 Proposed Armistlca.
 The proposed armistice by Spain in- jected another feature into the discus sion and while some were very hopeful that a very satisfactory result might eventuate from it, the feeling was that the conditions in Cuba, the determina ton of the insurgents to continue until their independence was recognized and the sentiment of this country in favor of Cuba's independence, Spain possibly made overtures on this line too late.

LOOKING FOR A CoALING STATION.
Uncle sam Figuring on Getting One in the
West Indies.

washington, March 22.-Serious at
tentlon is being given by the navy de-
partment officials to the question OF
acquisition of suitable location for
n coaling station somewhere in the
West indies. Steps have already been
taken to establish such Il station at the
Dry Tortugas. but this, 1t Is said,is the
only deep water harbor available for
big war vessels between Hampton
Roads and the Rio Grande. Besides,
1t is practically unprotected at pres
ent, and fleet would have to be sta
toned there to protect the coal stores,
which is unsatisfactory. The officials
therefore, have been casting about for
a location which would serve the pur-
pose of n coallng station and which
the United States might acquire either
with purchase or cession from one
of the friendly governments. There are
a number of fine harbors among the
West Indies. said naval officer today,
and in one of them we ought to have
a coaling station.
Secretary Long is considering the
matter, and 1t is probable that II the
government can make the necessary
ARRANGEMENTS n station Will be secured.
The Importance of securing this the
officials point out is very great, as in
the event of hostilities our ships might
he put to very great Inconvenience and
delay in filling their bunkers, when
their presence might be needed to pro-
tect critical points.

The Strength Of the Anti-Civil Service
Movement

Washington, January 15.-The cam
vas of republican members of the house
of representatives on the question of
changing the civil service law, which
has been conducted by the Republican
STEERING committee is absut conplet-
ed. OF the 202 republican members of
the house the. canvass is said to show
that a ma ajority varying from eighteen
to forty is favorable to change in the
law, according to the degree of change
proposed. This last factor leads to
some difference of opinion as to the re-
suit of the canvass. Representative
Pearson. of North Carolina, a member
of the committee, places the number of
republican who can be pepended on at
u.s. Mr. Evans, of Kentucky, another
member of the committee, places the
number at 135. Both estimates are
based ON canvass, the difference being
due to the attitude of certain doubt
full members. AS a whole, the result
gives satisfaction to those who have
made the canvass. They say that in a
number of cases entire state delega-
tions are shown by the canvass to
favor a change in the law. This is the
case in the state delegations of North
Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, West
Virginia and New Hampshire. Beyond
completing the canvass, the opposition
TO the civil service law is taking no
active steps for the present. the pur-
pose being to wait until the regular
civil service committee of the house
takes action on the bill before it pro-
poses a modification OF the law.
