COLORADO VOLUNTEERS.
Ex-Governor Waite to Head a Regi-
ment Which Will Go to Cuba.

DENVER, Dec. 19.-Ex- Governor
Waite has enlisted in the Cuban war,
and will leave for the Gulf Coast with
a well-equipped regiment to be known
as the Colorado Volunteers. The regi-
ment will consist of the cream and
youth of the State, who are eager to
win laurels in these times of peace at
any cost. They go as the friends of
liberty, and will scorn any pecuniary
consideration for their services, but
hope by their prowess in the field to
earn distinction and honor.
An enthusiastic meeting was held
here tonight under a call issued by
Colonel McAndrews, the organizer, and
to the surprise of everybody ex-Gov-
ernor Waite appeared as the chief ora
tor of the occasion. He declared him
self heartily in sympathy with the
cause, and said he would see the project
through to a bloody finish, if it was nee
.essary.
The volunteers will start for Cuba
next Monday week taking an overland
route, 20 that they will reach the gulf
at a minimum of cost, and save their
railroad fares for the glorious cause
of liberty. Each man is equipped with
a Winchester and revolver, and the
army will sustain itself on the march
by holding meetings and trusting to the
patriotism of the people en- route.

MAJOR MCKINLEY.
The President-EIect Receives a Large
Number of Callers.

CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-Major Mckinley
returned from his visit to Evanston
this afternoon, and spent most of the
day at the residence of Captain Nc
Williams.
Marshall Field, Archbishop Ireland
and General Wesley Merritt U. S. A,
commanding the Department of the
Missouri, with his staff, were the chief
callers, none of them remaining long
to talk with the President-elect. Dur
in the afternoon large number of
college students called to pay their re-
spects.
Before the Major left Evanston he
had a conference at the home of his
host, Mr.. Dawes, with Judge w. r.
Day of Canton, whose name is most
frequently mentioned in connection
with the office of Attorney General
In the evening Major Mckinley ac-
cepted an invitation to dine at the home
of Ferd w. Peck. the dinner being
small and informal affair. Mrs. Nc
Kinley remained at the McWilliams
home.
Major and Mrs. Mckinley will at
tend service tomorrow morning at the
Sixth Presbyterian Church. He did
not give much attention to politics dur
ing the day, and it is plainly his desire
to avoid work of that kind as much
as possible during his stay here. Mrs.
Mckinley continues to improve in
health.
There was considerable gossip during
the day concerning Charles G. Dawes
as a Cabinet possibility, but the gen
eral political opinion among Major Nc
Kinley's friends here is that Illinois will
not be represented in the Cabinet.
