Washington, April 21.?The house passed the volunteer army bill this afternoon and it now goes to the pres? ident for signature. He is expected to sign it tomorrow. The lull was designed to cure de? fects in existing law relating to vol? unteer forces, and it is relied upon to put these forces upon a war time footing almost similar to the regular army. Kxcept for the fact that the volun? teer army would be disbanded im? mediately at the elose of hostilities which led to its organization, there would bo little dllfertncc between it and the regular standing army. The volunteer army under the terms of the bill Is lc be raised while ?/ar is existing, or "while war is im? mun nt," but only after congress hSi Ki\e,, the president authority. The president would call fOF Volunteers i?y proclamation and make the nec? essary regulations lor receiving them Into service, Enlistment would be apportioned among the states accord i?u: to population The pri sident appoints the olUcersi Instead of the governors of the State. and in- has absolute authority to or gantse brigades and divisions with* out regard to State lines.

MARTIAL LAW DECLARED. \PMIK\L FLETCHER 18 . ABSO? LUTE Hl LEU AT VERA GRUB. Change Will Probably Dring More Mexican OAotuls Hack to Their Posts to Assist in Restoring Fune tioiis Of Government, Americans Are Believed to Be sut'e. Vera Cruz, April 20.?Vera Cruz to nlght is under martial law. Hear Ad Imlral Prank F. Flcteher, commanding I the American naval forces on shore, today kaeued a proclamation to this ef? fect, and the last opportunity Mexi? cans had for handling their own af? fairs In Voru Cruz under their own laws disappeared. Admiral Fletcher and his staff de? termined there should be no more quibbling With the Mexican officials regarding form of government, and until further notice residents of this port will live and be judged by mili? tary law. The word has gone forth that disorders and unrulincss in any form will receive severe punishment. This proclamation makes Admiral Fletcher absolute ruler ashore. It is believed martial law will open the way for more of the city and federal em? ployes to return and cooperate in restoring the local government's func? tions. Mexicans point out that these men now will be in a position to ex? plain to their friends and the existing government at the capital that under martial law they felt obliged to re? turn to their work. An order that all arms be turned in by residents by noon today brought to the headquarters of the provost marshall bushels of small arms und stacks of rillcs. The city was quiet last night and if there was a sniper in action the fact was not reported to division head? quarters. Mam Mexican officials have report? ed their willingness to resume their duties of olllce under the supervision of the Americans. The American otli cials named to date to assist in the supervision of the munic ipal govern? ment arc: Commander H. O. Stickncy of the Prairie, captain of the port; Fleet Surgeon T. XV. Spratlin, sanitary in? spector; Commander D. F. Sellers ol the Arkansas, provost marshal; Com? mander John M. Luby of the South Carolina, director of the postollici Roheit Dias, mayor of Vera Cruz, has agreed to resume his office, and it hai been arranged that public schooh shall be reopened tome row. The efforts of Rear Admiral Fletch? er, supplemented by those of the Birt kah commander. Hear Admiral Sir Christopher Craddock, and the Frenc h and German consuls and private citi? zens to bling about the departure from the interior of all foreigners who wish to leave are being continued energetically, but the hope of getting out more than a small part of those left is diminishing hourly. Federal Gen, Maas has established his headquarters at Boledad, n? miles from Vera Cruz, and h's men arc tearing up tho railroad tracks. The gap between Tejcra. the water sup? ply stution, which is guarded by the Americans, and Soleclad, has grown, and it is now no simple task for refugees to get themselves and their belongings across the open space. Sir Christopher Craddock, through Sir Lionel Calden, who has rcsu ied charge of tho British embassy at tho capital, is urging President HueCa to peimit the departure <>f all foreigners front Mexico City. It is eonsidered possible that one or two more trains at least will be permitted to pass through. But there appears a fa'1* ? h?m o that those who have fallen un? der the displeasure of Huerta and art In the custody of his forces will be held. Miss Aletliea M.
