II MAY BE DONE TODAY

what He Would Like Congress
to DO.

washington, April 22.-The Wash

will tomorrow send u message to Cen
vress suggesting that n declaration of
war be passed. The message was In
course OF preparation at the state de-
nartment this afternoon. This action
was hastened by the seizure of the
spanish merchantmen off the Florida
coast, and the desire to prevent any
complications. The right of the seizure

belief that there would be a formal
declaration of war by Congress tomor-
row, and that 1t would be put through
the Senate within few minutes AFTER
noon, when the period offered by the
ultimatum of this government would
expire. II said he did not think 1t
would be proper for this government
TO take such action until after the limit

TO ATTACK THE OREGON.
Spanish Torpedo Gunboat Starts Out for
That Purpose.

Buenos Ayes, April 22.-The Spanish
torpedo gunboat Temerario left here
today. 1t is believed she has gone to
attack the United States battleship
oregon. and the United States gun
boat Marietta, which left Valparaiso
on Monday last for Montevideo.
The Oregon and Marietta. at a
rough estimate, have about 5000 miles
steaming between Valparaiso and
Montevideo. The battleship win neces-
sarily keep company with the gunboat
as the latter Is better able owing to the
quicker manner in which she can be
handled to successfully engage the
Spanish torpedo gunboat Teme-
rarlo, which has a speed of twenty
knots against the sixteen knots speed
credited to the Oregon.
The Marietta has a speed of about
twelve knots. Therefore. the Oregon
should take from twelve to thirteen
days in making the trip from Nalpa-
raiso to Montevldeo. AS she left Nalpa-
raise on Monday last the Oregon,
with her consort, Is now nearing Cape
Horn from the Pacific side.

New York, April 22,--1t was learned
today by the auxiliary navy board that
difficulty had arisen in regard to secur-
ing the services of the men attached to
the st. Paul of the American line,
which is being converted into pro-
tected cruiser at Cramps shipyard In
Philadelphia. When Capt. Sgsbee
took command OF her, he expected to
be able to retain the engineers. stokers
and coal-passeis, of whom between
so and 100 are employed. The most
of these men on the st. Paul and her
sister ships are foreigners and do not
want to identify themselves with the
United States. The majority OF them,
II is said. are unwilling to continue in
the hold of the st. Paul now that
she is being converted into a war ves-
sci, because they believe they will be
little protected and in great danger.

Prize.


Washington, April 22,-The report
that the gunboat Nashville had cap
tured a Spanish merchant ship gained
rapid circulation throughout the navy
department shortly after noon today.
II caused much excitement and was
eagerly discussed as an outward EVIL
dence Of actual existence of war.
Secretary Long. however. had not re-
ceived word OF the capture except
through newspaper sources. Notwith-
standing this naval officers credited
the report and discussed 1t as though
Il was an accepted fact. 1t Is said
that a part of the crew had been
placed on board and the captured ves-
sci had valuable cargo, including con-
siderable coal.
Among the officials the report caused
much satisfaction. although II was said
the capture of Spanish warshlp
would have been more acceptable.
There is said to be no question as to
the right of taking Spanish merchant
ships at this time. Two of these ships
left Galveston within the last day or
so, with considerable cargoes of cotton
on board.
Another Spanish ship is said to be
