A Statue for Pilsburx.

A statue of Governor John S. Pills.

university. That was decided at the
annual meeting of the university al.
umni. The movement was started a
year ago when E. G. Chatfeld intro
dured resolution declaring that a
statue on the campus would be fit
ting recognition of Governor Pillsbury's
services to the university. A commit
tee composed of Messrs. Chatfeld,
Partridge, Gillette and Quinn was
named to investigate and report.
They investigated and evidently to
good purpose, for recently they had
entered into a contract with Daniel C.
French of New York to erect the
statue within three years at cost of
c15. 900.

Our Allotment.

Minnesota's allotment under the
second call for troops is 1,742, and
official word to that effect was wired
to Gov. Clough by Adjutant General
Corbin. Of this number 900 will go
to fill the shortage which exists in the
three regiments now at the front, and
the remainder will probably form the
nucleus of new regiment, which will
have j. c. Shandrew for its colonel.
Permission will be asked to furnish
the additional $50 men necessary to
make up a regiment. Majors Schaef-
fer and Whitney, of the 18th and 14th,
and Maj. Bean, of the 18th, have been
ordered to return to Minnesota and

THAT SPEClAL SESSION.
The Governor Is Still Waiting to Hear
From Public Opinion.
(Kennebec Journal. }

tAOA&AObOO cOhiI oi'
Governor Powers stated Tuesday, that
he still saw no necessity for the assem-
bling Of the legislature, and should not
do SO unless public sentiment was more
strongly in favor of it, and the press
called for it.
One of the great reasons why the spec
lal session is wanted by some" said he,
is to provide for the families that are
to be left at home. OF course it wouldn t
do to have them left penniless, as many,
no doubt, would be, for although no one
would see them want, it would be cruel.
Every man Who enlists in the regular
service to so to the 'front.' will receive two
months pay in advance, and that will
keep the wolf from the door for q time.
at least.
Although there are many reasons why
the session should be called, the governor
thinks he can get all the money toat is
needed in the present crisis, without the
session and he runs the risk that at the
next session the amount expended will be
made good. In this manner, he ho ee to
make use Of the $4,000 that would be ex-
pended in calling together tho legislature.
in other ways.
Yet the demand for the session is grow
ing steadily and will soon be very strong
The demand seems to be for some emer-
gency laws that will better protect the
sea coast, but this may be arranged in
some way, by the secretary of war, who
has been addressed by the governor in
a letter.

PREPARING FOR ATTACK.
Elaborate Arrangements Are Being Made
in Havana.

Havana, April %, via Cienfuegos. No
body here is able to make definite state
ments as to the whereabout of the Spanish
fleet.
All kinds of contradictory news reaches
Havana from Spain and the United States
on the subject and ii anything definite
is known officially regarding the naval
movements of Spain, the matter is kept
a profound secret
Spanish troops throughout the island
have been concen trated at different points
along the coast, so as to be ready to meet
any attempt to land troops from he
United States.
enlisting in the volunteer battalions
throughout Cuba, and as very many of
the men have served in the Spanish regu.
lar army, they are expected to prove very
valua BILE in the defence of the island.
The following order has been issued by
the defence of Havana.
General order of the division of de-
fence: April 20, 1898: In the event of an
attack on Havana, which would make
necessary the concentration Of the orga.
nized forces for it's defence, at the point
already marked out, it will become neces-
sary that signals be made to announce the
fact to this city and to call to arms with
the greatest rapidity, the garrison, volun-
teers and tiremen.
s'With this object in view AMI taking
into consideration the favorable positions
occupied by some of the regular observa-
tories established by the artillery corps,
it is natural that those points are the best
fitted to give the first signal to the gov
ernor general and general commandant,
rs well as to the chiefs of divisions of
the defence, the military telephones being
utilized for that purpose.
when the alarm is given, all troops
volunteers and fremen will assemble
quietly at their posts and await the Or
ders of their chiefs.
eff the alarm comes at night, Principe
Cabanas and MORO Castle instead of
hoisting red flags, as will be the case If
the alarms OCCUR in the day time, will
forces of the public order, policemen and
police agents, if the red lights are hoist
ed, will notify the inhabitants of the city
in the best manner possible to bring
about the ends desired. Street cars and
omnibuses can give great assistance in
the rapid concentration of the troops at
threatened points and they will patrioti-
callysfacilitate the work in every manner
possible.
ment which went to confer with the in
surpent government has not returned
and even in government and political cir
cles here it is admitted that the efforts of
the commission to bring about a settle
