CATSKILL SAILS,

Philadelphia, April a. The monitor
Catsklll, manned by the Massachusetts,
naval reserves, left League Island yard
for Boston late last night in tow of the
tug Armgus. She passed out the Della
ware capss this morning and with good
weather should reach Boston by Wednes-
day. The Catskill is ready to fight should
the occasion require. her guns being in
good condition and the magazines filled
with ammunition. She will be used in
Boston as harbor defense boat.A
The monitor Lehigh, also manned by
the Massachusetts, naval reserves will
likewise go to Boston and is expected to
leave League Island this week. Consider
able friction has arisen over the question
of the enlistment of this naval reserves
into the regular service. When the Mas
sachusetts reserves on the Catskill were
lined up and Assistant Secretary Roose-
velt's letter inviting them to enlist for
one year was read them the proposition
did not meet with an enthusiastic re-
Spouse. Various objections were raised
and when the roll was called it was found
that three or four had refused, dozen
had signitied their willingness for imme-
date enlistment, and the rest had agreed
to volunteer after they had arrived in

SILVER QUESTION CROPS OUT.
Senators Will Fight Bond Part of Revenue
Bill.

Washington, April 24.-It is the ex-
pectation in the Senate that the week
will begin With the receipt of message
from the President, asking that Congress
shall make formal declaration of war
and that there will be a quick response
to the request.
The Senate will resume consideration of
the naval appropriation bill at the earliest
moment. The only disputed point undis-
posed OF in connection with the naval bill
is the provision in regard to the price of
armor. 1t is not believed that the war
revenue bill will receive consideration
from the Senate this week owing to the
that it will meet with
sufficient opposition in the finance COM
mittee to delay it there for some time.
The Democrats will seek to eliminate the
bond feature of the bill and they may at
tempt to incorporate provision for an
income tax when the bill reaches the
COMMITTEES and a stubborn contest is
promised both in the committee and in
the Senate. Whether the bill is amended
in the committee or reported as it comes
from the House, the indications ara quite
positive that it will be made the basis of
a prolonged discussion of the finances.

EXPECTS INSURGENTS no DO
FIGHTING.

Washington, April 24.-Secretary Sher-
man said today that it was his expecta-
ton that for the present and the imme-
date future the insurgent army would
do the greater part of the fighting in
Cuba He added the statenen mt that there
was no intention OF taking the militia
men and raw recruits into Cuba until
thoroughly Injured to the hardships of ac-
tual military life and that probably the
regulars also would be held in this coun-
try until later in the season.
The secretary expressed the opinion the
Admiral Sampson's fleet would take the
first opportunity to form junction with
General Gomez's army and that there
would be henceforth perfect cooperation
between these two organizations in con-
Quoting the war against the common
enemy.
"The insurgents are the best for this
service for the present. said he, ''and
they can be trusted to do Jealous work
when we'll armed and we'll clothed"
he said it was his understanding
that the government would furnish the
arms and munitions of war to fit out sew
eral regiments of the insurgents in good
shape and put the entire insurgent army
in good lighting trim. He did not discuss
the reports that he would resign from the
cabinet shortly ~

Tremendous" Enthusiasm For SDain
Reported in Manila.

Madrid, April "a, 7.45 p. m.-Thers
were slight demonstrations early this
morning and again this evening, but they
have been dispersed by Governor
Aguilera. The one subject Of converse
ton throughout the day has has been the
capture of the Buena Ventura prior to
formal declaration of hostilities or the
ultimatum. The papers describe 1t as
an act of piracy.
-Manysrumors are afoat as to captures on
both sides. The papers warn the popu
lace not to be elated or depressed by such
statements, insisting that many Of them
bling purposes. The attitude of the citi-
zens of Madrid today is irreproachable.
Several American correspondents left by
the Sud express.
Probably the fact that the cabinet meet
ing was held in the morning instead of
the afternoon as had been arranged means
prompt action, but nothing has been di-
vuleed to the public.
Advices have been received from
Manila, Philippine islands to the effect
that when news was received here of the
sailing of the American squadron from
Hong Kong an imposing popular demon-
S tration took place all classes Offering
their property and lives in defense of the
country. The enthusiasm is described as
tremendous.
Rumors are being circulated that the
Philippine filibusterers are cooperating
with the American squadron, but there
is no official confirmation of them.

SHERMAN WILL REMAIN AWHILE.

Washington. April 24.-While there is
every reason to believe that Secretary
Sherman contemplates a retirement from
the cabinet at no very distant date the
indications now are that the change will
not take place Immediately. He declined
to discuss the question today indicating
that there was more in the newspapers
concerning his intentions than was justi-
fed by the facts.
There is no doubt, however, that the
President considers the secretary's retire
ment as among the probabilities. He
discussed the contingency with some of
his callers today and it is under stood that
Senator Davis was asked whether in case
there should be a vacancy in the secre-
taryship of state he would favorably con-
slider an invitation to I'LL it and that the
senator replied in the negative. 1t is
understood that the Minnesota senator's
reason for taking this position is the fact
that he prefers his position in the Senate
and considering himself reasonably sure
of reelection has decided to remain
where he is,

HAVANA GUNNERY.
MORO Castle Guns Opened Fire But Did
No Damage.

Key West, Fla, April "a, $50 p. H.
delayed in transmission The first shot
from Spain was fired last night, wher
MORO opened its batteries on the United
States fleet. This news was brought here
late this afternoon by the torpedo boat
Ericsson which, left the feet at ten O'Clock
this morning and reached here at four
O'Clock this afternoon. Captain Usher of
the Ericsson says his boat was ordered out
early last night on scout duty. The fleet
was lying about eight miles off Havana.
Lights were out and all hands were ready
for action. The little craft scudded
swiftly towards the enemy and brought
up almost under Morro's guns, being en-.
abled to reach such cluse point because,
Tor the first time in years, Morro's light
WIS not then burning.
At IL p. M, the Spanish artillery roared
out It's first welcome to the American
fleet. The firing was done more in a
shot found billet and the American feet
disdaining Spain's wretched gunnery
maintained dignified silencs. Before the
nrlng began newspaper despatch boat,
which had lost its bearings in the cloudy
night, got within three miles of Moro
Castle, and before she knew her where
abouts, the boat found Moro firing on
her. She was saved by the unskilled
craftsmanship of the Havana gunners,
getting away unframed and eventually
bringing up with the fleet. Havana had
not been mbarded up to tho time the
Ericsson left. The squadron lay spread
out in q line about eight miles long,
maintaining the blockade. t
According to proclamation, the ships
OF neutral powers are allowed to pass in
and out.
There were rumors afoat here that a
large Spanish mail steamer, thought to
DO the Alfonzo XIII. had been captured
by the fleet, but the report turned out to
BIZ false
A third capture was made this morning,
however, when the Ericsson caught a
little Spanish two masted fishing schoon-
er, carrying crew of five men. The tor
pedo boat had no prize crew to put aboard

There was strong wind blowing and
a heavy sea running all the way from
Havana to Key West but the Dauntless
plowed through the water with her tow,
which had her rails under half the time,
with great volumes of spray dashing over
the sailors and marines from the New
York, who sat on top of the schooner's
cargo each man ready with his rifle to
prevent any attempt that might be made
by the sohooners crew to cut loose from

BUSY AT DEPARTMENT.

Washington, April 24.-Snnday found
many of the officials of the War and Navy
departments at their desks dispatching a
mass of accumulated business. There
were numerous details to be attended to,
some OF very great Importance, but in
keeping with their policy and especially
in the Navy Department., the officials re-.
fused to make public much that is OF
great interest at this time. Neither Secre-
taries Long nor Alger were at their re-
spective departments today, but their
places were filed by Assistant Secretaries
Roosevelt and Meikeljohn, respectively.
MIR. Roosevelt came down to dispose Of a
lot OF mail requiring prompt attention,
and Mr.. Meikeljohn was consulted re-
gard1ng various details of administration
concerning the new volunteer army bill.

read with interest the story Of additional
captures Of prize vessels by the ships of
Admiral Simpsons feet. These were
promptly reported to Secretary Long,
Judge Advocate General Lemley has been
engaged in looking up the law on the
matter of prize courts and is prepared to
give any assistance and advice that may
be asked of the Navy Department in dis.
posing OF the vessels taken.
The department. heard today of the safe
arrival OF the st. Louis and New York at
New York today. This is source of
satisfaction to the officials who, notwith-
standing the fact that these ships are very
heet, had apprehension that through q re-
mote possibility they might have en-

been heard from the Paris, they hope she
