4 CALLS FOR THE QUOTAS OF TROOPS Number of Volunteers to Be Furnished by Each State and Territory. THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, APRIL 26, PLANS COMPLETED FOR THE INVASION OF THE ISLAND CHATTANOOGA, April 25.—It is rumored here to-night that General Brooke has been ordered to get about 4000 men in readiness for use in the contemplated seizure of two or three small Cuban ports in order to establish communication with Gomez and Garcia. NEW. YORK, April 25.—The Washington correspondent of the Herald sends the following: Having practi- cally completed, so far as cxisting conditions will admit, offensive and defensive plans of the campaign against Spain, the administration will now rely upon the army and navy to carry them to a successful conclusion. Fif- teen thousand men will be landed at a port in the immediate vicinity of Havana as soon as the proper time comes for the seizure of the city by the na In anticipation of orders from the department to seize the point selected, 1 understand, Rear Admiral Sampson is making arrangements to institute a more rigid blockade and to place within striking distance a force able to cover the landing of the two regiments of marines, which will be the first American troops to land on Cuban soil. Once the navy is in possession of the point of ‘attack, transports con- voyed by men-of-war will carry troops to Cuba and land them. These troops will hold the captured portsand will supply General Gomez and his followers with an ample quantity of arms and ammunition, and the insurgents are expected to then begin an active land campaign against General Blanco's forces. It was in line with the navy's plan of campaign that the Columbia and Minneapolis put to sea on Saturday from Hampton Roads. As the Herald stated this morning, their commission is of a roving character. They are directed to proceed to sea on the lookout for Spanish men-of-war and privateers which Spain has officially called auxiliary cruisers, and for any Spanish merchantmen which they may happen to meet. It is not expected that they will remain on the New England coast for any length of time, but will go to sea, dropping in at ports along the coast at frequent intervals so as to be ready to join the flying squadron the moment the department deems such action necessary. It was stated by an official with whom I talked today that the movements of the 1898 FIFTY NEW GENERALS TO BE CHOSEN- Veteran Leaders Will Be Commissioned by the President.

General Shafter is now on his way to Washington to confer with General Miles and secretary Alger regarding th. c=peditian which he will lead to Cubta as soon as the fleet under Rear Admiral Sampson shall have opened the way for an effective land- ing. General Shafter will arrive in Washington to-morrow or the next day and after this important conference will waste no time in returning to the gulf, where he will hold his command in readiness to obey the order, when it shall come, to land an invading army in Cuba. The plan of the War Department which will be disclosed to General Shafter Is to land an effective force of 15,000 regular troops at a port-without the trocha and distribute arms and supplies to the insurgents under General Gomez. Several commissaries and their employes will accompany this force and will relieve in every way possible the starving reconcentrados. Troops will land at a point in the vicinity of Havana and the expedition is expected to be under way early ized.

DECIDES AGAINST THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC Judge Ross Renders an Opinion in a next week. The 15,000 men to compose this command will be taken from the infantry regiments in Tampa, New Orleans and Mobile, and the regiment of light artillery commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Lancaster, now with General Brooke's command in Chickamauga. These regiments will be organized into three brigades under com- mand of Brigadier General Wade and the two senior colonels of the army with the forces on the gulf, Colonels Mel- ville A.

SALINAS, April 2%.—Newton Peterson, a boy of 16, working on a ranch near Alisal, went out last night to drive cattle home.. He angered a large bull, which made a desperate attack upon him, hook- ing him behind the left ear, the horn tearing off the scalp for six ‘inches and renflmxlng the brain. Peterson was also badly injured on the body. There is not a place as large as a man’s hand where the bull had not struck him. Peterson was not found until three hours subse- quent to the attack. He was then, and still is,. unconscious, and bleeding 'from the mouth and nose. His condition is very dangerous. s o Mixed Politics In Sdlinas.

MADRID TOOK THE INITIATIVE Was the First to Break Off Diplomatic Ne- gotiations. Special Dispatch to The Call. Call- Office, Riggs House, ‘Washington, April 25. The President’s message recommend- ing a declaration of war was accompa- nied by ten or fifteen telegrams and notes that passed between the govern- ments of Spain and the United States, mainly through Minister Woodford, but partly through Minister Polo de Ber- nabe. It is believed these papers clear- ly established the position of this Gov- ernment that Spain has recognized the existence of a state of war. In the correspondence accompanying the Pres- ident's message was the following tele- gram, sent on April 21, 1898, by Min- ister Woodford to Secretary Sherman: Following is the text of my reply to the officlal note received this morning at 7:30 o'clock from the Spanish Minister of State: “I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt this morning of your note of this date informing me that the Spanish Min- ister at Washington has been ordered to withdraw with all his legation without loss of time from North American terri- tory. You also inform me that by this act diplomatic relations between the two countries are broken off; that all official communication between their respective representatives cease. 1 have, accord- ingly, this day tele%raphed the American Consul-General at Barcelona to instruct all the Consuls of the United States in Spain to turn their respective consulates over to the British Consuls and to leave Spain at once. I have myself turned this legation over to her Britannic Majesty's Ambassador at Madrid. The embuse{ will, from this time, have the care of all American interests in Spain. I now re- quest passports and a safe conduct to the French frontier for myself and the ersonnel of this legation. intend leav- an this afternoon at 4 o'clock for Paris. “WOODFORD."” A cablegram from Mr. Woodford to Mr. Sherman gives the substance of the Spanish note, as follows: UNITED STATES LEGATION, MA- DRID, April 21.—Following is the text of the official note received at 7:30 o’'clock from the Sranlsh Minister of State: “In compliance with a painful duty. I have the honor to inform your excellency that the President having approved a resolution of both chambers of the United States, which, in denying the legitimate sovereignty of Spain and threatening an immediate armed intervention in Cuba, is equivalent to an evident declaration of war, the Government of his Majesty has ordered its Minister in Washington to withdraw without loss of time from the North American territory with all the personnel of the legation. By this act the diplomatic relations which previously existed between the two countries are broken off, all official communication be- tween their respective representatives ceasing, and 1 hasten to communicate this to your excellency in order thit on your part you may make such disposition as seems suitable. 1 beg your excellency to kindly acknowledge receipt of this note and I ask it myself, etc.” WOODFORD. Other correspondence is as follows: On April 14 Secretary Sherman noti- fled Mr. Woodford of the passage in the House the previous day of the Cuban resolutions and of the reporting to the Senate of the resolutions from the For- eign Relations Committee. On that day Secretary Sherman wired: Ultimate resolution in conference can not now be forecasted, but will doubtless direct intervention by force if need be, to secure free Cuba. The situation is most critical. On April 20 Secretary Sherman tele- graphed Mr. Woodford the ultimatum heretofore published. On the same date Secretary Sherman sent the fol- lowing to the Spanish Minister: & WASHINGTON, D. C., April 20. Sir: T have the honor to communicate to you a copy of an instruction sent this day to the United States Minister at Ma- drid, by telegraph, in obedience to a joint resolution of the Congress of the United States of America, in_relation to the pa- cification of the isiand of Cuba, approved this date, of which a copy is hereto an- nexed. I avail myself of this opportuni- ty to repeat to you the assurances of my highest consideration. JOHN SHERMAN. On April 20 Secretary Sherman wired Minister Woodford the following: Senor Polo de Bernabe, Spanish Minis- ter to the United States, upon being in- formed shortly before noon to-day of the action of this Government, taken in pur- suance of the resolution of Congress on April 19, 1898, has asked for, his passparts for himself, 'his family and suite. They have been handed him with assurances of safety while within the territory of the United States. Unless previously handed your passports. you will be expected to remain near the court of Spain until Sat- urday noon of this week, and unless by that ‘date and hour some communication is received from the Government of Spain which you deem will be satisfactory to this Government, you are to ask for your passports and safe conduct. SHERMAN. At 9 o'clock on the following day Mr. Woodford sent his reply to Secretary Sherman, already published, announc- ing the action of the Spanish Govern- ment before he had communicated the ultimatum. ‘With the correspondence are the two proclamations of President McKinley, one for the blockade of Cuban ports ;md the other calling for 125,000 volun- eers. ROBBERS ATTACK CHINESE. They Tie Them to a Fence With Their Queues. Two Chinese, one of them giving the | name of Kow Tow. reported to the police last evening that they had been held up by a gang of rough looking characters while driving along Mission road early in the evening. After they had received a_ severe beating at the hands of the highwaymen they were robbed and af- terward tied to a neighboring fence by their queues. They were found in this condition by a gardener in the neighbor- hood, who advised them to report the matter to the police. Detectives have been detalled on the case. COAL FAMINE IS PREDICTED San Francisco May Find . Itself Short on Fuel. SEATTLE, April 25.—Coal and wheat are closely linked in the present war emergency, and the effect will send prices skyward. As California has shipped her wheat to England she is looking to the several millions of bush- els stored in the elevators in Washing- ton State to supply her trade. There is also a heavy demand here for ex- port to the Orient and an equally strong desire on the part of millers for our wheat. All this has a tendency to run up the prices. A rise in price of coal is more than a possibility, and should coal be de- clared a contraband of war, subject to seizure in neutral bottoms, the situa- tion could not fail to be an interesting one. San Francisco has purchased its coal in England, Scotland, Wales and Australia and its American coal has been sent largely from Puget Sound, with a modicum from Coos Bay. The threatened strike among the Australian coal miners complicates the situation. There can hardly fail to be a coal fam- ine in San Francisco. C. J. Smith, general manager of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, has received reliable advices from San Francisco that there would be a short- age. There is a scarcity of coal in Chinese and Japanese waters and this condition has raised freight rates in some cases 25 shillings. This will have the effect of diverting Australian car- goes to China and Japan instead of bringing them to San Francisco, and in this the association of coal and wheat is_again brought out. English bottoms with general cargoes have sailed for the far east. From China and Japan they have gone light or in ballast to Australia. At Australia they have taken coal cargoes for San Francisco and after discharging at the last named port they have chartered for the United Kingdom in wheat. The diversion of coal carrying from Australia to San Francisco to the bet- ter paying voyages of Australia to China and Japan will create a scarcity of Australian coal in California and a consequent increase in the demand for other coal to supply the deficiency. Mr. Smith said that the present out- put of coal from the Newcastle and Franklin mjnes of the Pacific Coast Company was about 30.000 tons a month. Speculators had approached him, asking for options on coal, which | he had refused. mines_had been placed in the Missis- | sippi River and that no vessel would | St. Phillip between the hours of sun-| During these hours | vessels must not approach within three | This announcement | is equivalent to the closing of all water | communication with New Orleans, and | be formed into two regiments of cow- the city is now under military defenss. | boy cavalry.

The com- | mand of the other regiment of “rang- ers,” as they are to be called, is to be | tendered to Colonel Torrey of Wyom- ing, at one time a captain in the reg- ular army. Captain Charles King, formerly an officer in the army, and better known as a novelist, was in consultation with Generals Miles and Corbin at the War Department this afternoon. It is un- derstood that Captain King will be the brigadier-general of Wisconsin's quota of three regiments. Colonel Rred Grant has been frequently at the War De- | partment in the last week. He will| receive the first appointment as brig- | adier-general of the New York volun- | teers. William F. Cody, “Buffalo Bill,” will serve on the staff of Major-General Miles as chief of scouts and will have the rank of colonel of volunteers. Illinois and Texas have each been al- | lotted a full regiment of cavalry. The Texas volunteers will be used to oc- cupy the posts left vacant by the reg- | ulars and will form the guard for the Rio Grande border. - John A. Logan will by a recommendation of Governor Tanner command the regiment to be raised in Illinois. Colonel Garrason, a West Point grad- uate and president of the First Na- tional Bank of Cleveland, will be the | senjor brigadier-general from Ohio. | Mr. Wedd Hayes, son of former Pres- | ident Hayes, who has been connected with the Ohio National Guard and who | represented that organization in Wash- | ington during the last two weeks, will | be one of the ranking line officers of | Ohio’s quota.

General Joseph F. Wheeler will be the first officer of the United States Representatives to hold a high com- mand in the provisional service. He will command a division to be rafsed | in the Southern States, with the rank of major-general. . Colonel Adams of Lafayette Post of the Grand Army is strongly recom- mended to_the President by Colonel J. Pierpont Morgan and other influen- tial business men in New York City and will be appointed as brigadier-general of one of the brigades of New York's quota. DOUBT THAT THE KEY WEST CABLE WAS CUT. Washington Officials Have Heard Nothing Regarding the Man- grove’s Action. WASHINGTON, April 25.—Nothing is known at the Navy Department of the reported cutting of the cable con- necting Cuba with Key West by the| Mangrove ten miles out at sea. There is a great deal of doubt as to the ac- curacy of the report, and it is believed that the most that has been done in that direction has been the tapping of the cable for strategic purposes. The United States is a party to the convention which binds all the signa- torfes, most of the marine powers of the world, to refrain from interference with cables in the event of war. Perry Belmont, while chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, labor- ed to this end for several vears, and finally succeeded in having the United States sign the agreement. A naval officer of high rank, when able enthusiasm a young man, having been ret active service because of physical in- Juries received about eighteen months ago, and he feels that he could eff tively command a division of the Na- val Reserves. He has offered himself in that capacity to the Monterey di- vision of Naval Reserves, and will take command as soon as his offer is formally accepted by the battalion. SACRAMENTO Consider- receipt of the Pr age here. All the whistles in town were blown and bells were rung. In the evening a national salute of 100 guns was fired in “apitol Park, and the water works whistle was blown for a half hour.
