tia Call for 75,000' or 100,000 Men and
5,000 More Through Army Reorganiza-
tion Blll.
Washington, April 20. ——The “Var De—
partment has practically decided that
its first call to arms will be for 80, 000
men to be taken from the militia of
the several States.
There are some complications in the
matter which it will take a little time
to adjust and which will prevent the
issuance of a call to- day and may de-
lay it even a little longer.
Plans now being formulated in Con-
gress involve the placing of about 200, -
000 soldiers, in round numbers, at the
disposal of the Government within a
very short time after the Cuban reso-
lutions are approved by the President.
This calculation is based on the fol-
lowing figures covered in plans already
in effect or in contemplation, viz.:
Standing army, 27, 000; by call for vol-
unteers, 60, 000; by calling out State
militia, 15 000 or 100, 000; by army re-
organization bill, 5,000.
Leaving aside the present army
force, the second and fourth items are
practically Settled on in committee,
while the third, as to State militia, is
being actively canvassed, and while
there are different views, they are ex-
pected to crystallize into an authoriza-
tion to call out the number stated.
The bill drawn up by the War De-
partment for introduction by Represen-
tative Hull, chairman of the Military
Committee, authorizes the President to
call for something like 60, 000 volun-
teers, to be draWn through the various
States. While this method obv1atesthe
ilegal technicalities involved in the serv-
ices of State militia organizations per
se, it is likely the volunteers thus ob—
tained through quotas furnished by
the respective State and Territorial
- Governors will come from within State
‘mrilitia ranks.
In the- House Committee on Militia
a plan to effectually put a large num-
ber of the militia at the disposal of the
President is being formulated. ‘ Some
think 100,000 excessive, but Chairman
Marsh and others regard the figures as
conservative in the view that the reso-
lution evidently means war.
The President as now Suggested by
Representative Marsh can call out the
militia at any time, and Cnogress fol- _
low up the executive action by legisla-
tive enactment providing for their
mustering into the United States serv-
ice.
At the same time the army reorgan-
ization bill recently recommitted by the
House ‘is being carefully pruned in the
Military Affairs Committee to meet ob-
jections. It is prOposed to extend the
army organization to the three bat-
talion war formation.
WAR DEPARTMENT BILL.
Provides Two Branches, the Regular and
the Volunteer Anny.
Washington, April 20.——The War De-
partment bill, to provide for tempo-
rally increasing the military estab-
lishment in time of war, was sent yes-
terday to Chairman Hull, of the House
Military Afiairs Comnmtee, and Sen-
ator Hawley, the chairman of a similar
committee in the Senate. The measure
was prepared under the immediate su-
pervision of Assistant Secretary Meik-

which is maintained both in peace and
war according to law.
Sec. 4. That the volunteer army shall

less sooner terminated, and that all offi-
cers and men composing said ‘army

army shall, as far as practicable, be
taken from the several States and Ter-
ritories and the District of Columbia in

subject to such an examination as to
fitness and capacity as the President
may describe.
ARMY BILL TO BE PUSHED.
The President Anxious to Ilene a Call for
Volunteers Soon.
Washington, April 20.——The House
Committee on Military Affairs has ob-
tained permission to sit during ses-
sions of the House in order that the
completion of the Army~Reorganization
bill and that providing for enlisting
volunteers may be accompliShed as
speedily as possible.
The Reorganization bill, as far as
prepared, retains its original features,
except that the size of companies is re-
duced. For infantry a. company shall
consist of 106 men, exclusive of com-
missioned officers; cavalry, 100 men;
heavy artillery, 150 men, and light ar-
tillery, 122 men.
The Volunteer bill will be pushed to
an early passage, as the President
wants to issue a call as soon as pos-
'ible.
TO US E SOUTHERN SOLDIERS.
The War Department to Land 40,000
Men in" Cuba, Half Regulars and
Half Militia.
Washington, April~ 20.—Secretary * A1-
ger has had several conferences with
the officers of the army in regard to the
plan for the army invasion and occu-
pation of Cuba. The present intention
of the War Department is to land an
army of not less than 40, 000 men in
Cuba, half of which will be composed
of ‘the regular army and the other half.
of the militia of the Southern States.
The reason for this action is that
the army officers are of the opinion.
that the. Southern men will be better
able to withstand the dangers of the
climate of Cuba than the Northern
militia men. The soldiers of the North-
ern and Western States will be scat-
tered along the Southern coast and
used to garrison the ports and coast
defenses.
When Gen. Lee was before the War
Board he testified that "there was no
great danger to American troops on
the island of Cuba from the climate.
He explained that the death rate
among the Spanish army is due to the
fact that these soldiers are badly fed
and that there are no sanitary ar-
rangements perfected in their camp
life.

PENNSYLVANIA MILITIA.
Preparing Camp Ground Near Lebanon
for Mobilization.
Lebanon, Pa.., April E.~Active prep-
arations are somg on here for the mob-
ilization of LLB Pennsylvania National
Guard on the camp grounds of Mt.
Gretna, near this city, in the event of
their being (alled out. The grounds
have been designated on several occa-
sions for the annual Summer encamp-
ment of the troops and are admirably
adapted for the purpose, the State
rifle range being, located there. Work-
men have cleared the ground of its
growth of underbrush, the big water
tank has been filled and the water pipes
have all been tested.
State officials say that if the troops
are called far 9,000 Pennsylvania sol—
diers can be concentrated at Mt. Gret-
na within twenty-four hours. This ar-
rangement contemplates the fact that
a railroad journey of fifteen hours is -
necessary in order to get the troops]
from remote sections of the State to.
this place. .
It is believed here that New Jersey 1
trOops will also be brought to Mt. Gret- '
na and possibly those of Maryland and
Delaware. The railroad facilities are
admirable. Both the Pennsylvania
and the Reading Railroad companies
have, tracks running direct to the
camping grounds, and arrangements
could be made on short notice to han-
dle train loads of troops in quick
time. '
NEW SQUADRON FORMED.
Will Protect New York, Philadelphia and
b, Other Northern Ports.
Washington, April 20.—A new squad-
ron of naval vessels in the North At-
lantic has been formed by the Navy
Department to be composed of the four
Morgan liners, recently acquired by
the Government, and the San Francisco
as a flagship.
The duty of the squadron will be to
afford protection to New York, Phila-
delphia and other northern cities, and
the headquarters will be at New York.
Commodore J..A. Howell has been
detached from the Cincinnati, of the
European squadron, and will command -
the North Patrol Squadron, as it is of-
ficially designated.
Arizona Regiment of Rough Riders.
Phoenix, Ariz., April 20.——._Governor
'McCord is deeply interested in the for—
mation of Colonel Bridges’ regiment of
rough riders. He has telegraphed to:
the President as follows:
“I beg you to remember that Arizona
was the first to offer to the ‘Govern-
ment a regiment of cavalry recruiting
from the cowboys of the Southwest.
The regiment can be ready for muster
in ten days and will be an honor to the
Territory and to the nation. Please
give me authority to raise such a reg— ;
iment outside of our quota of volun-
teers to be called for.”
Price of A1my Mules Advanced.
Kansas City, Mo., April 20. —It is said
that a combination has been formed
among the mule traders of Kansas,
City and St. Louis to take advantage‘
of the necessities of mules needed at
once for the army. Prices have been 9
advanced fully 2 per cent, and an—
other advance is planned. The 200 =

Louis for $93 are said to have cost the .
dealt—1's less than $50 a head. The Gov-
ernment requires immediately 1,800
more mules, and for these a still higher
price will be exacted by the men who
have corned the available supply.

TWENTY BANKS we‘nmzeo
George B. White, of Roma, Sold to Have
Secured 3302.000.
New York, April 20.—The Grand J ury
yesterday, upon the evidence of ex-
Mayor Strong and several cleiks from
the Central National Bank, found an
indictment for grand larceny against
George B. White, a wholesale leather
He will be
brought to this city on extradition pro-
ceedings and tried.
According to the testimony given to
the Grand Jury White has been doing
business for several years on his
father’s. reputation. The firm name
was William S. White & Co., of Boston.
Their tannerieI were at Hyndham, Pa.
White has, it is alleged, in tht past
five years, through a series of swind-
lings, secured $302, 000 from twenty
banks in New York, Philadelphia and
Boston.
White first appeared in New York
_in 1893, and called upon ex-Mayor
Strong, who was the president of the
Central National Bank. He told him
that he intended to go into business in
this city and that he would like to get
a financial rate. He said that he had
valuable properties in Boston and
Pennsylvania, which were unencum-
bered, and upon which he would like
to' get-a loan of money. White then de-
posited a small sum of money in the
bank, and upon his statement of his
property in Pennsylvania, secured a
loan of $10, 000.
Then, according to the testimony, a
series of notes were put through the
bank, but the deposits that had been
made by White had all been drawn
out. According to the complaint White
kept working his noue‘system for near-
ly a year, at the close of which time
the Central National Bank found that
it had lost, through their customer,
$19,595.93. Nothing more was heard
from White for some time, it is said.
Other banks in this city, in conference,
told of dealings with a man named
White. The result was that it was
found that White had had under sim-
ilar pretensions secured some $20,000
from each of the three otherbanks.
The Philadelphia authorities had
worked in conjunction with the New
York bankers to run down White. It
is said that White, for the past four or
five years, has been in South America,
and has recently returned. He was ar-
rested a week ago in Philadelphia, and
is now under heavy bail.
M’KINLEY WELL GUARDED.
Special Officers Now See That the Presi-
dent is Not Molested.
Washington, April 20.—An extra
guard has been detailed at the White
House to assure the personal safety of
President McKinley. Two sergeants
and a lieutenant of police have been
added to the detail of policemen, also
trebled, at the Executive Mansion. A
guard of the regular army will be sub-
stituted for the police officers in case
of war.
Under the charge of Lieutenant Cross
the force at the Executive Mansion has
been completely reorganized. The po-
- licemen stationed about the grounds
are compelled to turn in a call from
watchboxes every fifteen minutes while
on duty. On a failure to report; a ser-
geant is sent out to investigate.
There are two men stationed in front
of the Executive Mansion and five in
the rear. ’ New locks have been placed
on the gates leading to the grounds.
Two detectives are constantly on duty
at the entrance and inside of the man-
sion. Four policemen are detailed in-
side, who ane on duty all ght. At
stated intervals they visit t e corri-
dors in the office portion of the build-1
ings.
Further Delay Unwarranted.
London, April 20.——The Times says,
editorially, this morning:
“Delay on the American side can
now do no good. It is better that what
the President has to do should be done
quickly. It is surprismg to hear from
our American correspondent that Pres-
ident McKinley alone, in Washington,
with the possible exception of Arch-
bishop Ireland, still believes in the pos-
sibility of peace. A peaceful solution
would doubtless still be possible if
both Governments were sincerely de-
sirous to avoid war. It is quite con-
ceivable that in the long run both will
have reason to regret the decision at
which both have arrived. We regret
the outcome on behalf of both peo-
ples.”
Squadron Expects to Sail on Saturday.
Fort Monroe, April 20.—Capt. Hig-
ginson, of the battleship Massachu-
setts, one of the most conservative o. -
cers of the flying squadron, believes
that sailing orders will come Saturday.
That Commodore Schley does not ex-
pect to be sent away at once was evi-
denced by the issuing of invitations
for a reception on the flagship to-day,
tendered by the wardroom officers in
honor of Commodore and Mrs. Schley
and Capt. and Mrs. Cook.
Alleged Proposal for Cuban Plebescite.
London, April 20.—It is reported that
the Dreibund, or Triple Alliance (com-
posed of Germany, Austria and Italy),
acting upon «the suggestion of Italy,
has proposed to the powers the forma—
tion of a plebiscite (the vote of a whole
country, namely, Cuba in this case),
to settle the Cuban question, meaning
that the population of Cuba. should be
allowed to vote for the form of gov-
ernment most popular there.
New 32 Counterfeit Notu.
Washington, April 20.—The Treasury
Secret Service Division announces :1
new $2 counterfeit Treasury note, se-
ries of 1891, portrait of McPherson. The
note is on heavy bond paper and my},

perfecting details.
mobilized and all. that remains is to in-
sure the prompt supply of all classes
of equipment.
The four points to which the army
moves are Chickamauga battlefield,
Tampa, New Orleans and Mobile. The
troops carry thirty dIyI' rationI and
much ammunition. Telegrams receiv-
ed at the War Department to-day in-
dicate that a large proportion of the
army is now on its way South.
Orders Were issued from the War De-
partment placing the light batteries or
artillery on a strictly war footing. Tel—
egrams were sent to the commanding
officers of these batteries in all parts
of the country directing them to in-
crease each battery from four to six
guns and -to increase the horses for
each gun from four to six.
The Quartermaster General’s De-
partment of the army is rushing work
on tents and tent equipage. Ordinar-
ily the manufacture of this class of
goods is confined to Philadelphia, but
recently the War Department has con-
tracted for making them at St. Louis,
New York and Chicago. A large con-
signment of tents has been allotted
to the militia of the States under the
act of Congress.
The War Department will need about
two hundred men as packers for the
mule teams now being collected by
Captain Thomas Cruse, at Jefferson
Barracks. Pack trains will be partic-
ularly useful in the mountainous parts
of Cuba. and where the roads are bad.
Chief packers will get $100 a month;
cargadores $75; first-class packers $50
and second-class $40.
In. the event of hostilities the engi-
neer office of the War Department will
promptly take steps to form a corps
of officers, especially to assist the army
in the field in such engineering pro-
jects as the operations of the campaign
call for. The battalion of engineers
at Willet’s Point, N. Y. doubtless will
be called on, as well as the W'est Point
Military Academy.
Reindeer Scheme Comes to Grief.
W'ashington, April 20.-——The War De-
partment has received a telegram from
Brigadier General Merriam, command-
ing the Department of the Columbia,
announcing that the Alaskan reindeer
expedition is a complete failure. Act-
ing on General Merriam’s recommen-
dation, the War‘ Department has issued
an order relieving Captain Brainard
from further duty with the expeditions
in Alaska and directing him to report
in person to the Commissary General
-of Subsistence at Washington.
Ship for Army Hospital.
Washington, April 20.—-—A number of
ships in New York harbor will be ex—
amined to-day by Colonel Kimball for
the purpose of selecting a boat to be
used as an army hospital ship. The
ship will carry the beds and will be
sen-t to Cuba. It will be for the use
of. the army exclusively. Army medical
officers will be stationed on board, and
a number of available volunteers will
be assigned to duty as soon as the ship
is selected and placed in commission.
Want to Fight Spain.
London, April 20.—-—There have been
many applications at the United States
Embassy and at the United States Con-
sulate here this week for enlistment in
the United States army or navy. Most
of the applicants were Englishmen, in-

ficers of the British army of lieuten-
ant’s grade. A number of engineers
also applied, and applications were re-
ceived from women who are desirous of
serving as nurses in the field.

Hook for trial. The gun weighs 31,000
pounds and is the biggest coast-de-
fense Weapon in the world.
Germany’s Attitude.
Berlin, April 20.——Germany consid-
ers mediation worse than useless. The
German Foreign Ofi‘lce declares that

bassadors to stop their attempts at
mediation.
