UTAH'S TROOPERS.
VIII Furnish Two Batteries, 100 Cavalry
men and 80 Mounted Rifemen.

Salt Lake City, Utah, April &c.
Governor Wells has issued a procla-
nation calling for volunteers for
Utah's quota of the 1875, 900 called for
by the president The number of
men to be furnished by this state is
531, classified as follows: Two batter
les, 346; cavalry, 100; mounted rifle
men, IS. The riflemen are in addi-
ton to the number Utah is entitled to
under the presidents call, and with
other selected men will probably be
merged into a cowboy regiment to be
commanded by Assistant Secretary of
the Navy, Theodore Roosevelt, who
has resigned for that purpose.
The national guard is especially in
vited to enlist. and will be given pref
erence. Recruiting officers will be
at central points in the state
and troops will be rendezvoused at
Salt Lake where they will be mus
tered into the service of the United
States on May 5.
The reason Utah furnishes batteries |
to the exclusion of infantry is because |
ler guns are of the latest pattern and |
among the best in the United States
Utah furnishes one-seventh of the ar
illery under the call. The govern
nent will probably furnish four more
'uns, making two six-gun batteries.

an urgent request from Governor
Steunenberg, Senator Shoup called on

Senator Shoup that with only two
troops of cavalry, Idahos troops
would necessarily be merged with
those of other states, and her people
could not be heard from as they de-
sired to be, in the war.

change designated, and he also re-
quested that in forming his companies.

STARTLING SUGGESTION.
Fleet at Cape de Verde May Attack Our
Asiatic Squadron.

Fleet at Cape de Verde May Attack Our
Asiatic Squadron.
Washington, April 26.-The naval
officials have noticed with some dis
quietude the fact that the Spanish feet
at Cape de Verde, before leaving under
orders of the Portuguese government,
made heavy purchases of supplies there.
They were of a varied description, such
as medicine and miscellaneous goods,
for which in ordinary times the fleet
could as easily have waited until it
reached Spanish port. Therefore it
is suspected that the purchases show a
purpose on the part of the Spanish ad-
miral to start on long cruise. A rather
startling suggestion made in this con-
nection is that the Spanish fleet may
make directly for the Philippines, by
way of the Cape of Good Hope, to at
tack Commodore Deweys Asiatic
which it would far exceed in
strength. The Suez canal being closed,
under neutrality laws, to warships of
belligerents, there would be nothing to
do in this case but send some of Ad-
miral Sampson S ships on long, stern
chase after the Spanish fleet, or to in
'truct Admiral Dewey to repair to home
waters

Denver, Colo, April 26-The impress
sion here among army officials who
have discussed the fact that the call
has been made for cavalry in most of

be sent to take the place of the regu-
lars recently removed from Indian res
ervations and other remote places in
the mountain states.

of Mr.. Sherman was not caused by any
misunderstanding between himself and

health and advanced age of the veteran
statesman. The duties of the office
had become too exacting, and Mr.
Sherman deemed it best to retire.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
Recommending Declaration OF War
Against Spain.


Washington, April 25.-The presiden
today sent congress the following mes
sage, recommending declaration o
war against Spain:
To the Senate and House of Repre
sentatiyes of the United States oil
America:
transmit to the congress for its con-
sideration and action, copies Of cores
pondence recently had with the gov
eminent of Spain, showing the action
taken under the joint resolution ap
proved April 20, 1898. demanding that
the government OF Spain relinquish it's
authority and government in the island
of Cuba and to withdraw its land and
naval forces from Cuba and Cuban
waters
Upon communicating to the Spanish
minister in Washington the demand,
the minister asked for his passports
and withdrew. The United States min
lister at Madrid was in turn notified by
the Spanish minister for foreign affairs
that the withdrawal of the Spanish
representative to the United States had
terminated diplomatic relations.
The position of Spain being thus
made known, and the demands of the |
United States being denied, with
rupture in the intercourse
with Spain, have been constrained in
the exercise of power and authority
conferred upon me, to proclaim, under
late of April %, 1898, blockade of
certain ports of the north coast of
cuba, lying between Cardenas and
Bahia Honda, and of the ports of Glen
ugos on the south coast of Cuba; and
urther, in exercise of my constitutional
powers and using the authority con-
erred upon me by the act of congress
o issue my proclamation calling for
olunteers in order to carry into effect
he said resolution.
In view of the measures so taken,
nd with n view to the adoption of
UGH other measures as may be neces- |
ary to enable me to carry out the ex-
ressed will of the congress of the 4
nited States in the premises, l now i
commend to your honorable body the 4
ioption of joint resolution declar- t
Ig that state of war exists between L
lie United States of America and the O
Ingdom of Spain, and | urge speedy n
,tion thereon, to the end that the c.
'hnition of the international status of Il
e United States as belligerent h
'wer may be made known, and the
sertion of all it's rights and the main Vi
nance of all its duties in the conduct Ell
a public war may be assured. st
