Baker Springs.
.t......

For the past sixty years these famous White Sui
phur Springs have been noted for their heath-giyng
properties and for many years previous to the civil
war and long before any portion Of South Arkansas was
crossed or touched by an iron rail- many Of the best
citizens Of the southern portion Of the State were ac
customed as the hot summer months drew on, TO load
their wagons with outfits and in carriages and ambu-
lances and on horse back TO take themselves and am-
lies for $50 miles through the valleys and across the
hills, to spend the heated term where they could par
take Of the excellent waters Of Baker Springs Ira
dlton tells US that long before the foot Of the white
man had ever rested upon the foot hills Of the Ozark
mountains, the Indians knew Of and were accustomed
to visit these Springs which were counted the gift Of
the Great Spirit, to restore to health the weak and
sickly among their tribes

WHAT THEY ARE.

These Springs furnish an abundant supply Of as
fine White Sulphur Water as the world affords, pro-
nounced by those who have visited and partaken Of
boh to be almost identical with the iar-amed White
Sulphur Springs Of Virginia and by many the water is
said to be superior to the Virginia White Sulphur
Springs.
David Dale Owen, GeoIogist Of national repu-
taton, and who was appointed State Geoogist Of the
State Of Arkansas by Gov Elias N. Conway in April
1857 after giving qualitative analysis Of this water
showing it to contain Carbonate Of Soda Chloride Of
Sodium, free Suphuretted Hydrogen and Sulphates Of
Soda and Magnesia, adds: Its medicinal properties
are mild laxative, diureic antiscorbutc, slightly al
teratve, and strongly antacid And the universal
verdict Of hundreds Of visitors who have drunk Of these
waters confirms and adds to the testimony Of Dr..

A Coaling Call.

A story, for the veracity of which
l cannot vouch, says THE Moralist"
of the Straits Times, but which may
be worth re.telling, is related in con-
nection with our late visitors the
Russian cruisers Navarin and Sissot
Veliky. A well-known official resi-
dent Of Singapore, whose name is
no matter-made a private visit to
one of the cruisers. On reaching
the deck he was accosted by burly
Russian petty officer, who demanded
in broken English, "Vat you want,
sirp "Oh, l have just come to
make a CALL" replied the other.
"Coal" repeated the Russian with a
self-satisfed smile. "Ve want no
coal. We got all zer coal We want at
Penang. So, bon jour, Monsieur,
and be tanned to your coal" So
saying, he walked away, leaving the
mystifed official in a state Of be-
wilderment. 1t is said that it took
the gentleman the rest of the day
to find out the cause Of the Rus
slams mistake.

Why We Do TIP

We run a paper for two things;
Q) as a charity organization (2) Tor
the good OF our health. Between
whiles we try to earn something to
eat. What goes into newspaper
can be almost all classified absolute
ly under two heads: (1) news, ~
advertisements. Some OF the items
printed are a little OF both. This
conjuring trick is neither. AS a
news item we inform Hongkong
that somebody, whom we don't
know, says he is coming here to
give conjuring performances; and
that the Indian papers praise him.
But we go no further than that
For payment at the regular rate we
would put in the advertising col
umns whatever puffs he might wish.
But news is news, and business is
business. AS a matter of news, the
puffs he sends us are valueless, for
most newspapers at times strain
their imagination horribly about
entertainments; we only know one
in the East that doesn't. So we will
believe in the excellence OF the show
when we see it; we will puff it when
he pays; and we will not offer our
readers any recommendation as
from ourselves, until we can do SO
honestly lof our own knowledge

TOPEKA, Kan, April Ex-Governor Leedy took action to-day which practi- cally disarms the State National Guard, and there is every indication that Kan sas will have no troops ready for ser vice outside of the State for several weeks, possibly month. It is clearly the purpose of the State administration to turn down" the State militia, and the three regiments from Kansas must be made up largely from raw recruits.
 Goevrnor Leedy received a message rom the War Department authorizing him to organize the State troops to suit himself, though advising him that the department preferred the enlist ment of the National Guards. He also secured permission to mobilize his re- cruitS in Topeka instead of at the Gov ernment barracks at Fort Leavenworth as the War Department had ordered.
 Immediately upon securing this au- thorization, the Governor telegraphed to the captain of every Kansas militia organization directing that all army clothing and all equipage belonging to the State or Federal Government be forwarded at once to the adjutant-gen- eral in Topeka. This step in effect dis arms the militia and has raised storm throughout Kansas. Following this action the Governor named five recruit
 
 gressional districts, and these officers will enroll the Kansas volunteers. Gov ernor Leedy orders that after the com panleS are recruited they shall select their own company officers.
 TOPEKA, kans., April 27.-The Gov ernor's orders directing the militiamen to deliver their uniforms, guns and all other equipment to the adjutant-gen- eral has caused open revolt in some of the National Guard organizations. Word came from Wichita that the equipment of the company there would be held for hall rent and other ex- penses- incurred in keeping up the com pany, and there Is talk of assembling the Second Regiment at Emporia to- morrow, despite the Governors Norder.
 At Hutchinson tonight Governor Leedy was hanged in effigy by the an- gry militiamen. When the Governor was informed of this affair he said: If the boys will keep their shirts on they will find that I will treat them right"
 The Governors Populist supporters insist that it is his intention to enlist as many of the privates of the National Guard as are eligible under the War Departments requirements.
 BALTIMORE, April 27.-The Fourth Regiment, Maryland National Guard, has broken camp at Pimlico and re- turned to the armory in this city. It Is reported they have rebelled because of dissatisfaction at not having beeen assigned to active service by General Winner, the Fifth being assigned to that honor

aIter the conference, said he thought it wise when in this city, to hear what the leading fnanciers might have to say concerning the present condition of things and the outlook. He was also desirous of getting their views on the nnancial measure now before Con- gress.
 All the gentlemen present at the conference," continued MT. Gage. "ex- pressed kindly interest in the popular features of the contemplated masures and so far as was necessary and proper. offered their cooperation in making the bond issue popular loan."
 The Secretary said he was not In favor of raising any issue at the pres ent time calculated to cause discontent among those holding opposite political views. The bills pending should be adopted on their merits.
 The money stringency was inciden- tally discussed. according to MT. Gage and nothing definite was decided on in the matter of placing our bonds in the European markets. It was admitted by MT. Gage that some of the financiers thought the rate of interest on the new bonds ought not to be less than 3l5 per cent, but most he said, were satisfied II. were favorable in MT. Cages opinion for S200. 0.000 coo issue and there was little likelihood that the amount would exceed that sum. The Secretary re- turned to Washington on the midnight train.
 WASHINGTON, April 27.-There was some discussion to-day in the Senate Committee on Postoffices and Postroads of the bill introduced by Senator Chandler to provide for popular loan through postal savings banks, and the suggestion was made that it might fur nish more acceptable means of rais- ing funds for the war than the bond clause of the House revenue bill
 The measure provides for the issu- ance of postal savings notes of $50 and sl00, payable to bearer and bearing 3 per cent interest. A subcommittee was appointed for the consideration of the details of the bill. It was notice able that all the members of the Post office Committee present, including Re- publicans as we'll as members of other parties, expressed desire to avoid a bond issue If possible.
 The postal savings bill was also un- der consideration and the opinion was expressed that the committee would be able to report upon this measure after one or more meetings.

Monitor Terror Captures and Brings to Port a
 Small Steamship.
Naval Officials Fear All Vessels Taken Heretofore May Have to Be Returned to Their
 Owners.

came over this morning to take coal, gave rise to the report that the Bolivar was the Detroit's prize.
 The silver specie the little coaster had was destined for the payment of some of Spain's long-suffering soldiers and unpaid troops. The fact that the Bolivar is a Spanish vessel and had not loaded in any American port makes her a legitimate prize of war, even in the light of the Presidents proclamation, the purport of which Is made public in local papers here to-day.
 The proclamation exempting from capture vessels sailing from foreign ports prior to April 21 and those sail ing from domestic ports prior to May 21 is variously interpreted here. The consensus of opinion, however, Is that it means that we must return to their owners most, if not all of the steam ships taken by our navy as prizes of war since the fleet sailed from here last Friday, beginning with the Buena Ven tura and ending with the Panama, so gallantly taken by the game little Mangrove. Naval officers express the hope, however, that in the case of the Panama, at least, the fact that she was loaded with provisions for Havana and was actually an armed vessel carrying two fourteen-po -pounders, will place her legally in the category of contraband of war.

 KEY WEST. April 27.-The only war like incident that has rippled the GUS tomary calm of Key West to-day was the arrival this morning of the little Cuban coast steamer Ambrosio Bolivar, in charge of a small prize crew from the monitor Terror. The boat itself is insignificant. Her appearance is that of a broken-down tug-boat sorely in need of fresh paint. Slowed away in this disreputab choking craft, her cap tors have found more than S60.000 in Spanish silver, to say nothing of sup plementary cargo of bananas and a few passengers.
 The Bolivar was coasting along, hug ging the shore a few miles off Car denas, when the Terror sighted her and soon overhauled her. Two of the Boli- vars officers were held to assist in run ming her to Key West, and others aboard were put ashore in small boats and permitted to go their way.
 The Bolivar is the Terror's prize ex- clusively. She came into Key West without other escort than a small prize crew put aboard her by the monitor Her advent shortly after the arrival of the cruiser Detroit, however, which

Commander of the Spanish Squadron at the Philippines
 More Brave Than Wise.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON, April 2S.-The Madrid cor respondent of the Daily Mail, tele- graphing Wednesday, says: It is thought possible in some quarters that Admiral Montijo, commander of the Spanish squadron at the Philippines who has reputation for reckless bravery and determination. but does not shine ass a tactician, may put to sea and take the offensive The pub lie is elated by the Montserrat's suc- cess, which is regarded as furnishing proof of the ineffectiveness of the blockade of Cuba.
 Senor Romero Robledo declared ir the Cortes to-day that Spain ought tc make up her mind to struggle alone since no one would support her. He said he believed the present situation was the result of repeated acts oi weakness on the part of Spain toward America and that he considered as wholly useless the autonomy project for Cuba. On the other hand. he thought Spain ought to do everyth;na possible to revivify and strengthen the integrity of the empire and to main tain the sovereignty of the mother country in Cuba
 Admiral Beranger, former Minister o1 Marine, is of the opinion that it would be exceedingly profitable to Spain to duopt pIINdteerlng. The Senate to-day delivered to the Queen Regent its re- ply to the speech from the throne. The members of the Government were present.
 MADRID. April 27.-It Is difficult t. describe the state of the public min6 to-day without being paradoxical Every one believes that the Spanish American fleets in the far East may have engaged or are just on the eve ol engaging in the first battle of the war The foundation for this belief is tele. gram from Rear Admiral Montijo commentaries general at Manila, to the Minister of Marine late last night which says: T am leaving with z squadron to take a position of expecta. ton for the enemy" The people, con seeuently, are possessed by feeling o disquiet and confidence. Disquietude i: shown in the eagerness with which al details and strengths of the respectiv. squadrons are discussed and the con fidence by the Knowledge that the Spanish forces will move heaven ar6 earth to win a victory The Heraldc bulletin board in Calle Sevilla is be sieged by a constantly increasing crowd awaiting news with impatience
