Proposed Invasion Of Cuba.

as to the purposes OF the
war department is considerably more
confusing than that as TO the wherea-
bouts and movements of the fleets. Pre-
sumably for at least thirty days the war
department. has had a general outline OF

sunaoiy IL mas not changed its mind ey-

Deen working consistently to that end.
TIE details Of its plan, especially az 10
the time when troops will be embarked
Tor the descent on Cuba, will not be
known until the sailing day comes. But
everybody will hope that those gues-es
which have alleged an early start are cor
rect rather than those which ~. de-
ferred the invasion until fall.
II is now almost a month since the
blockade of Cuban ports began. Either
that blockade has been absolutely impo-
tent or there must by this time pc an &C

coast towns at least. Havana and Ma
tanzas would proba bly, feel the pinch OF
other places on the island. And IL "a az
these two points that a large number OF
Weyler's reconcentradoes are gathered.
The condition of these people. who were
starving a month ago when the ports
were open and the United States was
sending in supplies. must by this tim.
be simply horrible. It was for their re-

motives for precipitating war. Our ova

A Fight in Democratic judicial
Convention.
Especial to The Messenger.)

Raleigh, N. c., May 25.-The demo-
cratic judicial convention of this dis
trict was held tonight. Five Wake
county delegates-W. c. Douglas, B. c..
Beckwith, H. Norris. E. P. Maynard
and j. H. Fleming-filed a protest that
the convention was irregularly called.
This caused a lively scene. 1t was
charged that they did this because
they desired to prevent any immediate
nomination until it was seen the
populistS intended doing. But the
convention went right ahead and Ed.
S. Abel, of Johnston, mad a scathing
attack on those who protested; in fact,
termed them populists.
Beckwith said this was a lie and a
fight between him n Abel instantly
followed, as Abel rushed at n
struck him. Several blows passed.
Abelrs face was scratched. The fight
occurred in front Of the stage n
was quickly stopped.
E. W. Pot was nominated for solicit

WAsHINGToN, April l6. The Wash
ington Posts summary Of the situa-
tion is as follows:
Immediately the president is en-
powered to use the army and navy, he
will issue an ultimatum to Spain, Civ
ing her "a hours-possibly 4s-within
which to answer whether she will
peaceably withdraw her troops and
flag from Cuba. Her refusal TO evacu-
ate the island, which is, of course, ex-
Dected, will be the signal for action on
the part OF this government and that
action will be the vigorous use of both
our naval and land forces. The Post
makes this statement upon the highest
possible authority. the course of action
indicated having been decided upon at
Fridays cabinet meeting.
Should the resolution reach the
president accompanied by the amend.
ment recognizing the republic OF Cuba,
the president vii. sign them, but in a
brief message to congress he will hold
that the constitutional prerogative
vested in the president to recognize
other governments can not be taken
away, and that the amendment: is
therefore void and imperative"

VIII Repel Every Attack, Direct or Indi-

Will Repel Every Attack, Direct or Indi.
rect,on the Sovereignty of Spain In Cuba.
LONDON, April 14-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Daily Mail tele-
graphing at o'clock Wednesday even
ing says:
Lieut. Gen. Correa, minister of war
and Count Xiquena. minister of pub
lie works, both told me in a conversa-
tion Wednesday afternoon that the
government was firmly resolved to re.
pei every attack, direct or indirect, on
the sovereignty of Spain in Cuba.
They said also that they were sure
that this line of conduct ON the part of
Spain would certainly be supported by
the European powers, more especially
because the negotiations were based
on an acknowledgements of Spanish
sovereignty in Cuba.
"They told me that the conduct OF
Spain would be adjusted to that of the
United States and that in face of the
fact of the continuance of military and
naval preparations in the United
States, Spain was fully justified in car
rying on her preparations. Finally
the minister said to me:
Our resolution at the cabinet coun-
Gil was taken unanimously and we
shall maintain it with all the neces-
sary energy.
