Order Out 12 000 000 If He Wants To Under the Resolution Pending
Washington April 15 the question of how many militia from the states will be called for active duty hinges on the Senate resolution. Officials say 50 000 militiamen may be called as the regular army concentrates at a southern point. Some believe the order could come within hours if Congress acts to approve intervention. Secretary Alger suggested a 50 000 volunteer call within 4 1 2 hours if directed, while Meiklejohn cautions no vessel purchases for such use. The administration aims to move swiftly but without signaling actual hostilities. The army chief General Miles notes the president would have authority to call militia up to about 12 000 000 men under the resolution. The fleet would also be mobilized as needed and several warships are named for coast defense duties.

Cuban War Plans and American Reinforcement Strategy
A historical article outlines a plan to seize Cuba from Spain by landing 15,000 to 20,000 American troops allied with Cuban revolutionaries. It estimates Spanish forces at 125,000–150,000 and Cuban rebels at 40,000–60,000, with Gomez claiming 100,000 could be mobilized if supplied. Officials project 80,000–100,000 Cuban troops could be raised locally to join 15,000–20,000 Americans to eject Spanish forces quickly, noting Spanish troops are largely young, undisciplined, and limited in seasoned manpower.
