. Washington, May 9.. At a cabinet
meeting today, besides the war situa
tion in its general aspect, there was
eome discussion of the relative merits
of persons seeking brigadier-generalships
and other commissions in the
nrmy. The president expressed him
self very pronouncedly as opposed to
the appointment to such responsible
positions of thoBe who have bad no
military experience.
One feature of the session was a dis
cussion of the attitude of the senate in
providing the "sinews of war" for de
fraying the expenditures of the war.
The president has positive information
that the senate committee on finance,
which is still struggling with the war
revenue bill, will report the measure
with the bond feature eliminated.
This oauBes the administration great
uneasiness and embarrassment, and the
statement is made that the possibility
of adverse action of the full body of the
senate is a source of inuoh anxiety.
The president laid before the cabinet
the information he had as to what is
to be looked for from the senate, and,
while not expressing absolute confi
dence in favorable aotion by the senate
with the bond feature incorporated, ex
pressed the hope that there would be a
satisfactory majority for the bond pro
vision. Should it not become a part of
the law, many urgent appropriations
for the war will have to be held back.
The money to be secured from bond
sales, it is said, is needed imperatively
for the execution of the plans mapped
out, and adverse action by the senate
was likely to interfere unless the money
is otherwise provided, and by as speedy
a method as by the issuance of bonds.
The administration is anxious to im
press this fact upon congress, so that
sarnie revenues may be at hand for a
vigorous prosecution of the war.
There was considerable gratification
winced at .the general war outlook.
Thore was a strong belief that the
Swinish fleet, instead of sailing aoross
the seas to intercept the Oregon or to
;nme into the waters near home to bo-
tin operations, would be found eventu
jilly to be now progressing to some point
closer to its own possessions on the
other side of the ocean.
While there is great retrcience on
the part of members of the adniinistra
tion on the subject, there is excellent
authority for the statement that the
instructions of Admiral Sampson give
him great latitude.
It was announced by Secretary Alger
todav that the volunteer army will con
slst of seven corps, each in command of
a maior-general.
Theodore Roosevelt was mustered in
as lieutenant-colonel today. "Fighting
Joe" Wheeler was the first of the major
generals of the volunteer aimy to be
mustered in. W heeler lias tneiiistino-
tion of being the first ex-Confederate
officer to receive a commission in the
military service of the United States.

THE LAFAYETTE; LEASED.
French Embassy Had Requested That
She Be Allowed to Proceed.
Washington, May 9. An interna
tional difficulty, connected with the
seizure of the French steamer Lafay
ette, has been removed by '"thehprompt
release of the vessel immediately upon
notice of her capture reaching the state
department. The explanation of the
action of the administration is given in
the statement which follows, and which
was issued from the White House to
night: The Lafayette was released in pursu
ance of orders which were issued by the
navy department previous to her seiz
ure, but which had not been received
by the commanding offloers of the ves
sels that made the capture. The facts
are that, on April 29, the French em
bassy made an informal inquiry as to
whether the Lafayette, which left Saint
Nazarre, France, for Vera Cruzt by
way of Havana, before war was de
clared, or information of the blockade
was received, would be allowed to land
in Havana, her passengers, mail bags
and the dispatch bag of the consulate-
general of France, and take some
French passengers on board. An assur
ance was given that, if this privilege
should be granted, the steamer would
be forbidden by the Fiench consul to
land goods.
The matter was duly considered, and
it was decided that, without regard to
the strict law of blockade, and as an
act of courtesy, the request of the
French government should be acceded
to. Orders were accordingly sent on
the second day of May.
When information was received of
the capture of the steamer and of her
having been brought to Key West,
these orders were communicated to her
captors, with instructions to release
the steamer and see that the orders
were duly dollvered, so that
they might be oarried into effeot. No
demand was made either by or on be
half of the French government, directly
or indirectly, for the steamer's release.
The Wilmington will escort the Lafay
ette to Havana tonight.
Caused Kxcitement In raris.
London, May 9. A special dispatch
from Paris says the seizure of the La
fayette has intensified thebittor feeling
against the United States. Angry ex
pressions are heard. The United States
embassy is under special police protec
tion, in view of a possible hostile dem
onstration. TO SOLVE ARCTIC PROBLEM.
Another Expedition Starts to the North
Headed by Walter Wellman.
New York, May 9. Walter Well
man will start Tuesday. on another ex
pedition in' an endeavor to reach the
north pole. He hopes also to deter
mine the fate of Andre, who has not
been heard from since two days after
he stepped into his balloon. Mr. Well
man, who was at the Gilsey house,
said:
"I am extremely hopeful that this
expedition will be more successful than
our last, when we reached 81 degrees
10 minutes north of Spitzhergen, and
then met with distaster. We were ub
sent about eight months before; this
time wo expect to remain about 18
months.
"After leaving Archangel, Russia,
we are to get 75 dogs and will proceed
direct to Franz Josef land. While
taking observations thero we shall try
to hunt Andre. If he is alive I be
lieve he is near there. We hope to
reach Cape Flora about July 15 or Au
gust 1, and to establish a supply sta
tion. "We expoct to pass the winter be
tween parallels 82 and 83 in huts, now
and then, however, running about on
snowshoes, training our dogs and test
ing our equipments. About February
10 we propose to start north over the
ice.' Contrary to the popular idea,
even at the north pole, the Buuimer is
too warm for good traveling, because
the power of the sun constantly shin
ing makes the snow soft and slushy.
and renders it difficult to drag the
sledges. The favorable season, there'
fore, lasts from early in 'February to
early in June, a period of about 18
weeks. It is for this 16 weeks our
plans have been laid, carrying just
enough provisions to take us through
June.
"The distance from our winter sta
tion to the pole will be about 500
statute miles, or a round tiip of about
1.000 miles. If we are able to cover
from nine to 10 miles a day, and keep
everlastingly at it, we may do the
whole thing. In my judgment we are
going finely outfitted on a sound plan,
and we shall have a big chance of solv
ing what is known as the Arctio prob
lem. At any rate, we expect to be
back home a year from next full."

Tug Leyden puts
Small Expedition
on Cuban Soil
New . York, May , 7.r-Tha .Maiand
Express Key West correspondent cables
the following account of the landing
of a small expedition from the tug Ley-
den in Cuba:,,.,.
The tug left Key West Monday, and
at daybreak yesterday her men made
the first attempt to land "an inspector to
confer with a party of Cuban.' insure
gents, who, were waiting oii-'the" beach.
While the conversation was being heid,
the people on the Leyden discovered
Spanish cavalrymen coming down a
hill toward tha shore, as if reconnoiter-
ing. " Tho Leyden signaled danger to
the , insurgents, and the - latter took to
the bushes. , Up to that time no cases
of Winchester rifles had been landed.
Seeing the cavalrymen, the Leyden's
boat returned ' alongside, lying a quar
ter of a mile off Bhore. The cavaliy
nien leveled their rifles at the tug, but
hesitated about firing; The insurgents,
n the meantime, had opened fire, driv
ing the cavalry back up the , hill, the
atter firing as they fled. The cavalry
returned shortly with reinforcements.
They paid no attention to the insur
gents, but began a sharp fusillade at
the tug. ' Bullets flew around the tug
so fast that the lookout oame down.
The Levden, seeing no ohance to land
the ammunition just then, picked up
the men she had landed and steamed
back to the flagship off Havana, re
porting it would be impossible to land
the cargo unless protected.
The gunboat Wilmington was imme
diately ordered to help the Leyden.
On returning to the landing point, the
Wilmington held off shore about a mile
and a half, the Leyden going close in
to the beach. The tug was signaled by
the insurgents that the coast was clear.
Manned bv four men, a boat then left
the Leyden with ammunition and two
large boxes of dynamite.
When a short distance from the
beach, a man aloft on the Leyden sang
out that the cavalry were coming down
to the beach again in strong force. The
Leyden then signaled the Wilmington,
and the latter came a trifle closer to
shore, and, with stern facing the beach,
tired four shots from her 4-inch rapid
fire guns. The cavalrymen retreated,
and the boats' cargo was then landed.
While waiting to attack the cavalry
men, the llmington fired at a blocfe
house further down the beach. There
were some 50 Spanish regulars sitting
on top ot this blockhouse watching
the Leyden and the insurgents. The
Wilmington's first Bhots went wild.
The 12th and last shot hit the bullseye.
When the smoke cleared away, the
blockhouse, the men and all had disap
peared, as though swallowed up. The
Spanish colors that had flown from the
house were seen high up in a tree,
where a shot had driven them.
The Lyden and Wilmington returned
to the flagship, and the former then
came here. There are dozens of holes
hi the tug's emokestaok from the bul
lots of the cavalrymen.
A SPANISH TRAP.
Some Fear Is Felt for Admiral Dewey's
Safety.
Chicago, May 7. A special to the
Journal from Washington says the fear
that Dewey may be bottled up in
Manila harbor is gaining ground. It
is recollected that the entranoe to
Manila bay is through a channel
planted with mines. Dewev passed
these in the night, and no opportunity
was given the Spaniards to fire them
Now, if be has not forced a surrendor of
the city and gained control of the
switchboards used in firing the sub
merged explosives, an attempt to leave
the harbor by any one of the ships
composing the Asiatic squadron .would
be met by an attack from the mines.
Senator Sewell, of New Jersey, who
has been appointed a major-general by
the president muy be selected to act as
military governor of the Philippines.
He is wise in statecraft, and possesses
extraordinary military experienoe and
ability. He will bo jiiBt the man, offl
cials say, to administer affairs in
Manila. He is a shrewd diplomat, and
will be equal to tho many emergencies
that will rise because of the jealousies
that are being engendered in Europe,
where the victory of Manila is already
beginning to have its effect.
Authority to Ann the Cubans.
Washington, May 7. Just before
adjournment, the senate passed an im
poitant war measure authorizing the
president and general officers ot the
army to supply the Cuban insurgents
with arms and munitions of war, and
empowering officers of the army serv
ing in Cuba to supply needy inhabitants
of the island with medicines and sub
sistence.
The house today disposed of two im
portant measures. The Alaskan land
bill, extending the homestead laws to
and providing for certain railway rights
of way in the district of Alaska, as
amended by the senate and agreed upon
in conference, was passed. The lubor
arbitration measure, providing for ar
bitration of disputes between employe
and certain common carriers, a bill
which has received very wide indorse
ment oy labor organizations throughout
the country, received the approval of
the house. A number of minor bills
were also passed.
Uracil's Neutrality.
Washington, May 7. Notice came to
the state department from Brazil today
that the government had declared neu
trality. There now is no cause to re
gret such action on the part of Brazil
for however beneficial the delay has
been to the United States in getting its
warships safely, along the Brazilian
coast, the issue of the proclamation
just now is likely to be still more ben
eficial in closing Brazilian ports to the
Spanish flying squadron, if it should be
Leaded le that direction.

Washington, May fl. A crack Span

West Indies. There are conflicting
reports on this point, however, and if

In that section, she would be almost

opinion is expressed that she is in no
particular danger at the hands of a
Spanish fleet. She will probably keep
3lose to the Brazilian coast within the
three-mile limit, where she cannot be
attacked, except by a breach of tne
neutrality laws.
News of a naval battle in Atlantic
aters, ending in an Amenoan victory
of equal if not greater importance than
that gained by Commodore Dewey off
Manila last Sunday, is both anxiously
awaited and confidently expected at
Washington within the next 10 days,
Despite the reticence of navy depart
ment officers regarding fleet move
ments, it is generally reported that an
important stroke is about to be deliv
red, and that the next news from the
North Atlantic and flying squadrons
will be of a sensational character.
The harbor of Key West is once
again empty. Six of Admiral Samp'
eon's most formidable Bhips, the New
York, Indiana, Iowa, Cinoinnati, De
troit and Mayflower, oame into port
early today, and after coaling, sailed
for an unknown destination. It is
from these vessels that the next import
ant news is expected. The other ves
els of the North Atlantic squadron are
still maintaining the blockade of the
ports of Cuba.

Destination of Sampson's Fleet.
London, May 6. A dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Key West, sent by
way of Tampa in order to escape cen
sorsliip, asserts of positive knowledge
that Roar-Admiral Sampson's fleet will

either to destroy or oocupy the coaling
station as a naval base before the Span
ish squadron arrives, and then put to
sea and try to engage the Cape Verde
fleet.
Clenfnegos Bombarded.
New York, May 0. A special to the
Press from Key West says Cienfuegos
has been bombarded. Not only did the
Marblehead silence the batteries of the
town on the afternoon of April 20, but
shelled tho town itsolf, playing havoc
with the buildings and driving thou
sands of the inhabitants to the inter
ior. The shooting at the forts was at

the 5-inch guns be given an elevation
to reach 8,000 yards.

changed for any American officers and
sailors who may be taken by the Span
iards, or until some other method for
their disposition is reuohed. The
Spaniards will be placed under guard
of a detachment of soldiers detailed for
that purpose.
The civilians taken from the Span
ish steamer Panama are held at Key
West and aro under the churgo of the

New York, May 6. Two more sub
marine mines, formerly a part of the
defenses of New York harlior, have
been cut from their cable and adrift.
The first was at Island beach, near
Burnegat, X. J., tho second came
