The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1898-04-24


At the navy department it has not yet
been determined what disposition to
make of the seized Spanish ship, the
Buena Ventura, not has it been decided
TO order her before a. prize court.
1t is not believed that any official no.
tice has been received by the department
concerning the blockading squadron. al
though rigid adhesion to the rule of not
giving any news as to the movements Of
ships might have prevented knowledge
Of any dispatch leaking out.
Word came during the day that in the
shape of a cable from Martinique that
the Spanish ships Alicante and Mont
zerrat had sailed today from St Pierre
for some Cuban port, having on board
800 men, it is likely that this informA,
ton will be speedily communicated to
Captain Sampson.
STATE DEPARTMENT. QUIET.
There was little of interest in the state
department today concerning the war,
save the formal issue there OF the presi-
dents proclamation calling for troops.
The message recommending a declara-
ton of war, which is to go to congress
next Monday unless there is a change of
plans, has been under preparation dur
ing the day, and that, in connection with
the neutrality laws, was about all that
the department had in hand connected
with the war.

While it is the purpose of the war de-

the mouth Of Eastern bay what APP
peared to be large whale, apparent
ly so feet long, was observed. The
monster threw water to great height,
and the rumbling noise caused con-
sternation among the oystermen,
some of whom mistook the whale for
a submarine torpedo boat. Capt
Geo. Ward, of the pungy Lille May,
said he had been told that a whale
was recently seen in Eastern bay. II
is thought to be the small whale re-
ported in York river several weeks
ago.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Thinks Spain's Sense of Justice VIII
Dictate a Course of Action.
Washington, March 2S-The presi-
dent today sent the following message
to congress:
To the congress of the United States:
For some time prior to the visit of the
Maine to Havana harbor our consular
representatives pointed out the adj
vantages to flow from the visit of ma
tional ships to the Cuban waters in
accustoming the people to the pres
ence of our flag as the symbol of good
will and of our ships in the fulillment
of the mission of protection to Ameri-
can interests, even though no immedi-
ate need therefor might exist
Accordingly on the gath of January
last, after conference with the Spanish
minister, in which the renewal of visits
of our war vessels to Spanish waters
was discussed and accepted, the PENN
vana were advised of the purpose of
this government to resume friendly ma
val visits at Cuban ports, and that in
that view the Maine would forthwith
call at the port of Havana. This an
nouncement was received by the Span
the friendly character Of the visit of
the Maine, and with notification of the
intention to return the courtesy by
sending Spanish ships to the principal
ports Of the United States. Meanwhile
the Maine entered the port of Havana
on the 25th of January, her arrival be-
ing marked with no special incident
besides the exchange Of customary sa-
lutes and ceremonial visits.
The Maine continued in the harbor
of Havana during the three weeks fol-
lowing her arrival No appreciable ex-
element attended her stay; on the
contrary, a telling of relief and con-
fidence followed the resumption of the
long interrupted friendly intercourse.
SO noticeable was this immediate eff
feet of her visit that the consul gen
eral strongly urged that the presence
OF our ships in Cuban waters should
be kept up by retaining the Maine az
Havana, or in the event Of her recall
by sending another vessel there to take
her place.
At 40 minutes past in the evening
Of the 18th Of February the Maine was
destroyed by an explosion. by which
the entire forward part Of the ship
was utterly wrecked. In this catas-
trophe two officers and 264 Of her crew
Yerished, those who We're not killed out
