CAREFUL PREPARATION.
THE MESSAGE FROM THE UNITED
STATES TO SPAIN
Is Evidently the Reason for Activity In
Naval Circles-Spai Will Reject our
Overtures Meddlesome.

A telegram from Madrid says: 1t is
that Minister Woodford's q essage to
the Spanish government will bring
about a crisis. The government of the
United States will for the first time
insist upon its right to intervene in
the Cuban affair. Althou ID th3 mes
sage to be delivered by the American
minister is written in fair and cour-
teous terms, it is il substa1 ce a declA-
ration that war in Cuba must come
to an end, and that the government in
the United States cannotremain sup ne
or Indifferent while its interests and
the interests of civilization are tram
pied upon. 1t Will be remem bered that
President Cleveland, in his 10 essI ge to
congress, asserted that the time would
come, unless Spain demonstrated her
power to maintain order n ths island,
when the United States would be COM
PEELED to act. Those who have follow
ed the facts closely Will also be aole to
recall the fact that, only last January,
HanulS Taylor, the American minister
to NJ adrid, who today presented his
letters of recall, informed tue Spanish
10 mister Of foreign affairs, in writing,
that unle, 5 Spain should confer upon
Cuba such rights and liberties as would
satisfy public Sc ltiment in America
before President Mckinley assume
of autonomy or reform would disappear
and nothing would be- considered -ty
the United States but the que stion of
absolute political independence for
Cuba.
Minister Wcodfords message re-
counts to- the Spani gov
eminent the evidences of Span
ish inability TO maintain
Spanish sovereignty in the island, and
American property, the constant vic
la,ion of our treaty rights, the enormus
losses to our commerce, and the need |
less suffering inflicted upon vast popu- |
latiOps. 1t suggests the impossibility |
Of ending the war on the present lines |
of Spanish pc ity, and asks the Spanish |
government to accept the friendly pre-
positions of the UniJs d S ates to bring
a bout an honorable peace. A demand !
will be made for the Independence O
Cuba, and the language o. this first
is suggestive, rather than
t is quite certain that no Spanish
ministry would dare to act upon the
sugge stions which are to be made
by Minister WoOdford, except to re-
ject them. Nothing car exceed the
hatred of the Spanish people for the
American government. President Nc !
message will be resented bit
terly, and will stir the passionate Span
iards to their depths. The Spanish |
government seems to be fully aware of !
the gravity .of Mr.. Woodford's mes
sage, and that is the explanation OF |
the rapid preparations for war which |
Spain is making, and the examination |
of American coast defences 10y Span
ish spy. All those who are in the con-
fdence of the royal government just
now appreciate the nature of the crisis |
at is apprO aching.

Notice to Shippers.
Office of Commercial Agent,


Ell Paso. Texas, Sept. 10, 1887.
In order to obiviate delays to sea-
board, freight shipped via the Morgan
Line steamers and Sunset Route, it
was intended to have the steamers sail
direct to and from Galve ston, until the
| quarantine restrictions at New Orleans
were removed. 1t was considered, how
ever, that this would leDgthen out the
| thOrOuP hly esta blished fast time sched-
ule attained by the Great Sunset Route
and inasmuch as the steamers sail to
and from Algiers and do not touch at
New Orleans, arrangements have been
effected where by the Texas quarantine
authorities will station a special agent
at Algiers to supervise quick transfer
from ship to Car and give certificate
permitting immediate despatch, thus
making no change of time or facilities.
1t will be observed, therefore, that
the Sunset Route manaP ement are
ever alive to the best interests of its
patrons, and we solicit a continuance
of the bestowal of your business.
For the protection of the interests of
our patrons, we would announce that
restrictions have heen promule d
prohibiting the handling of freight or
iginating IN New Orleans, or passing
through that point, either having des-
tnation in the state of Texas, or des-
tined to points beyond: therefore, we
would request that for the present no
freight be routed through New Or
leans.
On freight originating in Chicago,
Cleveland, Cincinnati and adjacent ter
we would solicit routing
ST. Louis, care Frisco Line,
H. q T. G. and Southern Pacific; M. K.
& T Fl. & T. G. and Southern Pacific:
G. r. l. & P. II. & T. G. aud Southern
Pacific: or Burlington. M. K. 81 T., H.
& T. G. and SOuther Pacific.
This does not in any way effect
freight to and from sea board via Nor
gan L ne steamers and Sunset route,
IS same does not pass through New
Orle ans.
The post office department advise
hat all mail from New Orleans to Mo- I
bile Scranton, Ocean Springs and
'ther supposed infect districts is fumi- s
rated and no danger from that source
s likely to arise.

Commercial agent.

William Mckinley, pre- sident of the
United States of Am erica, to her
majesty Dona Maria Cristina, queen
of Spain, great and good friend l
have made choice to Stewart L. Wood
ford, one of our distinguished citizens,
to reside near the government of your
majesty, in the quality of Envoy Ex-
traordinary and Minister Plenipoten-
tiary of the United States of America.
He is well informed of the relative in
terests of the two countries and of our
sincere desire to cultivate to the fullest
extent the friendship viii; h has so
long subsisted between the two govern
ments. My knowledge of his high
character ard ability gives me entire
confidence that he will cor st .ntly en-
deavor to advance the interest and
prosperity Of both governments, and

| and will rot. Neither will he have eX-
| cuses for permitting Spain to pursue
! the policy of prOcrastinatiOn that has
characterized her movements in years
past.
Spanish agents have been spying
around our for titicatiOns, but as yet
they have been unable to learn with
accuracy the location of the sub-ma-
rine mires which protect the import
ant harborS on the Atlantic coast.
Every summer the naval war college
at Newport is engaged in planning and
fighting imaginary sea battles with
war ships of all nations. For scores of
years the naval in Intelligence buresu has
been collecting data as to the strength
of foreign fleets and the character of
the coast defenses, and in re gard to the
with the board of military intelligence
of the war department. Therefore,
the naval bureau has sharpened its
wits and has become exceedingly well
posted on naval operations. and to a
considerable extent it works in con-
junction with the war college.
Whenever the secretary of the navy
desires to know the best disposition to
be made of his fleet, that it can be called
protection if needed, he sends for the
officers of the War College and the
Board of Intelligence and together
they work out in detail numerous
schemes Of operation, always consider
ing that some point on our shores Is
threat tened by a hostilik fleet. Then
he can determine which of the swift
est cruisers shall make the long voy-
ages ard which of the heavy ships
shall take to the docks or repair sta
tiOns. On the surface there is nothing
in the coming movements of the torn
edo boat fOtilla. Next month these
boats Will steam south along the At |
lantic coast. around the Florida Keys. |
and into the Gulf Of Mexico, and per-
haps short distance up the Mississippi
oi. This fact should not be lost sight |
If They will be doing sea duty ard |
will be ready for actual hostilities to
operate o. Havana at any time between
he first of October and the middle of
anuary, by which time the cores
,ondence with Spain will have been
Om Dleted

Even at the present moment there is
consid BILE feeling between the coup-
tries. Public opinion in the United
States is clearly on the side of the Gu
bans. The simple word oppression
works on Americans like a match in a
powder barrel, With the Spaniards
the sentiment is gaining ground that
the United States are inclined to med
die officially ia matters that, according
to the law of nations, ought not to con-
Germ them. Spaniards like to call al
tention to the sentence in President
Monroe's me sage defining the doctrine:
With the present possessions or
colonies of any European power we
have not interfered nor is it our in
tenton to interfere. Even the most
enthusiastic Pan-American must admit
that according 10 al law the
United States has no grievances against
Spain. The partial loss of its sugar
and coffee trade can not be regarded as
much.
Insurgents Motives Impunsed.
Certainly Spain is not the cause of
the present condition of things in
Cuba. The devastation in the agri-
cultural districts is not due to the
troops of Spain, nor has Spain des-
troyed the trade between Cuba and
, TIE United States. In the last two
"
it will be able to get out of the island
| in the next ten years, shOnld it retain
the ownership. The motives of the
| leaders of the rebellion are partly am
| bitiOn, partly covetOusness. The great
err number of the leaders have nothing
to lose ana everything to gain. They
| fired the first shot without regard to
| corsequeuces, burned, murdered and
plundered. The rebels possess no or
eanic government, and not even place
that they can call their own. They
are only euerilias that dare not meet
| the Spanish army in open combat.
The Amer lean, e. j. Phelps, re mark
ed that, should the United States in
/ terfere in this conflict it would be on
the side of the rebels, aud in order to
drive out TIE Spanish Cover nment,
and to ests blish new one This won d
be cquiva ent to a declaration of war
agar ST SIain, country at peace with
the United States, and which has give q
no cause for quarrel. 1t would be a
direct violation of the law of IA ions

RELATIVE STRENGTH.
A German Paper Backs the Naughty Dont
of Spain.

The Interna, iopale Revue, a leading
German militia journal. in an article
entitled The Strength of the
United States Relative to Spain,'
argues against the success of the United
States. 1t says: Although an imme-
date armed conflict between the
United States and Spain seems hardly
probable, still review of the relative
strength of the two nations is not with
out interest. In the West Indies the
remnants of once colossal empire are
coming into contact with a steadily
growing nation. the Arglo-American
United States who. in taking posses
sion of Hawaii. will abandon its mo
colony policy. Probably not immedi-
stely or in the near future, but some
time the decisive conflict must be
