of the men, after which they take the
oath of allegiance for two years, or until
the end of the war. There were many
touching scenes at the Springfield armory
as the men were sworn in. They took the
oath with right hands uplifted and heads
barred The silence as this ceremony prog
ressed was deep and impressive. Men
who had failed to pass the physical exam
nation were marched into the officers
quarters, that they might be spared the
pain of seeing their comrades pass into
the volunteer service while they remain
behind. Those who failed to pass broke
down entirely and many of them wept
like children. Generally big, fine-looking
chaps were refused for one reason or an
other, and they gathered around their Off
GERS and with streaming eyes begged to
know why they had been rejected.
The first company to be mustered into
the United States volunteers of Illinois
was l. of the Fifth Infantry. These men
came from Peoria. Company G of Pekin
was the next TO take the oath, and G Of
Springfield the third. The regiments
mustered in the following order, seniority
of colonels being the test of precedence:
The Fifth, first; the Third, second; the
Sixth, third: the First, Col. Turner in
command. fourth; the Second, Col. Moul-
tons command. fifth; the Seventh, Col

There are 5,40O men in camp, and some
idea of what it takes to supply their wants
may be had from the following issue of
rations for Il single day: Fresh beef, 9,3T5
pounds; pork, l $50 pounds; bread, includ-
ing hardtack and fresh loaves, 9,17O
pounds; beans, 675 pounds; rice, $40
pounds; coffee, 5G3 pounds; sugar, 1,125
pounds; tea, 80 pounds; salt, 1S0 pounds;
pepper, 33 pounds; potatoes, 4,500
pounds; cabbage, 1850 pounds; pickles,
200 pounds. The beans are furnished
ready baked and the coffee comes to the
camp roasted and ground. Besides these
edibles nearly all the men buy pies and
fruit from peddlers, and none suffer for
any of the necessaries of life. Many do
their own cooking, but majority hire
colored men to do it for them. Their
cooking utensils are limited to pots and
frying pans, and the cooking is done in
the open air and often when the dust is
flying.
The order to close the saloons and road
houses within one mile of the camp had
been ignored by the liquor venders, and
Gen. Mckee ordered detail of sixty men
to visit places and close them. The de-
tail acted promptly and the dealers were
notified that forcible possession would be
taken of their places if they were found
open again while the camp is in exist

quickly established.

RIOTERS SHOT DOWN.
SPANISH MOBS ASK BREAD, AND
GET BULLETS.
Violent Demonstrations Are Report
ed Throughout Embellishments

Stoned by Hungry Crowds.
Many Killed or Wounded.

Dispatches indicate that the crisis In
Spain has become intensified. The queen
regent is rapidly losing the little popu.
larity she has, and is now insolentls re
ferred to as that Austrian woman" Ii
is believed she would Quit Spain d. once
should she believe that slic.l step would
promote the interests OF the infant king,
Meanwhile the trouble in the provinces
increases and the rioting may become a
revolution. Thus far number of per
sons have been killed and wounded and
several buildings wrecked In The finan-
clal world all is chaos. Runs on banks
everywhere prevail, and the funds with
drawn are being boarded. The Speech
of Lord Salisbury in London enrag ge,l the
Spaniards. They discern that with En-,
gland in sympathy with America the
other European powers win hesitate Ia
act for Spain.
The outlook in Madrid grows darker
every hour that passes. Reports Of rloi
pour in from the provinces, anl in most
cases there has been bloodshed. 4 ,e-
riaus disturbance occurred at Caceres,
and still more violent demonstration
took place ut Leon, where large crowds
of women and children paraded the
streets crying, Give us bread or work. -
These paraders We're joined by large
numbers of men, and the disorder became
greater. The mob stoned the restaurants,
provision shops, and the houses of mer-
chants, breaking doors and windows and
seizing everything they could lay hands
on. The civil guard called upon the
crowd to disperse, but the demand was
refused, whereupon the troops fired a
voiiey into the mob. A mob of 10000
persons rioted at Helquist and plundered
houses on all sides. The police fired into
the crowd. Eight thousand miners, who
are on strike at Murcia paraded the
streets shouting Death to the thieves
Down with the octroi dues" The mob
tried to set fire to the railway station and
a number of other buildings, but was not
successful. The mob then marched on
Cartagena, but was intercepted by
troops, who fired upon and wounded sew
eral of the rioters.
All these disturbances are due to eco
nomic causes, to the great dearth of
wheat and the consequent advance in the
price of bread, and the closing of fac
tories and workshops, owing to the COM
plete paralyZation of trade and the pro-
hibitiye prices of coal and raw materials.
The government is adopting drastic meas
ures to keep food in the country. A bill

operation, totally prohibiting expDr: of

President Dole has sent n long COIN

ing to President Mckinley, offering to
transfer the Hawaiian islands to the
United States for purposes of its war
with Spain, and to furnish American
ships of war in Pacific waters with large
quantities of coal, supplies, and ammuni-
tion. This action was unexpected in
Washington. There is a general senti-
ment in Congress favorable to the ac-

correspondent says that when it is for
mally received it is probable that the
President will send to Congress mes

Third las been assiduous in that J;ue. Ey-
cry man in the regiment is almost as good
shot as the trained sharpshooters en-
listed in the civil war. While the Third
leads, the Second is close second. and
the Fourth and First are crowding the
others. When it comes to field officers,
on the other hand, military experts rath-
er give the pass to the First, though
neither of the regiments has cause to
grumble in this regard, and neither win
admit that any other badger regiment ID
