THE NEW RECRUITS.
Will Not be Recognized, But There
viii Re Room for 200 in the Regi-
ment to Be Modified at Kanawba
City.

City.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, April 20
Governor Atkinson had a conversa-
ton to-day over the long distance
telephone with Secretary Alger, of
the War Department, in reference to
the mobilization of the West Virginia
troops, the result of which was that
the troops will be modified at Kan
awha City instead of at Martinsburg,
as first directed by the Secretary of
War.
1t has been decided to consolidate
the two regiments, which jointly in
clude one thousand men, and to adj
NIT about 200 recruits to make up
the full regiment of twelve hundred.
1t is understood that the new COM
panies formed within the last week
will not be organized, and the regi-
ment will not be filed out until the
troops arrive at the rendezvous at
Kanawha City.
The consolidation of the two regi-
ments will necessitate the reducing
of the rank of the present officers, and
it is said that all of the officers Of the
National Guard agreed to this except
Colonel Banks, OF the Second regi-
ment.
General Spillman will be made col
onel of the regiment, and Col. G. L.
Smith will be lieutenant colonel. The
majors will be made captains and the
junior captains made lieutenants.
1t appears that the misunderstand-
ing between the Governor and Gener-
al Spillman and subordinates was
caused by the orders of Adjutant APP
pleton, who, it is said, gave orders to
General Spillman to recruit the regi-
ments without consulting the Gov
ernor. who is commander in chief
1t has all been satisfactorily ex-
planned, however, and everything will
move along tremendously.

should take something for that
swelled feeling. Remember the fate
of the bullfrog.
If it makes the Governor feel
good to regard himself as bigger
than the War Department, all right;
but it should be borne in mind that
his little stage play may result in
leaving West Virginias quota of
troops out of the list of volunteers
altogether. War Department Off
cials are used to having their orders
obeyed without question and are not
apt to waste words.
Gov. Atkinson's unwise and I'M
calledfor effort to advance Col. Cas-
teel over Col. Smith of the Second
Regiment, has naturally raised a
storm of indignation among the ma
tional guardsmen. The Governor

through the brush toward her. Her
heart gave a great bound, and seemed
to lodge way up in her throat, and she
moaned, ooh, what shall do?"
She had heard enough of the Span
iards to know that If they suspected
their conversation had been overheard,
though but child, they would not hes
itate to kill her. She stood silent and
still, almost paralyzed with fear, but
as the men almost reached her, she was
aroused to activity by the loud bray
ing Of a mule, few rods up the road.
It was old Don on his way home. When
she heard his ! familiar bray hope
sprang up within her heart. If she
could only reach her faithful old friend
she believed that she could yet save
General Gomez. Old Don was a long

cared, raw-boned old mule, but he had
run races in the neighborhood, and
had beaten them all. If she could only
reach him and get on his back. She
dropped the dog and ran through the
brush, while the scout in hot pursuit,
while the officer. who could not run
his horse through the thick brush,
turned back toward the road.
Izora was an active child, and it was
only a few rods to old Don. She
reached the road and darted out by the
side of the mule, who, being startled
by her sudden appearance, turned and
fed up the road. But she ran on, cry
ing out: Don, Don; good old Don,
wait for izora." The old mule recog-
nized the voice of his little friend, and
stopping, turned around and stood with
his big ears tipped forward, apparently
trying to collect his shattered thoughts
and grasp the situation. AS he saw the
child running towards him with the
dog at her heels. the scout only a few
rods behind, cursing and swearing, and
threatening to shoot her If she did
not stop, he seemed to realize that
some danger threatened the child and
started on a trot to meet her. When

only about three or four rods away
but with the nimbleness of squirrel
she climbed on old Don's back and
tried to push his head around with her
hand to turn him up the road; but
with mulish stubbornness he persisted
in standing and looking at the oncom-
ing scout. When not more than a
couple of rods away, with curse, the
scout raised his revolver and fired. The
ball pierced one of old Don's ears, and
with a wild snort the animal tossed his
head in the air, whirled on his hind
feet and ran like the wind, leaving
such cloud of dust behind that it was
impossible for the scout to shoot with
accuracy at either mule or rider. While
the scout stood in the road, cursing his
luck, there was loud clatter of horses
feet, and the next instant the officer,
mounted on his powerful horse, dashed
past him in pursuit of the flying mule
and the child. Old Don was not only
scared by the noise, but he thought he
was going to add another to the long
list of races he had run. He strained
every muscle in his body, and though
the feet steed of the officer gained
upon him, it was too slow at first to
be perceptible. A couple of miles they
clattered on over the rough road, the
officers horse slowly but surely gain
ing on the mule, when turning a sharp
bend in the road old Don found him
self face to face with General Gomez's
army. In his surprise he stopped as
suddenly as he had started, and little
Izora went on over his head, landing
in the dust. The mule stood with his
feet braced and his ears tipped forward,
perfect picture of stubbornness; and
curiosity shone from his eyes, as if he
was trying to decide whether this was
friend or foe.
The next instant, as the Spanish Off
Ger came riding around the bend in the
road, dozen rife shots rang out upon
the air and both horse and rider fell
to the earth to rise no more.
General Gomez's soldiers picked I'D
little Izora, and when she told her
story the General took her up in his
arms and kissed her again and again,
and tears dropped from his eyes.

from the road, and sat down, taking
the dog in her lap she held his nose
with one hand so that he could not

him to keep quiet While trying to
still the beating Of her heart. she heard
the footsteps of the soldier, and at the
same time the clatter of horses feet
coming from another direction. The
rider of the horse and the soldier met
close to her hiding place and stopped
to talk. She looked out through the
brush and saw that the man on the
horse was also a Spaniard, and evil

the soldier, who was a scout:
Are they coming?"
"Yes," answered the scout; ''they

Can 1t be possible that we are going
to get him at last?"
AS IZora heard these words, in her
surprise and horror she almost sprang
to her feet. She had heard her peo-
pie talk so much about the war and
how he and his little band of patriots
were struggling to free Cuba from the
tyranny of the Spaniards. Now, as
she heard the plan to massacre Gomez
and his men, it made the cold chills
run over her, and her heart thumped
and pounded until 1t seemed to her that
the men in the road must hear it. Hold
ing the dog under her arm, she slowly
and carefully crawled through the
brush. Her whole heart filed with
one great desire to reach Gen. Gomez
and warn him of the danger into which
he was marching. Finally, after she
had gotten few yards away, she re-
leased the dog. who still, intent on
play. nipped at her heels and gave a
sharp bark. She seized him and again
held him so that he could not make
noise, and then listened.
Suddenly she heard the officer, in a
