GENERAL ROE’S CPI? TIO’N
Militia to Be Ordered Out. Before 170111.;—
teers Are Asked for—Iliarried Men May
Stay at Home—Mus: Pass 1’; Rigid
Physical Test.
New York, April 19. “Ma .'-j01 General
Roe, of the National Guard of the
State of New York, says that he has
no doubt that when the time came for
the calling out of troops the National
Guard would be ordered out as an or—
ganization. This statement of the Ma-
jor-General is something more than a
guess, although he did not say that he
had authority to make the statement,
because Colonel Greene had just been
in consultation with him, and Colonel
Greene went to Washington Saturday
and was in conference with Secretary
Alger on this very subject.
The call for the militia will precede
the general call, for volunteers. It will
be in a. way a call for volunteers. for
the MajorLGeneral says that he thinks
arrangements will be. made by which
the regiments will go as regiments, but
by which men who do not feel like go—
ing with the regiment may stay at
home to firm the nucleus of a home
guard without losing rank or caste as
soldiers.
“There are many cases in the Nation—
al Guard of men who have families de-
pendent upon them for support, who
cannot leave for a campaign outside
the State unless they are absolutely
needed,” said General Roe. “These men
owe it to their families to wait till their
services in the field are absolutely
needed, and arrangements will be made,
I have no doubt, so that these men will
not have to go with their regimen-ts,
and so that they will not be considered
any the less good soldiers. They will
stillkeep up their regimental standing,
or, at least, some plan will be devised
by which they will be held ready for
home service, perhaps detailed to the
mustering in and drilling of volun-
teers.”
He placed no credence in- the reports
that the Government was not going to
recognize the State militiary organi-
zations, but, on the other hand, ex-
pressed himself as confident that the in-
dividuality of the military organiza-
tions would be preserved.
'During the civil war volunteer regi-
ments, raised in the various States, or—
ganized and elected their own officers
Vfllbefore they were mustered in by the
‘ general government. I am certain that,
in case there is any call for volunteers,
this method will be continued. The
Governors of the States will commis—
sion colonels of the regiments and the
officers below that rank. The Presi—
dent will certainly not commission of—
ficers below the rank of colonel"
As to reports that officers in the“ ..';c
tional Guard of other States had as:
clared that they would not take their
regiments out as a part of the leglllcll'
army, Major- General Roe said 111111 1.
would not be in good taste for him 12..
say anything. -He thought the: :‘rw
officers must have declared that they
would not go out unless the enrity of
their regiments was assured. ”There
are about forty-five National Guard-z,
and it wouldn’t do to have them all
down in Cuba as separate armies. There
will have to be one' general army. And
it is natural to suppose that the gen-
eral of the United States Army will
command.”
The. Major-General said that he
thought the men in the NationalGuard
would be put through a new physical
examination under the supervision of
the United States military authorities
if they were called out for duty. A
strict. examination is required by the
authorities of this State before A man
isenlisted, but the United S 3.95 Gov-
ernment would probably requizc
other. '
"The Government is going to do the
best it can to avoid starting another
big pension roll like it got after the
civil war. Everyman who is called
upon to fight, unless wine-thing un ex—
pected happens, will be a. man as near
perfect physically as men are. The
pension rolls of the lost war cont? in a
great proportion of names of men who
were disabled by disease. They were
not physically strong enough for sol—
diers.”

spsscn FROM SPANISH THRONE.
It “fill Ask for Fund! to Defend the Na-
tional Honor.
~ London, April 19.—The Madrid corre—
spondent of the Daily Mail, telegraph-I
ing at 10 o’clock laSt evening, says:
“The Cabinet Council met at 4
o‘clock this afternoon. The session
lasted three hours. Senor Sagasta, thé
Premier, submitted a draft of the
speech from the throne. Its tenor is not
precisely known, though it makes an
appeal to the highest patriotism of the
nation. It summarizes the internatldn
a1 problem, and points out that Spain
has always presented an accommodatl
ing front in everything which did not
diminish her sovereignty, though' she
only agreed to grant a. cessation'of
hostilities in Cuba when the Pope 'made
his request and the Powers joined in
counseling it.
. “The Speech from the throne appeals
to the Spanish people to rally around
the Young king, in order to save the
country and to grant to the Govern—
ment everything which may be neces-
sary and urgent to defend the national
honor and integrity.”
Queen’s Speech \Vill He for “'31:.
Madrid, April 19.—The speech from
the throne which will be laid before
the Cortes to—morrou, has been draft-
ed. The Queen, despite the restraining
influences-of her Ministry, has infused-
iire and spirit into the document. It
is short, evading none of the issues by
circumlocution. Unless further modi-
fied by the cautious Ministry, the
Queen’s Speech will incite rather than
quell the war spirit in the Cortes. This
is the Queen’s contention: She believes
the Cortes will be for war, that Spain
is for. war, and she dares not oppose
her emblems at. such a. time.
Big Tobacco Deal.
New York, April 19.—Advices from
St. Louis are to the effect that a big
tobacco deal has been consummated, by
which the Continental Tobacco Com-
pany is to be organized with a capital
stock of $50,000,000, to absorb all the
plug tobacco charters of the country.
Mr. Drummond is to be president, Mr.
Dilke of New York vice-president, and
Pierre Lorillard treasurer. Ligge'tt and
Meyers, it is said, have not yet signed,
but are to go in. Plug tobacco and
cigarette and smoking tobaccos are
hereafter to be manufactured separate—
ly. The American Tobacco Company
will keep out of the plug, and the new
Continental Company out of the smok-
ing tobacco.
Coal Minerson a Strike,
Altoona, Pa, April 19.—Eight hun—
dred miners in the Ciearfield district
are on a stilke because their employ-
ers 1n51st~ on paying them by the car
instead of 45 cents a ton, the district
price. The strike started several weeks
ago. It has spread until now four col-
lieries of the Peale, Peacock & Kerr
syndicate are involved. Despite threats
of being blacklisted, if they do not come
in, the men are obdurate. The operators
have Government rush orders for 400,-
000 tons of coal, to be delivered at Key
West, and they are badly embarrassed
by the strike. The strikers are backed
by the United Mine, Workers’ Union.
New Prison Superintendent.
Albany, April 19.—General Austin La-
throp, of Corning, yesterday retired as
Superintendent of State Prisons and
Cornelius V. Collins, the new appointee,
assumed the duties of the office. The
term is for five years and the salary is
$6,000. Mr. Collins’s first official act
was to reappoint Charles V. Baker, of
Comstock, as chief clerk and acting
deputy.
Cheyenne ‘Indl'nna Threatening.
Guthrie, Okla, April 19.—Nearly 1,000
Cheyenne Indians have gathered on the
banks of the North Canadian River,
many miles from the agency, holding a.

dians, incited by their medicine men,
will take advantage of the absence of
troops from neighboring forts to start
an uprising to secure more beef ra-
lions.
Spain After a. Loan.
London, April 19.—It is reported in
this city that the Government of Spain
has been in communication with lead—
ing financial houses here, including the

madm: mines. The Rothschilds decline
to confirm or deny the rumor.

The Final Resolution Will Not
Recognize Independence.
ANOTHER WEEK’S DELAY
The President Probably “'lll ‘Not Be-
ceive the Resolution Before Thursday
and Spain Will Not Answer at Once-—
‘ President Confident. Independence “’ill
Not Be llecognizetl.;‘
\Va'shington, April 19.—In View of the
present condition of affairs, your corre-
spondent considers it safe to make the
i‘ollmving predictions:
First—That the resolution which will
go to the President for his signature
will not contain a provision for the
recognition of the Junta Government.
Seccond—That the President will not
receive the resolution before Thursday
morning, and that he will immediately
sign it.
Third—That although it will be im—
mediately cabled to Minister \Voodford,
it will not receive- a response from the
Spanish Government before a week
. from to-day.
Fourth—T‘.at if the resolution, as it
shall be finally agreed upon, recognize
the Cuban Republic as at present or-
ganized, it will be either vetoed or
Congress will be given notice from the
President that it meets his disap-
proval and that he shall ignore, under
protection of the -_C0hstitl.1timl. that
portion of the mandate.
President McKinley does not believe
the resolution which will be finally
adopted and sent to him for his sig—
nature will recognize the present insur-
gent form of government, on the isl-
and of Cuba. He'is confident that the
conference committee, selected for the
adjustment of the differences between
the two houses, will be composed of
men of far sight and sound judicial
judgment who will see their way clear
for a right concession to the principles
involved in the House resolution, al—
though he does not expect that that
form will be finally adopted.
In his conversations \ 'ith Senators
and Representatives he has pointed
withemphasis to his arraignment of
the present form of government in
Cuba and did it in a. manner that sig—
nified his itnention to either veto or
disregard the mandates of a resolution
Swhich direCts him to recognize that'
form of government.
The President very frankly states'
that he is not now working for the ap—
plause of the galleries. He believes that'
action, based upon the Sober, serious,
moral ’and‘flnancial interests of the
country, will alone last and make or
unmake his administration.
President 'McKinley acknowledges
the cognizance of the severe criticism
of his position, by yellow journals and
political warriors, but he has no dispo—
sition whatever to yield one iota to that
sort of clamor.
He Will not discuss the prudence or
wis‘do‘m exhibited by Mr. Bryan, the'
candidacy for the
Presidency, in advising his party in
Congress to draw political lines and to
stand out against the policies of this
administration, but it is easily per-
ceived by those who talk to him now
and who have seen him frequently and .
discussed the subject with him, that he
leans backward a little stronger in the 1
direction of his old policy on account
of. the visit of Bryan.
The President realizes that to recog-
in Cuba. is to assume all the responsi-
bility of war without retaining in our
own hands any of the lines by which
we could control the island either corn—
mercially or politically in the future.
In other words, the, "President believes:
that we give away every prerogative:
that we have earned by our action
when we recognize the independence of
Cuba for the purpose of establishing
permanently the present form of gov-
ernment alleged to exist on the island.
He not only feels that we would be
financially responsible for all the obli—
gations incurred by the Junta form of
government, and that we might involve
ourselves in international obligations
and indirectly commit ourselves to a
form of protection very much in oppo-
sition to the 'policy of the administra-
tion and of the country, but that we
would establish a. colony, a. government ‘
and a class of— people who might and
probably would cause us a great deal
more. trouble than Spain has caused the
United'States up to this moment.
Unless this Government can have
something to say in the form of gov-
ernment to be established in Cuba. and
the character of the people who are to
control it, the President feels that we
should recognize no individuals and no.
form of government whatever.
The position of the administration is‘
in favor of immediate interventin, a
declaration of independence and the
establishmet of a suitable form of gov-
ernment without any internation en-
tanglements.
Officers Ofl‘er Their Services.
London, April 19.—Gen. Marcelo de
Azcarraga, the former Minister of War A
and Prime Minister, has, a. special,
dispatch from Madrid says, arrived atl
the Spanish capital in order to attend

ed as declaring that war is inevitable:
Many Swedish, Brazilian and other,

vices to Spain. The next meeting of?

SIR CHARLES DILKE’S VlEWS.
Says the' United States Is Sure to Win in
Q18 End.
London. April 19.-Sir Charles Dilke,
Radical, member of Parliament for the
Forest of Dean, Division of Gloucester—
shire, is quoted in an interview‘on the
Spanish-American crisis as expressing
the opinion that the two opposing fleets
are about evenly balanced, adding;
"Therefore. the decisive action will
be fought at sea. If the Americans
win the war will be over. If Spain
wins it will be the beginning of a. long
struggle, which must end in the crush-
ing defeat of Spain.”
Continuing, Sir Charles Dilke 1'id-i~
culcd the idea of the Spaniards shelling
cities, pointing out that it would be no
advantage to Spain for her to do so.
He expressed the opinion that both
sides should be allowed access to Brit-
' ish coaling stations, allowing twenty-
four hours to elapse between the depar-
ture of one nation’s ships and the ar~
rival of their enemy to coal. He also
said that he anticipated considerable
trouble from the chaotic state of inter-
national law, announced that his sym—
pathies were with the United States,
and explained ”that the United States
was quite right in interfering in Cuba,
adding, “Although I pity ‘the grand old
empire of Spain, which is crumbling.”
Boats to Defend New York Harbor.
New York, April 19.—Every stanch
boat in this harbor that is over one
, hundred feet long and capable of carry—
ing one or two rapid—fire guns may be
impressed into service Within the next
two or three days. The small boats that
are to be taken will be used as harbor
defense ships and as scouting boats.
One or two fairly large guns can be
mounted on them and they can annoy
greatly any ship which may attempt
2 an attack upon the city or try to come
up the harbor. These boats are ex—
pected to make from twelve to fifteen
knots an hour and to be of a compar-
atively light draught. '
This Looks Like Business.
Washington, April 19.—A force of
workmen is employed in digging a
trench between the State Department
and the White House. This trench
will hold a conduit that will contain
the telegraph lines leading from,all
the fortifications up and down the At-
lantic seaboard and the Gulf. The
system of communication between
these fortifications and the “Var and
Navy Departments has been perfected,
and it only remains to connect the
White House with these two depart-
ments to place the President indirect
communication with all fortress that
guard the country.

Old Fighters in Commission.
Philadelphia, April 19.—Two more of
the old monitors, the Montauk and Le-
high, went into commission at the
League Island Navy Yard yesterday.
Neither of the old fighter-s has a full
complement of men, but both are ex-
pected to complete their crews in a day
or two. The Lehigh and Montauk are.
expected to sail to-morrow or Thurs-
day, the former for Boston and the
latter for Portland, Me. The Catskill,
which went into commission on Sat-
urday, is expected to sail for Boston to—
day.
Buffalo Bill’s Cowboys to fight.
YVashington, April 19.—«General Miles

placed in charge of the cavalry scouts
who will accompany the United States
infantry to Cuba. , His command will
be largely made up of cowboys from
the southern tier of the Western Stains
and a few trained Ogallulla and Bruis-
Indian soouts.
