&runn TWO CENTf&5A SCHANTON PA., TUESDAY MORNING. MAY 10, 1898. TWO CENTS. NO NEWS RECEIVED FROM SAMPSON The Navy Department Does Not Expect to Hear from Him for Several Days Plans for Moving the Troops Upon Cnba at Once The Campaign Will Be Made Sharp, Short and Decisive. Washington, May 0. There is the best authority for the statement that today having passed without a report from Admiral Sampson, the navy de partment does not expect to hear from him within several days. The author ity for this statement Is fully acquaint ed with Admiral Sampson's plans, and the remtrk would seem to Indicate that the admiral having failed to find the enemy at the place expected, had turned his attention to the alternative pro ject. "What this Is cannot bo ascer tained. It Is evident, however, that the department is under no apprehension ns to the safety of the American Meet nor of any vessel of the fleet. The war department today paw fit to gratify the universal desire and inform the country through the press Just where the various state volunteer or ganizations are to be concentrated. It is the first time that any official state ment has been made as to the points of concentration themselves. The order as published by the department is thought in some quarters to warrant the as bumptlon that It contemplates a speedy movement of tho United States mili tary forces upon Cuba and in much greater force than was originally planned. The war department officials refuse to say anything on this point, but there Is every evidence that they expect a short, sharp, conclusive and Immediate campaign, such as could not bo waged by flvo or ten thousand sol diers. It Is also to be noted that prep arations made by the quartermaster's department and the commissary's de partment, so far as Is disclosed by ac tual orders, indicate that provision is being made for mobilizing and trans porting and feeding many thousands of men outside of the United States. With a view to systematizing tho great work of mobilizing the forces and putting them In service, tho war de partment has planned a scheme which, It is believed, will very much hasten the work of getting tho men together and equipping them, while avoiding any congestion of the railroad traille, such as Is always to be apprehended In cases of war. ORGANIZATION OF REGIMENTS. Instead of allowing all the troops called for from a particular state to be assembled and broken In at the ren dez.vnus, the department i9 Instruct ing Its mustering officers to complete the organization of regiments as rap Ul'y as rosslble nnd as soon as one la oiganized to report the fact tothe de partment when that regiment will be ordered at once to the coin', selected for concentration. In this way the government will be relieved greatly In the distribution of stores, which will bo called for only as fast as they are needed. The men also will be more amenable to discipline when quickly transferred to the concentration p-lnts outside their own .states. It Is the ex pectation that the first regiments or ganized and reported from the states will be sent to Chattanooga, thence going to Cuba via Mobile, Tampa, New Orleans and Galveston, for expedi tions will be dispatched from each ot these ports. The governor of a state will have no hand in the designation of the leglments to go to eorcentiitlon camps; the designation will depend upon the promptness with which tho volunteeifi are organized and are ready for transportation. Probably about one-third of tho entire levy called for by the president, or about 10,000 troops, will constitute the force tj be tent south to take part In the first Cuban service, following the regular army forces. There troops will be tho first to receive their equipments, Just as was defined In Geneial Miles' circular Issued today. When they are organi zed, equipped and concentrated the government will be teady to equip the second contingent; namely the forces, about equal to another third of the total call, which will bo assigned to the defenses of the coast and harbors, replacing the regulai United States troops withdrawn from these posts. Thue, it will be noted, from u study of tho concentiatlon order, that six regiments and two troops of New York volunteers aro assigned to duty under command of the department of the east commanding coast defenses and reserves, which probably will result In their employment In New Yoik har bor and along the shores of Long Island sound. Likewise In the cmse of Pennsylvania five regiments, two bat talions and two troops aro assigned to duty in tho east whieJi will place them along tho shores of Delaware bay and river as coast guaid to piotect the Important shipping Interests in that When these ure equipped, the gov ernment will turn Its attention to the third class, comprising the last third of tho 325,000 volunteers called for. It Is the Flnccnj hope of the war depart ment that It will not be railed upon to fully equip these troops before hostili ties are nt an end, but the work of preparation Is proceeding on the con trary assumption. This third division will constitute the second reserve to be drawn upon for reinforcements w henever needed and It is possible that the men never will be called upon to leave their own states unless tho plan i of the war department miscarry. It may be rcmaiked by the way that out of the first class will come the troops which will be sent to the Philippine islands. General allies has prepared a schema changing the boundaries of the present departments to facilitate the working out of the plan and It Is now before Secretary Alger for Improvement. Tho responses so far received from the metering officers continue to be very encouraging. The following tele gram today from Governor Clough to Adlutant General Corbln shows the state of feeling In the west: "State camp. St. Paul, Minn. Troops all mustered in and I believe we have threo regiments that are second to none the Twelfth, Thirteenth and Fourteenth regiments. All anxiously awaiting to go to the front. Please do not overlook Minnesota, the star state." MEDALS FOR HEROES Congress Will Recocnizn tho Ilrarery of Admiral Dewey nnd Ills Men. 810,000 Appropriated. Washington, May 9. Fitting tribute was paid by the senate today to Com modore Dewey for the magnificent vlc toiy he achieved In the battle, of Ma nila bay. A message from the president was received recommending that a vote of thanks be extended by congress to Commodore Dewey and the gallant offi cers and men of his command. With out a word of debate, and without a dissenting voice, the senate agreed to the lesolutlon carrying Into effect the iccommendation of the president. The day went farther, even, than that. A bill was presented Increasing the number of rear admirals in the nay from six to seven, in order that the president might nominate Commo dore Dewey to the highest position In the nay within his gift nnd that, too, was passed without dissent. In addi tion, a Joint resojutloa was unanimous ly agreed to directing the secretary of the navy to present to Commodore Dewey n sword of honor and to have struck, In commemoration of the battle of Manila, a bionze medal for each of the officers and men who participated In the gallant fight. The resolution appropriates $10,000 to enable the sec retary to carry its provisions Into ef fect. The bill offered last Friday author ized the postmaster general to estab lish postolilees at military posts and camps in order to facilitate the deliv ery of mall to soldiers, was repotted favorably by the postoffice nnd post roids committee and uninlmoi.sly passed. Subsequently an amendment to the postoffice appropriation bill was agreed to appropriating $50,000 to cany tho bill Into effect The postoffice appropriation bill was under discussion during almost tho en tire session, the subject of discussion being the proposition to reduce the compensation of railroads twenty per cent, for carrying the malls. The amendment was defeated by the decis ive vote of 40 to 8. At n lato hour It became evident the bill could not bo disposed ot today and It was unanimously ngreed to vote up on It at 2 o'clock tomorrow. TORPEDO BOAT SIGHTED. Copt.

The distinguished admiral gave the following pronounced reassuring lews: "The fear that Spanish vessels will molest cottages and hotels along our reaeonst is absurd. This Is not war, and I have no Idea that It will be re volted to by the Spaniards. Nor do I believe that thev will send a force ot any consequence to our northern coast. They will accomplish very little except ing, pel Imp i, the burning of a few coasting vessels, would have trouble in serin Inir coal nnd would run great risk of being cut off and destroyed by our ships before they could get nway.
