S. guubnat Nashville, which overhauled the Beuna Ventura, a merchant ship car rying the Spanish Sag, ami a shot fired across her bow brought her to a eland still. She was taken lo Key West. This is the first gun of the war that is now on. The Havana harbor has been com pletely blockaded by tho U. S fleet under Rear Admiral Sampson. Sat urday uight the first shot from Spain was fired, when Moro castie opened its batteries on the U. S. fleet. The firing was dune more in a tentative way than as an attack. Not a shot found a billet and the American fleet disdaining Spain's wretched gunnery, maiutained a dignified silence. The Spanish freight steamer Pedro, captured by tho New York, was brought to Key West Saturday. The Miguel Jover, Spanish, load ed with lumber and staves, with 52 men and estimated to be worth $400, 000 is among tbe captured vessels. The Calaliua, toother Spanish freighter, was captured Sunday morn ing off Key West. The new fast liner, Paris, recently purchased by tho U. S. government, which the Spaniards were after, and which was reported captured, is paid to be safe. She would have been a great prir.e for the Spaniards. Secretary of State John Sherman has resigned from the Cabinet on ac count of declining health. Assistant Secretary, Jude Day, will succeed Sherman, and Prof. John I!. Moore, of Columbia College, N. Y. Ci:y, has been tendered the position of Assist ant Secretary. The Navy Depar tment has posted notice on tbe Matllme 'Change, N.Y. City, that official news is l&ceived that a Spanish tquadron, headed by the battle sb'p Pe'ayo, is mating for the Noith, piobab'y New Yotk. It consists of two ci uiseis, four torpedo boat destroyers and three torpedo boats, The fleet left Ferrol and Cadiz a fortnight ago, and is believed to be nearing our shores. It is hio'ed from the Navy department that the first naval battle may occur off B'ock Is land, at the bead of Long Island Sound. The Minneapolis and cruiser Columbia have been sent out e scout. The Columbia will stay ahead and report. Adjutant General Stewart, by di rection of Governor Ilatins, issued orders Monday night ordering tbe en tire division of the Pennsylvania Na tional Guard to mobelue to-morrow, Thursday, at Mt. Gretna. This ac tion was taken in response to au or der from Secretary Alger, calling upon the Governor for Pennsylva nia's quola of troops. WAR lltH BEEN DECLARED. Congiess has declared war in ac cordance w:ih the fallowing resolu tion which received the President's signature Monday :" "First That war be, and tho same is hciely d 'cla ed to exist and that war lias existed since the 21st day of April, A. D, 1898, including said day, between tbe United States of America and the kingdom of Spain "Second That the President of the United Slates be, and he hereby is directed and empowered to use tbe enti'e land and naval forces of the United States and !o call into the ac tual service of the United States the militia of the sevrial States t such extent as may be necessary to cany this act into effect." ' MOUE TKIZES. Yesterday the Navy Department, through news channels not available to newspapers, is said to have re ceived information that several ves sels of Sampson's fleet ciied a large simmer, supposed to be the Moo serrat, fifteen miles east of Mataozas. They signalled to pursue her and im mediately put off after the prize. They have not been heard from since. The Monserrat carries a thousand sol diers and a half million iu silver. Anotherspecial from Key West says the United States gunboat Newport has brought in two prizes, a sloop and a schooner. Yesterday's eveuts developed noth ing of a startling nature in war cir cles, and all seems quiet this morning. President McKinley Calls tor 125,000 Men to March Against the Spaniards. Tbe President has issued the fol lowing proclamation, calling for 125, 000 troops to serve two years: By the President of the U. S. A proclamation : Whereas, By a joint resolution of Congress, approved on the 20th day of April, 1808, entitled "Joiut reso lution for the recognition of the inde pendence of the people 'of Cuba, de manding that the government of Spain relinquish its authority and government of tho Island of Cuba, to withdraw its land aud naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters, and directing the President of the United Stales to use the land and naval force of the United States to carry these resolutions into effect," and, Whereas, By au act of Congress, entitled, "An act to provide for tem porarily increasing the military estab lishment of the United States in time of war and for other purposes," April 23, 1898, tho President was author ized to issue his proclamation calling for volunteers to serve in tbe array of tho United States. Now, therefore, I, William McKin ley, President of the United States, by virtue of the power invested in me by the constitution and laws, and deeming sufficient occasion to exist, have thought fit to call for and here by do call for volunteers to the aggre gate number of 125,000, in order to crrry ioto effect the purpose of the said resolution ; tbe same to be ap portioned as far as practicable among the several states and territories and the District of Columbia, according to population, and to serve for two years unless sooner discharged. The details for this object will be immedi ately communicated to the proper au thorities through the war department. Iu witness whereof I hereunto set my hand and cause the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington this 23d day of April, A. D. 1898, and of the independence of theUnited States the 122d. William McKinley. By the President. John Shekman, Sec'y Stale. The forty days which have elapsed since the Spanish-Cuban situation made war a probability, have been precious to the United States Govern ment in the matter of preparation. The country has been for years no toriously unprepared for war, aud to have rushed into war six weeks ago without preparation would have been criminal. President McKinley has shown great wisdom in holding out against the demands of politicians and soneationaiists for instant action, knowing, as he did, how absolutely essential it was to have a reasonable amount of time in which to prepare for war. . Down in Armstrong county the Republicans will bold their primaries May 14th, and tbe two present mem bers of tbe legislature from that coun ty, Hons. Geo. W. McNees aud Fred Turner, are asking for re-nomination. There should be no question of their return, fur both deserve well at the hands of the people and their party. Mr. McNees was especially elert in bis efforts looking to the interests of bis agricultural constituency and made himself very useful iu their behalf. His vote on all . questions affecting the welfure of his people was always ou the right side, and ho could ever be counted on to help kill a "snake" bill when such an one cunie up. Tbe same can be said of our genial friend Fred Turner. Always pos sessed with the "sand" tn say "no" at the right time, which often requires more courage than people generally aro wont to give credit for. Let the Republicans of Armstrong not hesi tate in renominating McNees and Turner if they care lo he honestly and faithfully represeuted. The jinges are not the first to offer their servicts to Uncle Sam in this crisis, it will be noticed. The contract for a $350,000 State Capitol building has beeu let to Al len B. Roike of Philadelphia, and it is to be finished in time fr the next Legislature, otherwise the contractor forfeits $150,000. The building will be of brick, and will be so construct ed that it may be faced with Penn sylvania marble if thought desirable. Pkesidest McKinley may be "slow and cautious," but the country has au uuqualified faith in his integ rity, fa irness and firmness, says the Baltimore Herald. The country al ready owes a debt to his conservatism, tho exercise of which has equipped us f r a year ioto which the hot heads threatened to precipitate us when our preparations were embryotic one pre liminary. Eveky Republican io tbe Senate, aud practically every one io the House of Representatives, voted fr tbe Cuhau resolution in the form sent to the President, while the cutire thirty-five votes east against it io the Senate were giveu by the Democrats, Populists aud "Silver Republicans." And this after all the great noise we have been hearing from this class of statesmen, deojaudug immediate war. With gold flowiugint' th Uuited States at the rate of a million dollars a day; with a total gold circulation in the country of $130,000,000 great er than it was at the date of tbe Chic ago Convention, and with the gold mines of the world turning out more of the yellow metal this year tbau ever before, the silver argument is not iineiy to ne a very impressive . I, I.. . . one, if offered in the coining cam paign. The Republican leaders in Con gress, under President McKinley'e administration, are preparing to make the proposed new war loan, one to which every man who has fifty dol lars to invest, may subscribe. The bonds are to be issued in sums of fifty dollars and upward; such facilities are to be given that people who de sire, may subscribe through pot of fices, banks, sub-trearuries, or regis tered letters, aud if tbe subscriptions exceed the amount of the bonds, as is likely to be (be case, the "scaling down process will be applied only to those whose bids are above one thous and dollars iu amount. The pri.i ary in Montgomery coun ty, which closed last Saturday, was warmly contested between W A. Stoue and John Wanamaker Mr. Stone made one or two speeches in the county aud Mr. Wanamaker stumped it pretty thoroughly. The county went for Stone by about four to one. It baa nine delegates. Mr. Wanamaker's free lance style of ora tory is evidently not appreciated. It leaves tbe impression everywhere that he would gladly wreck the Republi can party iu Pennsylvania in order to get even with Quay, to whom he attributes his own defeat for Uuited States Senator. Punxsu SDirit. There are indications that Spain will undertake to convince the world that it is an abused nation. It will say nothing of the awful misery it created in Cuba or the heavy injuries it has inflicted upon the United States. It will couseal the fact, un paralleled in the history of modern civilization, that it ordered a multi tude of women and children into con centration camps without supplying them with food. Tbe position as sumed by Spain bas been that sover eignty in a colony is a sacred warrant for any form of atrocity. That idea has run its course in Cuba. Spain's effort to be pathetic in its owo behalf is in strong contrast with its mon strous cruelty to tbe helpless Cubans. One of the war developementa is likely to prove quite embarrassing to the financial arguments which the sil ver men are preparing to trot out again when the congressional cam paign opens. .A natural inquiry as to the method likely to be pursued in raising funds nr a war iu tbe case of necessity has brought out the fact that there is more money in circula tion in the United States to-day than ever before in its history, tbe total being $1,756,058,645. This shows an increase of $246,000,000 in the 21 monllis since the Chicago convention declared that tbe money of the coun try could not materially increase without the free coinage of silver, a develnpemeut which will be quite em barrassing to the people who are ex pecting to burnish up their campaign arguments of 1896 for use in 1898. A steady increase of the money in cir culation at the rate of nearly $12, 000,000 per month bas a somewhat depressing effect upon the silver ar guments of of 1898. As evidenco of Eoglish sympathy. The favorite topical soog iu London is the one that declare! "We Will Face the World Together." When sung in tbe theaters with tho waving of the flags of Great Britain and the United States, it evokes great inthu siasm. The appcinttueut of Charles Emorv Smith, the talented editor of the Phila. Prett as Postmaster General to succeed General Gary, resigned, gives very general satisfaction to that gentleman's many admirers, and is another just recognition of the large and growing Smith family. The exports of agricultural pro ducts in the eight mouths since the Dingley law went into operation are tnoie than those of any full year dur ing the Operations of the Wilson law, despite the assertion of tho free trad ers that the high tariff rates of the Dingley law would destroy our for eign markets fur American products.
