SAILING OF THE SQUADRON.
In the Gray of the Morning the Formidable Array of Fighting Vessels Headed South.
KEY WEST, Fla., April 22.—The North Atlantic squadron, except the monitors Terror and Puritan and the smaller cruisers, sailed from Key West at 5:45 this morning headed for the Florida straits. The skies were growing gray in the coming dawn when the formidable family of destroyers quietly and unostentatiously steamed away, presumably for the shores of Cuba. Besides the two monitors the ships left behind are the gunboat Helena, cruisers Marblehead and Detroit, dispatch boat Dolphin and the torpedo boats Cushing, Dupont and Porter. Throughout the long night unusual activity on the vessels of the fleet told weary watchers on shore that the long awaited advance on Havana was near at hand, yet there was nothing official on which to found that belief.
Washington advices of yesterday indicated the probability of a movement during the night or to-day, but the naval men ashore disclaimed any knowledge of orders. They still averred that their condition of uncertainty was still unchanged. Early in the evening, however, came the first realization of the fact that the tedious period of inaction was nearing its close. When signals were hoisted recalling all the men to the ships without delay many interpreted this as a precautionary measure, especially in view of the fact that a number of officers, including several from the flagship, remained ashore and had leave for the night. About 11 o'clock there occurred a decided change in the situation when a special boat hurried from the flagship with orders to all still ashore to immediately return to the ships.
Midnight found the city empty of gold braid and blue jackets with which it had grown so familiar. Save one or two recalcitrant jackies, whose patriotism had run away with their sense of duty, there was not a naval man to be found in town. The theater of action gun on the port side aft, manned by Lieut. Killingham. The Spaniard ignored the shot, but another closer to her bows brought her to.
A prize crew under Ensign Magruder was put aboard. Capt Lucarraga, in command of her, was astounded. He said he did not know that war had been declared, but when he was informed of the state of affairs he shrugged his shoulders and accepted the situation philosophically.
MINISTERS RETIRE.
Woodford Leaves Madrid and Bernabe Departs from Washington.
MADRID, April 21.—The following is the text of the note received this morning by Gen. Woodford from Secretary Gullon, Minister of Foreign Affairs:
“Dear Sir: In compliance with a painful duty I have the honor to inform you that there has been sanctioned by the President of the republic a resolution of both chambers of the United States which denies the legitimate sovereignty of Spain, and threatens armed intervention in Cuba, which is equivalent to a declaration of war. The government of her Majesty has ordered her minister to return without loss of time from North American territory, together with all the personnel of the legation.
"By this act the diplomatic relations heretofore existing between the two countries, and all of the negotiations between their respective representatives, cease.
"I am obliged thus to inform you, so that you may make such arrangements as you think fit. I beg your excellency to acknowledge receipt of this note at such time as you deem proper. Taking this opportunity to reiterate to you the assurances of my distinguished consideration. [Signed] P. GULLON."
MADRID, April 21, 4:30 a.m.—Gen. Woodford arrived at the station about a quarter of an hour in advance of the time at which the train was scheduled to leave. The train started half an hour late, and during the interval Mr. Woodford conversed with the representatives of the foreign press and a number of friends.
race out the day without being discovered by the great grey monster that blackened the sky to the west in one solid mass of black cloud from the funnels of roaring furnaces. Vainly the Spaniard raced. Charging along at a trial test speed, the New York soon lay across the bows of the Spanish ship and the crashing challenge blazed from the deck of the cruiser.
A huge puff of white smoke rolled out from the side of the warship, and far off, just in front of the Spaniard, a mountain of white foam leaped into the air. In a moment the course of the strange Spaniard was changed and she hove to. Shortly after the New York led her prize further out from shore and laid her to. Captain and crew could be seen rushing about the deck of the ship like ants, hiding their valuables and striving to avert some impending fate they could only guess at in their ignorance. As she came around her name could be plainly read on her stern.
She is the Pedro of Bilboa, a Spanish freighter, two master, with a black funnel and single yellow stripe, and hull black above red. As soon as she was laid alongside the Pedro was boarded by Ensign Frank Marble of the New York, with a prize crew of marines and seamen. With great formality the ensign swung aboard and assumed command. A burly, bare-footed American tar shoved the quartermaster away from the wheel and began to set the course of the Spaniard. The Spanish crew gathered in a terrified huddle near the forecastle and awaited developments.
Hardly had the prize crew been put on board before another freighter was seen going down the coast to the eastward. The New York, leaving the captured boat to the prize crew, drew across the bows of the stranger and sent a shot in the water directly in front of her. She paid no attention to the challenge, but kept steadily on, and a few seconds later another shot was sent hurling across the water in front of her.
After this hostile demonstration she halted, and was soon following the New York out to sea. It was ascertained, however, that she flew the German flag, and was allowed to proceed unmolested.
As this is carried from the scene of the occurrence by the Echo, the Pedro is headed for Key West to be used
When signals were hoisted recalling all the men to the ships without delay many interpreted this as a precautionary measure, especially in view of the fact that a number of officers, including several from the flagship, remained ashore and had leave for the night. About 11 o'clock there occurred a decided change in the situation when a special boat hurried from the flagship with orders to all still ashore to immediately return to the ships.
Midnight found the city empty of gold braid and blue jackets with which it had grown so familiar. Save one or two recalcitrant jackies, whose patriotism had run away with their sense of duty, there was not a naval man to be found in town. The theater of action was transferred to the harbor, where a glittering panorama was enacted until daybreak appeared slowly over the waters of the gulf. For many days past the flagship majestically swung at anchor about seven miles out, flanked by her gorgeous sisters, the Iowa and Indiana. To the eyes of Key West the great smokestacks were barely visible, while the hulls lay like indefinable shadows in the distant waters. The inner harbor, however, offered a striking picture, crowded with monitors, cruisers, gunboats and little but sinister torpedo boats, fitting no lesslessly in and out of the maze of greater vessels lying at anchor. When twilight fell last night this scene was unchanged. The signaling between the distant trio of ships and those closer in shore had been the custom ever since the assemblage of the fleet here, but last night vari-colored lights glimmered their messages across skies almost without cessation.
The first streaks of the morning light were crossing from the east and two bells just sounded from the ships when a tiny, to unfamiliar eyes an almost imperceptible, line of fire appeared on the sky above where lay the flagship. A moment or two after and the signal staff of the Cincinnati, lying off Fort Taylor in the inner harbor, flashed into colored light, acknowledging the call.
The Puritan and Helena joined in the incandescent signals, and soon the skies were kaleidoscopic, as ship after ship answered and new lights ticked messages fraught with the gravest importance and creative of history. What words, of course, no one ashore knew, but the few who watched with straining eyes from sea and docks needed no interpreter to tell that it meant hostile action.
The message was not long in delivery, but sunrise had fully come as the last letter flickered and went out. Then the witnesses saw that the movement had actually begun under cover of the night. The big ships could still be discerned in the distance, but the others had moved toward them, the flagship drawing other ships of the squadron to her.
The Wilmington and Amphitrite had slipped from their anchors and advanced within hailing distance of the flagship. It was just 5:42 when the New York, without unnecessary display, moved pompously and slowly toward the outer waters of the gulf. The red light flashed the signal to eager eyes on the following fleet and told them to get in motion at last.
To those ashore it looked as if the New York was somewhat in advance of the line with the Iowa and Indiana following on either side, but separated from her by a good stretch of water.
As the line advanced toward the horizon the ships spread out until perhaps there was a distance of three miles between the tips of the crescent. The ships of the inner harbor had stepped out one by one and stopped by various stations until the entire formation was ready to move. The exact or
"I am obliged thus to inform you, so that you may make such arrangements as you think fit. I beg your excellency to acknowledge receipt of this note at such time as you deem proper. Taking this opportunity to reiterate to you the assurances of my distinguished consideration." [Signed] P. GULLON."
MADRID, April 21, 4:30 a.m.—Gen. Woodford arrived at the station about a quarter of an hour in advance of the time at which the train was scheduled to leave. The train started half an hour late, and during the interval Mr. Woodford conversed with the representatives of the foreign press and a number of friends.
An immense crowd gathered at the station, composed of all classes. A strong force of police and civic guards maintained order, while among the crowd moved a large number of private detectives. A detachment of civil guards accompanied Gen. Woodford to the front car. The retiring minister maintained his usual calmness, but looked worn and fatigued.
5:30 p.m.—When the crowd was thickest about him, Gen. Woodford forced his way through and approaching Col. Moret, the chief of police, shook hands with him cordially, thanked him for his kindness and zeal in guarding the United States Legation and his (Cen. Woodford's) residence for so many months.
When Gen. Woodford took his seat in the train, there was a stir among the spectators, and a rush toward the window of the carriage. The minister sat dignified. Senor Aguilar, the civil governor of Madrid, his gigantic figure rising head and shoulders above the crowd, in a stentorian voice raised by the crowd. "Viva España!" sounded throughout the station until the train was fairly outside. This was not meant as a kindly farewell, but was an explosion of long-pent-up feelings.
Outside the station Senor Aguilar addressed the crowd, counselling calmness and confidence in the government, which he said, would safeguard the honor of Spain.
The English flag is now flying over the American Legation, which is guarded by the police.
The retiring Spanish minister's letter to Secretary Sherman was as follows:
"Legation de Espano, United States of America, Washington, D.C., April 20, 1898.
Mr. Secretary: The resolution adopted by the Congress of America and approved to-day by the President is of such a nature that my permanence in Washington becomes impossible and obliges me to request of you the delivery of my passports.
The protection of the Spanish interests will be entrusted to the French ambassador and to the Austro-Hungarian minister.
On this occasion, very painful to me I have the honor to renew to you the assurances of my highest consideration.
LUIS POLO Y BERNABE.
To Honorable John Sherman, Secretary of State of the United States of America."
Bernabe and his suite departed at once for Canada.
THE NEW YORK'S PRIZE.

NEW YORK, April 23—The New York Journal prints the following from Key West to-day:
The Journal's dispatch boat Echo arrived this morning with the following discharges:

SNAP SHOTS AT THE NEWS
Charles Emory Smith, editor of the Philadelphia Press, has been appointed Postmaster-General, vice James A. Gary, resigned. It is stated at the White House that Postmaster General Gary's resignation has absolutely nothing whatever to do with the present foreign complications. It was owing entirely to the condition of Gary's health. He is suffering from a general breaking down of the system.
The State encampment G. A. R. in session last week at Wichita, Kan., unanimously passed resolutions denouncing the pension administration of Commissioner H. Clay Evans, and demanding his removal and the appointment of some one who will "execute the laws in accordance with the true spirit that prompted their enactment." President McKinley is explicitly exempted from censure in this connection.
Earl Wilson, the twelve-year-old son of County Commissioner C. W. Wilson of Mason Valley, Nev., had a remarkable escape from death while returning home with vacuqueros who had been rounding up cattle. The men were unsaddling their horses, when the horse the boy had been riding started to run. The boy had coiled his rope and hung it over his right forearm, the other end being tied around the horse's neck. The rope held fast to his arm, and he was dragged half a mile over sagebrush and rocks before the horse was caught. When the horse was stopped, the boy stood up and unwound the rope from his arm and fell into the arms of his father, who had followed close behind. Not a bone was broken, but his clothes hung in shreds, and his body was terribly bruised and lacerated. He will recover.
The departure of the First Regiment, United States Infantry, comprising 500 men, from San Francisco for New Orleans over the Southern Pacific railroad, resulted in a popular demonstration such as was never before equalled in that city. At least 200,000 people assembled along the line of march from the Presidio to the ferry, and there was a continuous roar of cheers as the soldiers marched along. Intense enthusiasm was displayed all over the city. Thousands of school children who had been granted a half holiday, sang patriotic songs and wavied rifles and fixed bayonets, surrounded the house of Sheriff Knight and demanded that he release the prisoner. The sheriff was alone and ill. The negro troops gave him five minutes to comply with their demands. He gave up his man. Col. Daggett, when the latter feature of the affair was brought to his attention, said he would investigate it, and if the report was true would discipline every man severely.
Augustus C. Widber, treasurer of the city and county of San Francisco, has been arrested and has confessed to having embezzled about $116,000 in gold from the vaults of his office. He had cleverly cut the strings of several sacks without breaking the seal, abstracting amounts ranging from $5000 to $9,700, putting silver in the sacks to make up the required weight. Widber claims that he took the money to invest in mines, his investments coming out badly. It is known, however, that he had been playing the races heavily, and both his friends and the police believe all the amount of the defalcation has been paid over to the bookmakers. He is reported to have been drinking and consorting with disreputable characters, of late, and has made several threats to commit suicide.
It is claimed the municipality will not be a loser by the defalcation, being protected by a $250,000 bond.
The little schooner Willard Ainsworth sailed from Portland for Kotzebue Sound and Selawik Lake on a gold-seeking expedition. At the head of the enterprise is C. C. Nelson. President of the Arctic Trading and Mining company. Nelson eight years ago was with the Elliot surveying party which was recalled and disbanded near the Mackenzie river. Mr. Nelson there left the party and together with a companion, walked to Point Barrow, a distance of over 700 miles, where they stayed for awhile awaiting the arrival of some whaler. Finally they concluded to walk to St. Michael, and started off with a long stretch of ice and snow before them. On the way they fell in with a tribe of Esquinaux at Selawik Lake and were cordially received by them. They decided to remain awhile and await a good opportunity to get to civilization. During his stay at the lake, Nelson saw unmistakable signs of gold, in fact gold was so plentiful that the natives used it for making bullets for their rifles.

The departure of the First Regiment,
United States Infantry, comprising 500 men, from San Francisco for New Orleans over the Southern Pacific railroad, resulted in a popular demonstration such as was never before equalled in that city. At least 200,000 people assembled along the line of march from the Presidio to the ferry, and there was a continuous roar of cheers as the soldiers marched along. Intense enthusiasm was displayed all over the city. Thousands of school children who had been granted a half holiday, sang patriotic songs and wav-ed small flags, while others strewed the path of the departing warriors with flowers. The troops were escorted from the Presidio to the depot by the entire police force of the city and a troop of United States cavalry.

Mules destined for the Spanish army at Cuba were taken from the Spanish steamship Catalina, just before leaving New Orleans, one day last week, and held by the authorities as contraband of war. They were part of a band of 1200 mules and horses purchased in New Orleans by a Spanish agent for use of the army in Cuba. They would have been shipped some time ago had not the Morgan line discontinued its steamers to Havana. The Catalina loaded the mules and was to have left with them. There was quite a crowd of people at the wharf where she was unloading and loud protests against allowing the vessel to leave here with coal for the enemy's fleet or mules for the enemy's army. The ship's officers were notified by the custom officials that the mules and horses could not be shipped. The Spanish Consul and Spanish agent went before Collector Wilkinson and a long and heated controversy ensued. They asserted that as the vessel had cleared before noon she had a right to carry the mules. This was denied and the mules were finally taken from the vessel and delivered to stables amid the cheers of the crowd present. The Catalina then set sail for Havana. Her cargo consists mainly of provisions. Her ultimate destination is Cadiz, and she may not stop at Havana if she finds naval operations under way there.
There has been a marked improvement in the demand for California dried fruits within the past week, says a New York dispatch. The orders, however, have been chiefly for small lots needed for immediate consumption. Speculative interests are dormant, only approach to it being an increased demand for apricots, which, according to the most conservative reports, promise a short crop. Next in
We are prepared to-day to capture or destroy any force that Spain could possibly send against the Pacific coast." said Rear Admiral Kirkland at Mare Island navy yard a day or two age. "In the first place the Spanish government has no vessels in the Philippines. We have a greater force there than Spain can easily take care of the opposing fleet. The next possibility lies in sending a fleet through the Straits of Magellan. Even if Spain had the ships to spare they would be practically useless after they got into the Pacific through lack of coal. We have two monitors, the Monadnock and the Monterey, that are more than a match for any vessel in the Spanish navy. Besides these two we have the Boatington and Mohican, which are BOW on route from Hawaii Islands. The Charleston will be in commission by May 1 and if it were necessary we could have the Yorktown and Philadelphia in fighting trim by the lst of June. What I rely upon largely to complete our coast defense are the three torpedo boats now nearing completion in the sound. This number can be increased materially if the necessity presents, since each requires only sixty days for building."
State Treasurer Levi Rackliffe died a little before noon at his residence in Sacramento on Thursday. As soon as his death was announced Gov. Budd ordered the vault door to be closed and sealed, and instructed Deputy Treasurer Judson to remain in charge until other arrangements were made. Rackliffe had been ill almost from the time he took office. His aliment which had made him very weak, was dropay,and this coupled with the fact that he had recently taken a severe cold which resulted in pneumonia, was the cause of his death. In last general election at which Rackliffe was chosen treasurer, his popularity was demonstrated by the fact that he got a larger plurality than any other candidate on the Republican ticket.
Gov. Budd on Friday appointed Will S. Green of Colusa State Treasurer to fill the vacancy. By the appointment of a successor to Rackliffe, the Governor will acquire a large amount of additional patronage. The State Board of Capitol Commissioners consists of the Governor, Secretary of State and State Treasurer. This board selects the twenty or more gardeners laborers and watchmen employed in and around the capitol at salaries ranging from $1200 to $1500 a year.
The handsome building of the New York Equitable Life Insurance company at Madrid stands at the corner of Calle de Alcala and Calle De Seville.
