After tho First Serious Encounter the
Powers May Act.
LONDON, April 2S.-The Vienna cor.
respondent of The STANDARD says: 1t
is probably due to complete under.
standing reached between Count Col.
uchowski, the Austro.H Hungarian for.
eign minister, and Prince Hohenlohe,
the German chancellor, that all the in.
spired organs Of the Vienna foreign Of.
fee are propagating the idea that, after
the first serious encounter between
Spain and the United States, the inter.
vention Of the powers will bring the
war to close. The intervention would
sonsist Of a Recommendation that Spain
should give up Cuba, after having
Iaved her honor. It is in keepin with
this idea that the foreign office organs
Express extreme impatience at the
slowness of developments.

CHICAGO, April 2S.-Over 4, 900 fight.
ing men marched out of Chicago dur.
ing the evening bound for the war.
Since the early days of the '6O'sno such
scene has been witnessed in, this city as
transpired in the regimental armories,
in the streets through which the COL
umns marched and around the trains
which bore them to the camping
ground at Springfield. The regiments
which went to the front were the First,
Second and Seventh infantry and the
First cavalry.
For hours before the time set for the
troops to move the streets in front of
their armories were jammed to such an
extent that it made them absolutely
impossible to vehicles. When finally
the regiments moved the cheers
drowned the music of the brass bands
and men and women crowded in upon
the ranks to shake hands with the de.
parting soldiers. Fully 5000 people
followed each Of the regiments to the
trains and at the depots the crowd
proved a serious hindrance to the
movements Of the men.

NOT coNFlRMEDoFFlClALLY

Navy Department Has Heard Nothing Of
Engagements at Havana.
WASHINGTON. April 2S.-The great.
est anxiety was shown at the navy de.
partment for news from the blockading
squadron. Notwithstanding the fre.
quent reports that came from two un.
official sources of engagements between
the fleet and the shore batteries no
word of confirmation came officially.
The three prizes reported to have been
seized by the feet were not referred to
in the official dispatches, but the press
reports of the seizures were received
with the greatest satisfaction by the
officers Of the department, who in some
cases did not hesitate to declare their
envy Of their more fortunate brother
officers with the fleet.

IOWA GUARDS MoBlLIzlNG

Nearly the Entire Quota OF the State
Now at Des Moines.
DEs MONIES, Ia, April 28. Special
trains have brought practically the en-.
tire national guard, with many re-.
cruits, to Des Moines. 1t is estimated
that 2,700 of the required ., 200 men as
Iowa's quota are now on the ground.
The guard falls some short of the re.
quired number and the governor has
issued call for more men, the object
being to fill the quota. A score Of COM
panies outside the guard stand ready to
offer their services in case not enough
ex.guards respond.

BLOCKADE UNCHANGED.

No Firing Reported From the Batteries
or the Elect.
KEY WEST, April 2S.-The torpedo
boat Porter has arrived from off the
Cuban coast. and reports that the posi-.
ton of the blockade continues un.
changed. There has been no firing on
either side.
Lieutenant Juan del Pine of the
Spanish infantry and his orderly were
brought on board the flagship New
York from the gunboat Wilmington, to
whom they had been turned over by
the cruiser Cincinnati. The cruiser
captured the spaniards while they
were in small schooner bound for
Matanzas. Lieutenant Pine was on o
furlough and going to see his wife and
infant child. The child was born last
Friday and he had never seen it. In
these circumstances Rear Admiral
Sampson and Captain Chadwick de.
cided to let the officer and his orderly
go under parole. They were sent
ashore in one Of the newspaper dis.
patch boats.
The news from Matanzas, Cardenas
and Mariel is meagre, but it indicates
that the blockade has been firmly estab.
lished at those ports. The torpedo
boat Foote is reported as having been
fairly on the Matanzas batteries, but
thus far not o single casualty Of any
kind in the feet has been heard Of on
the flagship.

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-At the close

governor of nearly every state and ter
ritory in response to Secretary Alger's
call for information as to the troops the
states and territories will be expected
to furnish under the presidents call tor
5000 men. The tenor Of these re.
plies shows there is no mistaking the
patriotism of the people of this country
in the present emergency. On every
hand there was expressed willingness
to come to the governments aid and
the offers were in excess of the present
demands. The body Of the kilograms
was made up for the greater part of an
enumeration Of what the national
guard had on hand, and for this reason
the reports Of tho governors were not
made public.
Recruiting for the regular army un.
der the Hull army reorganization bill
will be begun at once. A circular has
been prepared giving directions for this

on in the regiments where they are not
located by regimental recruiting boards
and at various army posts throughout
the country.

Proclamation Issued Laying
Down Rules for Guidance
Of Officials.
Believed 1t Will Result in the
Release of Several Cap
tured Ships.

WASHINGTON, April Conditions
in Washington are rapidly settling
down to those of actual war. Notices
came to the state department. from the
four quarters of the globe during the
day showing that the nations, as
rule, are prepared to assume an atti.
tude of strict neutrality as between the
United States and Spain in the pres.
ent struggle. I'm most cases they were
in answer to the identical note sent
out by the state department. to all
United States embassies and legations
instructing them to inform the govern
ments to which they were accredited
that war has existed since April 81.
Great Britain always has taken an ad-
vanced stand in the principles of neu-
trality so that it was with the greatest
interest that the news was received
here of the terms Of the neutrality
proclamation issued in London. On
the whole the officials are disposed to
take the view that the strict adherence
by Great Britain to these rules will be
rather more
Advantageous to the United States
than to Spain, particularly as we now
are operating in the naval sense close to
our own base of supplies, and in all
probability soon will cut Spain off from
the two bases that she now has in the
neighborhood Of Cuba.
The president issued proclamation
during the day laying down rules as to
the seizure of prizes, and the result, it
is believed, will be the release of some
Of the ships already captured, though
it will be for the prize courts to deter.
mine in each case whether the condi.
tions under which the ship was cap.
tured are such as to warrant release.
The impression prevails that the Buena
Ventura, the first on the list of prizes,
will be declared no prize. The case Of
the Panama, whose seizure was re-
ported during the day, is more compli-
Gated, owing to the fact that while 9th.
erwise exempt the ship was reported to
have contained supplies for the Span.
ish army in Cuba, which are contra
band.

THE RICHEST PRIZE YET
Big Steamer Panama Carries a
Valuable Cargo.
SHE Is AN AUXILIARY CRUISER
Has Two Twelvc-2ounders and Could
Easily Have Annihilated the
Little Mangrove.
SHE Is AN AUXILIARY CRUISER

KEY WEST, Fla, April 28.-The
lighthouse tender Mangrove putIed
proudly into Key West harbor during
the morning with the richest prize of
the war thus far. The captive was tho
Panama, Captain Quevedo, a big trans.
atlantic liner and an auxiliary cruiser
Of the Spanish navy, which has been
plying of late between New York and
Havana. She. had ~ passengers, in
Guiding women, Frenchman and l
Mexican and crew of 72: AS the
Panama carried two 12.pounders she
could easily have annihilated the little
Mangrove, and as the latter came into
harbor with her prize there was not q
craft but saluted her with rousing
cheers.
The Captain Grief Stricken.
The Panama is of about 1880 tons
burden and her passengers were mainly
Spanish refugees fleeing from New
York and other points in the United
States to Havana. Captain Quevedo
was grief stricken and greatly humili.
ated because of the capture. The
Panama carries valuable cargo of
general merchandise, including large
quantity of corn. Much of it was
meant to provision the Spaniards in
Cuba, and the cargo. with the ship
itself, undoubtedly makes the richest
prize thus far taken. Under the regu-
,lations, however the battleship Indiana
will share in the prize money, as she
was in sight when the capture was
made.

ST. THOMAS, Danish West Indies,
April 2S.-The situation in Porto Rico
