THE OREGON IN DANGER.
Feared That the Spanish Squadron Will
Head Off the Battle Ship.

Head Oh the Battle-Sh1p.
Washington, April 23.-It was sug-
gested at the navy department that it
is possible the Spanish squadron, which
sailed from Cape Verde islands today,
is heading to cut off the fine battle
ship Oregon, now on its way from the
Pacific coast to join Captain Sampson 8
command. There is also some fear
that the Oregon may be taken at an
unfair advantage, without knowledge
of the existence of war, by the Span
ish torpedo boat destroyer Temerief,
which is now at Buenos Ayres. Pos
sibly, with view of avoiding a con-
f1ict in the straits of Magellan, where
she would be at a disadvantage, the
Oregon has been ordered to go around
Cape Horn. The Oregon sailed from
Callao the 9th inst, since which time
nothing has been heard from her. 1t
is believed she is now nearing the por'
of Montevideo, Uruguay.
The formidable Spanish torpedo boat
is supposed to be somewhere in that
vicinity awaiting the arrival of the Or
egon, and some fear is expressed that
SIG may creep OH Her uHdWares anu,
consequently, considerable relief will
be felt when the arrival of the Oregon
at some South American port is re-
ported. 1t IS probable that when the
Oregon reaches Rio de Janeiro or
Bahia, she may be joined by the Bra
lillian cruiser Nictheroy, recently pur-
chased for the United States navy, and
the two vessels will come to the United
States topether

eve are prepared today to capture or
destroy any force that Spain could pos
sibly send against the Pacific coast" :"
said Rear Admiral Kirkland. "In the
first place, the Spanish government has
no vessels in Pacific waters nearer than
the Philippines. We have a greater
force than Spain, and can easily take
care of the opposing feet. The next
possibility lies in sending a feet
through the Straits of Magellan. Even
if Spain had the ships, they would be
practically useless after they got into
the Pacific, through the lack of coal.
eve have two monitors, the Monad-
mock and the Monterey, that are more
than match for any vessel in the
Spanish navy. Besides these two we
have the Bennington and -Mohican,
which are now en- route from the Ha
waiian islands. The Charleston will
be in commission by May l, and if 1t
were necessary we could have the
Yorktown and Philadelphia in fighting
trim by the 1st of June.
"What rely upon largely 70 com.
plete our coast defenses are the ten
vessels recently acquired. Another
valuable adjunct to our Pacific coast
defenses is the two torpedo-boats now
nearing completion at Portland and one
on the Sound. This number can be
increased materially if the necessity
presents, since each requires only 60
days for building"

FIRED ON THE FLEET.
MORO Castle Opened on the North At.

lantic Squadron.
On Board the Flagship New York,
off Havana, April 26.-During the
early morning, the Moro castle bat
teries again opened fire on the fleet,
but without the slightest effect. There
have been no casualties among our
forces up to this hour, and not single
shot has been fired against the batteries.
At 8 O'Clock this morning the De-
troit mdae a rich haul, capturing the
Spanish merchant steamer Catalina,
bound for Cadiz. She carried large
quantity of provisions, which she in
tended to land in Havana.
Ensign Christy, from the Detroit,
and four marines and six bluejackets
were put on board of her and she
steamed off for Key West.
The Wilmington and Porter, when
dawn broke, were both seen towing
prizes in the shape of small schooners.
The Wilmington's capture was laden
with charcoal, and the Porter's, the
Sophia, had rum and sugar aboard.
They We're both towed to Key West.
The torpedo-bo Porter, commanded
by Lieutenant Fremont, is doing great
work, and if she keeps on at this rate,
her crew will have no end of prize
money to divide.
About 9 O'Clock this morning, the
New York proceeded several miles
closer inshore. Not breath of wind
stirred; the sea and the heat was ter
rible.

Washington, April 25.-The volun-

to, reduces the time of enlistment from

authorizing the president to organize
independent troops was retained, but
limits the number to 5000. The bill
leaves it optional for regiment and COM
pany militia officers to receive commits

ceded from the amendment attaching

FIRST PRIZE CAPTURE
Nashville Takes Span:
iSh Steamer.
BROUGHT HER TO KEY WEST

Tho Buena Ventura the Unfortunate
Vessel-The Skipper Surprised, as He
Did Not Know That War Had Been
Declared-Prize Crew Put on Board.
Key West, April 25.-The United
States feet was about IL miles off Sand
key light this morning at o'clock
when the Spanish merchantmen Buena
Ventura was sighted bound north. The
gunboat Nashville ran her down and
put shot across her bows from the
4-inch gun on the port side aft, manned
by Lieutenant Dillingham;.
The Spaniards ignored the shot, but
another closer to her bows brought her
to. A prize crew, under Ensign Ma
gruder, was put aboard.
Captain Luzarraga, in command of
her, was astounded. He said he did
not know that war had been declared,
but when he was informed of the state
of affairs, he shrugged his shoulders
and accepted the situation philosoph-
ically.
The Nashville has taken on stores
and will return to the fleet, carrying
Ensign Magruder, who will be received
by Ensign Carleton, of the Snow. A
body of marines is pacing the deck of
the Spaniard, and her crew of % are
lounging about the decks in nonchalant
fashion. Not a man is in irons.
According to prize laws, Captain
Maynard will turn the prisoners of
war over to the United States district
attorney, who will decide the question
of their disposition.
The Buena Ventura is tramp steam
er of 1,155 tons, and halls from Bilboa,
Spain. She has a cargo of lum Der,
loaded at Pascagoula, Miss, and was
bound for Rotterdam.
The news of the capture of the Span
lard set the people of Key West frantic
with enthusiasm. All work was sus-
pended, and the docks were crowded
with people.
Commodore Lyons, of the Dolphin,
has delivered to United States District
Attorney Stripping the papers of the
Buena Ventura. He will libel the ship
in the United States admiralty court.

off Havana, April ~. - The early
morning hours today were taken up by
a vigorous chasing of moving lights.
The only vessels spoken were the Brit
ish schooner Iolanth-, of Windsor, N.
S. She was allowed to proceed. She
was just out of Matanzas. No shots
have been fired since yesterday morn
ing on either side. The Dolphin and
the yacht Eagle arrived from Key West
this morning. The Dolphin, carried
the officers and prize crews who had
been placed on the steamer Pedro and
the schooner Antonio. All were glad
to get back, although they said they
had had no trouble with their prizes.
The torpedo-boat Porter made dar-
ing trip into the shore under cover of
darkness last night, and Lieutenant
Fremont, her commander, landed with
small party and obtained valuable
information. The blockade continues
under beautiful weather conditions.

Satisfaction at the Departm ent.

Washington, April 25.-The report
that the gunboat Nashville had cap
tured Spanish merchant ship gained
rapid circulation throughout the navy
department shortly after noon today.
1t caused much excitement, aud was
eagerly discussed as an outward evil
dence of the actual existence of war.
Secretary Long, however, had not re-
ceived word of the capture, except
through newspaper sources. Notwith-
standing this, naval officers credited
the report and discussed it as though it
was an accepted fact. 1t was said that
a part of the crew had been placed on
board, and the captured vessel had
valuable cargo, including considerable
coal.
Among the officials, the report caused
much satisfaction, although it was said
the capture of a Spanish warship
would have been more acceptable.
There is said to be no question as to
the right Of taking Spanish merchant
ships at this time. Two of these ships
left Galveston within the last day or
so with considerable cargoes of cotton
on hoard. Another Spanish ship is
said to be en- route from Vera Cruz,
Mexico, with 100000 pesetas on
board, representing the subscription Of
Vera Cruz to the Spanish in Cuba.

Minister WoodfOrd Is Given His Pass
ports and Diplomatic Relations Be-
tween the United States and Spain
Are Declared to Be Severed.
Washington, April 23.-War between
the United States and Spain is fact,
though not officially declared so by
congress.
The stirring events of yesterday were
succeeded today with rapidity by others
of more Importance, eliminating in the
afternoon in orders for the departure of
the North Atlantic squadron for Ha-
vana. This practically is an act of
war, so that the war between this coun-
try and Spain may fairly be said to date
from today.
Two minutes after the opening of the
state department this morning, came
word from Minister Woodford that the
Spanish government, having antici-
pated and prevented his intentions to
present the presidents ultimatum, he
had asked for his passports. The ad
ministration, in public statement,
announced that it regarded the action
of the Spanish government as render
ing unnecessary further diplomatic ac-
tion on the part of the United States,
and further stated that it regarded the
course adopted by Spain as one placing
upon that country the responsibility
for the breach of friendly relations.
Mr.. Woodiord's telegram resulted in
the calling of special cabinet meeting
to arrange an outline for plan of cam
paign, or rather to determine how to
begin the execution of the plan of cam
paign already prepared by the strategic
boards of the army and navy depart
ments.

CONTRABAND OF WAR,
Character of Merchandise That Is Ii,
BILE to Seizure.

Character of Merchandise That Is LA
BILE to Seizure.
Inasmuch as there exists a great
amount of misapprehension, not only
among foreign countries, but also
among American shippers, as to the
character of merchandise that is con-
traband and liable to seizure during
the progress of war, the following un-
official but authentic statement has
been obtained from high official of
the government:
In determining, according to the law
of nations, whether merchandise is
contra band of war, it is classified:
1-Absoute contra band
2-Occasional or conditional CONTRA
band.
3-Goods not contraband.
The first class includes all goods of
an essentially warlike character.
The second class includes provisions,
naval stores, coal, horses, certain kinds
of machinery, certain forms of steel,
iron, ETC.. that are destined for the use
of the enemy. They are contraband or
not, according to occasion and condi-
tions as to their character, shipment
and destined use. Every such caes de-
pends upon its own facts.
The third class includes articles not
suited to warlike use, such as church
service and musical instruments ,Ehouse-
hold wares and goods of such like, and
including many that are purely of
mercantile character.

No Fears for the Oregon.

Washington, April 26.-The most
important development today in regard
to the movements of the various ships
of the navy was an official statement
issued by Secretary Long to the effect
that the department is fully aware of
the whereabouts of the battle-ship
Oregon and the gunboat Marietta, but
for prudent reasons positively declines
to say where the vessels are, whether
or not they have been ordered to return
to San Francisco, or, in fact, to make
any statement respecting them. further
than that it has no apprehension for
their safety.
1t is known that the department has
taken steps to have the commander of
the Oregon met by friends and warned
of the outbreak of hostilities and of the
presence of a Spanish torpedo gunboat
at Buenos Ayres in the path of the
wahsrip on her way to the North At
