of
WASHINGTON'. April 22. War be
tween the 1'nited Slates and Spain is
a fact, though not yet offK-'.a'ly O- j
dared so by congress.
The sMrrina event of Wednesday i
ere succeeded yesterday With rap d-:
ity of others of ejti'ial importance, cul- j
minatlnc in the a::rnoon in ord ra
for the departure of the North Allan- j
tic squadron for Havaua.
This practically is an act of war, ao .
that the war between this country and !
Spain may fairly be said to date from
today. April 21. 1898.
Two minutes after the opening of
the State department came word from
minister Woodford that the Spanish
government, having anticipated and
prevented his Intention to present the
president's ultimatum, he had asked
tor his passports.
The administration in a public state
ment announced that It regarded the
action of the Spanish government aa
rendering unnecessary further diplo
matic action on the part of the United
States, and further stated that It re
garded the course adopted by Spain
a one placing upon that country the
responsibility for the breach of friend
ly relations.
Mr. Woodford's telegram resulted In
the calling of a special cabinet meeting
to arrange an out line of a plan of cam
paign, or rather to determine how to
begin the execution of the plan of cam
paign already prepared by the strat
egic boards of the army and navy de
partments. The immediate result waa
the order for the North Atlantic aquad
' ron to begin the blockade of Havana.
How much further than this the cab
inet progressed in its deliberations, it
la not possible to say, for the obvious
reason that the time has now come
when the interests of the government
require that the movements of ships
and troops should be guarded with the
greatest tare from undue publicity in
order to prevent the enemy from tak
ing advantage of Information.
The North Atlantic squadron, under
Captain Sampson's command, makes
a splendid array of fine vessels, com
prising battleships such as the Iowa
and Indiana, monitors like the Puritan
wuu i yrrur, miuuiru ciuibtib iikc uib
New York, flagship; protected cruisers
like the Cincinnati, Marblehead and
Montgomery, gunboats like the Vicks
burg, Wilmington and Annapolis, reg
ular torpedo boats such aa the Eric
ceon, Cushhig Winslow and the like,
and not to speak of the large number
of fast yachts and other vessels that
have been added to the fleet by pur
chase. ,
Thin force is quite complete to block
ade all the ports In Cuba, or at least
all of the ports connecting by rail
with Havana, and so I'ke'y to be used
to supply that place In the event of
alette with food and munitions of war.
This statement Is to be taken with
the understanding that it does cot con
template the coming to Cuban waters
of the Spanish fleet. In such ewe,
however, the probable po'lcy would be
to abandon the blockade and endeavor
to force the Spanish fleet to battle.
Minister Woodford's action during
the day, aa reported to the State A-
partment In a late telegram, Indicated
that he was following a carefully pre
pared program. A significant feature
of his mesagse was the statement that
the Spanish government no'lned him
that It regarded its withdrawal of Min
lster Polo as terminating diplomatic
negotiations, showing that it was not
disposed to accept the expressed inten
tion of our government to continue
Mr. Woodford as a medium of com
munication until Saturday noon.
Mr. Woodford also announced that
he had instructed Consul General Bow
en, at Barcelona, to cause all the
American consuls in Spain to Immedi
ately withdraw from the country. He
further said that he had Informed the
Spanish government, aftpr asking for
passports, that he had placed the
American legation In Madrid, and
American interests in Spain generally,
In the hands of the British embassy.
The ambassador. Rt. Hon. Sir H.
Fry Drummond Wolff, is not at pres
ent in Madrid, so American Interests
will be confided to the British charge,
Sir George G. F. Bonham, bart.
To all intents and purposes th's re
lieves the State department from fcr:h
- er negotiations as to Cuba, save those
relating to privateering, neutrality ob
servances, and the like.
It was found necessary to frame a
notice to the powers of the Intention
of our government to establish a
blockade of Havana, notification re
quired by International law.

GARY RESIGNS f ROM THE CABINET
Emory Smith of the Philadelphia
Pre to Succeed Him.
WASHINGTON. April 22. The pres
ident has sent the nomination to the
senate of Charles Emory Smith of
Pennsylvania, vice James A. Gary, re
signed
Postmaster General Gary resigned on
account of 111 health. The Pennsyl
vania senators were consulted , before
Mr. Smith's appointment was made
It is stated at the White House that
Postmaster General Gary's resignation
had absolutely nothing whatever to
do with our present foreign relation
complications. It was owing entirely,
it is stated, to the condition of Mr.
Gary's health. He has suffered a great
deal of late from a general breaking
down of the system which has con
tinued to progress until finally Mr.
Gary reluctantly reached the conclu
sion that he was unable longer to car
ry the burned of his office.
Charles Emory Smith, the new post
master General, Is at present editor of
the Philadelphia Press. He has been
minister to Russia, is an earnest, act
ive republican and known to public
men throughout the United States. He
Is at present in Washington and may
make a statement later concerning his
nomination. He was Informed by tel
ephone of his nomination and received
many congratulations
Spain's Answer May Be a Shot.
NEW YORK, April 22. A dispatch
to the Herald from Washington says
Spain's answer to President McKin-
ley's ultimatum may take the form of
shot and shell. Its formidable neat.
which has been mobilizing at the
Cane Verde Islands for some days
past, sailed on Wednesday from that
nolnt for an unknown destination
The fleet Is composed of the armored
cruisers Almlrante Oqnendo, Cristo
bal Colon, Infanta Maria Teresa and
Vtzcaya, the torpedo boat destroyers
Furor. Terror and Pluton and the tor
nedo boats Arctic. Azore and Ravo,
and oerhaDs the battleship Pelayo. In
formation of the sailing of the fleet
has been received by the attaches of
the Spanish legation. It is conceded to
be hiehlv probable that the fleet will
hasten across the ocean to Porto Rl
co and Cuba to prevent by force the
outsine from the islands of the naval
and military forces of the Spanish
government there. On the other hand,
it is possible that the ships have gone
to the Canary islands.
If Spain should use the Cape aa a
base of operations In time of war
Portugal will be called to account by
the United States. The Cape Verde
islands belong to the Lisbon govern
ment, which recently informed the
United States that It had rejected
Drooosltlons made 'by Spain to enter
Into an offensive alliance and propos
ed to remain neutral. Portugal will
be expected to carry out its intention
In this respect. Its neutrality obliga-
! tlons will permit It to give to the
j Spanish vessels only sufficient coal to
I enable them to reach the next Span
ish port, which In this case would be
I the Canary Islands, and. once they
i have left that port, they cannot re
turn for ooal or provisions.

Document Before the Spaa

WASH1NGTO.V. April 21. Yester
day wa a day of events la the history
of the Cuban question. The signsture
by the president of the Joint resolu
tion requiring intervention In t una.
the notification of that action to the
Spanish minister here, his demand for
passports, the department's prompt re
ply to that demand, the departure of
the Spanish minister and the transmis
sion of our ultimatum, that Saln
must evacuate Cuba and must make
answer by Saturday, throtich Minister
Woodford, followed In quick succes
sion. The next step Is Spain s answer.
If It Is to make any, and the movement
or the United States army' and navy on
Cuba.
The ultimatum was sent to ths Span
ish minister by Judge Day's personal
messenger. Edward Savoy, one of the
trusted employes of the State depart
ment, who was appointed to his place
In 1S by Hamilton Fish. The messen.
ger was not kept waiting long at the
legation, but in the course of an hour
had returned to the State department
with the minister's application for
paspoitS.
It wss not until 1: 10 o clock that
Ssvoy made his second trip, carrying
with htm the desired paper. This waa a
passport for the minister snd his fsm-
ily and suite. It was not In the usual
form, but was what Is known as a
special passport. In general terms It
Is similar to that presented to Ird
Sackvllle-Weet when the unfortunate
minister waa obliged to retire.- In this
case H reads as follows:
United States of America. Depart
ment of State To All To Whom These
Presents Shall Come Greeting: Know
ye that the bearer hereof. Don Litis
Polo y Bernabe, envoy extraordinary
and minister plenipotentiary of Spain
to the United States, accompanied by
bis family and suite, Is about to travel
abroad.
These are, therefore, to request all
officers of the United Sistes, or of any
state thereof, to permit him to pass
freely without let or molestation, and
to extend to him all friendly aid and
protection In case of need.
In testimony whereof, I. John Sher
man, secretary of state of the United
States of America, have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the
secretary of state to be affixed, at
Washington, this 20th day of April, A.
D. 1898. and of the Independence of the
United States of America the 132d.
Cuban leaders Consult Miles.
At first there was some expectation
at the State department that a re
sponse from Minister Woodford might
be expected today. Lster on, however.
after Judge Day had calculated ' the
length of time that would be consumed
In the cabling of the ultimatum to
Minister Woodford, Us translation
Into cipher and retranslatlon, he be
came convinced that It would be prac
tically Impossible, owing to the differ
ence In time between Washington and
Madrid, to receive any response toda r,
Therefore, the following statement
was posted at the department:
The text of the ultimatum to Spain
will be given out by Mr. Porter, secre
tary to the president, at the White
House some time today, probably.
The next move must now be made
by Spain, according to the department
officials. If the Spanish government
takes a view, as might possibly be
concluded from the sctlon of its minis
ter here todsy, that In language and
terms the congressional resolution is
insulting. It may promptly hand Mr
Woodford his passports upon receipt
of this communication, and thus
bring the negotiations te a crisis and
cause a breach of diplomatic relations
within the next twenty-four hours.
If, on the other hand. It should neg
lect to return a satisfactory answer
before Saturday noon that line of pol
ey wtll be quite as effclent as a posi
tive act. Inasmuch as It would amount
to refusal of the demands of the Unit
ed States.
In such case the president would
proceed Immediately to use the naval
and military forces ef the United
States to execute the will of congress.
How this will be done, what steps shall
first be taken; whether Havana shall
be blockaded, or whether an attempt
shall be made to make a speedy cam
paign by hurling a large force of
troeps to Havana under cover of bom
bardment by a fleet, are all matters of
mere speculation.
The experts of the army and navy
have laid their plans with the greatest
detail for the future, but they do not
hesitate to say that any attempt to
make these public, in advance to the
manifest advantage of Spain would be
actual treason.
An outline of the policy to be fol
lowed by this government in the treat
ment of neutrals, and the matter of
privateering is contained In the follow
ing statement:
In the event of hostilities between
the United States and Spain It wtll be
the policy of this government not 1 1
resort to privateering. The govern
ment will adhere to the following
rules:
First. Neuiral dag covers enemy's
goods with the exception of contra
band and war.
Second. Neutral goods not contra
band of war are not liable to confisca
tion under enemy's flsg.
'luird. Blockade, In order to be
binding, must be effective.
THE ULTIMATUM GOES TO SPAIN.
The
Authorities Have Three
Days
in Which to Yield.
WASHINGTON. April 21. The Cu
ban resolution Is new a law of ths
land aad the ultwnstum to Spala an
accomplished fact. The president at
11:14 o'clock yesterday aiBied his sig
nature to the ioiet raeelattaa of seo-
gress requiring Spain to evacuate the
Island of Cuba. The ultimatum mean
while had been prepared at the state
department l-y AssUUnt Secretary
ley and at 11:30 o'clock announce
ment wss made at the White House
th.it It bed lN-en signed by the presi
dent and had been sent to the Span
ish government. The ultimatum was
brouKht over to the White House
shortly before 11 o'clock by Assist
ant Secretary Day, who went over It
with President McKinley before the
latter affixed his signature.
After the public announcement As
sistant Secretary Day said that the
ultimatum had been transmitted to
Madrid, addressed to Minister Wood
ford, who will deliver It to the Span
Ish sovernmcnt. As soon as the final
de-lArnflnarlon to send It had been
reached snd It had been started on Its
way to Madrid Senor Polo y Bernabe,
the Spanish minister. In accordance
with diplomatic courtesies, was fur
nished a copy of the paper by the col
ored niesssnger of Assistant Secretary
Day. The minister, as soon as he re
ceived it. made a brief reply and re
quested his passports.
It wss ssid st the White House that
the terms of the ultimatum would not
be made public here until today. It Is
understood that It consists largely of a
diplomatic paraphrase of the Joint
resolution of congress, concluding with
a statement that this government
awslts Spsln's reply.
There wss present with the presi
dent when he signed the resolutions
Secretary Alger, : Attorney General
Griggs, Secretary Bliss, 8-mator K1-
kms snd Charlea Emory Smith. The
president In his ultimatum to the
Spanish government transmits a copy
of the resolutions he states he has
signed. He demands that Spain with
draw its army and navy forces from
Cuban wsUrs as . required by the
terms of the act of congress (no date
for the withdrawal being mentioned)
and then states that if a satisfactory
answer Is not received here before Sat
urday next, he wHI proceed at once
to carry the resolution of congress Into
effect.
The Spanish minister's request for
his pseeports, sent immediately on the
receipt of the ultimatum, was as fol
lows: The resolution adopted by the con
gress of the United States of A merles,
and approved by the president. Is of
such a nature that my permanence In
Washington ' becomes' - Impossible'end
obliges me to request yon the delivery
of my passports. The protection of the
Spanish legation will he entrusted to
the French ambasssdor and to the
Austrian-Hungarian minister. On this
occasion, very painful to me. I have
the honor to renew to you the assur
ance of my highest consideration.
(Signed)
LUIS POIi) DE BERNABE.
Hon. John Sherman, Secretary of
State for United States of America.
Etc.. Etc.
The signing of the Cuban resolutions
by the president was an exceedingly
Interesting event, although without
special Incident. General Alger had
brought over from the war department
a pen which he requested the presi
dent to use In appending his signature
to the document. The pen had ana
dfaary gtrtta perrha holder and as It
was handed to the president by his
secretary, Mr. Porter, those gathered
around the table to witness the act.
There was considerable feeling mani
fested by those about, but there was
no demonstration or rong at illations.
The small crowd soon dispersed snd
In ten minutes the normal condition
of things at the White House had been
resumed. Secretary Alger remained
wltn the president and as soon as
the rush was over the two took a walk
In the White House grounds, returning
in less than half an hour.
PLAN OF CAMPAIGN DISCUSSED.
Fleet Should Be Held to Meet the
Spanlnh Flotilla.
WASHINGTON. April 21. "I hope.'
said a prominent naval officer today,
who has given much thought on the
subject, "that the plan of operation
decided upon by the department will
not Include an attack by our fleet on
Morro oaatle and forts at Cabanas as
the first stroke of the campaign. If we
do this many of our ships are sure to
be crippled and sent home for repairs.
Our, docking facilities on the south
Atlantic coast are so limited that the
vessels would either have to be sent
far north to be repaired or else await
their time for docking In the south.
The Spaniards are taking the cue and
displaying much military sagacity
In the movements of their ships. They
are concentrating them in their
home ports, and If our fleets are dis
abled by attempting to reduce the for
tifications at Havana they will steam
over here and Inflict Irreparable dam
age on them. It seems to me the prop
er thine for us to do would be to at
tempt to land a large force of men
In Cuba, surround the fortifications
and starve out the Spaniards, mean
while Keeping up a blockade of the
harbor and the coast by our fleet of
ships. I think, with an army of 20,000
men, supplemented by the Insurgents'
strength on the Island, we would be
able to do this.
"You will remember thst during our
late war our fleets suffered considera
bly In the attack on the forts in Char
leston harbor, whereas when the sol
diers holding them ascertained that
Sherman was coming with an army
from the inland they began to evacuate
when he was 100 miles awav. These
matters have been brought to the at
tention of the strategic board, which
Is now formulating a plan of cam
paign."
