OUR wARsHIPs EXCITE.
The Imperial Sees Cellicose Intent In
the Coming Gulf Manoeuvres-Spain
Seems Content.

Madrid Dec. 1S.-The Impartial, in
an article ON the United States Con-
gress, says:
After the insults and calumnies
against Spain, our excellent almost pro-
tector and friend, Mckinley, as compen-
sation, is going to send a squadron to
the Gulf of Mexico, a measure never
so unnecessary as now, since Cuba has
Captain-General whose policy IS just
and humane. Spain has just made con-
cessions to Cuba. This is because the
yankees are seeking to justify the policy
of the insurgents who base their hopes
on the Intervention of their friends.
The sending of this squadron will
reviyify their hopes and cause a con
tinuation Of the struggle. The inter-
vention of the United States Will be
monstrous act of cynicism. Those who
kept silence in the presence of the Ger
man cruisers at Hayti. do not dare to
risk the disapprobation of Europe"
Continuing the Impartial says:
I'VE know means which will fail the
tricks Of the Yankees. These means
are the gerat wisdom of Spain, the great
loyalty of the island, the grand activity
in our arsenals and the great energy OF
thG SONGi IL 10 uilHCNNSSd1y "
mention the patriotism of SPAIN"
An official note, issued to-day, says
that the dispatch of an American squad
ron to the Gulf of Mexico has not made
n bad impression here, as the govern.
ment is aware that in the present season
the Gulf of Mexico is the only sea
where naval manoeuvres are possible
and that these winter manoeuyreS have
not occurred for two years past on ac-
count of Il desire to avoid Wounding
Spanish susceptibities.
The government, the note says, in
tends to leave to Marshal Blanco the
task of organizing the first Cuban gov
ernment. 1t will hold entirely aloof
on local questions, having confidence in
the general success of the reforms
adopted for the island.
The reports circulated concerning the
construction of Spanish warships are
much exaggerated, according to the note,
which asserts that it is the governments
intention merely to complete the exist
ing squadron in accordance with a
scheme prepared some years ago by a
commission, presided over by the late
Senior Canoyas Del Castillo.
The note concludes with the assur-
ance that the Carlists have not been
contemplating disturbances and that the
leaders of the party are preparing 20
take part in the approaching legislative
elections.

because Armour had begun unloading
some of his enormous holdings yesterday.
1t was feared there would be n tre-

prophecy wrong.

With the 1850, 900 bushels delivered

bushels of wheat in their possession ac-
quired this week. How much more the
syndicate has bought long is not known,

His reason for the request, he said.
was the fact that he needed money and
could turn the effects to some account.
Mr.. Blair assured him that the district
attorney would certainly not grant such
request until the cases were finally
disposed of by the execution of the
prisoner or otherwise.
TIE real motive for Durrant's request

remove from sight the dangerous ex-

Marshal Blanco, the Captain General or
Cuba, was recently sent to confer with
the insurgents.
THE REPORT CONFIRMED.
Havana, Dec. 1S-Col. Ruiz proceeded
into the country on Monday last, having
previously written a letter to Arcan-
guren.
Tonight consular employe, Senior
Tosca, who had been commissioned by
United States Consul General Lee to
make inquiries, returned from campo
Elorido. three leagnes distant from the
insurgent encampment at Tumba Qua
tro. He says he met outposts of Arcan-
guren's force and that the chief of the
party confirmed the report that on his
arrival Col Ruiz was met by Arcan-
curen and an escort of twelve men, VINO
received him warmly. Ruiz urged the
party to accept autonomy and congratu-
lated himself that he would induce them
to return with him to Havana.
The insurgents in camp had not been
prepared for the visit by Arcanguren
and seing Ruiz in his uniform and
learning the object of his visit, they de-
manded the application of the proclama-
ton of Gomez and Rodriguez, which
orders the infliction of the death penalty
upon all persons vino attempt to induce
chiefs of the rebellion to surrender.
In compliance with their demands
court martial was formed and the SEN
tence of death was passed upon Ruiz.
Senior Tosca adds that Arcanguren
stodo aloof during the trial and allowed
the death sentence to be carried out.
Col. Ruiz was executed with a machete.

friend of Ruiz, visited United States
Consul General Lee and asked him 10
use his influence to save the life of
Ruiz. Consul General Lee called pri-
yately on Marshal Blanco and stated
to him the object of his visit. The Gov
ernor General allowed General Lee TO
intercede in friendly way. Early

the American consulate, with young

provisions, left for Campo Florido.

from Marshal Blanco, to seek the camp
of Aranguren with a letter from Con-

yesterday and General Gonzalez Par
RADIO was assured that he was at
liberty. Last night it was asserted that
Ruiz would be released upon the condi-
ton that the insurgent leader Candida
