patrol duty in shallow waters. She is of 151 tons gross register, 119 feet long and 20 feet beam. She was built at Chester, Pa., and her home port is New York.
 It was said at the Navy Department that no additional information had been received of the movements of the Spanish fleets rendezvoused at Cadiz and at the Cape de Verde Islands. Every step taken by these fleets is promptly reported to the department by the agents abroad. One officer ex- plained that it was very necessary to receive with the greatest caution re- ports of the ships, as Spain naturally will try in every way to mislead the United States.
 Most of the vessels of the Asiatic squadron, which, according to press dispatches, is to sail with sealed or ders, according to the latest published advices, were rendezvoused at Hong kong. The squadron is under com mand of Commodore George Dewey, well-knoWn and trusted naval officer, and is made up of several vessels, ex- cluding the colliers recently purchased by the department. The Olympia, a protected cruiser is the flagship, with a speed of over tWenty-one knots, while the other ships are the protected cruisS CT Baltimore, of twenty knots; the pro- tected cruiser Raleigh, of nineteen knots; the protected cruiser Boston, fifteen knots; the gunboat Concord, of nearly seventeen knots; the gunboat Petrel, of nearly twelve knots; and the iron ship Monocacy, of eleven knots.

MARCHED WITH HER SON
 THROUGH CHICAGO STREETS.
Gray-Haired Woman the Central Figure in Pathetic Scene Wit
 messed by Thousands.

CHICAGO, April 24.-A sight for Spartan eyes was witnessed here to- day as the first detachment of naval recruits from Chicago and Milwaukee marched down the smooth asphalt of Jackson boulevard to the Pennsylvania depot, en route for New York to enter active service Notwithstanding that the escort of 500 blue jackets of the Illi- nois Naval Reserve were showing a faultless drill, while the strains of "The Star Spangled Banner" were resOund- ing from a gorgeously arrayed band, said to be one of the first outdoor or ganizations ever gathered in Chicago; notwithstanding that every man of the 124 recruits was waving a SmaH Ameri- can flag, there was something else that had greater interest for the crowds of people that lined the sidewalks in front of the hotels, clubs, theaters and Board of Trade Everybody watched one fig ure in black.
 Right among the marching recruits and keeping close alongside of a strap ping young fellow in a light overcoat who was carrying a small travelling grip was a woman of nearly sixty years. She was dressed in mourning, and many a hurrah was hushed as peO- pie caught the first glimpse apparently of a widowed, gray-haired mother per sonally taking her son into the rank and file of the boys in blue. She kept an arm around him and her head bowed, noticing no one else, Perhaps twenty other women and girls-moth- CTS. wives and sweethearts-walke1 with the recruits, but the attention of the spectators followed only the lone woman in black until she was lost in the distance.

TO CAPTURE AMERICAN
 MILLIONAIRES' YACHTS.
spanish Craft Will Keep a Sharp Lookout on the Mediterranean

MADRID, April 24.-The decision to reserve the right to issue letters of marque is received with satisfaction by the population in Spanish ports and coast towns. It is estimated though it is difficult to say upon what grounds, that in a very brief period between 15O0 and 2000 corsairs can be equipped ready for securing the seas in search of con- traband of war destined for the United States.
 Much indignation is expressed here over the capture of the Buena Ventura which is said to be contrary to the usages of war, hostilities not having been openly proclaimed before the ves- sel was taken.
 There is a great deal of talk about keeping sharp lookout for yachts be- longing to American millionaires, which, as the Imparcial ingeniously says, would be worth capturing, as those in the Mediterranean alone at the present time represent value of many millions. Among them are the Valiant Marguerite, Sultan, Nahm and Arctu- rus. Swift vessels belonging to the Spanish navy are to cruise about the Straits of Gibraltar, the Suez canal and the English Channel, so as to make prizes of any of these yachts that may attempt to pass through.

PRESIDIO MEN
 IN A WRECK
Third Section of Their Train Runs Into a
 Freight.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

FL PASO, Texas, April 24.-The third section of the special Southern Pacific train engaged for transporting the First Infantry of the United States army from the Presidio at San Fran cisco to New Orleans was wrecked last night at midnight near Alden, N. Mex. fifty miles west of this place The third section of the soldiers special was commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Bisby. It passed Alden at midnight, seven minutes ahead of time. A west bound freight had orders to take the siding at Alden to make way for the last section, but the soldiers train passed the siding before the freight reached it and the two trains met in a head end collision a few rods beyond the siding.
 Neither train was running at a high rate of speed, but the shock was suffi- cient to wreck both engines, derail sev- tral freight cars and smash a number of flat cars in the special, which were loading with ambulances and army wagons. Many wagons were shattered into kindling wood and portions of others were strewn over the prairie in the vicinity.
 The men on both engines jumped in time to save their lives, but a man named Kline, who was stealing a ride on the freight, was crushed beneath the debris and died later.
 The soldiers were badly shaken. but none were injured. Their train was de- tafned at Alden twelve hours until the wagons had been replaced on other flat cars sent out from Fl Paso and the track cleared by a wrecking outfit. The first two sections of the train arrived here at o'clock last night and lay over at this point during the entire day awaiting the third section, which did not arrive until o'clock this afternoon.
 The men and officers complained bit terly against the Southern Pacific. at- tributing the delay to mismanagement. This is the second long delay which has occurred on the Southern Pacific since the troops left the Presidio. The train bearing the Third Artillery, which preceded the Infantry, was detained ten hours by a wreck on the same line at Dragoon Summit. The entire in fantry force pulled out at o'clock for New Orleans, with the exception of six privates, who, while out seeing the sights, missed the train. The force passing here to-day numbered 500 men and about twenty-five officers, under command of Colonel Evan Miles. Nearly all the soldiers have seen serv- ice during the Indian wars.

lanX behind the Chief Executive the declaration of war will be passed with out word of debate and upon the roll call 1t is not likely that there will be a dissenting voice.
 Following the declaration of war the House will proceed to the work of pro- Viding the sineWS with which to prose- cute it. But upon this there will not be Q unanimity. The Republicans and Democrats hold widely different views as to the methods by which the reve- nueS to carry on the war should be raised No factious opposition how ever, will be offered by the minority. The leaders of the minority are ex- tremely anxious, and they will insist so far as they are able upon present. ing such substitute propositions as are in line with their ideas and doctrines for the bill framed by the Republican members of the Ways and Means Com mittee which Chairman Dingley intro- duced into the House yesterday.
 The Democrats of the House and es- pecially the leaders and the members of thtss WaA3s and Means Committee. feel aggrieFed because they have neither been consulted nor had a voice in the preparation of the war revenue measure. In face of a foreign enemy they say they have sunk party consideration and have voted to uphold the hands of the President, and they believe that in realizing war inasmuch as they are expected to acquiesce they should have a share. For the Republi- cans to meet in secret and prepare a measure strictly according to their own ideas they maintain is display of par tisanship such as should not have been given at such a time.
 The bill will not be presented to them formally until tomorrow morning, and F1,1f n l. fore the House during the day. He thinks the bill should pass and go to the Senate by Tuesday night at the lat est. The Democrats will protest against this expedition, but will probably not carry their opposition beyond that
 MT. Bailey, the Democratic leader, and other Democrats realize the nec- essity for prompt action, and while thev feel they have been unfairly treated under the circumstances they will make no factious opposition. They are particularly desirous of the oppor- tunity to present substitute proposi- ttons for various features of the bill as prepared. MT. Bailey said they would probably be willing to forego general debate if an arrangement could be made to consider the entire bill for amendment under the five-minute rule. The chief amendment they desire to offer is for an income tax which they believe a considerable proportion of the war tax should be raised from this source. They are also opposed to some of the pro--isions of the stamp tax which they believe will prove enerous and irritating, and it is likely they will offer propositions in lieu thereof for a tax of 50 cents per barrel on petroleum and a graduated tax on railroad and other transportation tickets, both of which propositions were considered by

PORTO RICO AMERICANS
 HAVE NO PROTECTION.
Revolution Is Threatened and Mar tial Law Has Been Pro-
 claimed.

ST. THOMAS, West Indies. April 24.-According to the latest advices from Porto Rico the agitation there is increasing and food prices are rising fast. The authorities have taken steps to prevent the departure of refugees. At Mayaguas, seventy miles southwest Of San Juan, there is talk of revolu- tion.
 Refugees from Porto Rico, who reached here by a schooner this even ing, report that the condition of the island is critical. Martial law has been proclaimed and Americans there are in danger, as they are without protection.
 United States Consul Van Horn here has bought 1500 tons of coal for the United States Government, which will arrive here tomorrow, and he is nego- tiating for more.
