Tbe Blockade of Havana. Havaoa, April 22-8.30 p ra - > (Delayed ia iraasmisaioc.) At 4 45 o'clock thia afternoon (Friday) tbe semaphore signalled that a Beet had been sighted oo tbe eastern aide of the island. It was said to be cit5oat any colors to eho ? its oat locality. At 6 p tn tho semaphore signalled thai ie was tba United States fleet ?hieb was in sight and at 6 15 p. m . a red Sig wa* ren ap at the signal station, warning guns were fired from Moro Castle and afterwards fr Am Cabanas fortress, ad joining it. This caused excitecient throughout tbe city and was tbe first real note of war. - Wheo the first sig \ nal came from tbe semaphore statten, a British schooner which was ia the har? bor pat to sea. She was immediately followed by the German steam sr Re? mus Some time afrerward the Amer tem steamer Saratoga put to sea. Tba canoon shots from the fortress stirrei the regular troops aod voloo teers through sat fia vaoa sad tts vicin? ity, aod there was a rush to quarters. The signal guss from tbe fortifiassions echoed ta the palace and through the streets, causing people to:rush from the houses with the result that all thorough? fares were soon crowded with excited inbabuao ts. To ere . was. oo aif-n of alarm anywhere. The Spaniard) are , confident tha? Havana is prepared for any eventuality and they have great j faith in the strength of their forts, bat? teries, etc, ard in the effectiveness- of their heavy arrillery. / GUARDING AGAINST NIGHT SURPRISE As this dispatch is sent tbe civil and military authorities of Havaea f.re in consultation at tho palace, and every precaution possible to the Spaniards bas been taken to guard against a nigbt surprise, aoc to resist to attack if bom? bardment is oommeD??d. Throughout the evening tbe scenes of enthusiasm continued io tbe harbor distriots, aod San Liz*ro ^ avenue was foll of people, who shouted de ? nances at thc distant American fleet. Wheo the news of the capture af the Spanish steamer Buenaventura by the United States cruiser Nash? ville, twenty miles miles off Kejr West, reached here Admiral Manterola, the Spanish naval commaoder, wished to prevent tbe sailing of tbe American steamer Saratoga, but Captain General Blacso wis opposed to such a step, aod ah? wa? allowed to sail. ! Tiie Issue Clearly Stated j Spain's Case Made Out anc Fully Answered. A professor in Racers college, Johi C. Van Dyke, who evidently thinks tba the United States is in * the wroog ii the controversy with Spain, bas sab asitt? d to the yoong men tn hts classe the following statement of facts fer thei meditation : First-The United Si ates demand?e better government in Cuba Spain re plied to this request by granting aa tonomy. Second-The United States claimed damages for the loss of the Maine Spain in reply offered io submit the mutter to arbitration, which isa ncr Meetly just way of settlement. The United States refaeed this. Third-The United States demanded that Spain stop Btarviog the reooocen tradoa io Coba Io answer to rbte, Spain released tbe reconcentrados and granted $600,000 for their eas ten a noe. Fourth-Tbe United States declared that fighting in the island be stopped. Spain in reply granted an armistice and sin oe then has done no offer sive fighting Fifth-The United States demanded that Spain should leave Coba entirely. Spain's reply to this bas been siienoe It is to be boped that Professor Yan Dyke's yoong men understood the facts better than be does Let us answer bis statement in order : First-Tba autonomy that Spaia granted was seriously defective ; abd whatever it was, it came .so late that it had not the slightest effect upon the war, since the insurgents would theo accept nothing short of independence. Second-^-The Uoited States bas not claimed damages for the loss of tbe Maine. Spain has offered to arbitrate and the United States bas not refused the offer. Th? resolutions passed by congress do not make the loss of tbe Maine a casus belli .Third-While Spain under pressure issued au order releasing the reconcen? trados, it came too late to help them ; as for the $600,000, also granted under pressure, it is the testimony of those best qualified to know that it will never reach, tbe reconcentrados. Perhaps Professor Van Dyke knows no'biog of the corruption of Spanish officialdom io Cub*>. Fourth-President McKinlay asked for an armistice until October 1, daring which negotiations for peace were to be attempted.!'with the good effiaea of the President.'' Spain refused, saying ehe would grant one only if Gen. Gomez should ask for one. Later oo. when the Pr?sident, io view of Spain's unsatisfactory reply, bad decided to refer the whole matter to Congress, Spain suddenly deolared a ''suspension of hostilities,'' which was clearly a diplomatic.trick, since no provision was made whereby President McKinby oauld use bis "good offices" to briog about permanent peace ; moreover, an '.armfelice" of' any sort to wbicb the insurgent leader did not co-a se nt was an absurdity on its face. Fifth-The United States has deman? ded that Spain leave Cuba entirely, and with good reason, although her evacua? tion might have been accomplished by a less peremptory method than Congress bas adopted. But that muet always be io doubt. The moral reason why Spain should abandon Cuba, all quibbling over tech niceties aside, is that she is totally unfit to ha?e control of Cuba. How any one who knows bor history, her past failures, ber more reoent experi? ence both in tbe Philippines and in Cuba, can doubt that statement-that Spain is unfit-is a mystery. Her un? fitness is so extreme as to destroy our own domestic tracquality because Cuba is at our very door. If, therefore, Spain will not'relinquish ber sovereign? ty, aod if ber rebellious subjects cac not be reconciled to ber rule, tbe forcible ejection of the Spanish government from the island is the only course open to the United States mm? -??-?. i mmm Leo Blesses Spain and is Neu? tral.

Washington, April 23 -The Presi ; dent to day issued the following pro? clamation calling for 125.000 troop3 to serve two years : By the President of the United States -A Proclamation : Whereas, a joint resolution of Con? gress was approved oo the 20ch day of April, 1898, entitled "Joint resolution for the recognition of the independence of the people of Cuba, demanding the Government of Spain relinquish its authority and government of the island of Cuba, and to withdraw its land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters, aod directing the President of the United States to use the land and naval forces of the United States to carry these resolutions into effect." Whereas, by an Act of Congress enti? tled, "An Act to provide for tempora? rily increasing the military establish? ment of the Uoited States in time of war and for other purposes," approved April 22, 1898, the President is autho ized, in order to raise a volunteer army, to issue bis proclamation calling for volunteers to serve in the army of the United States. Now, therefore, I, William McKin? ley, President of the Uoited States, by virtue of tbe power vested in me by the Constitution and laws, and deeming sufficient occasion to exist, have thought 6t to cali forth, and hereby do cali forth, volunteers to the aggregate number of 125 OOO in order to carry into effect the purposes of the said resolution, ther-ame to be apportioned, as far as practicable, among the several States and Territories and the District of Columbia, according to population, a?d to serve for two years, unless sooner disoaarged \ The details for this object will be im? mediately cemmunicated to the proper authorities through the war department Io witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of tbs Ucited?States to hs affixed Done at the City of Washington, this twenty-third day of April, A.

Sbe Accepts it aa a Virtual Declaration of War. Washington, Aprii 24.-A resolu? tion formally declariog war against Spain will be introduced in the Congress of the Uoited States to-morrow. The de? cision to do so has been reached after mature deliberation, in order to safe? guard the ioterest of the Uuited States AH the arguments pro and ooo were discussed this afternoon at the White House at a conference In which President McKinley, Attorney General Griggs, Assistant Secretary Day and Senators Davis and Hale participated, and on its breaking up the announcement was made that Congress to-morrow would be asked to declare what it is held al? ready exists. This was tbe most im? portant \ Washington development on thc first war Sunday. The President will send a message to Congress to-morrow, to be delivered immediately after its oonvening, set? ting forth further fao?s in the case, and asking Congress formally to declare war in order that there may be no misucder, standing on the part of other nations The most important pointin the message from a news point of view, will be the ann^uneemeut that Spain has made for mal reply to nur ultimation. This re? ply has not been given to the public, aod it was supposed that none bad been received. Toe dooument is a formal acknowledgement by Spain, and also an acceptance by that oountry of thc ultimatum as a virtual declaration of war Congress will therefore be asked to recoguzi (bis condition of affairs aod to declaro it to (be World, using Spain's concession as a reason for it. The war resolution has been prepar? ed, and it ts understjod that the two committee* having in charge the for? eign affairs of thc two bout.es of Con- j gress will be prepared to report upon j it very speedily-probably immediately ' after the reading of the message ?n i i ffort will then be trade to bare tbe rero'ution takeu up and passed forth? with, and it is not now believed (bat there i will be any formidable opposition to j tbis oourte ia either house. Five Boats Captured in the Gulf. One of the Prizes is Miguel Jovar of 5,500 Tons, and Valuable Cargo of Cotton and Grain. Key West, April 24 -Another prize was Drought ia this tnoroiog by the Uoited Srates gunboat Helena, Com oander W. T. Swiebur&e. She turn? ed out to be the Spanish steamer Mi? nnel Jover, bound *f'"m New Orleans for Barcelona, with a cargo amounting to about 2,000 tons of cotton and grain.

Key West, Fia , April 24 -Ensign Christy, with a crew of 16 from the cruiser Dstroit and four from the flag? ship, brought into port this afternoon the oaptured Spanish steamer Catalina, Captain Fano, 3.491 tons, which left Cardiz March 7, and was bound from New Orleans to Baroelooa via Habana, for which latter port abe was makiug when taken. The Catalina was captured about 4 o'clock this (Sunday) morning, 12 miles from Habana. She was taken by the cruiser Detroit. Wheo the first shot was fired her crptaio made a desperate effort to escape bis pursuer, and the chase was prolonged for eight miles. Finally a solid shot brought her to She is carrying a cargo of 6,000 bun dies of staves. Mobile, April 24.-A special from Bttoxi, Miss., says the revenue cutter Winona from Mobile, captured the Spanish steamer Saturnina at Ship Irl? and, Miss., but likely will have to re? main io quarantine with the priz? un? til the time of quarantine detention is ou% to-morrow or next day The Saturnina is from Sagua to Ship Island, Captain Zuolaga in command, 1876 tous. New York, April 25.-A dispatch to The Press from Key West says : The gunboat Wilmington to day cap tared the Spanish schooner Candidia, with a deck load nf charcoal intended for Habana, where it is extremely val? uable for fuel. At thia writing the Ca?hiog?is bear? ing down on a schooner to the south? east. The breeza is slow, and while she bas on all sail, tbe Cushing will overhaul her shortly. She has the start, but the Cushing has the steam. The torpedo boat Porter to day cap tured the Spanish scboooer Aotooio, laden with sugar for Habana. The Antonio was sent to Ksy West with a prise orew of four sen under Naval Cadet Danoise General Lee's Return. Oje of the most striking events of the week was the triumphal progress of General Fi*zbugb Lse from Key West to Washington and the wildly enthu? siastic reception with v h i c h he has met at tbe depot, at the state department aod at his hotel. He is to day decid? edly the most prominent figure before the American people He ha* per? formed bia trying duties io Habana witb patieoce, courage and diplomacy. Ho deserves the enthusiastic approval of the people. General lise's position is a singular one. He is the demo eratic representative cf a republican ad? ministration, a Southern and Confede? rate representative of a Northern and Federal party. He is honored by South and North, by democratic and republican alike He deserves honor. No position would suit bim so well as that of General of tho invading army, thc Commander-in-chief of American and Cuban foroes in Coba The present administration has dis? tinguished itself by retaining Gene? ral L?e as Consol General at Habana and reposing pei feet confidence in him Such a policy tend? to obliterate seo tiooalism and ennoble; party polities.

Dis? patch B;at Dauotleso, Matanza?, Island of Cuba, ria K^y West, Fia , April 25, 7.42 a m.-The Uni? ted States torpedo boat Foote, Lieut. W L. Rogers commanding, has the honor of haviog been the target for the shots 6red by the Spaniards at the American Sig during the war just be? gun. The firing occurred between 5 and 6 o'clock on Saturday afternoon, while the torpedo boat was taking soundings in the harbor of Matanzas. She was within 200 or 300 yards of the shore. Suddenly a Spanish masked battery on the east side of the harbor and not very far distant from tbe Foote, fired three shot? at the topedo boat. They all went wide of the mark and the Foote returned leisurely to the Cin? cinnati, where she reported the result of her soundings and then announced that she had been fired upon The Cincinnati was anxious to steam in in? stantly and reduce the Spanish batte? ries, but she wa3 not permitted to do so No captures are reported by the fleet off Matanzas lt is alleged that two Spanish gunboats were seen in shore, but the report could not be vari Sed Between 9 and 10 o'clock last night the Dauntless was s'eaon'ng quitely to? wards Matanzas, whose lights were re? flected on the sky a few niii-s south? eastward. A large fire on shore was exciting eommeot on board the dispatob boat, and wonder was rife as to where the United States blockading fleet was to be found Suddenly a look out oo board the dispatch boat report cd:. "Torp?do boar, astern; coming up fast." A mom?ntor so later, by her lights, two red and ene green, and by a rocket which she sent op, the torpedo boat Dupont was made out. The rocket was answered by the glare from the S3archiights on board the cruiser Cin? cinnati, the beams being thrown full os the Diuotiess and on ' the Dupont. The dispatch boat of the Associated Press bad come, unawares, within three miles of tho Cubao shore and far inside the prescribed limits The Dauntless made known her iden? tity and soon a boat from the Cincin? nati, in charge of Ensign McIntyre, pulled toward her The papers and log of the Dauntless were examined and found to be satisfactory. We exchanged news aod the Cincin? nati having ordered the Dauntless to lay to, permission was requested to re? turn to Key West. Ensign Mcrn yre said he would transmit the request to tbe Cincinnati. The Cincinnati was also informed that the Dauntless would cheerfully take back aoy mail. In ten minutes a boat arrived with ?he message: "Capt. Chester's compliments and he will be obliged to you if you will take in this mail. You can go. Advise that you steam dus west six miles wheo you make your first course, or yeo may get into mere trouble." The instructions were obeyed liter? ally and the Dauntless set off on her return. Before she had gone six miles, we saw a torpedo boat astern, evidently keeping an eye on U3. Then we ?aw the Cincinnati's search light sweep the horizon and soon afterwards we heard four shots in succession. As they were not followed by any others, we presumed that some other boat had been overhauled. Certainly there was no bombardment of Matanzas com menced at night The Dauntless made a good ruo, the north gale having abat? ed and the water being smooth in thc straits she arrived off Sand Key light at 5 o'clock this morning. On Board the Flagehip New York, off Habana, April 25, 10 a m-The early morning hours to day were taken up by a vigorous chasing of moving lights The only vessels spoken was the British schooner Iolanthe, of Windsor, N. S. She was just out of Matanzas. No shots, have been fired since yesterday morn? ing on either side. The torpedo boat Porter made a daring trip into the 6hore under cover of darkness last night, and Lieut Fremout, her commander, landed with a small party and ob tained valuable information. The blockade continues under beautiful weather conditions When darkness came on last night, Morro Castle showed a powerful searctilight, and flashed it nervously around the horizon. Another short searchlight was also seen It looked to be from the direction of Santa Clara batteries, to the westward of K\ Morro.
