Left MatanznS Uurriedly.

New York, April 26.-The Ward line
steamer Vigilancia, from Mexico and
Matanzas. Cuba, arrived at Quarantine
last night. The Vigilancia sailed from
Tampico April II. Matanzas was
reached on the morning of the 2lst.
The steamer remained in that port
about "a hours. The greatest excite
ment prevailed on shore, and troops
and artillerymen were plainly visible
from the steamers deck drilling on the
shore. Spanish officers were planting
mines in the harbor, the regular buoys
were being removed, and every pre-
paration being made to put the harbor
IN a defensive condition. The steamer
departed quietly early in the morning,
leaving behind more Nhan 1000 bags of
sugar and about so passengers who
were booked to sail by the steamer.
Only three passengers succeeded in
getting on board.

A PACIFIC BLOCKADE.
No Boats Can Pass Fort Monroe Between
Sunset and Sunrise Until .
Further Orders,

Fort Monroe, Va, April 26.-This port
has been declared in state Of pacific
blockade from sunset to sunrise. and no
vessels will be allowed to enter Hamp-
ton Roads between the hours that mark
that period. The Washington, Norfolk
and Richmond steamers were allowed
to leave last night as usual, but be-
ginning tonight they will have to leave
before sunset in time to be clear of the
harbor. The blockade will continue
until further orders.
The squadron was on the most war
like kind Of footing last night. A
picket fleet of steam cutters was out
for the entire night, fully armed, the
officers of the deck and the marine
sentries were armed and some of the
gun squads slept at the guns. En-
gines were coupled, full steam up and
anchors were sighted, so that there
could be no delay in starting.
Up to midnight the Montgomery had
not come down from Norfolk to escort
the Panther, with its 300 marines, to
Key West. The Montgomery, with Its
rapid fire guns, the Morrill, and the
Sioux, with their fast batteries, and
the Panther, with its complement of
eight rapid fire guns, it Is believed will
form too formidable fleet for any
enemy near this coast.
The news of the whereabouts of the
Columbia and Minneapolis was received
with surprise. and wonder was ex-
pressed at the reasons for sending them
to the New England coast. If. however,
the San Francisco and the New Or
leans join this fleet it will be strength
ened for its anticipated meeting with
the Cape de Verde. fleet of Spain.

MAY GIVE UP WAR PRIZES.
Great Britain and Austria Protest
Against Buena Veutura's Cnpture.

Great Britain and Austria Protest
Against Buena Ventura's Capture.
Washington, April 26.-The British
and the Austrian legations, it is un-
derstood, will represent to the state
department that the capure of the
seamer Buena Ventura by the Nash
vile was unjustifiable. 1t is claimed
that the cargo of the Buena Ventura
belonged to BRITISH owners who will
seek to secure redress through the
British embassy here. The case is fur
ther complicated by the fact that the
Spanish ship, with British cargo, was
carrying between two American ports,
SO that Americans participate to some
extent If loss occurs through the con-
demnation Of the Buena Ventura as a
prize. The diplomatic action will be
confined, 1t is understood, to submit
ting the protest to the state depart
ment. 1t then will be for the prize
court to decide as to the weight of the
protest.
At the leading embassies and lega-
tions opinion is somewhat divided as to
the legality of the seizure of the Buena
Ventura, the Pedro and such other
ships as were taken prior to noon on
Saturday. In one high diplomatic
quarter it is held that the state of
war did not exist at the time of these
captures, 80 that they cannot be con-
sidered war prizes. To sustain this
view it is pointed out that the course
of Spain In severing diplomatic rela-
tions did not create a state of war. AT
present France and Venezuela have
terminated their diplomatic relations
as a result of differences between them,
but. it is pointed out. there is no war
between France and Venezuela, and the
termination of their diplomatic rela-
tions has never been SO regarded by
either party. On the other hand, an
other leading embassy holds that war
now exists, and has existed for several
days.

Maine, to fight duels. The challenges
were Issued on the night that the
Spanish minister withdrew from Wash
ington. Lieutenant de Carranza had
determined upon this course of action
Immediately after General Lee and
Captain Sigsbee stated before con-
gressional committees that in their be-
lief Spanish naval officers were respon-
sible for the blowing UP of the Maine.
He made known his purpose to Min
lister Polo, who peremptorily forbade
him from issuing the challenge while
he was a member of the legation staff.
1t was finally arranged that the is
suance of the challenges should await
the termination of diplomatic relations
between Spain and the United States.
Lieutenant de Carranza's first chal-
lenge was sent to General Lee, and it
Is rather more lengthy than the one to
Captain Sigsbee. 1t contains an in
territorial insult to General Lee, with q
view of provoking him to an accept
ance. The letter states that General
Lee, in his testimony before con-
gressional committee, stated that in his
judgment Spanish officials exploded the
mine which blew up the Maine. This,
Lieutenant de Carranza asserts In his
challenge, is a direct reflection upon
the honor of the naval officers, who
had charge of the defenses of Havana.
ANY man who makes such a charga
on belief, and not on proof" the chal-
ienge proceeds, rs himself capable Of
committing the crime"
Lieutenant de Carranza refers to re-
ports that General Lee will return to
Cuba as major general, and asks that
before he goes he will give the lieu
tenant the privilege of fighting him
The challenge closes: For eight days
shall await your answer at the Span
ish consulate at Toronto"
The challenge to General Lee was
mailed at G:30 p. IN. on the Goth inst.,
as the Spanish minister and his party
were about to take the train. Lieuten-
ant de Carranza felt satisfied that Cen
eral Lee would accept the challenge,
and that meeting would occur, prob
ably on Canada soil. The challenge to
Captain Sissbee Is substantially the
same rs that to General Lee. but is
cllghtly briefer. Since the challenges
Wers sent no word has reached here as
to Ii. purposes of General Lee or Cap
tain sigsbee.

BRITON FROM HAVANA
He Says Our Soldiers Will Be Given All
49,. the Fighting They Want in
Cuba's Capital.

Key West, April 26--The British
steamer Myrtledene, Captain Milburn,
from Philadelphia on April for Ha-
vana and Cardenas, arrived here yes
terday morning from Havana. Her
commander reports that the news of
the sailing of the United States fleet
was received just previous to the de-
parture Of the Myrtledene. He adds
that 1t created no excitement in the
city, but the price Of meat Immediately
jumped from "a to so cents.
According to Captain Milburn Ha-
vana does not fear bombardment, be-
cause, the Spaniards say, the United
States began the war in the interests
Of humanity and bombardment would
be contrary to such purpose. The
city Is crowded with troops, and the
Spanish officers are drilling every man
they can press into service.
The Myrtledene reached Havana
week ago Sunday and Captain Milburn
went ashore. He says he walked over
to the new Notifications at Casa
Blanca. to make observations, when he
was arrested as an American spy. The
captain was taken to Moro Castle, and
after three or four hours had elapsed
he was informed that sentence ha,
been passed urcn kim and that he wa

coal for use by the French Mail Steam
