PRIVATEERING.

Foreign Powers Will Not Stand
Spain's Proposed Tactics.
Washington, April %. - There are
strong indications that if the Spanish
government persists in the present an
nounced policy of commissioning pri-
vateers to prey on commerce effective
Influences will be brought to bear on
her by several Of the great CONNER
cial powers, particularly Great Britain
and Germany, to stop the privateering
or to make it practically ineffective
and harmless. The action of the
United States in declaring that it
would not resort to privateering has
been received with great satisfaction
In the foreign embassies and legations
here. Negotiations along this line had
been pending here for some time and
are now shifted to Madrid, where the
British charge d'affaires is making
strong representations to Premier Sa-
gasta to prevent privateering. Whether
this will be conceded by Spain is
doubtful, as her chief reliance for pro-
tracing a war is through commission
ing privateers to harrass American
merchant ships, or neutral ships carry
ing American goods. 1t is understood
that the British government has not
determined upon it's final line Of ac-
ton, except that British merchant
ships shall be protected at any hazard,
even if British warships are called
upon to establish a protective patrol
across the Atlantic.

Preparations Vastly Stimulated
With the Actual BEGINNING Of
War.
Washington, April 23.-With the &C.
tual beginning of war, military and
naval preparations were vastly stim-
ulated yesterday. The navy bought a
ship and a number of yachts. It Sc
cured some more material for guns
and renewed orders for haste in the
construction Of guns. Orders were
sent to the squadron to guard their
movements and the preliminaries of a
blockade were executed. In the war
department all arrangements have
been made for a call for 100000 volun-
teers, to be chosen from the national
guard. The strategy board of the de-
partment looked over and perfected
the plans, and efforts We're begun to
provide for q subsystem of coast pa
troll by the state authorities. Move
ments of troops began day or two
ago were changed by the direction of
the department in some respects to
meet the conditions Of the moment at
Southern. posts, but in general there
was indications that the department
is acting with the purpose of concen-
trating no less than $4,000 men at the
gulf ports within the next ten days
ready for embarkment to Cuba.

CHANGE IN CABINET.

Postmaster General Gary IL Succeed
ed by Charlie. Emory Smith.
Washington, April q. - The presi-
dent has sent to the senate the nominal
ton of Charles Emory Smith Of Phil
adelphia as postmaster general, to
succeed Mr.. Gary, resigned.
Postmaster General Gary resigned
on account Of i'll health. The Pennsyl-
vania senators were consulted before
Mr.. Smiths appointment was made.
1t is stated at the White House that
Postmaster General Gary's resignation
had absolutely nothing whatever to do
with our present foreign complications.
1t was owing entirely, it is stated, to
the condition Of Mr.. Gary's health. He
has suffered great deal Of late from
a general breaking down Of the sys-
TEN which had continued to progress,
until finally Mr.. Gary reluctantly
reached the conclusion that he was I'M
able longer to carry the burden of his
office.
The nomination of Charles Emory
Smith to be postmaster general was
confirmed by the senate in executive
session without objection.

hour in advance of the hour at which
the train was scheduled to leave. But
the train started half an hour late,
and during the interval Mr.. Woodford

at the station, composed of all classes.
A strong force Of police and civic
guards maintained order, while amid
the crowd moved large number Of
private detectives. A detachment of
civic guards accompanied Gen. Wood
ford to the frontier. The retiring min
lister maintained his usual calmness
but looked worn and fatigued.

Key West, Fla, April %. - At II
o'clock yesterday noon the recall guns
doomed from the feet, ordering all the
officers and men who were ashore to
rejoin their ships forthwith. vt night
fall, however, there had been no
movement Of the fleet before to-day, as
the Cincinnati and the Marblehead
were ordered to the docks to take on
coal and water.
Warlike bulletins followed fast upon
each other, and in consequence intense
excitement prevailed all day. Rumors
that sailing orders had been received
We're afloat throughout the afternoon
but no official confirmation of them
could be obtained. The matter of fact
manner in which the highest officials
accepted the newspaper bulletins to
this effect indicated that authoritative
information, if not instructions, had
come from Washington, and the ac-
tivity on the ships and decks bore out
the reports of an early movement.

on shore and among the officers and

The officers who came ashore in the

The bicycle industry is one in which
there has been very marked develop
ment as the result of inventions made
within the last decade. In 1890 only
twenty-seven establishments were re-
ported as engaged in the manufacture
of bicycles. Five years later more than
200 establishments were engaged in the
manufacture. and the output of wheels
for 1895 was about 100000, increasing
in 1897 to over 100000 wheels. In
1880 large proportion of the bicycles
used were imported, mainly from Eng
land, but in 1897 the exports of cycles
and parts thereof to England alone
were valued at s2,12S,42 while the to-
tai exports were valued at $6,9O2,736.
