INDIANA,s CAVALRY COLONEL.
Col. John A. kress Here, 1t Is Be-
lieved. to Assume Command.

Col. John A. Kress, of the United States
army, who is stationed at ST. Louis, ar
rived last night at the Bates House. Col.
Kress denied that there was any official
significance in his presence here. IF 1 had
known you were a reporter" said Colonel
Kress, 'T would not have told the boy to
show you up, as 1 have no news. / sup
posed it was Mr.. Sherwood who wanted to
see me. did not look at your card very
closely" 1t was gathered from this that
Colonel Kress came here to confer with
been talking of organizing a regiment of
cavalry and who have rendered the COM
mand of the regiment to Colonel Kress. 1t
was understood that he would accept the
command.
Colonel Kress was stationed here in 1856
and has very pleasant recollection or In
iianapolis. He expressed surprise at the
great improvements that have been made
since that time.

WITH WHITE CAPTAINS.
War Department VIII Not Change It's
Order for COIOred Troops.

Order for COIOred Troops.
When w. T. Durbin returned from Wash
ington last Sunday with the information
that the plans of the War Department had
been changed with reference to the forma-
ton of a colored battalion with it's own
officers, and that Indiana would most likely
not be called on for more than two COM
panies with white officers. the Governor
took steps at once to ascertain whether this
order was final He telegraphedsto Colonel
Higgins, at Louisville, who is recruiting
the regiment there. Colonel Higgins wired
the Governor that he could accept but two
companies, with white captains only. The
Governor then telegraphed to President Nc
Kinley to find If there was not some way
that this determination Of Colonel Higgins
could be modified. Last night he received
reply indicating that nothing can be done,
Adjutant General Corbin telegraphing him
as follows:
Your telegram to the President concern
Ing the captain of the companies in Colonel
Huggins'S regiment is received and l am
instructed to inform you that the scheme
to have the captains of the regiment white
mon and the lieutenantS colored was adopt
ed after much consideration and 1t is hoped
that you will see your way clear to approve
of the plan that is matured after much
careful consideration. This has been ac-
guessed in in the case of other companies
and you can see that an eruption in the case
of the two companies to be raised in In
diana would lead to dissatisfaction through
out.
'I. c.. CORBIN, Adjutant General
While the reply of Adjutant General Cor
bin seems to be in the nature of an ulti-
matum it is understood the efforts to get
something more for Indiana will not be
abandoned. 1t is admitted that If an ex-
ception were made in favor of Indiana there
would be a good many unpleasant compli-
cations in the formation of the regiment,
as other States that are to be drawn on
would naturally feel that they ought to
have similar consideration and the result
might be TO disrupt the entire organization.
Secretary Wilson thinks this State will
not furnish any companies for the colored
regiment If this plan is followed for he
believes the men who have formed COM

Captain Black, the United States recruit
ing officer here, received Geographic in
structions yesterday to enlist men for the
hospital corps with the understanding that
they were to be sent to the army corps
in which Indiana regiments are assigned.
The inference is that they would, as far
as practicable, be assigned to service in
the Indiana regiments, although there are
but one steward and three privates in each
regiment the remainder being attached TO
corps, reserves, etc. Originally the War
Department detailed Lieut.. Petersen to en-
list hospital corps men. but that work will
now be done by Captain Black The hos
pital corps men are to enlist for three years
as privates, but will be mustered out at the
end of the war If they so desire.

young officer whose expert evidence
was an important feature of the Maine
Court of Inquiry, has distinguished
himself again. Mr.. Powelson COM
manded the gun which disabled the
Spanish torpedo boat destroyer Ter
ror, recently, by one of the most re-
markable shots in the naval history of
the war. His gun also fired the shell
from the st. Paul which exploded di-
rectly over a Spanish cavalry force on
shore, scattering them in all directions.
Ensign Powelson, when war was de-
clared, was transferred, at his request,

THE PILL THAT WILL.

"Will any other man try it? We
must fix 1t, boys, for the flag can't fly
until we do"
Two or three men said that they
would do it willingly, if they could,
but they were sure they couldn't climb
a quarter of the way up. Then the
young soldier, who had been sulking
because his application for leave had
been turned down, stepped forward and
said:
Lieutenant, | made application for
forty-eight hours leave yesterday and
it was refused l want that leave bad
ly, and If you'll promise to get it for
me I'll make stagger at this job. l

the Lieutenant, but I'll promise to do
my best to obtain it for YOU"
That's satisfactory" said the SOL
dier and moment later he was going
up the pole, the end of the broken hal
yard tied around his waist. He went
up very slowly. resting every few feet
and finally reached the top. His COM
panions below were too scared to ap-
plaud, for the top Of the pole was bend
ing first one way and then another In
the gale, and it looked as though the
young soldier might be blown from his
perch any second.
But he wasn't. He was earning that
ch-desired leave, and he succeeded
in slipping the end of the rope through
to the pulley block and bringingit down
with him. Then he was allowed to
haul up the flag himself, while the
other soldiers cheered him. Thorough
ly exhausted, he went back to his quar-
ters, where, an hour later, an orderly
handed him paper, informing him
that, on the recommendation of Lieu
tenant Blank, seventytWo hours leave
Of absence had been granted to him
