icefield Advertiser Tl'OS. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27. The city of Paris has sailed all the way around the coast of Scot land to avoid the Spanish war ship. Representative Cannon after a conf?rence with the President says $200,000,000 war bonds will be is sued next week. South Carolina's quota of troops, undBr the call of the President, will be one regiment of infantry, one batall ion, and one company of heavy artillery. They will ren dezvous at Charleston. The U*nited States has sent an uiimatum to Portugal that if she allows the Spanish fleet to re?ir in longer at the Cape de Verde islands she will be considered an ally of Spain and the enemy of the United States. Advices from London Apri1 25th, indicate that Portugal will order Spanish war ships out of her harbors. Geul. Milec says it will take from six wesks to two mouths to equip a velunteer army and that it is his purpose to effect a landing in Cuba as soon as possible. Rich mond, Atlanta, and Washington have been secured as camps of in struction. These troops will be afteryards concentrated at Cbica mauga Park. The volunteers will probably be kept at their respec tive State capitals for a month af . ter enlistment. The newspaper men are read}' to lay down the pencil and take up the guns of war. This was shown last night when two of the Chronicle's staff enliFt ed. They are Messrs Mike Walsh and J J Farrell of the Chronicle's staff. Both the afternoon papers have been represented in the militia, and now ali the Augusta papers have men ready to do duty as soldiers and war correspondents when the call to arms comes. Augusta Tribune. We get this little soical item from an Arkansas exchange : "Major Williams did nor mean to shoot Colonel Scott through the left lung yesterday. Tho major is near-sighted, and mistook the colonel for another man. The major has apologized." That was considerate. Under similar circumstances some men would have walked off without thinking of an apology. . The first plank in the prohibi tion plr.tiorm is as foTows : ' "First. We declare our alle giance to the regular Democratic party and our suggested nominees stand pledged to a abide the result of the Democratic prima, y election." And yet the convention's "suggest ed nominees" must swear they are not "suggerted nomines" in order to comply with the requirements of the Democ atic constitution. Columbia Reco -d. The Edgefleld Rifles held a meeting in our court house on Monday night of this week, the purpose being to con sider the matter of responding to the call for volunteers under the procla mation of the President. Messrs. 3?. P. Wells and S. M. Smith Esqs., made very patriotic speeches. Mr. Wells spoke to the purport that the Edge fleld Rifles had, as an organization, served through two wars and that they ought to have in this war a place in the picture near the flashing of the guns, and that individually he was ready and willing to enlist for service on Cul?an soil. Mr. Smith's speech was equally patriotic and eloquent, lt was decided however not to offer any resolutions at this meeting tendering the services of the company as a whole. There will be further action, however, on the matter of getting up an Edge field company for service io Cuba. In this connection a little ancient histo ry might be worth quoting. In the Revolutionary War Edgetield county had not been established, but from the territory now Edgefleld, county, although sparsely settled, there were several companies who fought for American independence, and a few tories who clung to the mother country. In the war of 1S12 there were three companies from our county; in the Florida war three; in the Mexican war one, and in the Confederate forty ty-tive. In all these Wars Edgefield county sent more than her quota of troops and they made history. FITZ. Lee? Fitz Lee? Uncle Bob's nephew? A chip o' the old block?

TEE NASHT?LLE '. CAPTURES ME PR?ZI Spanish Ship Buena" Ven tura, Lumber Laden, Towed Into Port Ignored First Shot, But Move to When Second Came Dan gerously Near Ker How. Key West, April 22.--The Uni ted States cruiser Nashville has captured thu Spanish steamer Buena Ventura for Rotterdam, having on board a cargo of lumber. She was on her way from the coast of Texas. Tb3 Nashville towed her prize into the harbor at ll o'clock this morning. The news of the capture of the Spaniard sot the people of Key West frantic with enthusiasm. All werk was suspended and the docks were soon crowded. The United States fleet was about twelve miles off Sand Key light this morning at 7 o'clock, when the Spanish merchantman was sighted, bound nor^h. The gun boat Nashville ran her down and put a shot across her bows from the 4-inch gun on the port side aft, manned by Lieutenant Dilling ham. The Spauiard ignored the shot; but another closer to her bows, brought her to. A prize crew, under Ensign T. P. Magruder, was put aboard, Capt. Lucarraga, in command of her, was astonished. He said he did not km w that war had been de clared; but when he was informed of the state of affairs he shrugged his shouldere and accepted the situation philosophically. The Nashville has taken on stores and will return to the fleet carry ing Ensign Magruder, who will be relieved by Ensign Carlton, of the Snow. A body of marines is pacing the deck of the Spaniard ; and her crew of 28 ?re lounging about the decks in nonchalant fashion. NOT a. mau is in irons. According to prize laws,Capt. Maynard will tum the prisoners of war over to the United States district attorney, who will decide the question of their disposition. The monitor Puritan is taking on coal and water and wiil sail to join the fleet to-night. Ou excellent authority i; is re ported the destination ot' the fleet is Matanzas. On board '.he flag ship is Captain Arranguren, broth er of the late Brigadier General Nestor Arranguren. He will pilot the fleet to Matanzas. The Cuban pilots went ou board last night after 12 o'clock. The Detroit sailed to join the fleet this afternoon. It is believed that one of twe ships will be left at least temporarily. Galveston, April 22.-The Span ish steamer Buena Ventura, cap tured by the United States gunboat Nashville, is a tramp steamer hail ing from Bilboa, Spain. She be longed to the Sarrinaga line. On March 29, she arrived at Fasca goula, Miss., from Havana, and was on the way to Pensacola, Fla., to load for Holland when captur ed. Mobile, Ala., April 22.-The Buena Ventura, from Pascagoula, Miss., which was captured by the Nashville, was loaded by Mobile parties for Rotterdam with 875, 000 feet of lumber, valued at $10, 900. _ President's Call for Volunteers. Washington, April 23.-The President to-day issued the fol lowihg proclamation calling for 125,000 troops to serve two years: Bv the President of the United States-A Proclamation : Whereas, a joint resolution of congress was approved on the 20th day of April, 1898, entitled "Joint Resolution for the Recognition of the Independence of tho People of Cuba, demanding that the govern ment of Spain relinquish its au thority and government of the island of Cuba, and to withdraw its laud and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban water?, and directing the President of the United States to use the land and naval forces of the United State* to carry these resolutions into effect," and, Whereas, by an act of congress, entitled "an act to provide for tem porarily increasing tho military establishment of the United States in time of war, and for other pur poses," approved April 22, 1S98, the President is authorized in or der to raise a voluDicer arm}', to issue his proclamation calling for volunteers to serve in the army of the United States. Now, therefore, I, William McKinley, President of the United States, by virtue of power vested in me by the consti tution and the laws, and deeming sufficient occasion to exist, have thought fit to call forth and hereby do call forth volunteers to the ag gregate number of 125,000, in or der to carry into effect the purpose of said resolution, thc same to be apportioned, as far as practicable, among the several states and terri tories and the District of Colum bia, according to population and to serve for two years, unless soon er discharged.

( By the President : . i John Sherman, Seerefy of Slate, j ( TG ARMS! 70 ARMS! Manifesto" of the Captain General of Cuba. spaniards iu Cuba Exhorted to Defend thc Honor of Spain. Vigorous Denunciation of United Statos. Havana, April 21.-The Official Gazette publishes an extract of the following manifesto: 'The general government of the Is land of Cuba to the inhabitants of Island of Cuba; "Without any reason or legality, without the least offense on our part, acd at a time when they received from us only proofs of friendship, the United States are forcing us into war just at the moment when quietude began to settle over the country, when production was flourishing, com merce taking courage and peace approaching, with the co-operation of all classes and all parties under the new institutions granted by the mother contry. "Such a proceeding U without precedent in history. It evidently manifests the bogus politice of tho Republic, demonstra ting 'he tricky plans and purposes that have always been nourished against SpainV sovereignty in Cuba, which the enemy has been conspiring for nearly a century to destroy. Our foes now carry their hypocrisy and falsehood to the extent of demand ing immediate peace in a war provoked and snstatained by them selves; her prudence and moderation have been of no avail to Spain, though she has carried her concessions to the extrenu limit of toleration in order to avoid a rupture. .'She still deplores this state of affairs, but she accepts it with al] the energy inspired by a glorious national history and the pride of her people-a prido which wil) j never yield to tho strangers' haugh tiness nor consent to see Spain's ; right and reason trampled upon I by a nation of nobodies. If the United States want the Islaud of Cuba let them come and take it. Perhaps the hour is not far distant in which these Carthageuiaus of America will find their Zama in this island of Cuba, which Spain discovered, peopled and. civilized and which will never be anything but Spanish. "It is our turn to have the honor of defending her, and we will know how to do it with decision and au effort many a time put forth. I count upon you for this with absolute ' certainty. I believe there is no sacrifice you arc not prepared to make in defense of the national territory. Whose integrity is sacred to all Spaniards, of whatever origiu, I am sure that every ono in whose veins runs Spanish blood will respond readily lo the call which, in these solemn moments, I address to all, and that all will group themselves around mo to contribute as much as they can to repel a foreign invasion, without allowing dang ers, sufferings or privations to weaken the heart or courage "To arms, then, fellow country men- to arms! There will be a place for all in the fight. Let all co-operate and contribute with tho same firmess and enthusiasm to fight the eternal enemy of the Spanish name, emulating the ex ploit? of our ancestors, wha always exalted high their country's fame and honor. To arms! Cry a thousand time?, Viva Espa?a! Viva el Rey, Alfonso XIII! Viva la Regente! Viva cuba, always Spanish ! "Your Governor General, "Pamon Blance." SENATOR GAINES RESIGNS. lion. J. M.

I MIM BOWN A MAN CF WAE Sensational Chase of ?the Cincinnati Yesterday. Vessel Proved to be a Magnificent Italian Cruiser-Salutes Ex changed and She Passed Out Without More Ado. Oa Board the Flagship New York, off Havana, April 23, 2 p. m. -(Filed Key West, midnight, April 23,)-The Puritan, Nashville, Marblehead and Ericcson arrived from Key West this morning. The Ericcsou almost immediately returned to Key West with dispatches. At lOo'lock this morn ing the monitor- Puritan,-' the cruiser Cincinnati, the gunboats Machias, Nashville,-Castine and the torpedo boats Foote and Wins slow left the squadron to blocakade Matanzas, Mariel and Cardenas. They formed separate divisions, and after they had passed out of sight the remainder of the fleet took up a regular formation, having drifted some fifteen miles from Morro Castlt. The general advance was made at half speed. Captain Evans, not quite certain of the position ne was entitled to take with the Iowa, caught up abreast of the flagship and shouted through the megaphoue: "How near may I go?" Rear Admiral Sampson, who was standing on the after bridge, replied: "As near'as you can without drawing the fire of the batteries." "AU light," Captain" Evans shouted back in tonef that ex pressed the keenest disappoint ment. The Iowa then went ahead. About half an hour after the squad ron waa well under way ?he cruiser Cincinnati was seen on the eastern horizon, the smoke pouring from her ld II neis. .She had been headed for Ma tanzas and evidehtly had turned back tn chase some vessel. The object of her pursuit was soon made ont, standing weil toward Hie coast. The flagship, the cruiser Marblehead and the gun boat Wilmington immediately turned mit of course to beau the warship off. The remainder of the squadron pro ceeded to the westward. Smoke pour ed from our ships. The llagship was making IS knots, the whole vessel throbbing with the vibrations of her .-.?revs. The little Wilmington steam ed np in splendid style, and the fast cruiser .Marbiehead kept nearly abreast. Tile formidable trio bore down upon the warship. Then a shout went lip, ".She isa Spaniard!" For the next ten minutes the excitement was ter rific. The distance which separated the vessels rendered impossible to make ont the warship's identity. She was thought to be the Viscyya or the Al mirante Oquendo, heading hard for Havana. The men at the guns shouted with glee. The stokers oil' duty below cheer ed vociferously and begged to be al lowed to go on deck to help shoot at the first armed enemy met. The offi cers crowded on the quarter deck as elated as the men, though under better control. The bugler blew "General Quarters." All hands flew to their posts. Down came the shrouds with a rattle. The lifelines vanished from' the deck, Rear Admiral Sampson, stepping on the bridge, said deliberately " to Captain Chadwick, "ues, the Oquendo or the- Vizcaya," and then added: "I should like to bag them both."' Then it was seen thattbe chase was flying an Italian Hag, but this was no^ proof that behind her still invisible"* guns Spaniards were not concealed, ready to shoot under advantage or subter fuge. All the ^uns on the New York's port side and in the forward and after turrets were trained on the stranger. A few minutes later, when about 1,500 yards separated the New York from her target, the American Hag was run up by tiie arship, and then it was known she was not a Spaniard. A pull" of smoke issued rrom her sides, and the boom of a gun sounded across the waters, lt was only a salute, buc at lirst many on board thought Rear Admiral Sampson had been de ceived. But the warship Ured 25 guns as a sal ute, which was returned by the dagsh ?, which also Hew an Italian ?lag. - be stranger was then made out to be the Giovaniua Baus?n, a power ful cruiser. Without further formalin ties, she pursued her course and enter ed Havana harbor. Thus ?tn exciting incident ended in disappointment, but it served to show how anxious all hands are foi a real light and how splendid the disciplino is when a contingency seems imminent.
