THE FIRST TEXAS REGIMENT.
General Lees ReVieW-Men Will
Have Krag-Jorgensen Rifles.

A Savannah dispatch says: Undoubt.
eddy the largest armed body of men
ever before seen at one time in Savan-
nah was when the seventh army corps
was reviewed by General Lee in honor
of Governor Hoge Tyler of Virginia.
The review took place at what is
known as Forsyth park, and on every
side people thronged from early in the
morning till 3 in the afternoon. The
crowd was so great that battalion OF
the Fourth Illinois, together with q
squad of twenty policemen. were re-
quired to keep them back.
The first to reach the parade grounds
was the second division, under COM
mand of General Green. Then came
the first division, which comprises
the First Texas. Second Louisiana and
Third Nebraska, under command OF
General j. Warren Keller, and at ex-
actly $3.50 General Lee and staff rode
up and the grand review commenced.
the bands played "Dixie' and the
crowds yelled, after which he repaired
to the reviewing stand, whereon were
seated his various distinguished guests
together with several city officials
When all were in readiness the move
ment was begun by the First Texas,
which was led by Generals Wheaton
and5 Ke ifer.
The first battalion, under Lieuten-
companies 81, G, D and G
moved forward. keeping time to the
excellent music of the best band in the
corps, with lines as straight as rule
and without q waver. Then came the
other companies with lines equally as
straight. The First Texas baud and
the soldiers were cheered heartily and
the applause was merited, for it has
been conceded that there is no better
volunteer regiment than the First
Texas, and they have never failed to
cover themselves with glory in every
place they have visited.
After the fret division had passed
the second brought up the rear with
banners flying ana colors out. Thus
5000 men paraded the streets of
Savannah yesterday.
Captain Franklin Of company @ be-
ing unable to attend to his company
ant Welly Rsinbolt of Company 0 was
the Irishmen's leader. G made an ex-
cellent showing, and their temporary
commander was pleased with them.
The First Texas had some very
small companies as the review. but
they were call there so to speak, and
were not beaten by any large ones.
A turn of affairs has occurred since
the parade, and we may expect Krag-
JOrgensen rifles soon. The.old Spring
fields looked too ancient yesterday,
and 1t was decided to make corps
that Is going to Cuba look more like
soldiers by giving them soldiers
gun.
The Eighth United States cavalry
were in the city long enough to see
the ''roOkies" march, after which they
left for Cuba on board the Manitoba,
which arrived Friday, the 18th, and
left Sunday.

acted from thoroughly unselfish
standpoint and given the matter the
very best of their attention Burns's

About Cuban Government.

Consul Brice who was at Matanzat
and helped distribute Abilene -four Is
doubtful about the ability Of the
Cubans to govern themselves. In
answer to the question, with the
Spaniards forced out Of the country,
can the Cuban people maintain a
stable governmental Mr.. Brice is
reported as replying:
"Of that | am very doubtful. | do
not believe they could at first, unless
they had some exceptionally strong
and wise statesman-some man after
the fashion Of Gen. Diaz, the Mexican
president-to take firm hold. They
would have to learn self-government
by degrees, and the initial stages
might be very difficult and disCoursg-
ing. At the same time, they are the
most easily governed people ! ever
saw. Under any humane and power
full regime, they would be perfectly
satisfied; but, II left to themselves,
there would be jealous leaders, and
factions would spring up, resulting in
a very unsettled condition, that would
initiate against the prosperity Of the
country.
1.-The very best settlement Of the
Cuban question is the annexation Of
the island to the United States. For
my part, ! do not believe there Is any
other practical way to settle the
question. 1t would make a magnifi-
cent State or territory"

Demand Leedy's Defeat.

The following resolution passed BY
the only Populist organization in
Shawnee county is respectfully re.
ferred TO the Dickinson county fol-
lowers Of Leedy;
"Resolved, That we, the members
Of the Populist Flambeau club, deem
1t unwise for the Peoples party Of
Kansas to again nominate Governor
Leedy, because he could not carry the
vote Of our party, and could not make
new acquisitions to our party and
principles, and in our judgment he
could not again be elected"

A Currency Measure.

One Of the necessities Of the war is
money. Various plans are proposed
but the best Of them all is for che gov
eminent to issue fifty or one hundred
million dollars in certificates Of in
debtedness, bearing low rate Of in
terest-2 per cent would be enough.
This would at once 60 into the cur
rency and the West would receive it
promptly in payment for stock and
grain. A bond issue would be placed
in the East and the West would have
little share in it. By the former
method the people would have a d.
rect interest in the matter and it is
certain that plan which proved sat-
isiactory and economical during the
Rebellion would be equally so now.

The Presidents Equanimlty.


The pleasant news comes from
Washington that the president is
looking as we'll and as fresh as at any
time since he entered the White
house. In his accustomed Prince
Albert, with a red carnatiOn in the
buttonhole and putting away at a
fragrant cigar, Mr.. Mckinley is de.
scribed by q visitor as presenting a
fine picture Of health and composure.
1t Is easy for persons who know the
president well to believe that this re-
port Is not exaggerated. Mr.. McKin-
ley is man who is thoroughly self
contained under all circumstances.
The most trying conditions fail to dis
turb his serenity. His equanimity
under great pressure and stress is
something remarkable. He never be-
comes unduly exalted nor seriously
depressed. He possesses that excel.
lent quality described by Saint Paul
when he said: 81 know how to be
abased and | know how to abound"
This admirable characteristic in
the president is, primarily, the re-
suit Of temperament, and 1t has been
strengthened by course OF life which
has been absolutely free from all ex.
cesses and which has avoided those
exciting causes which are inimical to
health and peace.
1t has been noted that the president
has held steadfastly to the line Of &C.
ton which he believes to be right, in
regard to the Cuban issue, and that
he has not been moved in the slight
est degree by the clamor Of the jim
goes who insisted that the govern.
ment should rush into a war with
Spain without first making an effort
to abolish Spanish rule in Cuba by
diplomatic methods. 1t has required
unusual hrmness for the president to
stand in his place and maintain his
position against the importantly and
censure Of the politicians who have
opposed him, but he has been fully
equal to the emergency. He has been
content to await the approval Of the
people and is now in the enjoyment
Of that great reward.
The courage and iorbearance which
Mr.. Mckinley has displayed in time
Of unusual perplexity has vastly
strengthened public confidence in his
ability to meet the grave issue which
Is now before the country and which
is morally certain to precipitate war
within q few days. L Kansas City Star.

III. slosksd. d cubs.


The active operations Of the United
Statss have thus far been confined TO
the blocksding Of Cuban harbors near
Havana. Wtc o
By proclamation the president has
declared that the United States shave
instituted and will maintain q block.
ads Of The north coast Of Cuta, incIud-
Ing oil ports Of Cuba between Car
denas and Bahia Honda, and the port
Of Cieniuegos on the south coast. "
This embraces strip Of about $50
miles 10 extent on the north coast, on
which the principal harbors are Ha-
vana and Mantanzas, and on the
south coast the one harbor Of Glen
fuegos.
The reason why the blockade does
not extend to the remainder Of the
island Is because 1t Is substantially in
the possession Of the insurgents, and
the Spanish authorities have no con-
troll over it, and can obtain supplies
Of no kind through any Of its ports.
The right Of blockade has long been
acknowledged by international law as
one Of the expedients Of nations at
war. Its prime object is to harass
and cripple che enemy BY cutting off
bis supplies and forcing him to sur.
render.
It affects neutral nations as well as
the combatants, and after notice has
been given by proclamation, as the
president now gives it, any neutral
vessel that attempts to break the
blockade does 80 al the peril Of con-
fiscstion Of ship and goods.
This vigorous measure Of the presi-
dent will do more to bring the pres
ent hostilities to an end than any
other course, and 1t Is not impossible
that the war will be over before 1t Is
generally understood it has begun.
Cuba is peculiarly country that
must import its food supplies, and
with devastated island the people
oan now hardly turn to agriculture
and the production Of the necessities
OF life.
All the United States government
demands is the evacuation Of Cuba by
the Spanish troops. The. president
has made his move to that end. The
blockade means surrender or starve,
and the Spanish troops will not
starve.
When Spain leaves Cuba our fight
with her is done. Then this govern
ment can oversee the establishment
Of stable government on the island
and Spain will be licked again II it
attempts to do any more interfering
Cuba blockaded means Cuba free.

Havana Horrors.

The following extract from a private
letter from lady now in Havana, says
Washington correspondent Of the Chi
cago Record, describes the awful dis
tress Of the poor reconcentrados IN that
city and shows the need Of contribu-
tons for their relief:
This morning" the writer says, "
went to help distribute food and cloth
ing to some Of the reconcentrados in
an old warehouse, where a lot OF the
sick were corra1led. It was the worst
sight l ever saw In my life and quite
unnerved me for the day. In the wom-
ems quarters three had died that morn
ing and their faces were not yet GOV.
cred. Several were dying, and one
child died in convulsions, ciutching my
hand with fingers that felt like birds
claws. The bones Of all seemed nearly
pricking through, the children wers
covered with sores and many Of them
had their feet and legs terribly swollen
--scurvy and dropsy, suppose, from
fever, starvation and poor food, when
they have any food at all. Twenty
three thousand homeless orphans in
this province alone, to say nothing Of
the rest Of Cuba, and the sick and help
less adults. II was about 10:30 .. m.
ct the time Of my visit to that particu.
lar corral, and none Of them had had
mouthful to eat that day and only one
meal the day before, Of soup made from
sailed pork and rice, which Of courss
the babies and the sick did not relish.
They give the children condensed milk,
with hot water. whenever they can get
It, but condensed milk is very dear here,
and often for days together none can
be had. Naturally ! sent out post haste
for milk. I didn't have much money
with me, only few silver pesos, but
gave every cent Of it, and, as had dis
missed the carriage at the door Cuban
fashion, you know, intending TO tsks
another on the return, l had to walk
back to the hotel, two miles or mora,
over these stony streets. The result
was that for "a hours my feet had tho
toothache and felt as II they Ind been
bastinadoed.

Will Choose Calderhead.

At Belleville tomorrow will be held
the Fifth congressional district Re.
publican convention. The nomina.
ton Of W. A. Cslderhead tor congress
by reclamation Is assured as oil the
counties Of the district have elected
delegates for favorable to him, most
Of them being instructed for him.
This will make Mr.. Calderhead's third
race. He was the Republican candi.
date In 1894 and was elected by q
plurality Of 1854 there being three
candidates In the field. In 1896 when
be ran for reelection there was com.
plete fusion against him and be was
defeated by W. D. Vincent, the pres
ent congressman from this district,
by a majority Of 604. The open.
ing Of the present campaign showed
some indications Of a contest for the
nomination this year, three candi-
dates being talked Of. The only one
to make formal announcement was J.
J. Veatch Of Washington county, but
his county last Saturday instructed
its delegates for Calderhead. The in
dications are now for a harmonious
campaign and hearty support Of the
nominee in every county Of the dis
trict 1t is the opinion Of the leaders
that there will be fusion on Vincent
and that but two candidates will be
in the field, especially will this be SO
il there is fusion in the State Populist
and Democratic tickets.

The reason one county's delegates
are for Coburn is that Coburn's
daughter is engaged to the son Of the

county. The candidates who have no

is a great moral in this which pros
pective candidates will do well to
