TUESDAY, APRIL 28. The little Cuban coasting at earner “ Am brosia Bolivar,” captured by the monitor “Terror.” The prize proved richer than at first supposed, for beside a valuable cargo of bananas and wine, she had f70,000 of Spanish silver. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27. The American bark “Saranac”, loaded with coal, has been captured at “Iloilo”, Philippine Islands, by a Spanish gunboat. The owners of the vessel in New York received notice of her safe arrival at “Iloilo”, and believe she must have been seized after reaching port. The “Saranac” is a double-decked bark, 1,027 tons and was built at Keunebunkport in 1880. The American squadron in the Pacific sailed from Mira Bay, China, for the Philippines islands this afternoon, to at tack the Spanish fleet. The distance is about 600 miles. The United Ststes has. heen official I v notified of the issuance of neutrality orders hy Italy, Netherlands. Switzer land, Norway, Sweden, Russia and Colombia. The capture hy the “Terror” on Sunday of t he sugar-laden Cuban coasting schoon er “Saco”, was not reported until to-day. The first exchange of shuts between the blockading fleet at Cuba and the shore batteries took place at noon to-day, when for eighteen minutes the “New York”, “Puritan” and “Cincinnati” bombarded t lie forts at the mmit h of Matanzas harbor. The purpose of the fleet was to locate the shore batteries b> drawing their fire. The fire was returned to prevent the comple tion of work on new fortifications. None of the shots from the batteries took effect, but unofficial reports say the bom bardment from the ships showed won derfully accurate marksmanship, silenced tlie batteries, and must have been accom panied hy fat alit ies. Of course it is im possible to ascertain the extent of damage done or number of killed. Another rich prize was capture to-day by t be “Terror”, being t lie Spanish steam er “Guido”, 2,872 tons, with provisions and money for the Spanish army in Cuba. The steamer tried to escape after the first blank shot was fired, hut three solid shot which passed through her pilot-house and upper works brought her to terms. It is not known how much specie the safe of the “Guido” contains. THURSDAY, APRIL 28. The government lias been informed that France, Mexico, Argentine Republic, Korea and Belgium have proclaimed neutrality. The small Spanish sloop “Kngracia” was captured by tbe “Newport”. She had Sfiucrtisnnrnta. SEND FOR SAMPLES. At 10c yd. We are showing more than J ' one hundred styles of Outings at this price.

EASTMAN BROS. & BANCROFT l*ORTL.YM>, 31E on board seven men belonging to the Spanish naval reserve. FRIDAY, APRIL 29. The Spanish fl*-et sailed from Cape Verde this morning; destination un known. An unofficial report says the fleet divided, a portion sailing north, presumably for ttie Canary Islands, and a portion west, presumably for Cuba, or possibly merely for a blind. Later t lie fleet which sailed north returned, two torpedo boats having been damaged by collision. It will be im jMMsiLie for tin* Cuited States to obtain reJitib’e i:ifurm it -n of it.** arrival of all or a part of the I! <•» at the Canary Islands, as the r..m is controlled by Spain. The war revenue bill passed the House to-day by vo? of 181 to 129. The regu'ar troops began to move to l he front , going to the Klorida rendezvous at Tamj a, which w ill tie the point of em barkation for Cuba. The gunboat “Nashville”, one of the three ships bloekad ing t he port of Cien fuegos, on the south coast of Cuba, cap tured a valuable prize to-day—the large Spanish steamer “Argoiiauta”, from Spain for Cienfuegos. On hoard were Col. Corijo, of the third Spanish cavalry; his lieutenant, surgeon major, seven other lieutenants, privates ami non-commis sioned officers. All were held as prison ers of war. The "Nashville” also reports a brush between the blockading fleet at Cienfue gos and two torpedo boats ami a torpedo bout destroyer, in which the Spanish boats were compelled to retreat. SATURDAY, APRIL 30. The remainder of tlie Spanish fleet, which returned to St. Vincent, Cape Verde islands, after sailing yesterday, sailed again this morning. SUNDAY, MAY 1. The tirst naval engagement A Xaral of the war took place Nun \’ictorif day at Manila, Philippine at Manila. Islands. Though official re ports of the battle have not been received here, it is safe to say tlmt it resulted in a decisive victory for the American f!o» t. under Commodore Dewey. It is safe to say this, because the only news received, which is through Spanish sources, admits Spanish defeat, with the loss of t lie best ships of the licet, but docs not mention the loss of a single American ship, dismissing the point with the mere statement that they “suffered severely.” Familiarity with Spanish press cen sorship, and Spun i-.h reluctance to admit defeat, gives reason to believe that when official news of the battle is received here it will record a crushing defeat of the Spanish fleet. It is not reasonable 1 to suppose that the unarmored or slightly protected vessels of the American fleet escaped wit bout considerable damage in hn engagement lasting several hours, but the failure of the Spanish despatches to report serious loss to our fleet is significant. For lack of more reliable information concerning the battle, the official report of t lie governor of the Philippine Islands to the Spanish minister of war is here given: “Last night, April 30, the batteries at the en trance to the port announced the arrival of the enemy’s squadron, which was forcing a passage under the obscurities of night. At daybreak the enemy took positions, opening a strong lire against the fort at Cavite and the arsenal. “Our fleet engaged the enemy In a brilliant combat, protected by the forts at Cavite and Manila, and obliged the enemy with heavy loss to change their position and manu*uvre re peatedly. “At 9 o'clock the American squadron took refuge liehlnd the foreign merchant shipping on the east side of the bay. "Our fleet, considering the superiority of the enemy, naturally suffered severe loss. The ‘Marla Christina' Is afire. Another ship, sup posed to be the 'Don .Juan de Austria’, was blown up. There was considerable loss of life. “Capt. Cadarso, commanding the* Marla Chris tina’, Is among the killed." Later reports were received to the effect that Admiral Dewey followed up his ad vantage Monday, and succeeded in occu- j pying Manila, but these reports lack con- I Urination. 1 he American fleet at the Philippines consisted of the protected cruisers “Olympia”, 5,870 tons; “Baltimore,” 4,413 tons; “Kaleigb,” 3,213 tons; “Bos ton,” 3,000 tons; the gunboats “Con cord”, 1,710 tons; “Petrel,” 892 tons. The exact number and names of the Spanish fleet are not known, but the best fighting ship* of tiie Meet were ttie “Keina Christina”, 3,520 tons; “Castilla,” 3,342 tons; “Don Juan de Austria,” “Velasco,” “Don Antonio de l lloa,” each of 1,152 tons. Besides these there were numer ous gun-boats. The Spanish fleet at Manila probably outnumbered the American fleet two • or perhaps three to one, but was not equal to it in armament. The Philippine Islands is a colony in the Malay archipelago, 000 miles from the const of China. It is composed of 1,200 islands, aggregating 111,320 square miles, or nearly twice the area of t tie New Eng land states, and more t ban t hree timesthe area of Cuba. The estimated population is 7,000,000. Manila is the largest city and the capital of the colony. Its population is 270,000. MONDAY, MAY 2. Japan has declared neutrality. The Spanish fishing schooner “Antonio Y. Pasco” was captured by the gunboat “Castine” to-day. TUESDAY, MAY 3. China issued decree of neutrality to day. Turkey has officially notified the lT. S. minister at Constantinople that it will maintain neutrality. J. MONTGOMERY SEARS’ GIFT. J. Montgomery Sears, of Boston and Bar Harbor, has given his yacht “Varuna” to the navy department as a patrol boat in Boston harbor. The “Varuna” is 81.4 feet long, 16.1 feet wide, and draws 8.4 feet of water. Her tonnage is 57. She was built in Boston in 1893. RAR HARBOR FORTIFICATIONS. Major lloxie, government engineer, visited Bar Harbor last week to select locations for the proposed fortifications. He selected Schooner Head, Egg liock and Turtle island as the most advantageous sites, commanding the entire entrance to the bay. There was no difficulty in secur ing tlie land. The points will bestrong'y j | fortified at once. The best long-range, heavy rifled guns will be used, and com- I ■ petent men will be placed in charge • f 1 them. HATH SHIP “SHENANDOAH ’ SAFE. The Bath ship “Shenandoah”, reported captured by Spain, arrived safely at Liv erpool Thursday. A tug met the “Shen andoah” off the south coast of Ireland, and towed her to Point Lyons for f 1,500 Cnpt. Murphy, of t he “Shenandoah”, was j unwilling to risk her being intercepted. | Her cargo of wheat is worth £250,000. ANOTHER POWDER MILL EXPLOSION. The Atlantic powder works at Dover, N. J., were wrecked Thursday by an ex plosion. Six men were, killed. The en tire plant is destroyed. Rumor that ex plosion was caused by Spanish spy seems unfounded. APPROPRIATIONS FOR THE NAVY. The Naval Appropriation bill, which has been agreed upon in Congress, ap propriates £57,000,000, and provides for three powerful sea-going battleships, four coast defense monitors, sixteen tor pedo boat destroyers, and twelve torpedo boats. THE “PARIS” SAFE. The American line steamer “Paris”, which is to be converted into an auxiliary cruiser, and about which much anxiety was felt, arrived in New York Saturday. Stie saw no signs or Spanish warships. The captain took a different course than usual. PRISONERS OF WAR. The thirty-five passengers on the cap tured steamer “Panama” will be held as prisoners of war. They left New York with intentions of belligerency, not of keeping the neutralities, one of the men being on the way to join the Spanish army. THE “OREGON” AT RIO JANEIRO. i lie i . n. naiiiesnip -uregon , uoumi around the Horn from the Pacific to join the Atlantic fleet, arrived nt Kio Janeiro, Brazil, Saturday evening. The safe arrival of the “Oregon” Ht Kio is learned with relief. This is well north of Buenos Ayres, where the Spanish tor pedo cruiser “Temerario” has been laying for the purpose, it was feared, of taking the “Oregon” unawares. The “Oregon” should make the run from Kio Janeiro to Key West in two weeks. THE • T )I*KKA * ARRIVES. The l*. S. cruiser “Topeka”, formerly t he “Diogenes”, one of the new acquisi tions of the navy, arrived in New York from England Sunday. She saw no Spanish vessels, and the trip across was uneventful but rough. MOBILIZING MAINE TROOPS. Maine’s national guard, consisting of two regiments of infantry, a signal corps and an ambulance corps, went into camp at Augusta Monday. All but two com panies of the second regiment are in camp, and they will arrive Wednesday. The camp is in command of Col. Ken dall, of the First regiment, and contains about 1,800 men. The troops arrived by special trains Monday afternoon and were enthusiastically welcomed. The city was gay with bunting, business was practically suspended. Salutes were fired and bells rung. A grand parade, led by Cniform KAnk, K. of P., and Canton Augusta, with three bands and the full force of men, with dis tinguished guests, took place at 6.30 p. m. It is stated that the first Maine regi ment will be ordered South if needed, and the second regiment will remain for the protection of Maine coast cities. THE SHORE LINE. About 1,500 Men on Work Between Ellsworth and Maeliias. There are about 1,500 men on Contractor Kenefick’s division of the Washington county railroad. The work is well cov ered, except on Whitney ct Cass’ con tract near Machias. Contractor Kene fick started yesterday for a trip over the line. Several contractors from Bangor and Oldtown went on the work this week. Among them were Spencer A McDonald, George T. Fowler, A. F. Lambert and Goodin & Parada. Each of these brought on about twenty men, with ( teams. One hundred more men are expected for this end of the line this week. West Franklin, April 30 (special).— !1 Railroading in Franklin is certainly ' not as brisk as we have been led to be- 1 lieve it would be. The trouble with * sub-contractors has not helped the peo- 1 pie to place the confidence in them in 1 the future as they have in i he past. Sherman Scammon is working a small crew on the unfinished piece, commenced under the supervision of Mr. Smith. The bridge contractor is doing some work in his line west of this place. 1 Prominent Calais Man Killed. Charles 1). Hill, senior member of Hill,!. Pike A Co., wholesale grocers, of Calais, was accidentally shot and killed Saturday. l He was handling a loaded revolver and in some way it was discharged, inflicting a fatal wound. Mr. Hill was a member of the board of t aldermen last year and was well known throughout the State. He was eminent j commander of Hugh DePayan’s Comman dery, Knights Templar. He leaves a i w’idow. I Pres. Hutchison, K. >1. C. S , Resigns. Rev. W. A. Hutchison has resigned the presidency of the East Maine confer ence seminary at Bucksport, to accept a position at West Chester, Pa. Mr. r Hutchison came to the seminary at the 1 opening of the fall term 1897, and has given the best of satisfaction. He will be succeeded by Rev. J. F. Haley, of Dexter, formerly a teacher in the seminary. ( --- ! Suffrage Conference Postponed. > On account of the disturbed condition of f public affairs and the suspension of bus iness in consequence of the war, the of- _ fleers of the National Suffrage association have thought best to indefinitely postpone | all of the New England conferences, in cluding that to have been held in Port land May 13 and 11. HOARD OK AI.DKRMKX. Hiuik Session ItiiI l.lirle Business Rolls Passed. The regular meeting of the board of al dermen whs held Monday evening.

Growing Stronger Cold Settled on the Lungs and Caused a Serious Cough -- Hope of Recovery Abandoned but Hood’s Sarsaparilla Cured, “ A severe cold settled on my lungs. I began to cough and kept growing worse all the time. My husband was paying out a great deal of money for medicine, but I continued to grow weaker every day, and in the winter of 1895 I gave up nil hopes of ever getting better. After this 1 read of people gaining strength by taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla and my hus band advised me to try this medicine. I purchased three bottles and began taking it. Before I had finished the first bottle I saw that I was growing stronger and my cough was looser. After taking two bottles my cough was gone. I continued taking Hood’s and I am now in better health t han I have been for years.” Mary A. Smith, LaGrange, Maine. Hood’s parilla Is the One True Blood Purifier. All druggists.
