ARMY TOLNEADECUBA
Plans iPerfectedItO Raise a Force
(£118,009 lien.
MOVEMENTS OF THE TROOPS
Plan of Invasion of the Island Almost
Identical “71th That of General Grant
During-Ten Years' \Var—«The Hull Bill
for the Reorganlzzuion of the Army to
Be Taken Up in the House—Bill to Be
Introduced Authorizing the President
to Call for 60,000 Volunteers.
Washington, April 18.—The army ad-
ministration has practically completed
the most comprehensive plans for rais-
ing an army of 118,000 men for the im-
mediate occupation of the island of
Cuba, and to defend the coasts of the
United States. These plans are the re-
sult of a series of conferences held on
Saturday between the President, Sec—
retary Alger, members of the House
Committee on Military Affairs, Major-
General Miles, commanding the Army,
Adjutant-General Corbin, and Lieuten-
ant-Colonel W’agner, Assistant Adj-u-
tant-General, and Chief of the Bureau
of Military Information.
The purposes of the conferences were
to reach an agreement on the bill in-
troduced in the House regarding the
standing of the National Guard organ-
ization in time of war.
It was recognized that the expressed
willingness of National _Guard regi-
ments all over the country to enlist in
the coming conflict was due in part to
the belief that they will be allowed to
preserve the integrity of their organ-
izations while in the service. It was
agreed to organize the regular army
on a war footing, according to the pro-
visions of the Hull bill, providing for
a total force of about 58,000 men.
The only serious difference of opin-
ion which developed in the conference
was caused by the proposition of
Major-General Snowden, of the Penn-
sylvania National Guard. He main-
tained that in case the State troops are
called into the service they should be
employed under authority entirely dis-
tinct from that exercised over the reg-
ulars. He said that he would like to
enter the expected campaign in Cuba
at the head of the Pennsylvania. Guard,
but that he wished to use his troops as
he saw fit, without restraint or direc-
tion of any kind from the Major-Gen-
eral'commandlng the army or any offi-
cers connected with the regular troops.
His proposition was rejected uncondi.
tionally.
Secretary Alger and General Miles
insisted that the militia, if used at all,
should be used as a. part of one com—
posite force, under the control of the
War Department and the Major-Gen-
eral commanding the army. The views
expressed by General Snowden found
no support among the other National
Guard commanders present at the con-
ference, and it was generally criticised
afterward.
It is expected that the Hull bill will
be taken up in the House to-day or to~.
morrow. It is the intention of the War
Department to have presented at the
same time a bill authorizing the Presi-
dent to call for 60,000 volunteer troops,
to be composed of members of the Na-
tional Guard from the several States.
A bill of this kind is being drafted in
the department.
The unusual activity in the several
bureaus of the “War Department was
continued to-day. The preparations for
the movement of troops to the Depart-
ment of the Gulf have been completed
so far as the offices of the Command-
ing General and of the Adjutant Gen-
eral are concerned. The Quartermas-
ter General’s department, however, has
a vast amount of work to do in connec-
' tion with the mobilization of the army
on the Gulf coast.
The Navy Administration has worked
out a complete plan of campaign in the
island of Cuba. No details are lack~
ing in the scheme for the occupation
of such ports and bases of supplies as
it may be necessary to seize in the
= course of hostilities, not only in Cuba,
but in the outlying islands of the West
Indies. I11 general the plan is identical
with that'dev‘ised by President Grant
at the time of the ten years’ war in
Cuba, when it seemed probable that the
United States would become involved
in war with Spain. ‘ .
COLORED TROOPS INSULTED.
White Residents Say Infantry’s Presence
Is Obnoxious.
Key VV'est, Fla., April 18,—Two com-
panies of the Twenty-fifth Infantry
sent here to guard Key West came
ashore yesterday from the Miami
steamer, feeling almost that they were
in a. hostile country. These troops are
colored, and about the best in the Unit-
ed States. The only persons to welcome
them when they stacked rifles on the
wharf and began to carry their te ts.
ashore were the colored citizens of he
town.
The Cubans did not turn out, be—
cause they are afraid of being drafted.
The Southern whites did not turn out
because their dignity is offended at col-
ored troops being sent here.
The Key West Herald, edited by, the
local “Colonel Starbottle,” had at-
tacked the black soldiers and called on
God to send yellow fever and small
pox to kill them off. In addition to ‘this
the whole artillery garrison had made
no arrangements to quarter them.
The two companies have gone into
camp, and the Key West Herald has
taken to the woods.
$600,000 Fire in Boston.
Boston, April 18.——The roof of the big
grain elevator at Hoosac Tunnel piers,
Charlestown, was blown completely off
by a. dust explosion yesterday morning
and the fire that followed it not only
destroyed the remaining part of the im-
mense structure, but it consumed near—
ly the entire contents, more than 400,-
)00 bushels of grain, mostly wheat. Sev-
eral small tenants adjoining and a
building used as a distillery by Chapin
& Trull were damaged more or less by
the debris from the roof. The loss is
estimated by the fire underwriters at
nearly $600,000, making a fire loss that
has not been equalled in this city since
1893.

3103.5 Committee -* Ready to Subunit
Measure to the House as Soon as IVar
Resolutions Are Signed by the Presi-
dent Present Generation to Bcar the
Burdens of “'ar, if It Comes.
‘Washington, April 18.—The Republi-
can members of the Ways and Means
Committee of the House have practi-
cally concluded the preparation of the
revenue measure, which will be passed
to raise revenue sufiisient to prosecute
the war. The members propose that the
present generation shall bear the bur-
dens of the war, and proceeding upon
that thcory they have prepariz‘i a bill
that will raise between $100,000,000 or
$120,000,000 additional revenue per an-
1111111.
The bill will provide for an addition-
al tax of $1 per barrel upon beer, from
which $30,000,000 will be raised. On
manufactured tobacco and snuff the in—
ternal revenue tax will be increased
from 6 to 12 cents. This is expected
to raise $15,000,000 of revenue. The in-
crease on cigars and cigarettes has not
been absolutely fixed, but it probably
will be $1 on all classes. From this $5.-
000,000 is expected.
The proposition which the Senate
placed on the tariff bill, but which went
out in conference, to tax all stocks and
transfers of corporations, is embodied
in the measure, together with practi-
cally all the scheme of internal rev-
enue taxation of the act of 1866, which
includes a. stamp tax on all checks,
drafts and all instruments of business
~mortgages, loans and bonds—a. tax
on patent and proprietary medicines
and a. tax on telegraph messages and
express packages is also incorporated
in the bill. The scheme of taxation is
estimated to raise $35,000,000.
The tax on proprietary medicines will
be two cents on packages or bottles
retailing at 25 cents or under, and four
cents on those‘ retailing above that
price. The tax on. telegraph messages
will be one cent on all messages which
cost 25 cents or less and two cents on
all above 25 cents. A duty of 10 cents
per pound upon coffee with a counter-
vailing internal revenue tax on stock
on hand. This latter will be in the
form of a. tax on the sales of stock on
hand to avoid the constitutional inhibi-
tion against a direct tax. From tea
and coffee $28,000,000 are estimated.
Bottled waters are to bear a tax sim-
ilar to patent medicines.
For .the pressing needs of the Gov-
ernment the Secretary of the Treasury
is given the general power to issue cer-
tificates of indebtedness, payable in
one year and to bear not more than 3
per cent. interest.
The Secretary of the Treasury is also
authorized to borrow on the credit of
the Government, by popular subscrip—
tion, a loan of $500,000,000. This loan
is 'to be placed throughout the post of-
fices of the country, the sub-Treasuries
and Government depositories in low-
rate bonds, which are to be sold at par.
They are to bear 3 per cent. inteiest,
and to be redeemable after five years,
to be due in twenty years. The princi-
pal and interest are’ to be payable in
coin. -
The measure will be presented to the
full committee to-day, or to-morrow,
and it will be brought into the House
as (soon as the war resolutions are
signed by the President.
MR. WANAMAKER’S REGIMENT.
He Receives Many Offers for Enlistment
and Also to Drill the Men.
Philadelphia, April 18.—John Wana—
maker has received several offers from
men of military experience to recruit
and drill the companies of the regiment
which he has promised to raise if need-
ed. The Secretary of War notified Mr.
Wanamaker to-day that as soon as
plans are decided on, details will be
mailed to him for his guidance. In vari-
ous departments of the Wanamaker
store men have signed a roll volunteer-
ing their services to the United States
for military duty. Outside the store
hundreds of offers have been received
by mail. ~
“I do not desire war,” said Mr. Wan-
amaker in an interview, “and if any
way could be arranged by which a. com-
promise woulvl enable us to maintain
an honorable peace, I would favor it,
but it seems 'thatuthe arbitrament of
war is the only solution apparent.
Therefore, it is wise, in my opinion.
for every available American citizen
to volunteer at.once. and thus present
an arraysof strength that would be im-
pressivefI believe that if we must have
war the only method to pursue is to
push the matter vigorously. Such a
course would tend to shorten the war.
I believe, therefore, that men should
step to the front and perform their
duty as true citizens of a. great repub—
lic."
Germany Said Hands Off.
Berlin, April 18.—It is learned from
an authentic source that Germany took
the lead in pledging the Continental
powers to maintain absolute neutral-
4 ity in case of war between the United
States and Spain. The greatest resist-
ance offered to Germany’s proposals
was from France and Austria, who ac-
quiesced only with the proviso that Eu-
rope is 'to have something to say tow-
ard the end, or after, in settling the
peace conditions.
Troops from Department of Lakes.
Chicago, April 18.—Troops from the
Department of the Lakes will leave for
‘ the front to-morrow. This includes the
troops at Fort Sheridan, Fort Thomas,
Ky.; Forts Brady and Wayne, Mich,
and Columbus Barracks, Ohio. General
John P. Brooks and his staff will not
go to Chickamauga until the end of the
week. ' '
This Ought to Settle It. -
Madrid, April 18.—The Official Ga-
zette soon will publish the report of the
Spanish Commission of Inquiry into the
Maine disaster, demonstrating that the
explosion Was of internal origin.
