Spain's Naval Preparations. Drill
In regard to the reports about Span
ish naval preparations, it is said that If
belligerency is to be recognized by the
United States the additional duty will
be forced upon Spain Of maintaining a
rigid and effective blockade of Cuba
The cabled reports in no instance con-,
:vey the impression that vessels have
been secured with any armament which
would fit them for offensive use against
l'the United States. They appear to be
altogether merchant vessels. adapted
only for blockade uses and for transpor-
