Will Take Time and Money

From the Lewiston Journal.
s. We shall win; but let us not expect that
all will go well. Time will be required: life
and resources of all kinds must be sacri-
feed. If we could get at the Spanish fleet
and sink it, the war would be brief. But
the Spanish fleet is not anxious for deci-
sive combat On the part of Spain the war
will be like the war on the battleship Maine
inspired by cunning and cruelty, rather
than by science and foresight. 1t takes
not only naves and numbers, but genius
afield and afloat to win.

JustifabIe War

From the Providence Journal.
Burke once gave definition of justifiable
war, which still remains unimpeached. 1t
was: 1.-THE blood of men is we'll shed when
1t is shed to redeem the blood of men, The
rest is vanity the rest is crime" Tested by
that definition, the war we are entering
upon is not open to any question as it its
justifiability.

The gallant cavalrymen who have been

yesterday by news received direct from
headquarters.

Wheeler at Washington stated that if a
regiment of 1000 men was raised that the
president was almost certain to call it into
service.
Both Captain Morson and Lieutenant Nc
Crossin are jubilant over the prospects and
are confident that the required number will
be easily secured, over six hundred having
volunteered in this city alone.
The troops at Montgomery will also vol
unteer and it is thought that detachments
will be sent from Selma, Marion, Gadsden.

Capt. Morson and Lieutenant McCrossin
will go to Montgomery this morning to
consult with the governor and will no doubt
be able to give out something more definite
on their return.

Santiago de Cuba April q, via Steamer
Remus, filed at Port Antonio, Jamaica,
April 2S.-Don Arsenso Linares Pombo,
Commandante-General of this division of
Cuba, proclaimed four days ago that every
man between Is and so years of age must
enroll that night with the volunteers for
military services under penalty of arrest
and military trial and death.
Senior Chuchuco Manduley, magistrate of
the court of Santiago, as is known, was an
intense Spanish sympathizer and one of the
most prominent men in the city, left for
the camp of the Cuban brigadier-general
Cavalo He was accompanied by several
kinsmen, and his going produced a vivid
impression. The exodus from the city has
continued by night, the Spaniards making
no opposition, excepting that a few men
have been arrested as examples. Five
thousand persons have left the country
since the proclamation, four-fifths being
women and children.
The Spanish soldiery now assume a bully
ing attitude, and they intend to kill every
Cuban man and outrage every Cuban wo-
man left In the city when the blockade be-
gins. When the American fleet appears
as it is daily expected to do, all the nom
combatants will be expelled.

This was the cablegram that startled Sir

at breakfast this morning. The governor
general sent a message to the commander
of the cruiser Pallas, that was lying in the
harbor of San Antonio, and thirty minutes
later she was steaming out of the harbor
headed for Cuba. The cause of Consul

GUNB0ATS TRYING

The Dauntless dispatch boat of the Asso-

afternoon after fifty-four hours cruise
of 100 miles along the northern coast of
Cuba.
There are two small Spanish gunboats
which are evidently trying to escape from
Cuban waters. Capt. Evans, of the Iowa,
told the correspondent that he had seen
them a long distance off, but they were
very shy and could not be got near enough
to be shot at, and afterwards ran back
into port. 1t will be next to impossible
for them to escape the vigilance of the
squadron now. n ~

Washington, April 30.-Chief Constructor
Hichborn said today that when, the depart
ment has placed the contracts for the YES

preparation bill the government would have
under construction at one time greater
number of vessels than it has ever had
building since the war and a greater tom
mage in the aggregate than at any time
during the civil conflict. There will be no
less than thirty-six vessels altogether thus
placed under constructions; three battle
ships, sixteen torpedo boat destroyers,
twelve torpedo boats, four coast defense
monitors and one gunboat on the lakes.
The Portuguese minister, Viscount DeSan-
to Thyso, called at the state department
today and gave official notice of PortugaPs
neutrality.
Afterward the viscount expressed regret
at the published reports attributing delay
to Portugal and a disposition to favor
Spain as against the United States
Reports UnWarranted
The minister says that such reports are
unwarranted and that an official dispatch
he received from Lisbon last night shows
the authorities at Lisbon acted with
promptness. His dispatch from Lisbon
stated LnaL Iue wal VI lhO
ent powers would not be allowed to make
more than a brief stay in the ports of
Portugal
The Chinese minister, Mr.. WI Ting Fan,
called at the state department today and
had talk with officials concerning the
situation.
He did not bring notice of China's nell
trality nor has he received word thus far
from his government that China will de-
clare for neutrality. The authorities here
would not be displeased If China withheld
the decree altogether, such course
might be of distinct advantage to the
United States in case Commodore Dewey $
fleet failed to effect landing at the Phil
ippines and is obliged to seek some open
port. With American fleet in Asiatlc
waters the situation becomes hazardous I'M
less belligerent port is captured, or neu-
trail port remains open. Up to today all
countries occupying eastern Asatic terri
tory had declared neutrality except China
alone. The notice of Korea. was given two

Man the port battery" was the order.
AT few minutes past o o'clock the 4-ineh
guns in the after port battery sent q shot
flying over the water into Cuban soil, rails
ing a little cloud of dust about 100 yards
in front of the white building and just
above where the Spanish cavalry stood.
Before the hills, growing dim in the even
ing mist, had ceased echoing and reverbe-
rting from the first report the other 4-inch
gun in the after battery had landed its
projectile. A few more shots from this
battery were fired, but the ground was
evidently damp, no dust arose and it was
hard to tell where the shells fell. They
were fired at S,4OO yards range. The Span
iards were not heard from after the first
shot.
Another Lesson Taught
The New York then turnd her bow east

over for the evening.

A moment or so later Captain Chadwick
saw the Spanish cavalry, then mounted,
ascending a hillside, and he personally
trained a 4-inch gun and planted two shots,
the second one Pumping right among the
Spaniards, who scattered in all directions.
The New York then steamed ahead to-
wards Moro Castle, and the band of the
flagship continued its musical programme.
Most of the crew were deck watching
this little lesson given to the Spaniards,
but there was no excitement The trip
which ended in the target practice at Ca
banas commenced about noon, when the
flagship, with the Ericsson and Porter,
started westward. The admiral was anX-

people thought she looked.
When out of range of the Santa Clara

ceeded westward, steamng about TWO miles
distant from the shore.
