S. guubnat Nashville, which overhauled the Beuna Ventura, a merchant ship car rying the Spanish flag, and a shot fired across her how brought her to a stand still. She was taken to Key West. This is the first con of the war that is now on. The Havana harbor has been com pletely blockaded by the U. S fleet under Rear Admiral Sampson. Sat urday night the first shot fioni Spain was fired, when Moro castle opened its batteries on the U. S. fleet. The firing won dune more io a tentative way than as an attack. Not a shot found a billet and the American fleet disdaining Spain's wretched gunnery, maintained a dignified silence. The Spanish freight steamer Pedro, captured by the New York, was brought to Key West Saturday. The Miguel Jnver, Spanish, load ed with lumber and staves, with 52 men and estimated to be worth $400, 000 is among th. captured vessels. The Calaliua, .toother Spauisu freighter, was captured Sunday morn ing off Key West. The Dew fast liner, Paris, recently purchased by tho U. S. government, which the Spaniards were after, and which was reported captured, is said to be safe. She would have been a great pri;.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 IS. Moore, of Columbia College, N. Y. Ci;y, has been tendered the position of Assist ant Secretary. The Navy Depar ment has posted notice on be Mailime 'Change, N.Y. City, that official news is leceivcd that a Spanish tquadron, headed by the battle sb!p Pe'ayo, is maLing for the Noith, piobab'y New Yo;k. It consists of two ci uiseis, four torpedo boat destroyers and three torpedo boats. The fleet left Feriol and Cadiz a fortnight ago, and is believed to be nearing our shores. It is hin'ed from the Navy department that the first nayal battle may occur off B'ock Is land, at the head of Long Island Sound. The Minneapolis and cruiser Columbia have been sent out e scout. The Columbia will -tay ahead and report. Adjutant General Stewart, by di rectiou of Governor Ilaatins, issued orders Monday night ordering the en tire division of the Pennsylvania Na tioual Guard to uiobeli.e to-morrow, Thursday, at Mt. Gretna. This ac tiou was taken iu response to an or der from Secretary Alger, calling upon the Governor for Penusylva nia'e quota of troops. WAK Hi 3 BEEN DECLARED. Congiess has declared war in ac tonlarce w'lb the following resolu lion which received the President's signature Monday : "First That war be, and tbo same is heieby decla ed to exist and lhat war has existed siuce (be 21st day of April, A. D, 1898. including said clay, between the United Slates of America and the kingdom of Spain. "Second That the President of the United Slates be, and he hereby is directed and empowered tp use the enti-8 land and naval forces of the United States and to call into the ac tual service of the Uoiied States the militia of the several States to such extent as may be necessary to carry this ac( iulo effect." MORE TKIZES. Yesterday the Navy Department, through news channels not available to newspapers, is said to have re ceived iuformniioti that several ves sels of Sampson's fleet cited a large sttnnier, supposed to be the Mon serrat, fifteen miles cast of Matanzas. They signalled to pursue her and im mediately put off after the prize. They have not been beard from siuce. The Mouserrat carries a thousand sol diers and a half million iu silver. Another special from Key West says the United States gunboat Newport has brought in two prizes, a sloop and a schooner. Yesterday's events developed noth ing of a startling nature in war cir- cles.aud all seems quiet this morning. President McKinley Calls for 125,000 Men to March Against the Spaniards. The 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, 1898, entitled "Joint 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 and naval forces from Cuba and Cubau waters, and directing the President of the United States to use the land and naral forcei 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 the army of tho United States. Now, therefore, I, William McKin ley, President of the Uuited 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; (be 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 lor two years unless sooner discharged. The details for this object will be immedi ately communicated to the proper au thorities through the war department. In witness whereof I hereunto set ray hand and cause the seal of the United States to be affixed. Doue 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 Siiekman, Sec'y State. 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 beeu for years no toriously unprepared for war, aud to have rushed into war six weeks ago without preparation would have oeen criminal. President McKinley has shown great wisdom io holding wut against the demands of politicians and sensationalists for instant action, knowing, as be 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 hold their primaries May 14th, and the two present mem hers of the legislature from that coun ty, Hons. Geo. W. McNees aud Fred Turner, are asking for re-uominatioD. There should be no question of their return, for both deserve well at the hands of the people and their party Mr. McNees was especially elert iu bis efforts looking to the interests of bis agricultural constituency and made himself very ueefol 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 ou to help kill a "snake" bill when such an one cume up. The same can be said of our genial friend Fred Turner. Always pos eessed with the "sand 1 1 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 liesi tate in renominating McNees and Turner if they care to be honestly and faithfully represented. The jinges are uot the first to offer their services to Uncle Sara in this crisis, it will be noticed. The contract for a $350,000 State Capitol building has beeu let to Al len 13. Koike of Philadelphia, and it is to be finished in time fr the next Legislature, otherwise the contractor forftits $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. President McKinley may be "slow and cautious," but the country has au uuqualiSed faith in his integ rity, fairness and firmness, says the Baltimore Herald. Ihe country al ready owes a debt to his conservatism, the exercise of which has equipped us f r a year into which the hot heads threatened to precipitate us when our preparations were embryotic one pre liminary. Every Republican in the Senate, I and practically every one io the House of Representatives, voted for the Cuban resolution in the form sent to the President, while the cutire thirty-five votes cast 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 ot statesmen, demanding immediate war. Wrrn gold flowiuginto th United States at the rate ol 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 the Chic ago Convention, and with the gold mines ol the world turning out more of the yellow metal this year thau ever before, the 6'ilver argument is Dot likely to be a very impressive one, if offered in the coming cam paign. The Republican leaders in Coo greet", under President McKinley 's administration, are preparing to make the proposed new war loan, one t'i 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 pi.st of fices, banks, eub-trearuries, or regis tered letters, aud if the subscriptions exceed the amount of the bonds, as is likely to be the case, the "scaling down" process will be applied only to those whose bids are above one thous and dollars iu amount The pri.rary in Montgomery coun ty, which closed last Saturday, was warmly contested between W A Stone and Johu Wanamaker Mr. Stone made oue or two speeches in the county and Mr. Wanamaker stumped it pretty thoroughly. The county weot for Stone by about four to oue. It has nine delegates. Mr Wanamaker'a free lance style of nra tory is evidently not appreciated. It leaves the impression everywhere that he would gladly wreck the Republi can party iu Pennsylvania in order to get even with Quay, to whom he attributes hia own defeat for Uuited States Senator. Punxsy Spirit. 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. The positioo as sumed by Spain has been that eover 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 own behalf is in strong coutrast with its mon strous cruelty to tbe helpless Cubans. One of the war developements is likely to prove quite embarrassing Io the fiuaocial arguments which the ail ver men are preparing to trot out again when the congressional cam paign opens. .A natural inquiry aa to the method likely to be pursued in raising funds tor a war iu tbe case of necessity baa brought out the fact that there is more money in circula lion in tbe United Stales to day than ever before io its history, the tota being $1,756,058,645. This shows an increase of $246,000,000 in the 21 months since the Chicago convention declared that the money of the coun try could not materially increase without the free coinage of silver, develnpemeut which will be quite em barrassing to the people who are ex pectiDg to burnish up their campaign arguments of 1896 for us? in 1898. steady increase ol the money in cir eolation at the rate of nearly $12, 000,000 per month has a somewhat depressing effect upon the silver ar guuienls of of J.898. An evidence of English sympathy. The favorite topical song in London is the one lhat declare't "We Will Face the World Together." When sung in the theater with tho waving of the flags of Great Britain and the United States, it evokes great inthu siasm. The appi-intmeut of Charles Emory Smith, the talented editor of the Phila. Press 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 io the eight mouths since the Dingley law went into operation are more 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 for American products.
