President May Issue Another Call for Volunteers—Spanish Fleet Sails for th* Philippines. Washington, June 18.—-AJ confers ence was held at the White House to day between the president, Secretaries Long snd Alger, General Miles and other officers of the army end navy. Daring the conference General Miles convinced President McKinley end Secretary Alger that haste was needed in lending reinforcement* to the troop* under General Shafter at San. tiago. The secretary of war made a request of Secretary Long for the use of the Yale and Harvard for sending over other troops and th* requst was gran ted. It is thought th* St. Paul and St. Louis may also x be used for the same purpose. / Gensrsl Miles is satisfisd that 20,000 Spanish troops will he mobilized in th* vicinity of Ssntiago, and be is deter* mined to give General Shafter a suffi cient number to cope with the enemy. Calculations mads at ths war depart ment predict tho landing of the Santi ago expedition on Sunday or Monday. Three or fourday* will be given the troops in which to rest before active operations are begun. Should the Spanish appear in force, however,'bat lie will be given at voce. It has been suggested that owing do the heavy demands for troops, far ex ceeding the number originally believed to be sufficient, there will be occasion to issue another call for volunteers. The state department has received the following dispatch from its agent al Gibraltar: “Carlos V, Pelayo, Rapido, Patricia, Andas, Osado, Proserpina, Giralda, Pe lajo,Colon with the minister en board, Alfonso XII, Canadonna, Antonio Lopez, I*l* Panos, Buenos Ayres and Ban Fraueiaco fait Cadiz yestbrday. First eleven passed th* Rock bound for Carthagena for orders. Tbe last three have troops on board.” This is Admiral Camera’* Cadiz squadron and appear* to be in tbe Mediterranean bound for African shores. The war department expect* to util ise approximately thirty-five trans ports in the expedition for the invas ion of Porto Rico. This statement was made officially at th* department. It seems to indicate that tbe Porto Rico army will equal if not exceed in number that which left for Santiago. The estimate is made that thirty-five vessels will carry between 15,000 and 20,000 men with their equipmentsand subsistence. Lawton May Be a Brigadier. A special from Chickamauga to the Constitution says: It is believed here that Col. A. R. Lawton, of the First Georgia regiment will be made a brigadier general. It is almost certain that be will be placed in command of the brigade in which be will be assigned. / Tbs Georgia regiment will go in tho First brigade of tbe Second division of tbe First army corps. Tbe brigade is made up of Indiana and Michigan troops. It is at present commanded by Col. Gardner. The Second division is commanded by Gen. Poland, and the First corp* by Gen. Brooke. Col. Lawton out ranks Co). Gardner, and it is expected that he will be placed in command, being the ranking colonel of the brig ade. If he be given command of the brig ade, it will be only a question of time before he is made a brigadier general. Tbs location of the camp of the Georgians is pne of tbe best in ths park. It is nearly four miles from Lytle, where tbe trouble is occurring, and is consequently four miles from Gen. Brooke’s headquarters.
