Hicksite Friends Want Peace.

On Friday evening the Wilmington
Monthly Meeting OF the Society of
Friends (Hicksite) appointed David
Ferris, Joseph A. Bond, J. Newlin Gaw-
throp, Joseph w. Fl. Watson, Edward
Phillips and William p Bancroft a COM
mittee to draw the attention OF the
members OF the meeting to the section
of the Friends discipline relating to
war. The section in question is as fol-
lows:
Friends are exhorted to adhere faith
fully to our ancient testimony against
wars and tightings. and in no way to
unite with any warlGe measures either
offensive or defensive; that by the in
offensiveness of our conduct we may
convincingly demonstrate ourselves to
be subjects of the Messiah's peaceful
reign, and be instrumental in the pro-
motion thereof towards its desired COM
pletion when, according to ancient
prophecy ''the earth shall be filled
with the know ledge of the glory of the
Lord as the waters cover the sea"
and its inhabitants shall learn war no
more.

CAPTURED by the New York.

Key WEST, Fla, April 23.-The Span
ish steamer Pedro was captured last
night by the United States cruiser New
York and brought here this morning.
The excitement attending the capture
OF the Buena Ventura by the gunboat
Nashville had hardly died out when
news came that the fleet had made an
other prize.
Early TINS morning rumOrs were circu-
lated that the cruiser New York had cap
tured the Spanish transport Alfonso MI,
which Was expected to arrive in Cuban
waters to-day CARRYING 1000 Spanish
troops and loaded down with supplies.
This ship and cargo were valued at about
81 ,0OO,O0
All speculation was later set at rest by
the arrival here of the prize ship. She
proved to be the Spanish freighter Pedro,
from Antwerp for Pensacola.
The Pedro is an iron steamship OF
2,S72 gross tons register. She was built
in 1888 at Newcastle-on-Tyne by Wig
ham, Richardson 4 Co., and is registered
Al at Lloyd's. Her captains name is L.
A. Larruri, and she was owned bv La
Fleche Company, of Bilbao. She piled
between that port and Antwerp.

Municipal Court Cases.

In Municipal Court before Judge Bal
last evening the case of Thomas Wardell,
charged with disorderlv conduct by his

Mrs WardeIl told tale Of alleged

Yesterday morning Harry J. Mackey

Speculation as to Declaration.

Special to The Sun.
WASHINGTON, April 23.-There is con-
siderable speculation as to Congress for
mally declaring war, and whether the
President will send message to Con-
gress asking it to formally pass such a
measure. The State Department has
prepared such paper, but it is doubt
full what time it will go to Congress.
The members of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, however, think
that such declaration is necessary to
give International status to the war.
Such declaration abrogates treaties, sus-
pends commercial and other intercourse,
closes neutral ports, and in other ways
is formal notice to the world that two
nations have engaged in aconhict.
In the present instance the armed in
tervention resolutions passed by Con-
gress which authorized the President to
employ the land and naval and volun-
teer forces of the United States was Il
Standardization, and might possibly be
sufficient. In order to remove all pos
sible complications which might arise in
future, 1t is the opinion of Senators that
formal action by Congress will be taken.
Attorney. General Griggs, in speaking
OF the matter this morning after he left
the White House, said that the matter
rested with Congress, and that the Presi-
dent would leave it to that body to set
tie. The Executive branch OF the Gov
ernment has done all it can to formally
notify the world that war exists, having

CONDUCTING THE WAR.
Big Naval Fight Expected Soon--NO

Big Naval Fight Expected Soon---NO
Land Battles for Two Weeks.
Special to THE Sun.
WASHINGTON, April 23.-It is expected
that it may be two or three weeks before
there is any fighting OF land forces on
the island OF Cuba. While the orders to
the squadron do not contemplate their
provoking fight, it is realized that an
engagement OF some sort is liable to oc-
cur at any time, and it is not thought to
be probable that more than two or three
days can go by without an exchange of
shots. The expectation, however, is
that the principal operations for the
next two or three weeks will be directed
towards the destruction OF commerce.
There is no doubt about the blockade of
the Cuban ports being made effective,
and there is likely to be almost pro-
cession of prizes brought into the Key
West ports until experience convinces
commanders of merchantmen that their
only safety lies in not trying to avoid
the blockade.
An engagement with the Spanish fleet
is not expected for a long time. Mem
bars OF the House and Senate who are in
close communication with the Executive
and the Departments say that there is no
expectation that the Spanish feet will

War Revenue Bill Completed.

Special to THE SrN.
WAsnINGToN, April 23.-The Republi.
can members of the Ways and Means
Committee have agreed upon q War
Revenue bill.
Its provisions have already been pub.
lished substantially. The back of the
bill is the beer and tobacco tax, from
which sixty million is expected to be
raised.
What the committee terms the ';uni-
versal stamp tax" will raise this to $50
WO,OOO. This includes legal instru-
inents, certain commercial papers, ETC.,
and all sorts of not now taxed.
kilograms are taxed one cent for -,
but press dispatches are exempt. Miscel-
laneous items raise the estimated rev.
educ to one hundred million.
The five hundred million popular loan
at three per cent. is in the form OF 1920
coin bond.
In addition to this one hundred million
certificates of Indebtedness are provided
for, also bearing three per cent.

The decision of the British Govern

tic. A dash against any city on our
coast, or against our feet, by the Span
iards would leave the latter out Of breath
that is, out of coal--when they got here,
and helpless.
Instead of any such desperate venture
the Spanish will probably content them.
selves with preying upon our commerce
as disastrously and as long as they can,
until they render it necessary for us to
send war vessels against them in their
own waters.
1t is calculated that the two enemies
we will have most to dread at present are
the yellow fever in Cuba and the fifty
odd small Spanish vessels, launches,
ETC., now in Cuban waters, any one OF
which might sneak up and get 4 torpedo
under one or more OF our war vessels.
The latter danger can be and will be
carefully guarded against, but the yellow
fever is q more serious enemy.
To avoid the dangerous climatic con-
ditions as much use as possible is to be
made of the Cuban soldiers under
Gomez. 1t is expected that as soon as
the military organization has been com
pleted base of supplies will be estab-
lished at Matanzas, or some other con-
venient point, where the American SOL
diers can be kept on the high grounds
and junction effected with GomeZs
forces and the latter be supplied with
arms and put in condition to meet the
Spanish in tn field. The best informa-
tion obtainablc is that the Cuban army
will not be found strong enough for the
purpose, but will be joined to the regu-
lar forces of the United States and as
signed to such duty as they are best
fitted for, so as to protect the health OF
our own unaccllmated soldiers as far as
possible. As soon as base of supplies
has been established and held by a
strong force time will be given tor Gomez
to get his army together and to make Il
junction with our forces.
The present intention is to rely to a
considerable extent upon the Cubans to
conduct the military operations during
the rainy season, and if their operations
are not entirely successful. before the
close OF the rainy season the island will
b. invested by great army of the
United States. This is taking into con.
sideration the most extreme possibilities
of the Spanish holding out on the island.
The belief is that the operations,
which can be entered upon without great
danger to the health OF our soldiers, will
be sufficient to speedily reduce the island
to subsection, the squadron operating in
conjunction with the land forces.

quarters, al No. sos King street.
The call of the "rolr' showed that
every member was present of the "would
be" bosses and political "disorganizers,"
and also Councilman James W. Robert
son, president of the Temporary"
organization.
When the chairman raped for order
with his gavel-the right hand-the
utmost qnietness prevailed.
OF course there was no need to state
the object OF the meeting, but if the $3
and IS classification rule had been
brought up there would have been
trouble.
Fortunately nothing OF the kind oc-
Cured and the constitution and bylaws
presented by Assistant City Solicitor
Cahoon were approved as read with the
necessary charges that created the
'kick" on Saturday evening of last week.
While the consideration Of these were
under way, gentleman, who is crippled
arrived with a copy OF THE Sun i'll his
hand.
His language was not what the Holy
Writ demands, but instead was slightly
tinged with 'sulphurous' atmosphere.
The air did not get "sulphurons'' from
the lame gentleman's remarks, but still
he made the assertion that he would
kick the d h off anv reporter pres
ent who represented THE Sun.
He did not know at the time that such
representative was present, but such
was the case and he remained until the
close of the meeting.
The trouble of the postoffice employees
was not considered last night and there
fore the "contidential' letter sent them
was not aired.
The next session of the 'Git-Together'
or "Git-Out" club will be held on next
Saturday when developments of an in
teresting nature are promised.
