SantiagO's Distinction,

Santiago de Cuba has an ecolesias-

the oldest bishopric in the western
world. When all Pennsylvania was a
traceless waste, an archbishop ruled a
see OF no mean proportions from that
city and under that title. From the
city OF Santiago also went out the two
great missionaries TO the Indians and

he population at the last census:

twill be seen that the Louisiana
quota is 1910 men, and the strength
of the National Guard of this State,
exclusive of the naval militia, which
is, of course, not included in the call,
is 26O7 officers and men. The quota
will, therefore, not absorb the full
strength OF the National Guard;
hence, for the present at least, there
may be no use for the outside volun-
teer companies and regiments which
are forming. Should the war con-
tinue for any length of time, however,
there is no doubt that there will be a
need for all the volunteers.
