The first actual clash took place between three ships of Admiral Sampson's fleet and the shore batteries at Matanzas. The flagship New York, the monitor Puri- tan and the cruiser Cincinnati were .fired on by the batteries and succeeded in silenc- ing them in about a quarter of an hour. No casualties occurred on any of the war- ships, but it was reported that several men in the forts were killed. Commodore Dewey's fleet sailed from Hong Kong for Manila Wednesday afternoon. It was re- ported that a Spanish fleet had sailed from Manila to meet him. Portugal proclaimed her neutrality. The Spanish warships at the Cape Verde Islands were divided into two fleets, one of which went southward and the other sailed ostensibly for Cuba <r the American north Atlantic coast: The latter after being out a.few hours returned to St. Vincent and reported that a collision had taken place between ships of the fleet, necessitating a return to port for repaii Spanish warsnips were-variously reported to have been seen cruising in the British Channel, off the coast of Newfoundland and in the Straits of Gibraltar. Subsequent- ly denials came along regarding all these rumors. Admiral Sampson maintained a strict blockade of the northern coast of Cuba during the week und captured a pumber of prizes, some of ‘which were very valuable. The most active preparations for war were conducted. , The President issued a call for 125,000 volunteers, to be appor- tioned among the several States according to population. In response to this the Na- tional Guard was called out in nearly all the states and promptly , responded. The first move toward an inyasion of Cuba was begun by an order moving the troops from Chickamauga Park to Florida points, ready for transportation to Cuba. Eight transports were engaged to carry the troops across to Cuba for a landing under the guns of the fleet. Lieut. Rowan of the 19th United States Infantry landed in Cuba and visited the camp of the insurgents for the purpose of arranging a junction be- tween their forces and those to be landed from the United States. It was reported from Havana that a Spanish force was be- ing organized there for a counter invasion against the United States, the troops to land in Florida. With the exception of Germany, nearly all the European powers recognized that a siate of war existed be- tween the United States and Spain and proclaimed their neutrality Martial law was proclaimed in Porto Rico. The Amer- icans on the island were reported to be without protection and in danger. The au- thorities prohibit the departure of refugees. A Spanish fleet was reported to be on the way from Europe to bombard American coast citles. Secretary Gage, after a con- ference in New York with leading finan- ciers, stated that $200,000,000 of the pro- posed bond issue could easiiy be disposed of at once. The House passed the war rev- enue bill by a party vote. Foreign. Mr. Chamberlain stated in the house of commons that England and America were negotiating to arbitrate the Alaskan bound- ary dispute. The English cabinet’s Chinese policy was attacked by Sir William Vernon Harcourt, liberal leader in the house of commons, and was defended by Mr. Bal- four. The plague was reported to haye broken out in Calcutta. Baron Von Bu- low, German minister of foreign affairs, in @ speech to % reichSiaz Committee, said he hoped the period of squabbling over China had been ended by the powers, Mil- lions of gold were reported piled up at Dawscn, Yukon territory, awaiting the be- ginning of navigation on’ the Yukon river. One hundred mules in a pack train and their Mexican attendants were reported to have been killed or wounded by the ex- plosion of powder they were conveying to a Mexican mine. The Mexican commission to determine the boundary at some dis- puted points on the Texas line completed its work. War between Costa Rica and Ni- caragua was reported to be inevitable. A big fire in Glasgow, Scottand, Monday night did $750,000 damage. The United States minister at Athens received many applica- tions from Grecks to enlist in the American army. In the British house of commons Mr. Balfour, replying to a question, said no negotiations were proceeding on the subject of an arbitratfon treaty between Great Britain and the United States. Mr. Gladstone was reported to be gradually sinking. In the District. “District day” in the House Monday re- sulted In the passage of the House bills to vest in the District Commissioners the control of street parking and to amend the act for the preservation of the public peace and the protection of property; also several private bills. The Senate passed the House bill to pupish the carrying or sale of deadly weapgns ind the Senate bill for the relief of holders of certain Dis- trict tax sale certificates, An effort was made to secure the coppidegation and pass age of in street raifway measures Senator Pettigrew, di n opportunity to secure extended ation for an ame i he purchase of street cq, by the muni- cipality < #n arrangement was made for the exc ve consideration of such business on ‘Phursday of the next week. The District Commissioners, in an effort to regulate the public vehicle service, discovered a hitherto fergotten regulation enacted by the legistative assembly em- powering them to prohibit the use of broken-down or unclean cabs, hacks, &c., and, in accorcance, arranged for the en- forcement of that’ rije hereafter. The Commissioners were advised by the attor- ney for the District that there was no #u- thority in law for the use as a morgue cf the building on D street between 12th and 13th streets northwest, at present occupied by the chemica! engine. The druggists and physictans of the city began a campaign against the high rates and extortionate regulations of the telephone company; the druggists agreed with practical unanimity to discontinue the telephone service and to prevent the use of the roofs of the build- ings cecupied by them for the stringing of telephone wires; the physicians under- took to secure an agreement for similar action among members of their profession; the House subcommittee investigating the local telephone subject resumed examina- tion of the telephone company’s affairs. In accordance with an order issued by the Secretary of War, the District National Guard gss2mbled on Monday for the pur- pose of encamping at Soldiers’ H-me and guarding certain portions of thé ajaeduct: just after the guard had started the or- der was revoked and the men returned to their armory; the revocation was explained as being due to a reconsideration of the regiment of minimum strength rather chan a battalion, as at first proposed. Local bakers agitated the question of raising the price of bread to correspond to the lately increased price in wheat. The Ma- sonic fair closed after two weeks and half of exceptional success; it was estimat- ed that about $50,000 has been cleared for the Masonic temple fund. * —_++e___ FAIR.
