very rapidly bu: very quietly, and the re.
cruits are promptly forwarded in small de.
tachments to Cuba Very recently full
battery of field artillery, completely equipped
and manned, was dispatched, and iutorma-
ton has been received Of its safe arrival.
Recruiting is progressing rapidly at the
Brooklyn Navy Yard. The report that
twenty vessels are TO be made ready for ser
vice is untrue. There are not SO many that
could be made servceable in q few weeks,
and the only one that il actually preparing
for sea is the practice ship Sabine, which
carries thirty six guns.

NFw YoRK, April 2l,--The Herald's Lon
don special says 1t is understood here
that the American Minister in accordance
with Instructions received from the |. $.
government today, made formal demand |
on Lord Clarendon, British Secretary Of For
eign Affairs, asking for m explanauonin in re.
ation to the case of the American ship
Mary Lowell, which was captured
bv the Spanish war frgate
off one OF the Bahama Islands while in
charge Of British Revenue officials with the
Secretary of the Revenue department on
her matches. This fact in connection with
the reported increase of the American fleet
off West India Islands, creates much scnsa
ton in tho country circles IN this city, ana
it it thought will very likely seriously affect
the new Spanish loan now about to be
put on the market.

probably tue most correct The demolition
