ANXIOUS TO GO TO WAR.
Ten Thousand Georgia Negroes Offer
 Their Services.

Atlanta, Ga, May 11.-Ten thou sand Georgia negroes are anxious to go to the war as independent volun- teers, and under a negro commander. When the presidents call was issued the governor received many applica- tions from negroes who wanted to vol unteer, and when he announced that none could be received into the state troops and advised them to apply to the regular army the leaders of the negro volunteers set about to find some way in which they could obtain the opportunity they sought without mixing with the white people. They have formed plan with which they hope to impress MT. Mckinley favor ably.
 This is to offer him personally the services of 10000 Georgia negroes. provided he will accept them as dis tinct from the regular army or the white Georgia militia They will make an effort to induce ex-Lieutenant Flipper, the negro West Pointer, whose army career his friends believed was cut short because of his color, to assume command of this division, and President Mckinley will be asked to commission him. There are three battalions of Georgia militia com posed of negroes. and since the call they have been recruited to their full strength.

WOULD HAVE INTERVIEWED

A couple of horses hitched to a cat in the rear of a Washington street saloon last evening cast of theil moorings and started around the block just to Timber up their legs. There was crashing of dry goods boxes al the start which woke up everybody in the vicinity and filled them with an impression that the Cape Verde fleet had anchored in Salt River and was firing on the town. The noise even scared the horses, which knew what made it and was not at all apprehen- sive of the Spanish squadron. Their pleasure jaunt developed into a wicked run. A sharp turn was made at tel ephone pole in front of Goodman's drug store The pole caught a wheel. The heavens were filled with bits of flying harness and the horses went forth free and untrammeled. An old man sought to mollify the injured driver by telling him that he could have stepped the team, but he thought they were going to the engine house to drag out the engine and hose carts in response to a fire alarm.

OUR OWN BOYS.
In San Antonio They are the Principal Subject of Interest.

Riverside Park, San Antonio, May 8, Especial correspondence of The Re publican. .)-Today is Sunday and ali of the boys are lying around, writing and resting, and thinking of the band concerts, and drives, and square meals, l and happy, cheerful faces they are missing; of the vacant chair in their own home, and the pleasant evenings no longer to be spent in the home of the neighbor. Active service is di- rectly ahead, and each man is impa- tient for it to begin.
 The troops arrived at San Antonio early Saturday morning, and were side-tracked at Riverside park, about three miles from the heart of the city. There they unloaded and marched, blanket on shoulder, to the Exposition building, a half mile farther Hot coffee was soon in readiness and drunk with relish by the entire troop. Boys who never touched coffee at home are now drinking three cups three times a day, and ask for more. For the first time many are eating baking powder bread baked in Dutch ovens, and they seem to enjoy it.
 Yesterday Saturday. was spent in cleaning up the premises and becoming familiar with the grounds and city. Many were surprised to find a city of 60,000 people, of five and six-story buildings, and immense parks. The streets were thronged with a busy people during business hours, who, however, had time to stop to gaze for a moment upon "Teddy's Terrors," as they passed up and down. It was soon learned that a reputation had preceded the boys, and they found themselves veritable lions in the midst of peaceable people. One person was heard to remark. "Yes, they are char acters. They shoot first and investi- gate afterwards" When the people found them to be a well behaved, in- telligent lot of young fellows

their good will and wishes were enlisted immediately. When met upon the streets or in public places the same hearty wel- come is rendered them. Since the troops are to remain here for a full week yet, a very warm feeling will grow up between them and the people of San Antonio.
 The main point of interest with the two Arizona companies at preseN. is the formation of a third company, from the two already formed. Many of the Phoenix and all of the Tempe boys will go into the new company, to be designated as company c. J. l.. B. Alexander is to be the captain. The first lieutenant is Second Lieut.. Pat terson of Capt. O'Neilps company, who is promoted to the first lieuten- ancy from the second by seniority Of rank. The second lieutenant is a Colorado boy named Savers, appoint ed by the colonel. Arizona now has three companies consisting of sixty five men each, In place of two of one hundred each
 A damper has been placed on the spirit of the Arizona contingent by the sad accident that happened to one of the members late this afternoon. Marshall Bird of Nogales, whiie riding a vicious horse, with neither saddle nor bridle, was thrown head foremost against tree, cracking his skull. Latest advices from the hospital re port him still unconscious. Col. Wood who is a noted physician, is giving him special attention. His case is con- sidered as very serious.
 Thousands of people in their best outfits were at the grounds today to see the cowboy terrors" and incl dentally to see their famous mascot the mountain lion. More interest will be displayed when the men have their horses and uniforms, which in all probability will be distributed Monday The historical Alamo, which is in the business center of San Antonio, is of great interest to the men who are here for the first time. At almost any hour of the day men from the vari- ous companies may be seen inspecting the old building, which is still in an excellent state of preservation.

FEARED IN HAVANA.

Key West, Fla, May 11.-By cable it comes direct from Havana that the people are becoming more and more incensed against Spain every day be- cause she does not send the Cape Verde squadron over here to make an effort to lift the blockade. Captain General Blanco has forwarded mes sages of the most urgent character to Madrid and received only semi satis- factory replies. Havana has been told daily for nearly two weeks that Spain is sending boats to its relief, and up to this time they have believed 1t. But now the inhabitants of the be- 1eagured city are so wrought up that a demonstration at the capital is baips planned.
 It is not true there has been rioting thus far in Havana, as published re- ports stated. On the contrary, the people have been led to believe by frequent and enthusiastic proclama- tions from the police that the United States is afraid to attempt to enter the harbor or to lombard the city, and when Spain's fleet arrives here Ad- miral Sampson's boats will be blown out f the water. But the delay in the arrival of Spain's boats accompa- nied by the receipt of vague news from Manila that Spain did not get all the best of it in her mix-up with Admiral Dewey, is causing trouble.
 Of course Blanco has not let the real truth be known. The price of provisions in Havana continues to go up. Eggs are g a dozen, milk 50 cents a bottle, prime beef $1.75 a pound, butter $2.25 pound, and can- ned meats and vegetables from $1 to $4 a can
 Blanco seized all provisions.

GREAT DEMAND FOR FLAGS.
The War Department Unable to Put
 chase Enough for It's Use.


 Washington, May 1.-The war de- partment is unable to get flags enough for it's use, as there is a scarcity of bunting. There are only two factories in the country, and, although they are working day and night and with largely augmented forces of men, they are getting behind in their or ders more and more. As result of the demand, prices have gone up, and the 4x8 flag, somewhat similar to the army storm flag, which formerly was sold for $3.75, now finds ready pur- chasers at $5.50, and prices have risen on other sizes in proportion. The navy department has its own flags made at a factory in the Brook lyn navy yard, and consequently does not suffer as the war office does.
 The primal reason for the scarcity of bunting is that when hostilities be- came imminent General Greedy, chief of the signal service, bought up about all the flags he could get hold Of and gave orders to such an extent as to cripple the means of supply for pri- vate purchasers. High priced silk flags are about the only ones avail able It is calculated that since the blowing up of the Maine, with the consequent outburst of popular feel ing, at least 10,000,000 of flags have been sold, and this leaves the trade high and dry, so far as stock is con- cerned.
