Then 1t was seen that the chased was
flying an Italian flag, but this was no
proof that behind her still invisible guns
Spaniards were not concealed, ready to
shoot under advantage or subterfuge. All
the guns on The New York's port side and
in the forward and after turrets were
trained on the stranger. A few minutes
later, when about 1,5eO yards separated
the New York from her target, the
American flag was run up by the war
ship, and then it was known she was not
a Spaniard.
A puff of smoke issued from her. sides,
and the boom of a gun sounded across the
waters. It was only a salute, but at first
many on board thought Rear Admiral
Sampson had been deceived. But the war
ship fired fifteen guns as a salute, which
was returned by the flagship, which also
flew an Italian flag. The stranger was then
made out TO be the Giovanni Bausan, a
powerful cruiser.
Without further formalities she pursued
her course, and entered Havana harbor.
Thus an exciting incident ended in dis
appointment, but it served 10 show how
anxious all hands are for a real fight and
how splendid the discipline is when con-
tingency seems imminent.

BoYNTox.s FAKE BATTLE.

Seems to Have Been All in the Imagi-
nation of Timid Worlxmen.
Jacksonville, Fla, April 2E-Special to
the Times-Union and Citizen from Palm
Beach, Fla, says: ut is believed here by
every one that the report of the battle off
Boynton Friday is without much founda-
ton
Several responsible citizens from that
section were here to-day and said they saw
the ships going South, but did not hear the
report of single gun.
THE only explanation for this report is
that a number of workmen were engaged
unloading lumber from a wrecked brigan-
tine on Boynton beach, and that a vessel
made direct for the wreck, supposedly to
make an examination, when the workmer
became frightened and went ashore"

SEIZURE OF THE VENTURA.

Madrid stiII Looks Upon 1t as an Act
of Piracy.
Madrid. April "a, 7;45 p. m.-There were
slight demonstrations early this morning,
and again carly this evening, but the
crowds were dispersed by Gov. Aguilera.
The one subject of conversation through
out the day has been the capture of the
Beuna Ventura, prior 70 formal declara-
ton of hostiiitles, or the lapse of the time
limit in the American ultimatum. The pa
pers describe II as an act of piracy.
Many rumors are aaoat as to captures
on both sides. The papers warn the popu-
lace not to be elated or depressed by such
statements, insisting that many of them
originate on foreign bourses for gambling
purposes.
The attitude of the citizens of Madrid
to-day is irreproachable. Several Ameri-
can correspondents LEFT by the Sud ex-
press.
Probably the fact that the cabinet coun-
ell was held in the morning. instead of
this afternoon. as had been arranged,
means that news had been received neces-
stating prompt actions but nothing has
been divulged.
Adyices have been received from Manila
Philippine ISLANDS, that when news was
received there of the sailing of the Amer
lean squadron from Hong Kong an impos-
ing popular demonstration took place. all
| classes offering their property and lives in
| defense of the country The enthusiasm
| is described as tremendous. +"

FORMAL DEcLARATfoN OF WAR.
Senate to Comply with Presidents
Request at Once.

Request at Once.
Washington, April 25--It is the expecta-
ton in the Senate that the week will begin
with the receipt of message. from the
President asking that Congress shall make
formal declaration of war, and that there
will be quick response to the request.
There has been some apprehension that
there might be a renewal of the effort TO
secure recognition of the independence
of the Cuban insurgents in connection with
the war declaration, but the best informa-
ton now is that this will not be under
taken, and that there will be practically
no opposition In the Senate to war reso-
Luton. t~
1t is suggested by some of the members
of the committee on foreign relations that
1t will not even be necessary to refer the
Presidents message to the committee when
received, but that q resolution can be am
mediately introduced and passed. the COM
mittee will report promptly in any event
The Senate viii resume consideration OF
the naval appropriation bill at the earliest
moment. The only disputed point undis-
posed Of In connection with the naval bill
is the provision in regard to the price OF
armor which Senator Tillman and Butler
are making an effort to have reduced from
$500 to $500 after the three battleships now
building are supplied. Both these sena-
tors and probably others will make
speeches in support Of this amendment
and the debate in I'll probability Will De
sharp. It does not appear probable that
the amendment will be accepted by the
Senate
The Senate also will take up the army
reorganization bill as soon as Il can be
reached after it is reported from the com
mittee on military affairs, by which t
will be given prompt consideration.
IL is not believed that the war revenue
Dill will receive consideration from the
Senate this week, owing TO the probability
7et 1t win meet with sufficient opposi-
zion in the finance committee to delay it
Tor some time.
