PEIvATEERtNG THREATENED.
said That Spain VIII Conduct Guerilla
Warfare.

London, April 14.-There is great in
terest here in government and commercial
circles over the possibility of prlvateering
in the event of war between the United
States and Spain. Several applications
for letters of narque have been made at
the Spanish EN- busy and at the office OF
the Spanish naval commission, but there
were no applications at the United States
embassy. 1t is generally recognized that
Spain intends to make privateerlng a
conspicuous clement Of the campaign. IL
is thought, however. that she will confine
her energies in this direction to preying
upon Ameri ian coastwise commerce. 1t
is not believed she will risk offending
European powers by stopping their
American bound vessels: or by Selling
trans Atlantic ships for American goods,
for il European ships are molested the
powers will probably adopt radical pre-
ventative measures.
The prevalent opinion that the United
States will not embark in priyateering
produces an excellent impression.
At the admiralty here, 1t is suggested
tn It the Spanish naval scheme will not
be to pit fleet against the American
wsrships, but to scatter Spain's war yes
sells about the coasts and indulge in.
guerilla warfare, sweeping down upon
coast towns and retreating before they
are overtnken. 1t is deemed certain that
this will be Spain S policy if she abandons
the hope of retaining Cuba, and merely
pursues war OF revenge. Many mer-
chant vessels are being offered at the
United States embassies on the continent
but no negotiations are proceeding and it
is said at the embassy here that the
United States government has no need of
any more ships.

THE PRESIDENTS POWERS.

Washington, April 14.-Major General
Miles, commanding the army, said today
tnat considerable misrepresentation exists
in regard to the raising of troops in the
event of war. He thought the people
should understand the situation more
thoroughly than appears to DO the case at
present.
Sin the event Of the passage of the reso-
luton reported by the Senate foreign re-
lations committee, - said General Miles,
"the President would have authority to
call into service, militia to the number of
about IL, 600 men. The third section
of the resolution directs and empowers
the President to use the entire land and
naval forces of the United States and to
call into the actual service of the United
States the militia OF the several states, to
such extent as may be necessary 10 carry
these resolutions into effect. -

Study of the testimony before the Board
of Inquiry and the condition of the
wreckage by experts only goes to su bstan-
tiate the decision of that tribunal that
the Maine was blown up by a submarine
mine. The Scientific American after
studying the case from purely scientific
standpoint comes to the conclusion that
the explosion was not only due to an ex-
ternal agent, but that ''the scale on which
the scheme Of destruction was carried out
Neas too elaborate for execution by private
individuals. Prof. Thurston, the direc.
tor of Cornell University's Sibley college,
after studying all the evidence bearing
on the case declares that the proof of
primary exterior explosion is positive
and absolute that the agent must have
been 2 mine, that such a mine could only
have been set by military Or naval OK
perts, and that it could have been fred
only by mon officially connected with,
but not authorized by, the Spanish gov

States is in possession of Havana direct
evidence may be obtained that will fully
explain the disaster, and perhaps fix the

Later the body after being re- turned to Bridgeport was identified as Miss Emma Glll of Southlngton, and Harry Oxley of the same place has been arrested on the charge of an alleged at tempt to procure abortion. The crime Is supposed to have been committed by and at the home of Dr. Nancy Guilford Of Bridgeport, who the police arrested In London Tuesday. Walter c.
