Copyrighted. 1898, by James Gordon Bennett. ST. THOMAS, West Indies, April 24.— From the Herald’s correspondent in San Juan, Porto Rico, I learn that four months’ provisions for 20,000 troops at Ponce, are daily expected. Arrange- ments for the reception of the Spanish torpedo flotilla at San Juan, Porto Rico, continue. It is almost certain that the entire fleet will have to coal and be provisioned, and just at this time this will be a severe drain on the resources of the island. The Bishop of Antigua and a party of refugees from Porto Rico arrived here on schooners to-day. b Death of a Philanthropist. NEW YQRK, April 24.—Dr. Cornelius N. Hoagland, a well-known philanthropist, dled to-night at his home in Brooklyn, aged 76 years. i ON BOARD THE FLAGSHIP NEW YORK, OFF HAVANA, April 23— (Filed at Key West, idnight, April 23).—The Puritan, M hville, Marble- head and Ericsson arrived from Key West this merning. The Ericsson al- most immediately returned to Ke West with dispatches. At 10 o'clock | monitor Puritan, the | ati, the c Machias, Nashville, C: port and the torpedo boats Root and Winslow left the squadron to blockade atanzas, Mariel and Cardenas. They formed separate divisions, and after they had passed out of sight the re- mainer of the fleet took up a regular formation, having drifted some fifteen miles from Morro Castje. The general advance was made at half speed. Cap- tain Evans, not quite certain of the po- | sition he was entitled to take with the | Iowa, caught u~» abreast of the flagship | and shouted through the megaphone: “How near may I go?” tear Admiral Sampson, who was standing on the after bridge, replied: “As mear as you can without damage | from the fire of the batteries.” “All right,” Captain Evans shouted back, in tones that expressed the keen- est disappointment. The JIowa then went ahead. About a half hour after the squad- ron was well under way, the cruiser Cincinnati was seen on the eastern horizon, smoke pouring from her fun- nels. She had been headed for Matan- zas, and evidently had turned back to chase some vessel. The object of her pursuit was soon made out, standing well in toward the coast. The flagship, the cruiser Marblehead and the gun- boat Wilmington immediately turned out of the course to head the warship off. The remainder of the squadron proceeded to the westward. Smoke | poured from our ships. The flagship was making eighteen knots, the whole vessel throbbing with the vibrations of her twin screws. The little Wilming- ton steamed up in splendid style, and the fast cruiser Marblehead kept nearly abreast. The formidable trio bore down upon the warship. Then a shout went up “She is a Spaniard.” For the next ten minutes the excite- ment was intense. The distance which separated the vessels rendered it im- possible to make out the warship's identity. She was thought to be the Vizcaya or the Oquendo, heading hard for Havana. The men at the guns shouted with glee. The stokers off duty also cheered vociferously and begged to be allowed to go on deck to help shoot at the first armed enemy met. The officers crowded on the quarter | deck as elated as the men, though un- | der better control. The bugler blew “‘general quarters,” and all hands flew to their posts. Down came the shrouds with a rattle. Life lines vanished from the deck. Rear-Admiral Sampson, standing on the bridge, said deliberate- ly to Captain Chadwick: “Yes, the Oquendo or the Vizcaya,” and then added: “I should like to bag them both.” Then it was seen that the chase was flying an Italian flag. But this was no proof that behind her still invisible guns Spaniards were not concealed, ready to shoot under advantage of | subterfuge. All the guns on the New York's port side and in the forward and after turrets were trained on the stran- ger. A few minutes later, when about 1500 yards separated the New York from her target, the American flag was run up by the warship and then it was known she was not a Spaniard. A puff of smoke issued from her sides and the boom of a gun sounded across the waters. It was only a salute, but at first many on board thought Rear-Ad- miral Sampson had been deceived. But she fired one of her guns as a salute, which was returned by the flagship, which also flew an Italian flag. The stranger was then made out to be the Giovanni Bausan, a powerful cruiser. Without further formalities she pursued her course and entered Ha- vana harbor. Thus an exciting incident ended in disappointment, but it served to show how anxious all hands are for a real fight, and how splendid the discipline is when a conflict seems imminent. DAVIS DECLINES THE PORTFOLIO OF STATE. WASHINGTON, April 24 —While there is every reason to believe that Secretary Sherman contemplates re- tirement from the Cabinet at no very distant date the indications now are that the change will not take place im- mediately. He declined to discuss the queston tc-day, intimating there was more in the newspapers concerning his intentions than was justifie by the facts. There is no doubt, however, that the President.considers the Secretary's re- tirement among the probabilities. He discussed the contingency with some of his callers to-day, and it is under- stood that Senator Davis was asked Whether, in case there should be a va- cancy in the Secretaryship of State, he would favorably consider an invitation to fill it, and the Senator replied in the negative. It is also understood that the Minnesota Senator's reason for taking this position is the fact that he prefers his position in the Senate, and, considering himself reasonably sure of | Eighth Infantry | staff of Major-General Brooke is now v LARS 1 CHICKAMATCA Crowds of Visitors View the Camp of the Soldiers.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., April 24— All roads led to Chickamauga to-day. The national park where were en- camped nearly 8000 of the United States regular troops was the loadstone which drew thousands of peopie from | all the surrounding country .and for | the day nearly depopulated Chat- | tangoga. Even before sunrise the stream of humanity had started toward | the park, and by afternoon fully 50,000 | people were scattered through the vast | grounds watching the incoming soldiers | unload and march to their signed camping places, and noting with interest the different phases of a sol- | dier’s life on the fleld. Kodak fiends | by the score were there and took snap shots at every opportunity. The long Government road leading from Chattanooga out through Ross- ville anl Ross Gap to the park was fairly choked with vehicles all da: - | Excursion trains brought in thousands from Nashville, Memphis, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Huntsville, Ala.,, and all the intermediate towns and villages. It be- ing Sunday all drills were suspended, and the soldiers, who were fairly ‘well settled in fheir camping places, had little to do but lounge around. Around the raiiroad vards it was a busy scene. The arrivals of troops during the day were heavy, but very few delays age- curred on this account. The Eighth Infantry from Fort Rus- sell, Wyoming, 500 men, under Colonel Van Horn, which were among last night's arrivals, were switched out to the park about noon. They were fol- lowed by seven companies of the Eighth Infantry, which are from Fort Logan, Colorado. This regiment con- sisted of about 550 men, and was com- manded by Colonel Benham. With the it was assigned a camping place in a field to the east of “Bloody Pond.” Late in the afternoon an escort of colored cavalry came in. They were followed by eight companies of the Seventh Infantry, which arrived from Fort Douglass, near Salt Lake City, with 154 men and officers, under com- mand of Colonel J. F. Kent. Many troops are expected in to-morrow morn- ing, including the First Infantry from the Presidio and Benicia barracks, Cali- fornia, the Second Infantry from the Montana posts and Batteries C and F, Third Artillery, from the Presidio. By to-morrow it is expected that close to 10,000 solidiers will b located at the park. Nearly the entire colored popula- tion of Chattanooga and the country around ~was apparently gathered around the camping places of the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry and the Twenty- fifth Infantry. The latter was the special object of homage. The Twenty-fifth had religious serv- ices during the afternoon in the open air. The ch: lain, Rev. Theopilus Steward, preached a short sermon to the assemb.ed sable-colored warriors, the regimental band furzishing the music. A striking incident occurred at the close of the services. The band struck up “My Country, 'Tis of Thee.” and instantly every soldier was on his feet with his hand raised in salute, whZe from hundreds of dusky throats the grand words of the American natiowil song poured out. The throngs of people lingering near .90k up the refrain. The as- | complete, and by to-morrow all de- partments will be located at the park. SHAFTER TO COMMAND FIRST INVADING FORCE. ‘Will Be Sent to Capture a Port and Communicate With the Insur- gents. NEW YORK, April 24.—A Washing- ton special to the ITer: 'd says: Brig- adier-General William R. Shafter, com- manding the U 'ted States troops concentrated at New Orleans, has been summoned t, Washington by orders of Secretary Alger and is expected to ar- rive in this city to-morrow or Tussday. It is understood his vyisit to Wash- ington is for the purpose of consulting with the President, Secretary Alger and Major-General Miles concerning the administration’s plans for the occupa- tion of Cuba. I learn that the administration has under consideration a plan for the im- mediate seizure by the gulf fleet of a Cuban port from which communica- tion may be had with the insurgents. To garrison and *old this port and the adjacent country it will be necessary to send t) Cuba an army of about 15,000 or 18,000 men. This force would consist, of two divisions, each to be com- manded by a major-general. It is stated that if this plan is adopted one of the major-generalships of volunteers will be given to General Shafter and the other to _rigadier-General Elwell 8. Otis, former / commanding the de- partment of Colorado, and that these officers will direct the first military op- erations in _uba. General Shafter would command the expedition. Constant communication would be kept up between the gulf ports and the captured Cuban port, and" arms, munitions and supplies would be furnished to the insurgents in large quantities. The reconcentrados within reach are to be fed by the commissary department of the army.

Cash Consideration Depends Upon Whether the Foe Is of Equal or Superior Strength. At Any Rate the Officers and Crews in the Navy Will Reap Rich Rewards. Special Dispatch to The Call. Call Office, Riggs House, Washington, April 24. Secretary Long has received from Rear-Admiral Sampson dispatches telling of the capture of several of the Spanish merchantmen, which are to be held as prizes and to be disposed of ac- cording to law if the protests made against such seizures are held to be without ground. Judge Advocate Gen- eral Lemley, the law officer of the Navy Department, has been looking up the statutes on the subject, and is prepared to assist the Secretary in any way necessary. The law provides that the condemnation proceedings in the matter of prize vessels shallbe conduct- ed under the su ion of the Dis- trict Courts. It is made the duty of the commanding officer of the vessel making a capture to secure the docu- ments of the ship and cargo, and send them, together with certain witnesses from the captured vessel, to the Dis- trict Court in which the proceedings for the distribution of the prize money are to be had. The attorney for the United States is to promptly flle a libel against the prize property and take other proceedings necessary. The evidence is to be taken by prize commissioners, not exceeding three in number, one of whom is to be a naval officer, and at least one of the others a member of the bar of not less than three years’ standing and acquainted with the taking of depositions. If the sale of,the prize is ordered the gross proceeds are to be deposited with the Assistant Treasurer of the United States at the place nearest to the sale, subject to the orders of the court. The court is to make a decree of distribu tion, determining what vessels are to share in the prize, and whether the prize was of superior, equal or inferior force to the vessel or vessels making the capture. The net proceeds of all property condemned as prize shall when the prize was of superior or equal force to the vessel or vesselsmakingthe capture, be decreed to the captors. This provision was evidently put in the law with a view to encouraging ves- sels’ captains to exert their greates: effort when meeting a foe of superior o equal strength, as the same section of the law provides that when the prize vessel was of inferior force to the cap- tors one-half of the net proceeds is to be decreed to the United States ana the other half to the captors. In cases where the amount in controversy ex- ceeds $2000 an appeal may be taken to the Supreme Court. PHILIPPINE INSURGENTS ARE ACTIVE TACOMA, Wash.,, April 24—Hong- kong advices received to-day, per steamer Braemer to Astoria, state that the present Philippine Island rebellion is rapidly spreading to all important provinces. A month ago the insurgent leaders and their sympathizers in Hongkong came to the conclusion that the United States would soon be at war with Spain. They have accordingly been preparing to strike Spanish rule in the Philippines to the quick when the mast favorable time shofld arrive. The situation at Manila is deseribed as almost one of consternation. Spanish merchants, half castes and rich na- tives are selling out and leaving Ma- nila and other seaports. Some of the latter sympathize with the insurgents and will ald them from Hongkong and Amoy. The establishment of a Philippine Junta at Hongkong is probable, such a plan being under consideration. It practically exists now under the man- agement of General Aguinaldo and other leaders, who were hired to leave the islands in January. The excessive taxation offers one excuse for the pres- ent outbreak. All the natives are re- fusing to pay the incréased taxes levied in order to pay off the immense debt incurred in crushing the last rebellion, ending three months ago. Zambales, Tarlac and Pangasinan and adjoining provinces are in open revolt, and emis- saries have been sent into the southern provinces. Last month the insurgents made a renewed attack upon the Spanish camps at Apalit and Subig, defeating the Spanish troops and capturing a large quantity of arms, ammunition and supplies. In the north of Luzon some insurgents were captured and or- dered executed.. The rebels gathered quickly and rescued their comrades. The victorious insurgents then proceed- ed to Bolinao, where they cut the Spanish cable and destroyed the lana lines connecting the cable station with Manila. This has greatly interferea with Manila’s business and had the important result of demonstrating thac the insurgents were again able to go about and do as they pleased. The in- surgent leaders greatly hope that the United States will aid them to secure independence as one means of punish- ing Spain. A month ago there were five Spanish cruisers, five small gun- boats and three troop ships at Manila, Take Laxative B i .
