SPANISH PRESS COMMENT.
Senate Observation-Disclosures of Pop
ular Feeling, Etc.

Madrid, April lei Liberal (Moder-
ator) welcomes the senate's decision
although it is more hostile since il
happens to disentangle the situation
which is becoming lnsupportable to the
Spaniards, as shown by the outburSt al
Malaga and elsewhere.
Ell Liberal expresses the hope tina;
the mixed commission will come to a
decision quickly, enabling Spain 10
know definitely her fate.
The journals which comment on the
senate's resolutions consider them as
further proof of Americas scheme of
annexation, and point out that it comes
on the very day on which the Havana
delegates proposed the starting to con-
fer with the insurgents.
Government circles feel that the reso-
lutions are fresh obstacles raised to the
union of the insurgents and the auton-
omists in Cuba.
The ministerial FL Correo, comment
ing upon the United States senate re-
solution, calls attention to the ''unex-
pectedly large minority" 1t believes
the existence of the minority, joined
with other reasons, may lead the mixed
committee to agree to replace the indie
pendence proposition with one for i'm
mediate Intervention. Even presuming
the final resolution passed in that
formed judges believe that President
Mckinley would not give immediate
effect, preferring further negotiations.
Nevertheless, the optimistic views do
not warrant the statement that the
problem is greatly ameliorated. If the
two houses of congress vote COM
promise tomorrow or Tuesday, Presi-
dent McKinley's action will soon clear
the atmosphere"
The Epoca Conservative, referring
to the outbreaks of popular feeling il
the provincial towns, counsels the gov
eminent to deal gently with the rioters,
considering the provocation received
from the American public and parlia-
ment, and even from the president, and
urges the Spanish nation to continue
in its dgnified attitude, standing
shoulder TO shoulder in defense of the
nations rights.
The Epoca says that only students
took part in the demonstration at Bar
celona, but that the revolutionary ele-
ment was at the bottom Of the out
break in Malaga, seeking to precipitate
a quarrel with America.
The Official Gazette will shortly pub
lish the report of the Spanish commits
sion of inquiry into the Maine disaster,
that the explosion was
of internal origin.

THE TEXAS RANGERS.
A Body of Men Who Would Be In.
vincible In War.

The Texas rangers believe they could
settle this little controversy with Spain
without any aid from the rest of the
country, and. really. in the event of
war and the invasion of Cuba. Uncle
Sam could get together no more for
midable body of men than the sun
brown, danger tried heroes of the
southwest. Few people outside. of
Texas know that there is such a thing
as an organized body of rangers in ex-
istence today. They are in the service
of the state government, amenable TO
call by Adjutant General Mabry, and
under direct control of Governor Gull
berson. Their wages with the excep-
ton of the Offices, average $40 per
month. They furnish their own horses
ard arms. 1t is probable that there
are not more than 1000 active rangers
in Texas today. Only a small fraction
of these are in the states employ. The
remainder do service for ranch owners
and stockmen. But one bugle blast
from the national capital could as
semble in twinkling 10000 armed men
who would truthfully term themselves
Texas Rangers" The imme nse ranches
of the Panhandle. the limitless pasture
lands on the Rio Grande and the
ranges of west central Texas would

KEY WEST LOOKS WARLIKE.
With Colored Troops On Land and
Big War Ships Outside.

Key West, April 1.-THE arrival of
contpanies A and G of the Twenty-fffth
infantry late last night reused Key
west from tropical lethargy, and this
Sunday has been marked by a stir un =
Monted here, even in these exciting
times.
The feet in the harbor and the mill
tary on land give this lazy little town
a warIike aspect, which sits strangely
on it.. The colored troops, 125 in num-
Der, were obliged 10 remain on board
the City of Key West all night, because
of lack of accommodations at the bar
racks, already given over to two bat
feries Of artillery. 1t was eventually
decided to quarter them in old Fort
Taylor, and this morning they formed
in double file and marched there-a
stalwart body of men-many Of whom
have seen war service in Indian cam
paigns. and most of whom rank as
sharpshooters.
Some of the local papers have been
protesting against having colored men
sent here, and there had been a slight
fear of an unfavorable demonstration.
So far from anything of the kind
happening, the colored troops were
greeted with only words of praise.
Throughout the day wagons have been
going between the wharf and the forts
transferring the baggage of the new
corners.
There was no movement of the fleet
today. Chaplain Chadwick celebrated
mass on the Cincinnati this morning
and tonight preached in the Catholic
church. The Nashville took the patrol
tonight.

Movement of Troops Will Not Begin
Until Tuesday.

st. Paul, April 17.-At the headquar-
tiers of the department Of Dakota it
was stated today that the eight COM
panies of the Third regiment of in

THIRTY MILLION IN GOLD.
Estimates of the Product of the Klon-
dixie This Year.

Detroit, Mich, April 17.-Stanley w.
Turner of the government Alaskan re-
lief expedition, who has just returned
to this city, said today that when the
expedition arrived at Dyea they found
two-thirds of the population gone else
where, and, accordingly, that the ex-
petition dsbanded turning over the
supplies to the army post there. He
said: Il expect the world will be sur
prised when it knows the amount of
gold that will be brought out of the
Klondike this year. In my opinion, the
first and second shipments that will
come away from around st. Michaels
will aggregate from 100000 to $780,
600 000''
Mr. Turner believes the government
appropriation &C 100000 for relieving
the Klondike miners has hardly been
warranted by the results accomplished,
as relief so far has been extended to no
one in Alaska

FEEDING AN ARMY.
It Can Be Done Without Disturbing
Prices of Products.


Chicago. April 1s-A special to the
Chronicle from Washington says:
THE American soldiers in the field
live in fine style, and the experts de-
clare that an army of 200, 600 men can be
supplied from domestic sources without
mountaineering anybody or causing
the price of food products to rise.
Orders have been sent out by Com
missary General Gushing for the pur-
chase of supplies and the shipment of
the material to Chickamauga, Mobile,
Tampa and New Orleans. These pur-
chases viii be made at st. Louis, New
York City, Omaha, Chicago, Kansas
City and New Orleans. General Cush-
ing says the domestic sources of sup
ply are so abundant and reliable that
unless there should be occasion to put
something like 100000 men in the field,
there need be no occasion for an in
crease in cost OF subsistence or any
like effect upon the food supplies of the
country.
The cost of transportation win be
less where the army is concentrated
than where it is distributed all over
the country. The field rations, which
will be made up and shipped to the
modified troops in the south, consists
of these articles, the net weight of
each 1000 rations being as follows: Ba-
con, $50 pounds; hard bread, 1000
pounds; baked beans, $50 pounds; po
tatoes, 1000 pounds: coffee (roasted), so
pounds; sugar, $50 pounds; vinegar, so
pounds; candles, Is pounds; soap, 40
pounds; salt, 40 pounds; black pepper,
21a pounds, a total of 3,307.5 pounds
net, or 1858 pounds gross.
1t is estimated that it will take $4,000
pounds of the field rations for each
regiment. These rations will be aug
mented later on by purchases in the
various localities by officers who are
authorized to by delicacies of the sea-
son.
The emergency rations will not be
furnished to the soldiers, even while in
Cuba, except on occasions arising in
active operations, when the use of the
regularly established ration is imprac-

Senior Polo Chartered a Steamer to
Take Them to Havana.

Washington, April 1.-THE Spanish min
lister, Senior Polo. today closed a charter
for an American steamer of the Plant line.
which will carry practically the entire
Spanish colony of Tampa, Fla. to Havana
tomorrow. In making the charter. the
minister gave assurances that in case of
hostillties the steamer would be cleared
from Havana. given ample protection and
allowed to return to an American port.
Inc Spanish party will number 4eS, most
of them being young men who have Of
fered their services in the Spanish army
IN case OF war. Some women and children
are included. as they are part of the
colony making the move. and it is said
also that the hostility to Spanish residents
in that locality has become marked of
late. The consul and vice consul with
two assistants, viii remain at TAMPA.
This is the point at which seven reei-
ments of infantry have been ordered to
mobilize within the next few days al
though there is no intimation that the de-
parture of the Spanish colony is due to
the concentration of United States troops
at Tampa.

goes far to prove the inventive genius
of the Greeks and Romans, since even
at that early date augurs and gimlets
had come into use.

Noted Baseball Pitcher Uneaqualled
In One Respect.

Philadelphia, April IA private tele-
gram received here today announces the
death, in an institution near Baltimore, of
Bobby Matthews. the great baseball
pitcher.
Matthews was about 40 years of age
and retired from the professional ball
field in about 1890, after fully 20 years
service in the profession. No other ball
pitcher ever held himself in the first class
for scarcely more than half that length
OF time. Matthews started in a profess
slonal way, back in the 70s. with the
Kekiangas of Fort Wayne. Ind. and in
subsequent years played with the Lord
BaltimoreS, Boston. Mutuals of New
York and Athletics of Philadelphia and
other clubs. He was attacked with
paresiS about two years ago and has
since been in a Baltimore institution for
treatment.

INTERVENTION IMPROBABLE.
Sage Remark That Powers Have
Troubles Enough Elsewhere.

4IouDleS- Enough Elsewhere.
Washington, April 17.-At the en-
bassies and legations representing the
six great powers of Europe the unusual
activity of the last three weeks was
noticeably relaxed, as it has now come
to be accepted in these quarters that
there will be no action, certainly none
OF radical character, toward media
ton or Intervention between Spain and
the United States. While the recent
exchange of notes was in progress
some of the embassy offices here were
open nightly until q. m. receiving
and sending cipher dispatches in con-
nection with the efforts of the powers
to get together. This proved unavail-
ing, however, and, as one of the best
posted members of the diplomatic corps
stated tonight, THE powers have too
many troubles of their own to permit
them to reach concert in this affair"
The Austrian minister gave a diplo-
matte dinner tonight, the British and
French ambassadors, the Russian
charge and the Spanish minister being
among the guests. Although the DOW
ers We're we'll represented, the gather
ing was purely of a social character.
