Bar Association.

Cleveland, o., Dec. 17.-At a meeting
of the Cleveland Bar association today
a letter of resignation was received
from L. A. Russell, who, at the meet
ing of the association last Saturday

from our association, under the circum-
stances, foul blow was domestic the
reputation of fellow member"

of the lodge for 500. The lodge brought

Magnates.
New York, Dec. 1Z-After a prolonged
session, or rather a series of sessions,
the baseball magnates representing the
twelve clubs in the National League,
concluded their annual meeting tonight
and adjourned to meet again on the
last Tuesday of February, which is the
date of the schedule meeting.
It was decided that a twelve-cluh
schedule, calling for 154 games, should
be arranged for next season. While
these instructions to the secretary os-
tensibly indicate that the playing
schedule has been arranged, and that
the league will consist of twelve clubs
during the season of 1899, there are
many persons who claim to have an in
side knowledge who believe that under
lying all this there is a well defined
scheme to reduce the league to eight
clubs.

More Prizes.

KEY WEST, Fla, April 26.-11:l5 a.
m.-The big Spanish steamship Pana-
ma, OF the Ceballos Line, which left
New York on April 20 for Havana, with
number of Spanish refugees on board
and very valuable cargo, including, il
is understood, stores for the Spanish
army, was captured last evening about
20 miles from Havana by the light
house tender Mangrove, now belonging
to the mosquito fleet. The Mangrove
mounts two six-pounders. She is COM
msnded by Lieut.. Commander w. II.
Everett, and has crew of thirteen
men. The Panama is of about
$500 tons and very valuable prize.
When the Mangrove sighted the Spsniard
she ran up to her and fired across her bows.
Ensign Dayton then boarded the Spanish
steamer and took possession Of her. The
battleship Indiana then steamed up and Com
mander Everett notified Captain Taylor, Of
the Indiana. that lie had captured the Fana-
ma and borrowed prize crew from the bat
tleship. The Mangrove was then ordered to
report to the flagship and Rear Admiral samp-
son told Commander Everett to take his prize
into Key West. The Panama is understood
TO have 80 passengers on board

Britain's Neutrality Proclamation.

LONDON, April 26.--The customary
royal proclamation OF neutrality, de-
fining the attitude of British officials
and British subjects during the war be-
tween Spain and the United States, was
issued to-day. 1t is Identical with the
proclamation issued at the time of the
Chino-Japanese war. 1t prohibits sup
plies being furnished to belligerent
ships, except provisions and coal suffi
cient to carry vessel to the nearest
port OF her own country, no coal to be
again supplied to the same ship. with
out special permission, within three
months of the time she had previously
been supplied. The instructions of the
foreign Office to the authorities give
the belligerents twenty four hours to
leave port. This accounts for the de-
parture of the United States squadron
from Hong Kong and the orders given
to tine Spanish torpedo boat Audaz to
leave Queenstown.

FALMOUTH, Eng, April 26.-Com.
mander Hazleton, of the United Stat. 3
torpedo boat Somers, was notified last
evening as o result of the neutrality
measures adopted by the British gov
eminent that be must not leave thes o
waters. consequently the Somers low
cred her pennanU at o'clock this after
noon. A British torpedo boat hos
taken up position in her vicinity.
The fires of the Somers will be quench-
ed and her crew will be paid off to-
day. One American and four Scandi-
navian seamen arrived here to-day to
Join the Somers. The customs author
tiles sent them to the Sailors Home
and warned them that they would be
arrested if they left the building. 1t is
understood that the apparent severity
of the British towards United States
war vessels is the result OF an under
standing between the two govern
ments. 1t developed later in the day
that the commander of the Somers was
only notified this morning that he must
leave by Wednesday, with only suf-
ficient coal to reach the nearest port OF
the United States. Consequently the
Navy Department at Wa: hington ca
bled Commander Hazleton that the
Somers must be permanently laid up
and the crew paid of. This is now be-
ing done under the supervision of the
local naval authorities. 1t is under
stood that if q prosecution is instituted
for attempt to illegally enlist seamen,
it will be directed against Commander
HaZleton.

the first army.
From semi-oficial source at Chat
tanooga. Tenn, it is learned that Gen.
Brooke expects to be given at least
three weeks within which to complete
the organization of his corps and drill
the troops for actual war service. The
impression among the officers there Is
that the regular army will not move on
Cuba for month or six weeks.
A dispatch from the Cape Verde Isl
ands states that the Spanish feet there

united fleet would comprise one battle
ship, six frst-cass cruisers, six torpedo
boats and seven torpedo boat destroy
ers.

Commodore Dewey's squadron of seven
warships will sail from Mrs Bay this
morning to attack Manila. Consul
Williams will arrive there early to-day

will probably sail Immediately after his

The British foreign Office yesterday
was officially notified of the proc

United States in regard to neutral yes
sells and neutral goods, and the block
ade of the island of Cuba by the United
States fleet. With reference to SPANS
declaration on the subject Of privateer-
ing issued from Madrid on Sunday, the
British officials point out that the reso-
lutions announced by the United States
on the subject were taken without ref
ence to any policy which Spain might
adopt. Therefore it is not expected
that SPANS intentions will affect the
decisions promulgated by the United
States.

The OCCUPATION of Cuba.

CHICKAMAUGA NATIONAL PARE, Ga,
April 26.-Opinion among army officers
varies as to the length of time the
troops will be stationed here. Among
those best informed the opinion is ex-
pressed that no movement in the direc-
ton of Cuba will be made for two
months at least and possibly not be-
fore fall. The army reorganization bill
will necesstate bringing into army dis
cipline an extraordinary number of
raw men, q work necessary before the
forward movement begins As by that
time the weather in Cuba would be
fatal TO the landing of troops, it is be-
lieved by many that the occupation Of
Cuba will not be ordered before autumn.

From Madrid.

MADRID, April 26.-In the Spanish
Senate yesterday Count Almenas asked
whether the government would issue a
letter of marque to any one asking for
such authority. The minister for for
eign affairs replied that Spain occupied
the same position as she held
before the treaty of Paris. At the close
of Senior Sagasta's speech yesterday,
the president of the Senate said, amid
great applause, that the Spanish Sen.
ate had replied to "the insults of the
American Senate with the most pro-
found scorp."
The Spanish government to-day, sent
circular to the powers expressing re.
greet at the "hard necessity of being
compelled to appeal to force in order to
repel the scandalous aggression of the
United States and defend the national
dignity and historical integrity of the
fatherland." After reference to the
"execrable conduct of Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee, the note reproduces the text of
the resolutions of Congress underlining
the last word, ''as intended to deceive
the Cubans." 1t is then predicted that
the Island of Cuba will not be declared
pacifed until sit is ready for annexa-
ton" The note concludes with the
following declaration: "The Spanish
people await the attack with tranquil
serenity, decided to sell their lives
dear and to defend energetically their
right to remain in America, confident
hat in this work they will have the as
,istance of the Cubans, who are Span.
iards like themselves"

THE COLORED TROOPS.

A letter from Richmond says
The military authorities are some
what concerned as to what dis
position to make of the col
ored troops when the volunteers are
called out. There are two battalions,
one of three and one OF five companies
and all of them have volunteered for
service wherever needed. Even with
these companies recruited up to the
maximum they would not constitute q
regiment, and it is believed that any
regiment of white soldiers in the State
would object to take them in, The
white troops may be formed in two
regiments, or the four regiments can
easily recruit up to the maximum by
taking in the companies to be formed if
80 many are desired. 1t is possible that
the negro companies CT Virginia and
North Carolina may be united in reg
iment aDd assigned to the brigade Of
either State. Mejor J. B. Johnson is
the ranking officer Of the cOlored Vir-
GINA troops.
A dispatch from Richmond says: The
embarrassment of the military authori-
ties here over the assignment of the
c)lored troops may be solved by raising
q brigade composed exclusively of that
race. Col. Richard @. Marshall, Of
Portsmouth, left here tonight to sub
nit 10 the Secretary of War a PROPOSE
ton to this effect. He bears with him
letters fromGovernor Tyler and General
Lee commencing the plan and attest
ing to the gallantry of Colonel Mar
shall. General Lee also asserted that
if given division or corps he would be
glad to have the colored brigade with
him.
Colonel Marshall has been giving
this question of raising colored bri-
gade considerable attention for some
time past, and when he laid his plans
before the Governor yesterday they
were hailed with delight. Colonel
Marshall says that if authorized to do
so be can. within sixty days, Organize
a brigade of negroes which will prove
one of the strongest fighting machines
in the United States army" His idea
is to command the brigade himself and
have only white men as field officers.
In hiR consultation with Colonel Mar
shall, General Lee said that the negroes
would make the best medium for ser
vice in Cuba. They could, he said, bet
ter stand the hot climate than white
troops, and it was his opinion that the
colored men would prove excellent
soldiers.
