NO CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS.
Governor Mount Does Not Believe One
VIII BE Made.

Governor Mount does not believe that
there will be any call for volunteers soon,
if at all. In case of war, he says that the
government would first call for the Ma
tionaI Guard of the various States. This
would furnish force of about 100000 men,,
enough to make very formidable defense
Of the Atlantic seaboard. 1t is his impress
sion that most Of the men 'that would be
enlisted by the government would be for
navy service, and that men who had seen
service on the sea would be first preferred.
''It will not be a question of getting
enough volunteers" said the Governor.

for volunteers as were made during the
civil war, when calls came for 100000 men

The Governor said that he did not see how

think that any interference from foreign
nations is 10 be expected so long as the
United States interveneS on the broad
grounds of humanity. The European pow
ers, he believes, would object to the United
States intervening with the intention of a
conquest of the island, but so long as there
is no such intention he does not believe the
European powers will side with Spain.
The controversy with the two colored
companies will probably result in the men
being mustered out of service. AS reported
last week, Nle companies were given the
privilege of forming a battalion of their
own, with separate major, or disbanding.

FLAG OF CUBA H0ISTED
TT NOW FLOATS OVER MARION CLUB
WITH THE NATIONAL CoLORs.
Fair Grounds rendered the State by
Board of Agriculture for MobiI-
izinE the Militia.

The Marion Club OF this city is the first
political organization OF the State TO recog-
nize the belligerency of Cuba by hosting
the flag OF that country. Sunday afternoon,
while three or four members of the club
were discussing the probabilities of a war
with Spain, some one suggested that it was
time for the club to show how it stood on
the Cuban question by flying the Cuban
colors. Before night the plan gained much
popularity among the members and the
task of procuring a Cuban flag and hoist
ing it into position was intrusted to VIII
G. Beach. The flag was made by Mrs. Jacob
Traub, of Brightwood, yesterday morning.
1t was the plan to raise the flag yesterday
afternoon DIT o'clock with appropriate
ceremonies, but the banner was not finished
until later in the afternoon.
By 3 o'clock a large Cuban flag was
proudly flying in the breeze above the club
house. Above Cuba's colors hoated the
American flag. The Cuban flag attracted
much attention and a number of people
stopped at the club to inquire If the display
of these colors meant anything significant.
1t is a pretty banner, Cubas flag, and it's
colors harmonic nicely with those of Old
Glory. 1t has five blue and white bars with
a triangular red field containing single
white star.
