SPAIN PREPARING FOR WAR.
EquippinE It's Arsenal Forces and Or
ganising Its Marine and
Infantry.

Madrid. Feb. 26.-The cabinet has consid-
cred the situation and no incident was re-
ported as altering the ''cordiality of the
relations between Spain and the United
States" though the ministers expressed
regret at the passion which has crept into
public opinion during the present incident.
A million pesetas was voted to develop
the navy.
Deputy Mesa Mena. an intimate friend
of General Weyler. has received n MESA &c
from the former captain general OF Cuba.
denying the report that Weyler took from
the war depart tment at Havana papers and
plans connected with the fortifcations. TIE
deputy says it is douhly absurd to suppose
that General Weyler placed mines and tor
pedoes in Havana bay to endanger navi-

is further said that all the documents and
plans relating to the campaign In Cuba
are among the archives in the war de-
partment at Havana.
The Imparcial to-day warns Spain "to

Mckinley and that OF General Woodford
at the recent banquet here" adding
America Is actively preparing for tho wal

cUBA's ENORMOUS DEBT.
Spain Objects to Relinquish-
ing the Island.

Washington. Feb. 2S.-The strongest
reason to restrain Spain from voluntary
surrender of authority in Cuba is that she
would thereby assume the responsibility for
the Cuban debt, which now amounts TO
nearly 5000. 900. 600, whereas If the island were
forcibly wrested from her she would have
sn excuse TO repudiate and tell her credit
ors they must look to the people in posses
sion for payment. In discussing the various
propositions that have been made by the
''ecpRratists" member of the diplomatic
corps, who is fapiIiar with affairs and
politics in Spain. declares that the present
ministry will entertain none of them. for
the reason above mentioned. If they should
consent 10 mediation or intervention, or
even 10 the purchase of Cuba for s25 Ooo.o 600.
or any other sum- her creditors would hold
her responsible. whereas IL the separation
were through the forcible intervention OF
the United States the Spaniards could refer
them 10 this country, and there might be
a basis for a claim.
II is known TO the department of state
that members OF the present autonomisi
government In Cuba have been in secret
communication with leaders OF tho insur-
rsction in the field for a compromise which
shall admit the latter to a share in the
government This is also known In Madrid
where Messrs. Giberga, Amblard and Gown
are openly charged with treason by the
newspapers. IL is believed that they are
using as a basis of negotiations a plar
which was suggested by the leaders of the
autonomist party in Havana and published
in these dispatches a week or two ago
Very little is known of the progress of the
negotiations.

Assistant Secretary Roosevelt and Captain
Crowninshield, of the navigation bureau
AS to the outlook, he said he thought
things were looking much better. He said
the public ought not to be under any mis-
apprehension with regard to naval move
ments; that, SO far they had mostly been
the ordinary dispositions which are made
from time to time: for instance, the ship
ping of guns to New York is to supply the
Chicago and other vessels which are under
reconstruction there, and they would go
in any event. The gun factory at WASH
ington is where they are made. and they
are sent to various points as the occasion
requires. So. TOO. the call for more men, he
said is simply the revival of the recon-
msndation in his annual report.
This statement by the secretary evident
ly was made to allay the apprehension
caused by the reports of heavy shipments
of guns from the Washington navy yard
and other warlike measures.
The movements of some OF the warships.
such as the Detroit and Marblehead. to-
ward Key West had already been, shown
to have been in accordance with orders not
only made but published in the newspapers
as well. before the Maine disaster. SO that
the secretary's explanation on this point
is only confirmatory of the statements of
the subordinate officials of the navy de-
partment.

CAPTAIN sIGsBEE's FUTURE.
II Is Predicted That He Will He As
signed to the Finest Ship
i'm the Nnyy.

Washington. Feb. ga good deal of
speculation exists here as to what will be
the future of Captain Sigsbee. who has for
the past ten days occupied a very trying
position It IS no longer doubted that the
board of inquiry will completely exonerate
him from all blame growing out Of the loss
Of his ship and his status in the navy and
that of his subordinate officers will be pc
culiar.
1t is generally agreed. however, that Cap
tain Sigsbee will become a most censpicu-
Gus official in the navy. 1t is predicted that
as reward for his trying experience and
the terrible ordeal he has passed through
the navy department will assert its con-
fidence by assigning him 10 the command
of the finest ship in the service. All naval
officers concede that this would be the
proper course to pursue.
However. there is no precedent in naval
service by which can be determined what
action the department Is likely to take in
dealing with Captain Sigsbee. Never before
was there a vessel blown up which was so
powerful and SO costly as the Maine. The
rdle in Great Britain is if captain loses
his ship even without negligence On his
part or that of his crew he rarely secures
another. The career of an officer In the
English navy practically ends when his
ship goes to the bottom. The commander
of the Victoria which was rammed by the
Camperdown. was one of the most brilliant
officers in the British service, possessing
great influence with the admiralty Office.
yet he followed the orders of Admiral Try
on and the Victoria was in consequence
lost So far as is known he has not since
been given an important command at sea
or one at least equal in rank to that Of
captain OF what was then the finest British

phenomenon" "s.
The president realizes that the situation
is serious and calls for the exercise of the
greatest wisdom and discretion. but the
published statements concerning prepara-
tions for hostilities and councils of war
are false. He is going along with the reg
ular duties Of his office as IL nothing had
happened and ''is confident of the ability
of the government TO sail through the
present crisis without sacrificing its honor
or dignity or being compelled TO defend
them with arms"
At the cabinet meeting to-day there was
a free discussion OF the situation, but
every one said that no new facts were
brought out and that there was no change
in the opinions expressed last Friday that
the explosion on the Maine was the re-
suit of an accident. 1t was emphatically
denied that General Lee had cabled the
department his opinion that the Maine
was blown up from the outside, or that
there was information from any source
indicating such a conclusion on the part
of the board OF inquiry. There is quieter
feeling at the navy department to-day
than at any time since the Maine dfsas-
ter and the naval officers and other off,
cials are waiting patiently for the verdict
of the board of inquiry, with great conf
dence in its judgment and imparttality.

by one member of the cabinet, and was
afterward confirmed by two other men,
bers, all speaking with obvious frankness.
Their statements were made after a cab
met meeting to-day, which continued two
hours and q half. and at which scarcely
anything besides the Spanish situation was
discussed.
The foregoing statement represents the
exact facts. / am well aware that there
are newspapers which claim We are on the
very brink of war; that perhaps tomorrow
the big guns may be fired. But / have
made an investigation which satisfies mo
the present situation Is not even critical:
that this government is trying to avert
war; that the government of Spain Is try
ing to avert war; that there is much less
danger Of rupture over the Maine disas-
ter than most people suppose.
There are newspapers which claim any
thing or everything. For instance. they
publish that President Mckinley is con-
WINGED war is inevitable, while almost the
exact contrary is the truth. President Nc
Kinley believes that war is improbable
There arc newspapers which assert that
congress is in great state of excitement.
eager to break away and declare war. while
the truth Is that congress is calm, is await
ing the verdict Of the court of inquiry, is
almost unanimously content to leave the
whole matter in the hands OF the president.
and that any man who were to propose ac-
tion in advance Of ascertainment of all the
facts would be squelched in short order.
The president has already shown that he
cannot be stampeded. Congress has shown
that it cannot be stampeded. despite all the
clamor of yellow journalism. Abundant evil
dence is at hand TO show that the country
is not stampeded either but that 1t supports
| the calm. patient, patriotic attitude as
sumed in this emergency by all branches
of our government and by men of all parties

recent declaration at Rondout that. in case
Of war between the United States and
Spain, It would become the duty of Roman
Catholics to fight on the side of Spain. has
been officially requested to leave the do
cese. This fact was given out to-day by
Father Cornolloy. secretary to Archbishop
Corrigan, who explained that. had Father
Weber belonged in this diocese instead Of
in the West, from whence he came, he
would have been subjected to sharp dsci-
pline.

One of the clerks noticed that black pow
der came from the poorly wrapped pack
age. The clerks carefully opened the
package by pulling n slide which served as
lid. After the lid had been removed a
box was discovered. 1t was arranged in
two compartments. Attached to the lower
portion OF the boxlid was thick sandpaper
and in the upper compartment matches
and about a pound of powder. which
would have been ignited by the re-
moval Of the lid quickly. The powder was

Washington. Feb. 26.-In the absence OF
news from Havana on any subject other
than the disposition of the dead bodies, the
official mind turned to-day to an analysis
of the Spanish statements. made with a
greater or less degree of official sanction,
respecting the total absence OF submarine
mines from Havana harbor. and 1t was
regarded by the navy department as mega
tiving the mine theory Of an external cause
for the explosion, just as recent letters put
an end to the exploding boiler theory as
an internal cause for the disaster.
Nothing was heard to-day from the
court Of inquiry, and the department is
still ignorant Of its plans. In fact, the only

Canton Augusta Gives Fine Parade 3 eiore
Starting for the Hub.

The gallant chevaliers who represent
Canton Augusta, did themselves proud
in their parade of Tuesday, which they
gave previous to their departure for
Boston to attend the Sovereign Grand
Lodge of Odd Fellows, that is in ses-

Captain Levi Poor, assembled in front
of their hall on State street. in full
uniform, ready for the parade.
The 1st Regiment band was there.
and it is a band the regiment can we'll
be proud Of, which was fully demon
strated by the music they rendered
during the forenoon. Band Master
Howe has raised this band from green
players to what they now are. all in the
past four months.
In marching to the station they took
the longest way around, going over the
