SPAIN is SHORT OF COAL.

London. April PA dispatch to the
Daily Telegraph from Barcelona via
Paris saws: Grave apprehensions are
entertained in the highest government
circles that the issue OF war NAV be
decided, not by valor and enthusiastic
and dogged perseverance, qualities
OF which the Spaniards possess an
abundance. but by reserves of coal and
victuals, of which they have made but
a scanty provision in Cuba. Ii appears
that I'm respect to coal in particular

moment that peace would be preserved.
through the intercession OF the pope
and the powers, neglected to lay i'm a
sufficient provision OF coal. despite the
representations made 10 them by one
or two far-seeing naval officers.
Besides this. IL is believed they never
once inquired of the British or other
neral governments whether coal
would be regarded as a contraband OF
war. The resul: Is said 10 be a state
OF things which may be fraught with
unpleasant surprises and bring hostili-
ties TO a premature end.
Those in the secret were anxious TO
overthrow the cabinet on other grounds
before the beginning OF war. far patri-
otto considerations forbade a public dis
cussion o. the country's weak points on
the eve OF hostilities. The short time
allowed for the deliberations OF parlia-
ment rendered this intention difficult
of execution. and the liberal cabinet
which conducted the negotiations will
be allowed TO bear the responsibility

ton from him:
If the Carlists had been in power i'm
Spain. war would have been inevitable
two years ago. But Spain has erred on
the side of generosity and chivalry, and
thus gone to lengths hardly compatible
with national honor. The United States
has taken an advantage OF this at

strengthening her fleet. But we Span
iards are tough fighters and enter the
contest fearless of consequences We
thank the holy father for his kind
offices, but the time has passed for in
tervention and the final catastrophe Is
now inevitable"
The Wcrld correspondent had ex-
pressly asked for the reply to the ques-
tion whether Don Carlos would. under
all circumstances through his sympa-
thizers with Spain. support the present
government against America. but on
that crucial point ne preserved a signi-
ficant silence.

comment. His intention is believed to

'In the foregoing case the record fails
to show that the prisoner was afforded an
opportunity to plead, or that the court ar

charges. The members of the court being
no longer in this department, the record
cannot be returned for revision. The pro-
ceedings are, therefore, disapproved. and
