UNDER THE SECOND CALL.
Some States May Not Send Any Vol
unteers

washington. May 29.-Adjutant Gen
eral Corbin said today that it had been
definitely decided to use about $4,000
of the volunteers to be raised under
the new call in filing out deficient
regiments already organized under the
old call. 1t would take about that
number, he thought, to fill each com
pany up to the maximum limit OF 1obO
men. The remaining $4,000 will be or
eanized into regiments of three bat
falions each and distributed among
the states and territories in exactly the
same proportion as under the flrst call.
No cavalry. however, would be accept
ed. and only a very limited number OF
artillery.
About 20 governors of states and ter
ritories have replied to Secretary Al
GERS telezrams. asking for their views
regarding the filing of the present vol
unteer regiments to their maximum
strength before beginning the forma-
tion of new organizations. Some or
these indicate preference for the re-
cruiting of entirely new regiments, as
under the first call, leaving the present
organizations with the number OF men
,7o7v contained in them, though practi-
callv all promise the government any
amount of troops that are wanted. 1t
Is the presidents desire, however, that
the organizations already formed snail
he filed to their strength, as the law
provides, and this policy will be carried
out in recruiting under the second call.
The apportionment to the states has
been made up, but not yet given to the
public. Through urgent representations
TO Secretary Alger some of the states
were permitted, under the first call, TO
furnish a greater number OF troops
than they were legally entitled to on
the basis of population. Consequently,
in raising the 5000 men under the sec
ond call, these inequalities will be rem
edied as far as practicable. with the
result that some of the states may not
he called on to furnish any of the men
needed. This course, probably, may give
rise to discomfort, but it is regarded as
the only fair way to proceed

The arrival OF the squadron under

The squadron has disembarked 500
men, artillerymen and engineers, and
landed 10000 Mauser rifles, great
quantity of ammunition and four big
guns destined for the Notifications. In
spite of the strict silence maintained
by the officers and crews, the general
impression was, when the Italians left,
that the squadron would set out for

circumstances of the situation are ex-

base of attack on Havana

There is a nicke-in-the.slot machine

Out of the many who "feeP' the ma

is the person who is lucky enough to
strike the pot. The other evening the
machine was being run overtime, but
the lucky man had not as yet touched
the lever, and the pot was fat and was
being fattened fatter as the time sped
along All the players but one had be-
come disgusted or had ''gone broke"
One individual still tempted tickle fortune
who was most obstinate and refused to
smile, so to even matters up the player
smiled and smiled again.
He had couple Of coins left and upon
these he pinned his faith, and the wheel
went round. The first coin produced
nothing; but the last and best released
the imprisoned coins and a perfect de-

'DELAXARE' UNKNOWN RAGE

to No Distinctive Race.
GEN EALOGY BY JUDGE FISHER
African Named Requa Married al
Irish Widow and Their Offspring
Intermarrying With NanticOke
Indians Formed a Dis
tinct Race.
GEN NEALOGY BY JUDGE FISHER

In the hundreds of Indian river, Lewes
and Rehoboth and Dagsboro ARE a
numerous class OF colored people, COM
monty called yellow men, and by many
believed to be decendents of the Indians
which formerly inhabited Delaware.
Others regard them as mulattoas and
still others claim that they are OF Moor.
ish descent. From the fact that so many
of them bear the name Of Sockum. that
term has also been applied to the entire
class Of people.
OF the genealogy of these Moorish
Indians Judge George S. Fisher formerly
on the Delaware bench, said: "About one
hundred and fifty years ago cargo of
slaves from Congo river was landed at
Lewes and sold to purchasers at that
place. Among them was tall, fine
looking young man about five and
twenty years old. This man was called
Requa, and was remarkable for his
manly proportions and regular features,
being more Caucasian than African.
Requa was purchased by young Irish
widow, having red hair blue eyes and a
fair complexion. She afterwards mar
ried him.
cat that time the Nanticoke Indians
were still quite numerous at and near
Indian River. The offspring of Reqna
and his Irish wife were not recognized in
the white society, and they would not
associate with the negroes, and they did
associate and intermarry with the In
dams.
''This statement was made on oath OF
Lydia Clark at Georgetown, in 1855, in
the trial of the case Of the State against
Levin Socknm for selling contrary to law,
powder ard shot to one Isaiah Harman
alleged to be a free mulatto. The ques-
tion upon which the case turned was
whether Harman really was free null
alto, and the genealogy of that race Of
people was traced by Lydia Clark, then
about 81 years OF age. who was OF the
same race of people.
"The court was so well convinced 'of
the truth of Lydia's testimony that
Sockum was convicted of the charge pre-
ferred against him.
"Thls race OF peope are noted as peac-
able, law-abiding citizens, good farmers,
and are known as Moors but without any
foundation. The name Requa or Regua
is now handed down as Ridgewav."
Levin Sackum, who was convicted as
told by Judge Fisher, tor years kept a
business stand at the head OF Long Neck,
where Henry GrooAle afterwards traded
and since 1873 John A. Lingo, the pres
ent State Audltor-elect of this State.
The exclusiveness spoken of by Judge
Fisher continues to the present time.
This class of people maintains its sepa-
rate social life (so far as it is possible to
do so) seldom intermarrying with the
negroes or mulattoes. They support
separate churches and are today support
ing their own schools owing to the neg.
lect of the recent constitutional conven.
tion to provide for them. Special legis
lation will be necessary to grant appro'
priations of school moneys to these
people.
The number in the county is diminish
ing, owing to removals and natura
causes, but enough remain to make it g

They were allowed to return TO Rua1le
in 1850, and some fifteen thousand did

Russia to another until few years ago,
never being allowed TO remain longer
than six months in any one place. By
this means their number has been re-
duced to ten thousand.
Tolstoi's admirers in England and this
country have determined to do all Ia

schemes, arrived yesterday morning and
is now in Rhinebeck, N. Y, to make

GYMNAsTIC PRACTICE.
Work of . Delaware Avenue Cenduc.
TOE Which Warmed Him Dur
ing the Cold Snap.

The cold snap last week was heartily
welcomed by the conductors on the Del
aware avenue line at least.
. The crowded condition of one particu-
lar car caused one conductor to fairly run
from one end to the other thus keeping
warm. The car was almost empty when
it started from Eighth and Market
streets but it filed rapidly.
The car when it left Tenth and Market
streets was 50 crowded that several pas"
sengers were forced to get on the front
platform. This made things just about
as lively for the conductor as they could
be.
First he rushed in from the back door
and grabbed the newspaper mans fare.
Then he scooted back to the rear plat,
form, pulled a couple of women aboard
and showed them into the Car.
Meanwhile another woman sitting by
the front door was wildly waving for the
conductor to stop the car, which he
finally did and meekly took scolding
for not doing it sooner. He had swung
himself along the side to help the woman
off and next appeared in quest OF the
fares of the two women he had helped
on. While he was getting these a man
climbed on in front and the conductor
next chased out to get that fare. AS he
departed wary woman, who saw that 1t
was his busy day and that he n light not
get back soon. asked him to stop at
Madison street, it being three blocks dis
tant.
The Woodworking conductor banged
out OF the front door, got a fare from the
last man, slowed down to let another
drop off. rang to go on again, gathered
in woman and baby at the next corner,
stopped at the next and appeared at the
front part of the car breathlessly shout.
ing: -,
woman" with a blank look around,
"that wanted to get off at Madison
street ?"
"Off," somebody volunteered briefly.
Clang, clang On again, but alas be-
ing in the front doorway the conductor
had failed to see that man was trying
to get on to the rear platform. The car
started with jerk and sailed off, leav-
ing the man on his knees, physically,
but making remarks which did not tit
the attitude. The conductor looked
back, sighed and went after the nickel
of the woman with the baby. And so it
went. He pranced in at the front door,
snatched nickel on his way to the
back door. When somebody wanted to
get off the front end he was sure to be
getting fare on the rear platform and
vice versa He hustled himself from
door to door and side to side, rang bells,
kept track of streets, made change,
scooted in and out and around the ends
as if he was playing game of foot ball,
and hard one, too.
