short-lived, however, and all during the

Equal Suffrage Conference.

Rev. Anna Fl. Shaw, who will address
the suffrage conference on Saturday even
ing of this week at the Century Club
was student in the School of Medicine
Of Boston University with our fellow
townswoman, DR.. Barlow. Although
the doctor was freshman when Miss
Shaw was in her senior year, they were
friends and had many interesting talks
in which Miss Shaw's intellectual attain.
ments and natural ability impressed
themselves upon the Doctors mind.
Miss Shaw had previously graduated
in theology from Boston University.
The difficulties which lay in her way
at that time of II woman's securing d
charge, induced Miss Shaw to take ul
the medical course.
Interested in temperance and suffrage,
however, she soon found an open door
to the lecture field in which she has at.
tanned undoubted success.

Postmaster-Genera Gary Resigns.

WASHINGTON, April 2l.-The President
nominated Charles Emory Smith, OF
Philadelphia, to be Postmaster-General,
vice Gary, resigned. Postmaster Gen.
eraI Gary resigned on account Of ill
health. The Pennsylvania Senators
were consulted before Mr.. Smiths ap-
pointment was made.
Senator Wellington Of Maryland, who
is a friend of Postlnaster-GeneralGary and
who secured the la,ter's appointment,
said
IL have not been advised OF the imme-
diate cause OF Postmaster-G General Gary i
resignation, but, knowing his sentiments
ON the present international crisis and
the character of the man. believe he
resigned because he could not agree with
the President on the attitude the latter
has taken toward Spain"
Senator Wellington, it will he recalled,
was one OF the three peace Senators.
The unexpected resignation OF Genera
Gary started the rumor that Secretary
Gage, the other "peace member" Of the
Cabinet, would resign. 1t has been cur.
rent gossip I'm Washington that the
"peace members" so called, would re.
tire together when the signal for hos.
tiities was given, but Secretary Van

SOLDIER BOYS DRILLING
First Regiment Delaware Troops
Preparing for War.
MANY APPLICATIONS IN HAND
The Numbers of Delaware National
Guards Swell.-- f nj thusiasm When
They Paraded Market Street
Last Evening.
MANY APPLICATIONS in HAND

The greater part of yesterday morning
was spent in making arrangements fol
an encampment Of the First Regiment
National Guards of Delaware, by Ad-
jutant- General Garret J. Hart, General
X. L. Holiday, General G. Parke
Postles, General W. NJ. Ross, U. $. A.
and Secretary Of State James II. Hughes.
These preparations are expected to
enable the soldiers to experience camp
life so that they ma be fitted for the
duty which will soon be required of
them.
A bill was presented to the Senate yes
terday afternoon asking for an appro.
priation OF $4,000 for the encampmer
and recruiting the troops up to $40, ;,''ti
it passed the General Assembly and viii
be signed by the Governor this nlul L.
ing.
In all probability General Hart will
issue call for the troops today and they
will go to either Harrington, Lewes or
Delaware City this afternoon.
1t has not been decided to which OF
these three places they will go, but the
opinion seems to point to Harrington.
Superintendent Holiday, OF the Della
ware RAILROAD, stated that the troops
would be transferred by special train to
the fixed place as soon as they are
in readiness.
Col. |. p. Wickersham, when seen last
evening and asked to which of the above
places the regiment will be likely to go,
said:
81 have not as yet received any orders
and do not have the slightest idea"
lie also stated that the compan les
were getting ready to 60 at any
moment and that there would be no
trouble in filling up the ranks to the
number of 64O as applications were
being received every day.
Last night being drill night of the fife
and drum corps and it being u good
night, they marched through the streets
after short drill in the armory. Mar
ket street was one of the streets selected
for this purpose and wien they marched
along playing familiar and patriotic airs,
it created much excitement and many
were the shouts of applause given the
boys. The crowd thought that the
guards had been ordered out and that
they were going to leave town at once.
A large crowd followed them on their
return to the arlnory and waited around
the building in eagerness to see the
result, but when it was learned that it
was only the drill night, they soon dis
persed.

Action Begins Immediately.

Special to THE SrN
WASHINGTON, April 2l.-Yhe state
ment issued by the State Department at
noon today settled all question as to the
status of affairs between Spain and the
United States.
After reviewing the action Of the Presi-
dent in sending the resolutions of Con-
gress to the Spanish Minister at Wash
ington, as well as to the American Min
lister at Madrid, it ends with the state
ment that Spin gave General Woodford
his passports, and thus ended all diplo-
matte relations between the two coun-
tries. In other words, that this is Spain's
answer to the ulti natum, and that
nothing is LETT but action.
The uItimatum was outlined in these
dispatches yesterday, and, as distinctly
stated then, the time given was satnr-
day noon for an answer. General Wood
ford's telegram recites that he had re-
ceived his passports before he could pre-.
sent the ultimatuni, and that he had
asked for safe conduct, and turned over
the Legation to the British Ambassador
and would leave for Paris tonight. He
also stated that he notified the Consuls
in Spain to leave their posts at once.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-The Cabi'

The President and the Cabinet held a
session this afternoon for the purpose OF
ordering the opening hostilities. Inc
action OF Spain in sending General
Woodford his passports and IN starting
its fleet across the ocean, is considered
bv the Administration to be a declara-
ton of war, and that us Spain has made
the declaration there is no necessity for
Congress to formally pass a resolution
declaring war.
A. soon as the President heard OF
Spain's action he issued Il call for the
Cabinet meeting at 3 o'clock this after.
noon. But meanwhile, the Board OF
Strategy of the Navy Department. held
it's meeting and advised the President to
order the smiling of the naval vessels at
once so the President at noon changed
the time for the meeting of the Cabinet,
and called them together at | O'Clock.
The first thing done was to lay before
the Cabinet the report Of the Board, and
decide to move the ships. The President
was greatly annoyed at the report OF the
slow movements OF the fleet, and ex-
pressed himself as determined that they
should be moved with more rapidity.
The Cabinet ordered the Secretary OF
War to send instructions to all com
manding oEcers that the troops must
move south within the next ten hours,
and that no further delay would be tol,
Grated. =.
The Cabinet decided that there shall
be no further delay, and that things

Spain's First Step Justified Ours.

Special to THE Sun.
WASHINGTON, April 2l.-War is actual.
ly on, but the opposing forces are not IN
position to come into immediate col
lision Until gun has been fired, it is
said the President will not askCongrcss to
declare war.
Spain has taken the first step and the
United States is justified in ordering her
fleets to move and prepare to invade
Cuba.
Spain had hoped to play trick upon
this Government. and break off diplo
matte relations before the ultimatum
could be sent. The President, however,
trumped their trick, and Spain officially
received the nltimatum yesterday before
noon, through her accredited Minister,
and therefore today her sending General
Woodiord his passports, and completely
severing diplomatic relations between
the wo countries is equivalent to a dec
Iaration Of war
The Key West feet has moved on Cuba
while the flying squadron has proceeded
to Porto Rico expecting to reach there
before the Spanish feet and to give
battle when they arrive. The Board
was in session about an hour, and after
completing their arrangements they re-
ported to Secretary Long and he left at
once for the White House to take the
report to the President and get his APP
proval.
Last night, following her diplomatic
course, Spain ordered her entire fleet to
sail from the Cape Verde Islands, where
it rendczvoused, and under sealed orders
it proceeded westward. The Navy De-
partmcnt was Officially notified of the de-
parture OF the fleet this morning, and this
fact came almost simultaneous with the
cable from General Woodfood that Spain
had severed diplomatic relations.
At the Navy Department the news OF
the sailing OF the Spanish fleet from Cape
Verde was followed by the convcning OF
the Board OF Strategy, and the situation
was discussed. This move was taken as
the first step Of Spain for actual war.
