LEEDY WON'T GO.
But the Lieutenant Governor
Will Go to the War as
Major.

lieutenant Governor A. M Harvey
wax today appointed a major of volun-
teeTs by Governor Leedy. This means
that Governor LeedY has changed his
mind and will not lead one of the Kan
sas regiments as colonel.
Governor Leedy first decided to re-
sign his position and turn it over to
Lieutenant Governor Harvey, with the
intention of going to the front col
onel of the third regiment. The COVER
nor was informed by members of his
own party that he would be beaten for
denomination if he went and he has
seen fit to change his mind, and as
Lieutenant Governor Harvey told him
some time ago that he would like a po-
s1tlon provided the executive office was
not turned over to him, he appointed
him as one of the majors.
Thomas G.. Fitch of Wichita, the pres
ent Democratic postmaster, was also
appointed as a major of one of the vol
unteer regiments today. Neither Lieu
tenant Governor Harvey nor Postmaster
Fitch have been as yet assigned to their
regiments.
NJ. Watson. editor of the Hutchinson
Bee, who was secretary of the last SEN
ate, has been appointed principal mu-
sician of the Twenty-first regiment
Watson is a Populist. The place of
principal musician pays a good salary.

LETTER IS KING.
Those Who Contracted to De-
liver Him May Wheat Must
Buy 1t Of Him.

Chicago, May 10.-May Wheat is kept
within bounds by Joseph Letter, for
reasons of his own. It is generally
admitted that he could have let out the
price of May wheat to $500 yesterday
if he had been so minded. Instead,
Leighter brought pressure to bear upon
May wheat which confined the advance
to cents over the high point last week,
or at $1.75. A rush for cover by bears
was one of the features of the market.
Those who have contracts to deliver
May wheat to Letter are compelled to
buy t-of him. as he is the only holder of
aVailab BILE cash wheat. It is unlike the
situation which confronted Letter when
there was still a large amount of wheat
in farmers hands and he is today the
only factor in May wheat without an
opponents. The bears who have not yet
reached cover cannot be regarded as
his opponents, as Letter has them as
securely under his control as it is pos
sible to have them. During the last
week Letters profits must have been
enormous, and from all indications he
will dispose of the wheat not yet
contracted for shipment at a fancier
price than at present quoted.

WHEAT SLUMPS.
July Options Decline 19 Cents
in a Few Minutes.

Chicago, May 10.-A tremendous tenn
porary slump in the price of wheat oc-
CURED today. The fall amounted to 10
cents a bushe1. From 81 25, the quota
tions for the July, the chief option, fell
to $1.06. However, there was a big re-
bound and the closing price was $1.14
It was a market seldom equaled for
Wildness, even in war times.
When scarcity of offerings had push
ed the July figures up to slips, there ap-
peared to come an impulse on the part
of holders to take profits. Liquidation
did not cease till the decline, resulting
from the sales, had carried the market
back to $1.06. The worst of the break
was in the last half hour of trading.
Foreigners were said to have been
among the largest takers of profit; ac-
celebrating the break was a cablegram
saying bakers and mi1lers took no
wheat at Liverpool and that India
would increase it's shipments.

Philippine Insurgents Are
Butchering Spaniards.
Neither Women Nor Children
Allowed to Escape.
THE ADMIRAL KILLED
While Trying to Escape Into
the Country.
Dewey is Unable to Hold Them
Down.

london, lay 10.-A special dispatch
from Shanghai says it is reported there
that Admiral Montejo, commander of
the Spanish fleet, who escaped from Ca
vite by running along the shore to Ma
Mia with his two sons, was killed by
the populace of the latter place.
1t is added that the hospital of San
Rogue, filed with Spanish soldiers, was
set on fire by shells from the Boston,
and that sisters of charity were killed
while removing the wounded.
Massacres are reported to have occur
red outside of Manila, the insurgents
butchering even the Spanish women and
children.
Hong Kong, May 10.-A fresh exam
pie of Spanish treachery seems to have
come to light. 1t is said here that the
priests and the sisters of charity of the
Cavite hospital, in a procession bearing
crosses, ETC., petitioned Rear Admiral
Dewey not to massacre the sick and
wounded, which naturally he did not
do. The Spaniards, it is asserted there
upon thanked the Americans for their
humanity and repaid them by inform
ing them of a narrow channel, which
they said was not mined, while the
broad channel, they explained, was fully
mined. An investigation upon the part
of the Americans, however, revealed the
contrary to be the case, and the mines
were blown up by the sailors Of the
American fleet.
Rear Admiral Dewey, it is said here,
finds the insurgents growing dangerous.
It is added that he cannot control them
nor can he enable the Spaniards to do
so. There is one japanese Warship at
Manila

DIAZ INTERPRETERS.
Neither Volunteers Nor Supplies for
Spain Can Leave Mexico.

Austin, Tex, May 1O.-Rev. U. D.
Powell, a Baptist missionary, who for
the past seventeen years has resided in
ToIuca, Mexico, arrived here today from
that place. He states that few days
ago a military company of thirty-two
Spaniards was formed at Toluca for
the purpose of going to Cuba. They got
as far as Vera Cruz when their depart
ure was prohibited by President Diaz.
The Spaniards of the City of Mexico
contributed 5000, 600 to purchase provis-
ions for the Spanish army in Cuba
The provisions were purchased and
shipped to Vera Cruz, to be loaded on a
chartered vessel. When the whole lot
had reached Vera Cruz, President Diaz
ordered that they be not shipped out of
the country.

GOV. LEEDY RIGHT.
He Can Commission Any officer He
P1eases Reg gardless of Pensions.

vice an officer. Governor Leedy held
to the contrary, and telegraphed Sec
retary Alger about the matter. The
telegram to Lieut.. Clarke was the re-
suit.
