needed I shall expect the surgeons to
select the 20 who are the best qualified

A WOMAN TRAITOR.
TreasOnable Letter Intercepted
by the p. o. Department.

Washington, April 2S.-The postoffice
department has received information
of another letter being held up because
it contained reasonable information.
The postmaster at Santa Cruz, Cal, re-
ported a letter addressed to Premier
Sagasta, Spain, had been mailed there
and under direction of Assistant At
torney General Tyner, it's contents were
examined.
1t was mailed by woman who gave
an address where an answer would
reach her and contained information in
regard to the Notifications of San Fran
cisco, where guns are located, etc. It
also described points lower down the
coast where Spanish vessels could land
troops, and said there were men who
would act as guides to attack San Fran
cisco and seize railroad trains. The let
ter will be transmitted to the war de-
partment for action. It is thought that
it may lead to investigation as to
whether there are persons in that vicin-
ity unfriendly to the United States.

FUNSTON FOR THE GUARDS.
Wanted the Companies Enlisted Sep
arately-Places es for Volunteers.

Col. Funston endeavored to have the
Kansas National guard recognized by
consolidating the two regiments into
one, or by dividing the work, permit
ting the guards to enlist by companies.
There are 20 companies in the state,
and he thought it would be a good plan
to put one-third of them in each regi-
ment, and then fill up the remainder
with volunteers.
The governor failed to fall in with
Col. Funston's ideas.
Major J. K. Hudson said on the same
matter:
by all means the guards should have
been enlisted into one regiment. They
should have been permitted to keep
their present officers They have some
military training and would, no doubt,
have done credit to the state. The
governor has made a mistake, in my
Judgment
Major Hudson urged the governor to
enlist the Kansas National guards into
one regiment, and make it the First
Kansas regiment; then make up the
other two regiments with volunteers.

FORT SCOTT KICKS.
The National Guards Nonp1ussed at
the Order From the State House.

Fort Scott, April 2S.-The local COM
pany of militia in response to the order
from the state war department has
shipped all supplies and equipment to
the adjutant general at Topeka, but
there is some doubt about the company
going to the rendezvous. 1t is urged
that the action of the governor in re-
calling the arms and equipment is a
practical diSbanding of the militia ana
the men are not inclined to take the
trip as citizens and run the risk OF be-
ing put to a large amount of expense
and then fail to get into the regiments
which will go to the front.
The action of the governor and the
state war department has created great
surprise here and much indignation is
being expressed. Many of the men who
have spent money in fitting their uni
forms and time in keeping their arms
and accoutrementS in order object SER
iousIy as they fear they will not get
the same ones when they are reftted if
such a thing should come to pass. The
men feel that they will not get to en-
list.

LEEDY THINKS HE'S RIGHT
Whether There's Burning in EHgy or
No Burning in Effigy.

Governor Leedy has been busy arranging
the details of the war preparations and
has paid little attention to the rebellion
which has broken out against his method
of treating the militiamen. However, he
has heard the uproar, but announces that
the programme will remain unchanged.
The governor said:
4 can see no other course to pursue in
justice to the service and in fairness to
everybody. Many of these Young men in
the guard are not matured and are unfit,
in my Judgment. to march, and fight un-
der a tropical and endure the hard
ships of a campaign in Cuba.
There are others who did not enlist in
leaving the state or going to fight in
Cuba and they do not desire to go, but
they are impOrtuned against their wishes
to remain in these companies and join in
protesting against my action"
The governor told one of his friends who
called on him today that he had been be-
sieged with letters from mothers and
to make some kind of an arrangement
which would enable them to avoid going
.'The method by which we are handling
these matters will accomplish this end. i"
the governor is quoted as saying. He
There are thousands of men in Kansas
tramping over me, wanting to go to war
If the men in the guard or any minority
of them. do not want to go I will not
conscript them. That is just what it
would amount to- l think matters are now
arranged in such a way that the men who
do not want to go, either in the guard
who are simply clamoring for the oppor-
tunity to go will have it.
1.-The member of the guard will be given
the first opportunity to enlist the COVER
nor said to a Journal reporter. Because
some of the officers of the militia have
not been recognized in these appointments
there is complaint against my way of
doing things. However, I am convinced
that it is the correct method and will
make no change in the programme which
has been outlined.
1t has been suggested to the governor
that such members of the K. n. G. as
enlist be allowed thereafter to form them
selves into companies and elect their own
officers, if they so desire. This would
mean a reorganization of the militia from
captains down to privates. after the en-
listment as volunteers. One of the gov
ernor's close friends who advanced this
idea to the executive says it was consid-
cred, but not accepted.
Il have started out to handle this mat
ter as 1 conceive to be right said the
been done had that idea in mind have
been burned in effgy, but that makes no
difference to me. That could be done all
summer so far as L am concerned and I
won't object. I am going to do this thing
in my own way. When it is all over I
think some of the gentlemen who are now
kicking will change their minds.''

Every State in the Union Has
Modified It's Troops

AZ rebellion has broken out in the
Kansas National guard which might
have been expected when they were or
dered yesterday by the state admins
tration to strip off their shoulder
straps and their uniforms and ship
them together with their guns and all
other equipment to Topeka This prac-
tically disbands the National Guard of
Kansas at the outbreak of the war, just
when they are most needed and when
they in common with the militia of all
the other states expected to be called
out
In every other state in the Union, the
National Guard composed of partially
drilled men is already modified or
mobilizing. In Kansas it is thrown in
to a state of complete disorganization
1t appears that in the effort to ap-
point certain persons to positions as
majors, colonels and adjutants, the or
iginaI organization of the guards has
been overthrown and the whole body
demoralized.
This is no time for politics or for po-
Iftical appointments. The necessary
thing is to get our troops into the field
at once, regardless of what friends of
the administration want jobs.

retary of war will not turn down the
recommendation of Governor Leedy.
Major Hudson is a Republican and is
an experienced officer. 1t would be ex-
tremely discourteous to Governor Lee
dy. His request for recommendation
from Governor Leedy was tantamount
to giving him authority to make the ap-
pointment.
Governor Leedy is making an effort to
keep his recommendation of the ap-
pointment of Major Hudson a secret.
He does not want it to be known until
everything has been arranged for the
concentration of the troops in Topeka
but nevertheless he has made the rec
Ommendation and Major Hudson has
been apprised of the fact and agreed
to accept the position.
There was only one other man spo-
ken of in connection with this appoint
ment whom it was believed would be
seriously considered by the war depart
ment and that was Col. J. w. F.
Hughes of Topeka. He made his appli-
cation direct to the secretary of war be-
fore the call for volunteers was made
or war had been declared, and he re-
ceived a letter which he considered a
favorable reply to his application. Since
then nothing has been done.
AS far as Governor Leedy and his ap-
pointment as colonel of one of the Kan
sas regiments is concerned that is
matter which has been in his mind for
a long time but he has been careful not
to talk about it. His intimate friends
know that from the first he he has ex-
pressed a determination to fight the
Spaniards in some capacity. While
governors in other states were asking
for a brigadier generals commission
generally for bunkum, Governor Leedy
was thinking, and he decided that he
would ask for no such boon as that but
if he could command a Kansas regi-
ment he would be satisfied. All this
was thought out by the governor before
he said word to even his most trust
ed friend.
Governor Leedy had his, mind made
up week ago that he would resign
as soon as he was assured by the war
department that he would be named
to command one of the regiments for
etiquette would not permit him to ap-
point himself While that assurance
has not been received, no one who
knows anything about it doubts for
moment that it will come.
In the event that the department
refuses to appoint Governor Leedy on
account of the law which gives the gov
ernOr the right to name the officers of
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1898-04-28

the regiments he can still arrange
everything to his liking. He will sim
ply leave one of the places of colonel
vacant and after he has resigned, Lieu
tenant Governor Harvey will make the
appointment.
Major T. J. Anderson, Major J. K. Hud-
son and Capt. A. NJ. Fuller and asked
them if they thought the three regi-
ments could be properly drilled at the
fair grounds in this city. The Topeka
men stated that by using the Douthitt
field adjoining the fair grounds the
facilities for the drill work of the regi-
mentS would be ample. Governor
Leedy intends to drill the troops here
in addition to mobilizing them in this
