COLORADO RECRUITS.
AcuAncEroR A THREE HUNDRED
OAesrs te Return to Coiorsdo TO
Francisco to Enlist tne Aooh'
Men.

Denver, June ia special from san
Francisco to the Republican says;
1t is now definitely known that OF the
795 men to be furnished under the call
about 300 will be used to fill up the
First regiment to the regulation num-
her. and the balance will be organized
into a battalion with a major In com
mand. This is not relished by the
young men who purpose enllsung
They claim that inasmuch as the state
has been called upon to furnish lts
quota Of troops 1t is unfair tnat II
should be required to send these men
to the field under field officers from an
other state The efforts to secure a
change in the orders have been un-
availing SO far, and from present ap
pearances no change will be made.
Two regiments could be raised IN a
week in Colorado If it were thought
best to call for them, but as the case
stands now, there has been consider
able of a damper put upon the enthu-
siasm of a number Of men who hoped
to secure commissions.
Any man at home who desires to cast
his fortunes with the First Colorado
infantry will be given an opportunity
to do SO. In accordance with a decis-
ion of the secretary of war, the volun-
teer regiments at Camp Merritt are au-
thorized to fill in, If they desire to do
30, from eighty-four men in each com
pany up to 1O6, the quota allowed the
regulars. In order to reach this maxi
mum strength the First Colorado in
fantry has room for 301 recruits, 100 in
the first battalion, 101 in the second,
and 100 in the third.
When Colonel Hale found that he
would be allowed to increase the
strength Of his command he called up
on the commissioned officers for volun-
teers to return to Colorado for short
time and recruit. In consequence the
following have been chosen to leave
for the points named as soon as posi-

ion, goes to Pueblo; Captain d. p.
Howard of company G, representing
the Second battalion, goes to Cripple
Greek; Captain F. NJ. Carroll Of COM
pany b. representing the Third bat
talon, goes to Denver.
Each of these recruiting officers will
take with him four enlisted men in or
der to assist in clerical duties and 9th
erwise to facilitate the work attendant
upon the recruiting of SO large num-
Der of men. The recruiting officers,
with the enlisted men and new recruits
will take passage with a subsequent
expedition.

ago.
Washington, June 1O.-Out of the
maze Of doubt and contradiction as to
the dispatch of the first army Of in
vasiOn to Cuba, one thing stands out
clearly, namely, that the government,
feeling strong in its present position
and plan, is moving cautiously and
with the deliberation which 1t believes
will secure success unattended with
disasters. With this main purpose in
view, the army and navy are cooper
ating toward the dispatch of the
troops, some 25.OO0 in number, under
escort Of strong fleet of naval con-
voys, made up of sixteen warships
headed by the battleship Indiana.
Unattended by this strong feet, the
troops might have left last Friday.
when one strong naval convoy was
ready for this service. Since then.
however, reports have come as to the
presence Of Spanish ships in the
north Atlantic. Realizing that moth
ing was to be gained by haste, and
that the war was progressing steadily
towards success, 1t was determined
not to take the one small chance of
having our troops transports menaced
by some scouting ships Of the enemy.
As result. the troops transports have
not proceeded to Cuba, either yester-
day or the day before, as has been re-
peatedly asserted. They are in readi-
ness to go, but will not move until
the naval convoy is ready to accom-
pany them, assuring safe conduct
from Florida to the point of destina-
ton.

This is the season when even the
alarms of war cannot repress the en-
thusiasm of the disciples of genial
Izaak Walton. BY special courier from
the camp Of Grover Cleveland We learn
that the enemy is beginning to accept
proffered bait with avidity and that .
general engagement with terrific
slaughter may be expected within q
few days. The only serious hindrance
to Corporal Cleveland's movement
on the enemy's fortifcations is the
temporary absence of his aid dc camp,

tained a furlough to whip Spain before
he again returns to active duty.

Austria, aside from its rulers, is not
nearly SO Spanish in its smypathies as
has been generally supposed. The
Deutsche Zeitung of Vienna, referring
to this subject recently, says: "The
great North American republic con-
princes and governments who are
steering for absolutism. Were 1t not
for the American union the cause OF
civil liberty in Europe in our days
would be in a bad way" It would
probably surprise most rulers of the
more despotic countries of Europe to
know to what extent sentiments such
rs the above prevail in their domin-
ions.

THE REVENUE BILL.
There IL . Big Job Ahead for the Bursav
of Internal Revenue.


Washington, June 1O-The Bureau
Of Internal Revenue is now busily en-
gagged in preparations for the enforce
ment Of the war revenue bill. Nearly
the entire work involved will fall upon
the internal revenue service, the ex-
ceptions being the bond issue and the
coinage of the silver in the treasury.
The increased tax upon beer that has
been removed from the brewery prem
ises and stored will be collected by
assessment, as will also the additional
tax OF 3 cents per pound imposed on
stocks of tobacco outside Of factory
premises, and the additional tax on
cigars and cigarettes, where such
stocks Of tobacco, snuff, cigars and ci
garettes are in excess Of the exempted
qualities, that is to say 1000 pounds
Of manufactured tobacco and snuff,
and 10000 cigars and cigarettes.
While the collection Of the above
taxes by assessment, instead Of the
an1xing of additional stamps will
greatly simplify the work in this con-
nection, yet there are many blanks to
De prepared, printed and distributed
within the thirty days allowed in
which those interested are required to
make returns upon their stocks on
hand.
The hardest problem presented to
the commissioner, however, 10 the prep
aration OF designs and the printing of
the vast quantity Of stamps which
will be required for the schedules
and B, under which stamps are re-
quired for almost every character of
commercial transaction from the or
dinary banker to the first mortgage
bond Of trunk line railway.
Another problem will be the dev,s-
ing OF methods and regulations for the
taxing and supervising of what IA
known in the bill as mixed four."

J. r. Cravath makes some useful sug-
gestions to owners of electric-light
plants in towns Of 1000 to 5000 in
habitants. Towns Of this size usually
have an electric-light plant, q water
works system, a small factory or two
and a dozen or more small steam
plants Of from one to twenty horse
power. Mr.. Cravath maintains that
there Is ordinarily no good reason why
the electric light company cannot sup
ply power to these varied industries
more cheaply and more satisfactorily
than under the present system of every
man for himself. In other words. the
power generation for the community
should be consolidated under the roof
Of the electric-lisht plant. and the men

That salaries and wages are govern
ed by the profits of business has been
q commonplace Of political economy;
but of late an interposing factor has
been unusually demonstrative In the
character and disposition of the en-
ployer. There are instances where q
sharing of portion Of the profits Of
business has made employees more will
ing. regular and useful. There have
been counter instances where the en-
ployer's hardness has kept his work
men irritable and unhappy, to his in
jury as well as to theirs. Strikes sre
not infreQuently brought on or aEgra-
waited by the arrogance or luck of SYM
pathy OF employers, and there u rea-
son to believe that q comparatively

the superintendent met the represen-
tatives of the workingmen with curses
instead Of conciliation. Workmen are
too frequently hasty in action, and
reckless and unreasonable in their de-
mands. Ordinarily, however, IL they
are met in a spirit Of conciliation, the
first impulse of self assertion soon ex-
hausts itself Reason to some extent
then seeks control. At this point can
did statments by the employer will or
dinarily be candidly received. BY
them the wage-earners may be made
to see more clearly the conditions that
regulate wages. and which. wisely or
unwisely needed. make to their en-
ployers the difference between loss
and reasonable profit that is as Justly
the employers due as are reasonable
wages to the wage-earner. OF course
the cordial acquiescence of the work
ingmen in the statements made de-
pends wholly on their belief In the
truthfulness and moral integrity Of
their employers. Hard, srasping en-
ployers are always distrusted. They
simply reap what they have sown.

warded to Washington. 1t shows an
aggregate of 1,914 officers and men
killed, wounded and missing. The

officers; wounded, 1854, of whom 9s
were officers, and missing 81, of whom
none is an officer, OF the wounded
only 6S have died. Col. Pope, the sur

small number of fatalities. considering
the large number of wounded. In the
field hospitals there has been small
number OF septic wounds, and but two
cases of gangrene have developed, one
of which resulted fatally.
