oLEAN's PATRIOTISM.


Support Provided For Volunteers Who
Had Families Dependent ON Them.
When the presidents call for volun-
teers was issued, the members OF the
Forty third Separate company OF the
national guard. organized at Olean, N.
Y, at once took under advisement the
question of volunteering. The only se-
rious objection raised by any member OF
the company was the impossibility Of
providing for the support Of family
from the small pay allowed by the gov
ernment to it's soldiers. Many members
of the company had families dependent
upon them for support. The citizens Of
Olean were equal to the occasion. A
committee Of gentlemen was appointed,
to whom all members of the company
were invited to state separately and in
confidence their financial needs in case
they should give up their employment
to enter upon this war for humanity. 1t
was found that more than one third Of
the members Of the company could not
enlist without doing injustice TO their
families unless some provision should
be made for their support.
A sufficient number Of responsible
citizens mt once pledged themselves In
writing to pay monthly the sum re-
quired for the support of the soldiers
families for the full period Of two years,
that being the term Of enlistment. The
result was that the company left for
Camp Black with its full complement
of men, and many applications for en-.
listment had TO be denied. A recent
visit TO the company in camp has con-
vinced the writer that this treatment Of
their families by the citizens Of Olean
has given 60 the men a morale which
they could not have II forced by the de-
pendence Of their families to choose be-
tween duty 10 home and duty TO country.
The motto Of Olean In this work was

session Of the United States.
Secretary Alger made a feeling re-
eponse. He said that IL would give him
pleasure to grasp the hands OF loyal and
defend the flag and make sacrifices for
the country's honor. Comrades of the
last war were passing away and another
generation was coming to the front to
take up the cause OF our country. and
they would yindicate its honor. Sacri-
fices would be made. lives would be lost;
but blood shed in the cause OF humanity
was well shed. Wherever our army was
called. II would establish q record in his
tory as II had In the past. and our troops
would pass over the ramp6rts OF the
enemy and would be victorious.
The secretary concluded substantially
as follows: II thoroughly believe that
an overruling providence is placing this
great burden on the American people
Our country has taken up the cause OF
humanity. and It will not lay down its
arms until Cuba IL free and 4 govern

the larger question of the intervention of

Private Washington dispatches bore out
the intelligence contained in the morning

or Inquiry would be submitted to Con-
gress this week. Ii is no more than reas-
enable that Secretary ProCtor's address
was designed to anticipate and pave the
way for consular reports on the same
subject. These last reports are also eX-
peCted to be submitted to Congress very

their obvious bearing on the outcome of
the present diplomatic situation.

II appears that Miss MouIton procured
the articles from Mrs. Densmore, who
manufactured them, TO sell, and after dis
posing Of them failed 10 make returns to

headquarters Miss Moulton made a tear

Iowa. and says she has been in Washing

Miss Moulton was turned over TO the
