Iant night late the Thurston Hlflea and
Oinuha OuarJH were1 notified that they were
to be In Lincoln on Wednesday morning. The
officers expect to learn Omaha on the
Wednesday morning trains.
The noon hour saw a large gathering of
the mllltla men at the armories ot the
Omaha Guards and Thutwton , Rifles. Meat
of the ofllccra and privates were on hand
and announced that they were ready to
inarch whenever Goverrwr Holcomb should
call for them. At each armory there nas
aorne Indignation at the circulation of a yel
low tinted rumor to the effect that the Na
tional Guard would have to give up their
organization on catering the service. When
the falseness of the report was established
by Interviews \vlth olUcem of the Department
of the ( Missouri , U. S. A. , and through other
trustworthy channels , the soldier boys
quieted down a bit and expressed regret
that they had allowed themselves to be aiU-
led.
led.At
At the armory of the Omaha Guards a tele
gram was recolvej from W. E. Wood , a
member ot the company at Centralta , 111. ,
Haying that ho would leave at once to rejoin
hla company. A letter from W. M. Darnum
was received from Mnrlnctte , WU. , to the
effect that ho would be hire on Tutaday to
take his place In the ranks. The number of
applications for enlistment Increased during
the morning , but no recruits have been ac
ceptcd since Saturday night. The ranks of
the company will be recruited up to slxty-
flvc at tonlght'a meeting.
At the Thurston Hides' armory all the
tcntH and other equipment Is packed up In
heavy boxes ready to be moved on ten min
utes' notice. Thirty-five recruits have made
application for membership In the company ,
and the beat of these will be selected. These
recruits are now being drilled , and the selec
tion will bo made on the aoldierly appearance
ot the men and their ability to master the
tactics. Captain Taylor has Issued an order
for nightly drill , the recruits at
8 p. m. and the regular com
pany , at 8:15 : p. in. , until the company dc-
partn. In addition to this as many of the
recruits as can attend afternoon drills are
put through the exerclae and tactics by
Privates Coy and Thompson. Herbert Tay
lor , formerly quartermaster of the Thurs-
ton Illflea , daa Just returned from Now Yor
to rejoin his company , and will march with
tils old fellow soldiers. Wlrt Thompson and
William Baxter Lave made application and
will probably bo appointed buglera for the
company when mobilized , but these appoln'-
rncnts will tiat interfere with their carrying
guns.
BOYS FEELING BETTER.
By last night the local mllltla men were
' _ again feeling la good spirits , after having
" ibeen dispirited a greater part of the day
by an unfounded rumor that the state com
panics were to bo broken up and ofllccra
and men scattered about In the regular
army. The evening drills of the Omaha
Guards , the Thurtiton Rifles and the Web
ster Zouaves wore full of life and spirit
anl they were all witnessed by numerous and
enthusiastic crowds. The news that Gov
ernor Holcomb had received authority
from the president to recruit two full regl-
nientJ ot infantry epread amcng the mllltla
men rapidly and wao welcome news to all o
them. They anticipate with some pleasure
an order to report at Lincoln frr enlistment
under the government according to the
provisions of the now army bill. The Oman
Guards and the Thurston Klflcs arc a )
ready to go to Lincoln , or any other polti
that might be ordered , today. The captain. .
have means of as. enabling the men within
an hour after receipt of orders.
Captain Taylor of the Thurston Rifles took
hla comfxiny out fur some hard work cm th <
streets last evening , and kept the young
soldiers at It pretty steadily from 8:30 : untl
nearly 10:30. : In addition to all kinds o ;
marching the company wau put through
the manual of arms with good effect. Within
the armory two squads of recruits were
drilled for about two hours under Sergean
Colcman. Most of the time was spent In
work on the manual drills , though the re
cruits were given sufficient marching ID thi
main hall to know what marching order :
wore like. There were twenty-five of thesi
recruits In all , but It wao announced tha-
not more than halt a < dozea of them were
likely to be taken as the company is llmitet
to a membership of sixty-five , and the regu
lir rank are now recruited to nearly tha
number.
At the armory of the Omaha Guards th
scene was a somewhat different one. It wa >
just as soldiery , but It was made more at
tractive by the presence of half a hundrei
fair young women who assembled to see th
last drill of their brothers cad other glr.'a
brothers. Captain Mulford , with Lleuton
< iots Wilson and Cone , put the Guards
through a strict company drill lasting abou
an hour. All the drill work naa done within
the armory , but It was none the less tbor
ough. At the conclusion ot the company
drill the soldier bojc and their young friend ;
enjoyed a dance that lasted until abou
midnight. It will be remembered by al
who attended It not only as the last danc
ot the Guards before ( hey were ordered ou
but as one of the most enjoyable ot th
eerles given this e-saeon.
AT AHMY HEADQUARTERS.
The morning wuo spent rather quietly at
the headquarters ot the Department ot the
( Missouri. U. S. A. Major J. M. J. Sanno
ot the Third Infantry arrived during the
morning from Fort Snellhig , St. Paul. Ho
lias been transferred to this department , with
orders to act as Inspector general until fur
ther notice. Ho will have charge of the In
spection of all posts , all 'tho e-qulpment and
All the moneys ot the Department ot the
Missouri from this date on.
A number of men called at the department
oSlces1 , and asked to bo enlisted In the regu
lar service of the army. During the last
week about fifty such applicants have applied
for enlistment pipers. As the nearest re
cruiting station is now at Fort Crook , an
order may soon bo Issued locating a recruit
ing ofQce in this city. Moat ot the men who
have applied at army headquarters arc well
built , good appearing men , and mostly from
the country.
In speaking of the consternation among
the mllltla men over the rumor that they
were to be totally deprived of their pres
ent organization , one of the highest officers
ot the army , now at the department head
quarters said : "I very much doubt If Mor
risen ever made the remarks on the subject
attributed to him. If ho did he waa certainly
wrong. Tue new army bill pissed by coi-
CTCB.J and signed by the president Is sufll-
clent contradiction to the report that the
state military companies must give up their
organization. In that It la distinctly provided
that all ofllccru below the rank ot colonel are
to be appointed by the governor of the stale
from * hlch the volunteer companies hall and
all officers above the rank of colcoel are to be
appointed by the president. Now It Is pretty
certain that the governor fa going to reappoint -
point tile ofllcer. ) now In command of the
\arlous ctite military companies. No gov
ernor would b so foolish as to practically
break up theae companies by appointing
new men to command them. To do so would
be to lose to the army the good that can sa
obtained by placing in the field large num-
.ber of state companies that are already well
drilled and have their own officers. You can
rely on it that the organizations of the
mllltla companies ot the state will be pre
served Intact. "

To the contest drill ot the Omaha Guards
last evening Sergeant D. E. McCague was
warded the medal for the best individual
drilling. Tbo silver cup presented to the
man making the beet score In the hat rifle

A very enjoyable and well attended en
tertainment was given laat night at Crelgh-
ton college by the Young Ladles' Sodality
of St. John's church. The chief feature
was a lecture by Rev. Thomas B. Finn on
The Poets of Young Ireland. " Miss Brady

Mr. Finn delivered his lecture. In which
he ex tolled the sona of Davis ; Clarence
Langdon and Dennis McCarty.
The speaker next called attention to
writers who have left their native country

ON UOAKDITHC fLAGSHIP NEW YOHK ,
( off Havana ) , April 25. 10 a. m. The early
morning hours today were taken up by a
vigorous chasing ot moving lights. The only
vessel spoken wa * the British schooner Ho-
lanthe of Windsor , N. S. It was allowed to
proceed. It was just outside of MatanzJs.
No shots tune been fired since ywterdaj-
morning on cither side.
Ttio Dolphin and the converted yacht Eagle
arrived from Key West this morning. The
Dolphin carried the officers and prize crews
who had been placed on the Pedro and the
schooner Antonio. All were glad to get back ,
although they said they had had no trouble
with their prizes.
The torpedo boat Porter made a daring trip
Into the shore under cover of darkness last
night , and Lieutenant Fremont , its com
mander , landed with a small party and ob
tained valuable Information.
The blockade continues under beautiful
weather conditions. The flagship returned to
the blockade line about C:30 : lajt evening
after on uneventful trip. Nothing of Impor
tance apparently had occurred during Ita
absence ,
When iarkness ! came on last night Morro
custlo showed a powerful searchlight , and
flashed It nervously around thu horizon. lUi-
other searchlight was seen. It looked to
ie from the direction of Santn Clara bat-
cries to the westward of RI Morro. The
earchllght Itself could not be distinguished ,
nly the rays being distinguishable. This la
uo cither to the low pcsttloa of the light
r Its distance from the blockade. The Morro
ght b placed higher and Is an excellent
ght.
Last night was the first time these lights
: ave been used. What benefit they will
e to the Spaniards no one kaowd. They
nay pocslbly Induce the batteries to expend
ionic more ammunition In futile ahota at
he squadron , but the blockade continues as
efore , searchlights or no searchlights , as
f course they do not reach fir enough to
how our ships.
ilf any ships run the blockade they will
ave to rua a gauntlet of vigilance that
au rever been surpassed. The alertncHS of
he officers and men continues at the same
Itch that vvue exhibited the flrst night
ut.
Admiral Sampson Is more handicapped In
la blockade than vveie naval commanders
n the civil war. In miny cases they were
bio to atichor , while Admiral Sampson's
cet la obliged to drift about In a two-Knot
urrcnt , with no stationary there light for
L guide. It Is believed lliat every oteamer
hat has attempted to enter Havana since
ho blockade began has been captured.
One of the ? sights yesterday was the hand-
lr 3 of the Gushing by Naval Cadet Boyd ,
he only survivor of the Maine with the
fleet. Commtuder Gleaves of the Gushing
? pent the greater part of the day on the
flagship , and during his absence Lieutenant
Bovd handled the vessel with a daah and
kill that was remarkable , considering the
act that he was assigned to It yesterday
an.1 . had never handled a torpedo bo-U be-
"ore , and all this In ulght of Morro castle ,
n the shadow oftilch lies the remains of
Lieutenant Boyd's ship.

has created a mild sensation in Catholic
. circles here by declaring that the war be
tween the United States and Spain Is unnec
essary and that ll will be a calamity to this

'Tho differences between the two govern

If the pope had been heard. "
The bishop paid 'McKlnley ' a high tribute
for efforts to maintain peace and said the
United States senate went mad. He laid
Catholics would shed their blood In this
war , as they had In all others. Ho did not
advise them to stay out of U , but told them
it was their duty to fight for their country.
Bishop Burke bclteve the war with Spain
will lead to International complications that
may Involve the United States in war with

WASHINGTON. April 25. Lieutenant
Uamon de Carranza of the SpanlUi royal
navy , until recently naval attache of the
Spanish legation at Washington , has chol-
lengiM General Fltznugh Lee- and Captalu
Slgsbeo ot the Malno to light duels. Tbo
challenges were Issued on the1 night thf
Spanish minister withdrew from Washing
ton.
Lieutenant Do Carmn/a had determined
upon ttila course ot action Immediately utter
General Lee and Captain Slgabee stated be
fore the congressional committee that In
their belief Spanish nival officers vvere re-
epvtistble for the blowing up ot the Maine.
Ho made Kuowu hta purpose to Mlalsfr
Polo , who forbade him from Issuing the
challenge while no wcs a member of the
legation staff Llcuter.-int DP Carrauza per-
elated that' his official position In no wav
restricted his rights as 'a gentleman to call
another gentleman to account.
It wns arranged that the Issuance of the
challenge shuld await the ending of dl.ilo-
matte relitlons between Spain acd the
United SUles. whereupon Lieutenant De
Carranza would bo absolved from any rc-
straining poacr of Seiior Polo.
Meantime Lieutenant De Carranza con
sulted Captalo De La Casara of the Spanish
army , late military attacCio here , and the
details were arranged. Only Minister Pole ,
Captain De La Casara and one or two others
were avviro of whit was Tjclng dine , the
strictest eecrecy being enjoined on all par
ties , according to the ethics of duelling ,
which gives to the party clullcciqed the
privilege- making public the facts In the
transaction.
This seerecr Is now broken , however , by
the rumors current and the facts of the
challenge are made : mbllc.
Lieutenant DC Carranza'g first challenge
was serv. to General Lea and it la more
lengthy than the one to Captain Slgsbee.
It Is niot deferential , even courtly lu tone ,
according to the tenets of duelling , but
aside from the challenge proper It contains
an Intentional Insult to General Lee with
n view to provcklng him to an acceptance.
The letter savs that General Lee , In his
, teatlmony ' before a commlss'on ' , stated that
In his judgment Spanish ofllclaU exploded
the mine which blew up the Maine. This ,
Lieutenant De Carranza asserts , In hfs chal-
Icnse , Is a direct retlec'V-n on the honsr of
the naval officers who had charge cf the
defenses ] of Havana. "Any man. who makes
such a charge on belief , and not on proof , "
the challenge proci cds , "Is himself capable
of committing the crime. "
WAITS FOll EIGHT DAYS.
Ho refers to reports that General Lee will
return to Cuba as a major geueral and asks
, that before he goes ho will give the lieu
tenant the privilege cf fighting him. The
challenge closes as follows : "For eight
days I shall await your answer at the
Spanish consulate at Toronto. "
The challenge to General Lee was mailed
at 0:30 : p. m. on April 20 , as the Spanish
minister anil his party vvere about to take
the train , the State department having fur
nished htm his passports that afternoon. It
was directed to < thu State department. It
happened that General Lee had gone to
j Richmond , so It Is not known whether he
received the letter the following morning.
Lieutenant De Carranra felt salt fled that
General Leo would accept the challenge
and that a meeting would occur on Spanish
soil.
soil.The
The challenge to Captain Slgsbee Is sub
stantially the same , but slightly briefer ,
owing to the oml-slon of the phrcoe relating
to General Lee's return to Cuba.
, In th'a challenge a'so eight dajs are given
In . which a reply may be sent to the Spanish
consulate at Toronto. The challenge waa
sent in the care of the. Navy department.
Captain Slgsbee had prevlotu-ly left for
Philadelphia j to tike command of the St.
Paul , eo the letter may not have reached
him. j
him.Since
Since the challenge was sent no word has
reached here as to tha purposes of Genera )
Lee or Captain Slgsbee. Tiia dispatch from
Toronto Indicates that no acceptance or
declinations have reached there.
Lieutenant De Carranza U about 43 jeare
ot age , tall and athletic , He looks more like
an Englishman than a Spaniard. His face
Is full bearded and tuddy from exposure on
the 6ea , for he came to Washington after
Ions aea service.
It was ho who was entrusted by General
Dlanco with the delivery to Washington of
the report of the Spanish naval commission ,
which Investigated the disaster ot the Maine ,
and after delivering the matter Into the
hands of Minister Polo ho was attached to
the legation. For three years ho commanded
a gunboat In Cuban waters.
Like most European naval officer * he Is
an expert swordsman jmd pistol shot. He
made known his purpose before leaving
here ' of waiting eight dajs , when If answers
were not received he would publish the
challenges sent to General Lee and Captain
Slgsbee.
It 1s suggested' to him that duelling was
looked upon differently In this country
than In Europe , and the laws prohibited It ,
but bo Insisted that these officers would not
Involve the law or the custom of the country
In the present case.
PHILADELPHIA. April 26. Captain Slgs
tee , when seen In reference to the challenge
ealil to have been sent him , had no definite
information concerning It. He sold :
"I do not believe any ouch challenge has
been received. I have not received U , and
I think I would have heard of It had It been
sent to me In Washington. "
"In case you do receive It , what action will
you take ? "
"It to too absurd to believe , ' and I cauuo * .
cay what I would do. It Is false that I testi
fied to the senate committee that Spanish
officials blew up the Maine. What I said
was that the Maine waa blown up by an ex
terior force , and I would have been a too ]
not to do BO.
"I met Lieutenant Carranza at Key Wesi
and ( saw nomethtng ot him. Ho appeared to
be a courteous gentleman. This U the Ural
time that I have beard that he took cxcep
Horn to my testimony before the senate com
mittee , and I still think there Is a. mistake
that he has not issued the challenge.
"I cannot say what disposal I eball n.ake
of the challenge It It comes. "
to Flulit n Duel.
TORONTO , April 25. Lieutenant Ca-
runnza of the suite of Senor Polo y Bernabe
was seen today relative to the report that
ho had challenged Captain Stgabeo of the
Maine to fight a duel. The lieutenant cor
roborated the story. Ho said he sent the
challenge on the 20th and If he dcs not
hear from Captain Sigsbee by the 28th he
will brand him as a coward. Should Captain -
tain Slgsbce refuse the lieutenant will then
challenge Consul General Lee.

als of troopd at Chlclcnmauga National park ,
both tlinso crlglnally destined there anJ
\vhlch have been diverted from their gulf
destinations , are expecttd to bo heavy for
the next day or so. The number of soldiers
originally ordered to Chlckamauga has not
arrived by one-half. It Is quite probable
that nearly or quite 15.000 troopo of the
regular service will becwcainppl at Chickamauga -
amauga by Wednesday or Thursday.
It Is ratlmatrd that the passage of the
army reorganization bill , providing for ci %
Increase In the standing army of GS.OOO , will '
result In at least 50.0UO troops being con
centrated here. The Ghlckamauga battle
field la an Ideal point for drilling purposru ,
according to the generally e\preaciJ opin
ion of crmy ofllcers here , and It H quite prob
able that this point will be the rcnrtozvoun
for nearly the entirely augmented force of
the regular army.
Captain D. McArthur cf Washington , who
has been appointed assistant quartermaster
under Colonel Les , haa arrived nnd estab
lished his headquarters at Battlefield station.
The Tcath cavalry ( colored ) from Forts As-
slrabolno and Keogh , Mcntana450 men , In
command of Colonel Guy V. Henry , with
Captains Hunt , Ilecd , Woodard acd Jones ,
arrived to-lay. The trains were sent out to
the park without much delay tiij unloaded.
This Is the third regiment of colored cavalr >
to arrive at Chlckamauga.
A company of sixteen s'gnalmen. In com
mand ot Cuptaln W. A. Giasaford , signal
oScer of the Department of Colorado , ar
rived from Denver today , and went at once
to the park , where they reported at General
Brooke's headquarters. The men under Cap
tain Olaesford have been taking signal In
structions for a year and a half. By tomor
row the signal detachment will embrace
nearly thirty men , Sergeants Kenney , Young ,
Griffin. Young and Bradley being expected
to arrive. As soon as brigade headquarters
are established , telegraph wires will be
strung to connect with General Brooke's
headquarters.
The Twenty-fourth Infantry , which ar
rived yeaterday from Fort Douglass , went
Into camp today In the south end of McDon
ald flo'.d , known to ths veterans of the
Chlckairauga conflict as the "Field of Con-
fualoa. " This regiment will be one of those
composing the SeconI brigade of Infantry.
All the regiments now In camp were given
regular drill work today. All throu fi the
noodui to the south ot Lytle hills there were
skirmishing drills by Infantry , firing and
advancing , while up through the Kclley Held
and the vvooda and underbrush to the went
of Lafayette road there was dismounted drlll-
l 3 of cavalry leading their horses.

SIOUX FALLS , S. I ) . , April 25. Governor
Lee has finally decided to designate Sluux
Falls as the recruiting station for the South
Dakota troops nnd ai the rendezvous for
the state mllltla nnd volunteer forces of
South Daokta. This point has been sec"te4 !
because ot the superior railway facilities.
South Dakota's quota Is 1.S50. There U not
a doubt that five times this number of men
could bo promptly raised lu this sUte. N
definite arrangements have yet besn raaJp ,
but It Is probable that the grounds funnelly
used by the state fair will bo turned
over to the Moldlers until they reiuiva
marching orders. On these grounds arc
large number of bul'dlngs which can bo
used for sleeping purrg-es.
On Saturday night SloTc Falls was a blaii
of enthusiasm. A parade nearly two milea
long was participated lu by company I ) ,
the various secret societies , traveling mtu
and civic and military organizations. The
local mllltla und the old veterans were
cheered ns they pasted by the reviewing
stand. Phillips avenue from ono end to
