ADMIRAL miller 70 GO
is ORDERED IN HASTE TO SAN
FRANCISCO.
U. S. S. Mohican Also Ordered Away
No Danger of an Attack From the
Spanish Here.

Admiral Miller and his personal
staff received orders by the S. S. Ala
media this morning to proceed at once
to San Francisco, and there to await
further orders. Another dispatch di-
rected Captain Book of the training
ship Mohican to take his ship back to
San Francisco. The gunboat Ben
nington has been directed to remain
here, to look after Americans and
their interests in the Islands.
So far as can be learned these are
all the orders that have been receiv-
ed by American naval officers in port.
The Mohican will try to get away to-
night. Report says that the monitor
Monadnock has started around the
Horn to join the Asiatic squadron. Ad-
miral Miller and his secretaries. Lieu
tenants Rodgers and Andrews, will
sail by the S. S. City of Peking on
Saturday.
Admiral Miller was too busy to see
a Star man this morning, but sent
Lieutenant Andrews to be his spokes-
man. Mr.. Andrews said that the Adj
miral had rather been expecting or
ders to move. He did not believe that
the Islands are in any danger of at
tack from the Spanish. particularly
as they are neutral. Anyhow, Spain
has less than a dozen warships in the
Pacific, and only three of them are of
any size. She has a cruiser of 5000
tons and two of 1000 tons each at the
PHILIPPINES. 1t is believed that only
the largest vessel of the three could
carry coal enough to steam this far.
Even if they were to leave the Phil
ippines the American squadron now
at Hongkong could intercept them,
and are more than a match for them.
The other boats of the Spanish fleet.
including a gunboat at the Caroline
Islands, are insignificant.
The Admiral said it would be i'm
possible for a Spanish warship to be
on the Pacific coast at this time.

Second.-The government claims

Third.-The grant of the Youmans

which the Hawaiian Commercial Com
pany is operating does not.
Fourth.-The government main
tains jurisdiction over entire water
front of Honolulu harbor. Wharves
or landings constructed by private
parties have been without permission
or objection.
Fifth.--The government claims the
right to object to the maintenance of
any wharf or pier now built upon
land below high water mark: also.
''for similar reasons the government
claims the right to object to or pre-
vent the erection of any wharf or
pier wherever the rights of the people

FLEETS UNDER WAY.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-The

will be issued from the Navy Depart
ment within half an hour.
The Cabinet discussed the dispatch
from General Woodford, received this
morning, and concluded that the ac-
tion of the Spanish government con-
stituted a reply to the ultimatum of
President Mckinley.
There was, therefore, no reason for
delaying the action that President

THE JOINT RESOLUTION.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-The Gu
ban resolution as adopted tonight by
the Senate and House is as follows:
"Joint resolution for the recogni-
ton of the independence of the peo-
pie of Cuba, demanding that the gov
ernment OIL Spain relinquish its au-
thority and government in the island
of Cuba, and to withdraw its land and
naval forces from Cuba and Cuban
waters, and directing the President
of the United States to use the land
and naval forces of the United States
to carry these resolutions into effect.
Whereas, the abhorent conditions
which have existed more than three
years in the island of Cuba, so near
our own borders, have shocked the
moral sense of the people of the Unit
ed States, have been disgrace to
Christian civilization, eliminating as
they have in the destruction of Uni
ted States battleship and 266 of its
visit in the harbor of Havana, and
cannot longer be enduring, as has
been set forth by the President of
the United States in his message to
Congress of April II, 1898, upon which
the action of Congress was invited,
therefore,
Resolved, by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United
States of America, in Congress assem-

'First-That the people of the island
of Cuba are and of right ought to be
independent.
"Second-That it is the duty of the
United States to demand, and the gov
ernment of the United States does
hereby demand, that the government
of Spain at once relinquish its author
ity and government in the island of
Cuba and withdraw its land and ma
val forces from Cuba and Cuban wa
ters.
"Third-That the President of the
United States be and he hereby is di-
rected and empowered to use the en-

That war is on would seem certain
from the news brought this morning
by the Alereda. The march of the
events which, since the disaster to the
Maine, have seemed so portentous yet
so slow, appear in the last day or
two before the Alameda sailed to have
moved with startling rapidity.
President .McKinley's ultimatum.
based on the joint resolution of Con-
gress, has been accepted in all quart
ers as declaration of war. Spain did
not wait for the presentation of the
ultimatum before sending Minister
Woodford his passports and ordering
his withdrawal, nor ordering her feet
to battle The United States was us
prompt in accepting this challenge.
The flying squadron at once put TO
sea, headed for Havana. A call for
100000 men was issued and no doubt
by this time more than that many
have volunteered and are under arms.
Meanwhile the preparation for war
which had been going on for weeks
assumed the form of tangible action.
The regular army has been mobolized
at four points in the south, Chicka-
manga. near Chattanooga, Tenn.
New Orleans. Mobile and Tampa. The
troops from the Coast military ports
started April Goth.
The joint resolution of Congress
by which action was really precipitat-
ed, being legislative measure, was
necessarily apparently slow in prep
aration and adoption. Similar resolu-
tions were presented in both houses
Strangely as it may seem the House
proved more conservative than the
Senate and forced the latter to recede
from it's recognition of the present in
surgent government in Cuba.
The President promptly approved
the resolution and issued his ultima
tum.
Then the war.

note just issued says the Spanish Gov
ernment considers the ultimatum Of
the United States constitutes a declar'
alton of war.
