50 Gen. BIaneo Told the Mob In
Havana.

| Havana, April 21.-(11 p. M. lin re-
sponse to the manifesto from the palace
the people began early this evening to
decorate the public buildings and many
private residences, balconies and windows
with the national colors. A general
illumination of the city followed, as on
the occasion of a great national festiVity.
The people rushed into the stores to get
ribbons of the Spanish national colors
and about half past eight thousands of
demonstrators reached. the square opposite
the palace, committee entering and
rendering to the governor general, in the
name of all, their estates, property and
lives in aid of the government, and
pIedging their readiness TO fight the
invader.
Governor General Blanco than ked them
in the name of the King, the Queen
Regent and the imperial and colonial
governments, assuring them that he
would do everything in his power to pre-
vent the invaders setting foot in Cuba.
General Blanco then went out on tbs
balcony of the palace, where he could
look down upon the square, Gro wded
with thousands Of patriotic manifesto
tants cheering and making an imposing
demonstration. Gen. Blanco thanked the
people, assuring them that he would lead
them to victory.
"Otherwise I shall not live," he said.
"Do you swear to follow me to the
fght?''
The crowd answered., "Yes, yes, we do"
"Do ynu swear to give the last drop Of
blood in your veins before letting for
eigner stamp his foot on the land we dis
covered, and place his yoke upon ths peo-
pie we civilized?"
The crowd shouted back, eyes, yes,
we do.''
General Blanco said: "The enemy S
| fleet is almost at Morro castle. almost at
| the doors Of Havana. They have money
| hut We have blood to shed and we are
ready to shed it. We will throw them in
| to the sea. ~
! The crowds interrupted him with
shouts Of applause and ne finished his
speech by shouting, viva Espana, !"
Viva Ell Rey,'' sLong live y, the
navy and the volunteers.
The crowd responded with vociferous
enthusiasm. After the deputations the
colonels and chiefs of the volunteers
presented themselves to the governor
general and assured him of their willing
ress to shed their blood i'll the defense
| of the territorial integrity of Spain.
Around Gen. Blanco were grouped the
bishops and general Aroylas, Parade,
Carriche, Bsrnal and Arroyo, Admiral
Manterola, the mayor of Havana, the
secretaries of the autonom st government
and the leaders of the principal parties.
| At $50 the manifestants were still

NO COAL.
Spain Comes TO Realize Its Situ-
alton.

London, April PA despatch to the
Daily Telegraph from Barcelona, via
Paris, says:
''Gravs apprehensions are entertained
in the highest government circles that
the issue Of war may be decided not by
yalor or enthusiasm and dogged perss-
verance qualities OF which the Spaniards
possess an abundance, but by reserves of
coal and victuals. Of which they may
have but scsnty provision in Cuba
1t appears that in respect OF coal in par.
ticular they are incomparably worse of
than they have hitherto imagined.
.'The Spanish government firmly be-
lieving down to the very last moment
that peace would be preserved through
the intercession of the Pope and the pow
ers, neglected to lay in sufficient proyis-
ion OF coal, despite the representation
made to them by one or two far-seeing
naval officers. Beside this, it is believed
they never once inquired of the British
or other neutral governments whether coal
would be regarded as coutraband of war.

this relieves the State Department from
those relating to privateering, neutrality

necessary to frame notice to the powers
of the intention of our government to es-
tablish blockade of Havana, q notif1ca-
tion required by international law.
EThe Navy Department today, aside from
giving the orders to the squadron, con-
tinued the work adding to the navy and
purchased another ship at Norfolk as an
auxiliary craft and some small yachts.
The news of the actual beginning of war
was received with gravity at the depart
ment, and there many speculations as to
the destination Of the Spanish squadron.

the time has now come when the inter-
ests of the government require that the
movements Of ships and troops should be
guarded with the greatest care from un-
due publicity in order to prevent the
enemy from taking advantage of the in
formation.
The North Atlantic squadron under
Captain Simpsons command makes a
splendid array of fine vessels, comprising
battleships such as the Iowa and Indiana,
monitors like the Puritan, Terror and
Amphitrite, armored cruisers like the
New York, flagship; protected cruisers
such as the Cincinnati, Marblehead and
Montgomery gunboats like the Vicks-
burg, Wilmington and Annapolis, regular
torpedo boats such as the Ericsson, Cush-
ing, Winslow and the like, not to speak of
the large number Of fast yachts and other
vessels that have been added to the fleet
by purchase.
This force is quite competent to block
ade all the ports in Cuba or at least all OF
the ports connecting by rail with Havana
and SO likelyato be used to supply that
place with food Eand munitions OF war.
This statement is to be taken with the
understanding that it does not contem-
plate the coming to Cuban waters OF the
Spanish fleet. In such case, however, the
probable policy would be to abandon the
blockade and endea vor to force the Span

quarter of an hour in advance of the
hour at which the train was schedules
to leave. But the train started half an
hour late and during the interval Gen.
Woodford conversed with the. representa-
tives of the foreign. press and a number
of friends. An immense crowd gathered
at the station, composed of all classes.
A strong force of police and civic guards
maintained order while amid the crowd
moved large number of private detec-

accompanied Gen. Woodford to the from
tier. The retiring minister maintained
his usual calmness, but looked worn and
fatigued.
80 p. In.-When the crowd was thick

way through and approaching Col.
Moret, the chief of police, shook hands
with him cordially thanking him for his
kindness and zeal in gu arding the United
States legation, and his (Gen. Wood

i When Gen. Woodford took his seat in
the train there was stir among the
spectators and rush toward the window
of the carriage. The minister sat uncon-
cerned and dignited.

American legation which is still guarded
by the police.

/ One suggestion was that it is heading to
cut off the fine battleship Oregon, now
on it's way from the Pacific coast around
to join Captain Simpsons command.
There is also some fear that the Oregon
may be taken at an unfair advantage
not knowing the existence of war, by the
Spanish torpedo boat destroyer Temmerra
which is now lying at sBuenos Ayres.
Possibly, with view Of avoiding con-
flict in the Straits of Magellen. where she
would be at disadvantage, the Oregon
had been ordered to go around Cape
Horn. Relative to the news that come
from Chicago that the three revenue cut
ters on the lakes cannot be availed of for
naval purposes, 1t is aid at the Navy
Department that the department had some
time ago abandoned the idea OF using
these craft owing to the difficulties in
getting them out to the Atlantic sea-
board. 1t was, however, denied that any
international obstacle had been encoun-
tered III shape of notice from the Cana
dian government that the passage of the
ships would not be permitted.

been placed under command of Captain
Glover, who will meet the ship at Nor

Washington, April st.--War between
the United States and Spain is fact,
though not yet officially declared SO by
Congress. The stirring events of yesser-
day were succeeded today with rapidity
by others of equal Importance, iculminat-
ing in the afternoon in orders for the de-
parture of the North Atlantic squadron
for Havana. This practically is an act
of war SO that the war between this coun-
try and Spain may fairly be said to date
from today. Two minutes after the open
ing OF the State Department. today came
word from Minister Woodford that the
Spanish government, having anticipated
and prevented his intention to present the
Presidents ultimatum he had asked for
his passports. The administration in a
public statement announced that 1t re-
garded the action Of the Spanish govern
ment as rendering unnecessary furtner
diplomatic action on the part Of the
United States and further stated that IL
regarded the course adopted Iy SPAN as
one placing upon that country the respon-
sibility for the breach OF friendly rela-
tions.
Mr.. Woodford's telegram resulted in
the calling ofsa special cabinet meeting to
arrange and outline plan of campaign
or rather to determine how to begin the
execution of the plan of campaign already
prepared by the strategetic boards of the
army and navy departments The imme-
diate result was the order for
the North Atlantic squadron to
baoin the blockade of Havsna.
How much further than this the cabinet
progressed in it's deliberation it is not
possible to say for the obvious reason thai

Rushing Troops to Cuba:

There is every evidence in the War
Department that strenuous efforts are
making TO put enough American troops
in Cuba TO meet any call upon them
through the speedy evacuation of the
Spanish garrisons. All the transports
available at Atlantic ports are being pre-
pared under rush orders for sailing south.
Spanish are carrying out their evacuation
contract with unusual celebrity and there
is some question whether American
troops can be concentrated at certain
points before the Spanish leave. Mean
time the Cubans are preparing for DEM
onstrations during evacuation week and it
is thought very desirable to have an ad-
equate force on hand to prevent any out
break that would jeopardize the Ameri-
can entente at the outset.
There will be thirteen custom houses
on the Cuban coast to be turned over to
American control. aud although some Of
these doubtless will be closed, these ports
will require large guard.

Report from Agent Jenkins.

Special Indian Agent jenkins, in re-
port to Commissioner of Indian Affairs
Jones on the investigation of the timber
operations on the Chippewa reservation
In Minnesota, makes some statements
radically differing from those in other re-
ports. He says the trouble was in the
management Of the camps and In the
system itself. Owing to the inability OF
many of the camps to pay out. and. as,
under the rules. the laborers' claims were
the last TO be paid. scores of Indians
working there did not receive the wages
they expected. and hence serious COM
plant arose. or fifty-three camps IN
operation the last fiscal year many en-
ployed less than 10 per cent Indian Ia
Dor. and very few had over 90 per cent,
the Indian labor average being from 10
to 20 per cent. The system of stores main
tanned by the camps. with their exorbi-
tant prices and credit to reckless Indian
buyers, is stated to have caused great dis
satisfaction. The chief source of all the
Indian complaints was that the green
timber Of the reservation was being ruth
lessly cut down and destroyed under pre-
tense of being dead and down timber.
