find Admiral Dewey's squadron lined
up of Cayite ready to receive them.
Company B'sOppOrtunity is at hand:
the second call for volunteers allows
anybody to enlist, and independent
companies will be accepted In bodies.
Now let Co. B show its patriotism.
The war has reached the railroads.
The Santa Fe and Missouri Pacific
have dissolved diplomatic relations
and grand scramble for contracts
for hauling troops is imminent.
An injunction has been filed in the
supreme court OF Oklahoma to stop
the work on the Alva normal. The
petition sets up that the contract for
the building is illegal, and that there
is an omission In the bond.
The failure OF certain southern
states to furnish the men required
under the presidents first call for vol
unteers, is not assigned to lack OF
patriotism, but TO the scarcity Of
white men who are unable to leave
their business.
The youngest volunteer" has
broken into the telegraph. He is
Douglass Dodge, youthful runaway
aged I years, found slowed away on
the City Of Sidney. When the young
warrior was put aboard a tug to 70
ashore, he "fOught stubbornly" the
big deck hand who had him In
charge.
War news condensed: Thirty thOus.
and stands of arms have been loaded
on the south coast of Cuba for the in
surgents. -. 1t is stated that the ex-
traordinary war council has decided
upon land and sea attack on Havana
at once. .Ceryera is reported to have
escaped from Santiago de Cuba. The
navy department is believed to have
definite news TO that effect which ii
will not give out. If the Spanish
fleet is really hemmed in at Santiago,
Inventor Holland may be given a
chance to 90 in and attack the fleet
with his submarine boat. In the
event he should successfully do this,
the attention Of naval experts will be
devoted in the future to the develop
ment Of submarine vessels. ;. Gov.
Leedy has asked that Kansas be al
lowed to send two more full regiments
to war. .Germany's neutrality in
this war is pretty much Of farce:
She has recently sold to Spain the
North German Lloyd steamer Havel.
Germany'S action in dispatch
ing two war vessels to the West Indies
is not looked upon favOrably. .. 1t
can be positively stated that there
will be no invasion of Cuba until Ger
vera is definitely located. The
American troops on their way to
Manila will be Toasted at Hawaii.
Hawaii wants to climb into the band
wagon. The newspaper strategy
board is about to employ balloons tC
locate Cervera. The rainy season
in Cuba has just begun. -. President
Mckinley has appointed Major ]. X
Hudson Of Kansas, a brigadier geu
eral. Col. ROOsevelt's cowboys
ought to be disarmed and sent home
During mock cavalry charge at SaI
Antonio, Tex, last Wednesday the
cowboys became frenzied with excite
ment and rushed their horses into
crowds OF women and children, firing
revolvers furiOusly and recklessly, in
Turing number of persons. q. . Buffalo
Bill is now getting his advertising
free: he has placed 400 Of his horses al
the service of the U. S. government
Spanish guns at Manila have beer
turned landward: the insurgents art
threatening the city. The power:
have ignored SPANS note inviting
them to protest jointly against the
Cuban blockade. Jerry Simpson ha:
asked Gov. Leedy to commission him
as colonel OF a Kansas regiment.
The optimism of the Spaniards is to b,
admired: the Dons at Santiago went
wild with joy when Cervera's feet ar
rived. The second call for volun-
teers is to I'll up incomplete regiment:
and create reserve army, hence fewer
jobs for officers than was expected. =.
Another Spanish lie has been started
that the Philippine insurgents are
enlisting In the Spanish army. The
Oregon has left Jupiter Inlet, Fla.
to join Sampson and Schley's fleets
The second call for volunteers has
paradoxlcally, revived the talk Of
speedy war termination. England
has again manifested her friendship
for your Uncle Sam by warning tn,
government Of SPANS plans to coal Ii
Canada. Canada Is nearly as fal
away from Cuba as the Canaries, but
the bow is acknowledged. The gov
