AND LINOLEUM NEW PATTERNS, Reported That the American Vessel "Shenandoah," Bound for Liverpool from San Francisco, is in Custody of a Spanish Warship. Washington, April 23, 4:00 p. in. President Mckinley, after consultation with members of his Cabinet and prominent Senators, changed his previously announced intentions, and Issued his proclamation calling for i25,ooo volun teers to serve two years, if not sooner discharged. The Governors of the various states are expected to follow this up immediately by Issuing a proclamation for their quota from the National Ouards. Governor Hastings will furnish 8,6iS men. Washington, April 23. As outlined in these despatches yesterday President MuKlnley at 3:30 yusterday afternoon attaeliod his signature to the Volun teer army bill. At that time it was given out that the President would immediately issue a call to arms, but subsequently some technical dufucts were discovered in the law authorizing tile President to raise a volunteer army, and it was feared that the call could not bo legally issued until Congress takes supplemen tary action to-day. The joint resolution, it was found after the President placed his signature to tills momentous document, does not specify the number of troops to be called for. This phase of the subject was discussed last evening, and the Attorney General submitted an opinion this morning for the guiduueo of tho President. Tlie first member of the present Congress to resign for tlio purpose of going to war is Kepresentative James H. Ccmpball, of Illinois. He lias reported to the Secretary of War that he will at onco raise a regiment and oiler its services to the government. He is a Democrat. MESSAGE TO CONORESS. The President will send a message to Congress on Mpnday asking that body to inuke a formal declaration of war. The House met this morning at 10 o'clock, and immediately began the consideration of the Army re-organlzation bill. The President urged upon the members that it be passed to-day. The House this afternoon at 3:30, passed the bill. THE BLOCKADE COMPLETE. Under the stringent orders issued by the Secretary of tho Navy no information whatever about tho movements of the ships is e'ven out, and the public must look to the press reports for in formation in this respect. The blockude of the Cuban ports is a beautiful piece of strat egy. It is no paper blockade. Every place named iii the procla mation is now guarded by United States warships, and when more vessels are ready the blockade will bo extended. No merchant vessels will be allowed to run in and out without molestation, and Captain Sampson has instructions to fire upon any Spanish craft ho may come in contact with. A VALUABLE PRIZE. Tlie capture of tho Buena Ventura, as detailed in these des patches yesterday afternoon, caused much Joy in naval circles. It is not much to brag about, but is a good beginning. Her curgo is worth $500,000, including the vessel. Under tlie rules regarding captures by American naval vessels the Government will get one-half her value. Capt. Sampson ai Commander-in-Chief of tho squadron, to which the Nashville belongs, will get one-twentieth of the remaining half ; Com mander Maynard, the Nashville's skipper, will get ono-tonth of the remainder, and his officers and crew will soeuro proportionate shares of tho rest. There will probably be more captures of merchantmen in tho next day or two. Evory Collector of Customs on the Atlantic coast has been directed to inform tho Treasury Department about Spanish vessels that have left his port recently. Capt. Sampson will be told of tho names and ostensible destination of these. Tho call to be issued by President MoKinley for volunteers, and whioh was thought would be made to-day, has been post poned. It will not be issued until Monday, to avoid undue excitement on Sunday. The numbor named will be one hundred and twenty-five thousand. Pending tho issuo of the call for volunteers and the mustering of the volunteer army, Gon. Miles has decided not to leave Wash ington for the South with his stall. It is more than ever unlikely that the regulars will bo sent to Cuba before the volunteers are ready to go, though a detachment may bo sent to establish a baso of supplies ut some Cuban ports.

A despatch from Ma drid says that the most unpleasant feature of ths situation is tho panic which Is prevailing at the Madrid and Barcelona bourses and in financial circles throughout Spain. The Impartial says that in time days 15, 000,000 pesetas have thus been withdrawn from the Dank of Spain at Barcelona. The decline iu Spanish funds and all the favorite securities of native Investors has been painful. THE PARISSAFE. Sim I'asned the I. Irani I. ant Night mill U Now Out ul ltl'HCll. Special to KVICMINO IlKtlALl). Loadou, April 23, Tho American lino steamer Paris, rocontly purchased by the United Statos for war purposes, sailed yester- lay, and her captain has full warning that tho Spanish warship cruising oil' tho coast for a week expects to intercept tho steamer before sho passes the Lizard. She was due to pass that point at 11 o'clock last night. Tbe-eaptain of the Paris will take a special course In order to avoid being intercepted. Sho must rely on her speed, and can beat the Spanish vessel. The Paris, from advices received hero tills morning, passed the Lizard last night on schedule time, and should now bo well on her way westward, out of danger. Sho is now considered safe from capture. Tho Lizard point is the extremely southern point of Groat llritian. A boastful Spanish oilicor belonging to tho Naval Commission declares that the Ameri can torpedo boat Somors, which has com pleted her repairs at Falmouth, and which will sail In a lew hours, will fall Into Spanish lands as soon as sho has passed the three- mile limit.

London, April 23, Later The evening newspapers here havo dispatches saying the American steamship "City of Paris" has been captured on" tlie Irish coast. THE PARISSAFE. Matin for Iain of Wight, With SpnnUh Hunt In I'ursiilt. SpecUl to Kvexiso Hkbalii. Southampton, April 23, 4.00 p. in. The Paris is safe. An attempt was made by tlie Spanish eruisor to capture tho American liner, but tho Spauish cruiser was lighted in time and Captain Watkins of the Paris im mediately put his ship about and ran back in the Isle of Wight, a neutral port. Tho chase was a pretty ouc, but the Paris' speed was too much for her pursuer. There was no panic among the largo number of pas- scngors on the Paris. Tho Spanish ship followed her almost into neutral wators, and realizing tho danger of further pursuit changod her courso and put to sea again. Tho Islo of Wight is off tho southern coast of England in tho English Channel. It is not known when tho Paris will attempt to sail again. ANOTHER CAPTURE. VOhUlTEEHS BACKWARD Dissatisfaction Prevents Success of the .Local Movement. TWO DOZEN NAMES ENROLLED! The-Organization Adjourned to Meet at the Call of the President Another Move ment for the Organisation of Volunteers Is Also on Foot. Tho movement to organise a volunteer regiment in town to help Uncle Sam in his war with Spain was brought into tirumlnnnrn again last night by a public meeting iu the iiorougn council chamber. The result Was not as satisfactory as the promoters had Imped and tho suggestion that a new start be ' made seems very appropriate. As stated by a prominent gentleman of town, it is nut creditable to tlie town that a company of volunteers cannot bo raised, and yet tlie people of the town are not responsi ble for it. Tho movement has started out tainted with soino feeling of dissatisfaction and uutil that is removed tho volunteers will not stop forward to tlie numbers in which they roally exist. The nucleus fr a iuccess ful inovemout lies iu tho person of some well known and popular man of an age nearer thoso of tho people who would lie the volun teers, and of courso this young man should uecossarilly havo some knowledge of military Hats Trimmed Free of Charge AT THE nsi 29 N.

Special to Evekinu Heuald. Key West, April 23. The North Atlantic siiuadron, now blockading Cuba, is on tho lookout for the mailship Alfonso XII, which was due from Spain at Havana yesterday with troops aboard. Information was received hero yostcrday that great ozcitoment had been caused by a report that tho Alfonso XII had beeu blown up. This report was taken to mean tho cruiser of that name iu Havana harbor, but the story has mot been verified and is gener ally discredited. The Alfonso XII is one of tho fastest vessels of the Spanish Transatlantic Com pany. Sho is said to carry 1,100 soldiers. Like most ef tho vessels of that line, the Alfonso has two rapid-firo guns. Sho was duo at Havana yostorday, and if sho con tinues on her course and comes in contact with tho United States squadron now in Cuban waters there will bo active engage ments.

There were about eighty young men at the meeting last night and but ton per cent, were enrolled, making a total enrollment of twenty-four. Announcement was mado that a membership of at least ouo hundred was desiied. Captain George W. Johnson, the president of tho organization, asked to be excused Irom presiding on account of suffer ing from a seTere cold and W. J. Watkins servod as temporary chairman. On account of the absence from town of Harry Hafuor, tlie secretary, W. J. Morgan fillod tho posi tion for the evening. Capt. Johnson made an address exteuding about fifteen minutos.in which ho stated that thero hud not been tho slightest inteution of ignoring tho ex-members of Co. H, "thKeg't., N. G. P., and a cordial invitation to them to join in the movement was standing. Ho also stated that it was useless for anyone to hope that tho now organization w.uld be attached to tho National Guard. That was not the in tention, nor could it b done. Tho sole ob ject was to organize a volunteer conipauy and make a formal tender of its services through tue war department. After these remarks eight names were added to tho previous enrollment of sixteen and announcement wns mado that a blank for enrollment would be loft at some contrail v located store in tho town. The meoting then adjourned with the understanding that tho next will be held upon tho call of the chair. 1 his morning Capt.
