VOLUNTEERS, ATTENTION!

A movement has been started to
raise a complete regiment of II CON-
panies, consisting entirely of Scandi-
navians. Such men as Gen. Chr.
Brandt, S. E. Olson, Bernard Hage,
Fl. J. Hjertsen and John Steenerson
are now actively engaged in its organ
ization. Hundreds of prominent men,
including Senator Nelson, are giving
their support. Already 800 names are
on the muster roll; many of these are
of men who have served in European
and American armies. 1t will be mod
eled after the 18th Wisconsin, which
became so famous during the Civil
War. Able-bodied men of Scandi-
navian parentage: who wish to take
an active part in the war, will now
have an opportunity to enlist. Men
from the country are especially de-
sired. Those who are interested will
nlease enlist men in their community
and forward names to me at once.
The regiment will be commanded eth
er by Lieut.. Knudson OF the regular
army, now at Mobile, or by some
other experienced officer. When the
second call comes, recruits from Kan
diyohi county must be ready at mo-
ment's notice to meet in Willmar,
where transportation will be provided
to the regimental camp. Owing to its
very strong backing, this regiment of
1000 officers and men, hopes to be one
Of the iirst called out. r .,,~.
Communications should reach me

PLOT TO RAID DAWSON STORES Tale of a Daring Con- spiracy Brought by
 a Klondiker. Says Roughs at Circle City Have Organized a Rob-
 Der Band.
Was Compelled to Take Their Oath but Succeeded in Making His
 Escape.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

VICTORIA, April 24.-O. S. Cham passenger from Skaguay on the steamer Ningchow, tells an extraordi- nary story of a secret society formed by crowd of the rough element of Circle City with the avowed object of raiding the stores of the North Ameri- can Trading and Transportation Com pany and the Alaska Commercial Com pany at Dawson.
 Chamberlain says he left Circle City about ten weeks ago, and two weeks prior to leaving he was approached by two men who lived in the cabin ad- joining his and asked if he would not like to join a crowd which had a scheme for making a big haul. In an- swer to all his queries as to what the scheme was the two would say nothing more than wait and you'll sec"
 The night following they came into his cabin and took him to Lidstones saloon. He was conducted into a room at the rear, and there he found about twenty looking characters One, whose name was given as Corey, announced himself to Chamberlain as Illc leduel u llIt SOClSly, dIlC dShcQ DlIl if he knew what would happen to him if he broke his oath. In reply he said he had taken no oath.
 Well, you will" said the leader Hold up your hands,"
 Chamberlain demurred, demanding an explanation, but on seeing several revolvers pointed at him, he put up his hands. The leader then repeated an oath, which Chamberlain says was, as near as he remembers, as follows:
 You, who are about to join the Raiders, promise that you will render every assistance in our scheme and that you will not divulge what you will hereafter hear"
 Chamberlain then put down his hands and the "scheme" was explained to him as follows: The society was to go to Dawson, and at night, when only the watchmen were at the store, one half would go to each store, blow open the safe and steal as much gold as they could. Dog teams were to be in readi- ness for the flight of the party.
 Chamberlain left hurriedly soon af- terward and says he was pursued for some distance after leaving Circle City by some of the party. Chamberlain s story is given credence by some of the Dawsonites now here, but the major ity of the passengers discredit it.

VALENCIA, April 24.-To-day's war demonstration here surpassed in strength and in patriotic enthusiasm anything witnessed in this country within the memory of man. The city turned out en masse. More than 100, ,0O0 persons of all classes-the poorest and the richest, side by side--marched under thousands of national flags to swell the note Of fierce defiance to what is termed American aggression which now vibrates throughout the land. The gentle se--, arrayed in the classic mantilla and decked with flowers and ribbons of national colors, outrivalled their brothers in bellicose ardor
 Some venerable relics of Spains past glories figured in the procession. Among them was the standard that was borne before Don Jaime, the Conqueror when he besieged and took Valencia from the MoorS nearly seven .enturies ago, and a fac simile of the flag carried by Don Juan de Aust at the memorab ble battle of Lepanto.
 The most conspicuous notices were: "War to the nd and No Quarter: Long Live Privateering," and Don't Buy Anything From the English
 The dry basin of an ornamental foun- tain en route was utilized as a recep- tacle for contributions to the war fund. and continual shower of silver, bank notes and humbl bronze coins flowed into 1t as the demonstration filed past

SANTA BARBARA'S MAYOR
 TALKS OF DEFENSE.
Believes His Town Should Be Pro- tected Against Attacks by
 Spanish Craft.

SANTA BARBARA, April 24.-Yes- terday Mayor Burke wired the Cover nor, asking that two 6-inch disappear ing guns and suitable number of small arms be shipped to Santa Bar bara for the defense of the place. MT. Burke is the first municipal magistrate in the State to call for an armament for defensive purposes. In conversation to-day he said:
 We are at war with one of the mon archies of the Old World; there is no longer any question about it. The time for action has arrived, and While we are far removed from the scene Of hos tilities, the fact remains that port san ta Barbara is in a defenSelesS condi- tion. Realizing that the Channel City affords excellent opportunities for the encroachments of Spanish privateers, l deemed it important to communicate with Governor Budd and make an effort to secure armament. l asked for two 6-inch disappearing guns, other pieces of ordnance and 250 stands of arms. I fully appreciate the serious ness of warfare; yet, inasmuch as the United States and Spain have actually begun hostilities. naught now remains but that every citizen of this republic should do his utmost to vindicate her honor and punish treachery.
 Not all can take the field, but pa IFlOJlSIn mas @ way TOT the 0uInD DleSL citizen to lend some aid in the impend- ing conflict In a perilous time like this an unprotected seaport like Santa Barbara should be provided with a means of defense. At present the proper course to pursue would be the mounting of ordnance on Diblees Hill and Booths Point, both of which over look the channel.
 "As we have several hundred able bodied men ready to arm and drill, we need have no uneasinesS after we re- ceive from the Governor arms and per mission to organize. With two compa- nies of home guards and three heavy guns no privateer would be able to eff feet a landing here. In my judgment similar action shoul4 be taken by other coast towns in this State.
 Our proposition was promptly trans nitted by his Excellency, the Governor, to Adjutant- General A. w. Barrett, and we believe that it will be favorably acted upon. We have in this city many ex-offfcers and soldiers who are ready able and willing to prepare for the de fense of Santa Barbara. Old warriors consider it not unlikely that Spanish privateers may be fitted out on this coast in some South American port We expect that a division of the State militia will be stationed here, and il will be the province of home guards tc SJpnort if 't

DAVIS DECLINES THE
 PORTFOLIO OF STATE.

WASHINGTON, April 24-While there is every reason to believe that Secretary Sherman contemplates re- tirement from the Cabinet at no very distant date the indications now are that the change will not take place im- mediately. He declined to discuss the queston to-day, intimating there was more in the newspapers concerning his intentions than was justified by the facts
 There is no doubt, however, that the President. considers the Secretary's re- tlrement among the probabilities He discussed the contingency with some or his callers to-day, and it is under stood that Senator Davis was asked whether, in case there should be a va cancy in the Secretaryship of State, he would favorably consider ar, invitation to fill it. and the Senator replied in the negative. It is also understood that the Minnesota Senator's reason for taking this position is the fact that he prefers his position in the Senate, and, considering himself reasonably sure of reelection decided to remain where he is.

FROM
 THE SPANIARDS How Naval Officers Are Rewarded for Captur-
 ing Vessels.
Cash Consideration Depends Upon Whether the Foe Is of
 Equal or Superior Strength.
At Any Rate the Officers and Crews in the Navy Win Reap Rich
 Re wards.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
Call Office, Riggs House,

Washington, April A.
 Secretary Long has received from Rear-Admiral Sampson dispatches telling of the capture of several of the spanish merchantmen, which are to be held as prizes and to be disposed of ac- cording to law if the protests made against such seizures are held to be without ground. Judge Advocate Gen eral Lemley, the law officer of the Navy Department, has been looking up the statutes on the subject, and is prepared to assist the Secretary in any way necessary. The law provides that the condemnation proceedings in the matter of prize vessels shall be conduct ed under the supervision of the Dis trict Courts. It is made the duty of the commanding officer of the vessel making capture to secure the docu- ments of the ship and cargo, and send them, together with certain witnesses from the captured vessel, to the Dis trict Court in which the proceedings for the distribution of the prize money are to be had. The attorney for the United States is to promptly file a libel against the prize property and take other proceedings necessary.
 The evidence is to be taken by prize
 
 number, one of whom is to be a naval officer, and at least one of the others member of the bar of not less than three years standing and acquainted with the taking of dispositions. If the sale or; the prize is ordered the gross proceeds are to be deposited with the Assistant Treasurer of the United States at the place nearest to the sale subject to the orders of the court. The court is to make a decree of distribu. tion, determining what vessels are to share in the prize, and whether the prize was of superior, equal or inferior force to the vessel or vessels making the capture. The net proceeds of all property condemned as prize shah when the prize was of superior or equal force to the vessel or vessels making the capture, be decreed to the captors. This provision was evidently put in the law with a view to encouraging yes sels' captains to exert their greatess effort when meeting foe of superior or equal strength. as the same section of the law provides that when the prize vessel was of inferior force to the cap tors one-half of the net proceeds is to be decreed to the United States and the other half to the captors. Tn cases where the amount in controversy ex- ceeds $2000 an appeal may be taken to the Supreme Court.

PHILIPPINE
 INSURGENTS
 ARE ACTIVE

TACOMA, Wash, April 24.-Hong- kong advices received to-day, per steamer Braener to Astoria, state that the present Philippine Island rebellion is rapidly spreading to all important provinces. A month ago the insurgent leaders and their sympathizers in Hongkong came to the conclusion that the United States would soon be at war with Spain. They have accordingly been preparing to strike Spanish rule in the Philippines to the quick when the most favorable time sho1ld arrive The situation at Manila is described as almost one of consternation. Spanish merchants, half castes and rich na- lives are selling out and leaving Ma nila and other seaports. Some of the latter sympathize with the insurgents and will aid them from Hongkong and Annoy.
 The establishment of a Philippine Junta at Hongkong is probable. such a plan being under consideration. It practically exists now under the man. agement of General Aguinaldo and other leaders, who were hired to leave the islands in January The excessive IoAdtiOIl OllSlS OIle ehCuSc lOl lue pres ent outbreak All the natives are re- fusing to pay the increased taxes levied in order to pay off the immense debt incurred in crushing the last rebellion, ending three months ago. Zambales, Tarlac and Pangasinan and adjoining provinces are in open revolt, and emis- saries have been sent into the southern provinces.
 Last month the insurgents made a renewed attack upon the Spanish camps at Apalit and Subig, defeating the Spanish troops and capturing a large quantity of arms, ammunition and supplies. In the north of Luzon some insurgents were captured and or dered executed. The rebels gathered quickly and rescued their comrades. The victorious insurgents then proceed ed to Bolinao, where they cut the Spanish cable and destroyed the lana lines connecting the cable station with Manila. This has greatly interfered with Manila's business and had the important result of demonstrating that the insurgents were again able to go about and do as they pleased. The in- surgent leaders greatly hope that the United States will aid them to secure independence as one means Of punish ing Spain. A month ago there were five Spanish cruisers, five small gum boats and three troop ships at Manila, and the Spanish cruiser Reina Cris- tina at Annoy.
