Were Given a Fair Chauco-Thc New

LNN .HHH#
Rogimcnt.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, May 20
Since the beginning OF the Spanish
American war the attitude OF many
persons toward the governor has been
unjust and unklnd. 1t has been the pur-
pose OF some to falslfy his actions, and
attempt to show that he has been ruled
by political prejudice. but his appoint
ments under the second call have put
to flight their stories, and has raised
him In the estimation OF the people. In
the first place, Governor Atkinson gave
the members OF the National Guard
preference to enter, the field. and called
them as a body. They were asked 70
enlist, but as there were no places Tor
some they werelasked to retire to lower
ranks and enlist. They were told that
there were plenty OF chances to rise In
case the war continues and that var Is
not play. 1t Is said that many who fill
ed superior offices were unfit to occupy
those positions.
The Second regiment will be compos-
ed OF men who have had military eA-
perience, but not necessarily taken
from the Guard, although a number OF
officers have served with credit in this
organization. The second volunteer
regiment will be made mp indepen(nt
OF the Guard, yet oil who desire can
Join as privates. The Guard had pre-
cedence on the first call, but not one
half OF the number took advantage of
the opportunity. They complained OF Ill
treatment and that they could not have
certain offices and therefore would not
serve.
The state Guard has had It's chance
and now other responsible and worthy:
men are coming to the front. However,
inForder to get educated men In rs otff
GERS, a number from the Guard have
been selected. but In choosing them the
governor refuses to recognize the
Guard as q body. The men who have
been taken from the ranks Of the Guard
are selected on account OF their fitness
and undoubtedly will prove efficient Of
ficers.
AS a call for more troops has been
made, Governor Atkinson to-day wired
Senator Elkins, insisting that West
Virginia be represented by another reg
iment and asking that the latter secure
a promise from the President to pro-
vtda for this ctntn. Tin to . lrtn tc'--.a

Mrs. Lou Gardner to-day received

NEW ORLEANS, La, April 23.-Dear
Mother: l suppose you are a little
surprised to learn that we are at New
Orleans. We arrived here Thursday
night and I suppose we r booked to
go to Cuba. Two ships are here ready
to take troops from this place.
A Spanish ship was about to leave
here the 21st inst. with supplies for
the Spanish army when they were
made to unload and hoist the Ameri-
can flag before sailing.
News came here yesterday evening
that a Spanish vessel had been cap
tured by an American cruiser after
one shot-the first of the war-had
been fired. 1 guess it is a sure case of
war and it is only a matter of a few
days when the slaughter will begin.

to do any fighting, and now I am per-

other place if it is required by the
Government.
We we're cheered all along the route
from Ell Paso by the patriotic people.
The band played in several places on
the road, and in some places the peo-
pie streamed through the cars and
fairly took possession of us.
Soldiers are very popular now.
Thousands of people were here in
camp yesterday and some stayed until
after dark. They commenced coming
this morning before we had breakfast.
The crowd Is swelling in numbers and
I think that by 4 O'Clock this afternoon
there will be yer $4,000 people here
to g the soldiers, who are expecting
soon to sail for Cuba. I will be dis
charged next fall, but If we are in
Cuba 1 may re-enlist to stay till the
war is over.
