Senate Prepares for War.

WASHINGTON March 2.-The bill
passed by the Senate to-day for the
increase of the navy attracted con
siderable attention in view Of the ten
sion of the Spanish Cuban affair. h
In explaining the measure Mr. Hale,
Of Maine, who reported it from the
Naval committee, said that while he
did not believe the United States
would be involved in war as result of
the present trouble yet, he considered
it desirable to give President author
ity in case of war to call out the naval
militia and charter private ships for
naval transports. The bill as passed
authorizes the addition of 1000 en-
listed men to the navy, the enlisting
for no more than two years of the
naval militia forces in case Of emer-
gency. The bill passed under the five
minute rule, and by unanimous vote.
Another bill of general interest pass
ed, which establishes retired list for
the revenue marine service, similar to
the retirement system of the army and
navy. Most Of the day was given to
the Senate calendar and many minor
bill were passed.

The Cuban Question.

MADRID, March 3.-The Government
oas received a number of offers of
pecuniary and other aid in the event
of a war with the United States grow
ing out of the attitude of the latter on
the Cuban question. The people ap-
pear to be determined to uphold the
Government in its intention to keep
Cuba Spanish colony, no matter at
what cost. The Cabinet is greatly en-
coureged by the attitude Of the Con-
tinental press, which generally speak
ing, expresses much sympathy with
Spain in her determination to resent
what is turned yankee aggression.
One important factor in the support
accorded the Government, which is
sedulously kept in the background, is
that Cuban debentures and other secu-
rites depending for their value upon
the income derived from Cuba are
held to large amount by foreign capi-
talists. ith free uba, these securI-
ties would be practically wo4lA4css,
and this accounts, in a very great
measure, for the attitude of many of
the foreign newspapers, which speak
not so much because they believe that
the United States have any ulterior
motive in recognizing the Cubans as
belligerents, as because the are defend
ing the financial interestof capitalists
of their own countries. In spain itself,
however, the support of the Govern
ment is due to pure patriotism
| Among the offers Of assistance the
Government has received is one from
the Spanish Trans Atlantic Company
which hus offered to place its entire
fleet of steamships at the disposal Of
the Government, making no conditions
whatever. The offer has been accep'
ted and eight steamers will be armed
with 9 to IL centi-metre gunsr Com
pressed sawdust will be used as pro
lection for the guns. If events shall
necessitate such action these vessels
will be used as cruisers and privateers
Thhe Government has. ordered thai
Large quantities Of coal be stored ir
4Cuba for the use of the warships.
Military preparations. are being
hastily but Systematically made, Or.
ders have been issued for the dispatch
to tuba of reinforcement from the
Baleric Canary and Philippine islands.
At the meeting of the Cabinet to be
held tomorrow Admiral Beranger,
Minister of Marine, will ask for credit
to complete the armament Of the war
ships Palava, Oquendo, Vizcayo and
Maria Teresa.
The diplomats here had lohg inter-
views to-day with Senior Elduaven,
Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Three hundred students at the Uni
versity sttempted this morning to make
a demonstration. A number Of working
men joined them. The rector of the
University took prompt action to restore
order and caused the arrest of fifty Of
the more demonstrative of the crowd.
They were soon liberated upon promis-
ing to behave themselves. The police
arrested two of the working men. The
day was otherwise peaceful. Many Of
the shops of the city, on which there
were American names have taken the
precaution to have them effaced, fear
ing that in the present unsettled state
of the public temper, the names would
invite an attack.
