MADRID, May 25.-There is little com
ment on the fact that M. Schevitch, the
Russian ambassador to Spain, was the first
member of the diplomatic corps to call on
and confer with Duke Almodovar de Rio,
minister of foreign affairs, after he took
the oath of office yesterday. The approach
ing visit of Mr.. George j. Goschen, first lord
of the British Admiralty, to Gibraltar, has
created stir. The newspapers urge the
government to construct batteries on the
heights dominating Gibraltar, but it is as
serted. semi-ofiicially, that the government
will not commit an unfriendly act against
England so long as there is no proof of an
Anglo-American alliance. If, however, such
an alliance should become an accepted fact,
the government would be constrained to
adopt measures to secure the country
against the dangers of invasion"

PLYMOUTH, Ind, May 25.-The statement
that the Indiana Novelty Manufacturing
Company, of this city, had made an assign

ence is incorrect. The company has not
made an assignment and knows of no reason
why it should do so. On account of the tenn
porary embarrassment of one of its large
customers the company was obliged to place
mortgages upon its property. These mort
cages secure a large amount of contingent
indebtedness, for which it was liable as in
dorser, which the company has every reason
to believe will be paid by the original max
ers of the paper. If this is so, the amount
of the mortgage will be reduced to about
SGT 600 which it has three years to pay at

which security is given is valued at S1S5 900,

PRINCETON, Ind, May 25.-The Repub-

comprising the counties of Gibson. Warrick,
Posey, Pike, Spencer and Vanderburg. met
here to-day and nominated Hon. James A.

The delegations from the various counties

and were escorted to their headquarters by
the Princeton Band. They met in caucus be-

Congressman Hemenway would have con-
siderable opposition, but his forces were
strongly organized and, shortly before noon.
Hon. A. J. Clark, of Evansville, who had
already expressed a desire to withdraw from
the race in favor of Mr.. Hemenway, made
a public declaration that he would not al

$4,000 Now Mustered In.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Adjutant Cen
eral Corbin announced tonight that 115,600
of the 125,000 volunteers called for by the
President four weeks ago had been mus
tered into the service of the United States.
All of the regiments comprised in the first
call will be by the end of the present week,
it is thought, in the permanent camps.
Over two-thirds of the States have entirely
completed their musters. The failure of
some of the States, notably four or five in
the South, to furnish the men called for
up to this time is a surprise to the army
officers on duty here, but is ascribed not to
a lack of patriotism, but to belief prob
ably shared by many of the national
guardsmen who had home ties and bust
ness connections which they could not we'll
afford to give up, that plenty of other per-
sons not so incumbered would readily be
found to take their places. Ample time will
be given the States referred to to fill the
apportionment made by the War Depart
ment, and the expectation here is that this
will be accomplished without further I'M
/. necessary delay Should any of the States
default, the probability is that the fact will
be reported to Congress formally by the
secretary of war for such action as may be
deemed best under the circumstances. No
resort can be had to draft measures without
explicit authority therefor from the ma
tional legislature.
