The River Falls times. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1894-1933, 1898-04-26

Schley, of the flying squadron has IS
sued a practical censorship over those
in his command relative to the divuIg-
ing of the reason for any movement
made or to be made by the squadron
or individual ships of the squadron.
TO more fully carry out that plan of
protection to the government interest
only commanding officers are made
aware Of such movements and the re-
sponsibility is thus minimized 1t is
for these reasons that the actual desti-
nation of the Minneapolis and Column
bia is merely matter of newspaper
conjecture. The actual mission of the
big cruisers is not, and will not be
made public, the navy department,
Commodore Schley and the command
ers of the vessels being the sole pos
SCISSORS of information on the subject.

On Board Flagship New York, Off
Havana, April %. MORO Batteries
opened fire on the fleet early yester-
day mogajng, but without effect. There
have been no casualties among our
forces up to this hour and not single
shot has been fired against the bat
teries.
Havana, April 26. The United
States feet will begin the lombard
ment Of Havana today. Rear Admiral
Sampson has sent notice of his inten-
ton to Mr.. Gollan, he British consul
here who, acting under instructions
from lis government. is in charge of
the United States consulate here.
Mr.. GOllan has told Captain General
BlanCO. that real war is ahUut to be-
gin. The city is terror-strjcKen. Adj
miral SIMPSONS notice simply stated
that he Intended to begin the lombard
ment. 1t is not known whether his
ships will cOntine themselves to the
batteries. and after silencing them
take Havana with the sailors and ma
rines. or will try to force surrender
by Snelling the city itself.
Gen. Blanc ovisited all the batteries
as soon as he was told Of the intention
Of the American commander. HI els

guns that are most depended upon as
defenders. He will remain there all
night
The First Shot

rest in the city tonight The streets
are crowded Troops are being moved
bither and thithor to strengthen the
defenses. Gen. Pando, who FASTENED
to the remote batteries as soon as the
United States fleet arrived here, re-
turned to the city tonight. l was told
that he had narrow escape from
capture by a rebel band, and that re-
port was accompanied by another that
the insurgents are moving in toward
the city so as to be ready to dash in
and assist the United States forces

lenses to drive them back.

An Exciting Chase.

The salute of the Giovanni Bansan
had scarcely been returned before 81
schooner was seen on the coast. The
torpedo boat Porter which had been
following close to the flagship, was
dispatched to capture her. The Porter
fairly flew through the water. and af-
ter few shots fired form her one
FOUNDER the schooner Mathilde hove
to. Capt. Fremont did his work Wei
and quickly. When he towed the Ma
thilde back to the flagship it was
found she was from Sierra Morena,
bound for Havana, laden with sugar
ana manned by Spanish naval. reserve
men, thus proving quite a good prize,
The dispatch boat Dauntless was
asked through the megaphOne to tow
the Spanish prize to Key West.
The Pedro was taken to Key West,
the New York returned to the remain
der of the fleet and all the vessels lay
too and drifted all night outside of
Havana harbor. Torpedo boats and
one of the cruisers did patrol duty in
the vicinity Of the fleet all night, but
no vessel of any kind approached the
men-of-war. That shot had been
fired by the New York and that one
Steamer Had been Seized
and that another had been stopped
must have been known in Havana
soon after the occurrences, for the
whole affair could be witnessed from
the shore. However, none of the yes
sells was close enough to the city of
Havana itself to know what demon
STATIONS the events caused there.
This was the second seizure of the
day, the first being that of the Spanish
steamer Buena Ventura, which the
fleet of warships met early in the
morning, soon after they had left
their anchorage at Key West. The
steamer was some distance outside Of
Havana harbor at the time she was
stopped and Admiral Sampson sig
nailed the Nashville, which brought
her to, to escort her to port, which was
done. A third seizure occurred a few
miles west of the entrance to Havana
harbor 1t was a small schooner, APP
parently a fishing craft, and she was
captured by the Cincinnati. The
cruiser towed her to the flagship and
her captain made satisfactory eXplana-
ton to Admiral Sampson, who re-
leased the vessel.

AT CHIcKAMAUGA
Sunday Sightseers Crowd the Ma
tiOnaI Park.


Chattanooga, Tenn, April %. - All
roads lead to Chickamauga. The i'm
mense National Park. where are now
encampeti nearly 5000 of the United
States regular troops, was a loadstone
which drew thousands of people from
all the surrounding country, and for
the day nearly depopulated Chatta
nOOga. Even before sunrise the stream
of humanity had started toward the
park, and by afternoon fully $4,000
people were scattered through the vast
grounds watching the incoming sol
diers unload and march to their as
signed camping places and noting
with interest the different phases of
soldiers life on the field. Kodak
fiends by the score were there and
took snap shots at every opportunity
with or without provocation. The long
government road leading from Chatta-
nooga out through RosSville and Ross
Gap to the Park was fairly choked
with vehicles all day. Excursion
trains brought in thousands from
Nashville, Memphis, Cincinnati, Attain
ia. Huntsville and all the intermediate
towns and villages, and the trains
which ran to the park as often as the
prompt handling Of the soldiers would
permit, were crowded to the platforms
every trip.

PLEASES SPANIARDS
governments Adherence to the
Right of Privatcering.

Governments Adherence to the
Right of Privatcering.
London. April 26.-The Madrid cor
respondent Of the Daily Mail says:
Spain adopts privateering in fact,
but not in n2ine. The reservation in
the decree means very little and what
the cancellation of agreements with
the United States means can well be
appreciated particularly by Ameri-
cans remaining behind in Cuba and
those who own property there. Five
days are granted for American vessels
to leave Spanish ports Urgent or
ders have been issued for the move
ment OF various Spanish men-of-war
and vigorous action is anticipated.
Many French ship owners and not
few private Frenchmen have applied
for letters OF marQue against the
United States.
The cabinet council Sunday after
noon discussed the conduct OF the war
and the measures it is proposed to
submit to the cOrtes. Senior Puigcer-
yer, minister Of finance, will submit
his projects on Tuesday next. Every
occasion is being seized throughout
the country for patriotic demonstra-
lions, and the national colors are uni
yersally worn.
Spains adherence to the right of
priyateering, if eXpedient, has given
great satisfaction in Spain, where the
public press markedly approves the at
titude of the government. Fears are
expressed on the continent that the
United States will find it necessary to
retaliate, despite the adhesion Of the
government to the determination of
Paris. In any case SPANS attitude
will enhance the Importance of the ne
gotiations of the powers, which, it is
understood, have been initiated by
Italy with a view to making arrange
ments to protect neutrals on the seas.
II is reported from Vienna that Eng
land holds aloof from the negotiations,
though this is dscredited.
Madrid, April 26.-It is believed that
the Spanish admirals at their meeting
yesterday approved of a plan of cam
paign against the United States. All
information on the subject naturally
is refused. A high official asserts that
the powers are still comforting with
the results which are expected to ben
eft Spain. The impartial prints list
of the American ships in the Mediter
ranean, pointing out 5hat they will be
easy prey for the Spanish warships.
