GOVERN OR WOLCOTT'S PROCLA-
NATION.

Boston, April 25.-After meeting
with his council of officers at the state
house this afternoon, Governor Wolcott
Issued the following statement:
''ln view of the possibility that an i'm
portant theatre of war may be on or near
the New England coast and that q nun.
Der of troops substantially equal to the
present militia force of the common
wealth will be necessary for the coast de-
tense in Massachusetts,, | am advised / y
the council of officers to make public an
nouncement of my opinion that it would
be detrimental to the efficiency of the ser
vice to encourage or permit the depletion
or disintergation of misrepresentation
by wholesale enlistment Of officers OF
commands In the service of the United
States.
I'll, as is probable, an additional mum
Der of volunteers is called for beyond the
present force of the militia, this number
should, in my judgment, be made up in
large measure by new enlistment of pa
triotic citizens, not at present connected
with organizations, although opportu-
mites should also be given to individual
members of the militia to volunteer sub
iects to Iroper c0nsid Grafton of thiswel-
fare to the state. Any member of the
militia desiring SO to volunteer should
make application for discharge to his
commanding officer and await favorable
action thereon.
ellis place in the militia should be
filled by enlistment. Tbs defense of the
coast line of this cor plonwealth is
necessary and honora service. which
should be Loyalty Pc. med by all on
whom the duty devolves and should not
be made secondary to any service else.
where, however patriotic the motives
which might influence such action, un-
less in obedience to definite orders from
Washington.
1.-The commonwealth will respond
promptly and enthusiastically to any call
Tor volunteers which may be made and
believes that in retaining the efficiency
of it's military organizations for coast
defense she is acting in accordance with
the wishes and purposes of the national
government.

MORE SPANISH MARKsMANsHIp

MORE SPANISH CRAFTSMANSHIP
On board the Associated Press Despstch
Boat Dauntless, of the Island of Cuba
via Key West, April %, 7.42 a. N. The
United States torpedo boat Foote, Lieut.
". ID. Rodgers. commanding. has the
honor of having been the target for the
first shots fired by the Spaniards at the
American flag, during the war just com.
menced.
The firing occurred between and G
O'Clock on Saturday evening, while the
torpedo boat was taking soundings in the
harbor Of Matanzas She was within two
or three hundred yards of the shore.
Suddenly Spanish masked battery on
the east side of the harbor and not very
far distant from the Foote fired three
shots at the torpedo boat.
They all went wide of the mark and
the Foote returned leisureIy to the Gin
c1nnati, where she reported the results
OF her soundings and then announced
that she had been fred upon.
The Cincinnati was anxious to steam in
instantly and reduce the Spanish batter
!es, but she was not permitted to do SO.
NO captures are reported by the feet off
Matanzas
1t IS alleged that two Spanish gunboats
We're seen in shore, but the report could
not be verified.
THE AUDAZ GOES HOME.
Queenstown, April 25.-There is little
Audaz, which in compliance with fbe
orders OF the British admiral left this
port this morning at 5. As O'Clock will
go to Ferrol or Cadiz from here as a con
siderable quantity of her war eauinments
have still to be placed on board of her
active service. -'A
Her sister boat, the Osado, which toxved
her here from Waterford, in which mort
they put in after the Audaz was dan
aged, want to Ferrol from Queenstown
to be fitted with the equipments not
furnished by their English builders. '''
In view of the outbreak of nostilitias
the dock company at Cork which has
been repairing the torpedo boat, has
rushed work night ard day on the small
craft
Since Friday, her Spanish crew has
been in high spirits, continually waving
bunting and handerchiefs or otherwise
expressing satisfaction at the prospect
OF taking part in the naval movements of
Spain.
SPAIN LOST A POINT.
Madrid, April s5.-1 a. m.-The news
papers of this city and the provinces are
nlled with rumors of captures made by
she war vessels of Spain or the United
states, and with reports of the move
ments Of the American warships com
b1ned with patriotic utterances from all
quarters of the kingdom. A new point
mas also been raised relative to the nom
delivery of the ultimatum of the United
states. The view now taken is that it's
non-dellyery leaves the United States un-
pleoged in regard to the reservations with
regard to Cuban independence. Thus. it
IS pointed out, while her pride is graft
nsa, Spain has lost diplomatic point.
