PRESIDENT'S PROCLAMATION
Notloe of Blockading of Caban Porta Barred
on Kuropean Power*.
Washington, D.C.—The President has is
lued the following proclamation declaring a
blockade of the principal ports of
Cuba. Notice of this action was given
to the European Powers, who were al
so informed of the decision of this gov
ernment not to countenance privateer
ing:
Whereas, By a Joint resolution pass
ed by the Congress and approved April
20, 1898, and communicated to the gov
ernment of Spain, It was demanded
that said government at once relin
quish Its authority and government in
the island of Cuba and withdraw its
land and naval forces from Cuba and
Cuban waters; and the President of
the United States was directed and
empowered to use the entire land and
and naval forces of the United States
and to call Into actual service of the
United States the militia of the several
States to such extent as might be ne
cessary to carry said resolution Into ef
fect; and
Now, therefore, I, William Mc-
Klnley, President of the United States,
In order to enforce the said resolution,
de hereby declare and proclaim that
the United States of America have in
stituted and will maintain a blockade
of the north coast of Cuba, Including
ports on said coast between Cardenas
and Bah la Honda and the port of Cien
fuegos on the south coast of Cuba
aforesaid, in pursuance of the laws of
the United States and the law of na
tions applicable to such casee. An effi
cient force will be posted so as to
prevent the entrance and exit of ves
sels from the ports aforesaid. Any
neutral vessel approaching any of said
ports or attempting to leave the same,
without notice or knowledge of the es
tablishment of such blockade, will be
duly warned by the commander of the
blockading forces, who will indorse
on her register the fact, and the date
of such warning, where such Indorse
ment was made; and If the vessel shall
again attempt to enter any blockaded
port she will be captured and sent to
the nearest convenient port for such
proceedings against her and her cargo
as prise as may be deemed advisable.
Neutral vessels lying in any of said
ports at the time of the establishment
of such blockade will be allowed 30
days to issue therefrom.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed.
Done in the City of Washington, this
22d day of April, A. D. 1808, and of
the Independence of the United States
the one hundred and twenty-second.
WILLIAM M'KINLEY.
By the President.
JOHN SHERMAN,
Secretary of State.
National Ouarli ttetaln Tli.lr Identity.
Washington, I). C—Under the law the
members of the National Guard must volun
teer and be regularly mustered into the
service of the United States, arrange
ments have been perfected for preserv
ing the regimental Identity and the
men allowed to serve under the officers
chosen by them and now commanding
them.
This special permission has been giv
en by the War Department In recogni
tion of the desire of the men to serve
in a corps which they have built up
by years of work and for whose record
they have a feeling which would
prompt them to even more than efforts
to win honor.
The law does not give the President
power over the State troops so that
they can be ordered out In a body for
the service of the Government.
For duty outside the State they must
volunteer, and as volunteers they
might be assigned to any regiment or
duty which might need their services.
Each regiment will retain the num
ber of its brigade and will thus be able
to not only represent Its State at the
front, but Its brigade as well. After
reaching the front, If the membership
of a regiment is diminished by wounds,
sickness or death, its ranks will be fllle
cd up from the brigade It represents.
The company offlceia of each regi
ment will be elected by all the officers
of the brigade. They will be required
to pass an examination, and will then
be commissioned by the Governor.
The field and staff officers of each regi
ment will be selected by the Governor.
Afraid of lifting Sunk.
Galveston, Tex.—Capt. Barnett of
the British steamer Asloun, who was
at Cape Verde Islands, March 31 Bt, has
arrved here.
He sayß the delay of the Spanish tor
pedo flotella was caused by the crews
of the boats.
Many of the engineers and crew were
afraid to make the trans-Atlantic trip
on the torpedo boats. Finding the
Government determined that thev
should go, as a last resort, they crip
pled the machinery of their own ves
sels.
As a proof of this statement, Capt.
Barnett cites the fact that none of the
naval engineers were allowed to make
the necessary repairs, the work being
done by local engineers of Las Palmas.
Offer* His Yacht Free.
New York.—Mr. Augustus Schemerhorn
has offered his yacht Free Lance to the
Government "free of cost and all obli
gations." It is the first offer of a ves
sel free.
Secretary Long lias accepted the of
fer and has thanked Mr. Schermerhorn
heartily for It.
The Free Lance Is a fine vessel, 130
feet long, with a speed of sixteen knots
an hour.
