TO MEET THE ENEMY.
Cervera's Reported Message to Mad
rid-Manila Expedition Again.

New York, May ga dispatch to the
World from Cadiz says:
1t is stated here very positively that
the PelayO, Carlos V. three of the trans
Atlantic steamers and two torpedo
boats are about to sail for the Philip
pines.
The PeIayo is well armed, armored
and manned. The Carlos V. is well ar
mored and manned and has good guns,
but her heavy ones forward will not
swing, owing to defects in the machin-
cry and can only be fired directly ahead.
The captains of these boats are good
men and experienced, but Admiral
Camara is regarded by naval men as
difficult to work with, giving orders and
cOntradicting them almost in the same
breath. He is from Malaga.
1t is said there were three mines in Ma
Mia harbor that were not exploded
when the American fleet entered, the
electric communication being out Of or
der. This has, so it is reported, now
been rectified, and preparations are
complete to give Admiral Dewey a
warm goodbye, should he attempt to
leave. This rumor will bear big
lump of salt.
1t is reported that the Spanish fleet
left ST. Vincent without instructions
from the government at Madrid and
that Admiral Cervera wired: The state
of my country compels me to go to meet
the enemy
The captains of the Vizcaya, Almiran-
tie OQuendO and the Maria Teresa are
excellent commanders. These ships
are all in good shape and power
full being heavily armored and well
handled. The Cristobal Colon has no
heavy guns and, therefore. is not
formidable, but all four of them are of
1000 tons each and can steam 20 to 81
knots. They are the ships our navy
has most to fear.
The Spanish are preparing the two
steamers Normannia and Columbia,
now the Rapido and Partia, to take on
heavy guns. If they strengthen the
ships properly the work will require
several months.
The cruiser Alfonso XIII. will remain
at Cadiz as a guardShip, but as her
boilers are insufficient, she cannot
steam more than six or seven knots and
therefore is not of much use.
1t is certain there are at least fifty
mines laid in the bay of Cadiz.

ALBANY, N. Y.ds March S1.-Goyernor
Black has sent to the legislature an emer-
gency message advising an immediate ap-
preparation of $1,Q000e0 as a contingent
war fund. Governor Blacks message says.
Events are now transporting Of SO grave
and general import that the attention of
every enlightened people is fixed upon our
own. The crisis which our national gov
eminent now meets involves those deep
considerations which affect the future Of
the race. To aid that government by APP
rroval and support, to sustain its hand
when raised for justice and fair play, is
ths duty Of every state. No hour has ever
been SO full Of peril that New York has
faltered while it passed. Because Of her
PAST history and her present greatness, she
should be the first to understand the mean
ing Of today.
After long reflection and with an earn
est desire to do that which ought to be
cone. and to refrain from that which ought
not to be dons, I recommend that before
you adjourn you take such action as your
wisdom shall decide upon to provide
against such urgent needs as the future
may disclose. I hope the day Is still re-
mote which shall consume the means you
set apart. But IL the time should come
can no longer stay together, there can be
but one answer to the duty thus arising.

ward any other people, but In the deliber-
ate purpose to defend your own, and as
sign of hope TO the struggling and dis

preparation is as fragils as dream, so act
that the enlightened sentiment OF the
world will justify you"
Immediately on receipt Of the message

introduced, placed on its passage without
objection and passed unanimously
In the senate the rec ding of the message
was followed Immediately by the reporting
