The War With Spain. The plan of campaign was materially changed during the! week by reason of un- expected developments in West Indian wa- ters. Admiral Seyapson, tho had been dis- patched from Key West with the heavier portion of the blockading squadron, urder oréers to find and destroy the Spanish Cape Verde fleets supposed to be cruising to- ward Cuba, failed to find evidences that that fleet had reached this vicinity and con- sequently executed his aiternative order of attacking San Juan, the capital of Porto Rico. This he did Thursday, and after an engagement of about three hours he suc- ceeded in reducing the fortifications with the loss of two men killed-and eight wound- ed. The Spanish losses seemed to be very heavy. It was reported from London, but not confirmed, that the city had capitu- lated. Meanwhile word was received that the Cape Verde fleet had appeared at Mar- tinique, four hundred miles from Porto Rico, and Admiral Sampson was ardered to proceed at once to engage the vessels, nd, if possible, destroy them. At the same time the flying squadron at Hampton Roads, under Commodore Schley, was or- dered to sea. It sailed Friday afternoon, Presumably to co-operate with Admiral Sampson's fleet as a reserve force to en- gage the Spanish squadron in case the lat- ter succeeded in evading Sampson. In con- sequence of the unexpected appearance of the Spanish fleet, which early in the week had been officially reported from Madrid as being located at Cadiz, the plans for the land invasion of Cuba, which had been actively pressed on the theory that the Spanish ships were in Spanish waters, were altered and the invasiqn was postponed on the ground that it would be unwise to send troops into Cuba as long as there was a Possibility that Spain might destroy or weaken the American naval forces and so jeopardize the success of a land campaign at this time. Consequently, troops that had been ordered to Tampa for transportation were deflected to Chickamauga. The project of reinforcing Dewey at Manila, however, was actively pressed, and orders were sent to the cruiser Charleston at Mare Island to put to sea as soon as possible in advance of the transports, in order to aug- ment Dewey's supply of ammunition and other stores. Troops were rapidly concen- trated at San Francisco for dispatch to the Philippines. Maj. Gen. Wesley Merritt was designated as military governor of the Philippine Islands, and orders were issued for his prompt departure in conjunction with the army of occupation of about 15,000 men. President McKinley sent to Congress a message narrating the facts of the battle of Manila and recommending that Commo- dore Dewey be personally thanked in the name of the nation. Immediately and with- out debate both houses passed a joint reso- lution of thanks, and, in accordince with this action, the President nominated Com- modore Dewey to be a rear admiral, the Senate confirming the nomination immedi- ately without reference to a committee. It was reported that the cruiser Concord had destroyed another of the Spanish gun- boats in Philippine waters.. The first American lives lost in the war were sacri- ficed in an engagement at Cardenas, a short distance east of Matanzas, between the United States gunboat Wilmington, the torpedo boat Winslow and the auxiliary tug Hudson and the Spanish land batteries and four gunboats in the harbor. In the fight the Winslow was badly disabled and a shell bursting on her deck killed Ensign Worth Bagley and four of the crew and wounded Lieut. Bernadou, the commander. The Hudson gallantly ‘succeeded, after many dangerous attempts, in towing the Winslow out of danger. The land batteries were silenced and considerable damage was done to the town by fire. One of the Span- ish gunboats was shattered. The reports were received from Havana by way of Madrid thdt an engagement had taken place at Cienfuegos, In which the Ameri- cans were repulsed with heavy losses. This was not immediately confirmed, although Saturday morning dispatches were received indicating that an engagement had oc- curred ‘at that point, in Which one Ameri- can life was lost, While. the Spanish bat- teries were demolished. The gunb Vicksburg and the torpedo boat M were decoyed into Havi harbor by a ruse on the part of the Spanish gunhc and were fired upon by the Santa Cla: utteries. They replied vigorously and a sharp engagement ensued, in which no amage was done to the American ships. The steamer Gussie made an ineffectual at- tempt to land supplies and ammunition for the insurgent forces, being prevented by Spanish land forces...The President sent to the Senate a Tafge number of nomina- tions in connection with the organization of the volunteer army, including the names of the sons of well-known political leaders. An order was issued announcing the points of concentration for the volunteer arm: including one in the vicinity of Washin ton, at Falls Church; Va., where prepar: tions were made for receiving from 25,000 to 30,000 troops, including the District quota. Rumors of foreign intervention in behalf of Spain were revived and denied, as were likewise intimations that the for- eign powers, except Great Britain, would protest to the United States against the military occupation of the Philippine Isl- ands. Disquieting rumors reached Wash- ington that the French mail steamer La- fayette, which was permitted to pass the blockade after its capture, had landed am- munition for the Spaniards, and among the passengers who were landed were soldiers and military experts. Precautions. were taken to prevent the landing of stores, and representations of a semi-official character were received that the Lafayette had not violated the terms of the condition under which she was permitted to proceed to Ha- vana. The battle ship Oregon arrived at Bahia, leaving at once, and soon returning to repair certain damages to her engines. Domestic. Theodore Roosevelt severed his connec- tion with the Navy Department as assist- ant secr2tary to become lieutenant colone! of the regiment of “rough riders; Mr. Charles N. Alien of Massachusetts was ap- pointed to succeed him. The trial of Civil Engineer Menocal on charges connected with the failure of the New York dry dock was begun at the Brooklyn navy yar Senate passed the post office approp bill, the constitutional amendment chang- ing inauguration day to May 4 and the bill relating to the arbitration of disputes be- tween railroads and their employss. A joint resolution for the annexation of Hawaii was reported favorably to the House from the committee on forciga affairs by an al- most unanimous yote. The Dill for raising revenue to conduct the war was reported to the Senate from the finance committee after radical amendments had been adopt- ed; the committee struck out the bond issu> proposition and added several other feat- ures conformatory in a general way to the principles erunciated by the democratic na- tional platform adopt2d at Chicago in 18%6. The Supreme Court rendered a decision up- holding the niajor part of the South Caro- lina dispersary law. Goy. Black ordered the disbandment of the 13th Regiment be- cause it neglected to obey his orders rela- tive to the state encampment. Fire in Chicago destroyed $1,000,000 worth of prop- erty and a grain elevator. Foreign. Spain experienced a cabinet crisis, four of the ministers tendering their resigna- tions; tentative selections were made on a basis of a more peacefulspolicy. Don Car- los attacked the queen’regent and the Spanish cabinet on, grotinds of incompe- tency. The bread riots, continued with considerably abated. vigor.in various parts of Spain. It waa reported that a tor- pedo boat destroyer ‘was blown up by an accidental explosion near Gibraltar. Senor Mella, a Carlist depyty, was expgjied from the Spanish cortes for using a scriptural quotation supposed to reflect on the crown. A serious condition of aftairs developed in Italy, bread riots apprcaching the pro- portions of a revolution occurring in many cities, notably Milan. itary force .was employed to subdue, the sioters, and many were killed; a condition of extjeme gravity prevailed at the end of the week; it was feared that the riot# were the result of a concerted reactionary ,movement. Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of state for the colonies, in a speech at Birmingham, openly advocated an Ango-American alli- ance for offensive and defensive purposes. Russia and Japan signed a protocol agree- ing to recognize the independence of Corea. Russia required all foreigners visiting Port Arthur and Ta-Lien-Wan to have their Passports vised by the Russian consul, thus arousing protests from China. Japan began its withdrawal of troops from Wei- Hai-Wel. The Japanese consulate at Sha- hu was burned by rioters. The two men who attempted to. assassinate King George of Greece February 26 were executed at Athens. Prince Ahmed Safeddin, cousin of the Khedive of Egypt, shot and seriously wounded his uncle, Prince Ahmed Fuad, in a club at Cairo. The British govern- ment accepted the resignation of the Earl of leen as or general of Cana- da, The Duke of St. Albans died, in thé District. ‘The House passed the bills for the repeal ts INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS.
