Instructions Not for an Attack


Washington, April 25.-Rear Admiral
SIMPSONS orders respecting the reduce
ton of Havana contemplate no i'm
mediate bombardment of that city. The
guns which comprise the batteries pro-
tecting the city may shoot as much as
they please at the ships lowering at the
entrance of the harbor, but there will
be no return fire at present. 1t is by
means of the blockade now in progress
that the department proposes to pave
the way toward procuring the capitula-
ton of Havana. How long the block
ade' will be maintained and when the
combined land and naval forces will
make their attack upon the city is
n1atter of pure speculation at this time.
Gomez to Cooperate.
New York, April 25.-A letter from
Gen. Gomez says he will be in front of
Havana before April 20 with 10000 men.
Will Respect blockade.
Washington, April 25.-Members of
the diplomatic corps say that no ques-
tion can be raised as to the right of
the United States to declare blockade.
This being conceded, foreign powers
will accept it as binding.

I'm view Of the measures SO taken. and
with view to the adoption OF such other
measures as may be necessary to enable
me to carry out the expressed will OF the
congress Of the United States in the prem
lses, now recommend to your honor
able body the adoption of joint rssolu-
ton declaring that state OF war
exists between the United States OF Amer
lea and the kingdom of Spain. and l urge
speedy action thereon to the end that the
definition Of the international status Of the
United States as q belliserent power may
be made known, and the assertion OF all its
rights and the maintenance of all Its duties
in the conduct of public war may be as
sured.

War News scarce.
Washington, April 26.-There was q
dearth of news yesterday from the seat
of hostilities off the Cuban coast, SO
far as the department was concerned.
or il it was in possession Of informa-
ton it was SO carefully guarded that
nothing leaked out. Nothing could be
obtained as to the intentions of Com
modore Schley in hastily rushing away
the flyers Columbia and Minneapolis
from Hampton Roads, but it is believed
that their purpose is to shelter the
Paris or some Of the other liners from
attack at the hands of some Spanish
cruiser.
To Arm Insurgents.
Washington, April 2e. Arrange
ments have been completed by the gov
eminent to supply THE Cuban in
surgents with arms and ammunition.
The government is preparing now to
land in Cuba from $4,000 to 10000
stands Of improved Springfield rifles,
number of artillery batteries, rapid
fire Maxim guns and an abundance of
ammunition for the effective use of
them. Gen. Miles believes that II tho
insurgents are properly armed and sup
piled with the artillery they have SO
long needed they can do more effective
work and render the American troops
invaluable aid in driving the Spaniards
from the island.
Roosevelt Resigns.
washington, April 26.-Assistant SEQ
rotary Of the Navy Roosevelt has re-
signed and has been appointed lieuten-
ant colonel of a regiment Of mounted

coming scarce in Havana and the prices
are constantly advancing. There is

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE,

Asks Congress to Adopt a Joint Rcso-
tuition Declaring War with spnin.
Washington, April 26.-The president
yesterday sent to congress the follow
ing message recommending a declara-
ton of war against Spain:
ITO the Senate and House Of Represents.
tives OF the United States of America I
transmit to the congress for Its considera-
ton and appropriate action copies Of corr
dependence recently had with the repre-
sentative of Spain In the United States with
the United States minister at Madrid. and
through the latter with the government
Of Spain, showing the action taken under
tbs joint resolution approved April 20, 1893.
'for the recognition of the Independence Of
the people of Cuba, demanding that the
government of Spain relinquish its
authority and government in the island
Of Cuba, aud to withdraw its land
and naval forces from Cuba and
ident Of the United States to use the land
and naval forces of the United States to
carry these resolutions Into effect
Upon communicating with the Spanish
minister In Washington the demand which
It became the duty of the executive to adj
dress to the government of Spain in obedi-
ence to said resolution. the said minister
asked for his passports and withdrew. The
United States minister at Madrid was in
turn notified by the Spanish minister for
foreign affairs that the withdrawal Of the
spanish representative from the United
States had terminated diplomatic relations
between the two countries. and that all
official communication between their re-
6pective representatives ceased Herewith.
II recommend to your especial attention
the note addressed to the United States
minister at Madrid by the Spanish minis
ter for foreign affairs on the 2lst instant,
whereby the foregoing notification was
conveyed. It will be perceived therefrom
that the government OF Spain. having cog
nizance of the joint re solution of the United
States congress and In view of things which
the president il thereby required and au-
thorized to do. responds by treating the
represent alive demands Of this govern
ment as measures of hostility, following
with that instant and complete severance
Of relations by its action, whereby the
usage Of nations accompanies an existent
state of war between sovereign powers.
1.-THE position of Spain being thus made
known and the demands OF the United
States being denied with a complete rup-
ture Of Intercourse by the act of Spain, I
have been constrained In exercise Of the
power and authority conferred upon me
by the joint resolution aforesaid, to pro-
claim under date of April %, 1898, block
ade Of certain ports Of the north coast of
Cuba. lying between Cardenas and Bahia
Honda, and of the Port Cienfuegos on the
south coast of Cuba: and further, in exer-

Washington, April; 25.-The president
Saturday issued proclamation calling
for 125,0O0 troops, to serve two years,

From ull over the country comes the
answer 10 the call for 1875, 900 volunteers.
Governors of several states telegraphed
to the war department that their quota
rould he easily doubled or trebled. All
want to know if they cannot be permit
ted TO furnish all extra regiment or so.
These messages were very cheering to
the officials Of the war department, but
since there are SO luany who desire to
fight it will be necessary to hold each
state strictly to its own quota. AM
swers to this effect were sent out.
/ Quota by States.
While it is the purpose of the war de-
partment to secure only national
guardsmen as far us possible under this
first call for volunteers, yet in states
where there are no national guards or
where the number falls below the quota
stated in the call, the states will be ex-
pected to supply the volunteers regard
less of their lack of organization. In
fact, this must be done under the law.
