SHOT AND SHELL FOR ANSWER
New York, April pa dispatch to the
Z - .:..--


Herald from Washington says:
SPANS answer to President McKin-
ley's ultimatum may take the form of
shot and shell. Her formidable fleet,
which has been modifying at the Cape
Verde islands for some days past, sailed
on Wednesday from that point for an I'M
known destination. The fleet is composed
of the armOred cruisers Almirante
Oquendo, Critobal Colon, Infanta Maria
Teresa and Vizcaya; the torpedo boat
destroyers Furor, Terror and Pluton and
the torpedo boats Ariete, Azor and Rayo,
and perhaps the battleship Pelayo.
Information of the sailing of the fleet
has been received by the attaches of the
Spanish legation.
1T is conceded to be highly probable
that the fleet will hasten across the ocean
to Porto Rico and Cuba to prevent by
force the ousting from the islands of the
naval and military forces of the Spanish
government.
ION the other hand it is possible the
ships have gone to the Canary islands,

MEET Fl. RILEY TROOPS
Old Soldiers May Cheer Them
When They Go Through
on Friday.

It is possible that when the three bat
teries from Fort Riley pass through
Topeka on their way to New Orleans
and other eastern and southern points,
they will be rendered a sort of ovation
by the G. A r. posts.
P. r. Symmes, past commander of
Topeka post, said today:
IF we had only known about their
coming before our meeting Saturday,
we could have made the arrangements
to meet them and show them that the
old veterans can at least cheer them on
their way. I am not sure that the post
could be gotten together now, but 1
think an effort should be made We can
at least make the attempt
Among some of the members of the
G. A. r. posts, a desire has been man
ifested to meet the troops at the depot.
The stop will be short, but it will be
long enough for the veterans of the
civil war and patriotic citizens who are
not veterans, to show their interest.
Some of the different relief corps
might tender them a lunch, which would
be appreciated by the boys in blue.
One time during the Wounded Knee
and Drexel Mission outbreaks, the cit
liens of Manhattan met the troops as
they passed through and gave them a
lunch they never forgot, and those who
were at that luncheon have warm
word for Manhattan. Topeka can do the
same.
Capt Sanderson, who is in command
of one of the batteries, was here during
the Festival last fall, and has quite a
circle of friends here.
TSince the above was written it has
been learned that the Fort Riley troops
NAV move on Wednesday. The truth
will probably be known by tomorrow
