The Governor Issues n Call for This
REGIMENT


st. Paul, July 6.-The governor has
issued proclamation calling for the
organization Of an additional regiment
to be known as the fifteenth Minneso-
ia. 1t was stated that the transpOrta-
ton would be Immediately furnished
by the adjutant general, and that no
pay would be allowed officers or men
until the troops were in the service of
the government. The apportiOnment
of the companies is bound TO stir up
great deal of friction, as Minneapolis
was permitted to raise three com
panies and st. Paul only one. The
governor holds, however, that this is
more than equalled, as st. Paul gets
the colonel, two majors and the regi-
mental adjutant. The line officers ap-
pointed are: Colonel, J. G.. Shandraw,
st. Paul: lieutenant colonel. Lieut.. II.

REWARD FOR SAMPSON.
He May BE Made an Actual Renr
Admiral


Washington, July q. 1t has been
Acting Admiral Sampson for some
time, but that it will be Admiral Samp-
son in fact as well as in name is the
prevailing feeling in naval circles as a
result of the victory reported by the
American admiral Shortly after the
war broke out Capt. Sampson was
made acting admiral in order to give
him rank fitting his high command,
although his actual naval rank re-
mains at captain. BY singular CO.
incident his rank was advanced yes
terday to that Of Commodore owing to
the retirement Of Admiral Kirkland.
Ia the event of his now being made an
admiral it would advance him over
the ten commodOr5S making up the
list of that grade. and would put him
just below that very famous hero OF
the war Admiral Dewey. 1t is, OF
course, purely conjectural thus far,
but it is a conjecture which secures
such Importance in naval circles that
il is most likely TO be realized.

people are generally alarmed at the
prospect of bombardment by an

This was popularity taken as an indi-
cation that the government is afraid

Santiago has already made it's best
fight. and that its occupation is only a
question of time, and very brief time.
Gen. Skaters very strong position

Most striking of all is his feeling OF
hope and strength in that dispatch
given out late in the day in which he
gives his terms for the surrender Of
the city under pain of bombardment.
The following is the demand for the
surrender:
Il shall be obliged. unless you sur
render, 70 shell Santiago de Cuba.
