ready to start for the attack
at Manilla as soon as notice

declaration of war. The fleet
consists of the Baltimore,
Yorktown, Raleigh, Olympia,
Monterey and Boston, which
makes one of the most for
midable fleets in the Asiatic
waters.
Washington, April 20.
All the naval officers on duty
hero today are talking of the
daring exploit of Lieutenant
John C.-Freemontson of the
famous general, An making
the landing from his little
vessel, the torpedo-boat Por
tor, on the Cuban coast near
Matanzas. (
Confirming press dispatches
telling of the exploit come to
the department -today from
Captain Sampson, who cabled
that the expedition was suc
cessful in evory regard. The
purpose of the expedition was
to deliver dispatches to the
emissary of the insurgent
army.
It has not been definitely
ascertained, but there- are good
reasons to believe that an of
ficor of the United States
army, who was on the Porter,
is now proceeding to Gomez'
camp with full plans to sub
mit to tho insurgpnt chief for
eb-oporation betwoen that and
tho American armies.

Key West, April 20. The following
is a translation of all important news
printed in La Lucha, Havana, Monday,
April 25th, under the head "False
News :"
"All rumors that have been recentlv
circulated in' regard to possible bom
barduient 0f, this city are without foun
dation. We will advise our readers
promptly when bombardment is likely
to occur. The .enemy ia in light
blockade astolIows: They are within
range of our batteries, these monstrous
battleships, these eriortnouBBaby Whales
which McKinlOy has sent us in order to
inspire us to panic and deprive us of
sustenance. They give us courage;
their presence here fills us with enthu
siasm and incites us to combat. If thev
luive not done us violence it is only be
cause the deeired instant has not ar
rived ; because they havu't placed them
selves in a position to start the ball roll
ing. "The blockade has been broken by
steamship Availes coming from Caraco
Siipua.de Furino and Kuevitae, and by
steamship Cob mode Herrera coming
from Sagua La Grande. These vessels
arrived at this port without news end
without having seen, anything worth
mentioning. On their voyages both
ships knew of the blockade and came
with all the precaution which the case
demanded ; hugging the coast like stick
ing plaster, preferring to run aground
rather than he captured. It is worthy
of notice that these vessels having much
less speed than they should have, and
which it is supposed that American war
ships have, broke the blockade whicli
Americans undertook to establish.
"It is said that last night 500 Ameri
can Negroes disembarked with Lacret
Morlah at Bambouranoo. Cavalry and
infantry were in hot pursuit.
"On Saturnay afternoon coast steam
ship Availes entered port from Nueritis
with seventeen passengers, giving the
laugh to the blockade line established
by the Americon squadron."
Out luilde the Line.
Kingston, Jamaica, April 20. Tho
steamer Telesfora, which was bound
from Galveston to Manchester with a
cargo of gram and cotton, was sighted
and pursued at the highest speed by an
American cruiser today. Although the
Telesfora carried every pound of steam
her boilers would permit, the cruiser
galued on her rapidly, but the Spaniards
got inside the 3-mlle limit before tho
cruiser got within range, and eecaped.
She is anchored hero at present.

Honolulu, April 19. via.
San Francisco, April 26. The
raising of the American flag
on the Hawaiian islands did
not take place Thursday, as
expected, but it is believed
that the stars and stripes will
be hoisted as soon as the news
of the declaration of war
is received.
The statement is not denied
by either the American min
ister or Admiral Miller, while
on the other hand the latter
said that his mission was to,
annex the island. '
Considerable influence has
been brought to bear on Pres
ident Dole by his subjecta,tb
the end that the islands be
declared neutral, as many of
the pugar-planters fear their
plantations will be ruined by
Spanish gunboats.
Dole arid his advisers rec
ognize the fact that such a
course would be fatal to an
nexation and reciprocity treat
ies, and for that reason has
refused to comply with the re
quests. Many supporters of the gov
ernment predict that the stars
and stripes will be floating
over the islands in a fortnight.

New York, April 26. Madrid and
more than 20, of the largest towns in
Spain are in the hands of t lie mob
several hours every day, says ilie Madrid
correspondent of the World. The gov
ernment lias permitted "patriotic"
demonstrations as the best mean a of
giving vent to popular excitement. All
was well as long as they were ex
pressions of animosity toward America
ebullitions in anticipating of victory
over a foreigner always an object of
hate and suspicion with the Soanieh
masses but now the demonstrations
are getting beyond control.
The government is anxious and the
better classes are alarmed, The police
notice already in the thrones many
socialists, anarchists and republicans,
who may quickly turn these demonstra
tions Into aatl-dyuastio or luiti-inoo-
archical movements or at least upset the
cabinet, Todav news came of a serious
reverse beyond the seas., All Spanish
revolutions have begun In just:such out
breaks. The noisy street demonstra
tions are particularly dangerous now
wheu all classes have been led to in
dulge in hopes of naval and military
triumphs.
The revolutionary parties are verv ac
tive, They are almost publicly threat
ening to take matters in their own hands
if the government does not succeed in
promptly overcoming the United States..
Matters are critical politically nd even
worse financially. Botti aspects of the
situation are being employed by the
Spanish diplomats and court to impress
European courts and governments with
tho urgent necessity of action tq cave
Spain from both the foreigner and
herself.
Neutral Decree By itngiantl.
London, April 26-A decree proclaiming
nautrality was issued, by the government
of Great Britain and printed in the Lon
don Gazette today. This - was followed
by issuaing a proclamation of sim
ilar import by a majority of the British
colonies in all parts of the world. As a
result of the Insurance of this decree, the
International laws respecting vessels sail
ing under the flags of belligerent powers
will be strictly enforced in the pons of
the British empire.
,T?ai,mouth, England, April 2G. The
United States torpedo-boat Somers has
been notified that in view of the neutral
ity decree, she must not leave this port.
A British torpedrd-boat has taken up a
position near here. The mail steamer
Irland, said to have been purchased by
the United States, has been forbidden to
sail from Kingstown, Ireland.
London, April 20. It is understood
that the apparent eeverity of the Brit
ish attitude at Hong Kong andFalmouth
toward the United States war yeesels be
tween the two governments, and that
the object of England is to leave np pos
sible ground for the accueatious of un
fairness on the part of that government
toward Spain.
