a result of the neutrality measures adopted
by the British government he must leave
by Wednesday with only safficient coal to
reach the nearest port of the United States
Consequently the Navy Department at
Washington cabled Commander Hazletine
that the Somers must be permanently laid
up and the crew paid off. This is now being
done under the supervision of the local
naval authorities. 1t is understood that If
the prosecution is instituted for attempting
to illegally enlist seamen, it will be directed
against Commander Hazletine. One Amer
lean and four Scandinavian seamen arrived
here today from London to join the Somers.
The customs authorities sent them to the
Sailors Home and warned them that they
would be arrested if they left the building.

Madeiras, belong TO Portugal All of these
groups have fine harbors and coaling facil-

service to the Spanish navy in case their
use was not barred by Portugal's neutrality.
The neutrality of Portugal will prevent a
longer use of these islands as a base of on

BRITAIN'S PROCLAMATION.
Ships of Belligerents Ordered to
Leave Ports of the Ennire

AeaVG EOEtS OF the EMPIRE.
LONDON, April 26.--An extraordinary is
sue of the London Gazette this morning
contained the customary royal proclama-
ton Of neutrality, defining the attitude of
British officials and British subjects during
the war between Spain and the United
States. 1t is identical with the proclamation
issued at the time of the Chino-Japanese
war. The instructions of the Foreign Office
to the Admiralty and colonial authorities,
regulating the belligerents' use of British
ports, is dated April % ard gives the bel
ligerents twenty-four hours to leave. This
accounts for the departure of the United
States squadron from Hong-Kong and the
orders given to the Spanish torpedo boat
Audaz to leave Queenstown. The proclama-
tion fills four pages of the Gazette and be-
gins:
at peace with all sovereigns. powers and
states, and whereas. "a state of war unhap-
PLY exists between his Majesty, the King of
SPAN; ana IN his name and during his
Regent of the kingdom of Spain, and the
United States of America, and their re-
spective subject citizens, and others in
habiting within their countries, territories
or domnions."
Some of the newspapers here assert that
band of war is new; but it is identical with
Lord Granville's proclamation of 1870, at the
time of the outbreak Of the Franco-Prus-
sian war, and identical with the proclama-
ton issued at the time of the commence
ment of hostlities between China and Japan
prohibiting supplies being furnished to bel
ligerents' ships, except provisions and coal
sufficient to carry a vessel to the nearest
port of her country, no coal to be again
supplied to the same ship, without special
permission, within three months of the time
she had previously been supplied.

were incidents prearranged by American

order the Spanish feet 20 leave the Cape
