LAST WEEKS CLOSING EVENTS.
Proclamation Calling Out $4,000 Men
News from the Fleets.

Washington, April 25.-The president
Saturday called upon the people of the
United States for the first time in thirty
years to manifest their martial
strength. He asks for $4,000 men, who
will be concentrated at Washington,
Richmond and Atlanta, where they will
be held until they are properly trained
and disciplined. 1t is understood that
Fitzhugh Lee will have a major gen.
erals command in this force. OF these
troops the following are five state
quotas: Illinois, 6,60S; Indiana. 4.402:
Iowa, S,772; Michigan, 1865; Wisconsin,
1924. Another important act Saturday
was the creation Of a new regular army
corps, which means that Cuba will be
invaded by the regulars very soon.
The house passed the Hull army re-
organization bill, which increases the
regular army to 61,000 enlisted men and
permits the use of the National Guard
as organized, while it modernizes the
regular army. In anticipation of the
presidents call vast number of letters
and kilograms have begun to flow in
upon Secretary Alger offering the SER
vices of the senders as volunteers in
the army. So numerous are these COM
munications that the secretary has
asked the press to notify the people
that such communications should be di-
rected to the governors of their re-
spective states and territories. as he
had no authority under the law to ac-
cept volunteers directly.
Emphasis was given Saturday to the
fact that war exists by the establish
ment of the military censorship of the
press and the taking possession of the
telegraph office at Key West, the Ha-
vana cable being abandoned. A general
order governing the issuance of passes
10 newspaper correspondents and their
presence with the army in time of war
will be issued In the general order to the
army. IT is the intention of the depart
ment to limit the issue of passes to the
smallest possible number of men, and
they are at all times to be subject TO
such restrictions as the general may
impose, disobedience of orders or other
misconduct to be followed by revoca-
ton of the pass.

Key West, Fla, April 23.-The United

Sand Key light yesterday morning at Z

his shoulders and accepted the situation

According to prize laws Captain May

to the United States district attorney

reported that the destination of the
fleet is MatanZas. On board the flag
ship is Captain Aranguren, brother Of
the late Brigadier General Nestor Aran-
guren. He will pilot the fleet to Matan-

The reason that DR.. Williams Pink Pills

HEAVY BOOM IN WHEAT,

New York, April 27.-There was an
other wild opening in wheat yesterday
as a result of further sensational de-
velopments at Liverpool. Prices there

Getting Out of Spain.
Bayonne, France, April 23-General
Woodford, the United States minister
to Spain, arrived here yesterday after
noon after exciting experiences at Sc
govia and Valladolid, Spain. The Sc
govia incident was comparatively un-
important. The students of the military
school, in full uniform, packed the
depot. They were silent until the train
started, when there were enthusiastic
outbursts of cheering for Spain and
Cuba. The Valladold affair. however,
threatened to be quite serious. Thou
sands of excited people attempted to in
wade the railroad station. and the TWEEN
ty civil guards who accompanied the
train were compelled to form up in
front of General Wodfords carriage
with drawn swords, while other civil
guards of the local force issued from the
depot to protect the train. The mob
showered stones on the cars, shattering
the windows.
General Woodford knew nothing Of
the disturbances until he reached To-
losa. There a sergeant of the civil
guard, accompanied by a private,
boarded the train and demanded that
Joaquin Moreno disembark from the
car. James, the generals valet, there
upon awakened the general, who hur-
riedly dressed while matters were being
explained to him. The general then
formally protested against the attempt
ed interference with his suite, declar-
ing that Moreno was his private Sec
rotary and a British subject
The SpaniaSds claimed that he was a
Spanish subject, but the general re-
fused to give him up to the police and
placed himself in the doorway of the
compartment in which Moreno was
travelling, declaring he would only sur
render the latter If forced to do so. The
minister then explained to the Span
iards that he had placed Moreno under
the protection of the British flag and
that if they took him it would only be
by using personal violence to the United
States minister, who proposed to pro-
tect Moreno until the frontier was
crossed
