companies not yet mustered into the

for orders to move to the front.
There are twenty-four companies of

London, May 1.-THE Rome cores

clearly unequal to the difficulties of
the situation and great anxiety pre-
walls in political circ1es.''
The Rome correspondent of the
Daily News, in the course of a dis
patch, large portion of which was
evidently suppressed by the censor,
says:
1.-The problem is much wider and
more deeply rooted than the question
whether the cabinet is to remain OF

b1ameable. The responsibility mus,
be laid on the system which for a
quarter of century has ground down
the country. The attack is an attack
npon the unity of Italy.
"Two cabinet councils were held to
day and ministers were unanimous in
the resolution to stick to their posts
and continue the policy of repression
at all costs. Perfect calm prevail.

The ST. Mary's bank. a small but
well trained organization, followed
the fire department. and made music
for the fraterna1 organizations which
succeeded it. These were the Modern
Woodmen of America and the Ancient
Order of United Workmen.
The Reform school contingent,
which followed next, was feature of
the parade. Their band, under the
direction of Prof. Gorm1ey, headed
their line.
Next in line was the G. A. r. Divis-
ion and veterans of 1861, most of them
grizzled and bent, and not a few of
them crippled and wounded. Many
a crutch.
Pence's cornet band of Elmont led
the third division, and furnished the
music to which the feet of the 5000
volunteers marked time.
Close following the band was Major
General McCrum aud his staff, mount
ed. After them were the three regi-
ments of volunteer infantry, headed
by Company B (the Kansas City COM
pany) of the Twentieth infantry.
+ Only six of the companies were uni
formed, the remainder being either
partly SO or in citizens clothes.
The parade followed the prescribed
line of march: North on Kansas
avenue to Gordon street, then counter
march to Ninth street, thence wester-
ly through the state house grounds via
the south portico of the Capitol to
Harrison street, passing in review be-
fore the Governor and other officials
of the state and cities OF Kansas.
AS the last of the volunteers turned
off Kansas avenue towards the Capt.
tol, about 100 school children followed
them, waving United States flags and
shouting: Commodore Dewey aveng-
ed the Maine, and the Kansas soldiers
will do it again.
After passing in review the Govern
or's stand at the south entrance of the
state house, the recruits returned and
massel in front of the reviewing stand
to hear the Governors address and
receive the stands of co1ors presented
to them by the ladies of Topeka.

st. Louis, Mo.-A special to the
Globe Democrat from Washington
says: Senator Cockre11 of Missouri
called upon General Miles today after
the bulletin assigning the state troops
to the different camps of mobilization
had been issued. He asked General
Miles whether or not the division of
Missouri's force between the camp at
Chickamauga, the camp at Washing
ton and the camp at Jefferson Bar
racks meant that Missouri was not
to have brigade in any of the army
corps, and consequently was not to
have a brigadier general. General
Miles informed him that was exactly
what it meant.

MAY ATTACK
DEWEY.
Spain May Resort to an Attack
en- the Philippines.
Is Massing Her Fleet at Madrid for One
Final Struggle. And May Conclude
to Abandon Cuba.

New York, May IA dispatch to
the Herald from Madrid says: Since
the news of the arrival of the Cape
Verde fleet at Cadiz and the massing
OF all Spanish war vessels in Spanish
waters, it is the general belief here
that combined attack on the Philip
pines is contemplated. 1t is figured
by Spanish strategists that it would
be impossible for the United States to
re-enforce Dewey in time, that Cuba
can better be left to care for herself
pending one sepreme effort to dislodge
the Americans from Manila.

Europe, have unofficially exchanged
views on the opportuneness of the
moment, dictated by the most friendly
spirit and in the interests of peace, to
ward urging upon Spain the futility
of further prosecuting the war and in
ducing her to sue for peace on the
basis of the REIMBURSEMENT of Cuba,
the promise of a war idemnity, and
the occupation of Manila by Admiral
Dewey until the war indemnity is
paid. 1t was stated tonight by one of
the most influential members of the
diplomatic corps-an Ambassador
that such step by Spain was the log
ical result of the crushing Spanish de-
feat at Manila and that Spain herself
should be the first to recognize it as
measure of her own self protection
and self preservation. Her best friends
in the family of nations ought to urge
it upon Spain, this Ambassador said.
and were 1t not for the chaotic condi-
ton of affairs at Madrid, he felt that
such peace overtures would be welcom-
ed there. With Spain politics in their
present disordered state and a revo1u-
ton impending, he did not know
whether the men at the head of the
government were strong enough and
brave enough to save Spain by hero
ic sacrifice of her pride. Unless they
did, he said, the disaster of Manila
would be repeated, for it was now
patentto the world that Spain's mill
tary and naval strength was grotes-
quely inadequate to cope with the for
ces of the United States, and Spanish
pride would ultimately be hum bled in
to peace on far more severe than the
best terms she might be able to OBJ
tain now.

When the finance committee ad-
journed Tuesday the consideration of
the war revenue bill had been almost
completed, although there were some
puzzling problems still unso1ved, one
of which was the manner of dealing
with proprietary medical articles.
There will probably be uniform tax
on all of them. The committee has
decided to place license upon bank
ers at the rate of 500 year and upon
brokers at the rate of $50, but has not
yet determined whether the profess
sions shall be licensed or not. On life
insurance companies, the rate has
been increased five fold, being made
10 cents on every hundred dollars, and
it is estimated that this increase will
add about million dollars in revenue.
The provision for an inheritance tax
and for tax on bills of 1ading were
both adopted, as were the provisions
for taxing all dealings in futures, in
Guiding bucket shop operations. The
bill as it will be reported will contain
provision requiring that memoir
andum be made of all deals of this
character, however small, and that a
z-cent stamp be placed upon this
memorandum.
The democratic amendments will
be taken up tomorrow and there is
very little doubt that they will be
adopted as Senator Jones New has
indicated his purpose of standing with
the Democrats on all the principal
changes they suggest.

spondent of the Daily Mail says:
Admiral Bcrmejo, minister of Ma
rine, denies that the Cape Verde
squadron has returned to Cadiz. He
affirms that this fleet is at the present

ing to the instructions given it,
Washington, May 15.-The War de-
partment has made public a CO rected
list of the volunteers who have been
ordered to San Fransico. They in
clude the following:
Wyoming battalion of infantry.
Colorado-One regiment of infantry.
Kansas-One regiment of infantry.
Montana-One regiment of infantry.
Nebraska-One regiment of infantry.
Utah-Two batteries of light artillery
and one troop of cavalry.
North Dakota-Two batta1ions of in
fantry.
Idaho-Two battalions of infantry.
The Governors of the states are in
formed that these troops should pro-
ceed to the coast as soon as they are
mustered, armed and equipped. If
they are not fully equipped, but suffi-
ciently so to travel, the War depart
ment officials suggest that it is best
they so and complete their equipment
at San Francisco, The presumption
is that a number of these men will be
sent with the expedition to Manila, al
though it does not follow that all will
go, as some will remain 10 take the
places of those of the regular army;
who, because of their experience in
actual military operations, will be
sent across the ocean.

ions of section 1903 of the revised
statutes, the thanks of Congress and
of the American people are hereby
rendered to Commodore Geo. Dewey,

the President might nominate Com
modore Dewey to the highest position
in the navy within his gift and that,
too, was passed without dissent. In

retary of the Navy to present to Com
modore Dewey a sword of honor and
to have struck, in commemoration of
the battle of Manila, a bronze medal

For thirteen years Mrs. George L. Rogers,
of West Main Street, Canton, n. Y, Suffered
from the Undesirable torttsr2s of inflam-
matory rheumatism.
Only persons VINO have been afflicted
with this disease know what such safer
ing is.
Those who have never felt the pangs Of
this a11nent have not the renotest idea Of
its tortures.
For years this was an obstinate disease
TO Cure.
In recent years, however, there has been
formulated remedy which successfully
copes with it.
The many cares effected by DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People attest to that fact.
One Of the striking examples is Mrs.
Rogers experience.

Thirteen years ago was attacked with

ton of diseases.

during that time.

They were distorted, twisted and swollen.

that the big toe lays across the others, the
end touching the little toe.
