parcl, the coats usually having AL the

Spain is also negotiating for and wi
probably secure two cruisers of similar
type, which have been building in
France for Brazil The Amezonas is
ready for launching and her sister ship
will be ready shortly.
The Spanish government is also endea-
voring to secure guns and large supplies
of ammunition in England and on the
continent for immediate use.
The government of Spain seems to
have funds, for it is understood to he
paying large part Of the purchase money
in cash, giving good security for the
balance, these being the only terms upon
which the Armstrong; would deal with
them.
