VOL. LXXI. THE WAR SITUATION THE PRESIDENT CALLS FOR MORE VOLUNTEERS. The Spanish Feet Now Supposed to be at sSantingo--A Big Naval Battie Can be Expocted wt Any Time, WasHiNoTON, May 25.—The event of the day in the war situation was the issuance of a proclamation by the President calling for 75,000 more vol- unteers. It added a new and striking phase to the lethargic conditions which have prevailed of late, and came with almost startling unexpectedness even to many of the high official officers in the army. The proclamation means only the assembling of a large of troops, but also the appointment ofa number of major generals, brigadier generals, colonels, majors staff field officers for the organization of this additional force of 75,000 men into army corps, divisions, brigades and regiments. Yesterday at the day at the Navy Department the situation as to the fleets, both American and Span- ish, was precisely as it was a few days ago, so far as the knew, the only notable difference being an appa- rent strengthening of the confidence of the officials in their belief that Cerve- ra’s squadron is lying in the Santiago harbor. In this hope and belief the of- ficials found great comfort, knowing the abilities of the Ainerican naval commanders in Cuban walters to keep the Spanish admiral bottled up in his narrow-neck harbor until he shall sur- render or be starved out. If Cervera is actually at bay the of- ficials feel not the slightest apprehen- sion of any relief coming to him from the outside in the shape of Spanish squadron from Cadiz. The reason for this belief is their un- questioned abilily to hold Cervera in check with only a few vessels—perhaps a couple of mouitors and torpedo boats not force and close of the officials another —thus leaving the remainder of the biz armored fleet and a great number of unarmored bat cerviceable war craft to take care of any that might attempt Spain to Cervera’s aid. Cervera's fleet is now at Cileniuegos, re-enforcementis to from e \ come Bimini WAR NEWS SUMMARY Admiral S.umpson has been ordered to destroy the fortifications at San Ju- an.

According to the Railway Age the railroads of the United State: carried 15,000,000,000 passengers one mile and 95,000,000,000 tons of freight one mile in 1897. Of the total earnings of the railways about 70 per cent. came from freight service and 30 per cent. from pessenger. The railroads had to carry a passenger 500 miles {o earn one dol- lar of profit, or say five miles to earn one cent. They had also to handle a ton of freight (beside loading it) 1550 miles to make one dollar profit, or over Mary fifteen miles to make one cent. A VALUABLE PUELICATION, 1808 Su amer KE. Look.

It that poriant order issued by Secretary Long has been upon the advice of this board. It would be the most natural thing in the world that both Mr, McKinley and Secretary Long, neither of whom has had any experience in naval fighting, should seek the assisiance of naval officers in conducting that branch of the war. The unnataral thiog is that such a statement should have been al. lowed to have been made. The Naval War Board has certainly done all the conducting of the war that has been done from the Washington end; if there is any credit, it should not be de. prived of it any more than it should be shielded from eriti ciam, Senator Daniels made one of the strongest speeches yet made against an issue of bonds, and in favor of paying the expenses of the war as we go along rather than saddling them upon pos- terity. Replying to the contention that the issue of bonds proposed was intended for effect upon Spain, Senstor Daniels said that if the desired effect could be assured he was ready to vole to issue the bonds. “Bat,” he im- pressively continued, “If Bpain was not convinced at Manila that this country was in earnest in this war, then Sampson and Schley and Miles and their lieutenants have some argu- ments to submit to her that will prove to be even more vehicles of would be safe to say every conviction than jasue could be,” any of He declared the stamp tax to be the odious tax a most and pestiferous J invented by man, A State College Commencement, st 12.
