"VVashlnKton, April 21, Tlio tonlo of nhnorblnp; Interest In military circle yesterday was tlio expected decision of the president and Secretary Alger upon the (ltiestion of how to place tlio vol unteer forces nt the Bervlco of the rov crnment. No less than threo consulta tions were held yesterday nt tho White House on this subject, but It was finally announced that It would not be possible to Issue the expected call for volunteers until this afternoon. The district in II 1 1 In forces have been of fered to the government by General JTnrrlos, and there Is some expectation that these will bo the first of th mllllla forces to bo drawn Into the Gov ernment Bervlcp. Other events of the day at the war department were tho letuin to Washington and report of the artillery export who Inspected the southern fortifications, and the ap pointment of some new aides on tho Btnff of General Miles. The ordnnnce bureau also made another heavy requi sition for funds. The present expectation Is that Gen eral Miles, commanding the army, will leave the city on Saturday for a tour of Inspection of the points where tho regular army will bo mobilized In the south. He will be nccompanled by a number of aides, and the first stop will, it Is said, be .at Chlckamagua battlelleld. After spending some time there the general will proceed to the other points, returning thereafter to Washington. The trip will be primarily one for Inspection purposes, besides which It will give General Miles and his aides much Information respecting the conditions existing at various points for assembling the militia. General A. W. Greely, chief signal ofllcer, has detailed Lieutenant Joseph R. Maxfleld, stationed at New York, to take charge r f all matters pertain ing to the iiuestlnn of providing bal loons for the use of the army. Surgeon General Sternberg, of the army, has had applications for posi tions by over 1,000 persons In the medi cal profession. The surgeon general, however, thinks tho regular army med ical corps Is udeiiuate for all pre'sent purposes. In the event of the occupa tion of Cuba the department would make tin effort to obtain physicians who are immune to yellow fever for service there. It Is said the war department la mak ing arrangements for purchasing an additional number of machine rapid fire guns In Kurope. Interested People. Advertising a patent medicine in the pe culiar way in which the proprietor of Kemp's lialsam for Coujlis and Colds does it, is in deed wonderful. He authorizes all druggists to give to'tliose who call for it, a sample botlle free, that they may try it before pur chasing. The large bottles are 25 and Goc. We certainly would advise a trial.

The submarine boat Holland was tented olllelally yes terday under the direction of a naval board of Inspection, and proved an un doubted success. The olllclnl trial took placo In Haitian bay, In the vicinity of the dredge channel, wlieie the sub marine boat had about 30 feet of water to play In. The Innpectlon board appointed by the naval authorities to witness and report on the elHcacy of the new boat Rave orders to make u dive of ten min utes' durutlon and come to the sur fuce, then dlvo ten minutes more and come up analn, after this two more dives, each of ton minutes' duration, which would brlmr the boat back to the place of br-glnnlnfr, then to run on the surface, when the aerial pro jectile and dummy torpedo were to be expelled from the bow and stern tubes, respectively. All hands passud through the man hole on the superstructure of the boat, and Captain Holland pulled down thi covering, which made the boat practi cally water and air tight. A long blast from the two Inch whistle slBiilflcJ that the test was about to beKin, and shs disappeared in about 30 seconds. As she went down a loud cheer went up from the spectators on the tugs, and it was seen that the slender Ilagstaff aft, on which the small American llaK wns nailed, had broken off short, but was held fast to the boat by a slender wire rope. After the end of 30 minutes there was no sign of the submarine terror, and then some of those most Interested bo- SUDMARIXK BOAT HOLLAND, gan to fear that the Holland had dis appeared never to rise again. Some of the more sanguine of the Holland's friends kept the doubtful Thomases In good cheer by assuring them that the boast was capable of staying down for 48 hours, and that there was no fear of her safety nnd that of the crow. One of the lookouts on the Llnderman spied the conning tower of the Holland about a mile and a half to the eastward at the end of 3S minutes, but this appear ance of the little craft was only mo mentary, for she disappeared again, and at the end of 58 minutes from the time she first went down she bobbed up serenely nbout two miles south of the black buoy, and her whistle tooted joyfully. During the entire trial of the diving capabilities of the boat the naval ex perts caught sight of her only once, and while they did not tell what their opinion of her was, the fact that the experts failed to locate the position, or rather whereabouts of the boat, not withstanding that they were aware that she must have been within a radius of three miles from where the tugs were lying, they undoubtedly were satisfied that the submarine boat could easily steal a march on an enemy, when she could play Bad havoc. A dummy projectile weighing about 80 pounds, with a force of COO pounds of air pressure was sent a distance of 400 yards. A dummy torpedo weighing 82G pounds was quickly sent through the expulsion tube in the boat's stern about 30 yards. The boat's endurance qualifications are a distance of 800 miles on the sur face and 48 hours under water. If the Inventor builds other boats he will in crease the motive power from 45 horse power to 100 In the engines, which are worked hy gasoline, and It Is expected that the new boats will have a speed of at least 12 knots an hour.
