NOT IN SOLDIERS HOME.
Volunteers of the Spanish-American
War Denied Admittance.

Leavenworth, Kan, July 14-There Is
an impression in the minds of many
people that volunteer soldiers, who
served in the Spanish-American war
are entitled to admission to the Nation
al Soldiers home Such is not the case,
as the law creating these homes states
expressly that they were for the benefit
of veterans OF the Mexican and civil
wars
No provision for the volunteers in the
wars which the nation might after
wards engage in was made A case in
point was brought to notice yesterday.
Henry W. Jenkins, band, First Texas
cavalry, came from San Antonio, and
made application for admittance- The
law was looked up and. no provision
being found, he was refused admit
tance. Jenkins served six months and
Is days, doing guard duty on the Mex
lean border, and as result of exposure
is totally inca acitated for work.
