The stage of actual hostilities
between the United States and
Spain was entered upon yester
day. The ministers having
left Madrid and Washington,
the two governments have no

officially.
The late news of the move
ment of the fleet is vffry meagre.
It is supposed that the squad

Secretary Alger says that the treat-

of war and it is so considered by the
Administration.
Minister Woodford left Madrid at four
o'clock this afternoon and has gone to
Paris. All the United States consuls in
Spain have also left the country.
Congress today passed a bill to pro
hibit the shipment of coal from United
States ports and also placed a embargi

THE OREGON IN SANGER.
Hay be Altaekeil by ib Hpanl.b Tor ;
peao Bsal.-Mavnl uineera Con-1
eeracd.
Washington, April 20. Uunttached to :
any fleet and alone on the ocean, the j
battleship Oregon, now on her way to :
Key West from San Francisco, is the!
subject of some concern on the part of
the naval officials, who, while confident
that the big tighter can well care for her
self Bhould she meet a small Spanish
fleet, would much prefer that she were
with Captain Sampson's command than
in having to pass through waters which
in two weeks may be well patrolled by
Spanish war vessels.
Nothing has been heard from the Or
egon s'nee she sailed from Callao on
April 0, and nothing is expected to be
received from her for a week and per
haps longer. From the straits to Monte
video is almost one week's run, and un
less the Oregon has orders to stop in
there and await instructions she may not
be reported until Rio or Bahia is reached.
Somewhere off the South American
coast is a Spanish torpedo boat, which
may be laying for the big ship, but un
less caught unexpectedly, and the au
thorities have no fear this will occur, it
not believed the little craft could
harm the big one. But after rounding
Cape St. Roque, the eastern extremity of
Brazil, and pointing then to the west and
north for the vicinity of Florida, the
Oregon must pass right across the lane
of travel taken by the Spanish fleet, if it
comes over to this side. The Oregou
will be near Porto Rico also, and if the
Spanish vessels operated within a few
hundred miles of that port they miuht
fall in with tho American vessel when
she passes along there about three weeks
from now.
Lieut. Carniilha Npt-abfl.
Washington, April 20. Lieut. Caran-
tha, who left with the Spanish Minister
Barnabe, made the follow ing statement
in leaving Washington:
"It is no longer a question ef retain
ing Cuba. That was merely a question
of territory. Now a higher purpose is
in view tho honor anil dignity of Spain
since the United Stutes has contempt
uously ordered Spain to vacate Cuba and
has made the infamous chnrgc that we
are responsible for the murder of the
poor men of the Maine. These orders
and charges are made with a kick of the
boot, and against such action Spain will
resist to the uttermost. There should
be no mistake about this. History has
recorded tkut even the legions of Napol
eon, with 4UU.0UU men, hearing Uie
triumphs of all Europe, were hailed and
retired from Spain after those legions
had lost between 200,000 and 300,000
men.
We recognize the gallantry of the
American navy, and the notable heron
of its past Paul Jones, Farragut, Por
ter but Spain, too, has ber heroes, and
their blood is in the veins of those now
called upon to defend her honor. I speak
after recently talking with my naval
associates, commanders of Spanish ships
and of torpedo boats, and I know that
there is bnt ene sentiment, namely, that
not one Spanish ship i-lnill be taken.
Your navy may send many of them to
the bottom; superior forces may seek to
annihilate them; but not one Spanish
ship will surrender to the American
nary. With honor at stake, that will be
the response of the navy of Spain."
Lieutenant de Carantha spoke with
great earnestness, and his statement was
taken in notes and authorised.

Worm Killer!
A h'glily valuable preparation,
capuhle, from the promptitude of
its action, of clearing the syBicm
in a few hours of every worm.
The origin, development, and
support of worms, in the human
sj stem, are to be attributed to a
dt-pruveil ami debilitated condi
tion of the stomach and bowels; it
liein an established fact that
wlieie. the digestion is unimpaired,
and general powers of the syHtem
in a heulthy state, they can find no
habitation. This preparation lias
I lie peculiar advantage of not only
destroying every worm, but also of
producing a healthy ac'.ion of the
stomach and bowels, thereby re
lieving many complaints arising
from a derangement of tbe diges
tive organs.
There is no disease to which
) children are exposed which is so
;j common and fatal as worms, and
; this medicine should be kept in
! every nursery and in every house
;j hold. This preparation not only
) extirpates the worms, but cleanses
the sv.lem of the mucus In which
V they are engendered, and promotes
V, a lu-althy action of the digestive
) powers.
2 Carolina Worm Killer never fails
to do all wo claim for it. Try a
f) bottle and get your money hack if
not as represented. Manufactured
