SPAIN AND THE BLOCKADE.
No Concern Over Report That Madrid
Claims 1t Ia Ineffective.

Washington, April 29.-The authori-
ties of the state and navy departments
are not concerned over the report from
Madrid that the Spanish admiralty will
make representations to the powers
that the blockade of Havana harbor Is
ineffective because the Spanish ship
Montseratt succeeded in running the
blockade. 1t is pointed out that the
universal current of authority accepted
by all nations is that the occasional
ingress or egress of a ship in no way
affects the validity of a blockade. AS
explained by Earl Russell during
the blockade of confederate ports in
1868, the declaration of Paris as to the
effectiveness of a blockade is not in
tended to require that ingress and
egress shall be made impossible, but it
is aimed at paper blockades, or nominal
blockades not enforced. by ships. With
the law so clearly established and all
the commercial nations accepting it,
it is said by officials here that Spain S
point against the effectiveness of the
Havana blockade can amount to moth
ing.

INDIGNANT MTLITIAMEN,
Enlisting of Wesleyan Students in First
Regiment Causes Hard Feeling.

hekiHeHt SNuSts mara eellngs
Middletown, April 29.-Probably on
no occasion of late years has local mil
itary circles been SO stirred up and so
much indignation felt as is manifested
tonight by the members of Company
H of the Second regiment of this city
over the action of Paymaster j. M.
Wainwright of the First regiment and
Assistant Surgeon General Richard S.
Griswold, who visited Wesleyan univer-
sity and induced several of the students
to enlist in the Hartford City Guards
of the First regiment. The students
had made application at the armory
last Sunday for admission into Compa-
ny H and were accepted, as they had
passed the physical examination. The
two officers had practically opened q
recruiting Office at the college, and
apart from the eniisting of men who
had already agreed to join the Middle
town company, the fact that an effort
is being made to enlist men in the reg
iment, which Colonel Burdett had re-
ported as having full ranks and with
men on the waiting list. has caused the
Company III boys to say things that
possibly the officer of the First regi-
ment might consider to be not very
complimentary.

WAR REYENUE BILL.
After Some Parliamentary Man@uvering
1t Passes House,

Washington, April 30 - The house
to-day passed the war revenue bill with
everyone of the amendments agreed
upon by the republican members of
order to accomplish this, parliament
tary manoeuvre was necessary as the
hausted by the minority in trying to
amend the bond feature of the bill. Mr..
Dingley offered as a substitute an en-
tirely new bill containing these amend
ments after the bill had been reported
to the house. This was an old parlia-
mentary trick, frequently resorted to
years ago. The Morrill, tariff bill was
passed in this way in it's original form
after it had been loaded down with
amendments in committee of the
whole.
Many amendments were offered to
the bond feature of the bill, ranging
IIUIIl d pTOpOSlLlOI1 IOF Iue SuDSIlluIlOIl
of an income tax provicion an au-
thorization for an issue of $3.50, 900 900
greenbacks, but all were voted down.
At the last minute the democrats decid-
ed to offer the motion to re-commit
with the instructions to report back
the income tax proposition as an
amendment to the bill, instead of as a
substitute for the bond provision.
This was due to the fact that a num-
ber of democrats had declined to vote
to strike out the bond proposition. The
motion was defeated. Four republi-
cans voted with the democrats and pop
ulists on this vote. But on the final
passage of the bill, which was carried,
1871 to 131, the democrats and populists,
with six exceptions, voted solidly
against the bill. The democrats who
voted for the bill We're Messrs. Cum
mings, Mcclellan and Griggs of New
York, fitzgerald of Massachusetts, Nc
Aleer of Pennsylvania and Wheeler Of
Alabama. Two republicans, Messrs.
I.inney of North Carolina and Thorpe
of Virginia voted with the opposition.
Quite a number of democrats declined
to vote.

SPANISH PIsTSoNERS.
Their Interests Being Cared For by French
and Austrian Representatives.

Washington, April 29.-The French
ambassador and Austrian minister are
looking after the interests of the Span
iards taken on the various Spanish
ships captured by American war yes
sells and now held at Key West as pris-
oners of war. There has been no occa-
sion, however, for the exercise of this
protection thus far, as the Spanish pris-
oners are being treated with all due
consideration and courtesy consistent
with the circumstances of their posi-
ton. They are held at the military
barracks at Key West, and, it is under
stood, that their care is under the di-
rection of the United States district at
torney for that district. At the outset
the prisoners found difficulty in COM
municating with their friends and rela-
tives, but an arrangement has now
been effected by which they will be able
to communicate, by mail or telegraph,
with their friends.

INCREASE OF 10000 MEN.
An Amendment Agreed to in Volunteer
Army Bill.

Washington, April 29.-The house
committee on military affairs agreed
to-day to report favorably an amend
ment to the volunteer army bill, pro-
viding for an increase of $1,000 men
with special qualifications to the volun-
teer force, instead of the 1000 provided
in the volunteer bill as enacted. This
change amends the last proviso of sec
ton six of the bill and authorizes the
secretary of war to organize compan-
les, troops, battalions or regiments
possessing special qualifications from
the nation at large, not exceeding 49,
900 under rules and regulations of the
war department. This increase will
allow 5000 to be used for the cowboy
organizations and the remainder will
go to the marine battalions.

London, April 30.-A special dispatch

port of the engineers appointed by the
Delagoa Bay arbitration court finds
that the value of the work done by the
Delagoa Bay Railroad company up to
the time of the seizure of the line by

THE ALLEGED CASE OF TREASON.
Absolutely No Foundation for Yesterdays
Sensational Reports.

Absolutely No Foundation for Yesterdays
Sensational Reports.
Key West, Fla, April 2S.-There is
absolutely no foundation for the sensa-
tional reports cabled from here to the
effect that a case Of treason has been
discovered on board the United States
monitor Puritan. The rumors arose
from the strange actions of fireman
with a Notwithstanding name, now
under restraint on the warship because
of his eecentricities. The officers of
the Puritan declare there is no thought
of trying the man by court martial and
that all the talk about treason is alb
surd
1t appears that a few days ago the
man in question was seen in one of the
monitors tUrrets and the man who saw
him reported that he had his hand on
the lock of the magazine. Consequent
ly the man referred to was instantly
placed under restraint. The crew of
the monitor Immediately became ex-
cited and declared there was a Spanish
traitor on board. Through this the ex-
travagant stories were concocted.
The officers of the Puritan believe
the man, who is fireman, is a Cuban,
and they assert positively that he has
never given evidence of any sort Of
sympathy with Spain but, they add on
the contrary when the Puritan was off
Matanzas, the man was frequently
heard to say he would like to get ashore
to join the insurgents.
The officers of the monitor in placing
the man under restraint were prompted
solely by the danger of allowing an un-
evenly balanced man to be at large.

wEYLER URGEs THE oFFENs1rE.
The Defensive the Worst Possible Policy
with America.


Madrid, April 29.-General Weyler, in
the senate, to-day, urged the govern
ment to take the offensive against
America. He also justified his admin
istration in Cuba. General Weyler in
clear voice and amid marked atten-
tion from the whole house and the gall
leries apologized for prolonging the de-
bate, pleading that he could not allow
the opportunity to pass of defending
himself against criticism. With much
warmth and sternness he defended his
political and military acts of severity
in Cuba, showing that he deemed them
vitality necessary and that they were
justified by the results they produced.
So much was this the case, he declared,
that had he been allowed six months
longer he would have entirely crushed
the insurrection and would have real
ized the promise he made to Senior Cas-
tillo that by April, 1898, he would be in
a position to offer him $4,000 veterans
to attack the United States.
General Weyler severely criticised
the home rule policy in Cuba and the
time selected for decreeing it, and he
concluded passionate appeal for a
display of energy, urging the govern
ment to take the offensive vigorously
on both land and sea as remaining on
the defensive was "the worst possible
policy with such an enemy"
The Duke of Tetuan and Lieutenant
Colonel Azcarraga declared that the
conservative party always approved
and accepted the responsibility for the
acts of General Weyler in Cuba. These
declarations afforded Senior Moret, Sec
retary of the colonies, an opportunity
of avoiding debate with General
Weyler, Senior Moret declaring that
such a course would be unadvisable at
present and would be better left for
"a day when statesmen can find time
for retrospective discussions"
In the congress Qower house of the
cortes) to-day Senior Sagessa, editor of
Ell Imparcial, declared that Admiral
Bermejo, minister of marine, lacked
the necessary energy to cope with the
present situation. Senior Sagasta, the
premier, replied that Admiral Bermeio
has rendered great service and that
one day it would be shown that he had
foreseen all eventualitieS.

NO oueFS TO FURNISH OnG To tn9 UnLt6u
States for Half Million Dollars-The
Plan Involves the Use of Aerial Tor
pedoes-Maxim is a Brother of the Fa-
nous Hiram Maxim.
New York, April 29.-The Brooklyn
Eagle has received letter from Hud-
son Maxim Of London, England, con-
tanning remarkable offer to the Unit
ed States government to furnish to it,
at a cost of half million dollars, a
ship which he claims to be capable of
destroying the entire Spanish navy.
The plan involves the use of aerial tor
pedoes invented by Mr. Maxim. The
writer is a brother of Hiram Maxim
the famous inventor of weapons of de-
struction. Hudson Maxim has worked
in cooperation with Hiram Maxim and
is man of good standing in the scien-
tific world.
Just one cruiser built and equipped
complete with torpedo guns according
to his system, he says, would be suffi-
cient to destroy every Spanish warship
which it might encounter at sea.
The cost of such a cruiser would
be about half million. He offers the
United States government, or any of
his fellow citizens who may be willing
| to furnish the capital necessary for
the construction and equipment of one
such cruiser, the free use, without roy
| atty, of all his inventions for the pur-
| pose, and says that he himself will
| come to America and superintend the
| building of the cruiser without any
| charges for his services. Mr.. Maxim
holds that if his inventions are put into
practice, armor will be rendered abso-
| lutely useless. Navies will make every"
| thing subservient to speed and mobil-
| ity.
The torpedoes, which carry half a ton
| of explosives, according to Mr.. Maxim S
| theory, may be sent nine miles, while a
| ton of guncotton can be thrown five
miles. These ranges are equal to the
effective ranges of high power guns
on battleships. The cruiser would fight
head on, the exposed portion of the
| vessel being protected by armor suffi-
| GENTLY thick to turn aside the projec-
| tiles of a battleship save those from
the twelve-inch guns. Mr.. Maxim says
that the fatal area presented to a ton
| of guncotton is 132,025 square feet. The
cruiser would have speed of from
| twenty to twenty knots and could
| therefore choose it's own position with
| respect to battleships. One cruiser, he
argues would be able on an average to
! destroy one hundred battleships.

PREPARATIONS At oADIz.
A British Captain Reports That They
Wera Very Active.

"A brlUlsn captain heports That They
We're Very Active.
st. Johns, N. F., April 29.-The Brit
ish steamer Wansbeck, Captain Jones,
from Cadiz with a cargo of salt, arriv-
ed here to-day. Captain Jones reports
that when he left Cadiz fourteen days
ago active preparations were being
made by the Spaniards for carrying on
war against the United States. The
dockyards were crowded with cruisers,
and torpedo boats were under repair
and regiments were assembling at the
garrison. 1t was evident, the captain
says, that the Spaniards were deeply
in earnest. They vowed they would
suffer anything to crush America, and
the utmost enthusiasm prevailed among
the seamen of the fleet. A Russian
warship was also there and it was evil
dent, according to Captain Jones, that
a very friendly feeling existed between
her crew and those of the Spanish
ships.
