ONE MORE APPEAL TO EUROPE
Spain Sends Out Another Note to the Great
Powers.
How Awfuliy Wicked the Amer
leans Are.

Madrid. April 20. $3.50 a.m.--Th, Span
ish government today sent a circular
to the powers. experimenting its circu-
lar of April 16, and expressing regret
az the hard necessity of being COM
PEELED to appeal to force in order to re-
pei the scandalous aggression of the
United States and defend the national
dignity and the historic integrity of
the fatherland."
Continuing. the circular says:
History presents very few instances
wherein reason is so evident on one
part and the other.
Spain has on her side right, cor
rect procedure and prudence, while the
United States has only disloyalty and
the impulse of unbridled ambitions"
After u reference to the "eXecrable
conduct" OF General Fitzhugh Lee, the
note contains the resolutions of Con-
gress, undermining the last words. "As
Intended to deceive the Cubaus.'
1t is then predicted that the island
of Cuba will not be declared pacified
until it is ready for annexation.
Further on, the note gives the details
of the rupture Of the negotiations be-
tween Spain and the United states, con-
Guiding with the following declaration:
THE Spanish people await the attack
with tranquil serenity, decided to sell
their lives dear and to defend energetic
ally their right to remain in America
confident that In this work they will
have the assistance of Cubans, who are
Spaniards like themselves"

British Colones-Germany Does Not
Neutrality.

Washington, April 26.-The state de-
partment has conveyed notice to all
the powers and nations with which the
United States holds friendly relations
of the declaration of war yesterday by
the government OF the United States.
This is necessary formallty in order
to set in motion the neutrality laws in
many countries and to stop claims for
damages on the part of the neutrals
for vessels detained and turned back
at blockades without due notice. The
instructions which were sent TO all the
United States legations abroad direct
ed attention to the fact that the war
has existed since April 81. when the
Spanish government broke off diplo-
matte relations in order to avoid ac-
cepting the ultlmatum at the hands of
Minister Woodford.
The text of the instructions is as fol-
lows:
Department of State, April 20. 1898.
"A joint resolution Of Congress, APP
proved April 20, directed Intervention
for the pacification and independence
of the island of Cuba. The Spanish
government on April 81. informed our

NAVAL MOVEMENTS,
Spain Has Not Made Any Yet--Tho United
States Is Quite Active.

New York, April 26.-In spite OF per-
sistent rumors. there has been no i'm
portant movement Of Spanish naval
vessels since the beginning of the war.
The first squadron remains at st. Vim
cent, Cape Verde islands; the second
squadron If believed to be still at Cadiz,
and the torpedo boat Temerario has not
left the River Plata.
The United states North Atlantic
squadron continues to blockade Cuba,
and viii probably he reinforced by the
dynamite cruiser Vesuvlus. which left
Newport yesterday. The flying squad
ron remains at Hampton Roads, watch
Ing the Spanish fleet at st. Vincent. The
cruisers Minneapolis and Columbia, of
the flying squadron. reached New Eng
land yesterday. The Columbia arrived
at Newport and the Minneapolis II off
the Massachusetts coast These fast
cruisers are supposed to be waiting to
meet the new cruiser Topeka and the
auxiliary cruiser Paris now en- route
from New England to New York. The
cruiser New Orleans has finished coal
ing at the Brooklyn navy yard. and is
expected to sail today to Join the Min
neapolis and Columbia off the New
England coast. The San Francisco Is
nearly ready for sea, and will sail to-
morrow or Thursday probably In the
path of the New orleans.
The next movement of the flying
squadron, now split Into two sections,
viii depend upon that OF the Spanish
Cape Verde fotilla, which will be COM
PEELED to leave St Vincent in accord
ance with the neutrality law.
The Asiatic squadron, driven from
Hongkong by the British neutrality
proclamation. is at Mrs bay, China,
and is believed to be about to attack
Manila.
The battleshlp Oregon and the gun
boat Marietta. coming north along the
South American coast, are In no danger
whatever
II is reported that SPANS has leased
a submarine vessel, which will be used
as a mine destroyer. The vessel. 1t Is
said. is OF the type invented by Count
Pozzo and built In France. II is also
reported that the vessel will be sent
TO American waters.

insurgents in the island will probably
give him assistance by contributing their
land operations.
Altogether, naval experts say that
Commodore Dewey's task Ia the easiest
of those which have been assigned to
any flag officer.
Upon but one point are the officials
uneasy. This relates to the continu-
ance Of cable communication between
Commodore Dewey and the United
States. There is a Spanish cable line
connecting Hongkong and the Philip
pines, and 1t may be found necessary to
| cut the cable in order to prevent the
Spanish forces from calling their gov
1 ernment the condition OF affairs In the
| island.
1t is appreciated by the authorities
| that, as Spain can send no reinforce
| ments to the East, 1t will do the
| Spaniards very little good to know
what is going on in the far east, but
| for prudential reasons IL is believed
that Commodore Dewey should hasten
| TO get the cable under his control as
rapidly rs possible.
1t is supposed at the department that
| he has made all necessary preparations
to cut the cable and to keep possession
| of the end connecting him with Hong
kong. and with an operator on board
his ship he will be able to communicate
| with the department as often us shall
| be necessary.

day from Manila. dated Saturday last.

this resolution equivalent to declara-
ton of war and that 1t had accordingly
withdrawn its minister from Washing
ton and terminated all diplomatic rela-
lions.
Congress has therefore, by an act
approved today, declared that state
of war exists between the two coun-
tries since and including April 81. You

you are accredited that Its neutrality

Cargo.

Key West, Fla, April 2G.-The U. S.
gunboat Newport, Captain b. F. Tilley,
has brought in the Spanish sloop Pa
quote and the Spanish schooner
Pireno, Cuban coasting vessels, which
she captured off Havana this morning.
Key West, April &c, 11;l5 "A. m.-The
big Spanish steamship Panama, of

number OF Spanish refugees on board

army, Sas captured last evening about
twenty miles from Havana, by the lit

Mangrove mounts two six Founders
and four 3s revolvers.
She is commanded by Lieut.. Com
mander w. II. Everett and has a crew
OF thirteen men. The Panama is of
about $500 tons and very valuable
prize.
When the Mangrove sighted the
Spaniard she ran up to her and fired
gun across her bow. The liner did
not take the hint and a second shot
was fired. after which the Panama
slowed down a little. A third shot was
fired across the bows of the Panama
at n hundred yards. and the officer on
the deck of the Spanish vessel was
hailed and notified that II he did not
heave to a shot would be sent through
his vessel. This notification caused
the Panama to be brought to.
Ensign Dayton boarded the Spanish
steamer and took possession of her.
The battleship Indiana then steamed
up and Commander Everett notified
Cap In Taylor of the Indiana that he
had captured the Panama and bor-
rowed prize crew from the battleship

CAPTAIN silva ENGAGED.
Famous Cuban Pilot Now at Work for the
Americans.

Miami, Fla, April 2s.-Captain
Charles Silva. who. since the beginning
of the Cuban war has been employed
by the junta In plotting filibustering

for pilot duty to Admiral Sampson.
1t Is known that Admiral Sampson
has with him three other Cuban pilots,
who have been engaged In the work of
landing expeditions. They are Juan
Santes, Ramon Hernandez and the lat
ter's brother, whose first name no one
seems to know. They were all three
placed at Admiral SIMPSONS service by
the junta week ago.
The employment of Silva suggests an
early landing in Cuba.

that Silva took the Dauntless, Laurado,

II do not think that Admiral Samp-
