Oiidkrh wero issued at Washington on tho 27th to recruit tho army to Its full war strength of 01,000 men. An otlleial high in tho war depart mont at Washington was authority for tho statement that tho volunteers called for will bo held in their state encampments indefinitely, to bo or ganized and hardened. It was inti mated in tho same quarter that tho volunteers might not got a chance at Cuba until after tlio rainy season, if at all. A Wahiiinoton dispatch on tho 27th stated that President McKlnloy still hoped to free Cuba and end tho war with Spain without sending an army to the island. He thought that tho success of our navy in tho Philippines would cause tho powers to step In and compel Spain to yield. Nhwh was received at Washington that Gen. Moliuo at Matanzas had or dered tho food supplies sent by tho United States to tho starving reeon centrados to be held in ease they may bo wanted for his troops. Ir was said at Washington that there was renewed talk of a recogni tion of the Cubans, at least their bel- llgercncy, and possibly their inde- petitionee, and confident hopes wero expressed in high Cuban circles that recognition would be granted within the next two weelcs. Ono of tho first effects of this, it was said, would bo to give the Cubans an otlleial status at Washington, instead of (their present unolllcial status. A Washington dispatch to tho Now York Mall and Express on tho 2Sth Haid that Spain had made a proposi tion to tho stato department, through tho French ambassador, who is acting for her since Minister Polo departed, for an exchange of captured vessels. Sho proposed tho formation of a board of exchange, to bo made up of repre sentatives of foreign countries. Thk naval war board at Washington on tho 28th decided to accept tho Hol land submarine torpedo boat and sho will bo put into commission at once. Sho will for the present bo employed for harbor defense at New York. Sknator Gorman on tho 20th re signed tho position of chairman of tho senate democratic caucus and Senator Turplo was chosen his successor. Sen ator Coekroll shed tears over tho oc currence. Si:cri:tarv Ai.nr.R issued a sweeping order on the 23d to all porsons con nected with tho war department In structing them not to give any Infor mation to tho press about tho war un der any circumstances. Nr.wa was, received In Washington on tho 20th of tho departure of tho Spanish iloot from tho Capo Vordo is lands and great concern was mani fested as to Its destination. Tin: board of strategy at Washington has decided that if the Spanish ileot docs not come to us, tho United States warships must attack Spain at home and sel.o tho Canary Islands or some other Spanish possession as a base of supplies in order to do so. A Washington dispatch on tho 20th stated that tho volunteers must learn to bo patient. They will notseo active service for months to come. They must remain in domestic camps while tho regulars ptivo tho way and It is oven possible that not one in ten may boo Cubu. Gen. Miles has carefully collected statistics from army surgeons V" V ' V ft 7 has learned that the i Cuba at least .0 per i will dlo from fever. and others and army Is sent to cent, of tho men For this reason he has advised against an immediate campaign. WiiA'rr.VKR question may exist under tho president's proclamation regarding other vessels, tlio Washington author ities seem to have no doubt that tho capturo of tho Spanish steamer Pana ma was a legitimate seizure and tho 21 passengers on tho vessel wore ordered to bo hold as prlsonors of war. OltDKlts have been issued from Wash ington for postmasters throughout tho country to watch their malls closely and to seize any mail matter which they may think treasonable in giving information about United States af fairs to Spaniards and to forward tho sumo to Washington. ClICNICKAT. NKWS. A SMAi.T. coasting schooner, tho Mas cota, was captured by tho United States torpedo boat Foote trying to run tho blockade at Havana. It was sent to Key West. Oov.

I According to dispatches on the 1st tho (irst battle of tho Hispano-Ameri-ctiu war was fought by Adm. Dewey's smiadron and tho Snanish fleet at the Philippines Islands, on" Manila, and vic tory was with the stars and stripes. The account of the engagement eamo by tho way of Madrid which said tho Castilla and the Maria Christina were burned, the Don Juan do Austria was blown up and several other vessels wero sunk to prevent tho Americans from getting them. No account of tho loss of life was given. News had not been received at Washington how Adm. Dewey fared, but there was great rejoicing over his apparently great victory. CJai.hna, 111., tho homo of Gen. U. S. Grant, on tho U7th celebrated tho sovonty-seventh anniversary of tho great leader's birth. An attempt was recently made to explode tho magazine of Knight & Wall at Tampa, Flu. It was stated by Cubans at Key West, Fla., on tho 1st tlmt Gen.

The robbers wrecked the through safe and took tho entire money contents, amounting to 20,000. Tho express car was badly wreelced by the explosion. Owing to tho recent destruction of powder mills at Kaston, Pa., and Santa Cruz, Cal., by explosions thought to have been caused by Spanish spies, managers of eight big powder com panies, having their headquarters in St Louis, have ordered double guurds placed at all points where powder is stored or manufactured. "Kid" McParti.and and Joo Walcott fought eight rounds on the 28th at De troit, Mich. Tho result was a draw. Tun large and secure prison at Fort Adams, It. I., which has been desig nated by tho war department as ono of tho prisons to be used for Spanish prisoners of war, has been thoroughly overhauled and made ready for use.

A Disi'ATOir to the Chicago Tlraes- Ilerald from Washington on tho 27th said that Secretary Long, of tho navy department, declared Havana would not bo bombarded until serious danger from the Spanish fleets was eliminated. It might be an easy matter to sllonco tho guns of Morn eastle and the shore batteries, but in tho conflict American ships might bu crippled beyond easy repair, and the American navy was not so strong but that tho loss of u bingle ship might prove fatal in a naval en gagement Thk bourd of supervisors of Frank lin county, la., adopted a resolution to pay each wlfo or widow dependent for support upon a husband or son who enlists In the army tho sum of S8 iv month, and to each child under 10, whoso father so enlists, tho sum of 83.

Tub London Times on the 30th said that English "sympathies on tho main question aro with the United States, as they are hold to be In the right Hut on tho matter of form we aro not so clear or unanimous."

Ho was caugnt luing the lock of a maga zine and was found guilty by a drum head court-martial and sentenced to bo shot A later dispatch, however, denied the truth of the report John Abq.uith, 75 years old, and his wife Margaret, 70 years old, wero found dead in bed in their rooms at Chicago recently. The old couple had evidently committed suicide by as phyxiation. Tun cornerstone of the head ofllco building 'of tho Modern Woodmen of America was laid by Head Clerk C. W. Ilawes, assisted by the directors of tho order at Rock Island, 111., on the 2Sth. Tho evont attracted about 1)0,000 stran gers to the city, and tho parade pre ceding the exercises at tho building was participated In by 8,000 Woodmen. A miocr.A.MATioN was to bo issued to Gen.

Washington rejoiced last night Not since tho dark days of tho great civil couillct of a third of a century ago have tho people of this city been so profoundly moved by war news ns they wero last evening. The first battle of the Ills-pano-Aincrlcan war has been fought, and victory lies with Adm. Dewey's squadron under the stars and stripes. That was enough to sot the people of Washington almost In n frenzy of en thusiastic rejoicing. For days they, in common with the peoplo throughout tho country, have been awaiting news from tho Philip pine islands, as everything point ed to a battle at Manila that might be a decisive conflict of the war. When the news came Indicating a great victory for the American squad ron the enthusiasm of tho people was let loose and tho streets of tlnj city have rung with cheers throughout tho night. The first news of tho battle received in Washington came In u brief cablegram to tho Associated press from Madrid about eight o'clock yes terday evening. As the night wore on the cablo continued to sing tho news of victory for tho squadron of Adm. Dewey and tho interest grew Into tre mendous excitement Ordinarily Washington is tho quietest of cities on Sunday, but as bulletin after bulletin wns posted in front of tho newspaper oillces, each successive one conveying information more gratifying than its predecessor, the crowds in the streets became uproarious. Good, as well as bad news spreads rapidly, and by ten o'clock the streets were crowded with people, all discussing tlio one exciting topic of tho hour. While victory had been expected, the news of it coming as it did from Spanish sources crave vent to the patriotism of tho oeo- pie which has been pent up for days, Spanish officials' hki-out. MATim Mnv oti. fniww u .... .. ', ,. ,!, ,iint,. ... tho governor general of tho Philip pines to the minister of war, Gen. Correa, as to tho engagement olf Ma nila: Saturday night, April 30, tho batteries at the entrance to tlio fort announced tlio arrival of tlio enemy, forcing a passago during the ob scurity of tho night. At daybreak tho enemy took up positions, opening with a htrong lire against Fort Cavlto and tho arsenal. Our lleot engaged tho enemy In a brilliant combat, pro tected by tliQ Cavlto and Manila forts. Tlioy obliged tho enemy, with heavy loss, to maneu ver repoatcdlv. At nlno o'clock tho Americans took rofugo behind tho foreign morchnnt ship ping, on tho cast nldo of tho bay. Our licet, considering tho enemy's superiority, naturally suffered a severe loss. Tho Marin Christina Is ) on llro nnd nnother ship, believed to bo tho i Don Juan do Austria, was blown up. Thero was considerable loss of life. CapL Cudarzo, commanding tho Maria Christina, Is among tho killed. I caunot now give f urthor details. Tho spirit of tho army, navy and volunteers is excellent. El lleraldo do Madrid says that Adm. Monte jo changed his flagship during tho engagement, or botweon tho two encounters, In order to better direct maneuvers. Ho thus eecapod tho fnto of the communder of the Kcina Maria Christina. Tho second engagement was apparently begun by the Americans, after landing their wounded on tho east side of the bay. In tlio latter engagement, the Spanish Mindnnon and Ulloa suffered soverely. During this engagement tho Cavlto forts maintained a steadier and stronger lire upon tho American squndron than in thcllrstengagement Adm. lierincjo, the minister of marine has expressed himself as highly pleased with tlio heroism of tho Span ish marines, and has telegraphed con gratulations to Adm. Montejo and tho valorous crews of the Spanish squad ron under fire of superior warships. Ministers speak of "serious but honor able losses." Tho naval bureau at Manila sends the following report signed "Montejo, admiral." In tho mtddlo of tho night tho Amorican squadron forced tho forts and boforo daybreak uppoarcd off Cavlto. Tho night was complete ly dnrlc At 7:3) o'clock tho bow of tho Uolna Maria Christina took llro and .soon after tho poop also was burned At eight o'clock, with my staff, I went on board tho Islo of Cuba. Tho Kelua Maria Christina and tho Castilla wero then entirely cnvoloped In llames. The other ships, having been damaged, rotlred Into Halter bay. Sumo had to bo sunk to prcvont their falling Into tho hands of tho enemy. The losses aro numerous, notably Capt. Cadarso, a priest and nlno other persons. si'ANisii fi.i:i:t said to iib iu:n:ATi:n.
