COMMUNICATED
THE CURRENCY

According to the latest estimates
By Mulhall OF national wealth iu the
eight principal countries Of the world,
the United States leads the list as the
wealthiest nation on the globe, values
being based on real estate, buildings,
merchandise, railways, and circulating
medium of each nation.
The United States makes the grand
showing of $S1.750,O00 900; Great Bri-
tain, 5000, 900, 900; France, S47, $780,
100000; Germany, $40, 260, 000,0 Rus
STA, $50, 125, 900, 900; Austria, So, $780,
900 600; Iialy, S15,S00, 100000 Spain,
$11 800, 900, 600 As Mulhall is consider
ed authority the world over, does any
sane man believe for moment, that
the United States, the wealthiest nation
in the world, cannot and should not
take the lead, in at least saying what
kind of money she proposes issuing and
what kind she will take for her enor-
nous exports of cereals, petroleum,
pork and hundreds of other articles
which America has for sale and which
the balance of the world must have,
which make up the great balance OF
trade favoring this country? To do
otherwise will simply continue disaster,
poverty and ruin on the masses. The
moment we have bimetalism, i. e., free
coinage of both precious metals, that
moment an impulse will be given to
trade and enterprise, which will set the
laborer and mechanic to work, make
fair values for farm products and infuse
new life TO all, including the money
lender, and a general THANK God"
will echo throughout the length and
breadth of our blessed country.

Richmond. Va, April 25.-Gov. Taylor to-

all Virginia volunteers to hold themselves
in readiness.
After directing the commanding officers
TO recruit their companies to their full
strength, the Governor says: Steps will
be taken to have physical examinations
made and all men found not ipADroper con-
dition to enter the service will be honorably
excused. in view of the fact that many
of the members of the different organiza-
tons may find themselves under such en-
barrassment as to render Il almost i'm
possible for them to go, by virtue of having
helpless ones wholly and entirely depend
ent upon them, such parties will be ex-
cused and others who are unembarrassed
will be allowed to take their places. Many
of the brave men who will so readily re-
spond to their eountrys call will be forced
to give up desirable business empoyments.
In order that their minds may be set at
ease II is earnestly hoped that their spirit
of willing sacrifice win be appreciated, and
that as far as practicable such places will
be held open for their acceptance on their
return from service
The proclamation ends with an appeal
to the volunteers TO yield loyal response
to their country's call and trust the God
of battle to uphold the right"

Failure to Receive UItimatum Leaves
This Country Unpledged.
Madrid, April 25 1000 a. m.-The news
papers of this city and the provinces are
filed with rumors of captures made by
the war vessels of Spain or the United
States, and with reports of the movements
of the warships combined with patriotic
utterances from all quarters of the king
dom.
A new point has been raised relative to
the non-delivery of the ultimatum of the
United States. The view now taken is that
its non-delivery leaves the United States
unpledged in regard to reservations made
with reference to Cuban independence.
Thus, it is pointed out while her pride is
gratified, Spain has lost diplomatic point.
The officiel gazette to-day publishes in
structions of the Spanish government res

may detaln merchantmen in any nom

HAVANA NOT ALARMED.
PopuIace Confident City Will Not Be
BOmbarded.

Key West, Fla, April 25-The British
steamer Myrteldene. Capt. Milburn, from
Philadelphia. on April 5, for Havana and
Cardenas arrived here this morning from
Havana.
Her commander reports that the news
of the sailing of the United States fleet
was reported at Havana just previous to
the departure of the Myrtledene. He adj
mits that it created no, excitement in The
city, but the price of meat Immediately
jumped from "a to so cents.
According to Capt. Milburn, Havana
does not fear bombardment, because, the
Spaniards say, the United States began
the war in the interest of humanity and
commandment would be contrary to such
a purpose.
At Havana, it appears. the conditions
prevailing are not unusual except that
the city is crowded with troops, and that
the Spanish officers are, drilling every man
they can press into the service.
The Myrtledene reached Havana a week.
ago Sunday, and Capt. Milburn went
ashore. He says he walked over to the
new Notifications at Casa Blanca to make
observations. when three or four Spanish
soldiers, with fixed bayonets, arrested him
as an American spy. The captain was
taken TO MORO castle, and after three or
four hours had elapsed, he was informed
that sentence had been passed upon him
and that he was to be shot in an hour
The captain, who is an intense Britishor,
replied: Why wait an hour? Shoot me

The British vice consul, Arthur Aroste-
guy, was interested In the case, and Capt.
Milburn was released.
Capt Milburn added: Havana viii give
you all the fighting you want when you
land"
The Myrtledene left Havana Friday
night, just as the American feet was com
ing in sight. Mr. Arosteguy, the British
vice consul, anxious for his family's safe
ty, sent them to Key West by the steamer.
She had cargo of COAL 1900 tons OF
which she discharged in Havana.
Capt. Milburn intended to ship 5000 tons
of sugar now in Cuba, the property of Mr.
Revel, an American, but he was advised
to leave port promptly
According to statements of the family
of Vice Consul Arosteguy, who arrived on
the Myrtledene to-day, great excitement
prevails IN Havana, ana at the time the
Myrtledene left port the people were 1eav-
ing for the open country in all directions.
At Marianao. just outside of Havana, a
train was held up by an excited crowd
eager to escape. The alarm was caused
by the firing from the Santa Clara bat
terry.
The gunboat Annapolis has arrived here
from New York. x
The Norwegian steamer Stero, from
Tampico for Havana, with cattle, was
turned back by the feet and came here
