SEEKERS AFTER NoroR1ErY.

Many of the correspondents who
have spent the last two years in
Cuba have taken the attitude of ad-
visers in general to the Cuban in
surgents. Some of them have gone
further and have assumed the full
responsibility for the conduct of the
war on the part of the United States.
1t was inevitable that some OF these
adventures, gifted IN the matter of
impudence and courage, should come
to grief. Sylvester Scovel is the
first to be disciplined.
Scovel has always been more of an
adventurer than a correspondent.
He is a product of that yellow jour
nalism that cares less for news than
for sensational vaporing; graduate
in that school of journalism that hires
young women of good repute to seek
arrest by playing the dlsreputable,
and that counts notoriety more de-
sirable than fame. Scovel, naturally
an egotist, was spoiled by success
won by indomitable will and un-
shrinking impudence, until he be-
lieved himself to be of supreme i'm
portance to the universe, and most
particularly to the army and navy of
the United States. He was for a
time on the cruiser New York, but,
according to the account of one of
his friends, he acted as though he
were more important parsonage
than Admiral Sampson. Transferred
to the army in front of Santiago, he
conceived the notion that he was
necessarily of more importance than
General Shafter.
Consumed by a desire to write 81
myself raised the American flag over
the palace" he had arranged plan
which the guards would not permit
him to carry out. Thereupon he at
tempted to pull General Shafter
from his horse and slapped the gen.
eral face. Foiled IN his scheme to
burn incense to his own egotlsm, this
seeker after notoriety assaulted the
general commanding the victorious
army and was at once arrested. This
will probably suit his purpose, be-
cause it will cause him to be talked
about the world over. But so was
Guiteau.
Once before Scovel committed an
ofense that put him outside the list
of army correspondents. This time,
for the credit of journalism and the
credit of the army, he should be sent
home IN disgrace. The worst of the
matter is that his employers may
make merchandise of his discharge
and in this way encourage an eccen-
tricity that has been the unmaking of
many good newspaper man. :.
The people of this country are
tired beyond measure of the vapid
correspondent who is always telling
what he himself did and never of
what the army did. If General
Shafter could gag and muzzle all the
superficial egotists who make every
reference to o maneuver or a battle
the occasion of self praise, he would
confer favor second only to his
victory at Santiago.

TO ATTACK NEW YORK.
An Englishman's Idea of the Plans of
the Spanish.


San Francisco, April 22-An ex-Eng-
hsh army officer, now residing here,
mas just received a letter from a Span
lsh political agent in New York. He
writes that he procured some months
ago copies of the official plans of the
whole of New York harbor and sent
them to his government. These plans
are now in the possession of the ad-
miral in command of the Spanish fleet
at cape Verde Islands. The agent de-
clareS that Spain has withdrawn all her
good vessels from Cuban waters be-
cause she does not propose to make any
defense of Cuba, except by means OF
the forts
All the available Spanish naval
strength will be concentrated at Cape
Verde Islands, and the agent intimated
that the fleet, commanding 11S guns,
would be dispatched direct for New
York when it was seen that war was
certain. He declared transports loaded
with coal would be taken along, so
that, after the run across the ocean,
the vessels could be coaled one two
days out of New York. The Spanish
fleet will then anchor off Coney Island,
where it will not be exposed to any
dangerous fire, and lombard New York.
The agent ended his letter with the
prediction that this action will give
the United States all the war it will
care for in a generation, and he de-
clared that the programme was quite
feasible.

WHEAT-War news and advances at
Liverpool of 13s@31sd, the latter in May

this market. One sale of July wheat was
made at 90c and plenty of it changed
hands around S9Ac. May, which closed
yesterday at SLIP, sold at $1141A, but eased
off to $1.13. Heavy local spectators, how
ever, regarded the advance al Liverpool as
ocean freight rates had risen war news
and they argued that this market should
go lower in proportion as English markets
advanced Plenty of wheat was thrown
over the opening bulge. Outside or
derS were extremely scarce, but local pro-
fessionals sold enough to break the price
of July from around S9a4c to $3.50. half

DID YOU HEAR THE GUNS.
A Salute of Twenty-Five at the State
House-Celebration of Wars
Beginning.

AT 8 o'clock this afternoon the salute
to the national flag, 81 guns, was fired
at the state house. At the first shot
the flag was unfurled from the dome.
This was the announcement from the
state war department that hostilities
with Spain have been commenced; that
war actually began this morning by the
capture of the Buena Ventura by the
Nashville
1t was the original intention to fire
but one gun, signal that war has be-
gun. 1t was suggested to Adjutant
General Allen by a journal reporter
that Topeka and Kansas would not be
content with one solitary shot. There
was too much enthusiasm for that.
I'VE will announce the beginning of
the war by firing one gun. That is in
accordance with the regulations said
Mr.. Allen.
rs it violation of the regulations to
fire more than one gum"
We'll, presume so. 1t would at
least be foolishness,' said Mr.. Allen.
''Why not fire the national salute
one gun for each state ?''-waS the next
question.
Why, there is no call for such a
| proceeding said the adjutant general
1T would be ridiculous. The idea is a
foolish one. The war was commenced
by a very unimportant event. The cap
ture of that vessel amounts to nothing.
| Firing one gun is strictly military.
Under our regulations but one gun

| of his hand.
| provide when W. J. Bryan comes to
town." INQUIRED the reporter.
Er-er''-hesitated Mr.. Allen, as a
| flush spread over his face. '.Er-er' he
| calculated again as he swung around in
| his chair and turned away from his
| questioner. He finally managed to
say:
regulations on that point so far
| as 1 know
| Anyhow he concluded after think
ing moment, 1--WE don't propose to be
ridiculous
Afterward Mr.. Allen went to see
| Governor Leedy and the governor said
| "Oh, fire a lot of guns!'' and so a. lot
| of guns were fired and everybody feels
| better, including Adjutant General AL
| len.
The firing of the first gun was
| promptly announced by a special dOu-
| BILE flag bulletin on the State Journal
/ window (this was received with cheers)
! and the display of twenty additional
| flags, one in each upper window, maxi
| ing with the colors on the staff twenty
| one flags on the State journal building.
| When the Journal bulletins announced
| that the United States cruiser had cap

| rapidly Large and small flags, United

| mediately put out along Kansas avenue
| in business houses, appearing also in

FIRES ARE UP
On Schley's Squadron and He is
Ready to Move.

Fort Monroe, Va, April 22.-"On
waiting ORDERS is about all that can be
said of the flying squadron early today
The routine duties on board are gone
through with in the same manner as
any other day, the only difference no
ticeable that officers were not given
shore leave. Every officer was on board
last night and anticipated starting or
ders. The definite movement of the
Key West fleet created little excitement
as it had been anticipated.
What seemed chiefly to interest the
officers was, whether the Cape Verde
islands fleet of Spain had moved, it be-
ing the general impression that until it
does, this squadron will not make a
move. The stories relating to the de-
tachment of the Massachusetts are de-
MED, no order of her attachment to any
other fleet having been received. 1t
was more peaceful here this morning
than yesterday both as relates to activ
ity on the ships, weather and sea. On
shore there was a trif1e more excite
ment.
People sat on the dock string pieces,
and watched early for movements on
the boats. Every string of signal that
went up to the mast of the Brooklyn,
was interpreted to mean something
dire, until finally towards noon, it was
seen that all the ships were at target
practice and evidently not preparing to
move as yet.
Pilots are here ready to take out the
ships at a moments notice, fires are up
and engines coupled and start can be
made in an hour.
One of the Golfers for the fleet the
Saturn, came back from Norfolk yard
this morning with a full complement of
coal and left for the United States

SPANS PLANS
As Predicted by an Admiral of the
British Navy.

London, April 22.-AdmiraI Sir Geo
Elliot, K. c. B.,Iate in-chief
at Portsmouth and one of the most
distinguished of living British admiraIs,
has given the New York World cores
pendent the following signed statement
of his anticipations of the probable ma
val strategy of Spain:
4 think that the strategy of Spain
will be to allow the United States fleet
to attack the forts at Havana, if they
are so unwise; also to land troops on
the south side of the island, trusting to
yellow fever to fight them. Spain will
then defend her fortified places, but as
Havana, L understand, is short of pro-
visions, a blockade would soon distress
the garrison. ThereupOn the Spanish
fleet would come to relieve the blockade
and there the sea fight would be. That
is my prophecy

BAD FOR THE OREGON.
She May Be Attacked Without Any
Warming of Danger.

Washington, April 22--At the war
department there are many specula-
lions as to the destination of the Span
ish squadron. One suggestion is that
it is heading to cut off the fine battle
ship Oregon, now on its way from the
Pacific coast around to join Captain
SIMPSONS command There is also
some fear that the Oregon may be ta-
ken at an unfair advantage, without
knowledge of the existence of war, by
the Spanish torpedo boat destroyer
Temmeriere, which is now lying at
BuenOs Ayres.
Possibly with a view to avoiding a
conflict in the straits of Magellan
where she would be at a disadvantag e,
the Oregon has been ordered to go
around Cape Horn.

New York: Conservative observers see no

simply because the sanguine views held SO
tenaciously in Wall street with regard
to the averting of war with Spain have
at last been given up. The street may not
have been sentimentally prepared for act
ual hosti1ities, but it is according to all
testimony well prepared in financial
way. In the last week or ten days the
banks have been especially cautious in
their operations and have taken steps to
strengthen the collateral of all loans that
were at all suspected. London yesterday
was a persistent seller of American Securl-
ties, and selling orders also came to some
extent from the continent. 1t is reason
able to suppose that the securities market
will receive the benefit of some support,
as it is commonly believed the war will
be short and decisive. The establishment
of peace in Cuba would open the doors
for the exploitation of great amount of
Yankee capital and enterurise- One
result of the war will be the maintenance
of a naval force in the future, which Will
give an assurance against foreign agrees
sion. Another result that seems prob
able will be the crea ton of closer polit-
zeal relations between the United States
and Great Britain, which cannot fail to
carry with them marked commercial adj
vantages. When peace returns 1t Will
probably mark the beginning of long
era of political quiet and Industrial devel-
opment and activity.
