Washington, April 25. Victory, which attended the American navy from the beginning of the war, con tinues to ciown its efforts. The United States cruiser Cincinnati has captured two Spanish vessels and Is towing them into harbor. The United States cruiser Ilelena, Sunday morn ing captured the Spanish vessel Miguel Joves, bound for Barcelona freighted with 2000 tons of cotton and wheat. So far there has no confirma tion been receiued of any reports that any American vessel has fallen Into Spanish hands. Olllclals in the nuyy department clalmi to be informed of the there abouts of the Oregon and.saylng her movements arc being kept secret for prudential reasons. An official warning has been Issued that mines have been placed In the Columbia river. A report comes from Porto Rice that an American cruiser was tired on off the coast from, that island, by the Spanish, Sunday. The torpedo boat Porter captured the Spanish schooner Mathllde of Hayana, loaded with rum, Sunday afternoon. Fire was opened on the Nbrth At lantic squadron In IJavaua harbor Saturday from thegunsof Moro Castle. About 10 shots were fired In all. The missiles feel harmlessly In the water and none of the thots .were returned by the Americans. Nothing was lost except ipowder which Is scarce In Spanish circles and Jnaval offices re gard this as the climax of a Spanish bluff. u UnltedStates steamer Mangrove will cut all cable communication wltn Cuba and the government has taken control of all the telegraph wires at Key West and press matter will be subject to the decision of the censor. Telegraphic communication with Havana has already been aban doned. For the first time since the civil war the president has called for vol unteers. The call Is for 125,000. They are being mustered at three points, Richmond, Washington and Atlanta. From the fact that Richmond was selected It is believed Fltzbugh Lee will be given a command over a divi sion of volunteers Monsignor Martlnelll, pagal able gate to the United States Is reported to have said to the Franciscan monks and priests: "Although I am an Italian bom, I am an American by heart. My sym pathies are with this country In the present dispute, and 1 cannot but sympathize with the Cu- A War That's what there is in. store, on so-called bargains, closing out you invest a cent, investigate our O. F. DABNBY, THE bans In their struggle, and believe they should gain their freedom. He contended that the holy father deplored the war and he had advised the Spanish government how to act to honoratly ayoid a conflict with with the United States, and how the efforts of the holy father had been used to stay the hand of the United States. But seemingly, the die has been cast, and war would result, and It behooved every good Roman Catho lic, whether priest or layman, to honor and obey the mandates of the country of birth or adoption when en gaged In such a holy war as that of attempting to relievo the sufferings of another country. QCuba will be invaded by four army corps, which will place a force of 120,- 000 men on the island. The volun teer army which was called Into ex istence Saturday will be merged with the regulars. Td command thisarmy It will be necessary to haye 10 major- generals and 30 brigadier-generals. The president will appoint these gen eral officers, as well as their staff officers, Major-General Miles will remain in command and will go to Cuba with an army of occupation. It was learned last night on appar ently good authority that a proclama tion will probably be Issued Monday or Tuesday declaring the blockade of San Juan, Porto Rice. This would Indicate that the Hying squadron Is to guard the pntrance to that poTt. News comes from Havana that General Blanco has officially declared the island of Cuba to be In a state of selge. All money and valuables are being taken out of the country and business is completely paralized. Over $1,000,000 left for New York, Satur day, on the steamer Saratoga. The failure or fear of the adminis tration to formally declare war may lead to serious complications with France. The capture of the Buena Ventura may become an international Incident through the neglect of the government to recognize in some formal way the state of war that ex ists. The state department has learned that the French government, as guar dian of the Spanish interests, would protest against the seizure of the 'Bu cni Ventura, on the ground that she was taken before the war begun. Some administration officials are In clined to the belief that war did not begin until noon today, despite the tact that Spain had broken offdiplo m atlc relations.

WAR Proclamation Issued by the Queen. Spain Fitting Out Pri fvateer Fleet. They (Will Prey on American Commerce. Spanish Soldiers Laying Cuba's Interior, Waste Madiud, April 25. Tho following decree has been gazetted: "Diplomatic relations arc broken off between Spain and the United States, and a state of war being be gun between the two countries, num erous questions of lntercatlonal law must be perfectly dellned, especially because injustice and proyacatlon comes from our adversaries, and It Is they who, by their destestablo con. duct, have caused this grave con flict." .Continuing, the decree adds: " Wc have striven with the strictest fidelity to observe the principles of In ternational law, and have shown the most scrupulous respect for morality and the right of government. There Is an opinion that the fact that wc have not adhered to the declaration of Paris does not relievo us of the duty of respecting the principles therein. The principles Spain refused to admit then was abolition of privateering. The government now considers It most indispensable to make absolute reserve on this point, in order to maintain our liberty of action and un contested right to have recourse to privateering when we consider it ex pedient. "First by organizing Immediately afoicoof cruisers, auxlllaryl to the navy, which will bo composed of ves sels of our mercantile marine. "Clause 1 The state or war existing between Spain and the United States annuls the treaty of peace and amity of October 27, 1795 and the protocol of January 1, 1877, and all "ther agree ments, treaties or conventions In force between the two countries. "Clause 2 From the publication of the present decree, 30 days are granted to all ships of the United States an chored In our harbors to take their departure free of hindrance. "Clause 3 Notwithstanding that Spain has not adhered to the declara tion of Paris, the government, re specting the principles of the law of nations, proposes to observe and hereby orders to bo obseryed the fol lowing regulations of maritime law: "First Neutral flags cover enemy's merchandise, except contraband of war. "Second Neutral merchandise, ex cept contraband of war, Is not slezable under the enemy's llag. "Third A blockade to be obligatory must be effective, viz,, It must be maintained with sufficient force to prevent access to the enemy's lltterol. "Fourth The Spanish government, upholding. its right to grant letters of marque, will lit present confine itself to organizing with the vessels of the mercantile marine a force of auxiliary cruisers, which will co-operate with the navy according to the needs of the campaign, an I will be under naval control. "Fifth-in order to capture the enemy's ships and confiscate the enemy's merchandise and contraband of war, under whatever form, the auxllllary cruisers will exercise the right of search on the high seas, and In the waters under the enemy's Juris diction, In accordance with Interna tional law, the regulations of which will bo observed." The sixth clause defines what Is In cluded In contraband of war, naming weapons, ammunition, equipments, engines, and, in general, all the ap pliances uted Id war. "Seventh To be regarded and judged as pirates with all the rigor ot the law are captains, masters, otllcers and two-thirds of the crew ot vessels, which, (not being American, shall commit acts of war against Spain, exen If provided with letter of marque, Issued by the United States." Devastating Cuba Kingston, April 25. The United States consul at Baracoa, Cuba, Alfred T. Trlay, his wife and two children; two Spanish merchants and 22 Cubans and Spanish-Americans, mostly women and children, from Guantan amo, have disembarked from the Ely, after 24 hours' quarantine. When the .steamer left Guantan amo a Spanish mob, Including many soldiers, filled the public square and adjacent streets, yelllng"Death to the Yankees I" Several "Americans were soiled, torn, trampled and treated with unmentionable Indignities. Some naturalized Americans were compelled to take part In the Insult ing work, on tho threat of death It they refused. Orders to tho Spanish army declar ing the armistice ended were posted at Guantanamo last Friday. Two days previous tho troops began concentrat ing at the principal seacoast cities, abandoning all the Interior towns and platatlons, In many cases burning them. The passengers by the Ely believe the devastation of that part of the Is land will be completed before the Americans Invade the poits held by the Spaniards. Ordinarily there are 2000 Spanish soldiers at Guantanamo. Now there are 7000 thtre. Now de fenses, earthworks chiefly, arc under contraction, and tho mounting Is In progress. Two rapid-Ore two- pounder and four ancient models have been received. When ho reached Santiago ho claimed the protection ot the British consul, and promptly cabled Washington asking why ho had not been looked ifter, when all tho other consuls were directed to reach Jamacla at die earliest opportunity. He stayed at a hotel In Santiago for a week un molstcd, and then tho British consul gothlm and his family to tho Ely. Mh Trlay says he has been treated shamefully. As there was no tele graph ut Baracoa, ho did not know what was happening on the outside, It is assumed that, as he Is an Ameri can, he will lay the matter beforo con gress. He does not know who was to blame. According to his statement, tho southern coast garrisons have been weakened to strengthen the defenses at Havana. D Multnomah Endorses Union Ticket.

The North Atlantic squadron Is now In readiness to do It and the bombardment may be gin tonight. The residents or the Cuban capital know the city Is to bo stormed and tho whole place Is on the Verge of a panic. The news first came in the notification of the British con sul by his government that the United States had given the warning of bombardment, and it spread over the city like wild flro through dry grass. The newspapers all prepared extras but tho press censor ut the palace crossed out ovcry lino of news. They appealed to tho captain-general (Blanco), but ho told the editors that he did not want tho city alarmed and would not permit the fact that bombardment wns Imminent, to bo made public. As a violation of such an order would mean actual suppression of the offending newspaper, thoy had to forego the extras. But tho news passed from lip to lip, and tonight nothing else Is spoken In parquo cen tral or In cafes It Is pitiful to watch the women of Havana. The streets are full of them and nearly every one looks like she Is on the verge of hysterics. Tho government Is doing all it can to keep the excitement down.
