DISASTER FOR SPAIN.
NO HOPE OF ESCAPE FOR THAT

II Is Alleged the Queen Regent Has
Made Another Appeal to the

Madrid, May n Correspondence of the
Associated Press. )--Late tonight the cor
respondent of the Associated Press had an
interview with Don Nicolas Salamero
Alonzo, the famous republican leader
thinker, philosopher and relormer He
thinks Spain is heading straight toward a
big disaster and sees no hope of escape.
The voice Of the people is unheeded, for he
holds that II elections were really free a
large republican majority would be now
sitting in the cortes. Whatever party is
in power can always command a majority
by means of methods he thought too well
known to need Standardization. Hence
the people resent not being represented in
the cortes. But when this lethargy now
reigning is dispelled, he thinks the results
may be very different. A destructive cam
paign, in his opinion. will bring this to

Washington June o.-The question Of the
expedition to Porto Rico has become per-
ceptibly more interesting since the return
here today of Captain Henry c. Whitney
from his perilous scouting tour through that
Island and Cuba. Captain Whtney's pro-
motion awaited him from a second lieuten-
ancy and it is now even eagerly suggested in
army circles that Captain Whitney will be
among the leaders OF the Porto Rican ex-
petition.
That the nature of Captain Whitney's re-
ports to the department will virtually de-
crease the number of troops hitherto de-
signed for Porto Rico seems logically be-
yond question. The war department. | was
informed today. has been calculating upon
at least $4,000 Spanish troops in Porto Rico
The report of Captain Whitney cuts this
figure down to something like 1000, 1000 Of
whom are volunteers and considered to
have only lukewarm loyalty to Spain.
Meanwhile the formation of the Porto
Rlcan expedition goes forward. The pro-
gramme as printed In the Herald and Post
several days ago has not yet been changed.

SUMMONED TO HELENA
Omcers of the Volunteers Must
Stand Examination.
WAS AN UNEXPECTED CALL
No Intimation Was Given and tho Boys
VIII Have . Kick Coming II They
Are Not Permitted to Have
Their Own Omcers.

There was much uneasiness I'm mill
tary circles here last evening. The
cause Of the unrest was the fact that
the officers of the regiment have been
summoned to Helena for examination
as to their fitness for the offices they
hold. In compliance with this order.
Harry G. Kessler. colonel; G. s. Shoe
maker, lieutenant colonel. and Byron
H.. Cook, major. left for Helena last
evening, and will be examined there.
The to examination vas
certainly not expected by the officers
of the regiment nor by the company
officers, and there was much specula-
ton INDUCED in last evening in regard
to the matter. Judging from the ex-
pressions heard at the armory last
evening. 1t is pretty evident that the
boys want their own officers. IL
they are removed and others substitute
ed IL Is pretty certain that there will be
a general revolt The boys are willing
and ready to obey orders after they
enlist, but they have served under the
present regimental officers for years,
n they want 20 follow them to the
war instead of strangers. No intima-
ton had been given that any
ton would De required, ana tnat WdS
what led some to hin last night that
the examination is to be particularly
rigid, and that there is a cat-hop be-
hind IL all. The boys, however. will
await events. They were free to ex-
press their dissatisfaction at their Off
GERS being called to Helena for exam
ination, but will await the outcome of
the examination before taxing any ac-
ton. 1t is not believed by the COM
pany men hat the officers of regiment
in other states have been submitted to
examination. At least, nothing OF the
sort has appeared in the reports. The
examination will be by OFF,
GERS of the regular army.
The recruits were drilling hard last
evening, and most of them are catch
ing on quickly. The new men are no
so particular as to their Officers, but
the old militiamen are not pleased with
the idea of changing officers.
Captain John Hallahan of Anaconda
was i'm town yesterday recruiting men
for the new Anaconda company. The
Dillon company will also have some
men from Butte to fill up its quota.
The order to move on Helena has not
been received. but 1t is expected as
soon as the question of the regiments
officers Is settled. The company will
probably assemble in Helena Thursday
or FRIDAY.

WIND WAS IN WOODLAND.

The wind was in the woodland and the
quail was I'm the corn
In the southern sunny land of happy
childhood long ago.
And the perfume of ten thousand flowers
fioated ON the morn,
While the mock-bird shouted loudly
high above the bayou's flow.
The sun shone softly, brightly, and the
cloud ships sailed along
An evenbending. radiant, quiet won

And the negro's vibrant voice rang out
in happy hearted song
In the fairy. airy days, Sweetheart, Tar
gone from me and you.
We wandered hand i'm hand across the
meadows covered deep
With blossoms white and blossoms red
and leaves of darkest green,
We watched the bumblebee's sweet quest,
the dragon fiy's long leap.
And listened to the yellow breasted field
lark's carol keen.
And now and then the wood doves mel

Gray coated ourne for "A love whose
chains were made of sand
Told of the lonely life she lived I'm some
wood isle remote.
And We two pitied her, Sweetheart. Tor
children understand.
Sometimes we crept along the bank to
watch the black bass fash
His meteor way above the pebbles In
the river cool.
Or saw the fshhawk's Greetings cease be-
fore his downward dash.
OR heard the bittern's boom roll out
above the CLASSY pool.
The red bird was a govt of blood
splashed on the branches nigh,
The yellow hammers iron bill scr,
smote the moaning pine.
The king bird. warning always, was a
knight of valor high,
For you were only eight. Sweetheart

Maysville, KY, January 19.-News
of the suicide of Miss Harriet Keith
Owens, on Monday, at Crab Orchard
farm, the home of her father, Basil
D. Owens, near Washington, reached
here last night. Miss Owens had been
in poor health for some time and had
to give up her school on, that account.
She rested unusually we'll Sunday
night and seemed very cheerful, eating
a hearty breakfast. She read the ac-
count of the shooting of ex-senator
Joe Blackburn's daughter, Mrs. Lane,
with much interest After reading
about the shooting she went to her
brothers room, and securing his pis-
tai, placed it to her temple and fired
the fatal shot. Death was instan-
taneous. Miss Owens was one of the
brightest girls in the county, and the
Owens family is prominent one
The tragedy is widely deplored
