Last night, April 30, the batteries at

with heavy loss, to nanuver repeatedly.

ing when the point of honor would have
been sufficiently satisfied.
Therefore, when the Spanish armies and
fleets had, in the opinion of the Prime
Minister, done enough for the honor OF
Spain, the time would also come for an ap-
peal TO the European powers in order that
they decide what should be done to restore
peace and decide the fate of Cuba, because

The first news of the battle off Manila
arrived in Washington Sunday evening. 1t
was dispatch from Madrid, dated $40 p.

Mia produced great rejoicing there, over the
defeat OF the American fleet. The telegram

squadron off Havana is preparing for
action that'will be no less decisive and in
spring than the brilliant victory at the
Philippine Islands on Sunday. The evacu-
alton OF Havana by Capt. Gen. Blanco and
the Spanish troops is almost at hand.
Moro Castle is doomed. Already in dis
tress from the effective blockade since April
II, the occupation Of Cuba by United States
forces and the hoisting of our flag over Ha-
vana is now but matter OF a short time.
The policy of this Government is one of
aggressive action. and the end-which is
expected to be reached soon-will be the
loss to Spain of Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines and the practical destruction
of her navy, unless she surrenders to avoid
further conflict and disaster at sea.
The Vienna correspondent of the London
Times says:
"In well-infermed circles it is positively
denied that the powers will intervene at the
present iuncture, nor has any agreement
been arrived at for mediation at any future
time The disparity of views is consider
able enough to render highly improbable
the cooperation of all the powers in any
diplomatic step, either at Madrid or Wash
ington."

The neutrality decree issued by Portugal
fOrbids the equipment of privateers in
Portuguese waters, or the entry of priva-
teerS into Portuguese waters. 1t permits
bellgerents to make short stay at Portu-
guese ports. 1t defines legitimate trade az

goods which may be considered contra
band of war.
The Postmaster-General has issued an

The Atlantic Powder Co.'S works in

that the explosions were caused by agents

Extensive Preparations Going on for Active

The Government has broken the back
bone of the Missouri Mule Trust" by re-
fusing to accept the bids recently sent In
for furnishing these animals for the army.
The big dealers in mules in st. Louis and
Kansas City formed combination when
the demand for the animals became so
brisk and advanced the price about SIS
head. The bids were forwarded to Wash
ington, and word has been received that
they were all thrown out, the newspapers
having announced the existence OF trust.
There is now a scramble to dispose of the
animals at a much lower figure, but the
prices for horses and mules will be higher
than usual at all horse marts.
Gen. Brooke, commanding at Chicka-
mauga, has been ordered TO recruit his regf-
ments to the maximum. This will in
crease his force to 25, 900 men. There will
be no difficulty whatever about filling up
the colOred regiments. The presence Of
these has raised the war spirit among the
negroes to the highest pitch, and the re-
cruiting officers are besieged with appli-
cantS.
All the Army officers on dury at colleges.
etc., are ordered to reiOin their regiments.
