2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, APRIL 19, 1898. SQUADRON PROTECT THE COAST CITIES Commodore Howell Will Command Cruisers to Be Used as a Patrol. April 18.—A Washi ird squadron formed to-ds dron h m v its dore Howell mg the c« ussion d that nd will be th i probably t to residents of Ne he headc e to send th th h Atlantic s ron, stationed for on of t to employ the 2 purposes. 18 s force. d will man the D e T e S S S S S o S R b e e e R R R fully convinced that Spain wiu‘ bluntly and indignantly spurn the | proposition, if she does not go fur- ther at once and formally declare | war. The Spanish Cortes is to meet on Wednesday. By that time Spain will have the ultimatum of this coun- try. It is confidently expected that the Cortes will at once respond with an appropriation for carrying on the war. This will bring the United States face to face with the alterna- | tive in the resolution requiring the President to use the entire land and naval forces and to call the militia | into service for the purpose of driv- ing Spain from the island. It is true thai the President is not bound to any specific time within which to comply with this provision of the resolution, but the act clearly implies that Spanish sovereignty over the island must end at once. Unless, therefore, the unexpected happens, the President’s plans for forcible intervention ought to be put into practical effect within a week or ten days, if not earlier. I was assured by a member of the admin-=| istration to-night that the naval forces would be on the move in less | than a week. | It remains to be seen, however,j whether any further action will be | taken than the blockade of the ports of Cuba and Porto Rico within that | time. 5 | Although the authorities had had | every reason to believe Congress would authorize forcible interven- tion, it is nevertheless true that they have not fully determined upon all the details of the campaign or as to | the time when military and naval | operations will actually commence. | There is a difference of opinionamong | military and naval authorities about | the time for landing the army of oc- cupation on the island of Cuba. The original plan of the President when he first recommended forcible inter- | wvention contemplated the dispatch- | ing of several vessels laden with re- | lief supplies for the suffering Cubans, | under convoy of an American fleet. | This is still, ‘n part, the programme, | but the question of landing a large | body of troops to succeggfully cope | with the Spanish forces on the island | is now involved. This point has not as yet been settled. In the first place, the army is not prepared for the immediate occupation of Cuba. Bome of the military leaders insist that we should not send less than 100,000 men to Cuba, and that as it will take at least six weeks, if not | two months, within which to thor- oughly organize and equip an army for service in Cuba, it will be better to postpone active military operations in the island until October. The | damage to an army from yellow fev- | er, if landed in the island in the! midst of the rainy season, is a mat- ter causing serious concern to the au- thorities. They realize, however, that Congress, by its action to-day, has forced the President to act at once, and as war is no respecter of | time and conditions, we may be com- pelled to iand our men in Cuba in the midst of the rainy season, no matter what the consequences may be. General Lee wants the President to act at once. He talks as though it would be merely child’s play to land an army of twenty or thirty thousand men in Cuba after our ships have silenced the fortifications in Havana with our great guns, and this force will be able to complete- ly rout the Spanish soldiers from the Island and return to this country be- fare vellow fever sets in. the Atlantic coastof the United Statesareto be protected s been officially designated er-in-chief will he Commodore J.

Seemingly the Work of Some| Enemy of the United States Government. KEY WEST, Fla., April 18.—It was learned to-day that the cable between Key West and Punta Rassa had been cut about two miles this side of Saibel Island, about 117 miles from Ke: West. The matter was kept secre{ and the break has been repaired. The incident looked suspiclous, as the bro- | ken end of the cable showed that it had | been cut clean through, though the | rupture might have been accidental, as the water is shallow where the break | occurred and the anchor of some ves- | sel may have become entangled in the | cable. | Captain Sampson learned of it to-day | and wired the Navy Department at | Washington. It has been decided to establish a careful guard in those waters and any suspicious craft will be summarily dealt with. The revente cutter McLean has already been sent The matter is of the utmost importance as the cables be- tween here and Punta Rassa are the | only communication with the mainland and if it were interfered with at this time the consequences could not be foretold. BUTCHER WEYLER MAY COMMAND IN CUBA. Madrid Newspapers Outspoken in the Belief That He Will Be Appointed. LONDON, April 18.—The Madrid cor- respondent of the ‘Daily Telegraph says: Several Influential and out- spoken journals believe that in the event of war Lieutenant-General Wey- ler will be placed in chief command of Cuba. T learn a member of the Cortes intends to make a proposal in that sense, but it is questionable whether it has any hope of success. It is possible that an attempt will be made when the Cortes meets to replace the present Cabinet by a more ener- getic administration in order that the conduct of the war may be in stronger hands. —_— FANATICAL SPANIARD ARRESTED AT SEATTLE. SBATTLE, April 18.—Fernando Isle, a fanatical young Spaniard, who has has been hovering around the new Gov- ernment torpedo-boat Rowan, was ar- rested to-day and will be given a hear- ing as to his sanity. It was feared that he intended deing damage to the new war vessel. Isle is a stranger in the city and re- fuses to say whence he came. He de- clares that he has been employed by the Spanish Government to assist in the destruction of the entire navy of the United States. It is thought at the shipyards that the man Is insane. INFANTRY AND 'ARTILLERY READY All Arrangements Made for the Trans-|Cruisers Panther and Badger to portation of the Regulars to New Orleans and Chickamauga. The forward movement of the troops from the Presidio will begin to-day. Orders issued yesterday by General Shafter direct that the train carrying the light batteries of the Third Artil- lery shall leave the Ookland mole at § p. m. to-day. The artillerymen are un- | der orders to commence loading their baggage at 7 o’clock this morning. The field guns, caissons and battery equip- ment generally will be placed aboard the cars at Kings-street platform. ‘When the work of loading is completed the men will form and march to the ferry landing at the foot of Majket street. The infantry column, under command of Colonel Evan Miles, First Infantry, will leave the Presidio for New Or- leans to-morrow afternoon. The exact time of departure may be announced to the public to-morrow morning. The route of march will be along Lombard street from the rese: tion to Van Ness avenue, along Van Ness to Golden Gate avenue and along the latter ave- nue to Market str and down Market to the ferry. The same line of march is prescribed for the artillery leaving to-day. The light artillery battalion leaving San Francisco to-day for Chickamauga Park, near Chattancoga, will be com- manded by Captain Ramsay D. Potts, Light Battery F. He will be accom- pani~d by First Lieutenant John P. Hains and Second Lieutenant E. P. O'Hern. Light Battery C will be com- manded by Captain Joseph M. Califf. He will be accompanied by First Lieutenant Archibal: Campbell and Second Lieutenant R. F. Gardner. At least once in every twenty-four hours the command will jause to en- able the artillerymen to water and groom their hc The trip to Chat- time. Light Battery C is the oid organiza- tion of Mexican war fame. It was com- manded by Captain prazg. When the battle of Bue Vista was hottest Gen- eral Zachary Taylor rode over to the guns and gave the order which history quotes as A little more grape, Captain Bragg.” What the general really did say was “Give ‘em h—ll, Captain Bragg.” terday Lieutenant Colonel Wal- Rando'ph, Third Artillery, re- ed telegraphic advices from the retary of War that an order assign- ing him to a command at Chickamauga had been issued several days ago. It 4s now known that a very important command has been given to Colonel Randolpl. It is the judgment of army officers who keep well posted that Colonel Rondolph will have command of all the light batteries of the First, Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth Ar- tillery Regiments. Before he was pro- moted to the grade of lieutenant colonel he was in command of the light artil- lery battalion at Fort Riley, Kan. | Colonel Randolph is an officer of re- nown. He has a brilliant record for heroism on the field of battle and is recognized as one of the ablest and most progressive artillery officers in the service. The following officers and civilian employes will leave Thursday night on the Sunset Limited for New Orleans: | Brigadier-General William R. Shafter, S. A.; Colonel Charles P. Eagan, as- tant commissary general of subsist- ce; Lieutenant-Colonel John R. Bab- ant adjutant-general: Major vhen W. Groesbeck, judge advocate; st Lieutenant Frank Greene, Signal Corps; First Lieutenant Robert H. No- ble, First Infantry, aid; First Lieuten- ant John D. Miley, Fifth Artillery, aid; Augustus Vibart, clerk, adjutant-gene- ral's department; Bronson L. McClel- land, clerk, adjutant-general’'s depart- ment, William Armstrong, clerk, adju- tant-general’s department; John E. Waters, clerk, subsistence department; George Boll, messenger, adjutant-gene- ral’s department; William C. Tremaine, messenger, adjutant-general's depart- ment. The quartermaster of the department, accompanied by his chief clerk, leave this morning in advance of the troops to arrange camp grounds for the eight regiments of infantry that are to ren- dezvous there, in compliance with the following order: “Pursuant of instructions from the War Department, Colonel James M. Moore, assistant quartermaster-general, and Joseph J. Bliss, chief clerk, quar- termaster’s department, will proceed, without delay. to New Orleans, Louis- iana, for temporary duty. “First-Class Sergeant Charles O. Hastings and Sergeant Harry W. Cap- ron, Signal Corps, will proceed to New Orleans, Louisiana, and there renort to First Lieutenant Frank Greene, Signal Corps. “The flying telegraph train and equipment pertaining to this depart- ment will accompany the troops to New Orleans, Louisiana, and the sig- nal officer of the department will see that the necessary arrangements are made for turning it over to the quar- termaster's department for shipment | with the First infantr=.”" Major Edward Field, artillery in- spector of the department of California, will act as assistant adjutant-general during the absence or Lieutenant- Colonel John B. Babcock,-who goes with General Shafter as adjutant-gene- ral in the field. General Merriam, who is to tempo- rarily command the department of Cal- ifornia during the absence of General Shafter, will arrive this morning to as- sume command. He will probably re- main in San Francisco till the Cuban trouble settled. Lieutenant-Colonel Henry W. Law- ton, Inspector-General's Department, United States Army, has been assigned to duty as inspector-general of the de- partment of California. It is rumored at headquarters that Colonel George H. Burton, Inspector-General for the Pa- cific district, has been assigned to duty in Chicago. The Southern Pacific Company has secured the contract for transporting the troops from this city to New Or- leans and Chickamauga Park. Bids were opened by the department quar- termaster, Colonel Moore, yesterday at noon, and it was found that the bid of the Southern Pacific Company was at least $5 lower than that of any of the others on the rate for the men, while its bid for the freight was near- ly up to the regular tariff. The Southern Pacific, Union Pacific, Rio Grande and Western and the Mis. souri Pacific were the only bidders. As near as could be figured out the bid of the Southern Pacific was $40 a man and $280 a car for freight; the figures from the other roads were about $45 a man and regular rates for freight. In addition to its rates the Southern Pa- cific promised a schedule of ninety-one hours to New Orleans and fifteen hours from there to Chickamauga. C. J. Wilder represented the Southern Pa- cific at the opening of the bids, D. W. Hitcheo nd E. M. Shoemaker the Union Pacific, W. H. Snedaker the Rio Grande and Western and L. DM. Fletcher the Missouri Pacific. The call for bids asked for trans- porting for 21 officers and 478 men for New Orleans, and § officers and 150 men for Chickamauga. Those for New Orleans are the infantry companies and the 150 for Chickamauga include two batteries of light artillery. The troops will be transported on two trains, each run in two sections. In the first train will be twenty-two cars carrying the light batteries, and in the second will be forty-eight cars carrying the First Infantry. The men | for Chickamauga will start first, and the infantry will follow to-morrow. The trains will be rushed through as fast as possible. There was no unusual commotion at the Presidio last night., The men are ready to march and eager for the con- flict. An infamtryman said last even- ing: “If it were left to the vote of the First Infantry whether we should have war or not every man would vote for There has not been a single tion since the order came for the regiment to go to the front. One man who went away a few days ago had to get out because he owed more money than he could pay. Two that left some time before went to the Klondike. The men are weary of the monotony of life in the barracks. They all want the excitement and activity of a campaign and will take the danger along with the excitement. If the war scare should blow over now several of the men would jump out for the Klondike at the first opportunity. Now that there is a chance of a lively campaign every man wants to get to the front and see what is going on.” The instruments of the First Infan- try Band are not packed away for shipment, but will be carried to New Orleans by the bandsmen. The band will play tunes while marching through San Francisco and one of the tunes may be ‘Dixie,” as the leader has had a speclal request to play that tune which is so dear to the Southern heart. Several policies of life insurance hav: been issued to army officers who have been ordered to the front. Yesterday a prominent officer tock out a policy for $10,000. He saild that no extra premium was charged on account of the war risk and that there was no condition in the policy against his de- parture from the United States. Lieutenant-Colonel Randolph, who has been ordered to Chattanooga, will g0 with General Shafter. The following circular was yesterda; SAN FRANCISCO, April 18, 1898. To Principals—Ladies and Gentlemen: The occasion of the passing through the city, en route to New Orleans, of the United States troops, commanded by General William . Sharter, has been deemed a fitting one to impart a lesson issued B L of patriotism and love of country to the children of our public schools, the men and women of the future, now under our care. Further orders will be forwarded you if time.permits, if otherwise, publicity will be given through the daily press re- garding time of departure and line of march. In the absence of further orders, upon notice as above, you will assemble your pupils along the route to be fol- lowed, displaying as far as possible all flags belonging to your school and to the Separate classes thereof. It might be well to request children hav- ing at home small flags which can be carried in the hand to bring such flag to school upon the first opportunity, s as to be ready to march whenever the occasion may demand. (This must not be so construed as to require the pu any flags or bunting by the Particular efforts must be made to in- sure the safety and comfort of ail pupils under your charge. Very respectfully, CHARLES L. BARRINGTON, President of Board of Education. Although there is really nothing for the National Guard to do but wait, still the time of waiting is not being spent in idleness. There are prepara- tions going on all the time under the surface that the rank and file know nothing about. Ammunition is being brought to the city almost by the car- load and is being distributed among the various commands and stored in out- of-the-way places ready to be brought forth the minute it is wanted. There are now in the city several hundred thousand rounds, enough to last a long campaign. A conference was held yesterday be- tween Cclonel Shafter, U. S. A., and General Mckinson and General Bar- rett, N. G. C., and it is understood that the principal subject of discussion was the organization of light batteries from the troops of the National Guard and the furnishing of such troops with modern high-power guns by the Gov- ernment. There is at present no light artillery in the guard, and it is thought to be a wise thing to supply the de- ficiency as soon as possible. Major J. Wallace F. Diss, inspector of the First Brigade of the National Guard of California, arrived in the city yesterday. When he goes to Salinas and inspects Captain Burke's troon of cavalry his tour of duty as inspector will be finished. He finds the First Brigade in fine condition. Carlton W. Seeley, clerk in the money order division of the Postoffice, and Edward E. Harrison, mailing clerk, have asked Postmaster Montague. for a leave of absence until the close of the expected war with Spain. Mr. Seeley is a member of the First Regiment of Infantry. N. G. C. Mr. Harrison served in the artillery arm of the service in the regular army, and because of his good record was allowed to resign he fore the expiration of his term of se vice to accept a position in the Post- office. He is a well-drilled artillery- man and is the kind of man most wanted by the Government in this emergency. MADRID LOOKS TO WKINLEY FOR DELAY. Believes He Will Not at Once Sign the Resolution Adopted by Congress. MADRID, April 18.—EI Correo (Min- isterial) says: It is reported from Washington that in the event of the Senate’s resolu- tion prevailing President McKinley will avail himself of his privilege of ten days ere giving the resolution his ap- proval, provided he does not employ the actual veto. Amid much excitement the vote of war with Spain prev in ‘Washington, but further delays will probably occur, owing to parliamentary routine or President McKinley's vacil- lation. El Epoca (Conservative), discussing the question of privateering, says: Spain cannot be lawfully prevented by Europe from employing the right, hav- ing reserved her liberty of action at the time of the declaration of Paris. Spiide et ROUGH RIDERS FROM THE ARIZONA RANGES. PHOENIX, April 18.—Governor Mec- Cord is deeply interested in the forma- tion of Colonel Brodie's regiment of Agxizona rough riders. To-day he tele- graphed the President as follows: “I beg to remember that Arizona was the first to offer to the Government a regiment of cavalry recruited from the cowboys of the Southwest. The regi- ment can be ready for muster in ten days and will be an honor to the Terri- tory and to the nation. Please give me authority to raise such a regiment outside of our quota of volunteers to be called for.” Commanders of Light Batteries C and F, Third Artillery, U. S.

Governor Budd Promises to See That the Seaside City Is Well Guarded. SANTA CRUZ, April 18.—While in San Francisco Colonel W. H. Lamb, Mayor-elect, had a consultation with Governor Budd and General Dickinson in reference to the protection of Santa Cruz in case of war. Colonel Lamb pointed out that the powder works would be a noint of a.tack by the enemy. Troops could be landed here and march into San Jose and San Francisco, making the protection of San Francisco bay useless. Governor Budd said he would immediately attend to having a cruiser, torpedo-boat and battery stationed here, as he recognized the importance of this point during the war. Lieutenant Carl E.
