bv the officials this evening. The
Govetuoi isfavorable to mobilization
near or on the coast; the Secretary of
War. however, suggested Raleigh,
and in addition Gen. Cowles, Maj.
Hayes and other military officials with
whom the Governor consulted, strong
ly urged Raleigh as a point of general
convenience. It was pointed out that
much inconvenience and some delay
would accompany the purpose to mo
bilize at anv other point. It it not
known how long the troops will remain
in uatnp. It is possible that they may
remnin only so long a time as may be
necessary to properly muster them
into the United States service. If it
proves that they may remain in camp
for a longer period than three or four
weeks the Governor will insist that
ttievbe encampea at Wilmington or
some point on the coast.

officers will be instructed to recei'
j no man under the rank 01 com

troops from your State will be as
sembled with others for instruction
and service under direction of the
Major General commanding the army
at some point or points to be desig
nated hereafter. The rendezvous for
your State will be Raleigh. If for any
reason it is found necessary to change
the place of concentration your recom
mendation is requested."
Accompanying the order was a de
tailed statement giving the offices un
dertlie volunteer organization; these
are the offices the Governor will fill

On Board the Flagship n

M. The New York, the P nritTi anr
the Cincinnati bombarded the forts at
the mouth of Matanzas harbor this
afternoon. There were no casualties
on our side,, but it is believed that the
hail of iron which pounded on th
forts must have caused loss of life to
the Spaniards,, though nothing is
known definitely. The engagement;
commenced at 12.57 and ceased at
1.15 The object of the attack was to
prevent the completion of the earth
works at Punta Gorda. A batterv on
the eastward arm of the bav onened
fire on the flagship and this was
also shelled. ' About twelve eight-inch
shells were fired -from the eastern forts
but all fell short. About five or six
light shells were fired from the half
completed battery. Two of these
whizzed over the New York and one
fell short. The ships left the bay for
the open sea, the object of discovering
the whereabouts of the batteries hav
ing boon accomplished. In the neigh
borhood of three hundred shots were
put on land from the three ships at a
range of from four thousand to seven
thousand yards.
Rear Admiral Sampson, when asked
if he was satisfied with the result, said :
1 es. j. am. 1 expected to be.
The half completed Spanish earth
works and battery were apparently all
ploughed up by the shells.
All the ships engaged showed ex
cellent marksmanship throughout the
engagement, and when they were
nringai tne snortest range nearly
every shell took effect.
lhe forts which were bombarded
were on a low Ivinsr point, and were
considered merely earthworks. They
did not make a good target, vet when
the big guns were hred at the shortest
range, portions of the forts could be
seen flying in the air at every shot.
lhe nagsnip returned to Havana.
and the Puritan and Cincinnati were
left on Matanzas station.
On Board the Flagship New-
York, off Havana, April 27, 7 A.
M., via Key West 3.15 P. M. The
blockade continues without incident.
No casualties have been reported to
the flagship. Last night was unevent
ful. This morning the torpedo-boat
Dupont arrived from Matanzas, re
porting that there had been no more
firing there and that the blockade was
effectively established. No prizes have
been secured by the Matanzas squad
ron.
News has been received that La
Lucha last night asserted that two
coasting steamers had sneaked into
Havana harbor on Saturday, but it
should be remembered that at that
time the blockade was only in its
initial stages.
Pood Scarce in Havana.
To day the hghting squadron is
equipped with a force of small boats
which, under cover Ofdarkness, can
get close in shore, where they are
likely to prevent blockade running by
little craft hugging the coast. The
amount of provisions carried by the
two coasting steamers into Havana
last Saturday must have been so small
as to-be practically of no effect. The
incident cannot be taken as in any way
a criterion of the blockade's effective
ness or as affecting in the slightest the
chances of our success. Havana even
now feels the pinch of the blockade
When the Spanish need of food be
comes imperative, then if there is
money enough in the city to make it
worth while, there are likely to be
made manV attemnts at blockade ran
ning, but Rear Admiral Sampson says
they will be unsuccessful. Then will
come'the inevitable and Havana will
be forced to surrender and beg. for
food. x
The appearance of the Spanish fleet
and an attempt to raise the blockade
are contingencies that must be consid
ered.
The Insurgents.
Information regarding the move
ments of the insurgents is meagre, but
it is knpwn that as many as can are
leaving Havana. The insurgent army
is believed to be active and is trusted
to shut off all communication between
north and south Cuba, though commu
nication between Havanu and Bana ta
il o still appears to exist. Much has been
. written regarding a concerted move
ment by the insurgents upon Havana
and its defences1. This seems hardly
feasible. The scarcity of food is bound
to affect insurgents and Spaniards
alike. As soon as the former carry
their campaign into the far north of
the island they are confronted with
starvation.
It is believed the insurgents will ad
here to the irregular tactics and not
transfer their forces in any large num
ber to a territory where starvation will
soon hold sway.
The nroblem of provisioning and
coaling the blockading fleet has so
far proved an easy one to solve.
No More Prizes.
The flagship New York spent last j
night patroling the coast from a point j
west of Havana to within ten miles of
Matanzas on the east. Tne general be- j
lief is that the cream of the prizes has
been taken, and that not many more
Spanish merchsnt vessels will venture j
into these waters. , 1

A HORRIBLE CRIME.
Outrageous Assault on a White Woman
by. a Negro in Brunswick County.
The Perpetrator Captured.
Special Star Correspondence. '
Southport, N. C, April 27.
Officer White and assistant reached
here last evening at 11 o'clock from
Shallotte, with the negro rapist, John
Brooks, in custody. He was placed
securely in the county jail,, from which
he had been released only a month,
after a confinement for attempting the
same deed last winter. His victim
this time is Mrs. M. A. Cheers, a
wjdow woman of Shallotte township,
who liVe3 alone, her nearest neighbor
being a half mile away. On
the r witness stand Mrs. Cheers
stated that after midnight Mon
day morning last, some one
aroused her, demanding an entrance.
Upon her refusal to admit him, the
scoundrel forced his way, telling her
if she raised a cry he would kill her.
She was hopelessly at his mercy and
the villain accomplished his purpose ;
then threatening to kill her if she di
vulged the deed, he left her premises.
She went to her neighbor's, Mr. F.
M. White, and sought aid. Soon four
men had tracked the man she des
cribed as the perpetrator to his home.
His arrest was not made then, and
he made his escape, but an angry mob
was in hot pursuit all day, and that
night an officer arrested him, and
brought him here, after a preliminary
trial, at which there was much excite
ment, but no violence was shown.
THE SITUATION IN HAVANA.
Spanish Troops Concentrated at Various
Points to Repel Invasion Thou
sands Enlisting.
By Cable to the Morning Star.
Havana, April 23, via Cienfuegos,
April 27. Nobody here is able to
make a definite statement- as to the
whereabouts of the Spanish fleet. All
kinds of contradictory news reaches
Havana from Spain and the United
States on the subject, causing consid
erable confusion.
The Spanish troops throughout the
island have been concentrated at dif
ferent points along the coast, so as to
be ready to meet any attempt to land
troops from the United States. Thou
sands of men are reported to be enlist
ingin the volunteer battalions through
out Cuba, and, as very many of the
men have served in the Spanish regu
lar army, they are expected to prove
very valuable to the defence of the
island.
The commission of the Colonial
Government which went to confer
with the Insurgent Government lias
not returned, and even in government
and political circles here it is admitted
that the efforts of the commission to
bring about a settlement of peace have
proved a failure.
Jose M. Del Valle, the proprietor of a
magnificent central plantation at Ma
poi, in the district Sancti Spiritus, pro
vince of Santa Clara, Modesto Ulloa,
a railroad employe, and Arturo Glial u
and Jose Menlle, prominent citizens of
Sancti Spiritus, with some Spanish
artillery captains and various other
people of that district, have joined the
insurgents Senor Del Valle has been
appointed a Colonel in the insurgent
army. v
The excitement caused by the recent
developments in the political situation
is very great though of the subdued
kind. In other words the people may
not be doing much but they are think
ing a great deal and are determined to
make as stiff a fight as possible.
News from Mexico and the Spanish
American republics is also awaited
here, it being believed in certain quar
ters that assistances coming from those
directions in some shape or other.
PRIZE COURT OF INQUIRY.
In Session at Key West Proceedings
Secret Crews of Captured Vessels
Offered Liberty.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Key West, April 27. The Prize
Court of Inquiry, appointed by United
States Judge Locke.at Jacksonville, on
April 4th, to adjust the questions re
lating to the capture of prize vessels,
met here to-day. The Board was pre
sided over, by G. Brown Patterson, of
this city, and the proceedings were
conducted in secret The findings
will not be announced until the entire
matter has been disposed of.
. The case of the Catalina, which was
captured by the Detroit and valued at
$400,000, was the first to be heard. The
work of the Court will consist merely
of taking depositions, which will be
submitted to the U. S, Court, with
which the final settlement rests.
The crews of the captured vessels
have all been offered liberty, but, as
many of them are without friends here,
they do not care to land in a hostile
city, despite assurances of protection.
They will, therefore, probably, be
brought ashOfe here and quartered in

Washington, April 27 The Senate
was in session but an hour and a half
! to-day, during which time Jio import-
ant business was transacted. '
Senator Stewart, of Nevada, intro
; duced the following resolution:
"That the Secretary of War be and

! may be made thereto from the people
I of Cuba, until the Spanish army shall
j be expelled from the island of' Cuba,
i or until the next session of Congress."
; Mr. Hale, of Maine, suggested that
' the resolution belter go to the Com
mittee on Military Affairs, and after a
statement by Senator Allison, of Iowa,
that the whole subject covered by the
resolution was now being considered
by proper committees of Congress
and that there would be no delav in
the
matter, Mr. Stewart agreed that
the resolution should go to the Military
Affairs Committee. .

FOR SERVICE IN CUBA.
Proposition to Recruit Regiments of Yel
low Fever Immnnes Can Be Raised
:
in the Gulf States.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Washington, April 27. The Secre
tary of War is strongly in favor of an
mendment to the existing volunteer
law that will permit recruiting at least
half a dozen special regiments of yel
low fever immunes for service in
Cuba. One such regiment has al
ready been recruited in Louisiana
and Senator Caffery to-day presented
a letter at the War Department from
the son of General Hood, by whom
the regiment was organized, tender
ing its services to the government.
Under the existing law there can be
only three extra regiments recruited.
One of these is already appropriated
to Doctor Wood and ex-Secretary
Roosevelt for his cowboys, who are
already being designated in the de
partment as ' 'Teddys Terrors. ' ' Great
pressure is being brought to bear
from various quarters to secure the
other two regiments.
The Secretary of War, it is under
stood, holds that the practical value of
immune regiments is greater than the
sentimental and political claims of va
rious applicants for regimental honors.
He wants 6,000 immunes provided for
and asked Senator Caffery if they
could be raised in the Gulf States. The
Senator replied that he could raise 20,
000 such volunteers in New Orleans
alone, as practically all the natives
had had the fever and all would vol
unteer. The evidence in the case proves

which ran the blockade on Satur
day last is, it appears, not the only
vessel to have reached this port since
the blockade was established, as the
arrival of the steamer Aviles, from
Nuevitas, is also reported.
The Italian cruiser Giovanna Bau
san arrived here on Saturday. Her
band played the Spanish national
hymn, and the forts and Spanish
warships answered, their bands play
ing the Italian national hymn. The
usual salutes were exchanged.
The Spanish gunboat Liigera, it is
announced here, encountered at Cayo
Piedra. near Cardenas, not far from
Matanzas, an American torpedo-boat
destroyer which opened fire on the
Spanish warship. The gunboat, it is
added, answered with eleven shots.
It is claimed the American destroyer
was damaged and retreated.
The Spanish steamer Montserrat,
from Cadiz' on April 10th, via Las
Palmas. on April 13th, for Havana,

COTTON MARKETS.
By Telegraph to the Mornlnu Star.
New York, April 27. The features
of to-day's operations in the cotton
market was the liquidation of cotton
purchased on the recent sharp advance,
started by weak English cables and
reports tnat eoulnern spot markets
were in a reactionary condition. The
selling movement was particularly
heavy m the May option. In response
to Liverpool weakness the market
opened easy, with initial sales 3 to 7
points under last night's prices.
There was a partial recovery after the
call on buying by less confident bears.
but the market subsequently developed
weakness under lack of support and
hammering by the leading shorts.
Trading was fairly active and aside
from some selling by Liverpool and
Southern representatives early in the
day was of a local professional charac
ter. The market closed steady with
prices showing a net loss of 7 to 11
points.
New York, April 27. Cotton was
quiet ; middling 6 5-16c.
Bpot cotton closed quiet and 1-lbc
lower ; middling uplands 6 5-16c ; mid
dling gulf 6 9-16c; sales 655 bales.
