Washington. April 27.-The result Of
the presidents proclamation on tho
seizure Of prizes is likely to be the release
OF some Of the ships already captured.
though il will be for the prize courts to
determine in each case whether the con-
ditions under which the ship was cap
tured are such as to warrant release.
The impression prevails that the Buena
Ventura, the first on the list of prizes,
Will be declared no prize. The case of
the Panama. whose seizure was reported
yesterday, is more complicated owing
10 the fact that, while otherwise eX mpt.
the ship was reported To have contained
supplies for the Spanish army in Cuba
which are contraband. However. it may
be said that while the settlement Of tht Sc
questions will be left To the courts, the
administration believes the great ST
llberality should be shown in the appli-
cation of the laws where a vessel is not
cuntraband or attempting To run the
blockade. That is shown in the liberal
terms of the proclamation itself by which
the prize courts must be guided. 1t is
noted also that the administration has
not been deferred by any criticism n
congress from again formally pledging
itself to the nations % the world to re-
frain from prtvateering and abid by
the declaration of Paris of 1856.

Perhaps the most interesting disclos-
ures of Tuesday. apart from official ac-
tion, We're that arrangements had al
ready been made looking TO the summary
acquisition of the Hawaiian islands, and
that the first step had been taken in es-
taOlishing communication with General
Gomez, for the administration got no
news about the movements of the Span
ish fleets. which are more interesting To
Washington than anything else
The president issued proclamation
formally announcing a liberal policy in
dealing with merchant vessels during
the war, under which most of the prizes
taken 10y the north Atlantic squadron
could not have been taken, but the de-
C.sion Of their cases is to be left. it is
stated, To the prize court, although the
release of some of the vessels. or Of their
CargOes, in view of ownership by Amer
leans or neutralS, may be anticipated
1t is felt that the proclamation will put
US in a favorable contrast with Spain
before the maritime nations.

on the New York OF Havana. April
21-The news from Matanzas. Cardenas

the blockade has been firmly established
AT those ports. The Foote is reported
as having been fairly on the Matanzas

uaity Of any kind in the fleet has been
heard of on the flagship.
Lieutenant Juan Del Pine OF the Span

been turned over from the Cincinnati
The cruiser captured the Spaniards while
they were in q small schooner bound for

circumstances Rear Admiral Sampson

There Is another side to this glorious

Washington. April 2I.-The naval Of
ficials have noted with some d!squet the
fact that the Spanish fleet at Cape de
Verde. before leaving under orders from
the Portuguese government. made heavy
purchases of supplies there. These We're
of the most varied description, such as
medicine and miscellaneous goods, for
which. in ordinary times, the fleet could
as easily have waited until it reached
Spanish port Therefore, it is suspected
that the purchases show a purpose on
the part of the Spanish admiral to start
on Il long cruise.

Cambridge, Mass, April 27.-At a
meeting of the Harvard faculty the sub
ject of student enlistment was dis
cussed, No definite conclusion was
reached, but it was officially announced
after the meeting that the case of the
enlistment of students will be consld-
erately dealt with at the proper time by
the faculty, each case on its merits.
The general feeling among the older
members of the faculty, based on the
experience of college men in the civil
war, is that the wisest course for stu
dents at present is to make the most Of
the opportunities for drill offered by the
university rather than go into active
service with no training. The corpor-
alton Is at present taking steps to give
more efficient military instruction for
the increasing number Of students who
desire it.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1898-04-29

a rather startling suggestion in this
connection is that the Spanish fleet may
make directly for the Philippines by way
of the Cape of Good Hope to attack Com
modore Dewey's squadron which 1t
would far exceed in strength. The Suez
canal being closed under neutral laws
to Warships of belligerents, there would
be nothing to do in this case but to send
some of Admiral SIMPSONS ships on a
long, stern chase after the Spanish fleet,
or to instruct Admiral Dewey to repair
to home waters.

ance of trade, although they are all
taxes which are unwelcome and which
1t would not have been necessary to i'm
pose if war had been avoided While
all of the additional taxes are war taxes
which would be naturally repealed or
modified when the necessities of the war
and the payment of war expenses have
ceased, yet it is impossible now to place
a limit on them not only for the reason
that no one can intelligently forecast
the length of the war, but also for the
reason that war always brings train of
extraordinary expenditures which do
not terminate with the close of the act
ual hoStilitieS. 1t is evident that it will
be necessary in order to maintain the
public credit, not only to raise the ad-
ditional revenue provided by the ac-
companying BILL but also to authorize
the secretary of the treasury to borrow
on the credit of the government from
time to time, as the public necessities
will require. We have given therefore
authority to issue and sell not exceeding
$500, 100000 3 percent coin bonds to
be offered as popular loan, believing
as we do that such bonds will be taken
from time to time by the masses of the
people"

WASHINGTON, January 1S.-Jas.
A. Scrymser, president of the Pacific
Gable Company, appeared before the
House Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce today to advocate
a contract with the United States,
which he said would not call for a
subsidy, whereby the company would
transmit all official messages for $175,-
900 per year for 20 years from San
Francisco, to Hawaii, China and Jap
an, with proposition to extend it to
Australia for $4,000 additional per
year.
He said that during the Venezuelan
trouble it had cost the Government
$4,000 for one diplomatic message, and
no one knew what the Government s
aggregate expense was in this connec-
ton 1t would take 5000 miles of
cable from San Francisco to Honolu-

committee as to the monopolistic feat

SEALING MATTER CLOSED.

Great Britain Again Declines to Take

LONDON, January 1S.-Great Brit
ain has again declined to reopen the
sealing question. 1t seems that her
previous refusal gave as it's reason
that while negotiations were pending
between the United States and Cana
da. Great Britain could not reopen
the matter. To this the United States
replied that no negotiations were
pending and renewed the request. But
the Foreign Office sends its regrets
that the Government does not see its
way to reopen the question.

LONDON, January 18.-The country
generally is greatly pleased by an an
nouncement made by the Chancellor
of the Exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks

he echoed the previous declarations
of Mr.. Balfour at Manchester on the
Indian policy of the Government, and
added that the Ministers were deter
mined, even at the cost of of war,
that the Chinese commerce should not
be closed to Great Britain.
This declaration is taken as, outlin-
ing the Governments position, and
both the Liberal and Conservative
newspapers commend the plain speak
