DECLARATION OF WAR.
The Congress of the United States enacted the following, approved by the President, April 25, 1898:
AN ACT declaring that war exists between the United States of America and the Kingdom of Spain.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled:
First. That war be, and the same is hereby, declared to exist, and that war has existed since the twenty-first day of April, Anno Domini, eighteen hundred and ninety-eight, including said day, between the United States of America and the Kingdom of Spain.
Second. That the President of the United States be, and he hereby is, directed and empowered to use the entire land and naval forces of the United States, and to call into the actual ser- vice of the United States the militia of the several states, to such extent as may be necessary to carry this act into effect.
Approved, April 25, 1898.
Before passing the foregoing act Congress had demanded that the government of Spain relinquish its authority in the island of Cuba, and had directed the President of the United States to use the military and naval forces of the country to carry its demands into effect and made provisions for increasing the military estab- lishment of the United States.
/
VOLUNTEERS - ARMY. FIRST CALL.
In accordance with the acts of Congress, the President issued the following, calling on the country for one hundred and twenty- five thousand volunteers:
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS, A joint resolution of Congress was approved on the 20th day of April, 1898, entitled " Joint resolution for the recogni- tion of the independence of the people of Cuba, demanding that the government of Spain relinquish its authority and government in the island of Cuba, and to withdraw its land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters, and directing the President of the United States to use the land and naval forces of the United States to carry these resolutions into effect," and
WHEREAS, By an act of Congress entitled "An act to provide for temporarily increasing the military establishment of the United States in time of war and for other purposes," approved April 22, 1898; the President is authorized, in order to raise a volunteer army, to issue his proclamation calling for volunteers to serve in the army of the United States;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, William McKinley, President of the United States, by virtue of the power vested in me by the Constitution and the laws, and deeming sufficient occasion to exist, have thought fit to call forth and hereby do call forth, volunteers to the aggregate number of 125,000, in order to carry into effect the purpose of the said resolution; the same to be apportioned, as far as practicable, among the several States and Territories and the District of Columbia, according to population, and to serve for two years, unless sooner discharged. The details for this object will be immediately communicated to the proper authorities through the War Department.

NEW YORK IN SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this 23d day of April, A. D., 1898, and of the independence of the United States the one hun- dred and twenty-second.
[SEAL.]
WILLIAM MCKINLEY.
By the President:
JOHN SHERMAN, Secretary of State.
April 25th.
The following telegram was received by the Governor from the Secretary of War, Hon. R. A. Alger:
" The number of troops from your state under call of the Presi- dent, dated April 23, 1898, will be twelve regiments of infantry and two troops of cavalry. It is the wish of the President that the regiments of the national guard or state militia shall be used as far as their numbers will permit for the reason that, they are armed, equipped and drilled. Please wire as early as possible what equipments, ammunition, arms, blankets, tents, etc., you have and what additional you will require. Please also state when troops will be ready for muster into United States service, details to follow by mail."
April 26th.
In view of the fact that the President desired that the national guard should be used as far as practicable to fill this call and that under the constitution of the United States, the national guard (militia) of the state could be ordered into the service of the United States only to repel invasion, to execute the laws of the Union and to suppress insurrection, it became necessary to ascertain which of the organizations of the national guard were willing to enter the United States service voluntarily, and. to obtain such information, special orders, No. 64, were issued, as follows:
25
VOLUNTEERS (ARMY)-FIRST CALL.
"As a demand has been made upon the state of New York by the President of the United States for volunteers, and as he has requested that the quota to be sent from this state be made up as far as possible from the national guard, the commander-in-chief directs the commanding officer of the national guard to have the commanding officer of each infantry organization in the state assemble at once his command in uniform in its armory, and there by an individual expression, freely and voluntarily given, learn how many officers and enlisted men of his organization desire to be mustered into the service of the United States for the term of two years, unless sooner discharged, to serve where ordered by the proper authorities.
" The result of the above instructions to be telegraphed direct to general headquarters, stating in the telegram the present enlisted strength of the organization, and exactly how many officers and how many men desire to volunteer."
The following communication, dated April 25, 1898, from the secretary of war was received by the Governor this day, and by him referred to the adjutant-general of the state.
To the Governor of New York.
SIR :- Under the act of Congress "to provide for temporarily increasing the military establishment of the United States in time of war, and for other purposes," approved April 22, 1898, and calling for 125,000 volunteers, by direction of the President, I have the honor to request you to provide from your state the quota of volunteers, as follows:
Twelve regiments infantry, two troops cavalry, to serve in the arms of service designated for the period of two years unless sooner discharged. Attached will be found a statement showing the organization for artillery, cavalry and infantry.
Please cause the adjutant-general of the army to be informed of the time your quota will be at its rendezvous, as it will be met as soon as practicable thereafter by an officer to muster it into the service and pay of the United States.
