He was found in lot early this morn ing, but dashed into a doorway, es- caped through the house and had not been captured up to 10 o'clock. The dl- rect cause of the shooting is uncertain, but 1t is said to have been Kitchen s jealously of his wife
 The victim of the second crime was John J. Dorsey, a reputable machlnlSt, of Manatee, Fla, about 55 years of age. He was found dead early this morning in a vacant lot near the Key West Ho- tel. There were blood stains on ms head and bruises on his face and neck: Dorsey was a man of family and owned an orange grove at Manatee. lie re- gently came here and secured Gov ernment job. He was paid off yester- day, and after paying his board plll, had seven or eight dollars in his posses sion. After lively drinking bout Tn a tavern few yards from the lot where his body was found Dorsey lett the place and was followed by c. Wallace, and was followed by Charles Wallace, a coachman, and leader of the Bottle Gang" an organization of Key West toughs. Nothing was seen of the two men until the body was found this morning with the money gone. w al lace was soon afterward arrested. The employees of the hotel say that they heard a shot, and d revolver with one empty chamber was found on Wallace. He denies any knowledge of the killing, but he said to the Sheriff: You need not be afraid the old man was shot. He was choked to death" An examination
 of the body showed that this was prob ably correct.
 The municipal conditions here would
 be classed as grotesque normally, to say nothing of wartimes. How long they have existed is a puzzle, but they first became manifest soon after the ar rival here of the troops of the colored Twenty fifth Infantry. One of the sol diers became involved in a shooting affair on the street and was lodged in the county jail. Half an hour later body of companions, with rifles, marched on the jail and forcibly liber
 ated him, the Sheriff being powerless to prevent them. Since then this harbor has become the base of operations for a, number of free and-easy saloons, crowded night after night with jack
 ies" and rowdies of all classes. One night this week a general fight occurred in one of the taVerns and no less than four sailors suffered broken heads. The impotent police force of three men saw the whole affair, but of course could do nothing. Within the past month three so-called peace guardians" have re- signed their office, complaining that they have long been paid in city scrip at the rate of $50 per month, which is discounted one-half A new trio of po- Iicemen were obtained and these now show signs of rebellion, declaring they will resign. Long before the war broke out there had been much talk of mar tia1 law for the town, but no steps to this effect were taken. There IS little doubt now, however. that martlal la" will soon be a fact.

PROCLAMATION FOR
 MORE VOLUNTEERS

WASHINGTON, May 25.-The President to-day issued the following proclamation:
 BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
 A PROCLAMATION.
 WHEREAS, An act Of Congress was approved on the 18th day of April, 1898, entitled "An act de- claring that war exists between the United States Of America and the Kingdom Of Spain and
 Whereas, By an act Of Congress entitled An act to provide for temporarily increasing the mili- tary establishment Of the United States in time or war; and for other purposes" approved April 22, 1898 the President is authorized, in order to raise volunteer army issue his proclamation calling for volunteers to in the army Of the United States
 Now therefore, l, William Mckinley, President of the United States by virtue Of the power vested in me by the constitution and the laws, and deem ing sufficent occasion to exist, have thought fit to call forth, and hereby do call forth, volunteers to the aggregate number of 900 in addition to the volunteers called forth by my proclamation Of the 18th day Of April in the present year; the same 10 be apportioned, far practicable, among the several States and Territories and the District or Columbia according to population, and to serve For two years unless sooner discharged The propor- lion of each arm and the details of enlistment and organization will be made known through the War Department.

reserve to be drawn upon later when the campaigns were fully under way. Secretary Alger stated that the deter mination to issue the call had not been reached until late yesterday. The merits of it have been canvassed more or less for some weeks, but 1t was not until few hours before the call itself ap- peared that the move was finally de- cided upon.
 Coming thus unexpectedly the war Department had made no preparations for executing the call and 1t will be some days before the details are worked out as to the quotas from each State the calls to the respective Governors of States, the mastering points and the general points of concentration. All that is settled thus far is that the en- listments are to be thrown open, much as they were at the outbreak Of the Civil War, and are not to be restricted to the militia and National Guard or ganizations of the several States. It will be an encoura cement to the organ ization of independent volunteer com panies and regiments. These will re- tain their identity to a certain extent as State troops, as the Governors Will have the appointment of all company and regimental officers, while only the brigade, division. corps and stan offl- cers will be- appointed by the Pres1- dent

Cx1l Offioe. Riggs House, Washington, May 26.

The event of the day in the war situ- stion was the issuance of a proclama- ton by the President calling for 75,0oo more volunteers. It added a new and stirring phase to the lethargic condi- tions which have prevailed of late and came with almost startling unexpected ness, even to many of the high off cials in the army.
 The proclamation means not only the assembling of a large force of troops, but also the appointment of a number of major-generals, brigadier- generals, colonels, majors, staff and field off, cers, for the organization of this addt- tional force of 75,OO0 men into army corps, divisions, brigades and regi- ments. The reasons leading up to the call naturally were sources of much conjecture, as it was at first felt that the possibility of foreign complications was a factor in bringing about this new move. It speedily developed, how ever. that the call was not due to any latent or serious emergency, but was rather in the line of getting together a large body of men, to be drilled and seasoned, and to constitute a second

KEY WEST, Fla, May 26, 10 a. n1- Rev West is suffering from reign of terror TWO murders were committed during the night, and the best citizens feel that unless the town is promptly put under martial law state of riot may prevail at any moment. The po- lice force consists of three men, and with streets and grog shops infested with turbulent tackles, negroes and roughs of many classes, the danger to the respectable classes is no mean one.
 Tn consequence of last nights blood shed Commander Forsythe has already asked for a guard of twenty-five ma rines to protect the naval station and Government dock, and strong efforts are being made by citizens 10 nave martial law declared.
 While William Carne, a seaman on the auxiliary gunboat Morrill,, and vladimir Ichnitski, sailor of another e11nboat. were sitting in a Cuban cof- fee shop last night Charles Kitchen, local negro, approached, bearing a rifle on his shoulder, and without Woru of warning he aimed 1t at the sailors and fired. One shot struck the Russian on the back of the neck, inf1ictlng a wound from which he died at the hospl- tai a few hours later. A second shot Rrazed Carne's forehead. and as the latter leaped to his feet the negro clos ed in on him and beat him on the head with the butt of his rifle until the stock of the weapon broke. and the sailor lay senseless. The people that witnessed the affair made no attempt to inter fere and Kitchen escaped.

 The location of the Oregon came about in a.peculir way by means of the beach watchers, who are on the @ alert for the approach of hostile ships. Tnese beach patrols continue on duty night and day, and last night the patrol vas rewarded by sighting the big American battle-ship Signaling was begun by the use of torches, and in this way messages to and from the battle-ship were exchanged through the night. In turn these messages were sent to the Navy Department, which is connected by wire with the signal station near Jupiter Inlet The Oregon has not yet sent the usual notice of her arrival It is the first time the new patrol system has had an opportunity to show its efficiency, not only in guarding against the approach of hostile ships, but also in reporting to the Navy Department the movements of our own ships.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

Call Office, Riggs House,
 Washington, May 25
 Rather reluctantly the Navy Depart ment confirmed the report of the pres ence of the Oregon at Jupiter Inlet, Fla. where she arrived last night. The reluctance is shown because the de- partment has decided 1t is a good pol icy to keep the enemy in ignorance of the whereabouts of our vessels. While declining to give any details of the trip at this time, the officials admit that the ship swung clear to the eastward of both the Lesser and Greater Antilles after leaving Barbadoes, until she arrived at a point opposite the Bahamas, where she turned sharply in and made for the Florida coast.
 The Oregon left Mare Island, Cal, 13,O0O miles away from Jupiter, on March 19. so she has averaged 200 miles a. day for sixty-f1ve days. AS matter of fact, the vessel had better speed, for a good many days were lost in talk ing coal at the South American ports.

PRESIDENT JORDAN AND
 THE NEW CHARTER
XASMIN HOUSE, Stanford University.

! believe that the chief Cause of the failure of mu- nicipaI government in the United States lies in the conversion of the public service into patronage to be distributed among per- sonal favOriteS and parti- san workers. The pro- posed charter of San Fran cisco perpetuateS this con- ditiOn of the distribution Of patronage by individuals and cIiqueS. It therefore offers mighty little prom- ise of reform, either in ef- fectiveness or in economy.

The organization and division of these extensive forces Is yet to be arranged by the adjutant generals of fee. Generally speaking, however, the 75, 900 men will suffice for the form ation of seventy-five regiments.
 The new force will require. either by appointment or by officers already ap- pointed three major generals and about twenty-four brigadier generals The colonels. lieutenant colonels, ma jors, captains and neutenants are ap- pointed by the Governors of the vart- ous States, as the law provides that "all regimental and company officers shall be appointed by the Governors of the States in which their respective or ganiZations are raised"
 It was stated at the War Department that the details for the work of organ iZing this new force would not be ac- lively taken up for the present. Just now the adjutant generals office Is en- gagged in completing the enlistment of the 125,0 900 volunteers under the first call It will take some time to com plete this work, and not until then will the real work of organizing the volun- teers under the second call begin.
