Probability that Another Call for One
Hundred Thousand Men Will be Made

WASHINGTON, May 17.-"There will
unquestionably be a second call for vol

senator who holds intimate personal
relations with Secretary of War Alger.

lars and volunteers already in the

as to that in Neil mind, he must have
been undeceived when her ewes, all red
and swollen from weeping, were mad
vertently raised TO meet his glance, so
much of cold aversion her look ex-
pressed. If Cor a moment she had ever
really loved him. he felt, she could not
have turned against him so, could never
have looked at him like that, feeling
that she was looking upon him for the
last time. She had never cared for him,
He had been befooled, misied by his
own blind infatuation. But it was over
now. In the long days and nights of
lying here 1T seemed as though passion
had burned itself out with the fever'a
flame, leaving him YEARLY Indifferent.
There was even dull wonder in his
mind that he had ever cared so much,
that she could have had the power to
hurt him so; and yet, as aforementioned,
there was such an ache of pity in his
heart for the old self that had been
given over to the folly of such suffering,
such pang Ct pain recalled, that weak
tears were yelling up from his eyes, to
be shamefacedly wiped away as he
turned back toward the door. Surely
Themistocles was wise when he begged
for the boon Of forgetfulness.
The nurse was just coming with the
broth she had gone to fetch. She was
an elderly widow with a heart in the
right place, as the saying is, but with
tongue too volubIe for Neil's peace of
mind. He fretted when she left him
long alone, but he groaned in spirit
when she kept him company. She was
talking now the moment she set eyes on
him. never stopping for breath while
she put into his hands the bowl she had
brought, fussily beating up the pillows
behind his back.

Awakening of the Giant.

How is it that not single paper in
the United States that is advocating the
cause of bimetallism finds any time to
say a word in favor of an Ang,o-Amer-
lean compact? The answer is dead
easy" There is not a single newspaper
advocating independent bimetallism in
the United States that is owned in Eng
land, neither in whole nor in part.
There is not a single paper advocating
the gold standard in the United States
that is not also advocating an Anglo
American alliance. There is not
single paper now advocating an under
standing with England that is not
either wholly or in part owned in Eng
land. They do not represent the SEN
timent of the American people. Their
present noise, however, will serve to
awaken the American people from their
slumbers. When they awake they will
give sentence to British fortresses, as 1t
were, now established amongst us and
teaching false doctrines. - National

H KEEPS THEM GUESSING.
The Present Naval Game of Hide
and Seek is Growing High
ly Interesting.
IT REMINDS ONE OF A GAME OF CHESS.
The Navy Department Takes Gum Grano
Sails the Spanish Report that a Second
Fleet Has Been Sent to the West In.
dIes-Admiral Sampson Said to be
Heading for Cienfuegos.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE navy de-
partment takes with great allowance
the report that the Spanish strategists
have succeeded in sending second
squadron, under Admiral Villamil, to
the West Indies, and that it is off Mar
Unique. Even if the alleged information
did not bear the suspicious earmark OF
Madrid date, the department would
not be surprised to hear that Admiral
Tillamil, as well as Admiral Cervera,
was with the Spanish force in the
Caribbean sea. The fact that the re-
port came from Madrid satisfies the
officials here chat this is another Span.
lSh ruSe to center our attention on
Martinique while their ships have
passed westward. The report has
it that Admiral Villamil has with him
the cruisers Cisneros, Catalina and
Princess de AustriaS It is known,
however, that Villamil is not the ad-
miral of these ships, and that at least
one of them, the Cisneros, is on the other
side of the water. 1t is also known
that Admiral Villamll is subordinate
to Admiral Cervera, whose particular
duties are to command the torpedo de-
StrOyers attached to the first Spanish
squadron. He occupies the same atti-
tude that Commodore Watson does to
Admiral Sampson. The fact that a
second squadron passed a Madrid
censor indicates the desire of the
Spanish authorities to spread abroad
this misleading information. Its pur-
pose, it is believed, is to induce Ad-
miral Sampson to remain with his
feet at or near Martinique, in quest of
of the shadowy second squadron, so as
to take him away from his pursuit of
Admiral Cervera and the actual Span

DIR. Elizabeth Bates Gift to the Univers-

ANN ARBoR, Mich, May 17.-By the
will of the late DR.. Elizabeth II. Bates,
of Port Chester, n. Y, the University
of Michigan comes into possession of
S1a5. 900. The property is in the form
of first-class securities and improved
real estate and will yield an income of
perhaps st, 900 a year, to be used in es-
tablishing a chair of the diseases of
women and children to be known as
the Bates professorship. This is by
far the largest bequest in the history
OF the university, and one that will
be highly appreciated.

Nelson DinEIey-His Bill.

There is bright and beaming smile
upon the usaully rugged face of Mr..
Nelson Dingley these days. He hears
with delight the music of Dewey's guns
at Manila; the smell of powder smoke
is an incense unto his nostrils. He
glories in the triumph of American
arms and he is periodically enthusi-
astic over all propositions looking to
the prosecution of hostilities. For
every gun fired, every naval skirmish
tends to distract attention from Ding
lcy's "bill to produce revenue" AS
he Justly remarks: "The expenses of
war are of an extraordinary nature and
must be met by extraordinary means
of raising money" It was no i'll wind
that bore to the honorable Nelson Ding
ley's ears the clash of resounding arms.
It was zephyr freighted with balm to
the troubled soul and carrying away
disagreeable mutterings concerning a
deficit of ST., ZOO, 900 per month. Grim
visaged war is a white-winged dove in
the eyes of Honorable Nelson.

surprise awaits the Spanish admiral if
he sails for Martinique. There he is apt
to find a new squadron composed of the
Oregon, the Marietta, the Buffalo

and the st. Louis. The latter have
been sent by Admiral Sampson to effect
a junction with Capt. Clark and to re-

UNEQUAL TAXATION.
How the Hnnnaites Propose to Raise
Funds to Carry ON
the War.

When the revenue bill to raise money
to prosecute the war against Spain was
prepared by the ways and means COM
mittee no democrat was consulted. 1t
was the idea of the republicans to have
a measure strictly partisan in character,
strictly in the interest of republicans,
and then to force the democrats in con-
gress to vote for it under the plea that
it was war measure and it would be
"unpatriotic" to oppose it. This sort
of bulldozing is evidently going to be
the method followed by the administra-
ton party, and the republican press
has received instructions from Boss
Hanna, whose cringing slave it is, to
work the "obstructionist racket" for
all it is worth. There can be 10 doubt
that there are many things in the rev.
enue bill which should not be there, but
much more is it true that there are
many things not in that bill that should
be in it. Necessities of life are taxed
to the utmost, but incomes and Injuries
are not touched. The poor mans glass
of beer and his pipe must be levied on to
help pay the expenses of war. TO be
sure, the rich man bought protection
during the last presidential campaign
by paying large sums of money to
Hanna, but there was no talk of war
then, and the bargain ought to be de-
clared off because of the change in con-
ditions. While the republican major
ity in congress voted cheerfully to tax
the necessities of the people, the in
quiry will not down as to why such
operations as the giant Standard Oil
combine should escape without the
tribute of single penny tC the war
fund. Why should the man who has to
spend money for the necessities of life
be forced to pay tax on every cent he
spends, while the man who receives an
income of $4,000 day not have to pay
a cent of tax? And yet administration
papers say democrats are obstruction
lists" because those same democrats
want to equalize the burden of war by
making the rich help the poor to carry

The Chicago Evening Post (in-
tense goldbug) is indignant because
the senate does not pass the Dingley
$500, 600, 600 bond bin. 1t says: "It is
entitled AN act to provide ways and
means to meet war expenses That
title was enough to secure its passage
by the patriotic house in less than three
days" Yes, the Reed -ooters take their
medicine by title, but the senate is
considering the bill on its merits, and
will exhibit genuine patriotism if they
refuse to pass it on the strength of it's
damnable provisions. The bill is not
"an act to provide ways and means to
meet war expenses" but a bill ito

Special Dispatch to The Call.

HAVANA, Oct. 13.-The commissions
have apparently decided it is time to
reach some sort of an agreement. Each
held session this morning and a joint
session was held this afternoon at the
Trocha. This was at the request Of
the Spanish commissioners, who made
known at last Sundays breakfast their
desire for an informal meeting, The
Americans consented and to-day's meet
ing was arranged. Each commission
had some things to say which it did
not wish to go on the record.
l was told by a member of the Amer
lean commission that the result of the
conference was an agreement upon the
final date of the evacuation of Cuba by
the Spanish troops and the clearing up
Of other matters that have been under
dispute.
The agreement will be sent to Madrid
and if it meets approval there will be
ratified at the regular joint session Of
the committees.
l could not learn the date agreed upon
for the evacuation, butt impression
was given that it was either January 1
or January Is. This does not mean
that the control of customs affairs will
not be assumed by the Americans be-
fore that date. 1t simply means that
time will be allowed for the departure
of the last troops, the Spanish evincing
anxiety to get their men home as soon
as possible Fully 1900 have left in the
last two days.
The radical Cubans have formed an
organization the motto of which seems
to be Down with everything not Gu
BAN" They have urged the insurgents
not to give up their arms until the
Americans as well as the Spanish with
draw from the island. They oppose
forces and say the insurrection must
continue unless the Cubans are allowed
to form their own government without
interference.

IN Somewhat Different Way

porter gave sufficient color to warrant
the above statement, This will make
this great system independent OF the
Southern Pacific road, to which the
Santa Fe is now more or less Indebted

That the Santa Fe system has long
been making efforts to become inde-
pendent of the Southern Pacific system
in securing a through line to the Pa
cific Coast none familiar with the his
tory of the road doubts.
Now that this move is about to be-
come an accomplished fact friends of
the read offer congratulations. No man
stands closer to President Ripley than
c. NJ. Higginson, his assistant. Higgin-
son was in Topeka yesterday in his pri-
vate car. With him were his wife and
daughter. The two latter VIII be left
at Las Vegas by Higginson, who is on
his way to join Ripley in California
When questioned as to the object OF
his trip and If it had any special signi-
ficance Higginson stated that he expect
ed to meet Ripley, who was at present
in California, on an important mission,
but that his object was to CONFER WIN
the president of the road.
Asked if President Ripley was not In
California with the purpose of securing
possession of the Bakersfield line or de-
vising means to effect an entrance to
San Francisco independent of the
Southern Pacific, Higginson simply
smiled and remarked that the Santa Fe
people were very desirous of such a
state of affairs and. hoped to bring
about its conclusion at an early date.
He then thoughtfully added:
"Of course 1 do not know Mr.. Ripley's
mission in California, but suppose it is
one of his periodical inspection tours of
the line. We take them once or twice

One or two further remarks were
made along this line, showing Ripley's
mission in California was as stated.

NOMINATED THE MAN
WHO WHIPPED DEWEY
Major Pangborn as Pedagogue
Conquered the Future Rear
AdpoiraI

NEW YORK, Oct 13.-"Hurrah for
Pangborn, the only man who ever whip
ped Dewey" shouted an enthusiastic
delegate at the Seventh New Jersey
Congressional convention which was held
in Jersey City last night, when it was an
nounced that Major z. K. Pangborn was
the conventions nominee.
The cry was not so absurd as might ap-
pear, for the major did really whip Ad-
miral Dewey once, and gave him a sound
thrashing, too. 1t was away back in the
ffties; long before the major came to
New Jersey. The major was fresh from
college when he undertook to manage the
district school in Montpelier, VT, which
had long been in revolt.
Young Dewey had been a leader of the
crowd which had made it very unpleas-
ant for several young tachers. Pang-
born took the school and when Dewey
led the first revolt against his authority
he whipped the future rear admiral with
a rawhide until he begged for mercy.
There was no more trouble in the school
during that term. Dewey and Pangborn
became fast friends. Years afterward.
when Major Pangborn was an editor in
Boston and Dewey was lieutenant in the
navy Dewey called upon him and said:
II shall ever be grateful to you You
made a man of me. But for that thrash
ing you gave me l might now be in a
State prison.

men might give the assistance so great

General Rios would receive orders i'm
