Washington, April Sl.-The North At,
lantic squadron has sailed for Havana
from Key West
The decision to send the fleet was
reached at the cabinet meeting this after
noon. Hurried orders were dispatched
TO the fleet to establish blockade at the
enhance of Havana harbor. Later on the
fleet will be supported by troops who will
be dispatched to Cuba as soon as, in the
opinion OF the president, it is possible to
use them advantageously in the occapa-
tion of the island.
Meanwhile as rapidly as troops can be
rushed to Key West and other points ON
the South Atlantic and Gulf coasts, they
viii be hurried forward 1t is estimated
it will take ten days to concentrate an
army of sufficient size with supplies to
make the campaign 1t is the purpose
to gather these troops and make a sharp
decisive movement.
Immediately upon the passage of the
army volunteer bill by congress the pres
ident will call for 100000 men. OF this
force it is intended to use $4,000 men in
Cuba in conjunction with the regular ar
my now already assembled or assembling
at the points of concentration. The re-
naming 10000 men will aid the artillery
detaehments in guarding the sea coast
and manning the heavy guns of the coast
defenses.
The cabinet meeting discussed a num-
Der of questions, all Of which involve i'm
mediate hostihties.
The question of a formal declaration OF
war was considered, but it is understood
it is unlikely that any formal defamation
will be made at once.
The End of Peace.
Washington, April 2l.-DiplOmatic re-
lations between the United States and
Spain are at an end. 1t is expected, from
now on, events will move with amazing
raPidity up to the climax of actual war.

race he was on Sparrow Wing, a to 8

LANDS HIS MAN.
Constable BlandfOrd Recaptures Wes-
ley Ste .,art. Fugitive From Justice.

ny StS'S"Tts JuStIce
Constable William D. Biandford of the
Pisca taway. Prince Georges county dis
trict called at police headquarters TO-DAY
and informed the detectives that they need
look no longer for Wesley Stewart, colored,
whose arrest he had requested. The con-
stable captured him near Marshall Hall
Sunday afternoon, and came near causing
a tragedy.
Several weeks ago Constable Webster had
occasion to arrest Stewart, who is a DOW
erful man, and started with him for Justice
Roberts office, where it was the intention
to have him held for court on a charge Of
housebreaking. The constable succeeded
in getting irons on the prisoners wrists
without much trouble, but when passing
piece of woods Stewart made an effort
to get away. In the struggle he got pos
session Of the officers revolver and fired
two shots at him. With the handouts on
him he made his way through the woods
and escaped. After that the officers
learned that he crossed the river at Alex
andria and came here. The local officers
got so close on him that he returned to
Alexandria, and soon afterward he went to
Charles county. While down there, it is
alleged. his behavior was such that the
officers got after him and he returned to
Prince Georges
Again Constable Webster got on his trail,
and again the fugitive made an effort to
shoot him.
Sunday afternoon Constable Blandford
learned that Stewart had been seen near
Marshall Hall, and arming himself with a
shotgun he went to serve bench war
rant on the fugitive. Reaching the house
where Stewart lived he rushed In and mott
fed him that he had bench warrant for
him. There were about ten colored men
in the house and four of them We're seated
about a table playing cards. Stewart at
tempted to draw his revolver on Constable
Blandford. but the latter was too quick
with his gun. He did not discharge his
weap, H. however, and succeeded in get
ting Stewart out CT the house. The hand
cuffs were put on him after considerable
trouble, and after Justice Roberts had held
him for trial Constable Webster took him
to Marlboro and lodged him in jail.

Americans easily, 1t was believed they
would hold the American Whist League
trophy for some time. but upon their first
match at home they were made to bite the
dust by the ''Knicks" The curious part
of the victory is the fact that the kncker-
bockers have never before played together
in a match while the four gentlemen COM
prsing the New York team are known far
and wide as an exceptionally strong aggre-
cation of experts. The games were strated
at 8 o'clock Monday evening and the con-
clusion was not reached until 3 o'clock
Tuesday morning. The New Yorks started
off well and held the lead until the forty
second board was played, when the Knick-
erbockers forged ahead and finally won out
by three tricks. Both teams are opponents
of the ''common-sense" game The follow
