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,
directed attention to the fact that the
war has existed since April DIST, when
the Spanish Government broke off dip
lomatic relations, in order to avoid ac-
cepting the ultimatum at the hands of
Minister Woodford.
The text of the instructions is as fol-
lows:
Department of State April 25 1898.
"A joint resolution of Congress, APP
proved April Goth, directed Intervention
for the pacification and independence
of the Island of Cuba. The Spanish
Government on April DIST informed our
Minister at Madrid that it considered
this resolution equivalent to a declara-
ton of war, and that it had according
ly withdrawn it's Minister from Wash
ington and terminated all diplomatic
relations. Congress has, therefore, by
an Act, approved to-day, declared that
a state of war exists between the two
countries since and including April
DIST. You will inform the Governments
to which you are accredited, so that it's
neutrality may be assured in the exist
ing war. SHERMAN"
Responses have already begun to flow
in. First among all neutrals to take
cognizance of the situation and of the
existence of a state of war are the Brit
ish colonies. 1t may not be of particu-
lar significance, yet it goes in meas
ure to support the contention of this
It,D antI 191 fad
before the declaration by Congress yes
terday, and that the British colonies in
cases have acted and made their procla-
nations of neutrality in advance of ac-
ton by Congress. Thus it happens that
the British Government of the Straits
Settlement of Singapore issued their
proclamation yesterday forenoon. The
news was contained in the following
cablegram to the State Department
from United States Consul Pratt at
Singapore:
Secretary of State, Washington:
Neutrality proclamation proclaimed
here to-day"
This dispatch was received here at
2:40 p. m. yesterday, indicating that
the Straits Government had passed its
declaration.
The State Department officials have
taken note of the semi-official state
ment from Germany to the effect that
that nation will not at present issue
neutrality proclamation. They are not
very much concerned, however, believ-
ing that any advantage to be gained
by Germany in refraining from adopt
ing the usual course in this course in
this respect vii be rather technical
than practical Certainly all of the
advantages to be reaped by the United
States from the enforcement of the
German neutrality law would be
claimed by our Government, and it is
not doubted that the laws will be put
in operation in Germany whether or
not a proclamation is issued at this
time.

The Government has not thought of

WHEAT ADVANCES.
Reached the Highest Point at Chi
cago Known in Years.

CHICAGO April 26.-With the Liver
pool wheat market in state of violent
excitement, and the price of the article
for July delivery equal to cents a
bushel higher than it closed last night,
it was naturally somewhat surprising
when July opened in this market to-day
at an advance of only 23S02l&c. The
buying fever was not entirely chilled,
however. and after a moments hesita-
ton another cent was added to the price.
Leading bull operators unloaded mill
ions of bushels on this tempting swell,
and 2-cent break followed. The
Northwestern markets likewise gave
evidence of an over-supply, and toppled
oft 203c.
Second Liverpool cables showed a
good decline, bat were offset by advanc-
es on the Continent equal to 612@ bc
at Antwerp.
Bradstreet's report gave the worlds
visible supply at a decrease of 4,SI6,-
600, and brought about a rally of 1c,
and traders were overloaded, and took
every opportunity to tighten their hold
ings.
An advance of I'D in ocean freights,
bringing the rate per bushel up to 13l2d.
New York to United Kingdom ports,
was the cause of the latest weak phase
of the market here. that it brought
down to 93Ac for July, and prevented
more that its fractional recovery.
During the opening excitement May
wheat sold at 81 Is. the highest price
in several years. There was plenty for
sale. and it eased off slowly to 81 221a,
closing at 81 -, net gain of 312c. July
