DECLARATION OF WAR.
The Message Will be Sent to Con-
gress Tomorrow.

WASHINGTON. April 23.-It was
learned to-day that the message of the
President to Congress recommending q
declaration Of war will be sent to Con-
gress on Monday. The naval officials
are anxious to have the declaration
made at the earliest moment, in order
that they may make sure of prize
money resulting from the sale of Span
ish ships they may capture.
However, it may be stated that sew
eral members of the Cabinet are op-
posed to seizure of merchant vessels
which are neither loaded with contra
band of war nor destined to supply with
food the Spanish forces in Cuba, TAX
ing the view that although the rules of
war as practiced in the past do permit
the seizure of such craft, the action
is hardly consistent with the position
taken by the United States at the time
of the Paris agreement. The refusal
of the United States to enter the agree
ment to refrain from the practice OF
privateering was largely because the
Government desired to carry the prin-
ciple much further, and exempt from
seizure the property of individuals at
sea.
Although our Government is not
bound at present by any statement
made at that time, there is a belief on
the part of some of the Cabinet off,
GERS that merchant vessels should have
at least the benefit of a notice of hos
tilities before seizure.
Meanwhile in the opinion of the ma
val authorities and the State Depart
ment, no prize money is likely to be
awarded on the Spanish vessels already
captured in advance of a declaration
of war.

PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.
An American Protectorate Would
be Welcomed.

LONDON, April %. The Evening
News" publishes a dispatch from Sing
apore saying that Il am informed on
the highest rebel authority in the Phil
ippine Islands, through a confidential
channel. that an American protectorate
would be welcomed at present, as a
guarantee of public safety, pending the
creation of a reformed administration
There is reason to believe that the
Spanish mail steamer Isla de Mindano
will be captured before she arrives at
Manila Before starting she was pro-
vided with British and Russian flags,
and painted out the name on the fun
mel, in imitation of the steamers of the
Russian volunteer fleet, a number Of
which are on their way to Port Arthur.
Admiral Dewey learned of the scheme
from General Lee on April 18th. A
homeward- bound Spanish mail steamer
has mounted two quick-firing guns and
two Nordenfelts on improvised mount
ings at Manila, although the vessel Will
not bear the shock of the discharge of
the guns, owing to the weakness Of the
fxings."

CALLED AWAY.
Death Claims Samuel S. Nixon,
the We1l-Known Citizen.

Samuel S. Nixon died yesterday at
his. home, Eighth and L streets, efter
a rather brief illness. For many years
Mr. Nixon had been leading a quiet
life, prior to which he was engaged in
the horse-shoeing business near the
Golden Eagle Hotel. He made consid-
erable money, but so many years close
application and hard work impaired his
constitution, and several years ago he
retired from business. The death of
his wife and one of his daughters (Mrs.
H. H. Love- seemed to weigh on him,
and doubtless had some effect on his
health.
Mr.. Nixon was one of the solid citi-
zens of the community, though he never
obtruded himself into public life, being
a man who cared more for the society
of his family than for popular gather
ings, political or otherwise. He was a
prominent member of tbs order Of odd
Fellows. Deceased leaves a daughter
and son-Mrs. j. w. Stevens and Har-
ry Nixon. He was a native of Ire
land and &c years of age.

FOUGHT SIX ROUNDS.
Young Peter jackson Defeats Ed
O'Brien Easily.

There was a ten-round contest at the
Theater Comique last night-at least it
was to be ten rounds, but it fell short
of the limit, owing to the willingness
of the contestants to get down to busi-
ness. Ed OBrien and Young Peter
Jackson were the opponents, and were
pretty we'll matched in size and
strength, but the colored man was in
the best condition, anG the cleverest,
and he won out. There were six hot
rounds, O'Brien having rather the test
of it in the first two, and those Who
like to see slugging were fully satisfed;i
but O'Brien grew weak after the third
round, and his second threw up the
sponge at the end of the sixth, and
Jackson was declared winner.

The organization into brigades of all
the cavalry regiments of the United
States army centered at Chickamauga
National Park is now complete The
following general order was issued to-
day by Major General Brooke:
Camp George H. Thomas, Chicka-
mauga Park, Ca, April 23, 1S9S Gen
eral field order No. 4. The cavalry of
this command is organized as follows:
Cavalry Division-Colonel A. K. Ar
mold, First Cavalry, commanding.
First Brigade-First Cavalry, Second
Cavalry, Tenth Cavalry
Second Brigade-Third Cavalry, Sixth
Cavalry, Ninth Cavalry.
The light artillery and infantry will
be brigaded in later order.
By command of General Brooke
Fully 5000 regular troops are now
encamped at Chicamauga, the num-
Der to-day having been almost doubled.
The soldiers arrived SO fast that it was
difficult to handle them promptly, hard
ly an hour of the day passing without
two or more long trainloads coming
in. The work of unloading the trains
at the park was rendered doubly diff
cult by rain, which fell at intervals al,

VANCOUVER (B. c., April 23.-Ac-
on the steamer Warrimoo from Hon
olulu, the sensational story that the
American flag was to be hoisted over
Honolulu is without foundation. The
Hawaiian Gazette" the official Gov
eminent organ, under date of April
18th. publishes denials by United States
Minister Sewall, Admiral Miller and
President Dole, who say the story is
absurd.
The Warrimoo arrived this morning
after a tempestuous voyage. She left
Sydney March 26th, and Honolulu
April 18th.
She brings news from Honolulu that
United States Consul Haywood has
bought up all available coal at that
port for the use of the United states
Government to meet any emergency
which may possibly arise owing to the
commencement of hostilities. The total
amount purchased was 1000 tons, the
price paid being a very high one. The
United States has already 500 tons there
and the extra supply will the Consul
believes, meet all demands until more
arrives in the regular way.
Shipping companies will not sell any
coal at any price, as all they have will
be required for their steamers. The
big purchase of the United States has
stripped the market, and it is feared
steamers coming to Honolulu to coal
will be compelled to tie up.

CUBAN BLOCKADE.
So Arranged as to Keep Insurgent
Territory Open.

NEW YORK, April pa special to
the Times from Washington says:
At about the hour that Captain
Captain SIMPSONS Key West squadron
was making its appearance off Havana
to carry out the plans of the Admins
tration for blockading the principal
ports of Cuba the President was issuing
his proclamation announcing that
blockade, and thus shutting out from
Captain General Blanco and his forces
the provisions and reinforcements upon
which he must depend to be able to
maintain the fighting ability of his SOL
diers and to fill up the ranks. thinned
by disease and other causes
The blockading plan is but a step
toward the development of a larger
plan yet to be unfolded A glance at
the map of Cuba, bearing in mind the
words of the proclamation of the Pres
ident, will show only that the blockade
is contrived to oppress Blanco and af-
ford the largest opportunity to Gomez

in force and contribute their part to
the driving out of Spain's forces. The
ports on the north side Of Cuba, from
Cardenas on the east to Bahai Hondo
on the west and Cienfugos on the south.
are also by which only Blanco can ex-
pect to secure aid from the sea- The
middle section of the island is that in
which the Spanish forces have been and
are concentrated.
All of the far eastern provinces and
the extreme went of Cuba are substan-
TALLY in the hands of the insurgents or
abandoned by the Spanish. The ports
of those sections will remain uncovered
and aid for the insurgents can run into
them without molestation from vessels
from the United States. a..
The coast guard of Spain in Cuba is
made up of a few small vessels. the
powerful ships of war having been
withdrawn in order to carry out some
plan of operations at this time known
only to the Spanish naval officers
This method of warfare will go on
until the United States land forces can
be made ready and the opportunity
reached for cooperating with the fleet
The time would be lost that can now be
employed to advantage if the volunteers
that are to be called into service should
first be required to be fully organized be-

hand are low, and will be speedily ex
hausted. The spirits of the army will
be lost as soon as starvation is added
to failure to pay. When weakness is
added to illness and dissatisfaction, the
fresh troops of the United States would
be an unequal match for troops poorly
disciplined and worse fed, even in the
most propitious of times
