1 HAVANA TERROR STRICKEN THE SIGHT OF U. S. WARSHIPS MAKES IT GREWSOMB. Blanco Alert Watching tho Ships Holding War Counclla 50,000 Spnnlah Soldlors In Havana -ln-BumontB Hard at Work. Key West, Vltu, April 25. Havana Is In a turmoil. Tho city Is terror-stricken at the prospect ot bombardment, and though Captuln aenerol Ulanco Is doing everything ho can think of to reassure the trembling populace, It will bo u miracle If anarchy docs not prevail be fore the end of the siege. The BtreetB are full of marching soldiers being hurried to posts anil about the clty.There Is every evidence of a determination to light. Kvery pos sible landing place near Havana Is be ing protected. At night the cafes aro full of people, all cursing the Ameri cans. An artillery captain, Jose Queriu Y Mendoza, was drunk In the Ingli Terra cafe Wednesday night. Ho shouted so that everybody In the hotel heard him: "I'll blow nome of the Yan kee pigs to hell before they Hinnsh us." That Is the Spanish soldier's attitude. He does not think of victory, but Is figuring how much damage he will be able to do the enemy before succumb ing. Signal guns have been firing from Morro castle and Cabanas, and a red flag flying. These were to advise the old defenses Unit the American fleet was In sight. The blockade Is tight enough. There Is no danger of anything getting Into or out of Havana while It bars the way. There Is an almost continuous council of war at the palace. When Blanco Is not there with his general and colonels of volunteers, he Is inspecting the forti fications. There are now probably EO.flOO Span ish troops. Including the volunteers, gathered for the defensp of Havana. They are strung out, particularly to the west. At the Vedado and Carmclo several thousand are massed and more are being hurried thence by rail. The Indications for defense point to this vicinity as tho first battlefield. Ulanco expects the American army to attempt to effect a landing here, and is putting up his sand batteries and forts with a strong lino to meet the foe If It succeeds In getting ashore. The withdrawal of troops from the In terior to defend Havana has left tho rebels a free hand. It Is reported that Qulnea. forty miles from Havann, was In the Insurgfcuts' hands. The railroads have been blown up at Pulos, Jaruco and near Hlncon. CONFISCATE CAPTURED SHIPS Unloss Thoy Know Not of War, Un til AftorThroo Days. Washington, D. C, April 25. Tho president tonight decided, after consul tation with Attorney General Griggs, that all Spanish vessels coining Into American ports without knowledge of war shall bo allowed to discharge their cargo and depart In peace. He also laid down the rule that all vessels now load ing for Cuba with coal, provisions or other articles of commerce shall be de tained by this government. The cargoes will be returned to the ships, who can dispose of them In any way they please, except by selling them to Spain. He decided that It would be a breach of nutlonal hospitality to take advan tage of Spanish ships which had como Into American waters without knowl edge of war and trusting to the friend liness of this country. Tho rules con cerning Spanish ships entering Ameri can harbors In Ignorance of war will apply, however, for only a few days, a "reasonable time." as Attorney General Griggs puts It. Vessels Hying tho Span ish flag entering American ports after that reasonable time has elapsed will be seized nnd confiscated. Any vessel attempting to break tho blockade will be a fit subject for cap ture as a prize of war and Spanish ves sels caught on tho high seas are placed In the same category. How About tho Coal Supply. Washington, D. C April 2.'. Tho navy department Is prepared to take Immediate advanlnge of any action of congress for providing eoal depots, and has outlined plans for establishing nnd stocking them at short notice. The atttltude of the British government en the Question of making coal contra band Is awaited with keen Interest. It Is highly desirable that In an emer gency our ships may have the oppor tunity to draw upon some of the Brit ish coal supply In the West indies. It Is believed mat Great Britain will adopt a middle course. She will prob ably refuse to allow any one of the warships of the combatants to take on a full supply of coal at an" British point, but probably will allow uny such ship arriving nt her port short of coal to tike on a supply sulllclent to take her to the next port, thus ap plying the rommon rule of neutrality. The deeis'on of the British govern ment that the Spanish cruiser Audaz. now under -epalrs ut Queenstown, can not be detained under the neutrality laws Is not without some benefit to the United States, Inasmuch as we now have the torpedo boat Somers, Just purchased In Germany. In dock at Fal mouth, England, repairing damages sustained In the pasasge over from Germany. There wns some fear that Bhe might be subject to detention. Disguised a Spanish Mall Boat. London. April 25. There Is reason to believe that the Spanish mall boat.lslo de Mlnneta, will be captured before 'he arrives at Manila. Before start ing she was provided with British and Russian Hugs, nnd painted out the name on the funnel as on the steamers of tb volunteer fleet, a number of which are on their way to Port Arthur. Admiral Dewey learned of the scheme from General Lee on April IX A homeward nound Spanish mall steamer has mounted two Honterla quick firing guns and two Nordenfeldts on Improvised mountings at Manila, although the ves sel will not bear the shock of the dis charge of the guns, owing to tho weakness of the fixings. m Madrid Howls Plraoy. Madrid. April 25. The capture of the Spanish steamer Buena Ventura by the Pnlted States gunboat Nashville off Key West yesterday has aroused the greatest indignation, the Spaniards claiming that hostilities are not yet sup posed to have begun. The newspapers of the city characterize the seizure of th ship as an act of piracy und being in defiance of the International law- San Francisco Coal Supply. San Francisco, Cal., April 25. A biff fleet of coal Is on Its way to San Fran cisco from Australian and EnglNh potts No more coal can come here front Brit ish Columbia, the principal source of San Francisco's supply, and to guard against a shoitage the government bus made arrangements for the transporta tion of SO.OiC tons by roll from Pennsjv vanla. THE MILITIA IS SNUBBED. SOLDIERS MUST RESIGN FROM IT TO ENTER THE ARMY. War Dopartmont will Officer the Companies Local Offloora Will Not bo In It Tho Navy Oots tho Samo Treatment. Washington, D. C, April 25. A very great misapprehension has been creat ed In reference to the 125,000 volun teers called for by the president. The general supposition Is that the different stnte governments will be required to furnish tholr quota of the total num ber, und that the militia forces will be drawn upon for that purpose. According to the statement made to a correspondent today by Major J. N. MorrlBon.asslstant Judge advocate gen eral of tho war department, the plan of organizing the volunteer army will dlfTor radically rroni that pursued when the volunteers were drawn Into service for the civil war. "I wish you would give tho widest publicity to the fact that the call for volunteers does not contemplate the mustering hi of the state mllltla as mllltla organizations." said Major Mor rison. "The government will at once open recruiting oHIccb In tho various states for tho enlistment of men In tho volunteer branch of the United Stntes army. Men who have had military training In the national guard will naturally be preferred, but It Is not In tended to limit the enlistment to tho mllltla. "Before a volunteer can be enlisted he will hnve to sever his connection with the national guard und the state mllltla organizations, 1 should say, would be the safest place for those who do not Intend to enlist. This Is not In tended as a reflection on the national guard. These will naturally be given preference because of their training, but not as members of organizations. The governors of the states will be asked to name the regimental officers, but beyond this they will have nothing to do with the raising of the troops In their states, the Intention being to make this essentially a government soldiery, differing only in name from the regu lars. The reason for this course Is ex plained by the fact that tho volunteers arc Intended for foreign service, and not "to repel Invasion," which is essen tially the only constitutional use to which the national guard tjan be de voted. In the new army bill the army of tho United States Is divided Into the regu lar and volunteer brunches, the latter being available only In case of war. The 125,000 men are to constitute tho volunteer branch, and will bo enlisted exactly under the same circumstances as the men In the regulnr army. They will be allowed to preserve their Iden tity with the states from which they hall by appropriate names, Indicating their origin, but beyond this they will be on the same plane nnd subject to the same discipline as the regulars. The geneial government will bear every dollar of expense Involved In recruiting this branch of the nrmy, and the legislatures of the states will not be asked to appropriate anything. Tho plan Is to rendezvous the troops at given points In each Btate and forward them to one of the southern rallying points as soon as the quota Is full. With their enlistment they Immediately pass out of the Jurisdiction of their state governments. OFFICERS ARE DISAPPOINTED. Morrison's Opinion Creates III Fooling In State Companies. Omalui, Nob.. April 25. When the members of tho national guard in this city were informed of the opinion of Assistant Judge Advocate Morrison with regard to the bill providing for a volunteer army, they were greatly shocked and were Inclined to believe that the olllcers of the regular army had obtained Just what they wanted from congress. Thoy believed that they recognized a purpose on the part of the government to appoint surplus ufllcers of the tegular army us ofllcers In the volunteer army, thus destroying the organization of the national guard. The guardsmen had no Idea that the bill contemplated that they should resign from the state mllltla before they could enter the vol unteer army. During the last few days the Thurs ton Rifles and the Omaha Guards have been securing recruits on the under standing that the governor would issue the call. It was presumed that the gov ernor would have authority to select whatever ofllcers he pleased. Accord ing to the assistant Judge ndvocate he will be permitted to recommend tho regimental ofllcers, but this term Is ambiguous. It may mean only the colonel, lieutenant colonel and majors. In such case the guardsmen fear that the government would reserve to Itself the right of appointing all other of llcers the brigadier general, the cap tulns of the various compnnles, the lieutenants and non-commissioned of llcers. Last night the members of the national guard In this city were unani mously agreed that they ought to offer their services us an organization. Captain Taylor of the Thurston Rifles was anxious to orfer his company in tact. He felt that It would be unwise for the members to volunteer at ran dom. "I thought," he said, "that the diffi culty with regard to the enlistment of the national guard as an organization had been overcome. I have not seen the text of the bill nnd I am surprised to hear that the members of the mllltla will have to resign In order to enlist in the volunteer army. I believe that It will be sadly detrimental to dis cipline and I trust that the construc tion placed upon t'ne matter by the as sistant Judge advocate may not be the one adopted by the president. Should the course suggested by the assistant Judge ndvocate be followed there will no doubt be a protest from national guardsmen all over the country." Power with tho Governor. Washington. D. C, April 25. The governors of the various states have complete authority, under the call for volunteers Issued Saturday, to decide what troops shall make up the quota of their states. Under the call each state Is to furnish a certain number of troops. The law under which the call Is made provides that the governor of each state shall report to the war department that state's quota and name the ofllcers who shall command these troops. If the governor of any state shall see flt to take a national guard regiment with its officers and report It as a part of he state's quota, such action will be I'ceptable to the war department. But le governor it any state can leave a giment of the national guard If he ees tit. TALMAGE'S SERMON, Washington, D. C, April 24. Dr. Tal mage today preached from Job 37::'l! "And now men see not the bright light which Is In the clouds." Wind oust Barometer falling. Storm signals out. Ship reefing malntopad! Awnings taken In. Prophecies ot fo-il weather everywhere. Tho clouds con gregate around the sun, prposlng to abolish him. But after a while he as sails the flanks of the clouds with flying artillery of light, and here and there is u sign of clearing weather. Many do not observe It. "And now mn see not the bright light which Is In the clouds." In other words, there are a hundred men looking for storm where there Is one man looking for sunshine. My ob ject will be to get you nnd myself Into tho delightful habit of making the Ikm t of everything. You may have wondered ut the statis tics that In India, In the year 1X75, thete were over 1'J.OOO people slum by wild beasts, and that In the yeur 1H7G there were In India over 20,000 people de stroyed by wild nnlmnls. But there Is u monster In our own land which Is yuar by year destroying more than that. It Is the old bear of melancholy, und with gospel weapons I propose to chase It back to Its midnight caverns. 1 mean to do two sums a sum In subtraction and a sum ltt addition a subtraction from your days of depression and an addition to your days of Joy. If God will help me I will compel you to see tho bright light that there Is In the clouds, and compel you to make tho best of everything. IN HARD TIMES. In the first place, you ought to tnnkcj tho very best of all your financial mis fortunes. During the panic a few years ago you all lost money. Some of you lost It In most unuccountnblo ways. For the question, "How mnny thousands of dollars shall I put nslde this year?" you substituted the question. "How shall I liny my butcher, and baker, and clothier, and landlord?" You had the sensation of rowing hard with two oars, and yet all the time going down streum. You did not say much about It, be cause It was not politic to speak much of financial embarrassment; but your wife knew. Less variety of wardrobe, more economy at the table, self-denial in art und tnpestry. Compression; re trenchment. Who did not feel the ne cessity of It? My friend, did you make the best of It? Arc you uwnre of how narrow an escape you made? Suppose you had reached the fortune toward which you were rapidly going? What then? You would have been as proud us Lucifer. How few men have succeeded largelv In u financial sense and yet maintained their simplicity nnd religious consecra tion! Not one man out of a hundred. There are glorious exceptions, but Jha general rule is that In proportion as a man gets well off for this world he gets poorly off for the next. He loses his sense of dependence on God. He gets a dlstnste for prayer meetings. With plenty of bank stocks and plenty of government securities, what does that mnn know of the prayer. "Give mo this day my dally brend?" How few men largely successful In this world ure bringing souls to Christ, or show ing self-denial for others, or are emi nent for piety? You can count them all upon your eight fingers und two thumbs. HIS OWN BATTLK TO FIGHT. The best Inheritance a young mnn can have is the feeling that he has to flghe his own battle, and thnt life Is a strug gle Into which he must throw body, mind nnd soul, or be disgracefully worsted. Where are the burial places of the men who started life with a fortune? Some of them in the potter's field; some In the suicide's grave. But few of these men reached 35 years of age. They drank, they smoked, they gambled. In them the beast destroyed tho mnn. Some of them lived long enough to get their fortunes, and went through them. The vnst majority of them did not live to got their Inheritance. From the irlnshon or 1 house of Infamy they were brought home to their fathers house, and In delirium began to pick off loathsome reptiles from tho embroidered pillow, and to fight bnck Imaginary devils. And then they were laid out In highly up holstered parlor, tho casket covered with flowers by Indulgent parents flowers suggestive of a resurrection with no hope. As you sat this morning at your breakfast table, and looked Into the faces of your children, perhaps yqu said within yourself, "Poor things How I wish I could start them In life with a competence! How I have been disappointed In all my expectations of what I would do for them!" Upon that scene of pathos I break with a paean of congratulation, thnt by your finan cial losses your own prospects for heaven, and the prospect for the heaven of your children Is mightily Im proved. You may have lost a toy, but you have won a palace. NOT UNMIXED BLESSING. "How hardly shall they that have riches enter Into the kingdom of God!" "It is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye than for a rich man to entfr the kingdom of heaven." What does tint mean? It means that the grandest blessing God ever bestowed upon you was to toko your money away from you. Let me here say. In passing, do not put much stress on the treasures of this world. You cannot take them along with you. At any rate, you cannot take them more than two or three miles; you will have to leave them at the cemetery. Attlla had three coffins. So fond was he of this life that he decreed that first he should be burled in a coflln of gold, nnd that then that should be Inclosed In a coflln of sliver, and that should be Inclosed In a coflln of Iron, and then a large amount of treasure should be thrown over his body. And so he was burled, and the men who burled him were slnln, so that no one might know where he was buried, and no one might there Interfere with his treasures. Oh, men of the world, who want to take your money with you, better have three coffins! Agnln, I remark, you ought to make the very best of your bereavements. The whole tendency Is to brood over these separations, and to give much time to the handling of mementoes of the departed, and to mnke long visita tions to the cemetery, nnd to say, "Oh, I can never look up again; my hope la gone; my courage is gone; my religion Is gone; my faith in God Is gone! Oh. the wear and tear and exhaustion of this loneliness!" LOSS OF CHILDREN. The most frenuent herenvomnnt In the loss of nhllilron At vnnr ,lo.. ...arl I 1 child had lived as long as you have I lived, do you not suppose that he ll'nlltfl linttA 1. n .1 .. 1. n... 1. ' ..v.u.u ...,.- nau uuuui wie Buine amount of trouble and trial that you have had? i If you could make a choice for your child between forty years of annoy ance, loss, vexation, exasperation, and uereuvemenis. anu rorty years In heaven, would you take the responsl- ' blllty of choosing the former? Would you snutch away the cup of eternal bliss and put Into the child's bands the cup of many bereavements? I Instead of the complete safety into ' which .hat child has been lifted, would you like to hold It down to the risks of this mortal state? Would you like to keep It out on a sea In which there have been more blpwrecki than aafe voyages? In it not a comfort to you to kndw that that child. Instead of being, besolled and flung Into the mire of Bin,' Is swung clear Into the skies? Are not those children to be congratulated that the point of celestial bliss which you expect to reach by a pilgrimage of fifty or sixty or seventy years, they reached nt a flash? If the last 10,000 children who had entered heaven had gone through the average of human life on earth, aro you sure all those 10,000 chil dren would have flnutly reached tho blissful termlnus7 Besides that, my friends, you are to look at this matter as a self-denial on your part for their benefit. If your children wont to go off In a May-day party; If your children want to go on u flowery and musical excur sion, you consent, You might prefer to have them with you, but their Jubi lant absence satisfies you. Well, your departed children have only gone out In a Muy-duy party, amid flowery and musical enlertulnnient, and Joys and hilarities forever. That ought to quell sonic of your grief, the thought of their glee. FRIENDS YONDER. So It ought to be that you could make the best of all bereavements. The fact that you have so many friends In heaven will make your own departure very cheerful. When you are going on a voyage, everything depends upon where your friends ure If they are on the wharf that you leave, or on the wharf toward which you are going to sail. In other words, the more friends you have In heaven tho easier It will be to get away from this world. The more friends here, the more bitter good bysj tho more friends there the more glo rious welcomes. So, nlso, my friends, I would have you make the best of your sickness. When you see one move off with elastic step and in full physical vigor, some times you become Impatient with your lame foot. When u mnn describes an object a mile off, and you cannot see it at all, you become Impatient of your dim eye. When you hear of a well man making n great achievement you be come Impatient with your depressed, nervous system or your dilapidated health. I will tell you how you can make the worst of It. Brood over It; brood over all these Illnesses, and your nerves will become more twitchy, nnd your dyspepsia more aggravated, and your weakness more appalling. But that Is the devil's work, to toll you how to make the worst of It; it is my work to show you a bright light In tho clouds. VIEW OF HEAVEN. From my observation, I judge that invalids have a more rapturous view of the next world than well people, and will have higher renown In heaven. The best view of the delectable moun tains Is through the lattice of tho sick room. There are trains running every hour between pillow and throne, between hospital and mansion, be tween bandages and robes, between crutch and palm branch. Oh, 1 wish some of you people who are com pelled to cry, "My head, my head! my fool, my foot! my back, my back!" would try some of the Lord's medicine! You are going to be well anyhow be fore long. Heaven Is an old city, but has ivver yet reported one case of sickness or one bill of mortality. No ophthalmia for the eye. No pneumonia for the lungs. No pleurisy for the side. No neuralgia for the nerves. No rheumatism for tho muscles. "The Inhabitants shall never say, 1 am sick." "There shall be no more pnln." Again, you ought to make the best of life's Hnallty. Now, you think I have a very tough subject. Yc do not see how I am to strike n spark of light out of the flint of tho tombstone. There are many people who have an Idea that death Is the submergence of every thing pleasant by everything doleful. If my subject could close In the upset ting of all such preconceived notions, It would close well. Who can Judge best of the features of a man those who are close by him, or those who are afar off? "Oh," you say, "those can Judge best of the features of a man who aro close by him!" Now, my friends, who shall Judge of the features of death whether they are lovely or whether they are repul sive? You? You are too far off. If I want to get a Judgment as to what really the features of death are, I will not ask you; I will ask those who havo been within a month of death, or a week of death, or an hour of death, or a minute of death. They stand so near the features, thoy can tell. They give unnnlmous testimony. If they are Chrlstlnn people, that death. Instead of being demoniac, Is cherubic. Some of you talk as though God had exhausted himself In building this world, and that all the rich curtains he ever made he hung around this planet, nnd all the flowers he ever grew he has woven Into the carpet of our daisied meadows. No. This world Is not the best thing God can do; this world Is not the best thing that God has done. One week of the year Is called blos som week called so all through tho land because there are more blossoms In that week than In any other week of the year. Blossom week! And that Is what tho future world Is to which tho Christian Is Invited blossom week for ever. It Is as far ahead of this world as Paradise Is ahead of Dry Tortugas, and yet here we stand shivering and fearing to go out, and we want to stay on the dry sand, and amid the stormy petrels, when we are Invited to arbors of Jessamine and birds of paradise. One season I had two springtimes. I went to New Orleans In April, and i marked the difference between going toward Now Orleans and then coming back. As I went on down toward New Orleans, tho verdure, the foliage, be' came thicker and more beautiful. When I came back, the further I came toward home the less the foliage, and less anu less It became until there wns hardly any. Now, It all depends upon the di rection In which you travel. If a spirit from heaven should come toward our world, he Is traveling from June toward December, from radiance toward dark ness, from hanging gardens towards Icebergs. And one would not be very much surprised If a spirit of God sent forth from heaven toward our world Fhould be slow to come. But how strange It Is that we dread going out toward that world when go ing is from December toward June from the snow of earthly storm to the snow of Edenic blossom from the arctics of trouble towards the tropica of eternal Joy. FEAR OF DEATH. Oh, what an ado about dying! We get so attached to the malarial marsh In which we live that we are afraid to go up and live on the hilltop, We nre alarmed because vacation Is coming. Eternal sunlight, and best program of celestial minstrels and hallelujah, no Inducement. Let us stay here and keep cold and Ignorant nnd weak. Do not Introduce us to Elijah, and John Milton and Bourdaloue. Keep ou. feet on the sharp cobble stones of earth Instead of planting them on the bank of amaranth In heaven. Give us this small Island of a leprous world Instead of the Immensities of splendor and de light. Keep our hands full of nettles, and our shoulder under the burOen. nnd our neck In the yoke, and hopples on our ankles, and handcuffs on our wrists. "Dear Lord," we seem to say, "keep us down here where we have to utter, instead of letting us up where we might live and reign and rejoice." OUT OF THE ORDINARY.

Josephine Kipling, the eldest child of Rudyard Kipling, was recently pun ished for telling an untruth and went to bed sobbing rebelllously: " Ithlnk It's real men, so there.
