AN ARMY OF 10000.
Will be Ready to Go to Cuba Within
Ten DAYS.

Washington, April 22.-With the act
ual beginning of war, military and nav
al preparation have been vastly slim
ulated. The navy has bought ship
and a number of yachts. 1t has secur-
ed some more material and renewed or
ders for haste in the construction or
guns. Orders were sent to the squad
ron to guard their movements and pre-
liminaries of a blockade were execu-
ted.
In the war department all arrange
ments have been made for call for
900 volunteers to be chosen from the
national guard. The strategy board OF
the department has looked over and
perfected the plans and efforts have
been begun to provide for sub-system
of coast patrol by the state authorities.
Movements of troops, began day or
two ago, have been changed by direc-
ton of the department in some re-
spects to meet the condition of the
moment at southern posts, but in gen.
eral there are indications that the de-
partment is acting with the purpose of
concentrating no less than $4,000 men
at the gulf ports within the next ten
days, ready for embarkation to Cuba.

found a few flowers there, on the shady
side of some rocks, which 1 pressed
and brought home with me. HOlStein-
berg was Lieut.. Peary's headquarters.
He Travelled from there on foot over the
ice 600 miles to the farthest point he
reached. During the summer the days
are nearly "A hours long as there is but
a short time during the day that there
is any darkness, and that is not very
dark. During the dark months the
moon shines so bright that it is nearly
like day but it is dangerous to travel
over the ice by moonlight as it is impoS-
sible to distinguish a precipice in the
ice. We were situated due east of Els
mere1and where Greedy and his party
spent their awful time. We visited the
headquarters used by the Hall expedi-
ton.

Lieut.. Peary is now organizing a small
party to go to the Arctic again for three
to five years"

ABOLISH BOARD OF PARDoNs.
Giving It's Time to Case That Ought
Not to Be Considered.

The case of George w Rogers, who
was sent to the penitentiary for burn
ing the records of Harvey county
shortly after giving up the office of
county clerk, is to be given further con-
sideration by the state board of par
dons as a result of the efforts of Mrs.
Rogers. The board passed adversely
on the application for pardon a year
ago because of a protest signed by 200
citizens of Harvey county, but Mrs.
Rogers says that 100 of the signers of
the protest are now willing to with
draw their names.
If Rogers, however, is not to be Sc
verely punished, what is to hinder the
next man who wants to burn down a
court house or destroy the records of
20 years If such crimes are only to
receive two or three years punishment
every criminal in Kansas will reckon on
an easy escape when he plans a crime.
Abolish the board of pardonS.

PACIFIC COAST Is SAFE.
Admiral Kirkland Says He Can Hand
le ANY Force Spain Will Send.

Mare Island Navy Yard, Cal, April q e.
1--WE are prepared today to capture or de-
stroy any force that Spain could possibly
send against the Pacific coast, said rear
Admiral Kirkland I'm the first place,
the Spanish government has no vessels in
the Pacific waters nearer than the Philip
pines. We have greater force there
than Spain, and can easily take care of
the opposing fleet
The next possibility lies in sending a
fleet through the Straits of Magellan.
Even if Spain had the ships, they would
be practically useless after they got into
the Pacific through the lack of coal.
I'VE have two monitors, the Monadnock
and Monterey, that are more than a
match for any vessel in the Spanish navy.
Besides these two, we have the Ben
nington and Mohican, which are now en-
route from the Hawaiian islands. The
Charleston will be in commission by May
l. and if it were necessary we could have
the Georgetown and Philadelphia in fight
ing trim by the first of June.
What I rely upon largely to complete
our coast defenses are the ten vessels re
Gently acquired Anot .er valuable ad-
junct to our Pacific coast defenseS is the

TO WAIT FOR MILITIA.
Regulars May Be Held at Chicka-
manga Some Days.

Chattanooga, April 22-Five and per-
maps more of the infantry regiments
New Orleans, Mobile and Tampa will
pitch their tents on the Chickamauga
battlefield. Acting on orders received
from Washington, Major General
Brooke, has telegraphed to the COM
handing officers of all the regiments
which have not already gone by Chat
tanooga, ordering them to proceed here
at once. Arrangements were also en-
tered into with the different railroads
centering at this point for the prompt
moving to Chattanooga of the infant
ry men who arrive at junction points.
The Twelfth infantry, from Fort Mo
brara, Neb., on its way to New Orleans,
was diverted at Nashville and will be
the first white infantry regiment to be
encamped on the Chickamauga battle
field
The Second infantry, from Forts
Keogh, Harrison and Yates, Mont,
which passed through ST. Paul yester-
day on the way to Mobile, will be di-
verified at Nashville and come through
to Chickamauga without stopping,
probably reaching here Sunday morn
ing.
The Nineteenth infantry, from Forts
Brady and Wayne. the Twentieth, from
Fort LeavenwOrth, Kans., and the
Twenty-second from Fort Crook, all
bound for Mobile, Ala, were also COM
municated with and by Saturday a good
sized army will have gone into camp at
Chickamauga.
cavalry and artillery men who have
been ordered to Chickamauga were en-
camped on the battlefield. Late in the
evening the number already camped
there was swelled by the arrival of de-
tachments of the Second artillery and
the first cavalry.
BY tonight it is expected that large
portion of the troops now their way
to Chickamauga will have arrived.
1t is apparently the general opinion
that no forward movement of the
Chickamauga troops will be given for
some time, as the gathering and equip
ping of the large force of militia, neces-
sary for the contemplated Cuban inva-
sion will necessarily consume several
days.

TAX ON CHEWING GUM
May Be Substituted for the Proposed
Tax on Coffee.

Washington, April 22.-Although no
decision was reached at the session of
the ways and means committee yester-
after the Republican conference broke
up that sufficient revenue can be raised
without resorting to tax on tea, cof-
felt, petroleum or a stamp tax on rail-
road tickets. 1t is likely that a tax will
be placed upon mineral waters, ginger
ale, etc, and upon various other ar
ticles, like chewing gum.

No event of recent years has Gre
ated more comment or aroused more
interest as the God directed work OF
the marvellous healer, Professor Rus
