| monitor to the detection and punish
| mont of traitors. but fortunately ali of
them turned out on inquiry to he with
| ont foundation. Actual events Of i'm
| portance We're few in number.
| The news of the day of most interest
was the departure from Cape Verde OF
| the Spanish lleet, the stay Of which at St.
Vincent has been d source of anxiety
on the part of the officials here. because
it seemed To indicate that the sympa-
thy of Portugal for Spain might lead
her to wink al a violation Of neutral
ity laws in favor of Spain.
Late in the afternoon cable
gram came to the state de
partment from Cape Verde. bear
ing no signature. announcing that
four battleshipc and three torpedo
boats had started north and some
of the transports for Cuba and that
the northern fleet returned shortly,
having been in collision. Because there
was no signature to the cablegram, the
officials did not know what importance
to attach to this message.
Capt. Sampson sent brief telegram
relative To the firing at the Matanzas
forts. 1t was lacking in detail but it
went to confirm the official view that
the affair was nothing more than a
naval reconnaissance
No news came, today. from Admiral |

that If Admiral Dewey defeated the

Thanksgiving Proclamation,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2s.-The presi-
dent, after the cabinet meeting to-day,
issued the following Thanksgiving proc
lAmstion:
The approaching November brings
TO mind the customs OF our ancestors,
hallowed by the time and rooted In our
most sacred traditions, OF giving thanks
TO Almighty God for all the blessings
he has youchsafed 10 US during the past
year.
Few years In our history have afford
ed such cause for thanksgiving as this.
We have been blessed by abundant har-
vests, our trade and commerce have
been wonderfully increased, our public
credits been improved and strengthened
all sections OF the country have been
brought together and knitted into closer
bond OF national purpose and unity.
The skies have been for time dark
ened by the cloud of war, but as we
were compelled TO take up the sword In
the cause of humanity, we are permit
ted to rejoice that the conflict has been
OF brief duration, and the losses we
have had TO mourn, though grievous
and important, have been so few, con-
sidering the great result accomplished,
as to inspire US with gratitude and
praise TO the Lord OF Hosts. We may
laud and magnify His holy name that
the cessation OF hostilities came 80 soon
as TO spare both sides the countless sor'
row and.disas;ers that attend protrsct-
cd war.
| | do, therefore, invite all my fellow
citizens, as we'll as those at home, o,
those who may be at sea or sojournine
In foreign lands, to set apart and OBJ
serve Thursday, the oath day OF Novem
Der, as day of national thanksgiving

the seasons and the fruitfuluess OF tn
soil, for the continued prosperity Of th
people, for the devotion and valor o
our countrymen, for the glory OF ou
victory and the hope of righteou
peace, and to pray that the Divine guid
