'All the old soldiers bore wlio don't hold 'lucrative offices in the "Granges" are onthusiasti for war. A good many robol soldiers have como6 over the river frotu Kon. tucky to live in Terro Haute. They are for war, too. They all desired to be colonels or generals excct one nian, who said his heart throl-bed so for the Stars and St ipes that he was willing to take a sutlership. I have telegraphed - General Graut that Terre llauto alone can supply 1,000 officers, and all that the Government will havo to do will be to appoint a few privates. Colonel Gapin says lie is ready to fly to arms. le has probably flown before this. Ile says his heart burns for the American eagle, and he can hardly keep from rushing on to New York, where le can be first to. say "good bye to the brave Cuban patlriots."1 Adjutant Sterne says lie fought all through tle Iate war, somectilites on onlo sido fnd I:o ietiius on the oth an1d, rather than see America kitel ifg at the foot of Spain, lie would gladly welcorne war-war to ti.-' knife-arid accept a pay maote Iship.
