AND ALSO CAPTAIN SIGSBEE OF
THE UNFORTUNATE MAINE.
Spelling FOR A FIGHT
Lieutenant Ramon de Carranza Takes
Exceptions to Statements Made by
Lee and Sigsbee Before Congress
sional Committees and Forthwith
Issues Challenges. O..

Washington, April 26. Lieutenant
Ramon de CarranZa, of the Spanish
royal navy, until recently q naval at
tache of the Spanish legation at
Washington, has challenged General
Fitz Hugh Lee and Captain Sigsbee Of
the Maine to fight duelS. The chal-
lenges were issued the night the Span
ish minister withdrew from Washing
ton. De Carranza determined upon
this course of action Immediately after
Lee and Sigsbee stated before the
congressional committees that, in their
responsible for the blowing up of the
Maine. De Carranza'S first challenge
was sent to Lee, and it is rather more
lengthy than the one to Sigsbee. 1t
is most deferential, even courtly, in
tone, according to the tenants of duel
ling, nut aside from the challenge
proposition, it contains an Intentional
insult to Lee with view to proyok-
ing him to acceptance. The letter
states that Lee, in his testimony be-
fore the congressional committee,
stated that in his judgment Spanish
officials exploded the NINE which
blew up the Maine. This, De Carranza
asserts in his challenge, is a direct re-
Election upon the honor OF
the naval officers who had
charge of the de1enses of Havana.
Any man who makes such a charge
on belief, and not on proof" the chal-
lenge proceeds, lis himself capable of
committing. the crime. The chal-
lenge closes as follows: FOR eight
days | shall await your answer at the
Spanish consulate at Toronto The
challenge to Lee was mailed the Goth
inst, as the Spanish minister and
party were leaving the United States.
In the challenge to Sigsbee eight days
also are given during which a reply
may be sent to the Spanish consulate
in Toronto. The challenge was sent
IN care of the navy department.
Sigsbee had previously left for Phila-
delphia to take command of the St.
Paul, SO that the letter may not have
reached him. Since the challenges
were sent no word has reached here
as to the purposes of Lee or Sigsbee.
A dispatch from Toronto indicates
that no acceptances or destinations
have reached there. Carranza, who
is about 45 years of age, is an ex-
pert sWordsman and pistol shot. It
was suggested to him that duelling

that these officers would not invoke
the laws or customs of the country in
the present case
Philadelphia, April 26.-Captain
Sigsbee, when seen in reference to
Cannanza's challenge, said that he
had received no challenge and believed
none had been sent. He refused to
say what he would do if he received
the challenge.

the latter was secretary. He resigned
his place in the state department to
accept the chair of international law
at Columbia university.
The officials of the department have
been preparing another proclamation
which will be issued in a day or two
treating of prizes and defining the
conditions and time when such seiz-
ures might be made.
1t has been understood for some
time that Assistant Secretary Roose-
welt would soon retire, to enter mill
tary service in the Cuban campaign.
This story can now be confirmed
positively. although the time set for
Roosevelt's departure from the de-
partment has not been definitely fixed.
The president Monday named Roose-
welt as lieutenant colonel of one of the
regiments Of mounted rif1lemen to be
raised in the Rocky mountains under
Colonel Wood. Talk OF a successor
to Roosevelt as assistant secretary has
been mere speculation. 1t may be
noted in view of the recent mention of
the name of Admiral Walker in that
connection that the law requires the
office of assistant secretary to be filled
by a civilian, so if the admiral de-
sired to accept the office he would be
under the necessity of resigning from
the navy and lose his pace as re-
tired officer.
There was a dearth of news from
the scene of hostilities off the Cuban
coast. A few kilograms came from
Key West announcing the arrival there
of prizes whose character had been re-
ported.
Nothing could be obtained as to the
intentions of Commodore SchleJ in so
hastily rushing away the flyers Co
Iumbia and Minneapolis from Hamp-
ton Roads, but it is believed that their
purpose is to shelter the Paris or some
other liners. There was talk of ea~
tabIishing a supply depot in the Phil
ippines to meet the conditions in the
Asiatic waters. Our fleet there now
has no home, and under neutrality
laws the stay Of ships at any port is
limited to a few hours. The depart
ment purchased two more tugs, the
Hortense of New Orleans and the Mary
Willick of Galveston.
The feature of the day at the war
department was despatch to the gov
ernors Of the states notifying them
how many men they would be expected
to furnish as volunteers.
The department got notice Monday

that John Logan, son of Senator Lo-
gan, had raised a cavalry regiment
which he offered to the government
under his own command. John Jacob
Aston of New York has come forward
with the notice that he has raised and
equipped at his own expense a battery
of artillery, which he desires to offer
to the government for service in Cuba.
The offer will probably be accepted,
although the department has been
deluged with offers to raise volunteers
in this way to the aggregate number
of $4,000 men. AS the presidents au-
thority by the volunteer bill is to en-
list only three regiments outside of the
regular quotas to be furnished by a
state there is not much opportunity to
accept the services of these patriots.
The order to the district militia to &
into camp mere at the soldiers nome
was revoked just at the moment when
it was in execution, owing to the fact
that the sudden calling away of some
employees from the departments with
out notice threatened to cripple the
government service.
The action OF the president, recon-
mending the formal declaration OF
war, was welcomed by the officials in
every direction, as putting the present
struggle on a more dignified basis
and tending to avoid international
complications.
Nothing is known IN the navy de-
partment of the reported cutting OF
the cable connecting Cuba with Key
West by thei Mangrove ten miles out
at sea. There is good deal of doubt
as to the accuracy of the report. II
is believed that the most that has been
done in that direction is the tapping OF
the cable for strategic purposes. The
United States was a party to the con-
vetion at which most Of the maritime
powers of the world agreed to refrain
from interference with the cables il

WRITING ON GLASS.

The easiest way to write or paint
on glass is to take solution Of fish
glue and distribute it with soft
brush over the surface of the glass
Of course the solution must be care
fully filtered, and when it is applied
to the glass pane the glass must be
held over a stove or lamp in a slant
ing direction, to allow the surplus
solution to flow off and to dry
thoroughly without streaking. When
the pane has been prepared in this
way it is ready to write or paint upon.
Even writing of microscopic minute
ness can be applied to the prepared
glass surface without the danger OF
the ink running. On this surface
colors, India ink and any kind OF
pigment may be employed.-Crockery
and Glass Journal.

Liverpool which says that a private

the American fleet off Key West cap

Garcia, flying the Spanish flag, which
cleared Pensacola April Is, bound for
