Tampa, Fla, March 2S.-Fighting Bob
Evans left tonight for Key West, after
having spent the entire day at Port Tam
pa. He goes to assume charge of the
battleship Iowa.
To the Morning News correspondent he
talked very frankly and knowingly re-
garding the outlook for war and what
should be done in that event. He believes
firmly that the Maine was blown up
by Spanish treachery, and expressed linn
self freely on that subject, making some
points that were invincible. He said: Il
do not believe that President Mckinley
can hold Congress in check until next
fall. Immediate action Is imperative, and
do not believe that we will escape war;"
Continuing, he said: 'If was a betting
man, 1 would bet 500 to $40 that there will
be. war.
II would also bet that there will be an
attempt to assassinate Lee if war is de-
clared.
"Your coast defenses at Tampa need
looking after, and Key West is in almost

could be down the bay and blow your
town into atoms. There is nothing to pre-
vent any small vessel from coming up and
blowing your town and your people into
smlthereens.
"The railroads would certainly be at
lacked by the spaniards at the first oppor-
tunity. Immediate steps should be taken
to protect them so that troops and sup
plies could be shipped from here to Cuba.
Fifty thousand troops should be stationed
here, and ships provided to carry them
to Cuba.
.'rhe torpedo hotilla should be stopped
The United States should strike a knock
ont blow before the enemy could even get
a chance. We have an enormous coast
line to protect and we should not wait
until Spain attacks it. l do not believe
in delay"
Capt Evans said that hospital should
be established at Punta Gorda, and told
the Plant System officials that he would
recommend this.

SPAIN REPLY SPIRITED.
Claim Made That This Country is To

blame for Continuance of War.
London, March 20. a. m.-The Madrid
correspondent of the Daily Mail gives a
version of the negotiations between Unit
ed States Minister Woodford and the Span
ish cabinet last week, differing somewhat
from that given yesterday by the Stand
ards Madrid correspondent:
''The note which Gen. woodford pre-
scented on Wednesday was of a commina-
tory nature It demanded that Spain put
an end to the war in Cuba Immediately,
recapltulating the damage done to Amer
ican interests, and further limiting that
the war was danger to the public health
of the United States. the continual snug
Cling between the coasts of Cuba and
Florida being the means of conveying the
yellow fever.
"Spains reply was energetic. II declares
that the war would have been ended long
ago but for the material and moral help
and support the rebels were continually
receiving from the United States. The
Spanish note complains of the policy of
the United States In demanding from
Spain the termination of war which the
United States were virtually maintaining
by the presence of a squadron in the
neighborhood of Cuba and by organizing
succor for the reconcentrados in manner
that would be offensive to any nation, as
well as by. keeping in Havana consul
who is publicly the agent and represents
tive of the rebels.
Public opinion rejects all idea of yield
ing and apparently neither desires nor
fears war with the United States. Yet
Spain knows she is confronted with the
most serious conflict she had to face since
the Napoleonic wars. There is an enor-
nous absence of excitement among the
people, wrose one topic is the possibility
of war. 1t is the calm before the storm,
which will break when the American ulti-
matum comes"

washington. March 2s--At the instance
of senator Clay the Secretary OF the Navy
is seriously considering the proposition to
establish a naval coaling station at Savan-
nah.
Senator Clay made a visit to the navy
department to-day and had consulta-
ton with Capt. Bradford, chief of the
equipment bureau. on the subject.
senator Clay made a strong argument
in favor of locating coalIng station on
Tybee Island in Savannah harbor, and the
impression made upon Capt. Bradford was
exceedingly favorable.
II was shown that Savannah Is about
half way between New York and Tortu-
gas and there Is ample water for the
heavy draft vessels TO cross the bar and
come into port for coal
In the event of war coaling station
will have to be located along the South
Atlantic coast, and it is believed that
Savannah offers better facilities than any
other place mentioned The subject was
referred TO Capt. Bradford by Secretary
Long and he viii reach decision In a
Senator Bacon and Representative
Brantley are still at work upon the Secre-
tary Of War in the interest of better pro-
lection Of the Brunswick harbor. They
called upon the chief engineer this MORN
ing and urged that II the department has
no improved rife guns that can be used
at Brunswick. smooth-bore guns may be
utilized temporarily While there is no
disposition on the part OF Gen. Wilson 10
leave Brunswick unprotected, there seems
TO have been an oversight In the allotment
for armament al that point In view Of
the strong presentation Of the case by
Georgia Congressman and the intimation
that the matter might be subject for
Congressional inquiry, ample protection
will be given Brunswick without further
delay.
While at the department Representative
Brantley called upon Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt 10 suggest that certain repairs
be made 10 the monitor Passaic, now in
use of the Georgia naval militia at Bruns-
wick. The matter will be looked into at
once, and the necessary repairs win prob
ably be authorized.
