WASHINGTON, April pa meet
ing of the cabinet was held today, al
that the administration now considers
the war as being on, and that hostili.
ties will be pressed at all points as
rapidly as possible.
The president today issued a procla-
nation which announces blockade of
the port of Havana on the north and
Cienfuegos on the south coast of Cuba.
These blockades it is itended to enforce
Immediately with the vessels of the
North Atlantic fleet, which sailed
from Key West this morning at 5:45.
The orders to the fleets, it is announc-
ed, will hereafter be held secret, to
prevent the Spaniards gaining an ink
ling of the governments plans.
Rapid progress is being made with
the various war measures brought be-
fore congress during the past three
days. The coal embargo resolution
today received the presidents sigma
ture, and is now law, and the con-
ference report on the volunteer army
bill passed bo h houses of congress.
The naval bill will probably go through
Monday.
A proposition is understood to be
under consideration blythe admins
tration to take possession of both the
and Hawaiian islands, as
war measure, but the report could not
be officially confirmed.

KEY, WEsEs #Ae.y Apri. 22.-To the
cruiser Nashville belongs the gIolV OF

of the var. The vessel captured was
the steamer Buena Ve4tura, from Pas
cagoula, Miss. for Rotterdam, with
lumber. The Nashville, on sighting
the Spaniard, fred blank shot, which
the latter ignored. This was followed
by shot from a six FOUNDER. The
Buera Ventura then surrendered with
crew of 20 men. The Nashville
towed her prize into this harbor at IL

The news of the capture of the

HARD TO CATCH.

A railroad traffic association is about
az hard to catch as California flea. The
recent supreme court decision on this
subject seemed final and to all appear
ances was all that conld he desired, but
subsequent events put another face on
the situation. A recent dispatch states
that general agents of the more promi-
nent railroads in the territory between
Chicago and Plttsbure aud Buffalo and
the great lakes and the Ohio river have
decided that the organization under
which they have been working, the Gen.
trail Passenger Association, was in viola
ton of the supreme court ruling in the
Joint traffic case. But instead OF follow
ing the lead Of the parties to the latter
agreement and killing the association, it
was voted to merely change the form OF
the constitution and eliminate such parts
of it as were believed to be contrary to
the decision OF the chief justices.
The old agreement of the Central Pas
senger Association provided for the es-
tablishment and maintenance of rates.
This clause was entirely cut out, and in
its stead was one setting forth that the
objects of the association are to exchange
authentic information regarding tariffs
aud any unreasonable rates and cooper
ate with the interstate commerce COM
mission in preventing and investigating
illegal cuts. The association has not dis.
banded, nor was there any attempt to
disrupt it. In fact there was no material
change in the organization in the elImi-
nation OF the obnoxious clause referring
to agreed rates.
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1898-11-17

that the distance from Manila to London
Is, via Suez canal, 1900 miles; via Mica
rsgua canal, IA $50 miles. The Suez CO.
nal route has an equivalent advantage OF
fully 1900 miles over the Nicaragua route
for the trade Of Asia and Australia with
our Atlantic seaports, and Of fully 1000
miles over thai route with respect to the
trade OF Asia and Australia with any Of
the countries Of Europe. In q word,
Asiatic and Australian commerce is absc-
lutely eliminated from the Nicaragua ca
nal route, and the Nicaragua canal will
never be available for sailing vessels on
account OF the lack of wind.
"'In recent years three OF the enlight-
ened nations of Europe have Numbered
egregiously in regard to the construction
Of canals. Seventy four millions of dol
lars have been sunk in the construction
OF the Manchester canal of England,
which does not pay it's running expenses !;
about one-seventh OF the tonnage pre-
dicted for it, and the Corinth canal of
Greece--one OF the favorite schemes of
Nero, and for centuries the dream OF
commercial writers-represents today lit
tie more than money thrown away
In regard to the military advantages
of the canal, Mr.. Nimmo claims that if
they exist they are of doubtful charac-
ter. The exclusive use of the canal by
the United States in time OF war would
compel the protection OF the canal
throughout its entire length (l70 miles)
and particularly at its ends. He says :
If the canal had been completed year
ago, the force employed to afford the Ore
gon safeguard through the canal would
have several times exceeded the value of
the military service which she could per.
form. She would undoubtedly have
taken the less hazardous route around
Cape Horn.'"
The argument OF the railway ststisti-
clan against the construction of a trans
isthmisn canal is specous and mslead-
ing. Expert civil engineers of genius
and eminent attainments in their pre-
fession haye demonstrated beyond ques-
ton the feasibility of the the plan and the
greatest minds from Humboldt to Grant
have predicted the wonderful results to
the country at large flowing from its COM
pletion.
1t will.be interesting to watch the three
cornered canal struggle which promises
to be fought to the bitter end during the
coming session OF congress.

1t will probably b. Senator John L
Wilson again for another six years. If
we can't have silver man, Senator
Wilson will do az well "a anybody else
and probably better, by reason of the ex-
perience he has gained during the pres
ent term. Among the names 80 far men
toned none strike us more favorably
than that OF Senator Wilson.

4 THREE-CORNERED FIGHT.

One of the leading questions that will
come before the next session of congress
in the construction of the Nicaragua Ca
nal or the completion of the Panama Ca
nal. Both of these undertakings are
backed by strong influence, and the pro-
motors of the Nicaragua plan, who have
received large concessions from the gov
eminent, will have strong competition
from those who have already sunk large
sums on the isthmus at Panama. OPP
posed to both of these will be the trans
continental railroads, large share OF
whose business is menaced by any ca
nal proposition.
The recent long trip OF the Oregon
around Cape Horn has led the American
people to believe that canal Is almost a
necessity, and it will be interesting to
note how far popular demand will reach
as opposed to the commercial interests of
our railways, which usually manage to
have their own way in such matters.
OF the two plans the Nicaragua route
seems to be the more popular in the Unit
ed States, and would probably have been
the only one to receive any practical con-
sderation had it not been for the recent
appearance OF Panama representatives.
OF this plan the New York Commercial
Advertiser says:
Even if physically feasible, it is
likely that the work cannot be done be-
cause of the impractcabilty OF putting
a force on it sufficient to accomplish all
the work that has to be done smultane-
ously. On critical section of the canal
the work undoes itself nearly as fast as it
is done, the pressure OF the adjacent
mountain chain forcing vast masses of
sand and mud into the excavation as fast
as it can be dug away. For a long time
no one has believed that the work was
prosecuted in good faith; yet thousands
Of laborers are employed on the canal at
this day, and French investors keep
sinking money in the Panama quicksan
at is claimed for the Nicaragua route
that it is practicable; that it is much
uthftf u tUo Ouitcu Stdtc5 tudu tuht Vi
Panama; that the routes by way of it
from one of our coasts to the other and
from our ports to those of most other
lands are shorter, and that it would be
under United States control. The people
of the Pacific coast are extremely eager
for the canal, and no candidate for any
office would think of disappearing of the
project. Not only would it relieve them
of the yoke of the railroads, which
they have found 80 burdensome, but they
believe it would advance the price of e,-
cry bushel of wheat harvested on the
coast
"The chief exponent of the opposition
or Panama route is Joseph Nimmo, jr.,
the railway statstician, and he presents
some points which are worthy of atten
ton. Here is what he said in a recent
interview: The superintendent of the
coast and geodstic survey informs me
that the distance from Manila to New
York is, via the Suez canal, ii ,565 miles /;
via Nicaragua canal, ll,764 miles; Also
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1898-11-17

Recent action on the part OF Nicaragua
granting valuable concessions to new
syndicate in case the canal is not dug
under the present concession, will prob
ably bring canal matters to head very
