Kentucky Troops Active.

FRANKFORT KY, April A.-Sunday
has been raw recruit day. in Kentucky
The state guard Of three regiments, of eight
or nine companies each, with only forty or
fifty men in each company, has volunteered
as a body in anticipation of the call ex-
pected tomorrow. They number only about
1850 men, and as Kentucky's quota is over
400, the state guard, which the Governor
has signified will be given the preference,
has gone to work to recruit itself up to
twelve companies in each regiment with 1903
men to a company. BY this means the in
dividual volunteers and small companies OF
volunteers are given chance to go on the
first call and are taking advantage of it
by hurriedly enlisting in the growing state
guard. Outside volunteers expect to be
drawn upon to fill UP the short regiments
and companies when the final formation Of
regiments and the appointment Of officers
begin The adjutant general and Governor
have notified the volunteer colonies Of the
regiments to meet here tomorrow.
Private advices from Washington say that
Adjutant General Collier, because of his
rank and widely-known war record, will be
made the first brigadier general from Ken
lucky.

the greater part of the fighting in Cuba
He added the statement that there was no
Intention of taking the militiamen and new
recruits into Cuba until thoroughly Injured
to the hardships of actual military life. and
that probably the regulars, also, would be
held in this country until later in the sea-

that Admiral Simpsons fleet would take
the first opportunity to form a junction with
Gomez's army, and that there would thence
forth be perfect cooperation between those
two organizations in conducting the war
against the common enemy.
THE insurgents are the best men for this
service at present. said the secretary, land
they can be trusted to do jealous work when
well armed end well clothed"
He said it was his understanding that this
government would furnish the arms and
munitions Of war to fit out several regt-
ments of the insurgents in good shape, and
to put the entire Cuban army in good fight
ing trim.
He would not discuss the reports that he
would resign from the Cabinet shortly.

most taxes, would come out OF the consumer

the consumer being sensible of it, but on

Had No Fear OF Being Intercepted by
the Spaniards.


NEW YORK. April 2-The American line
steamship New York arrived to-day, but
she brought neither passengers, mail nor
cargo. The New York experienced heavy
weather throughout, but otherwise had an
uneventful voyage. Her officers and crew at
no time feared being intercepted by any
Spanish war vessels. She carries a crew
of about 400 all told, including Captain Pas
sow and Chief officer Bradshaw. AS soon
as the ocean liner was moored alongside her
pier all hands were paid off. Captain Pas
SOW his officers and such of the other men,
bers of the crew as desired to serve on
the ship under the new conditions were
signed Immediately by Deputy United States
Shipping Commissioner Baer. Each of them
signed articles with the American Line
Company and not with Uncle Sam"
These articles were for a twelve months
term, to go anywhere and everywhere. The
wages agreed on were the current merchant
marine rate paid by the International Navi-
cation Company, but the latter orally agree
to pay each officer, engineer, fireman, sea-
man, ETC., a bonus of 80 per cent. for good
conduct" at the termination of the period
signed for. All but ten members of the
crew signed and these ten wanted higher
wages
The crew will wear the American line
uniform said Manager Griscomb and
neither the New York nor ST. Louis are to
be altered as far as know. 1 believe that
neither the New York, st. Louis nor Paris
is to be armored for protection, nor, SO
far as I can learn, are they to be heavily
armed, but this is mere conjecture on my
part"
Out of the 400 officers and men compris-
ing the crew of the American liner st.
Louis which arrived here last night, only
seven refused to sign articles when re-
quested to do SO when they were paid off.
Deputy United States Shipping Commission
er Baer said to-day that 413 men have
signed articles for twelve months with the
american line to sail anywhere and ev-
erywhere and no place in particular" as
the commissioner expressed it. The COM
pany agreed to pay bonus Of so per cent.
for good conduct in addition to the regular
wages at the expiration of the contracts.

SPANS LATEST INSULT
AMERICANS COMPELLED TO HELP
TRAMPLE ON THEIR FLAG.
The work of Devastating Cuba Goes
Army.-A Consups Close Cali.

KINGSTON, April 24-The United States
consul at Baracoa, Cuba, Alfredo T. TRAY,
his wife and child. two Spanish merchants
and twenty-five Cubans and Spanish-Amer-
leans, mostly women and children from
Guantanamo, debarked from the Ely here
to-day, after a twenty-four hour quaran-
tine. When the steamer left Guantanamo
on Friday last a Spanish mob, including
many soldiers, filled the public square and
adjacent streets, yelling, Death to the
Yankees" Several American flags were
soiled, torn, trampled and treated with
elaborate uncomfortable indignities. Some
naturalized Americans were compelled to
take part in the insulting work, on the
threat Of death If they refused.
Orders to the Spanish army declaring the
armistice ended were publicly posted at
Guantanamo last Friday. Two days pre-
vious the troops began concentrating at the
principal sea coast cities, abandoning all
the interior towns and plantations, in many
cases burning them. The passengers by the
Ely believe the devastation of that part of
the island will be completed before the
Americans invade the ports held by the
Spaniards. Ordinarily there are two thou
sand Spanish soldiers at Guantanamo. Now
there are seven thousand there. New de-
lenses. earthworks chiefly, are under con-
struction, and the mounting Of field pieces
is in progress. Two rapid-fire two-pounders,
one rapid-fire three-pounder and four an
cient models have been received.
Mr.. TRAY, American consul at Baracoa, re-
ceived letter from Santiago friend dated
April Is saying that the American consul
had left the week before, and advising him
to leave
Mr.. TRAY with his wife and children,
sailed with only two handbags for baggage,
leaving the consulate unoccupied and the
business unprovided for. When he reached
Santiago he claimed the protection of the
British consul, and promptly cabled Wash
ington asking why he had not been looked
after when all the other consulates were
directed to reach Jamaica at the earliest
opportunity. He stayed at hotel in San
tiago for a week unmolested, and then the
British consul got him and his family safe
ly to the Ely Mr.. TRAY says he has been
treated shamefully. AS there is no tele-
graph at Baracoa, he did not know what
was happening on the outside. 1t is as
sumed, as he is an American, that he will
lay the matter before Congress. He does
not know who was to blame.
According to his statement the southern
coast garrisons have been weakened to
strengthen the defenses at Havana Last
Thursday the San Juan sailed from San
tiago with a regiment, and another coast
steamer, pressed into the service by SPAIN
took troops the same day from Mazanillo
for Havana. 1t was reported last Thursday
at Baracoa that the place would be evacu-
ated by 1000 Spanish troops.

IN FAVOR OF PRIvATEERING.
Spain to Organize at Once and Prey
on American Commences.

MADRID, April 24-The royal decree is
that Spain maintains her right to have re-
course to privateering and announces that
for the present only auxiliary cruisers will
be fitted out. All treaties with the United
States are annulled; thirty days are given
TO United States ships to leave the Spanish
ports and the rules Spain will observe dur
Ing the war are outlined in five clauses,
covering neutral flags and goods, contra
band Of war, what will be considered a
blockade, the right of search and what con-
stitutes contraband Of war, ending with
saying foreign privateers will be regarded
as pirates. Continuing. the decree seads:
We have observed with the strictest
fidelity the principles of international law
ard have shown the most scrupulous respect
for morality and the right of government.
There is an opinion that the fact that we
have not adhered to the declaration of Paris
does not exempt from the duty OF respect
Ing the principles therein enunciated The
principle Spain unquestionably refused to
admit then was the abolition of prlvateer-
ing. The government now considers 1t most
indispensable to make absolute reserve on
this point in order TO maintain our liberty
OF action and uncontested right to have re-
course to prtvateering when we consider 1t
expedient.
First, by organizing Immediately force
of cruisers, auxiliary to the navy, which WIZ
be composed of vessels of our mercantile
marine and with actual distinction in the
work of our navy. Following is summary
Of the more important Of the five clauses
outlining the rules Spain will observe dur
ing the war:
CLAUSE 1.-The state Of war existing De-
tween the United States and Spain annuls

PESSIaIIsTIC VIEW.
President All Right, but the Rest of
the Country All Wrong.
New York Evening Post.


Spain is third-rate and declining power:
we are one of the mightiest in the world
We shall never be able to point with
pride" TO this war, as we point to the revo-
lutionary war, or the war of the rebellion
or the war OF 1872, when we engaged in con-
tests which the world believed to be be-
yond our strength or resources. But the
discredit Of attacking third-rate power be
it small or great, will come nowhere near
for the contest. When one thinks of the
blowing, the blatherskite, the mendacity of
the most widely read portion of our press
Of the steady fire of the lowest insults kept
up against an adversary with whom we
meant to engage in honorable, civilized war
fare, by the legislature of the Nation, one
involuntarily asks, Are there no gentlemen
left in American public life?
The one conspicuous person in the whole
pride is the President. He has borne him
self throughout in a manner worthy of his
great station. For this We must be sin
cereiy thankful. He has been moderate
self-restrained, courteous rational. He has
in fact, behaved like a statesman and a
gentleman, and the chief magistrate of a
great people, and, now that our affairs are
sure that our reputation will cease to suf-
fer as it has been suffering. We wish we
could add that, now that we are approach
ing the stern arbitrameEt OF war lying
would cease or diminish. But we can hold
out no such prospect. War is pre-emnent-
ly state of things in which all human
vices flourish are encoura ged. especially
the vice of mendacity. We must be pre-
pared for its exhibition on greater scale
incessant, monstrous and perfectly shame

ALBANY, N. Y, April 24.--Adjutant
General Tillinghast was at his desk at 10
O'Clock and his entire Office force was on
hand at an early hour. The adjutant general
was in constant conference with members
of his staff and the commanders OF the Ma
tional Guard organizations in this vicinity
These conferences We're devoted to the con-
sideration of the questions relative ID the
calling out of the various guard .organiza-
lions as volunteers. BY nightfall the ad-
jutant general is sanguine that all details
to that end will have been settled upon.
and it is believed that If the official call
comes early tomorrow many or the troops
will be well on their way TO the places of
mobilization. No intimation was given as
TO where the state troops will hrst mobilize
General Tillinghast believes that there w3l
be very little detection on the part Of ~
dividuals when the various organizations
are asked 20 volunteer. 1t can be safeE

milton will be taken on. The following Of
ficers of the big liner have accepted APP
pointments as lieutenants, Junior grade:

day she was run into the water from her
berth on the marine railway at Hillman s
shin ward.
