Indiana Mineral Springs. Ind, April %
Especial Correspondence w arlIke dis
patches IN the morning newspapers stirred
W general discussion among half score of
gentlemen IN a corner of the smoking room
of the Indiana Mineral Springs Hotel today
Several veterans of the civil war VINO have
been regaining health by means OF the
MagnO Mud Baths and Lithia Water here
took . lively interest in the discussion
Many interesting stories OF the late con-
fict were told.
In the campaign before Richmond in
the last months of the war. said Capt. H
>. Cole, of Fergus Falls, Mimi. Il was
guilty OF distortion of an order that. had
the battle which it caused been a defeat for
Us, would have had sad results for me;
fortunately the falsehood told rescued US
from perilous position and we won a
victory.
Capt. Coles regiment was the famous
First Maine Cavalry which by special
order of the War Department has seven
more battles on its colors than any other
carried by any regiment in the Union
army. The First Maine also has the record
of having turned more of its troopers into
preachers at the close of hostilities than
any other regiment of the northern army,
while several of the men who have been
governors of the Pine Tree state since 1865
were at the front with the First Maine
But it was while he ON the staff of Gen.
Chas. F. Smith, who commanded brigade
of the Second Cavalry corps. the head of
which was Gen. ID. McGregg, one Of the
best cavalry captains in the north or south.
that the incident happened.
Our brigade was in a desperate condi-
ton said Capt Cole. when Gen. Smith
sent me to ask Gen McGregg for reinforce
ments. l found the Pennsylvania fighters
and delivered my message. He thought
fully strOked his beard.
'''Give my compliments TO Gen. Smith,
he said and tell him he can't have -
reinforcement 1t was the first time /
ever heard Gen. McGregg swear. and l was
convinced that it was due to the serious
condition of his command. / was also con-
WINGED shat our brigade should fight its

his superior's orders.

British Authority Quoted.

As ii happened. no ships other than
Greek attempted to enter Cretan ports
during the blockade and there was there
fore no test of the question whether this
blockade was binding on neutral govern
ments or even on the citizens of one of
the six powers At the time Sir Walter
baltimore. who is a strong authority up
on international law. put the case of the
rights of the British citizens as follows:
One would wish 10 know whether the gov
eminent has consulted it's legal advisers
as to certain eventualities which are not
unlikely to follow upon this so-called
blockade of Crete. Supposing that a Brit
ish ship. seeing chance of doing good
trade in provisions. sails for a port in
Crete. She will be perfectly within her
legal rights. and it will be illegal TO stop
her. We are not AT war with Crete or
Greece. So it will not be a case of trad
ing with an enemy, and nothing short of
act of parliament can take away the
right of any British subject TO go TO or
trade with Crete.
Suppose this ship is stopped and turned
back. There will be an irresistible claim
for damages at the suit of the sufferers
against the captain of the British man-of-
war. Suppose she is fired at and sunk.
The damages will be greater. Suppose
one of her crew is drowned. l see no de-
Tense to an Indictment for murder
There have been repeated other instan-
ceS, but in most of them no one other
than the blOckading and the blockaded
powers had any occasion to contrave1e
their rules. OF course. the blockaded
powers would have gone TO war at any
time, in resistance. hut in most instances
it did not to do When it did.
the blockade. of course, became a leg-
innate war measure. subjecting neutral
ships that tried to run in to capture. in
stead of merely TO being prevented and
turned back. Hence it was to the adj
vantage Of neutral powers not to force
the blOckader TO transform his rights,
and the exact question has passed I'M
settled.

Precedents Pointed To.

Several presidents may be noted. In
1877, when Greece was fighting for inde-
pendence from Turkey. three powers.
France, Russia and England blockaded
all the Greek coast where the Turkish
armies We're encamped. They stated that
this was a pacific measure despite the
fact that il was intended to paralyze the
Turkish armies. The sultan did not con-
slider il so. and to prevent hostile action
by his fleet 1t was destroyed by the Brit
ish at the battle of Navarino. In 1881
France blockaded the Tagus in order TO
compel Portugal to pay certain claims
against her. Otherwise peace was not in
terrupted, and Portugal finally gave up
and France restored the vessels she had
captured. In 1893 France and Great Brit
ain exercised a pacific blockade against
Holland until she permitted Belgian in
dependence TO become established. In
1888 France blockaded Mexican ports pro-
testing the while that her intentions were
friendly. Mexico. however. resented this
act and declared war. Practically hos
tlities did not take place. apd after two
years peace was made. In the same year
France and Great Britain together insti-
tuted a pacific blockade against Argen-

Move to blockade Havana.

The next official step i'm the war was
taken by the dispatching of the Key West
squadron to sail for Havana, and block
ade that port. The ships of this squad
ron set sail from Key West at 2:35 Friday
morning. April % The vessels of this
squadron are: Iowa. New York. Indiana.
Marb!ehead Montgomery, Detroit and tor
pedo and dispatch boats. The whole sailed
under command of Captain Sampson. new
rear admiral of the United States navy.
Captain Evans c'Fighting Bob'D com
mands the Iowa. Capt. McCalla COM
mands the Marblehead.
Captain SIMPSONS white squadron is
one OF the most formidable fleets ever
gathered together in any waters.
I represents the stiffest fighting
material that modern naval archi-
lecture and the science of the
new gunnery can construct. IT is COM
posed of some of the biggest and most eff
fective of the war ships in the American
navy, and can be surpassed by no nation
in the world for the fighting devices with
which ii is equipped. Without going into
a detailed description of the ships that
Captain Sampson has under his control
il may be said that they are all capable
of doing such destruction as the mind
reels from when one tries TO picture it,
Captain Sampson can. by a simple signal
turn loose upon Havanas fortress a storm
of projectiles calculated to reduce old
Morro's ponderous walls to heap of
ruins. Steel projectiles 1000 pounds in
weight can be hurled from the 13-inch
guns. Every such discharge costs the peo-
pie of the United States matter of 500
per gun. Every 13-inch gun at every dis
charge gives a pressure of two and one
fourth tons to the square inch on the
protected deck. SIMPSONS squadron
represents a power worthy of the mighty
nation whose standard it carries into the
seas of the enemy. Commanding these
boats are some of the ablest sea fighters
in the American navy. Officers and men
alike are as eager for action as the men,

TO DEFEND CITY.
Blanco Lays Plans to Repel United

Havana at once began making ready for
defense against the forces of the United
States. All the papers Thursday after
noon published a notice issued by General
Blanco. 1t notifies the public of the alarm

bic for protection. 1t also designates the
places that will be occupied by the regu-
lar Spanish soldiers the volunteers and
the firemen the moment that il will be

circular that was distributed throughout
the city inviting every Spaniard in Ha-
Vana-regular soldiers, volunteers. fire

demonstration as protest against the
actions of the United States a tremendous
procession moved through the streets. II
