Congressman J. D. liotkin, (Pop),
of Kansas, made a speech on the Cu
ban question in the House Aprd 12th
that attracted great attention and
won favorable comment from all
sides. He severely criticised the vi
cious attack made upon Congress by
the Hartford (Conn.) Post, the per
sonal organ of John Addition Porter,
the President's Secretary. In an
swer to the unmanly charge by that
paper that the members of Congress
who did not endorse Mr. McKinley's
policy of delay are as vile traitors as
Benedict Arnold, Mr. ttotkin said:

BLOCKADE OF CUBA BEGUN.
"lrt Stei to C'umiMrl the Withdrawal f
Spanish Troop.
(FRIDAY.)
The siege of Cuba has begun. Ha
vana and other ports of the nottiern
coast of the island are blockaded.
A declaration of war is expected to
day, upon a message to Congress from
the President.
A presidential proclamation an
nounces to the world the first step of
the United States toward forcing the
evacuation of Cuba by the Spanish
troops and the hauling down of the
Spanish nag.
Tne ngnting squadron, inciuamg
some of the most formidable warships
of the American Navy, under com
mand of Capt. W. T. Sampson, left
Key West shortly after sunrise yester
day, with the object of effecting an
immediate blocKaae in (Julian waters.
Mantanzas will probably be the base
of supplies duriDg the siege. Coinci
dent with the blockade, relief supplies
will be furnished to the starving ra
concentration, while the insurgent
forces, under Gen. Gomez, will be
eauiDped with arms and ammunition
The volunteer army bill has become
a law, and the proclamation of the
President calling: for 100,000 men will
be issued today. Land forces in larga
numbers will not be sent to
Cuba at once. The regular with
the marine?, will be used first, the
volunteers going into camp to become
seasoned for hard cervice. The use of
the army will be governed largely by
the effects of tne blockade
The first shot of the war was fired
off the Florida coast, early yesterday
morning, when a Spanish merchant
man was brought to and seized, with

but another somewhat too close to her
bows for comfort and safety brought
lit r to.
A prize crew, under Kneign T. P. Ma-
gruder, was put aboard. Capt Lucar
raga, in command of her, was astound
ed, lie said he did not know warfwas
declared; but when be was informed
of the state of affairs he shrugged hit
shoulders and accepted the situation
philosophically.
The asbvillp towed her prize into
this harbor at 11 o'clock this morning.
The news of the capture of the Span
iard set the people at Key est frantic
with enthusiasm. All work was sus
pended and the docks crowded with
people eager to look upon the pnz?. ,
t l itlDg la I'pon Havana.
(SATURDAY.)
The Spanish government has given
the signal for the opening of hostili
ties. Iter ships are under way. Mad
rid advices indicate that Spain await
ed the expiration of the time limit of
our ultimatum before inaugurating
war, although, three days before she
accepted the signing of the Congress
tonal resolutions by the President as a
declaration of war. The ngbting squad
rou has moved up nearer the coast of
Cuba, and the blockade will be mere
effective. Some of our ships are nov
within range of Moro Castle. Fight
ing from the forts may be begun at
any time and a bombardment would
then, no doubt, be precipitated.
President Mckinley's message, rec
ommending a formal declaration of the
existence of war, will be sent to Con
gress Monday. The early adjournment
of the Senate prevented the transmis
sion of the message Saturday. There
will be no delay in making the decla
ration. Both the administration and
the leaders in Congress believe that
formal action is advisable to prevent
the possibility of international com
plications
