Gus labors Of a lifetime added 10 age, the

LEGAL POINT IN BLOCKAOlNG

Washington. April 25-From the fact
that the state department has not been
called upon so far TO prepare any procla-
maticn giving notice Of a blockade either
of Porto Rico or the Philippines. it may
be set down as a fact that the naval
forces are not Yet ready to move in that

In the case Of the Philippines IT is just

SPAlN'S INTERNAL FOES

New York, April 23.-Spain's dangers
from within are becoming fully as great
as from without says the Badrid cor
respondent of the World.
The war with the United States prom
ises to cost her the last of her colonial
possessions in the West and East IN
dies, but no one can tell what will be
the result of her rapidly increasing do
nestle troubles-the cabinet crisis, the
dissensions among statesmen and war
riors the intrigues Of the Carlists. the
plotting of weyler and Romero Robledo.
and the popular agitauons.
The street demonstrations in the cap
ttal and elsewhere have assumed such a
threatening character as to cause the
greatest concern TO the queen and her
government
All the political dangers are aggravat-
ed by the financial disturbances in Ma
drid and a dozen principal towns in the
provinces, marked by an alarming run on
the silver reserve of thge Bank Of Spain
q fall in the prices OF securities Of every
kind. and a rise Of exchanges. sending
the gold premium to IS per cent.
These things have made the politicians
and everybody elsep ay less attention to
the news from America and Cuba, start
ling as It is.
The press advises the people to deist
from demonstrations which might be-
come inexpedient and dangerous The
newspapers attribute the financial panic
to the Hebrew bankers and spectators
1t is impossible to describe how BIT
terly the Spaniards are against the Eng
lish. and the feeling increases every
day.
England is the only European paw
err the Spaniards say. that is paralya-
ing the energetic action OF the other
countries to force America TO take her
hands of Cuba"
This feeling is fostered by tbs conti-
mental diplomacy, which encourages
Spain to hope that the powers will inter-
pose as they did between Japan and
China and between Turkey and Greece
TO prevent any other excessive settle
ment after thew ar that could damage
the finances Of the institutions of Spain.

dispatch boat, and wonder was rife as to
where the United Stats blockading feet

A moment or so later. by her lights,
two red and one green. and by a rocket
which she sent up. the torpedo boat Du-

What followed was short, sharp and war

Boat Dauntless. Matanzas. Island of Cuba,
via Key West April 25.-7;42 a. m.-The
Unuited States torpedo boat Foote, Lieu
tenant w. L. Rogers commanding. has the
honor of being the target for the first
shots fired by the Spaniards at the Amer
lean flag during the war just begun The
firing occurred between and o'clock on
Saturday afternoon while the torpedo boat
was taking soundings in the harbor Of
MatanZas. She was within 200 or 900 yards
Of the shore. Suddenly Spanish masked
battery on the east side of the harbor
ond nat very far distant from the Foote,
fired three shots at the torpedo boat
They all went wide of the mark and the
Foote returned to the Cincinnati, where
she reported the result of her soundings
and then announced she had been fred
upon. The Cincinnati was anxious to
steam in instantly and reduce the Span
ish batteries but she was not permitted TO
do SO.
No captures are reported by the feet
of MataGzas.
1t is alleged that two Spanish gunboats
were seen in shore, but the report could
not be verified.

The instructions were obeyed. Before

lights sweep the horizon and soon after
