X A statement by the London Daily Mail
that "the Jews and Catholics sympathize
with Spain" is warmly resented by intelli-
gent Jews In this city. They regard it as
a reflection on the loyalty of American
Jews. and do not believe it is true of those
in England. The Jews have no reason to
love Spain, and they have very strong
reasons for loving the only country where
they have ever enjoyed perfect religious lib
erty and freedom from persecution. 1t is a
matter of common notoriety that the Jews
in the United States have given conspicuous
evidence of their loyalty in the present con-
test. both by solemn religious exercises and
by proffers of military service

M'KEEs APPOINTMENT.
1t Begins to Look Somewhat Doubtful
Just Now.

Notwithstanding the almost positive as
surances that come from Washington that
General Mckee is to be appointed by the
President to command the Indiana Brigade,
there is still some doubt about it, A tele-
gram was received at the Governors office
yesterday from reliable source which stat
ed that it was settled that no brigadier gen
erals would be appointed from civil life
The interpretation of this message is in
question.
A message was sent to Senator Fair
banks in which he was urged to con-
tinue his efforts to secure the appointment
of General Mckee Senator Fairbanks an
swered with the statement that he still felt
confident that Mckee would be appointed,
believing that he would be one of the first
TO be nominated.
A member of the Governors staff said in
regard to the situation: II do not believe
that General Mckee is personally extremely
popular with the members of the Indiana
National Guard. He is a thorough disciplin-
arian and carries his ideas to civil life He
is g good soldier and the men know il. But
there is great respect felt for him and
the men are unquestionably loyal to him as
their commander [ believe that if ii should
become known at Camp Mount that another
had been appointed in his place. no matter
how popular man the successor might be
Will the SOiultTS, there NOulu ne a gen.
eral withdrawal and the mastering officers
of the United States would not get 10 per
cent. of the Indiana National Guard to en-
list"
The men about war headquarters in the
Statehouse take it as slap at the State
that there should be any doubt whatever
about General McKee's appointment. 1t
is claimed that he is entitled to the COM
mand of the Indiana Brigade and that to
appoint another would be a direct insult to
every citizen Of the State. II is feared that
the gegular-army influence Is being felt at
Washington. There is always a strong feel
ing against militiamen on the part of the
regular officers and now that a time has
come to use their influence against the mi
litia officers ii is feared that IL will be ex-
fear that the delay in nominating the com
manders of state brigades is in order that
the men may be recruited and will then
be unable to withdraw from the service in

Another feature which added to the COM

ARMY ORGANIZATION.

1t is unfortunate that it was not discov-
cred earlier that the National Guard could
not be mustered into the service as an en-
tirety. 1t is surprising that with the Hull
law at hand there should be any such mis-
apprehensions as now exist. Those who
have any idea of army organization for
the field must have known that it would
be impossible to attach 10 a brigade which
is to be part of division, or corps, a

necessary in the independent organization

as its defenders and puts them in charge
of the military forces. This service is what
they are intended for. 1t is no disparage-
melt of the ability or patriotism of officers
Of State militia to say that the regular army
men should be considered first. In the ma
ture of things their education and constant
training must have given them certain quail
titles superior to those of men who are
soldiers in such leisure as they can spare
from their daily vocations. Officers of mi
litia will do good service; they are needed.
and there will be room. no doubt, for all
who are fitted for service but there should
be cheerful recognition of the fact that it
is but giving the regular army men their

The Maine was destroyed by external
agencies acting with the cooperation of in
ternal causes set in motion by those on the
outside. 1t begins to look as if the Ameri-
can people were to have their revenge in
witnessing the destruction of the Spanish
dynasty on exactly the same principle. The
American aggressiveness constituted the
external cause, and the wild dissatisfaction
at home as a result of the first crushing
defeat constitutes the terrible magazine

turesque retribution.
