The Spanish Fleet Has Not Left the
Cape Verde Islands.


LONDON, April Pa dispatch to the
Daily Mail from st. Vincent, Cape Verde
islands. dated Monday, says: Visiting the
Spanish fleet has been forbidden, and no
maneuvering, target practice or exercising
whatever is proceeding. All the ships have
been painted black since they arrived here.
No shore leave is granted. The cruisers, in
cluding the Vizcaya and the Almirante
Oquendo, have been ali day coaling from
the Ciudad de Cadix. All the stores, medi-
cines and supplies il st. Vincent have been
purchased to supply the squadron, and even
passing vessels are laid under contribution.
The bay is busy with launches and boats
carrying stores and the port is brilliantly
Illuminated all night with electric search
lights and signals.
Two Portuguese men-of-war are here
and Governor General De Lacerde is stay
ing until the Spaniards depart. The Portu-
guese consider the Spanish fleet very strong
and believe that Spain win be victorious at
the commencement but that Americas
money will eventually triumph
A special dispatch from st. Vincent, Cape
Verde, dated to-day. Monday 7:25 q. M,

ish fleet sails to-day 1t Is exceedingly for

the majority in that body were anxious to
avoid. The bill, as 1t came fron7, the Senate,
was identical with the House Jbill. 1t re-
ceived the signature of Speaker Reed and
Vice President Hobart by o'clock in the
afternoon and was at once dispatched to the
White House for the Presidents approval.
No neutral nation can now harbor Spanish
or American war ships for more than twen-
ty-four hours. Like tranps under the stern
orders Of the police. they must ever keep
on the move. No neutral nation can in the
future plead as Portugal is said to have
done when asked to order the Spanish fleet
away from the Cape Verde isles, that she
does not know that state Of war exists
between Spain and the United States.
The retroactive provision in the declara-
ton of war covers the prizes which our navy
has captured during the last few davs.
yet there is high authority for the state
ment that the President intends to release
these prizes and TO promulgate a general
order governing seizures iii the Immediate
future The order which Spain has issues
giving American ships in Spantsh norts
thirty days in which to Set swav has
awakened in the President a spirit Of gem
erous emulation. If he can prevent If there
will be no hitting belo,g the helt IN the
early stages OF this war. In a general wav
it has been decided TO give span;sh sbins
in American waters Reasonable time IN
vacate, period which may enable them IN
