New York. Feb. S.-The stock market
succumbed to the Cuban scare today in
spite of London's indifference to the fears
reflected by the New York exchange of a
rupture between the United States and
Spain. The strength of American securi-
! ties in London was partly accounted Tor
! by the progress of the settlement of ac-
counts on the exchange Prices We're bid
up there sharply before the opening here
and a sympathetic rise IN Internat-iais
resulted at the opening. Not only was
[ this the case, but when heaVineSs devel-
Oped here, London was liberal buyer

The chlckamauga Camp.

The Capitals correspondent, writing
from Camp Thomas, at Chickamauga,
tells Of an interview with General Brooke
which Is illustrative Of the fact that army
officers are telling nothing about the fu-
ture movements Of the troops and that
correspondents who pretend to know all
about military plans really know moth
ing. The camp now includes about 10000
men. It seems like mighty army, but
in view of the fact that over 10000 were
engaged in the Chickamauga fight on the
same spot thirty-fve years ago 1t does
not seem so large.

Tarpet Practice az cabanas.

The bombardment reported at Cabanas
was really little more than target prac-
tlce. Rear Admiral Sampson, with his
flagship, the New York, has just finished
an inspection Of the blOckaded coast,
when at about o'clock firing from small
arms was noted at Cabanas. 1t appeared
as IL a dismounted cavalry troop was
firing volleys at the warship at three
miles distance. The New York opened
fire, firing in all not more than half
dozen shots. This was sufficient to stop
the Spanish cavalry attack on a warship.
The shots were fired in the evening, the
incident occurring while the band was
playing for the evening neal

Spanish Instructions.

Reports from Madrid last week indi-
Gated that instructions were breaking
out which threatened the life Of the gov
ernment. Pillage being threatened, a
state of seize was declared at GijOn
Martial law was declared throughout the
whole province of Valencia to prevent
further disturbances. At Talavera riot
ers attacked the railway station, burned
cars and set fire to several cars and a
cafe. An effort to break into prisons and
release cOnvicts was prevented. The
miners about Oviedo have struck, and
disorder Is anticipated. Much Of the
trouble is due to the high price Of pro-
visions and opposition to tax measures,
as we'll as dissatisfaction with war ar
Iangements.

Leedy tIelps shlvering Soldiers.

When the late arrivals of Kansas vol
unteers were shivering In their tents
at Camp Leedy last Wednesday night
Governor Leedy was rustling clothing
for them to increase their comfort. He
got a hack, went to the State house,
loaded It with army overcoats and took
them down to the camp for the soldier
boys. The States supply of army
blankets had been exhausted, the govern
ment had not furnished any and the boys
had neglected to comply with the request
to provide for themselves. The next best
thing obtainable was an army Overcoat,
and the Governor was given hearty wei
come when his mission became known.
He remained at the camp until after mid
night and took such interest in the men
that 1t was rumored that he was getting
accustomed to camp life with view to
becoming colonel. In reply to inquiries
he observed that he had the last guess
at that himself,

L.eedy Stays Up All Night.

The supply of blankets at Camp Leedy
was 80 short last week that many of the
boys were sure to be uncomfortable all
night, On one Of the damp, rainy after
Moons Governor Leedy had a Topeka
house telegraph to Kansas City for 1900
blankets. When they arrived late at
night the Governor was there with two
express wagons to haul them to the
camp at once. Here he put in the whole
night seeing that everybody was made
comfortable. He said that he could not
sleep himself with the thought that some
of the boys were cold and chilly so he
staid up and looked after them. He paid
for the blankets himself but will be reim-
bursed either by the State or government.

Santiago de Cuba In Bad Shape.

An Associated Press dispatch from San
tiago de Cuba, dated April 27, tells Of a
terrible condition in that division Of
Cuba. The Spanish cOmmandant gave
orders four days previous that men be-
tween Is and so years old must enlist
that night or be put to death. All large
stocks of supplies were seized, and none
but small dealers had anything to sell.
They were doubling prices every day. AS
an example, bread was selling at 81 per
pound Soldiers in the hospital had
nothing to eat but salt fish, and there
were 2,40O of them. The troops are
poorly disciplined and the officers have
little control Of them. Finances are in
bad shape, the notes of the government
bank at Havana being worth but to 5
cents on the dollar.

gress alleged to have been organized to

Stars and Stripes in Cuba.

A Washington dispatch to the Chicago
Chronicle says that the American flag
will soon be raised over Cuba and that
the insurgents will fight under it until
the Spaniards are expelled, when they
will organize their own government. This
action will be preceded by proclama-
tiOn from the Cuban junta urging the in
surgents to put themselves under the
stars and stripes and to have confidence
in the fair intentions of this country.
This is interpreted to mean that the flag
will soon wave over the insurgent pOr-
tiOn Of Cuba and that General Miles will
land an army, which will cooperate with
Cubans, and that the Spaniards will have
to go.

Spain Slugs SpecuIators.

Madrid, May THE bill introduced in
the cortes to prohibit the expectation Of
corn, flour, rye, maize, potatoes and
fruits and suppressing the duty on the
importation of these articles is intended
to checkmate the spectators, who owing
to the enormous premium on exchange,
now Ill per cent, commenced immense
importations of produce, against which
they negotiated bills to foreign markets
These exports have created the scarcity
of food, which is largely responsible for

High Rates for Hauling Troops

The railroads insist on a rate Of cents
per mile for hauling troops. They say
that it Is pure matter Of business, and
that there is no room for the exercise Of
patriotism in it. This may all be true,
but it is a well-known fact that for all
conventions having 100 or more people
in attendance that one rate or ~ cents
per mile is charged. It Is also true that
for theatrical companies and such other
organizations that fat rate of cent
Is made. The troops should certainly be
transported as cheaply as anybody. Even
a preacher gets a half-fare permit.
and politicians are hauled for nothing.
Should the government pay more for the
soldier?

LEEDY SUSTAINED.
The Secretary of War ReVlses ills
Opinion Relative to the
Militia Question.

Washington, April 3O.--(Special to the
Kansas City JOurnal.) AT the outset OF
hOstilities with Spain, when the mOblliza-
ton of American troops was first brought
under discussion, the general impression
prevailed at the War Department that the
volunteers would be called into service
under substantially the same conditions
as those which governed the enlistment
OF men for the civil war. The leading
officials OF the War Department them
selves became responsible for encourag-
ing the belief that the State guards would
be called into service as militia Organiz-
atiOns. The result of this misunder
standing was shown here on Monday,
when the national guard Of the District
of Columbia, after a preliminary inspec-
tiOn OF its able-bodied men and several
days spent in concentrating the force,
marched out OF town with flags flying and
bands playing, to camp on the extensive
grounds of the Soldiers home, and they
were OVertaken by courlers from the War
Department, on the road, and ordered to
return home and disband.
This change of plans originated In the
Judge advocate generals Office, where the
constitutional as well as the tactical
questions involved were carefully con-
sldered Representations were made to
Secretary Alger that the Federal govern
ment could not call out the militia for
foreign service under the constitution
Secretary Alger replied that the militia
had agreed to waive the constitutional
restrictions and could be relied upon to
respond to the call for service in Cuba
or wherever required.
This was not questioned, but hypothet-
ical cases were put 10 the Secretary and
to General Miles, which resulted In the
determination to be strictly governed by
the constitution, and to enlist volunteers
on the same general plan as regulars,
organizing them into Federal battaliOns
and regiments and allowing them to re-
tain only their officers as commissioned |
by the Governors of the States.
It Ia not to be inferred that militia or
ganlzatiOns cannot offer themselves as a |
body, IL they can pass the physical mus
ter, but the government reserves the |
right to reject them all, and enlist out
siders in their places. In other words,
each man must enlist as an individual,
and bodies Of organized troops will not
be accepted in their original character
That Is what Is meant by the statement |
that the safest place for those who do |
not desire to enlist Is in the militia.

Internal Spanish Explosion Predicted

Madrid dispatches dated May 4 tell Of
popular uprisings against the govern
ment because Of indignation over the de-
feat of the Spanish feet at Manila. The
republicans find this an excellent time
to protest against the monarchy. It is
equally auspicious for the carrying out
of the designs of Don Carlos, the pre-
tender to the throne. Gen. Weyler finds
in the prevailing dissatisfaction what he
believes to be a good opportunity to bet
ter his condition. These three elements
are giving the government plenty of
trouble. Large crowds assemble in the
streets cheering, and yelling, Down with
the BourbOns," Long live Don Carlos" F"
Long live the republic" and Long live
Weyler." The mob went to Gen. Wey-
