Fred Buchap, of Kansas City, Kan, major
of the istregiment Kansas National Guards,
received private letter from Colonel
Wilder 8. Metcalf ut Lawrence, Thursday,
asking If his battalion were ready to move
on moments notice and requesting re-
ply by wire. Major Buchan replied that
the militia, Of Kansas City, Kan, was ready
at any time and that his entire battalion
could be counted on at the first signal Of an
emergency.
Major Buchan's battalion includes four
companies Of the hardest troops In the state
efKaDsas, numbering In all 300 men. They
are company b, OF Kansas City, Kan. COM
pany II, of Lawrence, company Y, of 1T.
Scott and company d. OF lola.
Fred Funston the late lieutenant colonel
of the Cuban army, has been placed In
charge OF the troops at his home in lola.
In case of an emergency 1t is probable that
he will be given one of the highest offices
in the state militia on account.of his know
ledge ofthe condition of affairs in Cuba.
Colonel Funston is taking an active part in
the preparations for war and Is an able ad.
wiser to the officers OF the Kansas guard
He is being flooded with communications
from all sections of the state as well as from
all over the country. Ia letters to officers,
Mr.. Funston has expressed himself as being
confident thatth destruction OF the Maine
was
DUE TO SPANISH TREACHERY.
He says that people who know the Span.
isrds AS well as he can never entertain a
doubt on this score, even ifthe Investigation
should never reveal the exact cause of the
disaster Colonel Funston thinks that the
Maine was destroyed by the explosion of a
torpedo.
There is no man In the state.-of Kansas
whose advice is more ia demand at the pres.
ent time than Fred Funston, ex.lleutenant
colonel OF the Cuban army. Mr.. Funston
is really the advisor of the Kansas National
Guard during the present disturbance and
it is thought that he is behind the present
movement OF modifying the troops. Sever.
al letters indirectly from Mr. Funston have
been received In Kansas City, Kan. II IL
claimed that he will likely visit the Kansas
metropolis and have conference with
Major Buchan before the assembling of the
troops, Monday.

when others were receiving dainty
gifts and loving messages, the local
mail brought to this office. enclosed

identified as coming FROM q woman
by having a straight line scratched
with pin under the name, a gaudy
picture of very unlovely man below

Among the many interesting stories
told by Fred Funston there is one
that well illustrates human nature
and the horrors of war. The insur.
gents under General Garcia had laid
"a mine under a railroad track for Re
purpose of blowing up train load of
Spanish soldiers. The electrician
was an American, and had every
thing in readiness. The small squad
of men, among whom were Garcia,
Funston and the electrician, con.
cealed themselves In the wood some
distance from the track. The train
was heard coming, and at the same
time woman stepped upon the track
n short distance away, and walked
toward the concealed niue. AS the
train approached 1t became evident
that she would meet 1t at the exact
spot where the mine was. The w0-
man stepped aside to let the train
pass. I'he electrician hesltated, his
hand on the key. General" he
