Is the United States Making Preparations
for War with Spain?

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-Special.-In-
formation has been received here which.
II true. seems TO Indicate that the rela-
tions between Spain and tho United
States are now strained to a dangerous
tension, and that 1t would take but little
to preclpitate declaration of war on
the part OF the former.
From the character OF tho intelligence
it Is evident that the United States Gov
Crnment fully appreciates the situation.
and is prepared, IL the worst comes TO
the worst, TO take prompt measures to
assert its power.
1he information referred TO comes from
a naval officer. who, for obvious reasons,
declines to allow tho publicason Of bis
name. He is now on furlough. visiting
friends. In conyersation to-day no SAID
that no knew il TO be a fact that the
United states was, as rapidly as possible,
concentrating many of her warships In
the caribbean sea, in order to be in a
position to promptly meet any aggressive
movement on the part of Spain.
Another fact, even more significant than
the above said this officer, was that the
Government had instructed the Carpenter
Steel Company. manufacturers or bombs
projectiles and munitions OF war general
ly. to quadruple the size Of its plant at
tho Governments expense. This order
he said. was being executed as rapidly
as possible, forces OF men working night
and day.
From the above facts the officer drew
the conclusion that the Government was
in possession OF some information whicf
had not been given 10 the public. In ract
he said. it was possible that Spain hae
given utterance to sentiments amounting
almost 10 a declaration OF war; ana tha
the Government deemed II wise to pre-
pare for tho worst.
There Is little doubt" said TINS gen
tleman. that While Spain in her I'm

sources having been exhausted by th'
