TlK-re w-tv no balloons. We ARK fast gelling around to the point where there is but oue party, and that the party of aetion. Phobably Wanamaker thinks he would have belter luck fijri.tiug Spaiu than fighting Senator Quay. - Evekv day we read iu the newspa per that John Wanamaker is ready to enlist Thirty-five years ago things were different. Edward Everett said half a cen tury ago that the Cuban question was an American question. The truth of this remark is now apparent to all. FifiM all vxuuuU Williaai A. Stone, though a rolling tone through Pean pylvania, has gathered considerable mM in the way of delegates to the Htate Convention. Li Hcsu Chanu Is alxut to h? an other peapock-fealher on a -count of be ing too friendly with the Russian bear; and the Spanish fox is in a fair way to lose his tail to the American Eagle. Every ihv will be delighted to have Gen. Weyler lead the Spanish trxij. Probably nine-tenths of the men who iili.-4ou the American side will do bo with the sjierial desire of taking a fchot t Wej U.T. The people who have beeu telling Congress and the President to "get to gether" are answered. Congress and the President are together now, and they will sUy together until the Span iards are driven out and the Cuban in cident is closed. CorxTY Chairman 11. M. Kerkley has issued his call for the Ipubliean primary to lie held on Saturday, May lth. "Fake" Chairman J. A. Kcrkey lias not yet designated a time for his county pii nary. It will proliably lie held late in the fall. The Cubans have fought heroic ally, and against terrible odds. Their strength and energy are not likely to decrease under the form of intervention adopted by the United States. There is something extremely catching in nelf-preservation, and, with the added prosjiect of national liberty, Cuba may be expected to put up the fight of her life. The only Ik-publican primaries held In the State last week were in Mercer couuty, and with the usual result : del egates to the Stat convention favora hie to Col. W. A. Stone were elected and members of the Assembly who will support Senator i'iay were nonii Dated. Senator Quay received a large majority of the popular vote for United States Senator. Senator QrAY dealt a deadly blow at Spain on Thursday by introducing the following resolution in the Senate: "That the President is hereby authori sed in hi discretion and with such limit atioiis ami exceptions n shall seem to him expedient, to prohibit the export of ooal and oilier materials used iu warmvn any seaport of the I 'rrit-ed States until otherwise ordered by Congress." Inasmuch as coal is as precious to Spain just now as powder, and as nec essary, the House promptly concurred in the resolution, and President Mc- Kinley ailixed his signature to it. Postmaster-General Gary ten dered his resignation to President Mfr Kinley last Thursday, and the Presi dent at ouce sent to the Senate the name of Charles Emory Smith, of Phil adelphia, to nuccivd Mr. Gary. The nomination was promptly confirmed. It is said that Secretary-of Stato Sher man ill resign shortly, and that As sistant Secretary l.ty will lie promoted to his place. There is a rumor to the effect that Secretary-of-War Alger and Becretary-of-tlie Navy Long both con template retiring from tlie cabinet on account of ill health, but the minor is strongly denied. CorxTY Chairman fierkley informs us that the olUoiai announcements for the Ik-publican, primary election will lie published next week, (j iite a num ber of candidates have already regis tered their names with him, and a 1 others expecting to be candidates will have done so by the close of the week. 8entor M. S. Quay will submit the question of his re-election to the Uni ted States Senate to a vote of the lie publicans of the county, and two sets of candidates to the State convention have already registered their names. The Isiue will be a clearly defined one, and no amount of dust-throwing will be able to becloud it. Mes?r Isaiah Gm1, H. F. Barron and C. F. Cook will be the candidates for delegates of the political 'ri formers' who, uuderthe State leadership of Mr. John Wana maker, tlie Puiladelp'tii millionaire "Merchant Prince," and the local lead ership of "General" V. II. Koontz, J. A. Berkey, et al., propw, if they can, to "purify the party" by running au independent ticket this fall and elect ing a Democratic iovernor. As to the sincerity of Mr. Wana maker's desire for "reform"' one can judge by the political company liekeej in his own city of Philadelphia, his principal reliance for support from that quarter being from that very eminent reformer and )olitical puri-, Mr. Da vid Martin. Of the "reform" preten sions of tlie local leader?, one has ouly to look at the conduct of tlie County Commissioners' office since it Ml under their balefu. ban some seven years since with the induction of S. U. Sho lier and Geo. F. Kimmell into cilice. Jacob W. Peck, Edward Hoover aud David E. Wagner have registered as candidates for delegates and ii I appeal for support to the loyal Republicans of the county w ho are believers in party and party organization and iu the prin ciple of majority rule. If elected they will be found in the convention sup porting CoL W. A. Stone or some other equally fearless and lionest Iiepullican . and in opposition to Mr. Wanamaker and all other hypocritiesd sham re formers. The individuality of the candidates for delegates will not much enter into the coult, but the men and principles they represent is what will le taken Into consideration by the intelligent voters of the county. It will lie a fight to the finish be tween the friends of Senator Quay and the believers in jarty rules aud party organizatiou on the one side, aud the friends of John Wanamaker, jiarty wreckers aud disotauizers and fi Jo Wen; of shutii r. form on the otli r.

The prize is the Spanish steamer Buena Ventura, of about I0 tons, which sailed rw-ently from Pawttgoula, Miss., for Rot terdam, loaded with lumber. The cruiser met her when almut twelve miles out this morning. A moment later a gun" was fired from the port battery of the Nashville, and the shot struck the water a few hundred yards away. The Spaniard at this time was half a mile from the Nashv'lie, and she held her way, making no sign of having given the s'tot any attention. For two minute the Nashville held her way in the chase and then tried another shot, that passed apparently within a rod of the Spaniard's bow, and splashed the spray from the crest of the waves for a mile beyond. The officer on the Spaniard's bridge at once reversod her eneiues. while a man ran aft and hastily lowered her flag. At 7:15 o'clock the Nashville brought to alongside the Spainapd, having every gun, big and little, in the starboard broadside pointed at her. Then a whaleboat was lowered, and Ensign Magrauder, with a boarding crew of six men, was sent to take charge of the prize. She was found to be the Cargo Line blcamship Buena Ventura, plying be tween New York and Havana and West India ports. She had a cargo of lumber on deck forward that was stowed so as to give her a list to port. Meantime the torpedo boat Foote had run down in the wake of the Nashville, and she brought to beside the Buena Ventura. Knsign Magruder took charge of the Spaniard's papers and sent a report re garding them to the Xashvilie. The pa oers were sent thence to tha flagship by the Foote. SIXTEEN WAR saiFS GUAKD CUBA.

United States Min ister Woodford was this morning handed his passports before he could present President McKinley's ultimatum to the Spanish government, which bad already received advance information from its minister at Washington, Senor Polo y Bernabe. A semi-official note, issued this after noon, says : "The Spanish government, having re ceived the ultimatum of the President of the United States, considers that tbe document constitutes a declara tion of war against Spain, and that tbe proper form to be adopted is not to make acy further reply, but to await the expi ration of time meulioned in the ultima tum before opening hostilities. In the meantime the Spanish authori ties have placed their possessions in a slate of defense, and their fleet is already on its way to meet that of the United Slates." Lee Goes te Cuba. Richmond, Va., April 22. It can be stated authoritatively that Consul Gen eral Le6 will, on Monday next, lie offered a commission of Major-General of Vol unteers. He has received this assurance from President McKinley and Secretary Alger. As soon as his commission ia i a tied General Lee and his staff will leave for the point where the troops are to be mobilized for Cuba. The General has wired to Secretary of War Alger recommending that all troops sent to Cuba shall be provided with linen uniforms and straw hats. "Cure the oougb and aave the life."

Preside nt Mo- Kinley's proclamation notifying nations of the blockade of Havana Harlior, the capture of thelnmlx'r-laden Spanish ship P.uena Ventura by the American cruiser Nashville, and tbe passage by Conpress of the Volunteer Army bill were the three great events in connexion with the Span- is!i-.merian w ar to-dny. The notice ofthe blockade of Havana is uot exe-ted to precipitate naval hostili ties. The American war vessels w ill re main well out of range ol the guits of Morro Castle and the shore lmtU'rics so that thera is no likelihood of a gun lx-ing fired for an indefinite period. Captain Sampson will have it all bis own w ay for a long time. So far as is known there are no Spanish war vessels in anvthing like th t vicinity, nor are any expected for the reason that Spain has n4 one coaling station, which is necessa ry for her to maintain her ships in or near those waters. Just how lmg the blockade will last will proliably depend upon the activity of the insurgents and the amount of fd supplies avail ible for the Sp nish garri son in Havana. Some officials of the Na vy Department predict that it will uot last over six weeks. The capture of the Spanish merchant vess 1 liuena Ventura bv the gunlwHt Nashville, constitutes the real lieginning of hostilities. The Nashville, it is stated here, fired two shots at the vessel, and is therefore'entitled to the honor of having tired the first shot in the Spanish-American war. Naval ofSi-ers here are elated over the capture of the Buena Ventura, which Hie records show is rate! as a No. 1, first-class. She is said to be worth with her cargo aliout half a million dollars. This will mean a material addition to the private fortunes of her raptors. The mode of pro cedure in bringing aliout her disposition as a prize vessel, will lie to bring action in the United States District Court. If the court finds that tlie ship was a legiti mate prize she will l appraised, con- dumne I, and then sold at auction by the United States marshal. If she is taken by the government then the court will take notice of her value as shown by the inventory. One-Ualfof the value of the prize will goto the government, f the other half oiie-twentiiHh part will go to the com minding officer of the fleet ; the fleet cap tain w ill receive one one-hundredth part; the Kilance of the other half will go to the Nashville. Of the part going to tlie Nashville one tenth will be given the commander of the vessel and the rest will le distributed among all the oilieers aud men on board according to their Tate of pay. Naval vessels within signal distance at the time a capture is made are entitled to a share in the prize. 8PANUED3 BORSISa CUBA. Troops at Gaantanamo Leave Tuwns ia Aibea. Kinoston, Jamaica, April 24, The United States Consul at Baracoa, Cuba, Alfredo T. Triay, his wife and child, two Spanish merchants and twenty-two Cu bans and Cuban-Americans, mostly wo men and children, f rotn G uantanamo, de barked from the Kly here to-day, after i 21 hon r q u aranti ne. AMERICAN FLAOS WRECKED. When tbe steamer left Guantanamo on Friday last, a Spanish mob, iucluding many soldiers, filled the public square and adj-u-ent streets, yelling ' ditath to the Yankees." Several American flags were soiled, torn, trampled and treated with elaborate unmentionable Indignities. Some naturalized Americana were com pelled to take part in the insulting work. on the threat of death if they refused. TOWNS LEFT IN KflNS. Orders of tbe armistice were posted Friday at Guantanamo. Two days pre vious the troops beg.iu con oeut rating at the principal sea-coast cities, abandon ing all the interior towns aud planta tions, in many cases burning them. The passengers on the Kly believe tbe devast taion of that part of the island will be completed before the Americans can in vade the ports held by the Spaniards. Oar State Conventions. From the Lancaster Inquirer. The I icpublicau State convention which meets in June promises to be a most interesting body. The point of interest is the selection of a candidate for Governor, and several eminent gen tlemen are contending for that honor. Among the most promineut are Win. A. Stone, Charles W. Stone and John Wanamaker. It is within tbe truth to sty that cither of these gentlemen would make a creditable candidate whom the Ilpublicaus of the State could consistently support. The purpose of having a nominating convention is to determine who shall be the candidate of the party. This is d ne by vote, and whoever the major ity selects is, accordiug to all party rules, the chosen enndidate. To him the whole party, if its members act in good faith, gives its united support, Other wise there would be no u in holding a convention at alL This of course presupposes that the nomination is fairly raada that the nominee is the choice of a majority of the convention. There is a well-founded belief that a number of would-be political leaders in this State, claiming to be Republicans, do not intend to ob-y this rile the pres ent year. According to their own dec larations their purpose is, if the nom ination does not suit them, to start au independent movement for the purpose of throwing the Stale into the hands of the Democrats. In order to justify this movement these party wreckers claim that Col. Wm. A. Stone, who seems thus far to l' the strongest candidate, is the favor ite of Senator Quay. Well, if this lie true, what of it? Has Senator Q lay no right to favor any candidate? This is a new doctrine aud a most pestilent one, and is but a miserable subterfuge of a set of party wreckers" who are de termined to ruin the party they can not rule. The old, sensible and time-honored rule, that the will of the majority shall govern, is the only safe doctrine to cling to. It matters not whose favorite it is that receives that endorsement whether Wanamaker's or Quay's, or some one's else k-t him receive the uui ted support of the party to which he la in justice en titled.

ULTIMATUM. Text ef the Bote Which Woodford Could Sot Pretest te Spain. A PLAI5 OEDZE TO GET OUT. Washington, April 21.-The following statement regarding tbe ultimatum to Spain was issued to-day : Yestertlay. April 20. about II o'clock a. in., the department or slate served notice of the purpose of this gov ernment by delivering to MinisU-r Polo copy of an instruction to Jlimster Woodford, and also a copy of the resolu tions passed by the Congress of tbe Uni ted States on the 13lh iust. After the re ceipt of this notice the Spanish minister forwarded to the State department a re quest for his passports, which were fur nished to him yesterday afternoon. Copy of ihe instructions to Woodford is here with appended. The United States minister at Madrid was at the same time instructed to make a like communication to the government of Spain. This morning the department received from General Woodford a tele- grain, copy of which is hereunto attached, showing that the Spanish government bad broken off diplomatic relatione with this Government. This course renders unnecessary any further diplomatic ac tion on the part of the United States. The following is the message to Madrid : April 20, ls. WoonFORn, Minister, Madrid: Yon have boon furnished with the text of a Joint resolution voted by the Con gress of the United States on the 19th inst, approved to-day, in relation to the pacification ofthe island of Cuba, In pursuance of that act the President directs you to immediately commuuicate to the government of Spain said resolution. with the formal demand of the Govern ment of the United States that the gov ernment of Spain at once relinquish its authority and government in the Island of Cuba and withdraw' its land aud naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters. In taking this step the United States hereby disclaims any disposition or intention to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction or con trol over said island except for the pacifi cation thereof, and asserts its determina tion when that is accomplished to leave the government and control of the island to its people under such free and inde pendent government as they msy estab lish. If by the hour of noon on Saturday next, the 23J day of April inst, there be not communicated to this Government by that of Spain a full and satisfactory re sponse to this demand and resolution. whereby the ends of peace in Cuba shall lie assured, the Presideut will proceed without further notice to use the power and authority enjoined anJ conferred upon him by tbe said joint resolution to such extent as may be necessary to carry the same into etTecA. Shkrman, Minister Woodford's reply follows, re ceived at 9.02 a. ui. : Maprio, April 21, W8. Sherman, Washington : Early this (Thursday) morning, imme diately after the receipt of your open tel egram and before I had communicated same to Spanish government, Spanish minister for foreign affairs notified mo that diplomatic relations are broken be tween the two countries and that all offi cial communication between their re spective representatives have ceased. I accordingly asked for safe passports. Turn legation over to British embassy and leave for Paris this aftern-sin. Have notified consuls. Woodkouu. State Troopi Eeady for Service.
