NO ORDERS
fave Been Given to Commodore
Schley's Squadrom--'A Long Wait
Possible.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 22.-There
were all sorts of rumors at the Navy De-
partment to-day as to the movements of
the flying squadron, but careful inquiry
disclosed the fact that so far Commodore
Schley has not received his sailing orders.
Even should the department abandon its
original intention of maintaining this
naval force at Hampton Roads ready for
immediate service at any point on the
coast that might be threatened, it is I'M
derstood that the change will not be
made until other provision is made for
lust such service as that To allow Com
modore Schley to go to sea on a long
cruise, leaving exposed the great cities of
the Atlantic coast and numberless I'M
protected small towns without some kind
of a naval force to keep off the torpedo
boats and gunboats, would be very bad
strategy. Unless something unexpected
happens Commodore Schley is likely to be
detained near by Hampton Roads until
Commodore Howeils patrol fleet is ready
to replace it.

BEtLMRf ENTHUSIASTIC.
American Capture Celebrated Last
Night With a Big Demonstration.
Over Four Thousand Persons
Headed by Band OF About Sixty
Pieces Marched Through the
Principal Sire disclaimers Bear
ing Interesting Inscriptions Dis
played and the Town Brilliantly
Lighted With Red Fire.

The capture of the Spanish mer-
chairman, Buena Ventura, by the
American battleship Nashville yester-
day, was celebrated at Bellalre last
night with a rousing big demonstra-
ton, and for several hours practically
the entire population forgot everything
else in their expressions of enthusiasm.
In compliance with special request
made soon after the news OF the
American victory was learned, nearly
every member of the Hackett, Heath
erington, X. Of p. and the American
Mechanics bands assembled on Union
street. in front of the Globe, last eve
ming about o'clock. The assembled
members of the four bands numbered
about sixty, and their combination re-
suited in the rendition of some eX-
cellent music After rendering sew
eral patriotic airs, they were Joined by
the Uniformed Rank, X. of F., In
body and wearing their attractive
uniforms, a drum corps, composed
of twenty pieces, and about two nun
bred wheelmen, whose machines had
been hastily decorated for the occa-
sion, and presented very attractive APP
pearances. 1t was about 8 O'Clock
when the order of march was given.
Before the column had moved over
many squares crowd OF men and boys,
numbering between four and i've
thousand, had joined in the process
sion, moving along in any sort OF Or
der American flags OF all sizes were
carried by many and sticks OF red
fire in abundance were burned by the
marchers and residents along the en-
tire line, tie light at times being
sufficiently brilliant to be seen in
neighboring towns. One Of the most
interesting features of the demonstra-
ton was the display Of banners bearing
the following: Cuba Must Be Free,
Remember the Maine. "Hurran Tor
Cuba, We're Ready TO go to War,
etc. Another interesting feature was
the enthusiasm displayed by the ladies,
goodly number Of whom followed the
parade over the entire route and Joined
in the cheers and yells of Cuba must
be free etc, which arose from the big
crowd whenever an American flag was
displayed from window. After the
principal streets had been trayersed,
the procession returned to the place of

A DECLARATION
Of War Will Probably Be Asked For
By the President To-Day.--Reasons
For 1t,

Washington, April 22.-The Wash
ington Post says that the President
will tomorrow send message to Con-
gress suggesting that declaration of
war be passed. The message was in
course of preparation at the State De-
partment this afternoon. This action
was FASTENED by the seizure of the
Spanish merchantmen off the Florida
coast and the desire to prevent any
possible complication The right of
the seizure of the Buena Ventura, how
ever, is not questioned by the admins
tration, since Spain herself accepted
our ultimatum as declaration of war.
1t is probable that until a formal dec
laration is issued we cannot set in mo-
ton the neutrality laws of foreign
countries and III fact would be practi-
cally in the position that Spain occu
pied toward Cuba-denying that war
existed in spite of the actual fact.
There is another reason of material
Importance just now that may. influ-
ence actioh That is that the army and
navy may be prevented from calling for
the services of retired officers owing to
the fact that in some cases the statutes
provide that this may be done only up
on "a declaration of war"
This is notably the case with the
medical corps of the army which is
likely to be under the immediate neces-
sity of calling for a number of retired
officers of that branch of the service.
In the navy also it is extremely desir-
able that the Secretary have the power
to avail himself of the services of re-
tired officers to replace in the navy
yards and stations the younger officers
who are needed afioat.

Jacksonville, Fla, April 22.-Accord-
Ing to private dispatches received by
the Times Union and Citizen to-
night, the first naval battle of the war
took place opposite Boynton, about 20
miles south of Palm Beach, at 10
o'clock this morning.
George Lyman, a reliable man, and
several others, who were fishing in
Lake Worth, which is separated from
the ocean by a narrow strip of land,
heard heavy firing and ran to the
beach. They reported to the railroad
agent and postmaster at Lantana that
United States monitor was chasing
or gunboat conveying a ccaler trans
port ship. The Spaniard replied shot
for shot. All the ships were travelling
with bone in their teeth The men
say they watched the battle for an
hour, or until only the smoke from
the tunnels was visible on the southern
horizon, in which direction they we're
travelling.
A specia dispatch to the Times
Union and Citizen from Lantana says:
AN eye witness has just arrived from
Boynton and reports supposed trans
port vessel southwark bound, guarded
by man of war, pursued by monitor
keeping up heavy fire.
This dispatch was dated at 10 a. nj.
