Every Facility Afforded Foreign Naval and aillltnry Attache * . ' WASHINGTON'May 4. The staffs'Of the various embassies and legations at Wash ington are being rapidly ' recruited'by mili tary and naval officers , who bavo been as signed to make observations of the"military and naval operations In the present war with Spain. Lieutenant J. Rodle of the Austrian imperial navy arrived here today and after securing authorization from the naval authorities ho will go forward to Inspect the operations of the United Statea Hoot in Cuban waters. Captain Lee of the British royal artillery and 'formerly sta tioned at Halifax , arrived three days ago and , after securing credentials from the au thorities here , proceeded to Chlckamauga and thence to Tampa , Fla. He. Is an ex pert on explosives. Major do Grandprcy , the military attache of the French embassy , will start for Cuba as soon as a military 'move ment of any proportion Is begun there. Count \on Goetzen , former military attache of the German embassy , has been ordered to return here and he , too , will proceed to Cuba. He left here about two months ago , after his marriage to Mrs. Lay of Baltimore , to join his regiment at Berlin , which Is a part of the Imperial Guard near Emperor William. The War and Navy de partments are desirous of affording every facility to the foreign military aud naval attaches and they have been furnished cre dentials which will aid' them In observing war operations. Captain Lee , the * British officer , will go forward with the first military expedition , oven. If this be of a preliminary character. Count von Goetzen , the German , and Major de Grandprey , the French attache , will not accompany this first movement , the former not being likely to arrive In time , while the latter will wait until a more general movement occurs. Lieutenant Rodlc , the Austrian attache , probably will go on board ono of the American ships now off Havana. His observations , being of a naval character , will bo rather more general than those of the military observers , as It will take In not only the operations In Cuba , but also those of the flying squadron and other forces along the north Atlantic coast. These military and naval experts are united In giving Commodore Dewey the highest tribute for" his recent fearless en trance of Manila harbor ando fearless attack on the Spanish fleet. When It was suggested today to ono of them that Borne of the foreign press comments were dis paraging , ho promptly answered that this in no way reflected foreign military and naval views. , Commodore Dewoy's achieve ment , he said , was beyond criticism and In time would rank him with Farragut and other American naval heroes. A loading ambassador , on hearing this re mark , added the statement that a statue of Dewey in time would be erected In Wash ington along with those of Farragut. Du- pont and others. The foreign tributes to . Dewey are unmistakably sincere and gen- ulne. The observation of the foreign experts la p now directed toward Commodore Dowoy's : | next move. One of them pointed out today - : day that while Dewey's force of probably 2,500 men was not sufficient for him to OR- cupy the town of Manila , yet it was ample rte to allow him to garrison the two commanding - ing forts of Cavlto and Corregldor. He be- „ lloved the strategic move of Dewey , followIng - Ing the annihilation of the Spanish fleet would bo to silence and then occupy these two forts. About 1.000 men , he said , could bo spared from the ships without crippling them , and with these men at Cavlte and Corregldor. Commodore Dewey practically would hold the city ct Manila and all the of surroundings without the necessity of tak- Ink' the as possession of city Itself , The foreign experts are also much Inter ested In the approaching active movements In Cuba. One of them stated today that from a strategic standpoint he thought It would be unwtie to attempt a military landIng - Ing at any point within the present block ade. The danger of such a landing , he pointed out. WM that railways run along tbo coast of Cuba , connecting Havana with all the points covered by the blockade. These railroads are In the- ' hands of the Spanish , and would permit them to mass 0,000 soldiers at any point threatened with U a landing- . For this reason , he said , the best move would seem to be to take a port remote-from the blockade , such aa Santiago , It would be dlBcult to > aasa Spaalth troops there In time to prevent a landing. Once taken , ho said , the American forces would have a base from which to supply arms and ammunition to the Insurgents. He believed a base from which tb Insurgents could be fully equipped WM of far greater value than one for offensive operations by the American troops. There continues to bo complete silence In all foreign quarters M to any move of intervention. j VOLUNTEERS MAY OO TO MANILA. Ther Wilt Be Taken from the CeMt Btatei. WASHINGTON , May 4. Should it be de cided finally by the president to send troops to assist Commodore Dewey to hold Manila , the War department officials say that the small number of regular soldiers available are ready to move. It Is thought , however , that If troops are sent they will be made up largely from the volunteer forces that already could be concentrated at San Fran cisco from various states west of the Rocky mountains. Such regular troops as might bo available are several companies of tbo Fourteenth in fantry , stationed at Vancouver barracks ( the larger portion of this regiment being In Alaska ) , the Eighth cavalry at Fort Mcade , S. D. ; the Fourth cavalry , part of which Is at Vancouver and part in Califor nia , and the Third artillery , also located on the coast. It Is believed , however , that the officials would bo disinclined to part with the ar tillery , as It may be needed for the defense of the Pacific coast , and they do not think It at all likely cavalry would bo sent , be cause of tbo great expense detailed In the shipment of the horses and the lack of transportation facilities. CO.VnitMS AIIMY APPOINTMENTS. Approves of the New Major General * Without Delay. WASHINGTON , May 4. Thu senate in ex- ccutive session today confirmed all the nom inations of major generals which had been sent in earlier in the day by the president. I In the case of Senator Sewell the conflrmaI I tlon was Immediate , the senate following Its usual custom of acting upon the nomination of a fellow member without any reference to committee. The- other names were referred to the I committee on military affairs and were al most Immediately afterward favorably re ported , the committee's vote being taken In the senate chamber. Confirmation followed In all cases without comment except in that of General Wilson. Senators Bacon and Lindsay took occasion to speak of him In complimentary terms , Senator Bacon relating that during the war of the rebellion he had been captured by General Wilson , who was at that time an officer In the federal army , while Mr. Bacon was n confederate. Ho said ho was there fore able to speak from experience when he testified to General Wilson's capacity as a soldier and his character as a man. COPl'INGKR. SAYS HE IS PLEASED.

' All the officers present , at , headquarters shook hands wlth-jthei general ud congratulated * lated htm. Major Pond carried the news to the promoted colonels and when It was re ceived cheers were loud and frequent. Half an hour later the band of'the Nineteenth - : teonth drew up In front of Snydcr's tent : and serenaded him. He made a little speech to the boys , thanking them for the compli ment and their manifestation of good will. The Third regiment was paid today.

The Alert will re turn to Santiago de Cuba with the Pallas , nor at Port Antonio. Tbe colonial authorities are reticent aa to the contents of the dispatches and their reasons for the movements of the war ships , bu the story told the Associated Press cor respondent at the Jamaica club today was that the British consul , Mr. Ramon , had been > attacked in the consulate by a mob , whereupon he fired on the crowd , killing a Spaniard , and has been imprisoned. These statements are not verified. Mr. Ramon Is a partner in the firm of Brooks Bros. , and Is regarded as a man of vigorous and even violent character. Later 1 In the day It was reported that the trouble at Santiago de Cuba has been set tled. The British war ship Pearl has ar rived at Port Royal , and , though its officers nn reticent , It is believed that the trouble gclu ( not so serious as reported at the Jamaica club.

It Is expected that the extraordinary expenditures for the army and navy on account of the war for the first six months of the coming fiscal year will make the general deficiency bill , still held in the bouse committee on appropria tions reach an aggregate of about $120,000- 000. This is the rough-calculation of Chair man Cannon , one of the house committee , and others of that committee , assuming that those expenditures would be provided for in a single deficiency bill instead of earlier separate bills. gTho amount Is dependent upon tbe prosecution of the war.
