By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Washington, 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 stirring
phase to the lethargic conditions which
hare prevailed of late and came with
almost startling unexpectedness even
to many of the highest officials in the
army.
The proclamation means not only
the assembling of a large force of
troops, but also the appointment of a
number of major generals, brigadier
fenerals, colonels, majors, staff and
eld officers for the organization of
this additional force of 75,000 into
army corps, divisions, brigades and
regiments. r
The reasons leading up to the call
naturally were sources of much con
jecture, as it was at first felt that the
possibility of foreign complications
was a factor in bringing about this
new move. It speedily developed,
however, that the call was not due to
any latent or serious emergency, but
was rather in the line of getting to
gether a large body of men, to be
drilled and seasoned, and to constitute
a sort of second reserve to be drawn1
upon later when the campaigns
were fully under way. Secretary Alger
stated that the determination to issue
the call had not been reached until
yesterday. The merits of it have been
canvassed more or less for some
weeks, bnt it was not until a few'
hours before (he call itself appeared,
that the movement was finally decided
upon.
Coming thus unexpectedly the
War Department had made no
preparations for the call and it will be
some days before the details are
worked out as to the quotas from each
State; the calls to the respective Gov
ernors of the States; the mustering
points and the general points of con
centration. All that is settled thus far is that the
enlistments are to be .thrown open,
much as they were at the outbreak of
the civil war, and are not to be re
stricted to the militia and national
organizations of the several States.
It will be an encouragement to the
organization of independent volunteer
companies and regiments. These will
retain their identity to a certain extent
as State troops, as the Governors will
have the appointment of all company
and regimental officers, while only, the
brigade, division, corps and staff offi
cers will be appointed by the Presi
dent While the Adjutant General has not
vet made up the quota of the several
States, the following is an approxi
mate estimate of the- quotas of the
following States: Alabama, 1,500;
Florida, 450; Georgia, 1,950; Louisiana,
1,164; Mississippi, 1,155; North Caro
lina, 1,546; South Carolina, 445; Vir
ginia, 1,675.
The organization and division of
this extensive force is yet to be ar
ranged by the Adjutant General's
office. Generally speaking, however,
the 75,000 men will suffice for the
formation of seventy-five regiments.
With three regiments to a brigade,
which is the present basis of organiza
tion, this makes twenty-five brigades.
In turn, eight divisions of three
brigades each will be formed,
aha out of these divisions the
entire force will be divided into
three army corps. This general divi
sion is, of course, tentative, but it
shows the general formation of this
body of troops. The new force will
require, either by appointment or by
officers already appointed, three major
generals and about twenty-four-brigadier
generals. The law authorizes
the President to appoint one major
general for each army corps, and one
brigadier general for each brigade.
It was stated at the War Depart
ment that the details for the work of
organizing this new foree would not
be actively taken up for the present.
Just now the Adjutant General's of
fice is engaged in completing the en
listment of the 125,000 volunteers un
der the first call. It will take some
time to complete this work, and not
until then will the real wortof organ
izing the volunteers under the second
call begin.
An Army of Invasion,
Reports were current to-day that an
army of invasion was about to start for
Cuba and Porto Rico. It was based
on the conjecture which has been cur
rent of late, but officials in authority
give it no endorsement, as it was
manifestly contrary to public policy to
give any advance information of such
a movement even if it were contem
plated. The report that Gen. Miles
and his staff would leave to-night was
specifically denied, although it is prob
able that the commanding General
will leave for the South at an early
day.
' Cervera's Fleet.
At the close of the day at the Navy
Department the situation as to the
fleets, both American and Spanish, was
Sirecisely as it was this morning, so
ar as the officials know, the only
notable difference being an ap
parent strengthening of the con
fidence of the officials in then' be
lief that Cervera's squadron is lying in
the Santiago harbor. In this hope and
belief, the officials found great com
fort, knowing-the abilities of the Amer
ican naval commanders, in uuDan
waters to keep the Spanish Admiral
bottled up in his narrow-necked har
bor until they .shall surrender or be
starved out. If Cervera ir actually at
bay the officials feel not the slightest
apprehension of any relief coming Jto
him from the outside in the shape of
another Spanish squadron from Ca
diz. The reason for this belief
their unquestioned aDiiity
ty, Vinld CJervera in check with
is
only a few vessels, perhaps a
t1a nf monitors and torpedo boats,
thus leaving the remainder of the big
armored fleet to take care of . any rein
forcements that might attempt to come
from Bpam to uervera s am. iuo
spared for this service
;i,f onHanu-erinc the integrity of
the blockade at Havana or permitting
the escape of Cervera would be much
larger than the entire Spanish naval
force now in Spanish waters capable
of crossing the Atlantic.
Change in Army Plans.
Within the past few weeks, in fact
ever since the determination was posi
tively reached to invade Cuba before
the dry season next Fall, there have
been published intimations that the
delay or what appeared to be the delay
in beginning the invasion was attribu
table to the navy. .
It can be stated on the highest au-
ti tt tt,nt ilia lmnmsfrion thus Cre-
, i L.ii- ..n.i,ia trt fhA navv ana

has been a moment even when
Sampson's forces were at Porto Rico,
when the navy was not prepared on
instant orders to aid the army.
Neither has the army been at fault in
this matter. It was at first proposed
to throw a small force of men, about
S000, into Cuba immediately and
ow the remainder of the army of
occupation to wait until next Fall be
fore going over. There were various
reasons for abandoning this plan, such
as the discovery of the insufficient sup
port that could be rendered the Ameri
can force by the insurgents, and the
fact was brought out with appalling
force that to delay the campaign
meant the absolute extermination of
the starving reconcentrados, and there
were beside other reasons for making
haste. These considerations caused a
complete change in the army plans,
and that involved delay.
To equip an army of 100,000 men in
thirty days and ' put them in a conr
dition to fight trained veferan soldiers
on their own soil was no small under
taking, so that in the opinion of some
of the highest officers of the adminis
tration Ulnv ia r.r.
ifor pressiner the criticism that there is
or has been undue delay in beginning
the military campaign, either on the
part of the army or navy.
Recommendation has been made
that contracts be awarded for supply
ing the armor for the three battleships
under construction as follows : To the
Carnegie Company 1153 tons for the
Illinois and 2,558.96 tons for the Wis
consin ; Bethlehem 1,405 tons for the
Illinois and 2, 558 tons for the Alabama ;
all at $400 per ton.
TROOPS MOVING.
Recruits Going to Tampa and San Fran
cisco. By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Atlanta, Ga., May 25. The de
parture of recruits to the front will be
gin to-morrow when 700 men will
leave Fort McPherson, the general re
cruiting rendezvous, for Tampa.
These men will report to General Shaf
ter and be assigned to the different re
giments now in camp there. They
are fully clothed, but lack equipment,
which they will recieve oa reaching
Florida.
On Friday one thousand of the
newly initiated men will leave At
lanta for San Francisco. They have
volunteered for service in the Philip
pines. The Department of the Gulf has
been endeavoring to get these men
started for several days, but a lack of
clothing has delayed their departure.
Their uniforms are expected to-morrow
and the men will start for the
coast the day following. The troops
are a fine-looking body of men and set
about their duties with a cheerfulness
which is surprising to old army
officers.
The departure of these men will
tend in a great measure to relieve the
congestion of the past three or four
days caused by a lack of facilities at
the post. The quartermaster and
commissary branches of the De
partment of the Gulf have been
taxed to their utmost in equipping
volunteers from this section of the
country and to have three thousand
recruits without ar change of any
rations thrown on them seriously
handicapped the department. There
was some complaint from the recruits
on account of inadequate cooking
facilities, but the capacity of the
kitchens have been recently quad
rupled and no further trouble is an
ticipated. The recruits continue to ar
rive at the rate of six hundred a day
and as soon as clothing and equipment
can be had for them they will be sent
to the various regiments for which
they are intended.

By Cable to the Horning Star.
Madrid, May 25, 7. P. M. A dis
patch has just been published giving
details of the arrival of Admiral Cer
vera's squadron at Santiago de Cuba.
It says:
"At 3 o'clock on the morning of
May 19th, the Infanta Maria Teresa
entered the port of Santiago de Cuba,
flying the flag of Admiral Cervera.
She was followed almost immediately
by the Vizcaya, the Alacante Oquendo,
the Christobel Colon and the torpedo
boat destroyer Pluton. Soon after
ward the torpedo-boat destroyer Furor
which had been reeonnoitering, ar
rived. :
The inhabitants swarmed to
shores of the bay, displaying the
most iov and enthusiasm. All
the
ut
the vessels in the port were dressed in
gala array. On Saturday night there
was an imposing demonstration in
honor of the officers and crews. The
bands of the city played patriotic airs:
there were brilliant illuminations and
the people paraded the streets singing
patriotic songs.
Admiral Cervera and officers were
given a banquet at the Casino, where
loyal toasts were honored, the princi
pal speech being made by Admiral
Cervera and Monsignor Saenz de
Urturi y Crespo, Archbishop of Santi
ago de Cuba, the latter of whom ex
claimed :
"It is not sufficient to be victorious
on the sea. The Spanish flag must
float on the capital.
Five vessels were in front of the port
yesterday. It is believed that the
American vessel Eagle has been
charged to cut the cables.
The dispatch is not dated.
It is announced that the Countess of

Magnolia Bluff is about one mile east
of the city, is nearly one hundred feet

locations for an encampment to be

REIGN OF TERRO
AT KEY WEST.
Strong Efforts Made by Citizens
to Have Martial Law
Proclaimed.
TWO MURDERS COMMITTED.
Sailors and Marines Made a Raid on the
Jail Looking for a Negro Murderer.
Intense Peeling More Trouble
Anticipated.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Key West, Fla., May 26. Key
West is suffering from a reign of
terror. Two murders were committed
during the night and the best citizens
feel that unless the town is promptly
put under martial law a state of riot
may prevail at any moment.
The police force consists of three
men, with grievances of their own.
and with streets and grog-shops in
fested with turbulent iackies, negroes
and roughs of many classes, the danger
to tne respectable classes is no mean
one.
In consequence of last nisrht's blood
shed, Commander Fosy the has already
asked for a eruard of twentv-five
marines to protect the naval station
and government dock, . and strong
efforts are being made by citizens to
have martial law declared.
William Carne, a seaman on the
auxiliary gunboat Morrill, and Vlad
imir Lchuitsky a sailor on another
gunboat, were attacked last night in a
Cuban coffee shop by Charles Kit
chen, a local negro. Lchuitsky was
killed and Carne badlv wounded.
Kitchen made his escape. The cause
of the trouble is said to have been
Kitchen's jealousy of his negro wife.
John J. Dorsev. a reputable ma
chinist of Manateo, Fla., about 55
years of age, was found dead early
this morning in a vacant lot near the
Key West Hotel. Robbery is supposed'
to have led to the murder. Charles
Wallace, the leader of a ganer of
young Key West toughs has been ar
rested, charged with the crime. With
in the past month three so-called
peace guardians" have resigned
office; complaining that they harve
long oeen paia in city scrip at tne rate
of fifty dollars per month which is
discounted at one-half. A new trio of
policemen were obtained and these
now show signs of rebellion, declaring
that they are suffering: under like
disadvantages and will resign.
Situation Serious.
9.45 P. M. What threatens to de
velop into an ugly affair, if not a
lynching, occurred to-night, andf at
this writing the situation is decidedly
serious.-
A report was circulated that a ma
rine had been shot and killed by a ne
gro. The "report- reached the sailors
and marines, the latter of whom were
enjoying their first day s liberty since
arriving here, and they formed into
two battalions and marched on the
jail with loaded revolvers.
bhen ft Knight met them at the door
and parleyed with them, assuring
them that the negro was not in cus
tody. The invaders drew off a short
distance and selected two blue-jackets
and one marine to go through the
jail. The sheriff was powerless to re
sist and made no attempt to do so.
Twelve negroes were found in the jail,
but as the identity of the supposed
murderer was a mystery, the party
was halted. Some of the more turbu
lent spirits suggested a lynching of a
negro on principle, but the sheriff
promising to find and produce the as
sailant if the story were true, the party
left and scoured the town in the hope
of coming upon their man.
Intense Feeling Against Negroes. I
The feeling among the iackies and
the marines against the . negro popula
tion is intense, aggravated by the
assault of Charles Kitchen, a negro, on
a seaman, which resulted in the killing
of the fetter, and the sailors are look
ing for Kitchen as well as the other
mysterious negro.
11 P. M. On leaving the iail. the
party met another jackie, who thought
he could identify the supposed mur
derer, another march on the jail took
place, and the man looked over the
colored prisoners, but failed to iden
tify any of them. Some of the cooler
heads then advised giving the sheriff
a cnance to get JUtcnen. rne party
eventually dispersed at a late hour
without further trouble, although de
termined to avenge the assaults and
indignities from negroes. The latter
are keeping well under cover to-night.

COTTON MARKETS.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
New York, May 25. The outcome
of speculation in to-day's cotton mar
ket was not particularly gratifying to
either longs or shorts, business being
conducted on narrow lines with fluc
tuations limited to a range of 7 points.
After opening dull, with prices bn
changed to . 3 points, the market de
veloped irregularity, the near months
improving several points on light local
covering and some buying for outside
markets, while the distant months
eased off under selling orders. At no
time tnrougnout the session could
trading have been active. Selling was
checked to some extent by reports of
an increased demand for print cloths
in New York at a shade higher prices,
a general improvement m the dry
goods market and further slight gains
in Southern spot cotton markets.
New York, May 25. Cotton dull;
middling 6 7-16c.
Cotton futures closed steady; sales
of 54,800 bales at prices: Mav 6.40c,
