Loudon, April 29.—The depart
ure of the Spanish fleet from the
Oape Verde islands is regarded as
the first really important news of
he war. No further information
ias been received here as toils des
tination, but it is considered not
unlikely that it will go to the
Canary Islands to await reinforce
ments from Cadiz, without which
it is considered a hopeless task to
attempt to attack Rear Admiral
Sampson’s fleet. It is also sup
posed that it may attempt to in
tercept the American cruiser Ore
gon.
The idea that it will attempt to
bombard the United States coast
cities is not seriously regarded
here.

London, Apiil 30.—The Vienna
correspondent of the standard
says: "That Russia should allow
the United States to retain the
Philippines without ample com
pensation to Russia and her allies,
appears as doubtful as that the
islands should be allowed to fall
into the hands of England by ar
rangement with the United States
without snch difficulties arising as
might easily lead to war among
the great Powers.”
WHAT BISMARCK BAYS.
London, April 30.—The Berlin
Correspondent of the Standard
says: "Prince Bismarck think?
Germany must abstain from inter
ference in the conflict of the United
States with Spam, as long as pos
sible, but that she must interfere
instantly and most energetically,
the moment her interests demand
interference. Therefore he thinks
Germany ought not to bind her
hands by neutrality declarations.'’

The National Volunteer UeserveH
Has for its purpose the enroll
ment of all male citizens between
the ages of 18 and 45, who will act
as an auxiliary, a resource and an
encouragement to the national
guard.
The policy of the general goveru-
meut is to maintain a minimum
standing army; the policy ot the
different States is to maintain
only a limited enlisted militia;
the object of the national volon
teer reserve is to supplement the
strength of both State and general
government by the enrollment
of eligible citizens who in an emer
gency can be instantly called into
active service thereby avoiding un
necessary delay and expeusiwof eu-
movement to so express himself, ‘
aud enrollment blanks can be ob
tained at the office of Capt. E. W.
Lloyd, Evans street, this citj
appended and if not clear to every
reader of this article it will be the
plea«ure of any member of the
committee, whose names are sab-
scribed to this paper, to furnish
all information desired.
