INSIDE THE LINES Press Boat Dauntless Had Exciting Experience Last Night. NEAR BEING SUNK -BY CINCINNATI First Discovered by the Torpedo Boat Dupont. —__ + —_- STRONG ADVICE ———_— SOME (Copyright 1398, by Associutea Press.) ON BOARD THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH BOAT DAUNTLESS.Matanzas, y West, Fla. April 25, 7:42a.m. and 10 o'clock last night the Associated Press dispatch boat Dauntless steaming quietly toward Matanzas, lights were reflected on the sky a ew miles southwestward. A large fire on ore was exciting comment on board the atch boat, and wonder was rife as to where the [nited States blockading fleet was to be found. Suddenly a lookout on board the dispatch boat reported: “Torpedo boat astern. Coming up fast.” “A moment or so liter, by her lights, two red and one green, and by a rocket which she sent up the turpedo boat Dupont was made out. The rocket was answered by the glare from two search lights on board the cruiser Cincinnati, the beams being thrown full on the Dauntless and on the Dupont. The dispatch boat of the As- sociated Press had come, unawares, within three miles of the Cuban shore, and far in- side the prescribed limits. It Was Real War. What followed was short, sharp and war- like. The Dupont ran up to the dispatch boat and hailed her. “What boat is that Before answering the hail an order came from the megaphone, saying, “Keep out of this. Keep outside the_ six-mile line, or you will get a shot through you.” After further colloquy, much more friend- ly in tenor, as the Dupont learned our peaceful mission, we were directed to pro- ceed slowly toward the Gincinnati, and we were also advised to use caution, as other- wise, it was added, trouble would befall us. The Dauntless proceeded slowly, but it seems not slow enough, and the glare of the cruisers searchlights fell on Captain Floyd. The first intimation that we were in too close proximity to the warship was contained in the report of a six-pounder. Then came a quick hail: “Heave to, Daunt- less Threatened With a Shot. ‘Then came the order: “Back her, back her, or you will get a shot through you.” She was backed. Then the Dupont stole up, quietly report- ing to the Cincinnati. “This is the boat we sighted inshore.” A voice from the Cincinnati replied, “Very good. We will send a boat on board of her.” All this time the glare of the cruiser’s searchlights on the Dauntless was almost intolerable. Soon afterward a boat from the Cincin- nati, pulled by six oars, with Ensign McIn- tyre in the stern sheets, came alongside. The first order was: “Your papers and log, please.” These were produced and were found to be satisfactory. Then, sure of cordial re- lations being assumed, we found we had transgressed far within the limits set for vessels, and had had a close shave of being fired on with shot. We exchanged news, and the Cincinnati having ordered the Dauntless to lay to, permission was requested to return to Key We Ensign McIntyre said he would transmit the request to the Cincinnati. Be- fore leaving the Dauntless the cadet made the following entry in the log of the dis- patch boat: “At 1 o'clock boarded by Naval Cadet E. W. McIntyre of U. S. S. Cincin- nati and captain was informed that they were not to enter any Cuban port, under penalty of being fired upon. Boat must first report to outside squadron and obtain permission before entering any port.” Took Cincinnati's Mail. The Cincinnati was also informed that the Dauntless would cheerfully take back any mail. In ten minutes a boat returned with this message: ‘Captain Chester's compliments, and he will be obliged if you will take in this mail. You can go. Advise that you steam due west six miles when you make your first course, or you may get into more trouble.” ‘The instructions were obeyed literally, and the Dauntless set off on her return. Before she had gone six miles we saw a torpedo boat astern, evidently keeping an eye on us. Then we saw the Cincinnati's searchlights sweep the horizon, and soon afterward we heard four shots in quick succession. As they were not followed by others, we presumed that some other boat had been overhauled. Certainly there was no bombardment of Matanzas commenced at night. The Dauntless made a good run, the north gale having abated and the water being smooth in the stra She arrived off Sand Key light at 5 o'clock this morn- ing. AUDAZ ORDERED TO LEAVE POR Admiral at Queenstown Gives Spaniard Official Notice. QUEENSTOWN, April The Briti admiral in command of this station, Re: Admiral Claude Buckler, ordered the Sp ish torpedo boat Avdaz, undergoing extensive repair here. owing to damage which she sustaine] while on her way to Spain, to leave this port before 6 a.m. today, owing to the proclamation of neutrality issued by the, British govern- ment. ‘There is little doubt in nayal circles here that the Audaz, which, in compliance with orders from the British admiral, left port at o'clock this morning, will go to Ferrol or Cadiz from here, as a considera- ble quantity of her war equipments have still to be placed on board of her before she can be pronounced ready for active servi ‘ Her sister boat, the Osado, which towed her here from Waterford, into which port they put in after the Audaz was damaged, went to Ferrol from Queenstown to be fitted with the equipments not furnished by the English builders, In view of the break- ing out of hostilities, the dock company at Cork, which has beeen repairing the tor- pedo boat, has rushed work night and day on the small craft. Since Friday her Spa: ish crew has been in high spirits, continu- ally waving bunting and handkerchiefs or otherwise expressing satisfaction at the prospect of taking part in the naval move- ments of Spain. Formal Notice to Issue. LONDON, April 25.— The officials of the British foreign office expect that the Lon- don Gazette, the official organ of the gov- ernment, will publish to morrow evening a formal notice that the warships of the bel- Ugerents, Spain and the United States, must leave British ports within twenty- four hours. The document, it is added, s long and complicated. It contains clauses covering the case of vessels which ere unable to leave in the stipulated time owing to de- fects. ‘The authorities of the British ports have British n- which has been n- already been potified that the order is about to be published. ee STEAM LAUNCHES ARE ARMED. Rap Guns Mounted on the vs of Small Craft. FORT MONROE, Va.., April 25.—It was a novel sight to those ashore here today to see the steam launches of the fiying squad- ron carryiag rapid-fire guns on their bows as they ran to and from the ships. These boats were used all night for picket du nd steamers coming in were y to and show paper: Rodgers ran in the Roads Norfolk for more repai last week she ran on a shos her bottom plates. It was not thought serious, but after being at sea for forts eight hours it was found that one of the bettom plates had sprung and the was leaking. So it was necessary back. The cruiser Mentgomery is ready to go to sea, and probably will start today if she gets coaled. She will take with her the transport Panther, which is also armed, and as the Minneapolis, Columbia, Sioux. and several other armed United States ves. sels are supposedly on the coast, the trans pert wil! have ample protection. li is ex- pected that the cruisers San Francisco and New Orleans will join the squadron within twenty-iour hours unless they move before that time. required to The torpedo beat this morning to On a trip out boat to run —————— WAR REGULATIONS AT NEW YORK.

First Brigade, Numbering Awaiting Orders. BALTIMORE, Md., April tration of the Maryland militia at Pimlico has actually begun, 2,500 troops composing the 1st Brigade will be under canvas and awaiting orders frem the War Department. The first command to reach the camp grounds, and probably the first of the militia of the United States to take the field, was the Ist Separate Com- pany (colored) of Baltimore. These doughty warriors left their homes last night and pitched thzir tents at Pimlico, remaining there all night as a guard for the supplies which had atready reached there. ‘The camping place selected is the inclos- ure inside the mile track, wh2re planking has been laid for floors and where the tents will be pitched. ‘Phe club house will be used as headquarters and the grand stand as a depot fer supplizs, etc. In this matner the troops will be made as comfort- able as possible and their first taste of army life will not be disagreeable. Great crowds have visited the camping grounds today and yesterday, and the ermories of the 4th and Sth Regiments in this city were this morning the sc2ne of extraordinary activity and excitement as the members of these commands made ready for the first step in the marea to’the front. The com.pani2s composing the 1st Regiment began arriving this morning from distant points in the state, and by noon the streets were filled with uniformed men scurrying in every direction. The place and hour of r2ndezvous pre- paratory to the march to the camp grounds was fixed at 2 p.m., at the corner of Eutaw place and North avenue, from which point the line of march was through Druid Hill Park to Pimlico road, to the race track. OUR SHIPS GIVEN 30 DAYS. Spanish Royal Deerce Regarding Treatment of Merchantmen,. MADRID, April 24, 1 p.m.—The royal de- cree says Spain mafntaing her right to have recourse to privatéetring, and an- nounces that for the present only auxiHary cruigers will be fittdd oft. All treaties with the United State are’ annulled. Thir- ty days are given to United States ships to leave Spanish ports; and ‘the rules Spain will observe during the war are outlined in five clauses, coverfhg néutral flags and gvods, contraband of, war, what will be considered a blockade, the right of search and what constitutes,contyaband of war, ending with saying foreign privateers will be regurded @s pirategy” Cantinuing, the de- cree readas We have,observed with the strictést fidélity the principles of: interna- tonal law and have sitown,she most scrup- ulous respect for matality and the right of government. There is @m opinion that the fact trat we have not adhered to the declaration of Paris does not exempt us from the duty of respecting the principles, therein enunciated. ‘The principle Spain anquestionably refused to admit then was the abolition of privateering.

In order to capture the enemy’s ships and confiscate the enemy's merchandise ard contraband of war under whatever form, the auxiliary cruisers will exercise the right of search on the high seas and in the waters under the enemy's jurisdic- ticn, in accordance with international law and the regulations which will be pub- lished. 6.

TROOPS AT CHICKAMAUGA. Heavy Reinforcements Expected. at the Camp This Wek. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Apri! 25.—Heavy arrivals of troops at Chickamauga National Park, both of those ‘originally destined there and those which have been diverted from their gulf destinations, are expected for the next day or so. The number of sol- diers originally ordered to Chickamauga has not arrived by one-half. The Chickamauga battlefield is an ideal point for drilling purposes, according to the generally expressed opinion of army officers here, and it ts quite probable that this point will be the rendezvous for nearly the entire augmented force of the regular army. Captain D. McArthur of Washington, C., who has been appointed assistant quar- termaster under Colonel Lee, bas arrived and established his headquarters at Bi field station. The 10th Cavalry (colored), from Forts Assiniboine and Keogh, Mont., 450 men, in command of Colonel Guy V. Henry, with Captains Hunt, Reed, Weod- ard and Jones, arrived today. the trains were sent out to the park without much delay and unloaded. This is the third regi- ment of colored cavalry to arrive at Chick- amauga. > TO BE REPORTED TOMORROW. Revenue Mensure Still Before the Ways and Means Committee. The war revenue tariff bill will not be reported to the House today. At the meet- ing of the ways and means committee this morning, when the bill framed by the ré- publicans was formally presented for con- sideration, the democrats protested carn- ly against a program tha: would pre- vent them from examining its provisiors thoroughly before it was reported to the House. They also asked f+r an opportunity to offer amendments in committee. After some discussion it was decifed tha: the bill should be gone over today, the repub- un exple ‘ning its provisions, estimated revenue, etc., and that tomor the demo- crate should be allowed to offer’ amend- menis. The bill will be reported to the House tomorrow, but its consideration prob- ably will not begin until Wednesday. The committee’ adjourned at noon to meet again tomorrow. The minority mem- bers will meet this afternoon to decide upon the amendments they will offer in the full committee tomorrow. If a bond issue is to be authorized, which they oppose, they de- sire that no long-time bonds, such as pro- posed in the bill, should be authorized. They call attention to the heavy premiums the government has been obliged to pay in the past for the redemption of long-time bonds, and If the provision is to remain in the bil! they will propose that they be made 2.20's or 5.20's at most, so as to give the government the option of redeeming them in the shortest possible time. The bonds authorized in the bill as framed are 10.20's; that is, redeemable after ten years at the option of the government, and due in twenty years. ——— NEW YORK READY. Gen, Tillinghast Expects Few Defec- tions From the Ranks, A dispatch from Albany, N. Y,, yesterday says: Adjt. Gen. Tillinghast was at his desk at 10 o'clock, and his entire office force were on hand at an earlier hour. The ad- jutant general was in constant conference with the members of his staff and the com- manders of the National Guard organiza- tious in this vicinity. These conferences were devoted to the consideration of all the questions relativ2 to the calling out of the various guard organizations as volunteers. By nightfall the adjutant general is san- guine that all details to that end will have been settled upon, and it is believed that if the official call ecmes 2arly tomorrow many of the troops will be well on their way to the places of mobilization. No intimation was given as to where the state first mobilize. Gen. Tillinghast believes there will be very 1ittle defection on the part of indi- viduals when the various organizations are esked to volunteer. It can be safely stated that New York state's first quota of volun- teers, some 11,00 men, will come entirely from the National Guard. ee WASP READY FOR DUTY. Preparations Nearing Completion on Other Naval Vessels. NEW YORK, April 25.—The steam yacht Wasp, in commard of Lieut. Aaron Ward, is ready for duty, and will sail from the navy yard here today. The collier Sterling, commanded by Capt. Impey, will not be ready for a couple of days yet. The cruiser Sen Francisco is moored alongside the coal dock. Painters are busy at work on the cruiser, and by tonight her white sides and superstructure will be cov- ered with war paint. Men are busily work- ing on the New Orleans,-and both these vessels will be ready to sail by the end of this week. Several marines, in charge of Licut. T. P. Kane, left the yard on a navy tug for the American line dock, where they will go aboard the Harvard (formerly the New York).
