tions between two naliona which had
been at war aud in the brief struggle
had changed the map of the worid.
The tpeeche of today were especially
notable. They were plain-spoken and
devoid of the usual hazy diplomatic
phraseology. The ceremony was ex
ceedingly aiiwple.
Upon reaching ihn blue room, thVy

bat dignified in his greeting. The due

plenipotentiary. Yon wi'l Cod, Mr.
Minister, cordial welcome io tl.i
country, not only from tbose whose
friendship you acquired daring yoar
former residence, but from all our peo
ple, who rejoice a I do at tbe renewal
of tbe ancient bonds of amity which,
with a brief Interruption, have united
our nations tor more that 100 years.
"That these friendy relation may he
confined and strengthened lo th advan
tage of both people i my earnest wish
and I can assure you that every member
of this govornment will heartily co
operate with you to that desirable end."
At the coiiclu'fon of the address the

Slid they engaged In Conversation In a
low tone for a minute or two. The
party then retired and was driven to the
Arlington hotel.
No Call for Troops.
Wamiim.ton, June 2. The cnbinet at
its meeting today decided there was no
present necessity for the enlistment of
more volunteers.
The situation was gone over very fully
before this conclusion was reached. The
president (land ready to authorise th
enlistment of volunteers, should more
men be deemed necessary.
A letter received from General Wood,
governor of Santiago province, wa read
at the meeting, which waa considered
eminently satisfactory. General Wood
ha completed a lour to the province,

tery, news reached Gus Baker that his

twoor three slightly woouded, proceeded
with al! possible haste toward Laguna

Fourth inlantry last. At 5 o'clock these
