City Star signed "F. V" who has been
touring the state of Kansas and writ

uliSts in Kansas are asleep, while the
republicans are wide awake and ag-
gFsssive. He predicts the election of
Stanley by 10000 majority unless the
populists wake mp and bestir them

There seems TO be a hitch in the

mission. The dOns have exhausted all
their arts of diplomacy to secure the
assumption Of the Cuban debt by the
United States. But that don't 90 with
the American commissioners, and the
report is current that the dOns may
withdraw from the conference. The
Philippine question has not even been
reached, and the war may not be over

take, and many think that President

EXCITED WASHINGTON.
Bureau Officials Had to
Lock the Doors.

Washington. May THE city was
thrown into the widest excitement at
breakfast this morning by the issue of
extra papers announcing the arrival Of
the McCulloch at Hong Kong with dis
patches for the government from Com
modore Dewey. The publication of
newspaper dispatches telling of terrible
mortality among the Spanish and the
escape of the American forces, men and
ships from serious injury added to the
excitement and to the intense satisfac-
ton with which the long expected news
was received.
There was an instant rush of news
paper men to the navy department to
secure further information from official
sources, and perhaps dismayed by the
number and impetuosity of the newspa-
per contingent, the officials of the navi-
cation bureau, where cipher dispatches
are Transcribed and translated, prompt
ly closed and locked their doors against
invasion. One of the officers of the bu.

San Francisco. May THE official
report of Admiral Dewey's triumph at
Manila created the widest enthusiasm
here. 1t is now regarded certain that
troops will be sent from here to aid
Dewey, and preparations will soon go
on with a rush. The First regiment of
volunteers has already been sworn in
and is in camp at the Preside. The
Seventh regiment will arrive from Los
Angeles this afternoon, making in all
1000 volunteers Immediately available.
The steamer City of PeEin, which has
been chartered to take the troops to
Manila, is due here today, but has not
yet been sighted. Upon her arrival she
will land her passengers in quarantine
at Angels island and her cargo at the
dock.
This probably will take two days.
Then she will be taken to Mare Island
navy yard, where she will be loaded
with ammunition and supplies for Dew
ey's fleet and temporary quarters for
troops will be erected. It is hardly pro-
bable that the Pekin will sail for Ma
Mia before May 15.
