LETTER.

From our Washington Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, April a3, 1893.
Glory hallelujahl The scales
have dropped from McKinley's eyes:
Americans are to have an opportun-
ity to avenge the Maine, and Spain
is to he whipped out of Cuba.
This was made certain when Me-
Kinley signed the joint resolution
adopted by Congress authorizing
the use of the army and navy and
the militia of the several states to
drive Spain out of Cuba, and for
warded an ultimatum to Spain de-
manding the immediate evacuation
of Cuba, and giving notice that un-
less satisfactory answer was
received by Saturday he should pro-
'ceed to carry out the provisions of
the resolution. The nature OF the
answer was made known in advance
by tine Spanish minister's demand
ing his passports and leaving Wash
ington, after notifying the Depart
ment of State that the French Am
bassador and the Austrian Minister
had been authorized to act jointly
in looking after Spanish interests
in the U. S. Sothat no matter when
or where the first gun may be fired
the U. S. and Spain will be consid-
cred by themselves and the rest of
the world as at war with each other
ON and after Sunday.

stonewa,i Jackson. Names.kc.

Stonewan jackson Atkins, a young
man from Towner county whose fight
ing name evidently covers qualities OF
the same sort, has applied to the local
land office for leave Of absence from
his homestead, the southwest quarter
of section 81, township 157, range G6,
for the purpose Of entering the army.
His application is dated April % and
is the first of this character received
at the land office. He states:
.That he desires to enlist In the U.
s. army to engage as q volunteer III
the Spanish-American war. Therefore
he asks the honorable register and
receiver of the U. 8. land office to
grant him q leave of absence of one
year from May l, 1893, to May l, 1899,
and longer should ne be still in sucl,
service"
The local officers have granted Mr..
Atkins the leave of absence desired
and will protect his claim SO far as
rests within their power. He couldn't
give a better excuse. Mr.. Atkins is a
son of Capt. G. j. Atkins, the we'll
known Towner county pioneer.

american Securities Abroad,

The sales of American securities
have been, according to London
advices, very large abroad of late. II
this state of things holds, there will be
an increasing influx of British gold
into this market. This demonstrates
the faith abroad in the stability of our
credit. There is another point offaith
for which the people not only OF this
but foreign countries have good
grounds for credence, and that is be-
lief in the efficacy Of Hostetter's

ANassy blaze.

Smoke was discovered issuing from
the roof Of the me story frame build
ing occupied by Miss Jessie Pattie's
millinery store Tuesday morning
about 10 O'Clock. Jack Cavanaugh
discovered the lire and promptly
sounded the alarm, but it was some
time before the fire department. got to
work with a satisfactory supply Of
water. Owing to repairs in progress
at the tank at the artesian we'll, the
engine was taken to the cistern at the
corner of Fourth street and Arnold
avenue. This was soon pumped dry,
after which the engine WIS taken to
the cistern at Fifth and Kelly. The
wind was blowing from the south
at the rate Of probably forty
miles an hours and there was
great danger that the fire would
spread to the buildings on tho north.
At one time Ere started on the roof Of
Garner & Cleveland's warehouse, but
it was soon quenched by the bucket
brigade. II this building had gone,
the INTER OCEAN. office, Hobjer's flats
and everything as far north as the city
limits would undoubtedly have burned.
The building where the fire started
was owned by Knut Thompson, of
Findley, and has been though three or
four fires heretofore. 1t has been
patched and re-patched until little
semblance of the original structure
remained, and these patches made it
very difficult to get at the fire. When
subdued one place it would break out
somewhere else and finally it was found
necessary to pull the greater portion
of the building down. There was no
insurance ON the building.
Miss Pattie was fortunate enough to
save almost all of her stock and fix.
lures. This is the second fire she has
been through within the past two
months.

The apportioning Of i've troops Of
cavalry as North Dakota's quota Of
the 10, 600 volunteers called for BY the
president has evidently been arranged
under . misapprehensioa of the
militia organization OF this state and
the existing conditions here. From
all reports It is the desire Of the war
to bring into the service
the organised militia (nationh guard)
'6rst, which is right and proper, and q
call for q battalion Of infantry could
have been filled at once by the present
organized companies, as there are
enough applications on file with every
captain to all each company to its
maximum strength. The call for
cavalry will put everything at sea
The present organization Of the
national guard contains an adjutant
general, inspector general, surgeon
general, commissarv Of supply, q staff
too numerous to mention, q troop Of
cavalry, a two gun battery Of artillery
and ten companies Of infantry.
The battalion Of cavalry called for
should consist Of amajor, five captains,
five first lieutenants, five second lieu
tenants and 40 enlisted men to each
troop, in all GIG men, and while there
is no doubt that the majority of the
organized companies would volunteer
at once for service as cavalry, the train
ing they have had will be Of little
service to them and the necessary
training and equipment will take con-
siderable time to at them for service.
Ifit is desiredthat each trooper shall
furnish his own mount--it will be
some time before the North Dakota
volunteers see service. In the greater
part Of North Dakota q saddle horse
fit for service is a rarity. 1t is con
templated that the volunteer army
shall be organized into q corps to be
commanded by a major general, the
corps to consist of three divisions,
each commanded by q major general.
Each division to consist Of three
brigades, to be commanded by briga.
der generals. Each brigade to con.
sist Of three regiments. AS the North
Dakota contingent is less than half Il
regiment, there is little chance of any
rank higher chan that of major o,
possibly lieutenant colonel falling to
