United States.

says this morning: I'VE are informed
that the Spanish governms mt signed
contracts last week with an important
firm of British shipbuilders by which it
acquires some cruisers armed with quick
firing guns which the firm had nearly
completed for another government
whose consent, presumably, Spain had
secured to this arrangement.
When the question of finance was
raised by the constructors, the spanish
minister of marine, Admiral Berjamo,
replied that in the event of war the
Spanish government could count on an
internal wear loan."

Blanco's Aides

Havana. Nov. 2.-Another list of ap-
potntments by Marshal Blanco, the new
captain-general OF Cuba, was issued from
the palace today. Brlg. Gen. LUZ VAL
~deranna has been ordered to assume
command of the central districts of the
province of Havana, Brighten. Diaz de
Valla assumes command of the eastern
district of this province, and Brig.-Gen.
andres Garoto will in future command
the western district of Havana province.
The southern district command is done
away with. Staff Col JULIO Alvarez
Chason is appointed Marshal Blanco's
second chief of staff and LIEUT. Col.
Luis Fontaina has been made chief of
staff of the Havana province division.
Brg.-Gen. Leopold Bejar and Brig.
Gen. Issido Aguilena return to Spain on
Nov. 10.
Cen Blanco has issued orders to the
effect that all money found upon the
persons of killed or captured insurgent
officers is to be deposited in the fund for
the relief of invalid Spanish soldiers.
Gen. Luque has sailed for Gibara, prov
ince of Puerto Principe, ON board the
Spanish cruiser Hernacost, which has
been specially detailed to convey the
general to his destination.
Orders have been issued that all Span
fsh troops are to leave within two
months the unused churches in which
thsy have been housed for lack Of other
accommodations.
Marshal Blanco tomorrow will receive
the consuls of the foreign powers, who
will upon this occasion pay their first
official visit to the new captain-general
Special dispatches received here from
Madrid say that the recent magazine
article of Hannis Taylor, the former
minister of the United States at Madrid,
on Cuban affairs, has produced an un-
pleasant feeling at the Spanish capital,
and it is added that the belief prevails
here that the government will be COM
PEELED to interfere in this matter.
The impartial says: 1T is very
strange that the Three Friends should
leave the United States engaged in law
fun trade and yet have a government
official on board as a guarantee of the
legality of her voyage. 1t may be a
trick of the United States government
to incte Spain to exercise the right of
search. which is always liable to bring
about diplomatic complications"

VERY MUCH MODERATED IN TONE

Madrid, Nov. 2.-nMal shal Blanco, the
new captain-general of Cuba, has sent
a cable message ITO the Spanish govern
ment saying hi had fo1nned a favorable
opinion regarding the prospects for the
paeifeatfon of Cuba.
"A ssmi-oficial note was circulat %
day giving more exact definition CT the
contents of the Spanish note in reply to
the communication of the United States.
1t says the mote concluded with the as
surance that Spain is animated by the
same friendly feelings as those express d
in the note of the United States.
The second part of the reply goes into
elaborate details concerning the various
flibustering expeditions which are said
TO have left the United States for Cuba,
which details are based entirely upon
the report of Calderon Ca Isle, the form
en- counsellor of the Spanish Isgatdon at
Washington.
Spain, in concluding That portion of
her reply to the United States, expresses
the hope that this phase Of the situation
will be changed and that 1.-The United
Stats will try to prevent further vlo-
lations of international law
Replying to the offer of mediation
made by the United States, Spain says
she 'ahopes the United States will act
loyalty and correctly in helping Spain to
pacify Cuba, especially in view of the
fact that such an extended form of au-
economist government is about ITO he SIN
cerely granted"
The general feeling here is NOR nope
full of peaceful outcome OF the situa-
tfon, especially since Marshal Blancos
arrival ait Havana, as it Is believed MS
presence will greatly further the sow ING
of the Cuban problem. At the same time
1t is pointed out THAT the SUBMISSION OF
