phor could furnish so apt an illustra-
tion of the union between Christ and
his followers as that which he uses of
the vine and the branches. The vitall-
ty of vegetable sap that in the case of
the Sequoia Gigantea can raise number
less tons hundreds of feet in the air,
and that in case of simple vegetable
can in its growth displace thousands of
tons, is fitting analogy of the spiritual
force that energies the church of
Christ.

There has been some apprehension
that there might be a renewal OF the
effort to secure p trecognition of the
independence of the insurgents In con-
nection with the war declaration. but
the best information now is that this
will not be undertaken. and that there
will be practically no opposition In the
senate to war resolution. 1t is sug-
gested on the part Of some of the
members Of the cofnnlittee on foreign
relations that 1T will not even be nee
essary to refer the president's message
to the COMMITTEES when received. but
that a resolution can be immediately
introduced and passed. If this sug-
gestion should not prove practicable
the committee will report promptly.

the naval bill Is The provision in re-

Privateerin& In Fact, but Not in
Name, Say London Papers.
LONDON, April 25.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Daily Mail, tele-
graphing Sunday, says: Spain adopts
privateering in fact, but not in name.
The reservation in the decree issued
means very little, and what the cancel
lation of agreements with the United
States means can well be appreciated,
particularly by Americans remaining
behind in Cuba and those who own
property there. Five days are granted
for American vessels to leave Spanish
ports.
Urgent orders have been issued for
the movement of various Spanish men
of-war, and vigorous action Is antici-
pated. Many French ship owners, and
not q few private Frenchmen, have ap-
piled for letters Of marque against the
United States.
''The cabinet council this afternoon
Sunday discussed the conduct Of the
war and the measures 1t is proposed to
submit to the .cortes. Senor Puigcer-
yer, minister of finance, will submit
his projects on Tuesday next. Every
occasion is being seized throughout the

to correcting them II found as serious
as reported. This bin has been inves-
tigated by some Of the best lawyers
of the senate, and most OF them ex-
press the opinion that 1t is not de-
fective.
It is not believed that the war rev
enue bill will receive consideration
from the senate this week, owing to the
probability that it will meet with suf-
f1cient opposition in the finance COM
mittee to delay it there for some time.
The Democrats will seek to eliminate
the bond feature of the bill, and they
may attempt to incorporate a provis-
Ion for an income tax when the bill
reaches the committee, and stub
born contest is promised both in the
committee and in the; senate. Whether
the bill is amended in the committee or
reported as it comes from the house,
the indications are quite positive that
it will be made the basis Of pro-
longed discussion of finances.

MADRID, April "a q p m.).-The
following decree was gazetted today:
Diplomatic relations are broken off
between Spain and the United States,
Ind the state Of war being begun be-
tween the the two countries numerous
questions of international law arise,
which must be precisely defined be-
sause the injustice and provocation
rome from our adversaries, and it is
hey who, by their detestable conduct,
have caused this grave conflict"
The royal decree then says Spain
maintains her right to have recourse
to privateering, and announces that for
the present only auxiliary cruisers will
be fitted out. All treaties with the
United States are annulled; thirty days
are given to United States ships to
leave Spanish ports, and the rules
Spain will observe during the war are
outlined in five clauses, covering neu-
trail flags and goods, contraband Of
war, what will be considered a block
ade, the right Of search and what con-
stitutes contraband of war, ending
with saying foreign privateers will be
regarded as pirates.
Continuing the decree reads: We
have observed with strictest fidelity
the principles of international law, and
nave shown the most scrupulous re-
spect for morality and the right of gov
ernment. There is an opinion that the
fact that we have not adhered to the
declaration Of Paris does not exempt
us from the duty of respecting the
principles therein enunciated. The prin-
ciple Spain unquestionably refused to
admit then was the abolition Of priva-
teer1ng. The government now consid-
ers it most indispensable to make alb
solute reserve on this point in order to
maintain our liberty of action and I'M
contestable right to have recourse to
pTdvateering when we consider it expe-
dlent, first by organizing Immediately a
force of cruisers auxiliary to the navy
which will be composed Of vessels of
our mercantile marine, and with equal
distinction in the work of our navy.
Following is the summary of the
more important clauses outlining the
rules Spain will observe during the
war:
Clause 1.-The state of war existing
between Spain and the United States
annuls the treats of peace and amity of
October 27, 1885, and the protocol of
January IL, 1877, and all other agree
ments, treaties or conventions in force
between the two countries.
Clause 2.-From the publication of
these presents, thirty days are granted
to all ships of the United States an
chored in our harbors to take their de-
parture free of hindrance
Clause 8. = Notwithstanding that
Spain has not adhered to the declara-
ton of Paris, the government, respect
ing the principles of the law of nations,
proposes to observe, and hereby orde. )
TO be observed, the following regula-
tions of maritime law
1.-Neutral flags cover the enemy's
merchandise, except contraband of
war.
"2.-Neutral merchandise, except con-
traband of war, is not seizable under
the enemy's flag.
ga blockade to be obligatory must
be effective, viz. 1t must be maintained
with sufficient force to prevent access
to the enemy's littoral.

Mr.. Meiklejohn has already received
a large number of applications from
newspapers to permit their representa-
ttves to accompany the army, but, as
stated in the circular issued yesterday,
the number to be accorded the privi-
lege will be limited
The assistant secretary is busily en-
gagged in supervising the general prep
arations for the transportation Of the
troops overland, and also to Cuba, for
which large number of vessels will
be chartered. In the quarternaster'
office nearly the whole clerical force
was on hand. The details are far from
complete, but Quartermaster General
Ludfngton believes everything will be
in readiness by the time the troops are
ready to move.
1t may be that the railroad arrange
ments for the transfer of the troops
overland will be left to the immediate
charge of the quartermasters Of the
various army departments, who are
fully acquainted with the facilities at
hand for doing this work. Some under
standing with the railroads on the basis
Of uniform rates of travel will be ar
ranged If possible, so that the soldiers
may be sent by the shortest possible
route with the least charge to the
government Questions of equipmen.
Of the troops with uniforms and tents
also are to be settled, although many
of the state organizations are prepared
in this respect. The department has
number of branches in which tents,
uniforms, ETC., are manufactured, but 1t
will be compelled to call on the SER
vices Of outside firms to meet the pres
ent demands.
Gen. Miles was at his office in the
war department for some time in con-
ference with his staff officers. Antici-
pating active service in the field, the
general has had manufactured several
hundred sabretasches, or officers dis
patch cases, such as are in use among
the European armies. They are manu-
factured Of leather, are about nine in

may always have at hand an outline

WASHINGTON, April A.-secretary
Sherman said today that 1t was his
expectation that, for the present and
the immediate future, the insurgent
army would do the greater part of the
fighting in Cuba. He added the state
ment that there was no intention of
taking the militianien and new re-
cruits into Cuba until thoroughly in
ured to the hardships Of actual mill
tary life, and that probably the regu-
lars also would be held in this country
until later in the season. The secre-
tary expressed the opinion that Ad-
miral Sampson s. fleet would take the
first opportunity to form junction
with Gomez's army, and that there
would thenceforth be active co-opera-
tion between those two organizations
In conducting the war against the COM
mon enemy. 1.-The insurgents are the
best men for this service at present"
said the secretary. "and they e>n be
trusted to do jealous work when well
armed and well clothed"
He said it was hfs.r understanding
that this government would furnish
