LEEDY MAKES A START.
The Governor Names a Chaplain for
the 2Srd Kansas.

Governor Leedy last night wired Sec
retary Alger asking permission to raise
two regiments of volunteers. He sta
ted in his telegram that Kansas stood
ready to supply many more volunteers
than the quota under the second call
would allow.
The first appointment in the Twenty
third regiment was made by him short
ly after his arrival in this city last
night. Rev. NJ. G. Long, Of the Third
Presbyterian church in this city, was
named as chaplain of the regiment
Mr.. Long made an effort to secure q
position as chaplain of one of the first
three Kansas regiments, but was un-
successful. Governor Leedy promised
him that in the event of a second call
he would be given the first appointment
and last night he kept his promise.
If two regiments are raised, Father
Then rector of the Catholic church at
Wichita, will be appointed chaplain OF
the TMenty-fourth Kansas regiment.

SAMPSON EXPLAINS.
Tells How He Happened to Bonn
bard San Juan.

Washington, May 27.-The following
bulletin was posted at the NAVY de-
partment today: The following is a
copy of a report made by Rear Admiral
Sampson, concerning the action of San
Juan de Porto Rico: Upon approach
ing San Juan, it was seen that none
of the Spanish vessels were in the har-
Dor. 1 was therefore considerably in
doubt whether they had reached San
Juan and again departed for some un-
known destination or whether they had
not arrived As their capture was the
object of the expedition and as it was
essential that they should not pass
to the westward, I determined to at
tack the batteries, in order to deyelop
their positions and strength and then
without waiting to reduce the city or
subject it to the regular bombardment,
which would require notice-turn to the
westward
Il commenced the attack as soon as
1t was good daylight. This lasted about
three hours when the signal was made to
discontinue the firing and the squadron
stood to the northeast until out of sight
oI san Juan, when the course was made
10 the westward with the view of COM
municating with the department at
Fort Plata and learning if the depart
ment had obtained information as to
the movements of the Spanish vessels.
AT Cape Haytien; I received word
from the department that the Spanish
vessels had been sighted off Curacao on
'lle 1oth instant. AS stated in my tele
gram no serious injury was done to any
oa the ships and only one man was
SaAeo and seven wounded slightly"
