SPAIN WILL SUFFER.


3ngland's Proposal TO Declare Coal
Contrabana Suits Uncle Sam.
EaR York, April 90.-In directing
70 regard coal as contra
fbe event Of hostilities
betl Ated States and Spain,
Great has taken action, Ameri-
can I'D say, in line with the
wishes OF the president and naval au-
thorities, says the Washington CORE !.
spondent of the Herald. Pressure will
be exerted upon France, Hayti and
San Domingo to accomplish the came
result, and some attention is being
given by the state department. to South
American countries, with view of Sc
curing contraband character Of coal,
as we'll as an announced determination
on their part not to sell either to
Spanish or American men-of-war q
supply of fuel greater than necessary
to enable the belligerent vessels to
steam to the next home port.
So far as the Danish West Indies are
concerned, the authorities have pur-
chased, in their reports, all the coal
that is possible to secure. With coal
declared contraband of war, admins
tration officials and naval experts say
it will be impossible for Spanish ves-
sells to operate in the West Indies or
in the Pacific, and as result the
chances OF success for American arms
would be immeasurably enhanced.
Great Britian's declaration of the
contraband character OF coal will affect
the United States at only one. point in
the far East. The United States now
has at Hong Kong six vessels, the
cruisers Baltimore, Olympia, Raleigh,
and Boston and gunboats Concord and
Petrel-and these ships are awaiting
the word to rush to Manila.
II the Notifications of the Philip
pines should stand off the American
feet for any time, the operations Of tho
vessels would be greatly embarrassed,
for by England's declaration, her COL
onies will be only allowed to sell to
either belligerent a supply only suffi-
cient to take him to his home port.
Approaching the position assumed
by the British government, Com
mander Dewey, acting under instruc-
tions from Secretary Long, has pur.
chased large quantity Of coal and has
stored it ON board two GOLFERS, which,
will accompany his feet to the Philip
pines. Extended operations would me-
cessitate renewal of the supply, and
the central position of Hawaii is
pointed to by naval experts who want
it for a naval base. Hawaii is 1000
miles from the Philippines. Her posi-
tion in the family of nations would
compel her to observe strict neutrality.
and not favor one belligersnt more
than another, but her annexation. it is
pointed out, would result in placing
supplies for the Asiatic squadron g.
900 miles nearer to the vessels than
would be the case if coal, munitions of
war, etc., had to ba shipped from the
United States. 1t is also pointed out
that Hawaii will find it necessary to
sell coal to Spanish vessel in at Hon.
olulu sufficient to take it portion OF
the way to its next home port, just as
SHE would sell to any American ship.
In the event that coal is declared
contraband by France, San Domingo
and Hayti, authorities say it would be
impossible for Spanish vessels to secure
coal in the West Indies.

No More Foreign warships.

Washington. April 30. = It was
stated at the navy department that

wards.

Plan of Operation.

The fact that the resolution was not
Immediately signed gave rise to few
disquieting reports, but it soon APP
peared from statements of cabinet Off
GERS that the president had not the
slightest intention Of withholding his
signature, and that the delay In attach
ing it was accounted for solely by his
desire to prepare full and complete
plan of operation in the immediate
future, before taking the final step of
turning the joint resolution into a
statute.
As to the course of events in the i'm
mediate future, the only prediction
that can be made is one based on prec-
edents. According to these, Minister
Woodford will notify the Spanish gov
eminent of the action Of the govern
ment of the United States, and should
the Spanish answer be unsatisfactory,
as is expected, the next step would be
for him to ask for his passports and
leave Madrid. That would be followed
instantly by the withdrawal from
Washington of Senior Polo, the Spanish
minister.
At this point it can be said that the
state department officials are confident
that the Spanish government will SO
shape every phase of the negotiations
as to oblige us to take the initiative at
every point.
AAfter the withdrawal OF the min
listers. and Assuming that Spain does
not back down, will follow actual war,
but whether or not the first overt act
would be preceded by formal declara-
ton of war, which would insure the
immediate naturalization of the powers,
or whether the North Atlantic squadron
will make it's appearance OF Havana as
q beginning, cannot be predicted.

Senior POlO's Letter.

At 1890 O'Clock the minister re.
ceived from the state department a
copy of the ultimatum, and immedi-
ately demanded his passports in the
following letter:
Legation de Espanole, Washing
ton. D. c., April 90, 1898.-Mr. Sec
retary: The resolution adopted by the
congress of America and approved to-
day by the president is of such nature
that my permanence in Washington
becomes impossible and obliges me to
request of you the delivery of my pass
ports. The protection of the Spanish
interests will be intrusted to the French
AMBASSADOR and the Austro Hungarian
minister.
ION this occasion, very painful to
me, have the honor to convey to you
the assurance of my highest considera-
ton.
"LUIS POLO Y BERNABE.
'tHon. John Sherman. Secretary Of
State of the United States Of Ameri-
ca, }" etc., etc.
The passports reached the minister
at P. M. They were accompanied by
letter from Secretary Sherman, in
which the secretary expressed his re-
greet that the minister had felt called
upon to take this step.
The Spanish legation is now closed.
An attendant remains there simply to
clear up the effects of hasty departure.
The Cuban colonial delegation also
terminated its relations at Washington
this afternoon.

GOODBYE. POLO.


From Washington.
Washington, April 22.-The Span
ish minister, accompanied by six mem
bers of his staff, left Washington at
7:30 O'Clock tonight, and the Spanish
government thus terminated it's diplo-
matte representation in the United
States. The minister and his party
left by the Pennsylvania road, going
northward to Buffalo and Suspension
Bridge, and thence to Toronto. From
there they will go to Halifax to take an
ocean steamer.
The departure of the Spanish party
was made without noticeable demon
stration, although a considerable num-
Der of secret service officers and police
were on duty at the depot. There was
no time at any occasion for their doing
more than keeping back a crowd of
curious onlookers.
Lieutenant Carantha's Statement.
Lieutenant de Carantha asked press
reporter to make known the lieuten-
ants view on the war.
1T is no longer question of retain
ing Cuba, said Lieutenant de Caran-
tina. THAT was merely a question of
territory. Now higher purpose is in
view-the honor and dignity of Spain
since the United States has con-
temptuously ordered Spain to vacate
Cuba, and has made the infamous
charge that we are responsible for the
murder of the poor men of the Maine.
These orders and charges are made
with kick of the boot, and against
such action, Spain will resist to the
uttermost. There should be no mis-
take about this. History has recorded
that even the legions of Napoleon, with
400, 900 men, bearing the triumphs Of
all Europe, were halted and retired
from Spain, after those legions had
lost between 900, 900 and 800, 900 men.
"We realize the gallantry of the
American navy, and the noble heroes
of it's past-Paul Jones, Farragut, Por-
ter-but Spain, too, has her heroes and
their blood is in the vein Of those
called upon to defend her honor. /
have recently talked with my naval as
sociates, commanders of Spanish shi ps
and of torpedo-boats, and l know that
there is but one sentiment; namely,
that not one Spanish ship shall be
taken. Your navy may send many of
them to the bottom; superior forces
may seek to annihilate them, but not
one Spanish ship will surrender to the
American navy. With honor at stake,
that will be the response of the navy
of Spain"
Lieutenant de Carantha spoke with
great earnestness, and his statement
was taken in note and authorized. The
departure of the Spanish party brought
to close most eventful day at the
Spanish legation.

Washington, April 22.-The house
today passed, as an emergency war
measure, the bill empowering the presi-
dent to call out the volunteer forces
and providing for their organization.
Both the president and Secretary Alger
had urged the imperative necessity for
the passing of the bill today, and Chair
man Hull, of the military affairs COM
mittee, drove it under whip and spur.
The bill was drafted at the war depart
ment, introduced in the house yester-
day and considered and reported by the
committee today. No such expedition
could have been possible except under
the stress of war pressure. The bill is
permanent in it's character. The prin-
cipal change in the bill, as introduced,
was that the appointment of all regi-
mental officers are to be made by the
governors of the states instead OF by the
president, as was proposed originally
by the war department.. This con-
forms to the practices Of the civil war.
