William,s Visit to snain.

Washington, Nov. 14.-It is under
stood that assurances have been given
by the German government that the
visit of Emperor William Of Germany to
Spain is entirely devoid of official char
acter or significance; that the official
trip Of the imperial party ended when
they left Palestine, and that the pro-
posed stop at Cadiz and Cartagena is
largely health precaution in behalf Of
the empress, as the sea trip would be
long and arduous If unbroken by these
stops at the Spanish ports.

POURING IN BY BUSHELS.
Petitions to the President Relative "a
Classified Service Decision.


Washington Nov. 15.-The Monday
mail at the White House was extraor-
dinarily heavy yesterday and Indicated
an intense public interest in the recent
announcement that Mr.. Mckinley was
about to issue an order taking 5000 places
out of the classified service. Since cleo
ton, the attention of thousands of peo-
pie has turned to this matter and bush
els Of letters, petitions and memorials
are now pouring into the White House.
On the general question of civil service
reform these communications are di-
vided about evenly numerically, but with
a wide distinction as to the animating
purpose of the two classes of petitioners.
Applicants for pensions who have been
refused by boards of examiners are eager
to have new men appointed with whom
political and personal influences Will
naturally be more potent, although they
do not express their desire in just these
words. They want the change made for
the good of the service" On the other
CARNATIONS of public spirited citizens are
petitioning to have the pension service
remain under the merit system. Circu-
lar letters are being sent out by both
sides, urging that as large number Of
recommendations as possible be made to
the president, and the volume of these
responses is now SO large that he will
doubtless be somewhat FASTENED in get
ting the draft Of the new order into final
chnne Each dow thara ic submitted tn
him a brief of the contents of these me-
MORALS, the volume Of which has greatly
surprised him as well as the strength
with the substantial classes of the coun-
try which the merit system exhibits.

Special cable TO The Call and the New York
Herald. Copyrighted, 1895, by James Cor
don Bennett.
LIVERPOOL, Oct. 22.-General Mer-
rift was looking very we'll indeed on
the Cunard line pier at o'clock this
morning when the Campania dis
charged her Passengers. The generals
presence on the wharf at Liverpool at
that early hour was due to the fact
that the 0ampania had on board Miss
Laura Williams, who viii shortly be
married to General Merritt. With Miss
Williams were Mrs. Norman Williams
and Norman Williams.
General Merritt was one of the first
visitors on board the Campania after
the gangway had been secured. He re-
turned to the wharf after a short time
and completed the arrangements he
had made for the accommodation of his
party on a special train to London, for
which point he left as soon as the Gus
toms of-cers had completed the ex-
animation of the luggage of the Cam
pania's passengers.
The Campania arrived at Liverpool
just after rlidniL.t this morning, but
most of the passengers, including Miss
Williams, remained aboard all night
The arrangements for the wedding
Of General erritt and Miss Williams
are still incomplete and if the date has
been set the general has not confided 1t
to his friends The ceremony will prob
ably take place in London, as already
announced in The Call.

MANILA. Sept. 21.-The rockies"
have come. The rockies, it should be
understood, is a term of good natured
contempt applied by the battle-scarred
veterans of the Manila campaign 70

third-or was it the fourth expedition
One loses count of expeditions and time
and what not in this enervatfng CHI

out to fill up the ranks of the several
companies of the First California Regi-
ment to their full complement as pro-
vided by the wise men at Washington
Now the First California is a regi-
ment that is regiment 1t went down
into the trenches and saved the Tenth

the Mauser bullets were singing

letting the heavens down upon 1t in a

the gray, grim walls OF Old Manila
through hidden lines Of Spanish soldiers

Albeit he is a good fellow, the rocky
has his pecullarities. One of these,
naturally enough, is that he does not
always know his commanding officer
Sometimes he does not even know his
company officers. They did not keep
watch with him. nor share hard tack
and coffee and quinine with him in the
trenches. Those were the old boys. A
case in point is that Of the rocky who,
being on sentry duty at the palace gate
the other evening, permitted the colonel
and the lieutenant colonel Of the regi-
ment to pass him without challenge or
salute before it occurred to him that
possibly he was not placed there alto
gether for the purpose of sitting upon q
cane-bOttOmed stool to find out whether
he could prevent Springfield rifle
going to sleep. Then, when they had
passed him about ten feet, he shook
himself together, rose slowly, shoul-
dered his gun and observed, as It were,
casually: Say, do yuse fellows belong
here?"
Yes, SIR replied Colonel Smith.
I'VE belong here"
"AlI right, then. What time is it?''
The colonel cheerfully gave the re-
Quired information and was then per
mitted to seek repose in his own quar-
tiers.
OF different metal was the rocky
who saw his colonel pass him in day-
light, knowing him, and commented
trenchantly upon the officers personal
appearance, Colonel Smith Is soldier,
a working soldier, every Inch of him

is not exactly a dress parade costume,

Constdera BILE excitement was created
on Friday night by the announcement
that an attempt had been made to as
sassfnate Aguinaldo by placing poison
IN his food. When the statement was
made on the floor OF the Assembly on
Saturday morning that Aguinaldos
cook had seen a Spanish prisoner place
something in the soup and after tasting
the latter had died in horrible agony
within few hours of his detection of
the outrage, but that Aguinaldo had
been warned in time, the delegates rose
en- masse and mingled their cries of de-
light at Aguinaldo's providential es-
cape with grOans of denunCiation for
the perpetrators of the crime. The bus
mess Of the convention was immed-
ately suspended and the delegates in
body marched to AguinaldOs house for
the purpose of COngratulating him.
The pOpulaCe meanwhile threatened
to lynch every Spanish prisoner in the
vicinity but the guilty persons having
been arrested and frightened into a
confession that they had been hired to
place poison in the soup, Aguin-
aldo graCiously interceded on be-
half of the Spaniards and succeeded in
calming the mob. Except that spe-
