FRED GRANT TO THE FRONT.
New York, April 20. A World dispatch
from Washington says:
Fred D. Grant has tendered his services
to the government. The colonel Is un
able to enlist, as he is a tew years too
old. and can only be given a commission.
1 do not think there Is any question
about war now, he said, but we may have
some little dlttlculty In getting the Span
iards out of Cuba. They apparently want
to tight, and our army will have some
thing to do sooner or luter. Of course
there will be but one result thut the
Spaniards will be driven out of the Islands.
