2 THE SAN FRAN CISCO CALL, SUNDAY, APRIL 24, 1898. HOW SPANIARDS MADE A VERY BAD MISTAKE Although They Intercepted and Held Back the American Ulti- matum, They Blundered. Copyrighted, 159, by James.Gordon Bennett. MADRID, April 23.—Last week-some very sharp and quick work was done between the Spanish foreign officers and the American Minister. The American ultimatum, sent to General Woodford as an open telegram and not in cipher, reached Madrid on Wednesday night at 11 o'clock. It was held at the foreign office until nearly 3 o'clock Thursday morning. In the meantime the Spanish Government pre- pared the note breaking off diplomatic relations and refusing to re- ceive further communications from the American Government. This nish note was handed to General Woodford on Thursday morning o'clock. He spent most of the preceding night at the British arranging for the transfer of American interests. As soon as he received the Spanish note he observed that Spain had made the serious stake of a declaration that war, evident or open, al- xisted between the two nations because of the passage of the joint resolution of Congress and its approval by the President. Spain declared hostilitie General , Woodford promptly accepted nish decision. He did not present the ultimatum, but instead sssed to the Spanish Government a note accepting the situation oRed tion and turned its care over to the British Em- He immediately telegraphed his Government at Washington that war existed by d ration of Spain, and thus the American ron v enabled to sail from Key West Friday to blockade vana many hours befare it could have been effected had Spain re- the ultimatum, and secured the delay fixed in its time limit.

The fortifications of the Bale- aric Islands have been quietly but rapidly strengthened. Guns and stores and drafts of troops to reinforce the garrison have been dispatched from here and Barcelona during the last few days. * * * * # * * * #* # * * * # * * * #* * * * * * * * % 3k sk ok sk ok sk ok ok sk ok ok %k ok ok ok ook sk ok ok ¥ ok ok ok ok LA X A S R RS SRR RS R R RS “‘These | thirsty lot of patriots and do not | DINGLEY"S WAR REVENUE BILL Will Raise About One Hundred Million Dollars. Provision Made for a Popular Loan by the Issuance of Bonds. Democrats May Oppose the Measure Because They Were Not Consulted. Special Dispatch to The Call. Call Office, Riggs House, ‘Washington, April 23. Chairman Dingley of the Ways and Means Committee this afternoon intro- duced in the House the war revenue measure which the Republican bers of the Ways and Means Commit- tee have prepared. It is the intention of Chairn¢in Dingley to press the bill on Monday, and he hopes to have it through the House before adjourning on Tuesday. It is probable that this programme will meet with opposition from the Democrats, who have not been con- not have an opportunity to see it until it is presented to the full committee on Monday morning at 10 o’clock. They are inclined to think that they have been most unfairly treated. As it is distinctly a war measure, in which they are expected to acquiesce without op- position, they believe they should have been consulted in its preparation. The Democrats have already decided to of- fer an income tax amendment. Chairman Dingley estimates that the measure, as framed, will raise between $90,000,000 and $100,000,000. Tea and coffee, railroad tickets and petroleum, all of which were considered at differ- ent times as subjects for taxation, are not touched in the bill. The revenue tQ .be derived is distributed as follows: Fermented liquors, $35,000,000; tobacco, $15,000,000; cigars, $5,000,000; tobacco li- censes, $5,000,000; stamp tax on docu- ments, telegrams, etc., $30,000,000; ton- nage tax, $2,500,000.

CHICAGO, April 23.—Father Maurice J. Dorney, pastor of St. Gab- riel's Roman Catholic Church, Chicago, to-day secured a commission from the United States Government as chaplain, and will leave Mon- day to join the fighting men with Captain Robley D. Evans on the battleship Towa in front of Havana. Father Dorney is widely known throughout this country and Ireland. He is a particular friend of Mijchael Davitt, the well-known Irish member of Parliament. Father Dorney was the temporary chairman of the Philadelphia convention at which the Irish National League of America was organized, and it was he who carried over to London and delivered to Mr. Labouchere and Sir Charles Russell, now Lord Chief Justice of England, the original letters written by Piggott, who proved the latter to have forged the letters which he introduced in testimony at the Parnell trial. The let- ters carried by Father Dorney completely overthrew the London Times’ case against Parnell, and the day after their introduction Piggott ran away to Spain, where a day or two later he committed suicide. The letter thus delivered so timely had been for years in the possession of Hon. Patrick Egan, who was the treasurer of the Land League in Ireland, and who subsequently became a citizen @f the United States and served as our Minister to Chile under the administration of Presi- dent Harrison. Mr. Egan discovered that the letters which he had would completely overthrow the London Times' case and vindicate Parnell. He hurried to Chicago and requested Alexander Sullivan, formerly president of the Irish National League, to select some one 1 to bear the ecious document in safety to London. Mr. Sullivan’s selection was Father Dorney. The result shéwed how well he esti- mated the fidelity of the loyal priest who is now about to enter his country’s service. Captain Evans was in command at Valparaiso dur- ing the exciting times when Minister Egan showed his mettle, and it is thought one of the results of the friendship then formed is Father Dorney’s assignment at this time to Captain Evans’ battleship, the Towa.

Special Dispatch to The Call. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., April 23— The organization into brigades of all the cavalry regiments of the United States army centered at Chickamauga Park is now complete. The following general order was issued to-day by Major General Brooke: Camp George H. Thomas, Chickamauga Park, Ga., April 23, 1898. General field orders No. 4. The cavalry of this command is orgar- ized as follows: Cavalry division—Colonel A. K. Arunold, First Cavalry, commanding. First Brigade—First Cavalry, Cayalry, Tenth Cavalry. Second Brigade—Third Cavalry, Sixth Cavalry, Ninth Cavalry. The {ight artillery and infantry will be brigaded in a later order. By come mand of ENERAL BROOKE. Three thousand regular troops are now encamped at Chickamauga, the number to-day having been almost doubled. The soldiers arrived so fast that it was difficult to handle them promptly, hardly an hour of the day passing without two or more long train loads coming in. The work of unload- ing the trains at the park was rendered doubly difficult by rain, which fell at intervals all day. On this account all drills were suspended until Monday. After that time, however, army life will begin in earnest. It is expected that by that time nearly all the regu- lar troops to be located at Chicka- mauga will have arrived. The Seventh Infantry from Fort Logan, Colo., which was reported as having arrived, will not be in until to-morrow morning. Cast g TN Miners Have Perished.

Volunteers, Marines and Reg- ulars Seize Arms and Hasten to Their Stations. Those at the Cuban Capital Now Fully Realize That the Blockads Has Begyn. Copyright, 1898, by George Grantham Bain. HAVANA, April 23.—Three cannon shots re-echoed through the city at 6:30 last evening. It was the alarm signal previously agreed upon to notify people of the approach of the Ameri- can squadron. Red flags were hoisted at Morro Castle and at the fortress of Cabana. Trumpets were heard sum- moning the troops. Volunteers, ma- rines and regulars seized their arms and hastened to occupy their respective stations. Instead of showing signs of alarm, the people seemed wild with enthusi- asm. Civilians who had not been called en to join the defending forces armed themselves and hastened to join the troops. Shopkeepers spontaneously closed their doors, while their clerks and waiters from the cafes ran to help defend the city and the honor of the nation. The American squadron was dis- cerned almost within range of the har- bor batteries. Seven ships of war were all that could be seen from shore. Or- ders were given to extinguish the lights of Morro Castle. Captain-General Blanco inspected the batteries and is- sued instructions for the night, and then returned to the palace to dine. | His dinner was interrupted by calls from generals of the army, leaders in the colonial cabinet, irrespective of party, and others of the leading citi- zens of Havana. Throughout the city order generally prevailed. A new battalion of volun- teers was quickly formed, being made up entirely of natives of Barcelona. Patriotic demonstrations of various kinds were seen on all sides. A throng of men, women and children, number- ing perhaps 80,000 assembled on the wharves, shouting defiance to the Am- | ericans. “Their cannon may shoot,” was the ery, “but here Spaniards stand an im- passable wall.” Marquis Arguelles called at the Pal- ace to-day and offered $2,000,000 to the Captain General to use as he saw fit. Many society women called at the Pal- ace and tendered their services to nurse the sick and wounded. All of them wore on their arms badges of national colors. General Blanco, who was filled with emotion at their patriotic offers, thanked them, and said he was di posed to accept their services. An or- der has been issued forbidding the sailing of vessels along the coast and to neighboring islands. PRESIDI?) REGULARS ARRIVE AT YUMA. General Shafter and His Staff Are Not Far Behind the In- fantry Train. LOS ANGELES, April 23.—General Shafter, with his aide de camp, Lieu- tenant Noble, arrived in this city this morning on the regular passenger over the Southern Pacific Railway, and left for New Orleans at 8:15 on the regular east-bound train. At 10 o’clock the re- mainder of the staff arrived, and at| 10:30 departed on the Sunset limited. The three train loads of troops which passed through early this morning ar- rived at Yuma at 11 o’clock. 5 Sy SPANISH BATTLE-SHIP BURNED IN EFFIGY. Lads of San Rafael Illustrate Their Wish Respecting the Enemy’s Navy. SAN RAFAEL, April 23.—San Rafael was thrown into excitement to-night by a multitude of lights flashing along the streets and the shrill whoops and vells of a large crowd of boys. The youngsters carried an imitation of a battleship, draped in the Spanish col- ors. This was hooted and yelled at until the Spanish navy was burned in effigy on Fourth and B streets. ADVERTISEMENTS.
