The Itome <*orreapondent of the Ix>n- don Standard says: "The queen regent asked the blessing «»f flu* Pope upon Spanish arms. His holiness repli<*d that he sent It from his heart and hopetl to see a vindication of Spain’s rights. which had heeu trampled upon.” The officials of the United States em- bassy at I/ondon fear the United States torpedo boat Somers, now at Falmouth. is destined to remain In ICnglnnd for some time to come, us the neutrality proclamation will be issued Thursday and no convoy for the little craft, \\*itliout which It is impos- sible for her to attempt to cross the Atlantic, Ims been secured.

About 2100 Socialists and la- boring men wore present. "Tom" Maim. Ismi Is Mlclm and Lntlirop Tlth* iugton, an American, who was greeted with cries of "Good old Yankees.” made speeches. Resolutions favoring free Cuba were adopted amid cheers. Lieutenant Ramon do Carranza of the Spanish royal navy, until recently naval attache of the Spanish legation at Washington, has challenged Gener- al Fitzhugh Lee and Captain Sigsbee of the Maine to fight duels. The chal- lenges were issued on the night that the Spanish minister withdrew from Washington. Lieutenant de Carranza had determined upon his course of ac- tion immediately after General Lee and (Captain Sigsbee stated before congres- sional committees that, in their belief. Spanish naval officers were responsi- ble for the blowing up of the Maine. Neither Lee or Sigsbee paid any atten tiou to the challenge. Columbia and Minneapolis.

THE BOYS ALL READY. TROOPS FROM COLORADO. More Want to Go to War Titan the PreeJ- tlent Will Call Fur—Militia Will te Given First Chnnre. Denver, April 23.—The Republican thlH morning says: When Governor Adams calls for volunteers he will find the national guard of the state fully prepared to go to the front. With very few exceptions every member of the guard whose name ap- pears upon the roster of the various companies throughout the state is ready and anxious to go to war. They have l»eeii in readiness for some days past, and are prepared to move within a few hours after the call lias been issued. When it was announced day before yesterday that the guards throughout the country were likely to be railed upon within the next few days tin members in this state perfected their tluul arrangements to respond to the governor's call. There was not much to be done, as the preliminary arrangements had already been made. It was thought that the President would issue the call for the guards yesterday, but about noon it wus learned that the eall would not be issued before to-day. A telegram from Washington stated that the President had decided not to eall for any volunteers until the time had expired for Spain to answer to the ultimatum sent it in regard to the evacuation of the island of Cuba. When General Moses retired last evening he had everything in readiness for the mobilization of the entire guard in this city within a very few hours after Governor Adams issues the call for the men. He stated yesterday that he had so perfected his plans that every company iu the state, artillery, infantry and cavalry, could be in this city within twelve hours after the call for them had been issued by the execu- tive head of the state. The Information was given out from the governor's office yesterday after- noon that the guard of the state would Im> recognized first when the call for volunteers comes. That being the ar- rangement, it will shut cut everyone else in the state who had hoped to go south on the strength of the first call for the troops. Under the apportion- ment of the volunteers. Colorado is en- titled to send but 1.039 men to the front on the first call. As there are more guardsmen than that on the ros- ters of the companies, some of them will have to rcuiaiu at home. If all pass the examination that they will have to undergo when they re-enlist. It Is possible there may be several hundred guardsmen who will be un- able to pass the rigid examination, and in that case it will allow that number of other men to step in and take their places. Who will Is* permitted to fill the places of those who could not pass the examinations has yet to be decided. The manner of selecting those volunteers Ims not been determined. It is not definitely known whether the call for troops from Colorado will in* elude the cavalry and light artillery. When Governor Adams gets his call from Washington If it does not specify whether the troops shall Include nil three of the organizations in the state lie will telegraph to Washington for further instructions. WOODFORD REACHES FRANCE. Chivalrous Spaniard* Stone the Window of lIUTrain. Honda vp, Spanish Frontier, April 22. —General Stewart L. Woodford, the rnlted States minister to Spain, accompanied by his staff and others, reached the frontier at 8 o’clock this morning in safety after some exciting experiences. The Spnnish police at- tempted to capture a member of the legation and at Vallndoliid, the train was attacked. Mr. Moreno was the member of the United States legation signaled out by the Spanish police for capture on the ground that he is a subject of Spain, but the attempt was frustrated, owing to the presence of mind of the minister. At Vallndoliid the United States minister's train was attacked and stoned. Windows were broken and the civil guards were compelled to protect ills carriage with drawn swords. General Woodford, however, slept throughout the disturbance. The Morena incident threatened to be serious. The Spanish police made a determined effort to capture Mr. Mo- reno, but General Woodford stood in the doorway of the carriage, declaring he should not be removed by force. A detachment of police accompanied the train from Toloso to San Sebastian, where the police officials left on sw- ing that the general was determined to maintain his rights. SpHiilnrUH Anxiou* for War. Madrid. April 21.—With the going away of General Woodford all lethargy lias left the people. War specials are being cried in the streets. All the talk is of war. Everyone wondering where the first blow will be struck, and by whom. It. seems certain that Spain will leave all initiative to the United States. At the same time all the troops are being called out and massed at various pointson the peninsular. Next week at the very latest, large reinforce- ments will be dispatched to Porto Rico —ln fact a battalion has already been sent from Cuba to Porto Rico, so as to place the lesser Antilles in a better po- sition for defense. From every point in Spain notices come of enthusiastic demonstration, and the same spirit of the people is compressed into the vibrating cry. "Viva La Guerra." A CLOSE CALL. Kip ami Tuck Between tl»« Miner* ana the Mountain Lion. A number of sportsmen were recently talking over the good times they had had duck shooting last fall, when the conversation turned on hunting big game in the west. Some thrilling adventure was related by every one in the, group but an elderly man, and be in turn was asked for a story, says the Washington Star. “I don’t suppose,” began the silent man, “that any of you young fellows ever ran across a mountain lion, as they are becoming rather scarce now in the west. But early in the ’sos, when 1 first went to Colorado to hunt for gold, these ani- malß were quite numerous. 1 recall on one occasion having a little adventure with a lion that almost scared me out of my wits. With a partner I was working a claim in the mountains near Ouray, and one day before the very cold weather of the winter set in we both went to town to get some supplies, leaving our little cabin on the mountain side alone. It came on to snow so hard soon after we arrived in Ouray that we did not get a chance to return to our claim for three days. On our return journej - we noticed as we were climbing the hills the tracks of a mountain lion leading to our cabin. Present- ly, however, as we got nearer and nearer to our little home, we lost the track of the animal, and the sight of an open window, which had been carefully closed on our departure for town, caus- ed us to forget all about the lion and its presence. Well, I had reached the window and was just about to put my head into the apartment when there came a terrible growl and the next in- stant a great yellow body sprang through \he opening right on my back, its claws catching my buckskin coat and ripping it open to the waist, turn- ing me completely over and into the snow. My partner took the dangerous situation in at a glance and whipped out his gun. Then the infernal lion turned on him. making a fearful leap ir. his direction. Before he could fire the infuriated beast was upon him and, seizing him by the slack of bis coat, shook him as though he were but a rat. I was on my feet by this time, and. drawing my revolver, I sneaked up and pnt a bullet right through hie head. The animal groaned and fell back dead and my partner drew his breath freely once more. It was a close call, but neither of us was hurt, and the lion's skin in another we> k was serving as a rug at T<u\. of my bunk.” HE TALKED TOO MUCH. Silence Would Ilnve Bern (iiildrn In Thin Cace. It Is well to be always ready to apolo- gize for real or fancied injuries, but strict conscientiousness in this regard led one man into trouble, says the Youth’s Companion. "My dear,” said Mr. Kerjonrt, ns he sat down one morning to breakfast, "I came near owing you an apology just now.” "How is that?” asked Mrs. Kerjones. "This way: The postman came a few min- utes ago and left a circular. I glanced hastily at the superscription and said to myself, ’That's for my wife, but it’s nothing but some printed stufT and I'll open it.’ I opened it and read the con- tents. It was a communication calling attention to the ‘very desirable suitings’ for gentlemen's wear at a downtown tailor shop. Then I looked at the envelope again and saw I had been mistaken. It was not addressed to you. but to me—and there was no harm done." There was an ominous silence of a few moments und then Mrs. Ker- jones spoke. "Hiram,” she said, "do I ever open any mail addressed to you?" “No. of course not, but ” "When you opened that circular you- thought it was for me, didn’t you?’ r “Yes. but ” "And just because yotr found out afterward that it wasn’t and you had been guilty only in intention of meddling with mail matter addressed to me personally you think you? haven’t done anything wrong ami don’t owe me an apology, do you? Is that you idea of right and justice, Hiram Kerjones? It’s something to joke about, is it. that you only meant to commit an uncivil and discourteous act and did not actually do it? That will make an amusing story to tell at the club, won’t it? Suppose you hadn’t looked again at the envelope? Then it would have been still funnier, wouldn’t it? You could have told how your wife was a regular purchaser of desirable' suitings for gentlemen at downtown tailor shops! You ‘came near owing, me an apology.’ did you? The intention doesn’t constitute the crime when it comes to opening your wife’s mail! Hiram Kerjones ” But Hiram hastily seized his hat and lied from the storm. Who shall say he did not de- serve it? Canning. Bunco—But. my friend, this is a gold bar, not a £-;M brick. B’Gosh—All right. I’ll buy it. then!
