I C1LL TO
ARMS
The President Asks the
Country to Furnish
Volunteers.,.
FIRST TIME IN THIRTY YEARS
The Call Is for 195,000 Men to Fight
the Spaniards Apportionment of the
Volunteers by States National Guard
Will Have Preference.
Washington, April 26. The presi-
dent today called upon the people, oi
the United States, for the first time in
80 years, to i manifest their martial
strength, the call this time being to a
united people to go forth to battle
with a foreign country. The call is for
125,000 volunteers. . The secretary of
war created a new army corps. The
two, taken together, with regular airny
soon will move on Cuba, and that
meanhile the volunteers will be equip
ped and drilled.
The president's proclamation, while
eotually issued, was not certified to the
governors of the states and territories,
sod will not be until Wednesday. The
reason is twofold. In the first place,
the war department wishes to avoid
destroying the present organization of
the National Guard, which is to be
called into service first. The Guard
regiments are composed of 12 com
panies, and being officered more nu
merously that the regular army, would
have to be ohanced to correspond to
the army organization in order to com
civ with the order as it exists. The
pending Gull bill, however,, provides
for meeting just such an emergency,
and permits the use of the National
Guard, as organized. This is more
impotant than would appear at first,
inasmuch as manv of the National
Guard have volunteered only on condi'
tion that they may serve as now organ
ized. The second consideration which in
ifluenced the department in postponing
the certification of the call until
Wednesday is a desire to make sure
that adequate arrangements oan be
completed by quartermasters and the
commissary departments for feeding
and transporting the number of men
called for. J. ma is no light tastt, as
the volunteers must be taken by the
government at a certain point in
each state where they are to be col
looted by the governors.
The Proclamation.
The president's proclamation fol
lows:
"By the President of the United
States A Proclamation:
"Whereas, By act of congress, en
titled an sot to provide for the increas
ing of the military establishment ot
the United States in time of war, and
for other purposes, approved April 22,
1898, the president was authorized, in
order to raise a volunteer army, to is
ue his proclamation calling for volun
teers to serve in the army of th
United States.
"Now, therefore, I, William Mc-
Kinley, president of the United States,
by virtue of the power vested in me by
the constitution and by-laws, and
deeming sufficient occasion to exist,
buve thought fit to call, and hererby do
call, for volunteers to the aggregate
number of 125,000 to oarry into effect
the purpose of said resolution, the
same to be apportioned as far as prac
ticable among the several states and
territories and the District of Colum
bia, according to population, and to
cerve for two years, unless sooner dis
charged. The details of this order will
be immediately communicated to the
proper authorities through the war de
partment.
"In witness whereof, I have here'
onto set my hand and caused the seal
cf the United States to be affixed.
"Done at Washington, this 23d day
of April, 1898, and of the independence
of the United States the 122d.
"WILLIAM M'KINLEY
"By the President,
"JOHN SHERMAN,
"Secretary of State."
Telegrams have been coming from
every sestion to Secretary Alger from
governors and militia officers convey'
ing information as to the length of
time, surprisingly short, in many
cases, that would be required by them
to gather their forces ready for muster,
Points of Mobilisation.
The men, as fast as mustered in by
regular army officers in the various
states, will be brought to one of tin ee
great depots, viz.. Washington, Rich'
mond or Atlanta, where they will be
organized to meet the requirements of
ordinary army tactics.
The fact that Richmond is named as
one of these points is taken in some
quarters as an evidence that General
Fitzhugh Lee is to receive a volunteer
commission, either as one of the four
major-generals or as one of the
nine brigadier-generals provided for,
It is believed to have been
largely at his instance that Richmond
was selected as one of the points of
concentration.
In anticipation of the president's
call, vast numbers of letters and tele
grams have begun to flow in on Secre
tary Alger, offering service as volun'
teers in the army. So numerous are
those communications that the secre
tary has asked the press to notify the
people that such communications
should be directed to the governors of
states and territories.
FIRED ON TrE FLEET.
Motto Castle Opened on the North At
lantic Squadron.
On Board the Flagship New York,
off Havana, April 26. During the
early morning, the Morro castle' bat
teries again opened fire on the fleet,
but without the slightest effect. There
have been no casualties among our
forces up to this hour, and not a single
shot has been fired against the batteries.
At 8 o'clock this morning the De
troit mdae a rich haul, oapturing the
Spanish merchant steamer Catalina,
bound for Cadiz. She carried a large
quantity of provisions, which she in
tended to land in Havana.
Ensign Christy, from the Detroit,
and four marines and six bluejackets
were put on board of her and she
steamed off for Key West.
The Wilmington and Porter, when
dawn broke, were both seen towing
prizes in the shape of small schooners.
The Wilmington's oapture was laden
with charcoal, and the Porter s, the
Sophia, had rum and sugar aboard.
They were bot"h towed to Key West.
The torpedo-boat Porter, commanded
by Lieutenant Fiemont, is doing great
Work, and if she keeps on at this rate,
her orew will have no end of prize
money to divide.
About 9 o'clock this morning, the
New York proceeded several miles
closer inshore. Not a breath of wind
stirred; the sea and the heat was ter
rible. An Effective Blockade.
On Board the Flagship New York, off
Havana, April 25. Morro castle
opened fire on the fighting squadron of
the United States, at 11 o clock last
night. About 10 Bhots were Bent in
the direction of our ships. . Not one of
them took effect, and no shots were
fired in return.
The Spaniards evidently had seen the
lights of the New xork while the latter
was signaling to a ship of the squadron
The fire wa9 reported by the officer of
the deck, EnBign J. R. Edito, to Cap
tain Chadwick, who was asleep at the
time. The young officer asked the cap'
tain in command whether the New
York had not better discontinue sig'
aling.
"No," muttered Captain Chadwick,
with the utmost coolness. "There is
no necessity for stopping the signals
Go ahead."
A little later, Captain Chadwick was
on the forward bridge, whence he
watched the tongues of flame shoot out
from Morro castle. He glanced in the
direction of the Spanish fortifioations
for a few seconds, and then turned his
back on them in silent contempt, and
went back to his bed, perfectly certain
the Spaniards could do no damage at
five miles, which was then the approxl
mate distance of the flagship from
Morro castle.
Another officer said:
"The Spaniards probably became
nervous and decided they oould not
sleep without some fireworks. They
can't hit anything anyway."
There was no excitement on board
the flagship during Morro castle's futile
attempt at gunnery. The discipline
was really splendid, in iaot, at tin
hour many people on board the flagship
do not know that Spain's first guns of
war have been fired, and that the New
York was their target.
Morro castle light, whioh was burn
ing brightly all the evening, was put
out at midnight. The Spaniards evi
dently realized, though rather late, that
the sole use of Morro lights at that
time had been to serve as a guide for
the fleet of the United States.
No Fears for the Oregon.
Washington, April 26. The most
important development today in regard
to the movements of the various ships
of the navy was an official statement
issued by Secretary Long to the effect
that the department is fully aware of
the whereabouts of the battle-ehi
Oregon and the gunboat Marietta, but
for prudent reasons positively declines
to say where the vessels are, whet);
or not they have been ordered to return
to San Francisco, or, in fact, to make
any statement respecting them, further
than that it has no apprehension for
their safety.
It is known that the department has
taken steps to have the commander of
the Oregon met by friends and warned
of the outbreak of hostilities and of th
presence of a Spanish torpedo gunboat
at Buenos Ay res in the path of the
wahsrip on her way to the North At
lantio squadron.
Three More frizes.
New York, April 26. A dispatch to
the Press from Key West says: The
gunboat Wilmington captured the
Spanish schooner Candiga,with a deck
load of charcoal for Havana, where it
is extremely valuable lor fuel. At
this writing, the Cushing is hearing
down on a schooner to the southeast.
The breeze is slow and while she has
on all sail, the Cushing will overhaul
her shortly. She has the start, but
the Cushing has the steam. The tor
pedo boat Porter today captured the
Spanish schooner Antonio, laden with
sugar for Havana. The Antonio w
sent to Key est with a prize crew of
four men, under Cadet Dubers.
. Key West, April 26. The govern
ment has taken control and all press
matter will be handled subject to the
decision of the censor. Telegraphic
communication with Havana has been
abandoned.
They Call It Piracy.
Madrid April 28. The capture of
the Spanish steamer Buena Ventura by
a United States gunboat off Key West
has aroused great indignation, the
Spaniards claiming that hostilities are
not yet supposed to have begun. Th
citizens of the city characterize the
seizure as an act of piracy, being in
defiance of international law, and
"characteristic of the Yankees."

HE PRESIDENT REQUESTED IT
The Measure Went Through Without a
Dissenting Vote Naval Appropria
15111 Passed Secretary Sherman Re
signsJudge Day Appointed.
Washington, April 27. A formal
declaration that war exists between the
United States and Spain passed ' both
branches of congressjtoday, , The dec
laration was made in accordance with
the recommendation of the president,
ngrafted in a message sent to congress
this morning. The measure was first
adopted by the house, and later agreed
to by the senate. ;
The senate passed the , naval appro
priation bill, carrying large amounts
of money for the improvement of our
sea-fighting arm of the federal service.
The Hull army reorganization bill was
passed by the senate, and now goes to
conference; Secretary Sherman Te
signed, as ohlef of the state depart
ment, to be succeeded by Assistant SeO'
retary Day, and the latter by John B,
Moore, of New York, an acknowledged
authority on international law, and the
war department called on the several
states for their quota to the volunteer
armv of the United States.
These make up the important events
of the day.
It was not announced when Secre
tary Sherman's resignation would take
effect, the secretary abandoned his
original idea of leaving at once, and it
is thought he will remain until Judge
Day qualifies as his successor. The
selection of Judge Moore, who is now
professor of Jaw at Columbia university,
New York, to succeed the latter, was
warmly welcomed by all of the state
department employes.
A prize commissioner was appointed
this afternoon in the person of Com
mander John A. Wynne, a retired naval
officer. He will be stationed at Key
West, where he now resides, and it will
be his duty in conjunction with two
other members, to be seleoted as a part
of the commission, to make appraise
ments of the value of prizes and to
assist the prize courts in their work.
A few telegrams came from Key
West, announcing the arrival there of
the prizes whose oapture has been re
ported through the press. Nothing
oould be obtained as to the intentions
of Commodore Schley in so hastily
rushing away the flyers Columbia and
Minneapolis from Hampton Roads, but
it is believed that their purpose is to
shelter the Paris or Borne of the liners
from attack of some Spanish cruisers.
There was talk of establishing a supply
depot in the Philippines to meet the
conditions in Asiutic waters. Our fleet
there now has no home, and under
neutrality laws, the stay of the ships
at any port is limited to a few hours.
This is unpleasant, besides involving
the expenditure of a great deal of ooal,
so that it may become necessary for
Commodore Dewey to Beize a port in
the Philippines and fortify it as a base
of supplies.
The department today purohased two
tugs, the Hortense, of New Orleans,
and the Mary Willick, of Galveston.
The feature of interest at the war
department was the dispatch to the
governors of the states and territories,
of circulars, notifying them how many
men they would be expected to furnish
as volunteers, how they should be ap
portioned among the three arras of the
service, and where they should rendez
vous as a United States army. A good
many details to be arranged in order to
carry out the project for the mobiliza
tion of the volunteers, but these are
rapidly being disposed of.
The rendezvous for the troops to be
mustered in the service of the volun
teer army in the Pacific states and ter
ritories has been designated by Secre
tary Alger as follows:
California San Francisco.
Colorado Denver.
Idaho Boise.
Montana Helena.
Oregon Portland.
Utah Ogden.
Wyoming Cheyenne.
THE BLOCKADE PERFECT.
vigorous Chasing of Every Moving
Light That Appears,
On Board the Flagship New York,
off Havana, April 27. The early
morning hours today were taken up by
a vigorous chasing of moving lights.
The only vessels spoken were the Brit
ish schooner Iolanthe, of Windsor, N.
S. She was allowed to proceed. She
was just out of Matanzas. No shots
have been fired sinoe yesterday morn
ing on either side. The Dolphin and
the yacht Eagle arrived from Key West
this morning. The Dolphin carried
the officers and prize crews who had
been placed on the steamer Pedro and
the schooner Antonio. All were glad
to get back, although they said they
had bad no trouble with their prizes.
The torpedo-boat Porter made a dar
ing trip into the shore under cover ot
darkness last night, and Lieutenant
Fremont, her commander, landed with
a small party and obtained valuable
information. The blockade continues
under beautiful weather conditions.
Washington, April 27. Socretary
Long this afternoon said Captain Samp
son had been appointed acting rear-
admiral.
THE WAR RESOLUTIONS
Adopted by the Senate and Agreed to
by the House.
Washington, April 27. Following '
is the text of the report of the house
foreign affairs committee, formally
declaring that war exists betweon the
United States and Spain, as adopted
by the house and agreed to by the sen
ate today:
"Be it enacted by the senate and
the house of representatives of the

THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
Full Text of Document Recommending
Passage of War .Resolution.
Washington, April 27. The presi
dent today sent to congress the follow
ing bill recommending the passage of a
declaration of war against Spain:
To the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives of the United States of
America: 1 transmit to congress for
its consideration and appropriate action
copies of correspondence recently had
with the representative of Spain in the
United States, with the United States
minister at Madrid, and through the
latter with the government of Spain,
showingtho action taken under joint
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 and withdraw its land and
naval forces from Cuba and Cuban
waters and directing the president of
the United States to use the land and
naval forces of the United States to
carry these resolutions into effect.
Upon communicating to the Spanish
minister in Washington the demand
which it became the duty of the execu
tive to address to the government of
Spain in obedienoe to said resolution,
said minister asked tor his passports
and withdrew. The United States
minister at Madrid was in turn notified
by the Spanish representative that the
United States had terminated diplo
matic relations between the two coun
tries, and all offioial commuunicationB
between their respective representatives
ceased therewith.
I recommend to your attention the
note directed to the United States min
Ister at Madrid by the Spanish rain
ister of foreign affairs on the 21st inst.
whereby the foregoing notification was
communioated. It will be perceived
that the Spanish government, having
oognizance of the resolutions, and in
view of the things which the president
is hereby required and authorized to
do, responds by treating the representa
tive demands of this government as
measures of hostility, following with
that instant and complete severance of
relations by its action
The position of Spain being thus
made known and the demands of the
United States being denied with a com
plete rupture in the intercourse with
Spain, I have been constrained in the
exercise of the power and authority
conferred upon me by the joint reBOiu
tion aforesaid to proclaim under date
of April 22, 1898, a blockade of cer
tain ports on the north ooast of Cuba
lying between Cardonas and Bahia
Honda and the port of Cienfuegos on
the Bouth coast of Cuba, and further in
the exercise of my constitutional pow
ers and using the powers conierred on
me by act ot oongress, approved Apri
22, 1808, to issue my proclamation
dated April 23, 1808, calling for volun
teers in order to oarry into effect said
resolution of April 20, 1808. CopieB
of this proclamation are hereunto ap
pended.
In view of the measures so taken
and with the view to the adoption
suoh war measures as may be neces
sary to enable me to carry out the ex
pressed will of the congress to the
United States in the premises, 1 now
recommend to your honorable body the
adoption of a joint resolution declarin
that a state of war exists between the
United States of America and the
kingdom of Spain, and I urge speedy
action thereon to the end that a den
nition of the international status
the United States as a belligerent
power may be made known and the aS'
sertion of all its duties in the conduct
of the publio war may be assured.

WITHOUT A ROLL-CALL.
Impressive Manner In Which the IIouis
Passed the War Bill.
Washington, April 27. The house
today passed the bill declaring t,he exist
tence of a state of war between the
United States and the kingdom of
Spain in a manner which cannot fail to
impress the world. The representatives
of 70,000,000 people voted for it without
a word of debate, without a dissenting
vote, and without a roll-call, but with
a solemn appreciation of the gravity ot
their momentous action. It required
out one minute and 41 seconds to
complish this. The bouse was uonsid
ering an election case, and simply
paueed to declare war. There was no
excitement, no cavil, no word or ques
tion. It was only in the great cheer
that went up from the floor and galler
ies when Speaker Reed announced its
passage that the tremendous import of
the act and the expression behind it
was shown. After the president's
message was read, the committee on
foreign affairs framed the resolution,
Acting Chairman Adams wrote the re
port, and it was passed and on its way
to the senate in an hour and 6 minutes.
TO SUCCEED GARY.
Charles Emory Smith Named
for Tost-
master-General.
Washington, April 23. The presi-
ent sent this nomination to the senate
today:
Charles Emory Smith, of Pennsyl
vania, to be post-master-general, vice
ames A, Gary, resigned.
It is stated at the White House that
the resignation of Postmaster-General
Gary had absolutely nothing to do with
our foreign complications. It was
owing entirely to the condition of
Gary's health. He has been suffering
from a general breaking down of the
system. The new postmaster-general is
editor of the Philadelphia Press.
Co-Operation of Cubans.
Washington, April 23. Brigadier-
Generals Nunez and Castillo, of the
Cuban insurgent army, are now asso
ciated with the active work of the
Cuban delegation here, and their recent
confer je with Major-General Miles,
commander of the army, is looked upon
as suggesting possible co-operation of
the insurgent forces in the event of an
attack by the United States troops on
the Spanish foroes in Cuba.
At the Cuban legation, no statement
would be made as to the conference,
but Senor Albertino, first secretary,
said the Cubans would most gladly co
pe-rate with the United States forces,
if oo-operation was desired. At pres
ent, he said, there were 35,000 Cubans
in arms, and there would be a general
uprising as soon as the. foroes ' began to
attack Havana. ,
An Alliance Possible.
New York, April 28. A Herald dis
patch from Washington says: Henry
White, secetary of the American em'
basay, in London,' is here on a diplo
matic mission in connection with the
relations of this government with that
of Great Britain, and the particular re
lations growing out of the situation be
tween this country and Spain. One
official high in administration circles
said that Mr. White is here in connec
tion with the preparation of a now
treaty between the United States and
Great Britain, something on the line,
ho believed, of the arbitration treaty
which failed last year. He only knew
that some kind of negotiations were in
progress, and that Mr. White is here
in connection with them.
Cheers In Commons.
London, April 23. Replying in the
house of commons to Sir Arthur Bower
Norwood, conservative, Mr. Balfour,
the government leader and acting sec
retary of state for foreign affairs, said
that in regard to neutral vessels, the
government bad received from the
United States a notification that it
would adhere to the principle of the
treaty of Paris. The announcement
was greeted with oheers. Mr. Balfour
announced that no answer on the sub
ject had yet been received from Spain.
Frenchmen Side With Spain.
London, April 23. The Pans corre
spondent of the Times says: There Is
not a single French paper, nor even, I
believe, a single Frenchman, who sup
ports the United States. The news
from Spain indioates that the national
subscription will total 30,000,000. It
is said that all able-bodied men are
ready to take up arms. All the Span
iards that I meet are convinced that
serious resistance is useless, yet they
are all oonvinced that Spain will not
yield, but will fight all the more ad'
mirably because the fighting is tor
honor.
Passed the Senate.
Washington, April 23. Three im
portant measures were passed by the
Benate this afternoon, each of which
related largely to the national defense.
The sundry civil bill, which has been
pending for weeks, and which carries a
large amount of money intonded to be
naed in the strengthening of the coun
try's defenses, wbb finally passed. The
naval appropriation bill was imme
diately tuken up and practically com
pleted. A joint resolution was adopted,
giving the president power to prevent
the exportation of coal and other war
material.
The Spanish CortAs.
Madrid, April 23. In the Spanish
senate today, MarBhal Martinez Campos
asked the minister for foreign affairs,
Gullon, to make a statement regarding
the relations of Spain and the United
States, whereupon the latter replied
that the relations were broken off. The
ex-captain-general of Cuba then made a
patriotic speech, in which he declared
that Cuba will never lose her Spanish
sovereignty.
Charles Fiester Sentenced.
Grants Pass, Or., April 23. Judge
Hale this afternoon pronounced the
death sentence upon Charles Fiester,
the wife-murderer, fixing Friday, June
10, as the date of execution,
Fiestor broke completely down and
wept like a child,
Fiester drowned his wife in a pool ot
water in May, 1808.
Naval and Military Preparations.
Washington, April 23. With ths
actual beginning of war, military and
naval preparations were vastly stimu
lated today. The navy bought a ship
and numbei of yachts. It secured
some more material for guns and re
newed orders for haste in the construc
tion of guns. Orders were sent to the
squadrons to guard their movements
and the preliminaries of a blockade
were executed.
Secretary Long has decided to assign
Commodore Howell to command the
niwly organized patrol fleet, consisting
of the Yosemite, Prairie, Yankee and
Dixio. Secretory Long was very anx
ious to avail himself of the experience
of Commodore Howell, but found some
difficulty in doing so, in view of the
fact that he outranks both Schley and
Sampson, in command of the two fleets.
Neither of these officers oould in justice
have been relieved to make room for
the former commander of the European
squadron.
WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Trade Conditions in the Leading Citiee
of the World.
Reported by Downing, Hopkins & Co., inc..
Board of Trade Brokers. 711 to 7H Chamber ol
Commerce building, Portland, Oregon.
The prospect of arranging peaceably
the differences betwen Spain and this
country began to disappear about the
opening of this month. Foreign buy
ing of cash wheat began then in a
liberal Way and continued on a larger
scale than the the speculators would
at the time believe. Between March
30, when Leiter reported 2,500.000
bushels sold abroad in one transaction,
and the middle of last week, when in
two days he reported 1,800,000 bush
els, his sales of spot were almost 6,-
000,000 bushels. Within that same
period he kept disposing of May on the
hard spots, possibly in the two weeks
to the extent of 2,000,000 bushels.
Last Friday the enormous July sales
effeoted through Cudahv, estimated
by different people from 5,000,000 to i
8,000,000 buBhels. That drew atten
tion to the enormous liquidation of Mar
and cash that had been quietly effected
during a fortnight. It did not re
quire long retrospection to make plain
that within less than three weeks the
Leiter selling of cash, May and July
had aggregated from 12,000,000 to 15,
000,000 bushels. What has made this
possible was demonstrated Saturday,
when, in spite of the known enormous
Belling of the - largest holder, the for
eign markets oame higher and foreign
orders were received on a scale to
rally prices two cents a bushel. At
the olose of last week traders were
agreed that the one man influences, so
all important for a year, had at last
been supplanted by broader ones; that
what Leiter did would not be
nearly so influential for the future as
what the foreigners did and that orop
prospects and receipts and exports and
the other circumstances, of whioh one
operator might learn as well as another.
would become the improtaut factors
again.
