IT BoTHERs TIE sPANIARDs,
Our War Preparations Are Distasteful to
 the DOns.

tuC DOnbs
 WASHINGTON, March 17.-The war preparations being made by the United States, the assembling of ships Ut Key West, the purchase of cruisers abroad, and the emergency measures in the war and navy departments have come to the official attention of the Spanish govern ment, and the views of the Spanish cabinet thereon nave been communi- cated to the state department here.
 It has been specially pointed out that the presence of large fleet of United States warships at Key West can not be regarded as friendly measure, as the sending of ships was officially repre- sensed to be when the Maine went to Havana, and the Vizcaya returned the complimentary visit. In short. the presence of this extensive fleet near Cuba, together with the war measures taken by the United States, are regarded by Spain as se- riousiy prcjudicial to the policy of autonomy which Spain and the United States have alike approved, and an in- direct encouragement to the insurgents in defeating the desires of both govern ments for the success of that policy. Finally, in spirit of friendly representation, Spain has pointed out that war by the United States against Spain under such circumstances would be unjustifiable before the world, and crime against humanity and civiliza- tion. The representations contained no reference whatever to the Maine disaster or to redress or indemnity therefor

 PARIS, March 1.-The Aurore affirms that the French fleet is being prepared for mobilization, adding that feverish anxiety prevails at all the arsenals and shipyards, which are working until ten o'clock at night. The Aurore says the French northern squadron. at Cher bourg, is ready for immediate depar- tnre. The ships, it appears. are being swung during the night, at Cherbourg, for the adjustment of their compasses.
 Finally, it is asserted. that in order to complete the necessary number of officers, second year students are to be appointed midshipmen, and all the ad- mirals have been instructed to reach Paris within e4 hours after being sum- moded.
 The Aurore explains that the mobiii- zation is connected with preparat sons to support Russia by naval demon stration in the far east.

 GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., March IT, The first symptom of war as far as Michigan Is concerned, came when the state military board received 2 re- quest from the war department that each company of Michigan troops be divided into squads of eight men each, in charge of corporals and that complete lists of these divisions be reported at once to the secretary of war, thus insuring getting troops out in the shortest pos sible order.
