garding the movements of warships in
Portuguese ports, as it reveals the hith-
erto scarcely. concealed fact that Portu-
gal is doing everyt thing possible TO aid

movement of warships only applies to
the Azores and Madeira. The Cape

the attack which America is noisily
threatening to make simultaneously on
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippine IS
lands with her undisciplined force. On
the American side are hodge-podge,
brag, buster, hypocrisy. and funk; on
the Spanish side are complete unani-
nifty and readiness to die for the coun-
try, trusting in God"

A Rich Prize Captured.

KEY WEST, Fla, April rs, 7:4O a. N.
The large Spanish steamer Guido,
bound from Corunna for Havana, with
large cargo of provisions and money
for the Spanish troops, was captured
early yesterday morning by the U. S.
monitor Terror. After blank shot
had been fred to order the steamer to
heave to, the Spaniard put out all her
lights and attempted to run away. The
monitor brought her six-pounders to
beer on the steamer and fired shot after
shot at the latter, nearly all Of which
took effect on the Guido's pilot house.
Eight Spauiards were wounded by
splinters. The Machias, which was some
distance away, came up and fired one
shot, which failed to hit the Spaniard.
This, however, brought her to, and q
prize crew was put 90 board of her and
the prize was brought in here this
morning. 1t is estimated that the
Guido, with her cargo, which consists
of provisions and money for the Span
ish army, is worth 100000. The
Guido is vessel of 2065 tons, owned in
Bilbao, Spain.

Bombardment of Matanzas.

KEY WEST, April 2S-4 a. m.-The
Spanish batteries of Malapzas were
BON barded for eighteen minutes yes
terday by the flagship New York, the
monitor Puritan and the cruiser Gin
cinnati. Over so shells were fired by
the United States ships and nearly all
took effect. The Spanish batteries re-
turned the fire for few minutes, but
not an American ship was struck as the
gunnery OF the Spaniards was wild.
They fred explosive shells, but most
of them went away wide of the mark.
The batteries were silenced after they
had fred thirty rounds. There must
have been many casualties on the
Spanish side, since the rapid fire guns
as we'll as those Of larger calibre were
used on the ships. Some of the batteries
that were destroyed we're about com
pleted, and others were in course OF
construction, and were considered Tor
midable and dangerous. After about
ninety shots had been fired, Admiral
Sampson waited for q renewal of the
engagement on the part of the Span
ards, but as their guns had been silenced
the ships stood out to sea. Not a shot
had struck one of them, but there had
been three narrow misses of the New
York. Admiral Sampson says that
his reasons in approaching Matanza;
were to learn what kind of guns were
mounted there, ard, if possible, STOP
the work Of fortifying.
MADRID, April 2S.-The version O.
the bombsrdment of Matanzas by the
United States fleet which has reached
here, says that 'after an hours fghI
the Americans were obliged to retreat.
1Oa. m.-Little credence is attached
in Madrid to the dispatches from New
York telling Of the bombardment of Ma
tanzaa, as they Conflict with the Off
cial reports" which, in addition to say
ing the Americans were obliged to re
treat" admit that several men were
killed" and that some damage wa:

from the Norfolk district, states that
the district referred to contains seren-
teen counties, which are described geo.

laws of Virginia, that district contains
exactly eleren counties. And yet this
report was signed by all the republican
members of the elections committee, In
Guiding Mr.. Walker, of Virginia. But
Of such are reports OF republican Con-

THE VIRGINIA TROOPS.

The adjutant general of the United
States has relieved Governor Tyler Of
all embarrassment in regard to the
mobilization of the Virginia volunteers
by informing his representative, Col
10 Lane Stern, who was sent to WASH
ington to inquire into the matter, that
the government would arrange to pay
| for their transportation and subsistence
after they arrived. There was no
money in the treasury which could be
used for the cost of the transportation
of the troops, hence the Governors de-
lay in ordering them to Richmond.
According to the standard of the regu-
lar army, the Virginia troops are more
poorly equipped than was supposed,
and the government will have to furn.
i5h large amount of material, requi-
sition for which has already been made.
AS soon as the question of transpor-
tation can be arranged, the executive
will decide as to the date when the col
diers will be Modified, and he will in
form the adjutant general of the U. S.
army, who will direct Lieutenant r
q. Croxton to muster the troops into
service.
Twelve companies Of infantry are to
be ordered out. Seven or eight OF
them have not volunteered, but reports
are still coming in. On pinch, the
Richmond Howitzers and the battery at
Portsmouth could be converted into
infantry companies. The Governor has
told few gentlemen who applied to
him that they might go ahead and or
gsnze companies, which would be used
if needed.
AS stated yesterday Governor Tyler
will recommend to President Nc
Kinley the appointment of Adjt.-
Gen. William Male TO the COM
mand of the brigade of Virginia
volunteers. Should he be appointed
Colonel G. OBJ CowardiD, who is chief
of the Governors staff with the rank
of assistant adjutant general, would
perform the duties. Gen. A. l. Phil
lips will retain his commission as CON-
mander of the volunteers of the State,
but cannot go the front, owing to i'll
health.
The Norfolk Light Artillery Blues
have declined to serve ss infantrymen.
As an artillery organization the COM
pany will obey any orders issued to it
by the proper authorities, but they will
not 90 other9 ise. The same request
that was made of the Blues was made
of Grimes's Battery, of Portsmouth,
who, it is understood, are averse to en-
listing as infantrymen, but who are
willing to serve as artillery.
Col. Granville Gaines, of the Third |
Regiment, has appointed the following
staff officers Surgeon and major, Will

The Fourth Maryland.

BALTIMORE, April 2S.-Col. Howard
and Lieut.. Col. Supplee, of the Fourth
Regiment, left to-day for Washington
to tender the services of the organiza-
ton as body to the President, thus
practically ignoring the orders of Maj
Gen. Wilmer to dismiss the regim ent
from further at the present Time.
The members of the regiment are
very indignant over what they charac-
terize as an unfair treatment upon the
part OF those in authority and the pro-
liability OF q serious split in the ranks OF
Marelands' miitiamen is becoming
stronger every hour.
