Postmaster-General James A. Gary
rendered his resignation to the Pres
ident last Thursday, who Reluctantly
accepted it and appointed Charles
Emory Smith, publisher Of the Phila-
delphia Press, to fill the vacancy.
Mr.. Gary retired because OF the al
most complete collapse Of his health.
On Monday John Sherman, Secretary
of State, also resigned as a member
of the cabinet and Judge Vim. R. Day,
Assistant Secretary, who has been
virtually running the State Depart
ment for many months, will succeed
him. Mr.. Sherman has been in fee
BILE health for a long time, and his
mental powers have declined so great
~ as to unfit him for the great respon-

years of age, and has been in public
life for oven forty years. 1t is rumored
that there may be still other changes
in the cabinet.

THE WAR is ON.

The war between the United States
and Spain has begun. The United
States fleet of war vessels began
the blockade of Havana last Friday,
Immediately upon receipt of the IN
telligence that Spain had given Min
lister Woodford his passports at Mad
rid. President Mckinley issued a
proclamation in which he announced
a blockade OF the principal Cuban
ports, and our ships are now watching
day and night to see that no vessels
enter or depart contrary to his order.
When our vessels appeared before Ha-
vana the Spanish forts fired a few
shots at them, none of which took ef-
feet. Our ships did not reply, The
plan is to cut off all supplies from Ha-
vana, and force submission with as lit
tie bloodshed and damage as possible
It's said that provisions are already
becoming scarce and greatly advanc-
ing in price. The poorer people are
beginning to suffer, and the soldiers
are driving the Cubans into the coun-
try from the cities. Beef is two dollars

The first battle in the war took
place yesterday at the port Of Matan-
zas, sixty miles from Havana, when
Admiral Sampson, with the flagship
New York, the monitor Puritan and
the cruiser Cincinnati, bombarded, ST.
fenced and almost entirely destroyed
the Spanish batteries at the entrance
to that haIbor The Spanish loss OF
life is said to be considerable. Not an
American ship was struck. The three
ships went into the bay Of Matanzas,
and while accommodating for the pur-
pose of locating the formidable de-
fenses being constructed, the flagship
New York was fired on by the bat
teries on Point Rubal Caya and Point
Maya, guarding the entrance to the
harbor. The New York instantly re-
piled with her forward 6-inch guns on
the port side, steamed boldly in be-
tween the batteries and was soon blaz-
ing away with both broadsides at them.
The Puritan and Cincinnati then took
part in the engagement, and the bat
teries of the Spanish replied vigorous
ly. 1t took the three ships just eight
cen minutes to silence the batteries.
The American gunners had fired ac-
curately all the way through and had
created havoc. Not one Spanish shell
hit a ship, though several fell near the
New York. After waiting vainly for
the Spanish to renew the engagement
the ships withdrew, leaving both the
batteries in ruins. The New York
had Just given the signal to retire
when one defiant shot was fired from
Rubal Caya. 1t was the last shot that
battery was to fire. One of the big
13-inch guns on the Puritan followed
back. 1t was the best shot Of the day.
The shell struck the battery just where
the gun was, tore its way into the
earthworks and exploded, doing great
destruction. Having practically de-
molished the Spanish batteries the
ships stood out to sea.

On Monday President Mckinley
sent a message to Congress requesting
that body to make a formal declara-
ton of war against Spain. The sub
iect was referred to the Senate and
House committees on foreign affairs,
which soon reported. In the House
the measure was passed in one minute
and forty seconds, with no dissenting
vote. The Senate also adopted the
bill after brief debate. The decIara-
ton is as follows:
BE it enacted, etc.
"FirSt-That war be and the same is
hereby declared to exist, and that war
has existed since the 2lSt day of April, y.
ID. 1898, including said day, between the
United States of America and the King
dom of Spain.
"Sccond-That the President of the
United States be and he hereby is direct
ed and empowered to use the entire land
and naval forces of the United States
and to call into the actual service of the
United States the militia of the several
States, to such eNtentas may be necessa-
ny to carry this act into effect.

Now that war has been declared,
there's only one thing to be done, and
that is to back up the President and
sustain our government. Right or
wrong, we must fight for victory for
the United States and see that the
fig is not furnished. Patriotism now
demands that the services of our citi-
zens shall be given to our country.

IN the House Of Representatives
yesterday Mr.. Dingley, the Republi-
can leader. gave it as his opinion that
the war with Spain would not be a
three months affair nor a six months
affair, but was likely to keep up con-
siderably longer. Nobody knows
where war Will end-and yet people
are talking of it as a trifing matter.
>-~->-~~~~~~~-~>~~--~--~
THERE was spirited discussion in
Congress yesterday over the bill to Is
sue bonds to the extent of $500,000,-
600 for the purpose of carrying on the
war with Spain. The Democrats very
properly took the ground that this
enormous sum of money is unnecessary
at this time, and would be an incen-
tive to the most extravagant wasteful-
ness. Mr., Bailey, the Democratic
leader, favored an income tax, thus
requiring the rich to pay a share Of
the expenses, but this will not be con-
sidered by the majority.

the gay bright men OF the world who
would be around her dinner table.
The butler, with a clever foresight,
had put neither orchids nor coloTed

instead there was bunch of great

gether with white ribbon. My lady
Nine Grandame gave on glance at her
cousin, and was satisfied. The white

lection the slim, girlish figure. About
the waist was a pale green ribbon
sash, and about her pretty neck was
a string Of small but real pearl beads.
They were the very last of her moth
er's wedding jewels.
During dinner Fife was pleasant to

charming addition to the stock, and

AN OUTFIT FOR

Who to Put in the For Students Trunk--An Intricate
Problem for The Average Mother.
Copyright. 1881

One of the most difficult questions
for the average mother to solve at the
present season is what to put into
those important trunks which in thous-
ands of households busy hands are
preparing for the first term at college
or boarding school. 1t is not alone
clothing that is needed, but many
other articles which would not occur
to the inexperienced mother. "How
many of each piece?" is also an i'm
portant problem.
The young collegian needs many
trifies and trinkets to beautify the
bare room Of the dormitory. Here is
what one experienced college girl says
the average student will find neces-
saTy to take with her:
First she needs a stout, serviceable
woolen school dress. Serge, broad
cloth, flannel or mohair will do The
dress, while simple, should be as be-
comingly made as possible, although
with no costly trimming or anything
on the least pretentious.
For warm days a black skirt to be
worn with the inevitable shirt waist
should be added. Laundry bills are an
important item, as only one dozen
