RETURN OF VOLUNTEERS
Is Promised to Take Place as Fast as
Transportation Can Be Had.

Denver. Colo, May 1o-Governor
Thomas has received the following dis
patch from Adjutant General Corbin at
Washington:
Your telegram of April IA to the
president in which you state that the
First Colorado volunteers enlisted for
the Spanish war, and that war having
ended you demand that such regiment
be mustered out of service and it's mem
bers returned to their homes has been
referred to this department In reply,
the acting secretary of war desires me
to say that it was the intention of the
department to return all of the volun-
teer troops in the Philippine islands
long since, but that it's plans were
somewhat disarranged by the recent
operations in those islands. However.
instructions have been sent to Major
General Otis to return those regiments
to the United States as soon as trans
ports are available and he has replied
that the movement would commence
about May 5 and that regiments will be
returned substantially in the order in
which they went out.
''The acting secretary desires me to
add that, inasmuch as the First Colo
RADIO regiment was among the first to
go to the Philippine islands, it will be
among the first to return, ard there is
reasonable expectation that it will be
returned to the United States and it's
members mustered out not later than
the first of July.

CABLES DEWEY.
Mayor of San Francisco Urges Him
to Come Back That Way.

San Francisco, May 10.-Mayor Phe-
Ian, last night sent the following cable
gram to Admiral Dewey:
San Francisco, May SO Admiral

Mia: On behalf of our citizens, we the

wife you to return by way of San Fran

REEDS SUCCESS AT POKER
Circle of Washington Friends Aston
ished at the News.

Washington, May 10.-Ex-Speake
Reeds success at poker in the New
York's smoking room on the recent trip
Of the liner to England has set the linn
tied circle which was familiar with Mr..
Reeds abilities as a card player to
talking of old times.
The speaker played frequently when
he was here. Almost nightly he went
to certain room, where Representa-
tives Babcock' of Wisconsin. oy of Mis-
souri,, Henderson and Cousins of Iowa,
Cannon of Illinois, George Southwick
and Wallace FOOte of New York met
and whiled away a. few hours at po-
ker.
There has been genuine grief around
the table at some of Mr.. Reeds eX-
PLOTS. So earnest and intense was he
in the play that his disasters have
caused Cannon and Southwick to shed
tears, while Henderson groaned, Foote
grew pale. JOY became speeches., and
even Cousins eloquence failed him. Mr.
Reed was always so anxious to win
that his failure to do so caused en-
barrassment among his friends.
Cannon has frequently said: Il hate
to take his money" while Southwick
has replied in a husky whisper, so
do I, but if 1 don't somebody else will.
He'd rather have his friends win any
how"
Mr.. Reed has been so successful as
speaker in making small things look
large and in making minorities look
like majorities that the habit, so fort
innate in his official capacity, has been
his rule at poker. He had bIuffed the
house of representatives as an institu-
ton with such ease that, when he be-
gan playing poker, he presumed he
could bluff a portion of the house with
greater ease. This dreadful error has
cost him many dollars. On one occa-
sion General Henderson, in $1-limit
game, carried off $228 of the speakers
money.
The speaker, as he mopped his humid
face at the games finish, remarked:
General, if you We're as successful in
the house as you are at poker you
would be a remarkab BILE character;
strange, how extremes may meet in one
man.

THE END OF NATURAL GAS.
Demonstrated That When Once It
Fails 1t Is Gone Forever.

Kokomo Ind. May 10.-The theory
advanced by State Natural Gas Super
visor Leach and William Moore, of this
city, and natural gas experts in other
parts of the Indiana natural gas fields,
that the same ground could be worked
over again after a series of years, re-
ceived a decided backset here today.
Gas men have contended that ex-
hausted gas territory would after a
long rest, yield the coveted fuel again
in paying quantities. No gas wells
have been drilled in Kol1omo for eight
years, and this field has been looked
upon as a fair test of the theory of re-
Vivification. Two weeks ago William
Moore, a. manufacturer of this city, be-
gan drilling a we'll in the geographical
center of the corporation, he having
faith that in the long interval of rest
gas had again accumulated in the gas
rock stratum. The well was finished
last night and to the great disappoint-
ment of the drillers and all concerned,
not a veStige of gas was found. The
flood of salt water that rushed up from
the hole did not even bring with it the
slightest smell Of gas. 1t is now be-
Heved that ground once thoroughly
gone over is exhausted for good and
all. The manufacturers are especially
chagrined over the failure.

AN OFFICIAL RECEPTION
Planned For Admiral Dewey by New
York.

New York, May 10.-At the meeting
of the board of aldermen an enthusiast
tic resolution calling for official re-
ception to Admiral Dewey upon his ar
rival in this city was adopted unan-
imously.
A MONSTER TESTIMONIAL.
Washington, May 10-Admiral Dewey,
upon his return to the United States is
to be presented a monster testimonial
consisting of autograph letters from
nearly every member of President Nc
KinIey's cabinet, governors of states
and prominent United States senators.
The secretary of the treasury says in
his written opinion of Dewey that he
regards him as one of a galaxy of men
who have made the American name
honorable and illustrious; the secretary
of state writes that no artificial com
memoration of such a victory is at all
needful to preserve it forever in the
American heart; the secretary of the
navy expresses similar views; the Sec
rotary of agriculture reminds Ameri-
cans that Dewey in a day added an
archipelago to the possessions of the
United States; the secretary of war
writes that he gladly adds his tribute
of praise to Dewey and the postmaster
general enthusiast tica11y seconds the
proposition to emphasize the gratitude
of the people. While Admiral Dewey
will be the recipient of many honors on
his return home this testimonial will
be the first written evidence extended
to him of the very widespread senti-
ment and gratitude on the part of the
Americans for the victor of Manila.

UNDER THREE FLAGS.
The Badger Will Sail Into the Harbor
of Apia.

Washington, May 10.-The United
States naval transport Badger, with the
Samoan commission aboard, will arrive
at ADia, Samoa, today, and there is
much interest among officials in the i'm
portant change of conditions which will
be brought about when the commission
assumes charge of affairs. 1t will in
volve practical suspension of the
treaty of Berlin and the system of ad-
ministration by which the islands have
been governed for the last ten years
and the temporary rule of the commits
sion with supreme executive and ad-
ministrative authority. By arrange
ments made before the Badger sailed
she will enter the harbor of Apia with
the flags of the United States, Great
Britain and Germany displayed. The
warships of the three countries will
fire the salute accorded to ministers
and there will be an exchange of calls
between the naval commanders, the
commission and the consuls. With
these fOrmalitieS over the cOnSulS of
the three recommendation Rose, and
Messrs. Maxsey and Osborne-wiH sus-
pend their functions as all the author
ity heretofore exercised by the consuls
and other officials for the time being
will be in the hands of the joint commits
sion. The same suspension of functions
will occur as to Chief Justice Chambers
ard the president of the municipal coun-
Gil. The cable advices that all is quiet
in Samoa give renewed assurance to Of
ficiaIs that the work of the commission
will be productive of good results, as it
will enable them to begin their labors
free from the excitement of open hos
tilities.
In view of the German press reports
that a number of German claims would
be pressed, growing out of the recent
bombardment, it is stated in an authori-
tative quarter that no such claims have
been presented, and that if any claims
are made by individual Germans they
will be passed upon by the joint COM
mission, their functions having been
made broad enough to permit them to
pass on all such questions. The report,
however would be confined to the ner-
its of the claims, amounts and the par
ties liable. 1t will have to remain for
the respective governments to carry
out the recommendations by making the
necessary appropriations.
