BUENOS AYRES, April 22.-All the coal available here and at Rio de Jan eiro has been purchased by English and American agents at the latter town. The Oregon and Marietta will take the Nictheroy to the United States A bat talion of Spanish volunteers has been organized and equipped to go to Cuba.
 NEW YORK, April 22-The Wash ington correspondent of the Herald says: Learning that the Spanish tor pedo gun vessel Iemerario 1 is still at Montevideo, naval officers heaved a sigh of relief and have ceased to worry about the safety of the battle-ship Ore gon and the gunboat Marietta. The Oregon left Callao, Peru, April 5, and 1t is believed that during the seven teen days which have since elapsed she has covered a distance of 4300 miles, which would place her at this time in about the vicinity of Montevideo.
 There is reason to believe the Oregon and the Marietta when next heard from will be reported at Rio de Janiero. Min ister Bryan, the American representa- tive to Brazil, has made arrangements for coaling the ships immediately upon their arrival. Brazil cannot refuse to PCl liilC tllC NCoSCiS u POI ClldSt SulllClSul coal to carry them to Key West, her neutrality obligations only requiring that she shall not permit her ports to be used as a base of operations by one power against another. After leaving Rio de Janeiro the Oregon and the Marietta will steam at once to Key West where they will coal They will then join the North Atlantic squadron
 I was told at the Navy Department l to-day that the Nichtheroy had not sailed from Rio Janeiro, and the of fcials state now that as war Is now on | between the United States and Spain the former Brazilian cruiser will be held at her present anchorage until the arrival of the Oregon and the Marietta, which will convoy her to the United States. It has developed that Brazil declined to sell the Nichtheroy with her battery, so that when she starts for this country she will have no guns aboard. There is no doubt in the minds of the officials of the ability of the Oregon and Marietta to stand off any of the vessels of the Spanish

They Tear Down Americas Eagle and Their Flag
 Falls With Ii.
Civil Governor of Madrid Rallies the Superstitious Crowd by Putting His Foot on the Emblem
 of Liberty.

Copyrighted, 1898. by James Gordon Bennett.
 MADRID, April PA wave of red hot enthusiasm swept over this place with the departure of the American Minister. The demonstration upon the station platform yesterday was the first of a series that lasted well into the small hours of the morning. Ev- cry time a dozen or more people form into a group some one is sure to give the signal, and Viva Espana,' is cried until all are hoarse.
 An incident happened that has unfa- vorably troubled these people, so su- perstitiOhs are all the races with Latin blood in their veins. The hand some building of the New York Equit- able Life Assurance Company stands at the corner of Calle de Alcala and Calle de Sevilla. High upon the facade and just below the dome stood last night an immense eagle keeping guard with outstretChed wings over the starred and striped shield of the United States. Underneath, fastened to the balcony, was a flagstaff, where on fes- tivals and holidays the American flag is usually fioated. Last night an an- gry crowd assembled there before the building. bowling for the American es- cutcheOn to be torn down. AS the hours went by the crowd became denser. A Spanish flag was run out on a pole and was greeted w..h wild cheers.
 Finallytwo men climbed up to the ob- noXious eagle and shield and succeed ed at last in tearing down the em- blem. This they flung to the crowd be- low, which was waiting with frantic impatience to tear it to pieces. But in its fall the eagle with starry shield tore away the Spanish flag. and both fell to the ground together. There was a hush of dismay for a moment. Then some one caught up the flag and waved 1t aloft, while the crowd swept around 1t with shouts and even sobs of en- thusiasm.
 When the eagle fell the civil gov ernor of the town, Senor AquiIIor, who makes his functions popular by his leading and controlling crowds, put his foot upon the offending bird and began a patriotic speech, which was highly applauded.
 Senor Rosilio, director of the Fault able agency. made a speech from the balcony. stating that all employees in the building were Spanish and that the institution was mortgaged upon the lives of Spanish subjects The building was now bright with Spanish flags. Meanwhile the authorities had sent to the offices of the New York Life h. surance Company, asking Director Reed to remove the big sign which at tracts the eye on the Puerto del Sol. This rather serious undertaking-for

SPAIN FAVORS PIRATICAL WAR Fl Epoca Intimates Mad rid Will Issue Letters
 of Marque.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

MADRID, April 22.-El Epoca Con- servative) discusses the question of privateers, and expresses a doubt of the truth of the report that the United States has renounced this option, in asmuch as America and Spain were the only nations that maintained the option at the Congress of Paris in 1S56.' The paper insists that "all the argu- ments then adduced by the United States for upholding the option now are in favor of Spain, who will not re- nounce it."
 El Epoca says also that Spain does not consider fair the declaration of the neutral powers as to contraband of war, thus favoring one of the belliger- ents, namely, America" and it cites the case of England in 1885, who opposd stoutly the action of France in the Tonquin war in declaring rice contra band.
 All that England then alleged in favor oG BrIIlsn subjects" says Fl Epoch, can be urged by Spain respect ing coal, which is the bread of life of industry, without which modern war fare is impossible"
 Respecting the blockade of Cuba, Fl Epoca calls to mind and invites the at tention of Europe to the fact that both America and Spain accepted clause four in the declaration of Paris, providing that a blockade must be ef- fective and not on paper"
 Fl Epoca declares that twice the present American fleet would not be adequate to establish an effective blockade of Cuba. Moreover, under the established rules. a blockade requires previous notification to the authorities of Cuba and the powers, allowing all shipping definite term to clear out of the blockaded ports

THE CARNEY CASE.
No Known Reason for Inv ssti-
eating 1t In an Official Way.

The coroner began yesterday after
noon to investigate the case of the
death of William Carney. So far as
the general public can see, there is pe
reason for the investigation of the
case, as the causes of the death we're
clear and beyond doubt. While the
coroner stated yesterday afternoon to
the PALLADIUM that he had been
authorized by the prosecuting a,tor-
ney to investigate the case, the prose-
cutor IN turn says he did not insti-
gate the investigation, but that the
coroner came to him and consulted in
the matter. The coroner stated yes
terday that it would perhaps be sew
eral days before any conclusion could
be arrived at in the matter.
The coroner claims 20 be authorized
by law IN the matter. and the prosecu-
tor says that when the coroner con-
suited him he told him that the law
made 1t his privilege and also his duty
to lock into all cases where death re-
suited from accident DR.. Watts
bases his action on this informs ton
from the prosecutor.
The prosecuting attorney stated this
afternoon to the PALLADIUM that it
was not as prosecuting attorney that
he was consulted. nor as prosecutor
that he gave Watts his advice, but
merely as lawyer advising a client,
and not In his official capacity.
