Ii any lingering doubts have remained
rs to the existence of a state of war be-
may be dismissed. Havana, the capital
Of the Island of Cuba. is in a state of
siege, and our navy has commenced the
capture of Spanish boats attempting to
enter the harbor. The President Friday
afternoon, in compliance with the law Of
nations, issued a proclamation declaring
a blockade Of Havana. This proclama-
lion is notice to the world and stops
Ahe vessels of neutral nations from enter
Eng the harbor of Havana with merchan-
disc or supplies of any sort. The procla-
nation applies to all harbors on the north
coast of the island and to Cienfuegos on

Captain Sampson. in command of the

States on the 10Th inst. After the receipt
Of this notice the Spanish minister for
warded to the State Department a re-
quest for his passports, which were fur
nished to him the same afternoon. The
United States minister at Madrid was at
the same time instructed to make a like
communication to the Government of
Spain.
Thursday morning the department re-

GARY LEAVES THE CABINET.
President McKinley's Postmaster
General Resigns His Portfolio.

Postmaster General Gary resigned
Thursday, and Charles Emory Smith was
Immediately nominated to succeed him. A
Washington correspondent states that it
is generally understood that Gary resign
ed because he opposed war and does not
care to be connected with an administra-
ton that conducts it.
The official explanation is: POSTMASTER
General Gary's resignation had absolute
ly nothing whatever to do with our pres
ent foreign complications. 1t was owing
entirely to the condition of Mr.. Gary's
health. He has suffered great deal Of
late from general breaking down of the
system, which has continued to progress
until finally Mr.. Gary reluctantly reached
the conclusion that he was unable longer
to carry the burden of his office.''

Presidents Proc1amat ton Asks Vol
unteers from All Sides.
The bill for the creation of new regu-
lar and volunteer army passed both
houses of Congress Friday afternoon. The
measure was Immediately signed by Vice
President Hobart and Speaker Reed and
was then sent to the President. An Off
cial proclamation was prepared at the
War Department calling for 100000 men
to serve in the war against Spain. This
was approved by Secretary Alger and
sent to the President for his signature.
In many respects the proclamation fol-
lows the lines Of the first call made by
President Lincoln of April 10, 1861, when
he asked for 10000 men. Necessarily
there are number of changes, because
Of the different purpose for which volun-
teers are asked.
The Senate and House conferees
reached an agreement in the morning be-
fore Congress convened. The measure
was Immediately reported and adopted
According to the agreement the Senate
receded from it's first amendment concern
ing the time in which the organized mill
tia shall serve, but the time for which all
volunteers are to be enlisted is reduced
from three years to two. The Warren
amendment, authorizing the President to
organize Independent troops, was retain
ed, but the number was limited to 5000.
The Senate receded from it's amendment
making it compulsory for the regiment
and company militia officers to receive
their commissions from the governors Of
their respective States, and leaving it OPP
tional, as fixed by the House.
The number of men required from each
State is to be in the proportion that its
population bears to that of the whole

Buena Ventura then surrendered, with

With the North Atlantic squadron
blockading the coast controlled by the
Spanish troops and leaving open all the
coast from Cardenas east and around to
Cienfuegos, coast line Of at least LOCO
miles, with numerous ports held by only
a few hundred Spanish soldiers, the way
is clear for the insurgents to extend their
control to the coast and communicate
with the United States gunboats. If they
control fve-sixths of the island, as is
claimed, and have an army Of $4,000 men
in the field, which can be increased to
$4,000 men when they have arms and
ammunition, they can drive Spain out Of
