President is Expected to Call for Volunteers. f (FROM THE ADVERTISER EXTRA). KEY WEST, (Fla.), April 23. An incoming tug reports that the New York lias captured a Spanish passenger steamer plying between Havana and Porto Rico. The torpedo flotilla is coming in. It is believed here that the prize captured by the Flagship New York is the Alfonso XII., the mail steamer due at Havana today (not the warship of that name). The Spanish ship tried to run away, but the New York gave chase, firing shot after shot until the Spaniards hove to and surrendered. KEY WEST, (Fla.), April 22. Patrick Mullen fired the first shot in the war between Spain and the United States, and the big Spanish freight steamer Buena Venture is the first prize of this country. She was captured this morning eight miles south of Sand Key Light when the fleet of Rear Admiral Sampson had been gone from here scarcely an hour on its way to Havana.. The Spanish vessel was brought to this port. SHANGHAI, April 22. The American squadron at Hong kong has sailed for Manila. It is- reported that the priests and the commercial classes favor surrender, but the military is' determined to resist. MADRID, April 22. The Spanish Government states that it intends, as soon as the Americans bombard Havana, to do the same to Washington, Philadelphia and other points. a. :SXS"f S PKOCLAMA.TIOX ISSUED. Blockade of All Cuban Ports Or dered Hy the President. WASHINGTON, April 22. The fol owing proclamation, announcing the blockade of the Cuban ports, was is sued today: BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNIT ED STATES A PROCLAMA TION. Whereas. By a joint resolution pass ed by the Congress and approved April 20, 1S98, and communicated to the Gov ernment of Spain, it was demanded that said Government at once relin quish its authority and government in the Island of Cuba and withdraw its naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters, and the President of the Unit ed States was directed and empowered to use the entire land and naval forces of the United States and to call into the actual service of the United States the militia of the several States to such extent as might be necessary to carry said resolution into effect; and Whereas, In carrying into effect such resolution the President of the United States deems it necessary to set on foot and maintain a blockade of the north of Cuba, including all ports of said coast between Cardenas and Bahia Honda, and the port of Cien fuegos on the south coast of Cuba; Now, therefore, I, William McKin ley. President of the United States, in order to enforce the said resolution, do hereby declare and proclaim that the United States of America has institut ed and will maintain a blockade of the north coast of Cuba, including ports on said coast between Cardenns and Bahia Honda, and the port of Cienfue gos on the south coast of Cuba, afore said, in pursuance of the laws of the United States and the laws of nations applicable to such cases. An efficient force will be posted, so as to prevent the entrance and exit of vessels from the ports aforesaid. Any neutral ves sel approaching said ports and at tempting to leave the same without notice or knowledge of the establish- ment of such blockade will be duly warned by the commander of the blockading forces, who will indorse on her register the fact and the date of Yessels Captured in Southern of AH Cuban Ports. f S 4f .0 (5) SXSf-f 4-f 4-f ' such warning and where such indorse ment as made, and if the same vessel shall attempt to enter any blockaded port she will be captured and sent to the nearest convenient port for such proceedings against her and her cargo as prize as may be deemed advisable. Neutral vessels lying in any of the said ports at the time of the establish ment of such blockade will be allowed thirty days to issue therefrom. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal or the United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington, this 22d day of April, A. D. 189S, and of the Independence of the United States the one hundred and twenty-second. WILLIAM McKINLOT. By the President: JOHN SHERMAN, Secretary of State. THE PRESIDENT'S INTENTIONS. Proposes to Ask Congress for Deelara atlon ot War. WASHINGTON, April 22. It is the present intention of the President to send a message to Congress tomorrow asking for a formal declaration of war. A special session of the House has been called for 10 o'clock tomorrow for the purpose of passing the army reor ganization bill in time for final action on that measure by the Senate when it mets at noon. The Secretary of the Navy has asked Congress for authority to enlist a naval auxiliary force to man the torpedo fleet intended for coast defense purposes. There is a difference of opinion be tween Secretary Alger and General Miles as to the time of movement of necessary troops and fleets into Cuban territory. Secretary Alger, carrying out the wishes of General Lee, it is under stood, wants the troops to go ahead without waiting for the call for volun teers. General Miles, on the other , hand, thinks it dangerous to send less than 50,000 troops into Cuba, and ! deems it advisable to wait until this number has been organized and drilled before an attempt is made to occupy the island. PRESIDENT IS OT SL'Iii:. Asks Attorney-CJeneral If IIo Has Authority to Call Volunteers. NEW YORK, April 22. A Herald Washington correspondent telegraphs With a preamble to cover the present situation, a proclamation calling for 100,000 volunteers, couched essenti.illy in the language of Abraham Lincoln's first call for troops, was prepared at the War Department and take to the President shortly after he had signed the volunteer army act. In the discus sion of the issue of the proclamation, the President himself called attention to the fact that Congress has author ized no limit to the number of troops that may be called out. The volunteer army act provides the President shall issue his proclamation stating the number of men desired within such limits as may be fixed by law. President McKinley, however, is not satisfied that his authority under law to call out men is yet sufficient, with out express authorization by Congress of a stated limit. On account of this uncertainty Attorney General Griggs has been requested to give a decision. LETTERS OF M'AKQUE. Spanish Organ ltelleves In Hlght of Prlvateerlne:. MADRID, April 22. El Epoca (Con servative) discusses the question of privateers, and expresses a doubt of the truth of the report ihat the United States has renounced this option, "in as much as America and Spain were the only nations that maintained the option at the Congress of Paris in 1856." The paper insists that all the arguments then adduced by the United States for upholding the option now are in favor of Spain, who will not re nounce it." El Epoca says also that "Spain does not consider fair the declaration of the neutral powers as to contraband of war, thus favoring one of the belliger ents, namely, America," and it cites the case of England in 1885, who op posed stoutly the action of France in the. Tonquin war in declaring rice con traband. "All that England then alleged in favor of British subjects;" says El Epoca, "can be urged by Spain respect ing coal, which is the bread of life of industry, without which modern war fare is impossible." Respecting the blockade of Cuba, El Epoca calls to mind and invites the at tention of Europe to the fact that "both America and Spain accepted clause four in the declaration of Paris, providing that 'a blockade must be ef fective and not on paper.' " El Epoca declares that twice the present American fleet would not be adequate to establish an effective blockade of Cuba. Moreover, under the established rules, a blockade requires previous notification to the authorities of Cuba and the powers, allowing all shipping a definite term to clear out of the blockaded ports. TOPEKA 1H REPORTED SUNK. New Cruiser IJoaght liy IT. S. Goes Down Off Falmouth. LONDON, April 22. The Daily Mail says this morning that it is stated in Falmouth shipping circles that the American cruiser Topeka, formerly the Diogenes, which left Falmouth on the evening of Tuesday, April 19th, found ered in collision with the bark Alba tross at midnight on Thursday. Ac cording to the Daily Mail, the captain of the Albatross asserts that after the collision the steamer, whose name he did not ascertain, flashed a light and suddenly disappeared. He believes she foundered. Mission a Failure. HAVANA, April 22. The committee that went early in the week to Santa Cruz del Sur as agents of the autono mists to try and persudae the insur gents to accept the armistice offered by Spain will be back in Havana Sunday, it is expected. Its misson was a fail ure. It did not even get a chance to speak to the insurgent leaders whom it was asking to turn to peace. f Armistice at an End. LONDON, April 22. The Madrid correspondent of the Daily News says the Government has instructed General Blanco to declare the armistice in Cuba ended. THE PARIS MAY HE CAPTURED. Union I.Iuer Leaves Southampton With Cuoro of Ammunition. SOUTHAMPTON, Eng., April 22. The steamer Paris of the American line, chartered by the United States Government, sailed at 2:13 p. m. for New York, though her regular sailing day is Saturday. She had 350 passen gers, and her cargo included a quan tity of guns and ammunition. There was great enthusiasm among the crowds on the docks, and the band of the Union Steamship Company's steamer Britain played "Yankee Doo dle" as the Paris steamed seaward. The Paris passed Hurst Castle at 3:35 p. m. LONDON, April 23 The Daily Mail says: The Spanish embassy notified the Madrid Government of the depart ure of the Paris, and it is believed that fast cruisers from Cadiz and Corunna will try to intercept her. The Liverpool correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says: . Surprise was expressed here today (Friday) that the Paris should have sailed unescortoi, especially as there were rumors In the Mersey that Spanish war vessels were waiting to Intercept here off the south coast of Ireland. Yet the passengers of the Paris were assured of iheir per fect safety. The Chronicle publishes a rumor vhat the American liner Paris had alreidy been captured by Spanish warships. RELIEVE IIEil SAFE. Oregon and Marietta Left Callao for Ilrazll on April 5. NEW YORK, April 22. The Wash ington correspondent of the Herald says: Learning that the Spanish tor pedo gun vessel Temerario is still at Montevideo, naval officers heaved a sigh of relief and have ceased to worry about the safety of the battleship Ore-' gon and the gunboat Marietta. The Oregon left Callao, Peru, April 5, and it is believed that during the 17 days which have since elapsed she has cov ered a distance 4,300 miles, which would place her at this time in about the vicinity of Montevideo. There is reason to believe the Oregon and the Marietta, when next heard from will be reported at Rio de Jan eiro. Minister Bryan, the American representative to Brazil, has made ar rangements for coaling the ships im mediately upon their arrival. Brazil cannot refuse to permit the vessels to purchase sufficient coal to carry them to Key West, her neutrality obligations only requiring that she shall not per mit her ports to be used as a base of operations by one power against an other. After leaving Rio de Janeiro the Oregon and the Marietta will steam at once to Key West, where they will coal. They will then join the North Atlantic Squadron. I was told at the Navy Department today that the Nich- theroy had not sailed from Rio de Jan eiro, and the officials state now that as war is now on between the United States and Spain the former Brazilian cruiser will be held at her present an chorage until the arrival of the Ore gon and the Marietta, which will con voy her to the United States. It ha3 developed that Brazil declined lo sell the Nichtheroy with her battery, so that when she starts for this country she will have no guns aYoard. Coal All Routcht Up.
