. .1. D. Gage. formerly aduttnt $ general of
4. the National Guard , in an interview today
, regarding the conduct of the war on the
proposed enlistment of voiunteers under the
recond call of the president , said In his
plnion it would be a good plan to call out
a number of colored regiments for service
In Cuba. They could be recruited from
'
t.among the unemployed casis of colored men
of the south , and also from those of the
) aunger generation ho have not yet accu-
nu1ated property of a permanent character.
These men would make good soldiers. and
the service would ba great benefit to them ,
both In discipline and In a flnaneiai way.
dr. Gage also favored the discharge of
these men in Cuba at the end of the war , so
that all who desired might remain there
and settle up the country with a more desirable -
sirable population than It now possesses.
the government of course transporting back
to the statci all 'bo desired to go back.
As an encouragement to the colored aol-
diere to remain In Cuba , and also to preserve -
serve tbeproper ratio of the sexes , the
plan goes further and prowide for the free
transportation of all colored women and
girls who desired to go and loin their coun-
tryrnen in Cuba. Mr. Gage says that from
his knowledge of the conditions In the
southern states such a moie as this would
be a desirable one for die future welfare
of both countries u.nd oftheyolored : people

-1cm' the compeUtive .dnilLiby' companies D ,
Captain Manchesterr isrnznanding. drilled
first and made a very faTorable Impression.
This was the Company that had carried the
colors for the last year and , -was anxious to
have the honor for another year. Company
B. Captain Robinson commanding , drilled
next and slightly excelled company D. Captain -
t-ain Robinson put his men through a great
number of movements in short order , and
though somewhat inclined to hurry matters
displayed a comprehensive knowledge of all
the movements provided for in the latest
tactics- Company A , Captain Louts Clark
commanding , drilled next ann carricu ou
first honors. His macn were larger than the
other boys and had the advantage of greater
experience. ThIs did not detract from the
uniform excellence in the manual of arms ,
especially the firing , and in the marching of
the company. Company C. under the corn-
ma.nd of Captain Potter , was the last to drill
and although it comprised the smallest
cadets In the battalion , the company left a
favorable impression.
The competitive drill was judged by ex-
Capjain William J Foye of the Thuraton
Rifles and ex-LJeutenants Hayward of thc
Thuraton Rifles and Cone of the Omaha
Guards. They watched the movements of
the competing companies with critical eyes
and rendered most popular decisions. Their
records for the companies in percentages
were as follows : A , 92 per cent ; B. 91 per
cent : D , 90.5 per cent ; C. SS per cent.
The individual drill was judged by Lieutenant -
tenant Campbell , U. S. A. . military in-
atructor of the High school cadets. Two nu-
enerous lots of the cadets were thrown out
of the competition on 'catch orders , " the
command to bring the gun to order arias
from present arms being a favorite order ,
There were thirty-five cadets entered in the
competition. The last three who stood up
were Pritchard , Dumnont and Whitey. They
dropped out In the order named. As soon
as It was seen that Sergeant Whitey had
won the prize he was lifted on the shoulders
of his fellow cadets of company D and car-
vied about as a hero deserved.
The unfavorable weaher seriously Interfered -
fered with a large attendance at the drill
and the poor lighting facilities of the
grounds had a deleterious effect on the en-
tbusiastn of the crowd that was present.
I The company of the Council Bluffs cadeta
that was expected faIled to put in an ap-
poarance. On the ahole the drill was quite
successful and Adjutant Frank Knight and
the other battalion omeers cere numerously
congratulated on the result of the occasion ,
I despite the untoward weather.

ti , Nanie Ciires.IoanI Delegates ,
The republican county convention to select
delegates to the congressional convention
will be held at Washington hail at 2 o'clock
this afternoon. The congressional convention -
tion will be held two hours later. As there.
is a practical unanimity of opinion In regard
to the rencrnlnatlon of David H. Mercer it is
not anticipated that either of the conventions
will be marked by any factional differences
,
and aside from the formality of the nomination -
tion they will simply serve as opportunities
for a few insplrlting speeches and for getting -
ting the rank and file in line for the cam-
paign.
I The primaries to select delegates to the
county delegate convention were held in
Douglas county yeaterday and were without
Incident. There was eaiy.oae ticket in each
of the city wards and the voting was a mere
formality. In South Omaha there were some
indications that there would two tickets in
the field merely to decide which of two factions -
tions should control the delegation , but this
difference was harmoniously adjusted and a
ticket was agreed on that was satisfactory

MORE WORK OF FOOTPADS
A. W. Olso , . , a Farmer front Near
itlnir , is Itelieveti of
itla htoth.
Thursday night , A. W. Olson. a farmer
living near Blair , Neb. , who had come to
this city' to market his produce , 'ias attacked -
tacked by two footpads at Forty-first and
Hamilton streets and after being half
strangled was robbed of $16.
Mr. Olson arrived in the city in the afternoon -
noon and after making the rounds of his
customers put up hIs team at the livery barn
of L. fletts , 812 North Twenty-first street.
Shortly after 9 oclock he called for his
horses and started to drive to Clifton Hill
addition , where his married daughter resides -
sides and with whom he intended to spend
the night. When he reached Forty-first
and Hamilton streets Mr. Olson overtook
two men who spoke to him as he passed
and asked permission to ride. They were
well dressed and apparently respectable and
Mr. Olson invited them to share his seat.
The. men mounted over the wheel , but before -
fore the team started'eelzed their benefactor
by tue throat. One held him firmly , while the
other made a careful search of his pockets
and secured $16. the proceeds of his load
of produce , When the operation was con-
eluded both sprang to the ground and es-
caped. Mr. Olson yesterday described his
experience to Mr. Betts , the liveryman , who
states that finger marks were still plainly
visible on his throat. He returned to his
( home later in the day. Mr. Olson is well
known in this city , having conducted a business -
ness for several years at Tenth and Douglas -
las streets.
A similar attempt was made in the same
part ot town a few nights ago upon S. Bar-
ris. 4113 Lafayette avenue. The young
man had spent the evening with friends near
Twenty-ninth and Cuming streets and mad-
vertentiy missed the last car Ho had
walked a ew blocks west on Cutning Street
when be encountered two muon whose des-
cnlption corresponds to that of Olson's as-
sailants. One of the men addressed liar-
na and inquired if the last car had gone
west. Harris responded that such was the
case and that It was on that acount that he
himself was on foot. "You're too fresh ,
young fellow , " said the robber , 'Throw up
your bands. " Harris felt considerable confidence -
fidence in his ability to cover ground and instead -
stead of obeying started for home with alt
possible speed. He neither paused nor
looked back until he reached Fortieth and
Cuming streets. when he found that his pur-
snore were out of the race.
