Administration Regards tho Action of ' the Spanish Government In Prevent ing'.' Minister Woodlord From Pre senting the President's Ultimatum as Rendering Further Diplomatic Action on the Part of This Country Unnecessary. Washington, April 21, (Special.)- War between the United States and Spain is a fact, though not yet officially declared so by Congress. Tho war between this country and Spain may fairly be said to date from today, April 21, 18)S. Our Country, Wright or Wrong. Two minutes after the opening of State Department, this inorn'ng, word came from Minister Woodford that the Spaish government, having anticipated and prevented his intention to present the President's ultimatum, he had ask ed for his passports. The administra tion, in a public statement, announced that it regarded the action of the Spanish government as rendering unnecessary further diplomatic ac tion on the part of the United States, and further stated that it regarded the course adopted by Spain as one placiug upon that country the responsibility for the breach of friendly relations. Mr. Woodford's telegram resulted in "the calling of a special Cabinet meeting to arrange and outline a plan of cam paign, or to determine how to begin the execution of tho plan of campaign already prepared by the strategic board of the Army and Navy depart ments. The immediate result was the order for the North Atlantic squadron to begin the blockade of Havana. How much further than this the Cabinet progressed in its deliberations it is not possible to say for .the obvious reason that the time has now come when the interest of the government require that the movement of ships and troops should be guarded with the greatest care from undue publicity, in order to prevent the enemy from taking advan tage of the information.

I accordingly asked for safe passports. Turn legation over to British embassy and leave for Paris this afternoon. Have notified consuls. Woodford. SAG ASIA'S FIERY SPEECH. He Said Acts, Not Words, Are Now Necessary. Madrid, via Paris,' April 19, (By Ca ble.) The supporters of the govern ment in both houses of Parliament met iu'the Senate chamber at 5 o'clock this afternoon. Senor Sagasta, the Pre mier, addressed them as follows: "The times are so grave and the circum stances are so exceptional that acts and not words are necessary to face the present difficulty. Attempts are being made to sully the glorious history of Spain by an infamous calumny. Tho different Spanish governments have done their utmost to avert the war to which we are being provoked. We have now reached the limits of concession, compatible with honor and territorial integrity. We consented to the last concession at the instance of the Pope and the powers. We yielded in fact; but now attempts are made upon our honor, and menaces directed against our territory. That is a thing to which Spaniards will never consent. (Applause). This is not the moment to. trace a parliamentary pro gramme, -but the moment to unite our selves, as our fathers have done, in the face of an odious attempt against the integrity of our territory. The insult offerod us today is the most infamous that has ever been offered," (Pro longed cheering). Continuing Senor Wagasta counselled the rapid constitution of the chambers in order to accord to the government the means to defend the country's in terests. "Spain," ho added, "will not allow a parcel of her territory to be taken from her with impunity; nor will she be a party to any trafficking for her possessions. " Prolonged and enthusi astic cheers greeted the speech. BLANCO SWEARS SPANIARDS. They Will Give Their Last Drop of Blood Before Giving Up. Gen. Blanco, in making a speech in Havana, Cuba, on the 21st, thanked the people for their close attention, and after silence was secured, he assured them that he would lead them to vic tory. "Otherwise, I shall not live, " he said. "Do yo'u swear to follow me to the fight?" The crowd answered, "Yes we do?" "Do you swear to give the last drop of blood in your veins before letting a foreigner step his foot on the land we discovered and place his yoke upon the people we civilized?" The crowd shouted back, "Yes, we, do!" ; General Blanco said: "The enemy is almost at the doors of Havana. They have money, but we have blood to shed and we are ready to shed it. We will throw them into the sea." SOLDIERS TO WEAR TAGS. - To Identify Those Who Fallin Battle. - When the men-of the regular and vol unteer armies-go into action they will wear around their necks little tags of aluminum, by which they may be identified if found later on the field of battle. In the last war it was often impossible to properly identify the dead soldiers, and thousands were buried in graves mark ed "unidentified." The war de partment has prepared this system of identification, and it has been decided that on each tag shall be the numeral assigned each man on the muster rolls, with the letter of the conipanj-, battery, or troop, and his regiment. These tags will be sent to the troops in the South when it is evident that a fight is on hand. In the civil war offi cers of some of ths regiments had little silver Bhields inscribed with the wear er's name, rank and regiment. 'REMEMBER THE MAINE." A Stirring Battle Song.

Spanish Cortes Opened. The Spanish Cortes opened at Ma drid, Spain, on the 20th. The Queen regent, in her speech, stated that the menaces and insults which Spain has previously borne, are not the true American sentiments. She appealed to Spain to defend the rights of her 'son until he is old enough to defend him self. Gratitude to the Pope was ex pressed. The scenes were very impos ing. The wealth and beauty of Madrid were present. SHOTS FR03I THE CASTLE. Spaniards Fire at the New York A Futile Attempt at Gunning. Copyrighted, 1898, by tho Associated Press: On Board the Flagship New York, Off Havana, April 23, 2 a. m.' Morro Castle opened fire on the 1 fighting squadron of the United States at 11 o'clock last night. About 10 shots were sent in the direction of our ships, but none of them took eflect, and no shots were fired in return. The Spaniards had apparently seen the lights of the New York while the latter was signal ing to a ship of the squadron. The firing was reported by tho officer of the deck, Ensign J. K. Edie, to Captain Chadwick, who was asleep at the time. The young officer asked the captain in Bomewhat excited tones, whether the New York had not better discontinue signaling. "No," muttered Captain Chadwick, with the utmost coolness; "there is no necessity for stopping the signals. Go ahead." Later Captain Chadwick was on the forward bridge, when te watched the tongues of flame shoot out from Moro Castle. He gjanced in the direction of the Spanish fortifications for a few seconds, and then turned his back on them in silent contempt, and went back to his bed, perfectly certain the Spaniards could do no damage at five miles, which was then the approxi mate distance of the flagship from Morro Castle. ' Another officer said: "The Spaniards probably became nervous, and decided thev could not sleep without some fire works. They cahSi hit anything any way. " There was no excitement on board the flagship during Morro Castle's fu tile attempt at gunnery. The discip line was really splendid. In fact, at this hour, many people on board the flagship do not know, that Spain's first guns of war have been fired and that the New York was their target. On Board Flagship New York, Off Havana, April 24, Noon. During the early morning the Morro Castle batter ies again opened fire on the fleet, but without the slightest eflect There have been no casualties among our forces up to the hour of writing, and not a single shot has been fired against the batteries. BLOCKADE BEGINS. Sampson's Fleet Starts Its Grim Work OfFthe Harbor of Havana. On the 22d inst. , the blockade of Ha vana, the; first act of the war between Spain and the United States, began. Admiral Sampson's fleet left Key West early in the morning, the ships getting under way between 7 and 8 o'clock. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon a definite report from Morro Castle con firmed the current belief in Havana that the American warships were begin ning the blockade. ; ; Later the ships were seen moving on the city from the westward. It wa be lieved m Havana that an attack would be made at daybreak.- Orderlies were BEAK ADKIBAI. SAMPSON rushing through the streets shouting the call to arms. Captain-GeDeral Blanco left his palace and is making his headquarters at a battery. Havana has. been put undr martial law. Grocers have combined to prevent the raising of prices consequent upon the expected scarcity of food. President McKinley issued a procla mation declaring a blockade of the northern coast of Cuba between Car denas and Bahia Honda, and of the port of Cienfuegos on the southern coast Cardenas is in Matanzas Pro vince, and Bahia Honda is in Pinar del Rio. The selection of the northern coast covered by the blockade is about one-fifth of its entire-extent The first shots of the war were fired about an hour after the fleet had left Key West for Cuba. A Spanish mer chant steamship, which proves to be the Buena Ventura, from Paseagoula, -Miss., for Botterdam, - Holland, was caught between the flagship New York and the gunboat Nashville; and after four shots her captain surrendered. Ensign Magruder and a prize crew took the vessel back to Key West, where the prize -will be adjudicated in in the federal district court. Patrick Mullin, a gunner on the Nashville, fired the first shot of the war. Before the blockade began the Amer ican steamer Saratoga left The Span ish merchant ship Mexico left for Mex ico. The American steamer Orizaba sailed for Vera Cruz with 203 passen gers, among them many persons 61 rank and prestige in Havana and with a full cargo, 1 ' SPAIN MADE A REPLY.
