baby a natural reaction. Such oscilla-

considerations all make for peace, where
as sentimental considerations, which have
powerful influence on the Spanish mind,
tend in a precisely opposite direction.
Though some members OF the Cabinet

undue prominence to the anti-peace SEN

susceptibilities. ii cannot be supposed that
an experienced politician like Senior Sa-

OF the situation as a whole, would drop

GOV. LEEDY'S CALL
For Kansas Troops Will Be Is
sued ON Monday.

Governor Leedy today made public
his arrangements for calling the Kan
sas volunteers together. He will issue
his proclamation Monday morning.
The apportionment for volunteers will
be according to congressional districts.
The call for $4,000 men gives Kansas
three regiments, and each congression-
al district will have to contribute four
companies of 100 men each.
The number of recruiting stations in
each district will equal the number of
companies to be raised, and will repre-
sent the most convenient points within
the prescribed territory. Recruiting
officers and surgeons will be at once
appointed and sent to the respective
towns. Only able bodied men between
the ages of q and As who are physical
~ sound will be received as volunteers
under the instructions of the governor.
The men of the respective companies
will be given the privilege of electing
their officers from sixth corporal to
captain. Every battalion of three COM
panies will be in command of a major,
and these appointments will be made
by Governor Leedy.
AS soon as the call is received Gov
ernor Leedy will at once set to work
selecting the recruiting officers and sur
geons and designating the recruiting
stations in each congressional district.
All details of this nature will be con-
tanned in his proclamation when is

A MASTER STROKE.
Gov. Leedy's Appointment of
Fred Funston So Regard
ed by Politicians.

The appointment of Fred Funston to
be colonel of the First Kansas regiment
of volunteers is looked upon as a
shrewd political move on the part of
Governor Leedy.
OF course Governor Leedy won't ad-
init that politics cut any figure whatev-
er in the appointment, and simply says
On reference to it:
81 appointed Funston because he
served two years in the Cuban cause
and knows what fighting on the island
means. If he had been Democrat
or a Populist L would have appointed
him just the same. I considered he had
the best claim for the appointment be-
cause he was a Kansas man who raised
himself from a private to the chief of
artillery in the Cuban army. If there
ds any other man who has as good and
as reasonable a claim in this state am
not acquainted with him."
Nevertheless Governor Leedy today
realizes that it is the most popular
move he could have made as far as the
majority of the people of the state are
concerned. Republican politicians re-
gard it as a very shrewd piece of work,
and are already feeling alarmed over
the possibility of Governor Leedy's
war record placing him in office by
an overwhelming majority for two more
years. While Governor Leedy's expla-
nation is very reasonable in the light
OF Fred Funston's connection with the
Cuban cause, it is a happy coincidence
Cor him that he is the son of a Repub-
AGan eA-cOnSreSSman ana prominent
candidate for governor in the coming
campaign. Some even go so far as to
say it will win 10000 Republican votes
TO the fusion ticket.
The only dissatisfaction heard is
among the Populist state officers some
OF whom say that the appointment of
Funston is a, direct slight to many
prominent Populist ex-soldiers who
came out of the civil war with honors
and who have the ability for the posi-
ton.
This feeling can only be accounted for
by the suppoSiticn that the state Off

rebound to the interest of Governor

QUESTION OF COAL.
It is Serious One and Much Depends
on EngIand's Action.

Washington, April 23.-The navy de-
partment is prepared to take immedi-
ate advantage of any action of con-
gress in the direction of providing for
coal depots and has already outlined
plans for the establishment of such de-
pots and has aScertained the feasibility
of stocking them at very short notice.
The attitude of the British government
upon the question of making coal con-
traband is awaited with keen interest
in naval circles. Operating for the
south of Cuba, as our ships must nee
essarily do if anything like a complete
blockade is to be maintained, the prob
lem of supplying them with coal is a
question of the greatest Importance.
This may be done extensively and I'M
certainly owing to the danger of forage
by the neemy's ships, through the use
of steam golfers sent from the United
States.
1t is highly desirable however, that
in an emergency our ships may have
the opportunity to draw upon some of
the British coal supply in the West
Indies. 1t is believed however, owing
to the guarded manner in which Mr..
Balfour replied to the direct question
as to governments making coal CONTRA
band that Great Britain will adopt a
formidable course. She will probably
refuse to allow the war ships of any
of the combatants to take on a full
supply of coal at any British point.
But on the other hand she will proba-
bly, allow any such ships arriving at
her port short of coal to take on a
supply SuI1ciehl 10 take lHe1n 70 their
next port, thus applying the common
rule of neutrality.
The decision of the British govern
ment that the Spanish cruiser Audaz
now under repairs at Queenstown, can
not be detained under the neutrality
laws, is not without some benefit to
the United States, inasmuch as we
now have the torpedo boat Somers.
