Captain Ormaccea is a philosopher. [ He speaks English fairly well. His first surprise after entering this port was when his captors moored him directly alongside the steamship Pedro, a sister ship of the same line, and commanded by Captain Ormaccea’s best friend. The Pedro was the second prize of the war. | She was captured after a long chase by the flagship New York. Now the two | captains are companions in misfortune and captivity. Captain Ormaccea smiled grimly this afternoon when I asked him if he had deliberately tried to run the blockade. He said he had no knowledge that war had been de- clared, having sailed from Liverpool April 12 and afterward touched at Co- runna. When he first saw the signal lights of the United States monitor he believed her to be a Spanish warship, but the vicious shot that promptly went across his bow soon apprised him of his error. The captain says he rang to stop im- mediately after the first shot, and thinks he was used a little harshly afterward. He is grateful to be alive, however, and not disposed to find fault. He and Lieutenant Qualtrough, the prize mas- ter, shook hands in a most manly fashion this afterncon after drinking a | glass of wine together in the cabin of the captured ship. Lieutenant Qual- trough and Ensign Willets then turned over their charge to Prize Commander | Julius Otto, United States District At- torney Stripling and United States Dep- uty Marshal Atchinson. The naval offi- cers then withdrew, leaving the marine guard. Captain Ormaccea told the Fed- eral officers he had little sympathy. with the present war, and cared little what disposition was made of him except | that he hoped he would not be put| ashore in Cuba RECIMENTS OF IMONES i e 1Tr‘oops for Cuba Who| Have Had the Yellow | Fever. | These Will | Not Be .in Fear of Spain’s Strongest !

The Secretary of War has been most fav- orably impressed with the idea, and | accepting the regiments of immunes | raised in Louisia. . by the son of Gen- | eral Hood, the famous Confederate | commander. | The Senate Committee on Military Affairs agreed upon a favorable report | on the bill re: oving the limitations on the supplies the quartermaster’s de- | partment of the army may purchase, | and also upon the bill permitting the enlistment of a brigade of engineers. Both bills were amended, the limitation bill so as to authorize the Secretary of W.r to make n»urchase of supplies abroad. The engineer bill was amend- ed so as to permit the enlistment of 10,000 yellow fever immunes in the army. The bill was also amended so as to extend the removal of limitations of purchases to all bureausof the War De- partment and to all branches of the army, instead of confining them to the quartermaster’s department. The provision of the engineer bill for the enlistment of yellow fever immunes was inserted practically in response to the President’s request, which was made known by Secretary Alger. The President and the Secretary both think these troops will be especially useful in a campaign in Cuba. They think there will be comparatively little difficulty in securing the number required. The general phraseology of this amendment is similar to the provision in the previous act, except that the “special qualification” required as spec- ified is to be “immunity from diseases incident-to tropical climates.” —_— Mormons Ready to Respond. SALT LAKE, Utah, April 28.—The Deseret News this afternoon publishes a letter from the first presidency of the Mormon church, addressed to Governor Wells. The letter refers to the bat- talion of 600 Mormons that enlisted to take part in the Mexican War, and says: ‘‘War has been declared and our citizens are called upon to enlist.

PATRIOTISN RONS HIGH Over the Coast Is Heard the Proper Sentiment. All Men of All Political Parties Meet at Los Angeles and Discuss the War Situation. Stanford Unliversity Boys Among Those to Volunteer for Service in Cuba. Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, April 28—One of the largest mass meetings that has been convened in ' Los Angeles in many a day was called to order this evening on South Main street by Nathan Cole Jr., president of *the Silver Republican Club. It was called for the purpose of expressing the patriotic sentiments of Southern California in general and of Los Angeles in particular as to the ex- isting war between Spain and the Unit- ed States. All partisanship was buried and Republicans, Democrats, Populists and Silver Republicans vied with each other in expressing their enthusiastic call which is made upon our State.” support to government, flag and coun- | try. Although the speakers represented all four of the different political divi- sions, no reference was made to politics, and the unanimous voice of all was that the administration should receive the unqualified support and assistance of the entire American people at this time. evening, Judge Murphy, who delivered a patriotic address. He said that every volunteer who enlisted for the service of his country need have no fear about his family being cared for in his ab- sence. He added that while the volun- teer soldier received but $13 a month his family would be given four times that amount if it was necessary to pro- vide for them during the time the son or father was absent at the front fight- ing his country’s battle. Mayor M. P. Snyder, a Democrat, de- livered an abie address covering the existing condition of affairs, which was loudly applauded. Judge J. W. Mec- Kinley, one of the best known Repub- licans in Southern California, followed Mayor Snyder. George S. Patton, a Democrat, Judge J. N. Phillips, a Silver Republican, and 1. E. Messmore, a Democrat, also spoke along the same lines. Strong resolutions were adopted un- animously indorsing the present steps taken by the administration in carry- ing on the war. Committees were ap- pointed to take in hand a permanent organization to exist as long as the war lasted on all matters appertaining to the public good, defense and welfare in Southern California. Thesvmeeting was a great success in every respect, and it was the first expression of public opin- fon in the shape of a mass-meeting that has been held in Southern California. PALO ALTO, April 28~The proposal of Captain Cunningham, Company K, National Guard of California, to enlist Stanford men in his company has been eagerly accepted by over thirty stu- dents. Before the week ends the num- ber will be greatly increased. This is considered a rare opportunity to secure actual service. The company, it is thought, will be among the first en- listed, and it is fighting that Stanford After calling the meeting to order, | Cole introduced the chairman of the | men want. While waiting to be called to the State encampment at the Pre- sidio the recruits are being drilled by Captain Harkins of Menlo Park. On Monday it is thought they will be called to go to the Presidio, where, after one month’s drill, they will be subjected to a physical ex- amination and if accepted enlisted in the United States Volunteers for two years, or less should the war end with- | in that time.

President Jordan and mem- bers of the faculty have made it easy for the students to serve the country by excusing them from much college work. SAN RAFAEL, April 28.—Company D, Fifth Regiment, N. G. C., will prob- ably be among the volunteers to in- vade Cuba. Captain Elliott of the company received sealed orders to-day which are supposed to contain such an intimation. The company will soon be recruited up to 103 members and in readiness to jomn Californid’s quota of volunteers. . VENTURA, April 28.—At an enthusi- astic meeting to-night speeches were made by many prominent residents. Among the speakers was Professor Coffman of the High School, who was the instructor of Captain Sigsbee in the FEast when the comimander of the ill- fated Maine was a boy. During the evening eighty-five recruits signed the | ing on the Pacific Coast the Oregon | Rallway and Navigation Company an- roll, and all the volunteers expressed eagerness to go to the front. PORTLAND, Or., April 28.—In view of the possibility of Spanish privateer- nounces that on-all north-bound freight from San Francisco for Portland the rates will include the war risk as well as the usual marine risk. South-bound freight between these ports consists almost entirely of grain, and that is insured by the owners. TACOMA, April 28.—Lieutenant John H. Wholly of the regular army, who bhas been statiohed at the Washington State University, has been appointed by Governor Rogers as colonel of the regiment of volunteers to be mustered into the army from this State from the National Guard.

It is expected that others will sign to-morrow. All three of the of- ficers, together with Lieutenant-Colonel ‘Whitten, have applied for commissions. FOR WAR BUSINESS. Among Other Matters, Butler Sub- mits a Resolution for Income Tax and filver Certificates. WASHINGTON, April 28.—Again to- day the Senate was in the attitude of waiting for business to reach it. A few bills of unimportance were passed, but no business of general interest was transacted. Bills were passed as fol- lows: To examine, determine and report the facts necessary to the establishment of free public highways into the Yosemite National Park; for revising and per- fecting the classification of letters pa- patent office and a therefor. & Butler introduced the following reso- lution: “Thht the bonded indebtedness of the United States shall not beincreased, but that the necessary means to carry on the war against Spain should be raised by increasing the revenues of the Gov- ernment including a tax on incomes and by issuing silver certificates against the seigniorage now in the treasury and by such additional issues of United States legal tender notes as may be necessary.” The resolution went over. Other bills were passed as follows: To improve Humboldt Harbor, Cal., and to provide for the opening of lands containing asphaltum, gilsonite, elater- ite, ete. The Senate at 1:45 p. m., on motion of Chandler of New Hampshire, went into executive session and at 2 o’clock adjourned. “Women of the Red Cross and ‘What They are Doing in the War,” in next Sunday’s Call.
