SPAIN IS BROKE.

Minister Woodford Said to Have Cabled
the President to That Effect.
New YORK, March l0.-A cablegram
just received from Minister Woodford
has been laid before the cabinet by the
president, says The Worlds Washing.
ton correspondent, declares that Spain
had exhausted every means of raising
money for the prosecution of a war,
without success. All the financial cen.
tiers of Europe have rejected her over
lures. General Woodford pronounces
it an utter impossibility for Spain to
secure funds with which to engage in
hostilities against the United States.
In reference to the political conditions
which impelled the ministry to suggest
the recaa of General Lee, Minister
Woodford said that Sagasta was
friendly to the United States and would
make every possible concession to pre-
serve peace.
The future danger, says General
Woodford, lies with the people. With
a hostile majority now in the Cortes,
and the probability that this will be
continued at the forthcoming elections,
the overthrow of the Sagasta ministry
is not unlikely. The succeeding minis
try would be pledged to war in order
to avoid revolution.
1.-THE Sagasta ministry retains power,
General Woodford believes that Spain
would endure humiliation rather than
declare war against the United States.

ArmOred Cruiser Brooklyn Ordered Home
From LA Guayra.
WASHINGTON, March 1O-Tho big
armored cruiser Brooklyn has started
away from La Guayra under orders
from the navy department., directly for
Hampton Roads. She has been making
a flying cruise in the West Indies and
around the eastern end of Cuba, and it
was the original intention to have her
go to Colon on the isthmus and thence
to go northward along the eastern
coast of Central America.
The sending of the ship to Hampton
Roads instead of returning her to Kew
West, whence she came. is taken as an
evidence of a change in policy on the
part OF the naval strateglsts. who have
come to the conclusion that the gather.
ing of the most and best of the vessels
of the North Atlantic squadron at Key
West is putting too many of our eggs
in one basket and unduly exposing the
Eastern coast.
There has also been talk of organic
ing flying squadron TO go to sea at
moments notice in pursuit of an enc
my's ships. This, however, has not
been decided upon.

The contingent will will be drafted

the ice breaks up in the rivers. Major

PAPERS ARE PESSIMISTIC.

Financial Condition of Spain Is Admitted
to BE Very Bad.
NEW YORK, March 1O.-A dispatch
to The World from Madrid says: The
whole Madrid press comments gloomily
on Spanish finances. Many, including
the friends OF the cabinet, attribute it
less to unfavorable rumors as to the re.
lations of Spain with the United States
than to the efforts of native and foreign
spectators, who are ever on the alert
to take advantage of any circumstance
to depress Spanish securities.
The tone of most of the. papers is,
however, pessimistic, as even so minis.
terial an organ as El Liberal, concludes
long article on the situation as fol.
lows:
Undoubtedly our relations with the
United States have been adjusted for
the time being TO the strict dictates of
prudence, but does the government
really believe that this nation will be
aOle, without suffering irreparable
damage, to bear for even few months
more this anxious INDIGESTION, this en-
nervating uncertainty?
