MADRID, April 11.-El Hersldo de
Madrid publishes an interview with
Admiral Berapger, former Minister
OF Marine, in the course OF which be
expressed his confidence in the
ability OF the Spanish navy to win
in the event Of war with the United
States.
"There is no fear" said Admiral
Beranger, "of our Cuban ports being
exposed to night attack, inasmuch
as Havana, Cienfuegos, Nuevitas,
and Santiago de Cuba are defended
by electric and automatic torpedoes
with a large radius of action.
"The late Senior Canovas del Cas-
tile, who paid attention to these
matters, decided in accord with my
self to send to Cuba 100 torpedoes
which must have been placed in
those harbors. Chacon, the we'll
known torpedo expert, undertook
to convey and place the engines.
81 have already said that by sea
we shall be victorious. will give
you my reasons. The first is the
excellent discipline maintained on
our warships; the second is that on
board the American vessels, as soon
as firing is opened, panic will set
in; since it is common knowledge
that their crews comprise men of
every nationality. Pitted ship
against ship, then, we have nothing
to fear"

The impression prevails that the

establish a relation similar to that
existing between Austria and Hun
gary, the main bond between the
island and the mother country being
allegiance to the same sovereign.

as a result a vast amount Of coal is be-

the number of vessels engaged in car

piliy feel sure that the work VIII be
faithfully done
Among the most important improve
ments to be made for the especial benefit
of the patrons of the fair is 4 row Of pri-
Vate boxes to be built connected to ANA
extending the entire length of the grand
stand. These boxes are to be built in the
place Of the old platform which is now in
front of that structure and which has al
ways afforded such an excellent opportu-
nifty for someone To get in someone else $
way. These boxes will he sold At auction
to the highest bidder just previous to the
holding Of the fair. 1t is the purpose of
the trustees at this writing to make these
boxes with six chairs each and rent them
for the entire week of the fair. Many
other important changes will he made.
The eating houses along the line of the
track will be removed to A less conspcu-
Gus location Many of the cattle sheds
will be taken down and new and modern
barns will be built. The lookup will be
moved to d remote corner of the grounds.
Much grading will be done. streets turn

the trustees. WhiteWash. paint and new

The society's fully re-arrdnged premium

patrons of the fair can see for themselves
that spirit of progress prevails all along
the line.
The Pathological Society will not cx-
hibit with the Agricultural Society this
year, but the old society will offer
premiums along the lines usually con-
Quoted by the Pathological Society and
the same rules and regulations will
govern.
AS time moves on apace, those who pro-
pose to patronize the race department of
the State Fair should remember that the
entries to the stake races will close the
18th of this month. The liberal purses
and easy terms should draw together

who have not received entry blanks
should write Secretary G.. II. Clarke at
