I have just been allowed to read in
manuscript three connected short sto-
lies Of American political life, which
seem to me to be about the first real
getting att our native politics by the
way of fiction that know of. Even in
England the attempt OF make tales out
of political people and transactions has
been pretty generally a failure; and
with us it has been worse. But these
three stories, believe, anybody would
pronounce highly successful. They have
life and reality. They are written by a
man quite unknown as N author, Dr.

MISSION A PER!LOUS ONE

Is Taken Will Be Pun
ished as a Spy.
First Dispatches to the War
Department Expected in
a Few Days.

KINGSTON, Jamaica. April 27-First
Lieutenant Andrew S. Rowan of the
Tenth infantry, under orders from the
war department., was landed on the
Cuban coast somewhere west of San
tiago, probably before dawn on Mon
day. His Cuban guides and an open
sailboat were used The guides have
not returned.
Lieutenant Rowan is en- his way to
the camp of General CalxJo Garcia
He will represent the war department
in arranging for the cooperation of the
insurgents in the invasion of Eastern
Cuba by the forces of the United
States The time and place of invasion
will be controlled by events and the
character of Lieutenant Rowan's dis
patches.
The Work Very dangerous.
Lieutenant Rowan was detailed from
the bureau of information for this dan
gerous service-dangerous because, in
his civilian dress, he is liable to be
treated as spy. He speaks Spanish
and knows Cuba, having written a
book on the subject. Moreover, he is
IN expert map maker. Lieutenant
Rowan left Washington under instant
orders on April 9. He was directed to
wait here, prepared to 60 to Porto Rico
or Cuba. AS he went to Eastern Cuba
it is inferred that blow will be struck
there before one is struck at Porto
Rico. The expectation is that General
Calixto Garcia will dispose his forces
to cover a landing of United States
troops as prearranged. A courier with
Lieutenant Rowap's first dispatches to
the war department will probably
leave General Garcia's camp next
week.

CHICAGO, April 27.-Over 4, 900 fight
ing men marched out of Chicago dur
ing the evening bound for the war.
Since the early days of the eos mo such
scene has been witnessed in this city as
transpired in the regimental armories,
in the streets through which the col
umns marched and around the trains
which bore them to the camping
ground at Springfield. The regiments
which went to the front were the First,
Second and Seventh infantry and the
First cavalry.
For hours before the time set for the
troops to move the streets in front of
their armories were jammed to such an
extent that it made them absolutely
impossible to vehicles. When finally
the regiments moved the cheers
drowned the music of the brass bands
and men and women crowded in upon
the ranks to shake hands with the de-
parting soldiers. Fully 5000 people
followed each of the regiments to the
trains and at the depots the crowd
proved a serious hindrance to the
movements of the men.

REBELS ARE READY.

Will Descend on Manila on the Appear
ance of the Americ IN Fleet
LONDON, April 27.-;The Times CORE.
spondent at Hong Kong says: The
Esmeralda brought 600 refugees, mostly
Chinese, from Manila. On Saturday,
the 23d, the American vessels in Philip
pine ports put to sea with one excep.
ton. The guns have been taken from
the Spanish ships to assist IN the de-
Tense of Manila, where the fortifica-
lions are useless, the guns obsolete, the
torpedo mines of doubtful value and
ammunition of all kinds scarce. The
Spaniards have an effective military
force of 5000 men. Despite official
contradictions the rebels continue raid
ing the towns in the island of Luzon
and the appearance OF the American
squadron will be the signal for a
descent on Manila.

BLOCKADE UNCHANGED.

No Firing Reported From the Batteries
or the Fleet.
KEY WEST, April 27.-The torpedo
boat Porter has arrived from off the
Cuban coast, and reports that the posi-.
ton of the blockade continues un-
changed. There has been no firing on
either side.
Lieutenant Juan del Pine of the
Spanish infantry and his orderly were
brought on board the flagship New
York from the gunboat Wilmington, to
whom they had been turned over by
the. cruiser Cincinnati. The cruiser
captured the Spaniards while they
were in small schooner bound for
Matanzas. Lieutenant Pine was on a
furlough and going to see his wife and
infant child. The child was born last
Friday and he had never seen it. In
these circumstances Rear Admiral
Sampson and Captain Chadwick de.
cided to let the officer and his orderly
60 under parole. They were sent
ashore in one Of the newspaper dis
patch boats.
The news from Matanzas, Cardenas
and Mariel is meagre, but it indicates
that the blockade has been firmly estab-
lished at those ports. The torpedo
boat Foote is reported as having been
fairly on the Matanzas batteries, but
thus far not a single casualty of any
kind in the fleet has been heard of on
the flagship.

Enthusiasm There and at All

WASHINGTON, April 27.-At the close
of office hours Adjutant General Cor
bin had received dispatches from the
governor of nearly every state and ter
Eitory in response to Secretary Alger's
call for information as to the troops the
states and territories will be expected
to furnish under the presidents call Tor
125, 900 men. The tenor of these re-
plies shows there is no mistaking the
patriotism Of the people of this country
in the present emergency. On every
hand there was expressed willingness
to come to the governments aid and
the offers were in excess of the present
demands. The body of the kilograms
was made up for the greater part of an
enumeration of what the national
guard had on hand, and for this reason
the reports of the governors were not
made public.
Recruiting for the regular army un-
der the Hull army reorganization bill
will be begun at once. A circular has
been prepared giving directions for this
work and this will be issued immedi-
ately. The recruiting will be carried
ON in the regiments where they are not
located by regimental recruiting boards
and at various army posts throughout
the country.

Hone KONG, April 27.-Mail advices

IOWA GUARDS MODELLING.

Nearly the Entire Quota of the State
Now at Des Moines.
DIES MONIES, Ia, April 81. Special
trains have brought practically the en-
tire national guard, with many re.
cruits, to Des Moines. 1t is estimated
that 2, 700 of the required 8. 700 men as
iowa's quota are now on the ground.
The guard falls some short of the re-
CURED number and the governor has
issued call for more men, the object
being to fill the quota. A score of COM
panies outside the guard stand ready to
offer their services in case not enough
ex-guards respond.

Only OuelIed by the Presence of Spanish

ST. THOMAS, Danish West Indies,
April 27.-The situation in Porto Rico
is certainly grave and the threatened
scarcity of food in the island and in
ternal disorders resulting therofrom are
perhaps the most serious phase. Food
prices have about doubled, the mer-
chants are said to have already de-
clared war upon the people by the fore
ing up of prices and the governmental
attempts to regulate these prices have
failed.
There has been rioting in interior
towns to protest against these meas.
ures, rioting that was qaelled only with
the presence Of troops and artillery.
The government is sending reinforce
ments of troops to the interior.

NOT CONFIRMED OFFICIALLY

Navy Department Has Heard Nothing OF
Engagements at Havana.
WASHINGTON. April 27.~-The great
est anxiety was shown at the navy de-
partment. for news from the blockading
squadron. Notwithstanding the fire.
quent reports that came from two un-
official sources of engagements between
the fleet and the shore batteries no
word of confirmation came officially.
The three prizes reported to have been
seized by the fleet were not referred to
in the official dispatches, but the press
reports of the seizures were received
with the greatest satisfaction by the
officers of the department., who in some
cases did not hesitate to declare their
envy of their more fortunate brother
officers with the feet.

After the First Serious Encounter the

LONDON, April 27.-The Vienna cor
respondent of The Standard says: 1t
is probably due to complete under
standing reached between Count Col
uchowski, the Austro- Hungarian for
eign minister, and Prince Hohenlohe,
the German chancellor, that all the in.
spired organs of the Vienna foreign Of
fee are propagating the idea that, after
the first serious encounter between
Spain and the United States, the inter-
vention of the powers will bring the
war to a close. The Intervention would
consist of recommendation that Spain
should give up Cuba, after having
saved her honor. 1t is in keepin g with
this idea that the foreign Office organs
express extreme Impotence at the
slowness of developments.

 The London Financial News "The Mexican government is fully alive to the importance of developing it's gold mines as rapidly as possible. With q view to inducing foreign capital to assist in opening up it's gold resources, 1t has agreed to admit all mines stores and implements free of duty, and has also arranged, under the new mining laws, to purchase all the gold won. The importance of the gold mining industry as shown by Professor Blake in report on the Campana line of reef will compare favorably with the Mother lode of California. The Campana Consolidated Gold Mining company, which owns some four or five miles of proved claims on this reef, has already developed some of it's claims to depth of 256 feet, and the ore bodies in sight are said to represent value of some e2O0, 000 At the lower levels the value per ton is reported to be e3 2s, giving a net profit or e2 l As per ton of stone. The opening up of this vast reef will, no doubt, have an import ant effect on the mining industry of the country.
