The ultimatum Of the United

promptly declared that wal existed
with Spain and had existed since

as the policy Of this government to
adhere TO the provisions of the treaty
Of Paris, in regard to pri~vateering.
The President has Issued a call Tor
$4,000 volunteers, aud Louisiana
has been asked TO furnish two regi

that the Spanish feet has been or
dered TO leave Cape Verde Islands
and that the United States has chal-
lenged The Spanish to a naval com
bat in South American waters. The
air is full of rumors of the capture
vessels By both parties. Of the in

that a decisive naval engagement

Objectionable features but we ale not

II il said that the convention did the
best it could undsr the circumslan-
ces, and as some of the nohIest men
in the State are members Of that

fed their desire for fair and honest

Well, they are in the Convention
