that the president contemplates calling
for 100. 900 volunteers, and that Mon
ms quota ould be ii9. all cavalry
men. At present there are only three
troops of cavalry of not more than GO
men each. IL has been hough that
some members of the LIST infantry, N.
G. NJ, might be DESTROYS of going to
the front with this cavalry squadron,
and should be given first consideration
in the selection OF volunteers. No def
mite instructions have been received as
TO the way in which these men will be
mounted. but IL is surmised hat eacr
mar will be required to furnish a good.
sound saddle horse. color black. bay or
sorrel. Is hands or over, and weighing
not less than 975 pounds. for which the
volunteer will be paid a per diem CT
about 40 cents, and furnished with for

Captain Otto Schoenfeldt spent sun
day in Helena urging the governor to
permit his troop Of cavalry to go to
the front at once. He felt very sue
cessful until the Standard bulletins
arrived this afternoon. announcing that
Montana's quota would be composed
of infantry. He did entirely wilt then,
but set the wires in motion. and to-
night he received the following tele-
gram from the state treasurer, T. e.
Collins:
Carter wires he will probably be able
to arrange for five troops of cavalry
and one battery as M~ontana's quota"
The captain and his men are I'm hopes
that the Billings and Bozeman troops
will be ~dismounted and the Great Falls
troop allowed to go as cavalry.

Matanzas. via Key West, 1:i5 a. M.
April 25.-The Dauntless. the dispatch
boat OF the associated press, steamed
from off Havana to the blockadins
squadron off Matanzas yesterday, be-
ing the first dispatch boat to visit the
United States vessels cruising off this
port. The Dauntless left the squadron
at Havana just after the flagship New
York sailed. presumably for Key West.
She followed the flagship for an hour
and then gave up the chase. as the des-
tination of the New York Vas appar-
emily clear. She was alongside the In
diana for a while.
The Wilmington, Detroit and several
other vessels were further In shore. The
Iowa. following the orders of Rear Ad-
miral Sampson, was far enough off Ha-
vana To escape any fire from the shore
batteries.
There has been no Incident worth
noting since the capture of the Span
ish steamer Castalina and two schoon-
ers in the early morning. The Nash
vile and Castine are doubtless still off
Cienfuegos. on her way from Havana
to Matanzas the Dauntless passed the
torpedo boa Winslow going to report
to the flagship.

quite generally believed here. IL means
tina The national guard must be al
most doubled to place IL on the new
regimental basis. Until h mail de-
tails referred TO by Secretary Alger are
received. II is probable there will be
more or less doubt about the number of
men expected from Montana.
Governor smith a Col
onel Kessler and Adjutant General
brennan here at once to discuss the
latest phase OF the situation. which has
radically changed previous plans. The
government official call will probably
be issued Tomorrow. and the informa-
tion asked by the secretary of war as
to ammunition. camp equipage. etc.
sent to Washington. As Inc troops are
to concentrate here before leaving Mon
tana. IL is quite likely the barracks at
Fort Harrison. recently vacated by the
Ind and 25th infantry. will be Temporal
riiy used.

Confederation DELAYED.

Washington. April 25.-The war revenue
tariff bill will not be reported to the Jus .
to-day. At the meeting Of the ways and
means committee to-day. when the bill
framed by the republicans was formally
presented for consideration. the demo-
Gratis protested earnestly against a pro-
gramme that would prevent them from
examining its provisions thoroughly be-
fore 1t was reported to the house. They
also asked for An opportunity to offer
amendments in the committee.
After some discussion IL was decided
that the bill should be rome over. the re-
publicans explaining Its provisions. and
tomorrow the democrats should be allow
ed to offer amendments. The bill will be
reported to the house tomorrow. but Its
consideration probably will not begin until
Wednesday.

BLOCKADE OF HAVANA
The Fleet Has Not Captured Any
More Prizes.

on Board the Flagship New York. OF
Havana. April 25.-1O a. m.-The early
morning hours to-day were taken UP
by a vigorous chasing of moving lights.
The only vessel spoken was the British
schooner Iolanthe OF Windsor. N. s. She
was allowed to proceed. She was just
out Of Matanzas No shots nave been
side. The Dolphin and the converted
yacht Eagle arrived from Key West
this morning. The Dolphin carried the
officers and prize crews who hal been
placed ON the steamer Pedro and the
schooner Antonio. All were glad to get
back, although they said they had had
no trouble with their prizes.
The torpedo U Porter made a dar-
ing trip in to the shore under cover of
darkness last night and Lieutenant
Fremont, her commander. lan1ed with
a small party and obtained valuable
information.
The blockade continues under beauti-
full weather conditions. Thu flagship re-
turned TO the blockade line about 4:30
o'clock last evening after an uneventfui
trip. Nothing OF Importance apparently
had occurred during her absence. When
darkness came on last night MORO cas-
tie showed a powerful ~searchlight and
flashed il n~ervousIy arouRd the horizon.
Another searchlight also was seen. IL
ooked from the direction of the Santa
Clara batteries, to h westward OF FL
MORO. Tn searchlight itself could not
be distinguished, only its rays being
yisible. This is due either to the ex-
tremely low position of the light or its
distance from the blockade line. The
MORO light Is placed higher and is an
excellent light. Last night was the
first time the searchlights nave been
used. What benefit they will be to the
Spaniards no one knows. They may
possibly induce the batteries to expeni
some more ammunition In futile shots
at the squadron, but the blockade con-
tinues as before, searchlights or no
searchlights, as, of course, they do not
reach far enough to show our ships.
IL any ships run the blockade they
will have to run a gauntlet of vigilance
that has never been surpassed. Alert
ness of the officers and men continues
at the same pitch as was exhibited
when the squadron first arrived. Ad-
miral Sampson Is more handicapped In
his blockade than were naval COM
manders during the civil war. In many
case they were able to anchor. while
Admiral Simpsons fleet is obliged TO
drift around in a two-knot current. with
no stationary shore light for a guide. 1t
is believed every steamer which has
attempted to enter Havana since the
blockade begun has been captured.
