MASTERING In.
Volunteers Today Being Sworn
to Uphold Their COun-
try's Flag.

The first Kansas volunteers are being
mustered into the service of the United
States at Representative hall today.
They are members of Company B, of
Kansas City, and the mastering is be-
ing done under the direction of Lieut..
Clarke and Examining Surgeon Ban
mister of Leavenworth. DR.. de Neidman,
one of the assistant surgeons of the vol
unteer regiments, is assisting DR.. Ban
mister.
The members of the company are
lounging in the chairs in Representa-
tive hall, and while Drs. Bannister and
de Neidman strip the recruits in one of
the committee rooms and put them
through thorough physical examina
ton, Lieut.. Clarke examines eyes in
one corner of the hall The mastering
an of the 80 members of Company B will
probably take all day.
This afternoon Lieut.. Slavins of
LeaVenworth will arrive to assist Lieut..
Clarke, and all the volunteer regimentaI
surgeons will be pressed into service to
aid DR.. Bannister as soon as they reach
Topeka. 1t is probable that the work
of mastering in the recruits will be con-
tinued tomorrow, as it is desired to have
the entire three regiments mustered in
by the middle of next week. What dis
position will be made of the troops af-
ter they are in the hands of the govern
ment is yet unknown They may be or
dered to Leavenworth, and they may
remain here. The only thing that in
dicates that they will be taken to
Ieavenworth is the fact that the gov
eminent supplies, unless otherwise or
dered, will be distributed there.
Up to noon today none of the mem
bers of Company B had been re-
jected by DR.. Bannister, and it is prob
able that practically all the volunteer
recruits will be accepted by the govern
ment mastering officers. When the
entire company is mustered in the oath
of the United States army will be adj
ministered. The oath reads as fol-
lows:
ST do solemn1y swear that will bear
true faith and allegiance to the United
States of America, and that will serve
them honestly and faithfully against
their enemies, whomsoever, and that
will obey the orders of the President Of
the United States, and the orders of the
officers appointed over me according to
the Rules and Articles of War"
The volunteers will line up in Rep
resentative hall and raise their right
hands while the oath is repeated by
Lieut.. Clarke. When he prOnOunceS
the last word and the hands of the vol
unteers fall they will be soldiers of the
United States government and subject
to the same regulations as the soldiers
of the regular army.

LIVERPOOL ALARMED
By Rumors of an Attack on the Can
aries.

New York, May THE possibility OF
an attack by an American fleet upon
the Canary islands has caused an I'M
easy feeling in Liverpool where extern
sive interests in the Canaries are held.
says the London correspondent of the
World.
The Liverpool correspondent of the
Daily Chronicle telegraphs:
Il have ascertained that the POSSIBLE
ity of such an attack is by no means
discounted by we'll informed persons.
Indeed it is looked upon rather as a
probability than otherwise.
Il find also that Spain will not leave
the Canaries unprotected. There is an
enormous quantity of coal there-larger
than at any time in years past.
1.-THE military authorities are taking
possession of buildings belonging to
British firms, and when asked for pay
ment, neither pay nor give a thank
you
In view of possible early comp1ica-
lions, it is advisable to state that, al
though the majority of the most i'm
pOrtant places on the Canaries are held
by British capital. they virtually are
Spanish because the Spanish govern
ment insists upon all land and business
being registered under a Spanish name.
So, to all intents and purposes. a Brit
ish enterprise in the Canaries is Span

SCORPIONS LOOKOUT.
She is Watching for the Appearance
of Any Strange Vessel.

Old Point Comfort, Va.-On Board the
Flagship Brooklyn off Fort Monroe.
May THE arrival of the Minneapolis
and the expectation that the st. Paul
and the New Orleans would be here
during the day, made things rather
more lively today with the flying squa-
dron than they have been for some
few days.
The naval reserves at the capes, who
are keeping night lookout are indignant
at story sent out to the effect that
they signalled Spanish fleet coming
and caused a panic on the war vessels.
No such thing occurred. The founda-
ton for the story was that Adjutant
Phillip of the local fort, received a dis
patch saying that some vessels without
lights had gone out after dark. He
misread it as saying coming in and in
formed Commodore Schley. He was
told that the Scorpion was scouting for
the squadron and would take care Of
any strangers. There was no gun fired
and no call to quarters.
