected. Based on the published statement tha? the Presid2nt would probably nominate to the Senate some of the efficers for the volunteer regiments today, there was a great rush at the War Department and White House cf senators and represenia- tives who ar. king appointments for some ef their constituents. It appears that the state cf Pennsylvania has earned the honor of securing the very first appoint- under the terms of the voluntec| y bill, for the President has selected mpbell Emory MeMichael as assistant adjutant general of volunteers. ‘This ap- pointraent must be submitted to the Senate for its approval, and is expected to go in today or tomorrow. Mr. McMichael fs a son of Col. Clayton McMichael, owner cf the Philadelphia North American, and present city treasurer at Philadelphia, who was also, during the Arthur administra- tion, marshal of the District of Coluabia. His uncle, Gen. William McMichael, was tant adjutant general on the staff of jor General Thomas during the civil war, where he served with distinction. Poth Mr. MeMichael’s father and crard- father were also army officers. The new so. a appointee enters the service with the high- est testimonials. Senator Frye has brought to the atten- tion of the President the claims of Adel- bert Ames, now of Lowell, Mass., for ap- pointment as a major general under the new act. He served with distinction dur- ing the war as major general of volun- teers and married the daughter of Gen. Benjxmin Butler. Representatives Tender Servics. Three representatives addressed letters to the Secretary of War tendering their services as soldiers. They are Representa- tives Jenkins of Wisconsin, Walker of Vir- ginia and Wheeler of Alabama. They ask no specific apreintment, but simply tender their services. igrew of North Dakota was successful after an interview with Secre- tary Alger in securing the detail of Lieut. Frost, regular army, to serve colonel for the volunteer regiment to be equipped by North Dakota It has been arranged that Battery A of Danville, Tll., shali be mustered into regu- lar service. Under the call of the Presi- dent, Illinois was not asked to send any artillery, but the order will be modified in this respect, and Capt. Yeager will be al- lowed to carry his battery into +) camp of the state troops. > An Order Against Newszgiving. Gen. Shafter, with his adjutant general, Col. Babcock, is expected to leave Wash- ington tonight on his return to New Or- leans. The War Department is very se- riously concerned over the publication in some of the morning papers of its inten- tion to select General Shafter to command | the first detachment of troops to be sent to Cuba. To prevent any further disclos- ure of the plans of campaign of the depart- ment Secretary Alger this morning issued a most sweeping order directing all of the bureau chiefs of the War Department and all of the officers on special duty, from the highest to the lowest, under no circum- stances to give any information to the press on any subject connected with the war. While this seems to work a hardship upon the newspapers that feel impelled to aid rather than obstruct the government in its campaign, it is said to be necessary to meet the present conditions. The samo state of affairs exists in the Navy Depart- ment. The Mounted Riflemen. The orders to Capt. Leonard Wood with reference to the organization of a regiment of mounted riflemen (the rough riders) have been amended so as to direct him to preceed to the following named places fo> the recruitment of the regiment: Musco- gee, I. T.; Guthrie, O. T.; Santa Fe, N. M.; Presectt, Ariz.; Carson City, Nev.; Selt Lake City, Utah. Capt. Wood will examine the volunteers for the regiment as to their physical qual- ifieations, and is authorized to muster into the United States service these accepted. To Exa ne Volunteers, Officers of the medical department have been ordered to examine volunteers as to their physical qualifications as follows: Capt. William E. Purviance, Major Harry O. Perley, Major Robert H. White, Lieut. Col. Alfred A. Woodhull, Major Ezra Woodruff, Capt. M. C. Wyeth, Major Henry S. Kilbourne, Major Blair D. Tay- lor, Major Louis Erechemin, Capt. H. P. Birmingham, Capt. William J. Wakeman, Capt, G. J. Newgarden, Major John M. Banister, Lieut. Col. William H. Gardner, Capt. C. Woodruff, Capt. H. R. Stiles, Major Leuis W. Crampton, Capt. G. E. Bushnell, Capt. Benj. Munday, Major Philip F. Harvey, Capt. J. D. Glennan, Capt. C. B. Ewing, Major Egon A. Koer- per, Major Charles B. Byrne, Capt. W. C. Gorgas, Major Lovis M. Maus, Capt. F. A. Winter, Major Velery Havard, Capt. E ward R. Morris, Major J. D. Hall, Major C. L. Heizmann, First Lieut. W. F. Lewis, Major W. F. Carter, Capt. E. A. Mearns, Capt. J. R. Kean, Major G. W. Adair, Capt. J. L. Phillips, Capt. B. L. Ten Eyck, Lieut. Col. Henry R. Tilton, Major Curtis E. Munn. ——+-2-.___ LOCAL RAILWAY BIL! Those on the Senate Calendar to Be Taken Up Next Thursday. An agreement has been made between Mr. McMillan, chairman of the Senate com- mittee on the District of Columbia, and Senator Pettigrew, by which all the local railway bills on the Senate calendar wilf come up for final consideration next Thurs- Gay immediately after the routine busin of the Senate has been disposed of. All of the street railway bills have been held up for about a month because of Mr. Petti- grew’s objection. Mr. Pettigrew has of- fered an amendment to all of the bills pro- viding that the government may purchase them after five years if it sees fit, and he wishes to speak on this amendment at seme length. Next Thursday it is believed that Mr. Pettigrew’s amendment will be disposed of, so that the railroad bills may be passed by the Senate. —_—_—__-o-+ Death of Mrs. Judd. Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Judd, widow of John G. Judd, died Wednesday evening of pneumonia after a short illness. Funeral services were held at the residence of the brother of the deceased, Mr. John D. Bart- lett, 923 Rhode Island ‘avenue, this morn- ing at 11 o'clock. The interment, which was private, was at Oak Hill cemetery. AT THE WHITE HOUSE The President Held Many Conferencer age Gossip as to the Successor to Mr. Theodore Roosevelt. MR. HITT’S FIRST CALL eS ee = The President’s ante-cabinet callers were Senators Cullom, Nelson, Fairbanks, Platt,. Aldrich and Hanna, Representatives Hitt, Bailey and Meyer and Wm. Astor Chanler, the African explorer. Senator Platt {s represented as having asked the President to appoint Gen. Stew- art L. Woodford a major general. Sena- tor Platt did not do this, but it is under- stocd that the President has this matter in mind. The President at last has informa- tion that Gen. Weodford acted prompily when he received the ultimatum of the United States. The Spanish government, however, held the telegram to Gen. Wood- ford for several hcurs before permitting it to be delivered to him. That gave Segasta time to decide what he would do. Wm. Astor Chanler saw the President about the regiment he has raised in New York. Mr. Chanler wants to have it mus- tered into service. Yellow Fever Immunes. Representative Adolph Meyer, for fif- teen years commander of the state troops of Louisiana, and a brave confederate offi- cer in the civil war, had a long talk with President McKinley this morning on the subject of using regiments of yellow fever immunes, exclusively mentioned in yester- day’s Star, in an early invaston of Cuba. General Meyer himself had yellow fever when a boy and has gone through many epidemics since without again having the disease. Gen. Meyer told the President that twen- ty years ago it would have been an easy matter to raise 10,000 immunes in the city of New Orleans alone. Now he did not think more than half this number of healthy volunteers could b2 secured. Gen. Meyer said he believed that regiments of immunes would be of great service in Cuba. The President is still deaply interested in the subject and kept Gen. Meyer in confer- ence a long time. Gen. Meyer put himself at the disposal of the Pr2sident and is will- irg to do duty with the immunes. Value for Service. The President did not give any idea how soon the immune regiments would be sent to Cuba if they are authorized by Congress and organized. Theplan has been to have them co-operate with the armies of Garcia and Gomez in the land attack on Havana. Now it is suggested ‘that they would be the proper troops"to hold Havana after the capture. Their immunity from yellow fever, added to their general knowledge of improved sanitary Iawsiand treatment of the disease, would be of incalculable bene- fit In a reconstruction period in-Havana. “Is a man an immune who has had the disease?” General Meyer’was asked. “Yes, I think so. «I have heard of peopie having the disease two or three times, but I never saw a case of the: kind, and do not believe they exist.”. War Department ' Defictency. Secretary Alger this morning submitted to Secretary Gage an estimate of $34,01 997 as a deficiency appropriation n2cessary to run his department until July 1. The estimate was at once prepared to be sent to Congress. The estimate is exceedingly interesting, in that it covers the expendi- tures of the War Department, including the volunteer army, for two months. This estimate will give an idea of what war will: cost. The estimate is as fellows: Signal service of the army.

A Letter to Miss Helen Gould. President McKinley today wrote a letter to Miss Helen Gou!d of New York, express- ing deep regret that he was unable to ac- cept her generous offer to donate $100,000 to the government for use in the war with Spain. The President told Miss Gould that the donation could not be accepted with- out an act of Congress. After speaking of the patriotism of Miss Gould, the Presi- dent intimated that she could put the amount in a vessel for the navy. There are ways of making a donation to the navy which will not* require special legislation. It is understood that Miss Gould offered to give $200,000 if {t would be of service. Represenfative Hitt Calls. Representative Hitt’s visit to the White House was the first in a number of weeks. He was warmly received by the President, who is delighted to see that the able head of the House foreign affairs committee Is again getting ready‘ for harness. Today's Cabinet Meeting. The eabinet held .a short session today without doing anything gf great public in- terest. Reports of the workings of the de- partments were madgg bythe different Sec- retaries. Secretary Gage talked on the question of the coming bond Issues and the way to get them before the people for pop- ular subseription. retary Alger and Sec- retary Long talked of what they will need in the way of supplies, etc. As to news, there, was,none. Up to the time Secretary Long went to the cabinet meeting he had not received a word from Rear Admiral Sampson confirming the news of the bombardment of, Matanzas. The cabinet wondered at this. Secretary Long was in doubt about the whole matter when he left the White House. No news was re- ceived from Manila, although the cabinet expects to hear of action some time tomor- row. na It was said by four or five members of the cabinet that no news of the movements of the Key West fieet had been received to- day, despite the fact. that a daily report 4s made to Secretary Long and President McKinley, ‘The positive statement-can be made that the subject of the annexation of Hawaii was not mentioned by the President or a member of the cabinet. It was generally supposed that some decision as to the seizure of the istand or as to legislation would be discussed, but no mention was made. Yesterday afternoon President Mc- Kinley had/a conference with Senators Davis and Morgan and John W. Foster, and it was believed that the conference was in regard to the islands. ‘The cabinet was given no information as to the landing of United States troops at Matanzas some time soon. If any agree- ment to this effect has been reached only the President and a few other officials know of it. There was also no talk about the ap- pointments of major generals, brigadier generals and other officials. President McKinley has reached no de- cision about appointing a successor to As- sistant Secretary Roosevelt. The President has a number of names under considera- tion. One of these js ex-Representative Carles H. Allen of Lowell, Mass. He is a personal friend of both the President and Secretary Long, and his name Is receiving consideration, which it is predicted will be favorable. Probable Major Genera’ Although the War Department is net yet prepared to announce its plans for the or- ganization of the volunte2r army of 125,- 00C men, it is understood that it will be composed of three corps, distributed as fol- lows: The first division to rendezvous at Mon- tauk, L. I., under the command, it 1s said, of Major Gen. Granville Dodge of Iowa. The second division to r2ndezvous in the vicinity of New London, Corn., under the command of Major Gen. J. H. Wilson. The third division to rendezvous at Wash- ington and Richmond, with headquarters probably at Washington, under the com- mand of either Major Gen. Fitzhugh Lee or Major Gen. Jos>ph Wheeler. Late Army Orders. Capt. Henry M. Kendall, 6th Cavalry, has been detailed to inspect horses for the artillery at Fort Myer, Va., under the direction of the quartermaster general of the army. Capt. Alexander B. Deyer, 6th Infantry, has been ordered to report to the quarter- master general's office for duty in conne: tion with the purchese of horses for light artillery in the states of Virginia, Mary- land, Delaware and Pennsylvania. Capt. James B. Erwin, 4th Cavalry, has teen ordered to report to the governor of Georgia for temporary duty with the Na tional Guard of that state. Lieut. James S. Wilson, istant sur- geon, stationed at Fort Caswell, N. C., has been ordered to duty at Chickamauga Park, Col. C. P. Eagan, assistant commissary general of subsistence at New Orleans, has been oréered to Washington city for duty in thé office of commissary general of sub- sistence. Gen. Lieber Wants Active Service. Gen. G. N. Lieber, Judge advocate gene! of the army, who was a major on the staff of General Butler during the civil war, has expressed a desire for ac- tive service in. the field, and there is an impression that he will be attached to the staff of Gen. Miles or the other general officer who will command the United States forces in Cuba. In that event he would be the extreme suprem? legal mili- tary authority on the island during the con- tinuance of hostilities. ——____-e—. CLEARING, and Tomorrow and Warmer.
