125,000 MEN ARE WANTED
A. Nearly as Possible, They “'m All Be

tho Quotas Are Distributed Among the
States—Governors “’11! Receive Formal
Notification To-Day. '
Washington, April 25.—-Acting under
the power vested in him by the Consti<
tutron and the laws, President McKin-
ley has issued his long expectedproc-
lam=ation calling for 125,000 volunteers
for the army. It reads as follows:
“By the President of the United States.
—A. proclamation.
“Whereas, By a joint resolution of
Congress approved on the twentieth
day of April, 1898, entitled ‘Joint reso-
lution for the recognition of the inde-
pendence of the people of Cuba, de-
manding that the Government of Spain
relinquish its authority and govern—
ment in the island of Cuba, and with-
draw its land and naval forces from
Cuba and'Cuban waiters, and directing
the President of the United States to
use the land and naval forces of the
United States to carry this resolution
into effect,’ and
“Whereas, By an act of Congress en-
titled “An act to provide for tempor-
sarily indreasingthe military establish-
ment of the United States in time of
war and for other purposes,’ approved
April.22, 1898, the President is author-
ized, in order to raise a Volunteer army,
to issue his proclamation calling for
volunteers to serve in the Army of
the United States:
“Now, therefore, I, William McKin-
ley, President of [the United States, by
virtue of the power vested in me by the
Constituion and he laws, and deeming
sufficient occasion to exist, have
thought fit to call forth, and hereby do
call forth, volunteers to the aggregate
number of 125,000, in order to carry into
effect the purpose of the said resolu-
tiq; the same to be apportioned, as far
as practicable,‘ among the several
.‘é'at-es and Territories, and the District
of Columbia, according to population,
and to serve for two years, unless soon—
er'discharged. The details for this ob-
ject will be immediately communicated
W'ar Department.
"in witness whereof, I haVe her-cunt)
so: my hand and caused the seal of the
Un"ed States to be affixed.

and of the independence of the United
States the one hundred and twenty-sec-
ond. ' WILLIAM McKINLEY.
“By 'the President: '
“JOHN SHERMAN,
“Secretary of State.”
Although technically the call for
troops was made to the country Satur-
day, the proclamation will not be car-
ried into execution until to-day. it
was the President’s expressed desire
that “all unseemly demonstration on
the Sabbath should be avoided.” As
provided in all similar proclamations,
the details will be executed by the War
Department. Accordingly, to-day the
Secretary of .VVar will communicate
with; the Governors of the various
States and Territories, informing them
omcially of the proclamation of the
President, and stating the number of
troops which each State is required to
supplyio; the Federal Government un-
dercthe-calh. u . ~~ ‘ -
The: greatest. promptness is expected
tOnfollow:thevxtransmi‘ttal of this com-
munication in‘orderlng out such mem—
bersof Statqullitla organizations as
have tendencies" may tender their ser-
vices to the zGovernment as volunteers.
It. is»: the-.initent'ion; of the War Depart-
ment that the troops to be supplied by
each State --shall~be.ordered into camp
at the place where the annual encamp-
ments of the State militia organizations
occur, or at such other places as the
Governors of the States may designate.
In accordance with this policy orders
have been issued to the National Guard
of the District of Columbia to enter
camp to-day on the grounds of the Na-
tional Soldiers’ Home near Washington.
A false impression is likely to be en-
tertained in regard to the time when the
volunteer troops will be ordered to the
South. The army administration feels
certain that if it were necessary the en-
tire 125,000 men could be mobilized in
the Department of the Gulf within ten
days or two weeks. This necessity,
however. is deemed not to exist. The
administration believes that the volun-
teer troops should remain in the State
camps long enough to become “season-
ed" for active campaigning and to be-
come thoroughly equipped and drilled
for-service. It is more than probable
that the troops will not be ordered from
the bounds of their own States within
three weeks; they may remain at home
for a month. By that time the sup-
plies which the War Department has
ordered .in large quantities for the
equipment of the volunteer army will
have been delivered to the Government
and distributed to the troops. .
The department has received a dis-
patch from New Orleans stating that
6,000 mules are to be had at that place.
This is the consignment that was in-
tended for the use of the Spanish army
in Cuba and which was ordered back to
the United States. '
While it is the purpose of the War
Department to secure only national
guardsmen as far as possible under this
first call for volunteers. yet in States
where there are no national guards or
where the number falls below the quota
fixed in the call .the States will be ex-
pected to supply the volunteers regard-
less of their lack of organizations. In
fact, this must be done under the law.
The basis of to-day's call for 125,000
men, the various States and Territories,
including the District of Columbia, will
be called upon to supply each the fol-
lowing number of volunteers.

CONSPIRACY AND BRIBERY.
Reported by Ohio Senate Committee to
Have Existed in Mark Hanna’s
Election.
Columbus, Ohio, April 25.—A majority
‘of the Senate committee has reported
that evidence taken ,by them showed
a conspiracy to elect M. A. Hanna Unit-
ed States Senator by bribery and that
the attempt by General Boyce to bribe
Representative Otis was known to
Rathbone, Dick, Hanna and other
workers in Mr. Hanna’s interest at Co-
lumbus. Concluding, the committee
says:
“Your committee finds from the evi-
dence that Senator Marcus A. Hanna
is guilty of the crime of attempting to
bribe John C. Otis, a member of the
House, to vote for him for United States
Senator. The evidence, which bears the

The minority report calls attention to
the fact «that. the case was tried by a
“packed jury;" and that this was the
reason why Senator Hanna, Major Dick
and Major Rathbone declined to appear
before the committee; that the evidence
was largely hearsay, and-thattno im-
portant fact tending to connect Messrs.
Hanna, Dick or Rathbone was brOught
out during the investigation.

ENGLAND 'l AKES ACTION.-
Declares Neutrality and Order: Our Ships
from Her Ports.
Washington, April 25.——Great Britain
has made declaration of neutrality be-
tween Spain and the United States, and:
has notified the commanders of United-
States war vessels in English ports to
leave. within forty-eight hours. This:
information came to the Navy Depart-~
ment yesterday from Admiral Dewey,
commanding the American squadron at
“ Hong Kong; the commander of the tor-
pedo boat Somers at Falmouth, and the-
oflicer in charge of the cruiser Albany,
formerly the Brazilian ship Abreuall, at
Newcastle.
As a result of this move on England’s
part the offensive movement of Ad-
miral Dewey’s squadron against the
Philippine Islands will not be longer de-
layed. Orders went to Admiral Dewey
last night to up anchor and proceed to
Manila immediately. He will blockade
that port and other p , s in the islands,
and probably make‘én attempt «to de-
stroy the Spanish gunboats which have
been operating. with the land forces
against the rebels iii-Spain’s eastern
possessions... 1- . ,-
It is probable that the first real ac-
tionof‘the .war will take place in Phil-
ippine Waters, and, with the knowledge
of our great superiorily' over that
of the enemy, there: can be no doubt as
to whaIt-the result‘will‘be. The Span-
ish' gunboats in .the Philippines are
scattered-around the waters of those
islands-,and it will be remarkable if
some of them do not meet the ships un-
der Admiral Dewey's command.
NO SOLDIERS FOR CUBA.
Until the Blockade Has Extended Over-
Several Weeks—Then a Great Swoop.
Washington,’April 25.—Two represen-
tatives of an 'enterpi’sing Easterngpa-
per have been in. the city with a view
to making arrangements for going to
the front as war correspondents. One
of “the men in question called on a.
United States Senator who is known as
a. close friend of President McKinley,
and asked his judgment as to when the
United States forces would land in Cu-
ba. The Senator said:
“You may as well go home and take
a. nest for two or three weeks. I have
reasons for believing that no troops will-
be landed before the expiration of that
time. My belief is that the neet will
blockade Havana until the Spaniards.
are pretty nearly starved out. Naval
authorities in whom I have confidence
are ofthe opinion that the Spanish heat
will not come to the rescue of the forces
now on the island.
“We shall have ample time to prepare
for a descent upon the island and when.
ready forces will be landed without the-
loss of a man, under the protection of
guns of our fleet, within a. day’s march
of Havana." ‘
Tho-Cable to Havana Cut.
Key West, April 25.——Now that the
Government is preparing to strike a
decisive blow at Havana, ithas decided
to let no further information get‘qto the
enemy. The cable to Havana hasbeen
cut, and the people ofxthat ~.,city will
have no means of knowing—anything
about Admiral Sampson’s fleet until .it
comes hammering with fists of iron and
steel at the door of the Cuban capital.
The Government has taken poSsession
of the wires leading from' Key West to
the mainland and established a. censor-
ship over 3.1 cables offered as strict as
any that'Spain ever enforced. 'No news
regarding the doings or purposes of the
fleet will be allowed to go'out-of Key
West. - ‘v
