RENEWAL OF ACTIVITY.

Washington. April 14.-In the war and
navy departments everything tends To
indicate the general belief that hostili-
ties with Spain will not be postponed
many days. Probably the most signif-
cant action at the navy department is
the purchase OF the ocean greyhounds,
st. Paul and St. Louis OF the American
line. The amount paid for them is
known to be about s5.000.oo0. The st.
Paul left Southampton on the 9Th In
=stant and Is due in New York on the 10TH
The ST. Louis is at the English port.
and the date of her return Is not stated.
The Will be sent to the yard where they
were constructed TO be fitted out as
auxiliary cruisers. With rush work the
vessels will be in readiness for service
In about 80 days. Captain Sigsbee Of
the Maine, and Captain Goodrich. presi-
dent OF the naval war college. have been
practically agreed upon by the navy de-
partment as the two officers TO take COM
mand OF the ST. Louis aud st. Paul.

RESOLVED TO REPEL.

London. April 14.--The Madrid corre-
spondent of The Daily Mail says: Lieu
tenant General Correa, minister of war,
and Count Xiquena, minister OF pub
lie works, both told me this afternoon
that the government was firmly reserved
to repel every attack, direct or indirect,
on the sovereignty OF Spain in Cuba.
They said also that they were sure this
line of conduct on the part OF Spain
would certainly be supported by the
European powers. more especially be-
cause the negotiations were based on an
acknowledgment Of Spanish sovereignty
in Cuba.
They told me that the conduct OF
Spain would be adjusted TO that OF the
United States, and that in face of the
fact OF the continuance of military and
naval preparations I'm the United States
Spain was fully justified In carrying out
her preparations.

The war department has everything in
readiness for a prompt movement OF

nothing Is likely to be done in the way
OF moving any large body Of troops

that their services will be needed Com
plete arrangements have been made for
the Immediate mobilization OF practi-
cally the entire military force OF the
government at the Chickamauga ma
tional park at the first signs of trouble.
IL is expected that in case of necessity
a call will be made for ssSout 10000 troops,
preferably from the national guard of
the different states and territories. II
the war policy contemplates the inva-
sion Of Cuba, the army may be increased
to 100000 men. OF this the regular
troops and the national guardsmen win
aggregate about $4,000 men. and the re-
mainder will be made up of volunteers.

COMMITTEE REPORT.

Grounds on Which American Interven-
tion In Cuba Are Justified.
Washington, April 14.-"So clearly is
the destruction of the Maine only
single incident In the relations of this
government with SPAIN that IL that
calamity had never happened the ques-
tions between the United States and
that government would press for i'm
mediate solution" This Is one of the
opening paragraphs In the report Of the
senate committee on foreign affairs,
which reaches the conclusion that "the
destruction of the Maine was compassed
either by the official act OF the Spanish
authorities. or was made possible by
negligence on their part so willing and
gross as to be equivalent in culpability
to positive criminal action" The COM
mittee says that the explosion itself OF
the Maine was linked with series OF
precedent transactions which cannot
II reason be disconnected from it,
1t is not contended that-the duty of
protection to which the public ship is
entitled while allowed TO remain in a
port OF a friendly nation imposes the
obligation OF an absolute guaranty OF her
safety. but II is insisted that tho exist
ence of the duty creates the obligation
to use due diligence in It's performances
when property and life are destroyed
by an act which the exercise Of due dill
gence by the person whose duty IL is to
use 1t could have prevented, the hap
pening Of such an event is sufficient proof
that such diligence was not employed"
Upon due consideration of all OF the

government with Spain, including the
destruction of the Maine and the his
tory OF the rebellion. IL Is the opinion
OF the committee that the United States
ought at once TO recognize the indepen-
dence OF the people OF Cuba, and also
ought to intervene to the end that the
war and it's unexampled atrocities shall
cease. and that such Independence shall
become a settled political fact at the

SPAIN WILL SUE FOR PEACE.
Should She Suffer Another Reverse
Like That at Manila.

LONDON, May 4.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Daily Telegraph
says:
Those who are best informed as to
the Governments view alIege that if
the Spanish arms suffer another re-
verse like that at Cavite the Govern
ment would informally request the
great Powers to lend their service to
arrange the best possible terms of
peace.
Il am now assured that the Govern
ment would be content to cede Cuba to
the United States, but would not pay
indemnity, because unable Well-in-
formed politicians here regard the war
as practically terminated, and that to-
ward the end of May it will become
history. What will follow, however, it
is difficult to foresee. All the elements
of a long civil war in Spain are un-
fortunately becoming visible. The Gov
ernment and the Liberal party are pop
ularly hated as being responsible for
the war. The Republicans possess no
durable chance of success. The Con-
servatives and Carlists are the real
authorities of the future, and some of
the Conservative groups are gravi-
tating toward Carlism. The economic
question, however, will come to the
front first, for hunger cannot wait"

times excellent political capital. Sooner
or later they would have embroiled the

ton whether the Maine incident had
happened or not.
Nov that we have engaged in war,

made short, sharp and decisive. Not

so cemented during the present crisis,
will result in something more than
mere understanding between the two

glorious alliance-that of the two
greatest Anglo Saxon nations standing
