Havana, April 23.-At 5:4o Friday
afternoon the chamber of commerce
met in extraordinary session to take
into consideration the state OF public
affairs and plan the next measures TO
be adopted IN combination with the
military authorities. General Auro-
leas, the military governor, has taken
supreme charge OF the civil govern
ment of the city.

the Spanish cruiser Alfonzo XIII. was
blown up,

day nights demonstrations of patri-
tic ardor against the stranger and
invader. Business Friday was par
alyZed The impartial says: CAS-
we are writing, war ships of the
United States will have commenced to
execute the ignoble crime decreed by
Washington, namely: To blockade
e Havana. But the guns of our batter
les are about to speak. The moment
has arrived to prove the endurance
and courage of our army. The first
shot fired by the Yankees ought to be
the signal for complete unison of
AmericanSpaniards in defence of
their fatherland. Spain has snatched
victory from more perilous situa-
tions. s"
Madrid, April 23.-The queen regent
Friday consulted Silvela and Romero
Robledo, the conservative leaders.
The former said that he agreed with
the declarations of Marshal Martinez
de Campos, when the latter said:
There are only two parties in Spain,
one for peace and the second for war
The first has failed and the second
ought now to be called" Gamazo,
the liberal leader, urged that the Sa-
gasta cabinet continue in office The
premier, on leaving the palace in the
afternoon, declared absolutely that
there was no foundation in the ru-
mors of cabinet crisis. The senate
will meet today and the chamber

The battleship Oregon, now some
where off Cape Horn, is not a toy
ship and the fear that the Spanish
fleet may attack her as she comes I'D
the coast of Brazil, will give in
terest to a brief description of this
war monster. She is 348 feet long, 50
feet beam, has draft Of "a feet and
weighs 1929 tons. Her coal bunkers
hold 1,640 tons; she has 5000 horse
power and a speed of Is knots; her
sides are protected by IS inches of
steel and her turrets by Is inches.
Her armament consists of 4 13-inch,
S-inch and 6-inch breech-loading
guns; 20 6-pounder and 1-pounder
rapid-fring guns and 4 Calling guns.
She has 424 men exclusive Of officers
Nor is she safe vessel to attack
with torpedoes, for, besides her
mighty armament, she possesses six
whitehead torpedo tubes. The Span
ish fleet will do we'll to keep a dis
lance Of about fifteen miles away
from such a warship as this.

ton to be present. Among them will
be large number of women of ma
tional reputation in various lines of
public work. Every subject on the
program will be treated by specialists
and no paper or subject used at Louis
vile will be repeated. The program
will be of intense interest to all
women whether home makers or wage
earners. Aside from the attractions
of the biennial the women of Denver
have arranged the most generous and
typical western hospitality Recep-
tions, garden parties and fetes will
occupy the hours spared for social
functions and a free excursion into
the mountains viii be given all the
delegates on Saturday by the biennial
local board. The biennial will be
held in the Broadway theater which
will be freshly decorated each morn

the Rockies. The question of rates
is not yet definitely settled but it is
thought that they will be lower than
ever before The Western PASSENGER
association has decided upon one fare

Eastern association will accept this
rate. There will be stop-over al

gun day or two ago, was changed by
direction Of the department in some
respects to meet the conditions of the
moment at southern posts, but, in gen.
eral. there are indications that the
department is acting with the purpose
Of concentrating no less than $4,000
men at gulf ports within the next ten
days, ready for. embarkation to Cuba
The number of men required from
each state, it is said, will be in pro-
portion to the population According
to this ration, Illinois would be called
upon to furnish 6,439 men; Wisconsin
2,619; Michigan 3,495; Iowa 3,01S; Ne
braska 1927; South Dakota 1.4sO.

stated that in the first call for troops
the national organized guards of the
state would be accepted. Figures in
possession of the war department

such organization, and that in others

TROOPS AT CHICKAMAUGA.
General Brooke Moves His Head
quarters from Chattanooga

Chattanooga, April 24.-General
Brooke Saturday moved his head
quarters from Chattanooga to Chicka-
manga battlefield on the east slope of
Lyle Hill. The work of unloading
soldiers and camp equipments as they
arrived proceeded under adverse cir
cumstances. A heavy rain fell during
the night, soaking the fields and max
ing the clay roads slippery and in
places so soft as to render difficult the
hauling of the heavy army wagons

THEY'RE AFTER HER.
Fast Spanish Cruisers Are Probably
Chasing the Paris.

London, April 23.-The Spanish en-
bassy has notified Madrid of the de-
parture of the Paris. 1t is probable
that fast cruisers from Cadiz will try
to intercept her.
London, April 23.-The Liverpool
correspondent of the Daily Telegraph
says that surprise is expressed there
that the Paris should have sailed un-
escorted, especially as there were ru-
mors in Mersey that the Spanish
war vessels were waiting to intercept
her off the south coast Of Ireland.

Spanish Engineers Afraid OF Their
Own Torpedo Boats.

Galveston, Tex, April 23.-It is
reported by Captain Barnes of the
British steamer Astoun, which arrived
Friday from Las Palmas, Canary
islands, that the delay of the Spanish
torpedo fleet at that place attributed
to rough seas was in fact due to the
deliberate disabling of the engines by
engineers who did not want to cross
the sea. Repairs were made by local
mach1nlsts, as the engineers could not
be trusted

Attorney General Mylrea has re-

questions were designed to show
whether Or not the association is a

that the association is not a corpora

not required to answer the questions.
