IN II NAVAL RAN Proposed Withdrawal of Warships From Cuban Waters. TORPEDO BOAT SOMERS HELD NOT ALLOWED TO LEAVE THE BRITISH PORT UNDER NEUTRALITY LAW. den. Blanco Says he Can Defend Havana Without the Assistance of Spanish Warships We Shall See If His Prediction is Verified by Future Events. Special to Evening Herald. Washington, April 20. The Ways anil Mean Committee continued its work on tho war rev enue measure to-day. Yesterday the Domocrats presented some amend ments and changes, tho most impor tant being to insert an income tax, to add a tax on railroad tickets and to provide a sinking fund for the re dumption of bonds. Tlie Democratic members of tho committee were given until to-day to get their amendments into shape. Tho bill was reported to the House tills afternoon. William O. Day, who was selected to succeed Secretary of State Sher man, according to Hkhald despatches yesterday, was confirmed by the Son- ate to-day. John B. Moore, Professor of International Law at Columbia University, was also namod as Mr. Day's successor as First Assistant Sec retary. Many British colonies have notified tho State Department that neutrality has been proclaimed. Tho naval department has made an important change in the strategical plan arranged for the North Atlantic squadron now atCuba. Its execution, however, will depend on tho move ments of the Spanish squadron now at Cape de Verde islands. Tho new arrangement provides for the withdrawal from tho blockading squadron of the six armor-clads and their concentration at some central point on the Atlantic coast, from which they would be enabled to make a quick movement for the protection of Northern cities or rejoin the other vessels in tho West Indies. The plan of the Spanish ileet is not unlikely to proceed to New lork, Boston, or some other important place for the purpose of toinbardment, in tho hopo that this Government will not be able to send a sufficient force to meet it boforo great damago has been in Illcted. Tlie vossels which would be with drawn to carry this plan into effect are tho armored cruiser Now York, Admiral Sampson's flagship ; the bat tleships Iowa and Indiana aud tlie coast defence monitors Puritan, Ter ror and Atnphitrite. In order that the navy department may be informed as to the probable destination of the Spanish fleet, a number of swift cruisers, including the Columbia and Minneapolis and the four American liners, will scour tho sea for hundreds of miles beyond the American coast on the lookout for tne eniemy. If thoy should sight the Spanish vessels they will shpw a a clean pair of heels and make for the nearest American port and inform the navy department of the approach of the enemy. There is every reason to believe that the first naval buttle of the war will be fought in Philippine waters before tho end of the week. Three of tho American vessels left Hong Kong Sunday and three others yes terday. They will move on Manilla in n day or two. Spain has four cruisers and five gunboats at Manilla, and six gunboats at tho southern extremity of the Philippine islands. It is now belUved that G,000 reg ulars, under command of General Shatter, will be landed at Cuba within a week, to establish u baso to land food aud supplies for the roconcen trados, and to open communication with Gomez. Inlj CAPTURED TODAY I Schuylkill County Companies Will Leave To-morrow Night. ORDERS ISSUED THIS MORNING- GUARDSMEN IK SHENANDOAH, MAHA NOY CITY AND GIRARDVILLE HUSTLING. ' The Officers in Command Say the Boys Are Ready For Duty and Will Report Promptly Thursday Morning at nt. Gretna, the Point of Rendez vous. Tho call for the National Guards lias been issue at last and within thirty hours the companies located In this county will bo on their wy to lit. Gretna, tho piaco selected for th rendezvous. Shonandoah will bo represented in tho as sembly by Lewis Hopkins, corporal; William J. James, William Williams and Patrick Smith. Wm. I'enu will send Henry Foglc and Charles Drosslor.

Tho entire diyisios will bo mobilized at Mt. Gretna by Thursday noon. Tho camp cquippago of the division will bo ordered on cars at the state arsenal to-morrow morning aud shipped to Mt. Gretna. The order calls for 10,600 infantry as the quota from this stato by tho national govern ment. In tho ro-organization these men will bo divided Into 10 regiments of 12 companies to tho rtgiruont and four battorios of heavy artillery. Tho companies art to havo a minimum of 81 men and a maximum of 100. The batteries will havo 204 mon tach, , Capt. Dankj. of Co. F, 8th Itegt.. Girard vllle, and Capt. Comrey, of Co. E, 8th Hegt., Mabanoy City, recoived their ofllcial notifica tions at ten o'clock this morning from Col. McGee. The orders read as follows : "Wrightivillo, Pa., April 20, 1695. Report with your command at Mt. Gretna on Thursday morning, April 28th, at 10 o'clock. Consult railroad oilicials. "Frank J. McGke." The orders wero received by telegraph, but wore not unexpected. For stveral days tne guardsmen had been impatiently awaiting the orders to march and wore ready to do so upon an hour's notleo. Many tirats have the Keystouo stato boys gone to that pretty spot Mt. Gretna which General Gobin's brigado encompassos, but never bei'oro have they goue as n prologuo to tho grim tragedy of grisly war. On this visit the lints will bo drawn moro strictly than over bofore. It will bo a dress rehearsal for the debut on the field of a tropical stage. It is expected that tho Guard will bo at least ten days or two weeks at Mt. Gretna before tho volunteer organizations are perfected aud ready to move South. Just how many of the Guard will volunteer Is not known, but an officer of the Eighth Regiment says he It sure that at least 00 per cent, would volunteer, and that they were simply waiting for tho Presidont to issue his call. Tho intention, after the Guard it mob ilized at Mt. Gretna, Is to havo tho men volunteer by regiments, to that tho Governor can commission their present officers. A foaturo that is liable to ruako troublo, howover, is tho formation of regi ments of three battalions and 1200 men. Iu order to do this, it is claimed, regiments will have to be broken, as It will take at least two of tho present size to make ono of 1200 men and throo battalions. Tho battalions will alio have to bo reformed, and throe battalions made out of four. This w.111 necessitate the dropping of a number of colonels, lieutenant colonels and majors, according to tho date of their commissions. Whllo tho Guardsnnn naturally desire to nave tno present ouicers retained it is un certain how tho commands will ho brigaded, aud thoro is a feeling that the general officers who will bo commissioned by tho President, will be appointed from the regular army. and consequently, if sent to Cuba, thero is no cortalnty that the Pennsylvania boys will all be together. According to the latest reports received from Pottsvillo, Girardvlllo and Mahauny City tho companies of tho National Guard at tho respectiro places will start for Mt, Gretna to-morrow night, probably betweou 11 and 12 o'clock, in tlruo to reach their des tination between B and 0 o'clock on Thurs day morning.
