PAPERS MADE A FUSS

New York, June ga dispatch to
the World from Madrid says: The
Spanish government and Captain Gen
eral Blanco are equally disposed to ex-
change the Merrimac prisoners. in
TACT. an authorization to exchange
them was telegraphed to General
Blanco but the Havana and Madrid
newspapers made a row over it, affect
ing to believe that it would be very
dangerous to hberate men who have
been close enough to the defences of
Santiago to be in a position to carry
back important information Accord
ingly after much hesitation, the govern
ment insisted upon General BIanco
General Linares and Admiral Cervera
refusing to exchange, although all
three were in favor of an exchange
According to Spanish advices Lieu
tenant Hobson and the other prisoners
were confined only a short time in
MORO fort and then were transferred
to vessel in the bay They are be-
lieved to be safe as long as Linares
and Cervera can control the situation
The Spanish regulars are sure to re-
spect the rights of the prisoners The
only danger is from the volunteers.
Members of the old Spanish party are
exasperated by the downfall OF the old
regime.

MAY REJECT ALL BIDS.
Executive Council Still Wrestling
With the Walks Problem.

The executive council is still wrestling
with the pavement contract for the
walks and drives in the state house
grounds.
There is but $1O8.96 difference between
the bid of Watson & Co, or the Brad

company of ST Louis The difference
is in favor of Mr. Watson. The bid of
the Barber company was much higher
There is a question about the specifi-

NOT WARLIKE.
Much Trouble Encountered in Rails
ing a Company of CoIored Troops.

An effort is being made to either con-
soldate the Fourth battalion of colored
troops of Ohio with the two battalionS
to be raised in Kansas or in the event
that that scheme. should fail to have
an entire regiment raised in Kansas.
There may be trouble in securing the
enlistment of a regiment OF colored
troops in Kansas. Much more difficulty
is experienced in getting the necessary
recruits than was expected. Captain
Reynolds who has charge of the re-
cruiting in Topeka for the government
said today that but seventy recruits in
Topeka have been secured. The num-
Der wanted is LOG and the company has
been filled up by recruits from Ottawa
and Leroy who came in last night.
In Lawrence there is a great deal of
trouble and not one company will be
filed there. Only at Kansas City do
the recruiting officers expect to secure
a complete company. Major Boyd of
the adjutant generals office SAID today
that he thinks the state will be able to
recruit the two battalions with some
difficulty.
At all the towns the trouble is that
there are too many men who want to
be officers. Governor Leedy said today:
1.-The cOlOred people have the same
trouble that the whites have-they run
too much to captains"
There wouIu be no difficulty in secur
ing the required number of officers but
priVateS are harder to find.
Governor Leedy today appointed DR..
E. c. Harvey of Kansas City and DIR.
c. S. Sunday of Topeka surgeons of the
colored battalions now being raised.
Last nigI.. the companies of colOred
soldiers from Ottawa and Garnett ar
rived in Topeka and marched at once
to Camp Leedy. At noon today the
company from Lawrence and few re-
cruits from Osl1aIoosa arrived This
afternoon the Topeka company went
into camp The other companies are
expected as soon as they are recruited.

INFANTRY WITHDRAWN.
But Cavalry and Artillery Remain at
Oshkosh.

Oshkosh, Wis, June 29.-With con-
sent of the mayor and sheriff, Gov.
Scofield has decided to withdraw the
four companies of infantry numbering
800 men leaving the light battery and
light horse squadron to take care of the
strike in connection with the 800 dep
uty sheriffs and special police already
sworn in.
The efforts to settle the strike by
compromise have resulted in failure
owing to the firm refusal of manufac-
turers to treat with the strikers as
union labor. The strikers would APP
parently yield if the union were recog-
nized and some small concessions in
Wages allowed
