BlG FORCE FOR THE PHILIPPINES a Spain’s Dilemma if She Sends Ships to the Pacific. IMPORTANT CONFERENCES a < An important conference today between President McKinley and Secretaries Long and Alger resulted in the determination to largely increase the force of trooys to be sent to the Philippine Islands. The exact number agreed upon was not made public by General Alger, but he admitted that it would not be less than 10,000 men. It is be- lieved that the force will be nearer 15,000 men. The Secretary this afternoon said that every arrangement fs now being made to speedily push forward the reinforce- ments for Dew The President's Views. President McKinley has come to the con- clusion that Spain means to send soldiers to the Philij that this country shall be caught with a small force of men. He does not believe that a fleet of warships will be sent to Manila by Spain. Gen, Merritt Leaves Tonight. Secretary Alger said to a Star reporter on leaving the White House that General Wesley Merritt will be sent to the Philip- Pires with the force, and would be accom- panied by General Otis. General Merritt will be installed as military governor of the islands. He has been directed by the War Department to proceed at once to San Francisco, and has notified the department that he will leave tonight. It is understood t Secretary Alger will order further changes in the destination of state troops, so as to increase the force at San Francisco. It is hoped by the War Department that the full number of troops to be sent to the Philippines will be on their way within five days. An Interesting Contingency. Not one of the President's advisers be- Neves that Spain will attempt to dispatch any of her fleet to the Philippines. “If she does so," said Senator Lodge, at the White House, “I think our officials would imme- diately send a squadron to the Canary Is- lands and to Spain. The Spaniards would not regain the Philippines and would lose more territory and a vast amount of prop- erty by bombardment of her chief seaport cities. Notwithstanding the confidence of the ad- ministration that Spain is making a bluff as to sending a new squadron east, her movements will be closely watched by agents of this government, and she will pay a heavy penalty for foolhardiness. To send a fleet capable of coping with Dewey the Spaniards would have to send away at least half of their finest vessels. The oth- ers would be left at the mercy of the United States fleet. The Siege of Havana, Gen. Miles conferred with the President during the afternoon about sending troops to the Philippines and the coming in- vasien of Cuba. After talking with the War Department officiats, the President had a iong confer- ence with Secretary Long. Assistant Sec- retary Allen was present part of the time. It is confidently believed that the entire pians for the siege of Havana on the sea side were carefully gone over and that orders will be sent to Admiral Sampson at orce as to what is expected of him and his ships. Important Bills Signed. President McKinley today signed the fol- lowing bills: An act to provide for organ- izing a naval battalion in the District of Columbia; an act amending section 5 of the law regarding the carrying and selling of deadly weapons within the District of Columbia; an act to provide for a volun- teer brigade of engincers and an additional force of ten thousand enlisted men special- ly accustomed to tropical climates. This is the bill which authorizes the enlistment of yellow fever immunes. Maryland Matters Considered. Senator-elect McComas and Representa- tive Baker of Maryland had an interview y with the President regarding Mary- land matters. Representative Baker de- sires the early appointment of John B. Hanna as collector of the port of Baltimore, and the President will grant the request. It fs understood that the reappointment ef Postmaster Warfield at Baltimore will be delayed for some time, as his term docs not expire for several months. - Judge McComas, for himself and Senator Wellington, urged the President to nomi- nate us speedily as convenient the Mary- land men recommended for staff majors. These are Capt. Noble H. Creager, Col. H. €, Mallikin and Gen. H. K. Douglass. Representative McDonald of Maryland also saw the President about matters in his district. Red Cross Work in Cuba. Ex-Vice President Morton, Bishop Pot- ter and a number of prominent churchmen of New York had a talk with President McKinley this morning regarding Red Cross work in Cuba. For Army Appointments. President McKinley spent another busy day listening to pleas for the appointment of citizens in the military service. After the rvsh of congressmen was over the Fresident settled down to a conference with Secretaries Alger and Long regard- ing appointments and the hundreds of other naval and miliary details of the war. The conference lasted a long time and was probably important. Secretary Alger and Senator Hanna had a talk with the President today about giv- ing a military appointment to Lloyd Gris- com, son of C. A. Griscom, the president of the American line of steamships. It was decided to give Mr. Griscom a good place. Mr. Jenkins Urged for a Pince. Representative Babcock of Wisconsin, on behalf of the delegation from his state, urged the President to appoint Representa- tive Jenkins of Wisconsin as an adjutant general. Mr. Jenkins was a gallant sol- CASTORIA For Infants and Children. Bears the signature of ro er” You Have Oo Always Bought CASTORIA ‘Fhe Centaur Company. New York Ott. nes, and he does not propose | i ier in the famous Iron Brigade. Mr. Bab- cock told the President that as Mr. Jen- kins is a cool-headed man and an able lawyer he would be just the person to send to the Philippines in an important capacity. Representative Spalding of Minnesota is being pushed for a brigadier generalship. Representatives McCleary and Heatwole urged this appointment today. They were backed by Chairman Walker and members of the banking and currency committee, who are anxious that Gen. Spalding should receive the appointment. Senators Allison and Gear were also at the White House in search of military po- sitions for patriotic constituents. Other visitors who talked about appoint- ments were Senators Lodge, Spooner, Haw- ley, Bacon, Clay, Teller, Cullom, Wolcott, Caffery, Representatives Burton, Cox, Mitchell and Wilson of. South Carolina. —_—___-e____. NAVAL ORDERS. Assignments of Officers Ficlds of Duty. The following naval orders were issued at the department today: Lieut. W. Doty, retired, nzval station. : Lieut.

The regi- Lae ar TO ATTACK HAVANA Plans for Work for’Land and Naval Forces, GENERAL MILES TO:LEAVE TONIGHT General Merritt to Be Military Governor of the Philippines. TWO EXPEDITIONS —_+___ Plans are being perfected by the adminis- tration for a combined attack of the land and naval forces of the United States on Havana. The invading army consisting of abuot 16,000 regulars will ieave for Cuba next Monday in transports under the pro- tection cf a fleet of naval vessels, and a landing will be made as soon as possible. For the subsistence of the men, the com- missary department has arranged for the purchase and shipment to gulf ports, prin- cipally to Tampa, Fla., of about 4,000,000 rations, which it is estimated will subsist an army of 40,000 men for about thirty days on full rations. It is probable that a large portion of these supplies is intended for the immediate relief of the reconcen- trados, who are reported to be dying in large numbers from starvation. Major General Miles, commanding the army, will leave Washington this evening for Tampa, with a view to supervising the final arrangements for the departure of the Cuban expedition. The special orders on this subject have been issued, and pro- vide that the gereral and his staff shall proceed to Tampa and other designated points “for temporary duty.” The following named officers will accom- pany Gen. Miles: Capt. Francis Michler, Capt. M. P. Morse, Licut. Col. J. C. Gil- more, Maj. Gen. Joseph C. Breckinridgo | and Brigadier General Juhn I. Rodgers of the volunteer army; Col. Charles R. Green- leaf, Lieut: Col. A. L. Wagner, chief of the military information division of the War Départment; Major Henry B. Osgood, com- missary; Major Eli L. Huggins, Capt. S. Y. Seyburn, Capt. Hugh L. Scott and First Lieut. Edward Anderson, Col. Wagner will have charge of the bureau of military intelligence while the army is in the fleld. He will be assisted in his work by Lieut. Anderson, who is at present in his office, and other officers in the field will be detailed as the work of the bureau increases. General Miles will have his headquarters in the field, and a great mass of papers, charts and other data of military character have been packed in trunks ready for shipment to Tampa. Sev- eral of the clerks and messengers in the department will also accompany General Miles and his staff. To Govern the Philippines. The United States will establish a tem- porary government over the Philippine Is!- ands. Orders have been issued for Maj. Gen. Wesley Merritt, now commanding the department of the east at New York, to proceed to Manila with the least possible delay for the purpose of assuming the of- fice of military governor of the Philippines. Orders for duty ia the Philippines were sent to Maj. Gen. E. 8. Oti: commanding the department of the Colorado at Denver, who has recently been, relieved from duty as president of the court-martial which tried Capt. O. M. Carter of the Engineer Corps. The orders to Gen. Otis direct him to report to Gen. Merritt for duty under his direction in the Philippine Islands. Gen. Otis will be second in command and will act as military governor of the islands in case of the absence or disability of Gen. Merritt. Orders were also issued for the organiza- tion of an army corps of about 12,000 men for immediate duty in the Philippine Is lands. This corps will be made up of regu- lars and volunteer organizations stationed on the Pacific coast and in the far western states. General Merritt was at the War Department tod: in consultation with the retary of War, General Miles and the various bureau chiefs with regard to the organization of the expedition. Prompt ac- tion will be had in the matter with a view to having the troops start on thelr long voyage across the Pacific for the relief of Admiral Dewey with as little delay as pos- sible. General Merritt will leave here this afternoon for New York, to settle up his official and private affairs in that city pre- paratory to his departure for San Francis- co. He said that he did not know exactly when he would sail from San Francisco, but It was his purpose to do so as soon as possible. The troops for the expedition will probably depart before General Merritt reaches the Golden Gate, and the probabili- ty is that General Otis will ba in command of them at the Philippines until the arrival of General Merritt. Complete arrangements have been made for the equipment, trans- portation and subsistence of the troops, and they will be able to start for Manila shortly after their arrival at San Francisco. There Will probably be two expeditions, the second to follow the first as soon as the necessary transportation can be provided. Maj. Gen. W. M. Graham, commanding the new department of the gulf, with head- quarters at Atlanta, Ga., was at the War Department today in obedience to tele- | erapnie instruetions, and had a conference with Secretary Alger and Gen. Miles with regard to the proposed military operations against the Spanish army in Cuba. Volunteers Accepted. Reports received at’ Adjutant General Corbin’s offic? show that up to and includ- ing Tuesday 54,752 volunteers had been ac- cepted as having the requisite qualifications for soldiers and had been mustered into thé | United States servic2. The reports as they are received are carefully tabulated so as to form a ready reference for the officials and a guide for them in directing th move- ments of the troops in the field. Senator Chandler, for the governor of New Hampshire, says the regiment of vol- unteers in that state is fully equipped and ready to start. The governor of Ilinois says he will have two regiments of infantry, the 3d and the 5th, ready today. The Missouri light battery has been mus- tered in and is rported ready to move. Adjt. Gen. Corbin today sent telegraph’ instructions to the governors of New ¥: and Massachusetts to start the 7ist Re: iment of New York Volunteers and the Ist Massachusetts Regiment of Volunteers from New York city and Boston, respec tively, this evening by steamer for Tampa direct, for service with the Cuban army of invasion. The transperts will proceed di- rect to the Flcrida port without stop, and will occupy four or five days on the trip. Col. Roosevelt Starts Tonight. Lieut. Col. Roosevelt starts for the front ternight. He will be a member of General Miles’ party a greater part of the way to F.orida, but will leave it before its arrival at Tampa in order to proceed to San An- tonlo, Tex., whera he will join the regiment of mounted riflemen, of which Col. Leonard Wceod is the commander. Not Raising a Regiment. Mr. H. O. Flipper states, in reference to the article about himself in yesterday's Star, that he served five years in the army; he never lived in New York, and has not been there for twenty-one years; he ha: not “inaugurated the movement for the organization of a colored volunteer caval, regiment,f~ knows of no such movement and has neither sought nor received as- surances from the War Department or from any other source, and that any con- nection of his name with such movement is wholly unauthorized. He says he is not an “Interpreter,” although he is perfectly familiar with the Spanish language. He has never been employed by the Interior Derartment in any capacity, in any place or at any time. —-e-+______ Today’s Confirmations. The Senate in executive session confirmed all the military nominations ‘sent in Tues- day, May 10, with the exceptions of Cap- tain Frank D. Baldwin, 5th Infantry, to be inspector general with rank of lieuten- ant colonel, and Fred M. Alger of Michi- gan, to be assistant adjutant general with rank of captain. Captain Alger was not confirmed owing to a mistake in his name, having been sent in as Fred instead of Frederick. Lieuten- ant Colonel Baldwin was held up at the re- quest of a senator who asked that his rec- ord while acting Indian agent should be looked into. ne Must Show Cause or Be Disbarrrd.
