American, would be subject to capture.
Whether American goods. not contraband

be subject to capture Mr.. Penfield says
is difficult question to determine.
Under the declaration Of Paris in 1856
.'the neutral flag covers enemy goods, ex-
cept contraband of war" but to that
declaration neither Spain nor the United
States lis party. Mr.. Penfield thinks
however, that in view of the general ac-
ceptance of the principle in late wars
and of treaties between the United States
and Spain acknowledging the principle If
either should be at war with a third
power who acknowledges the principle

ment, asking the Ministers derisively
where they will go "after making
every possible concession and yielding
even the honor of Spain to Mckinley.
This causes the "Correo EspanoP to
say that it thanks the Ministry with a
contemptuous kick" adding
Our pen falls from our hand as we
contemplate the cowardice on one side
and the villany on the other. 1t is i'm
possible to write of it seriously. We must
be governed by the hermaphrodites of
Athens, and must hide the tear which
runs down the cheek while the lips curl
in supreme sarcasm We laugh while our
teeth clinch, the bile turns in our
stomach, anger heats our blood and our
hands instinctively seek an avenging
weapon
The feeling in Madrid tonight is stronger
than ever. All parties are uniting against
the Government and there are sinister
references to the austrian which mean
that the Queen Regent, who has never
been popular in Madrid, is rapidly falling
into increased disfavor. The feeling
against Her Majesty is exasperated by
the quotations from the English and
French papers of the suggestions of EN-
peror of Francis Joseph respecting Cuba.
The following quotation from the
Pals has much between the lines

NAVAL HEADQUARTERS
Key West Has All the Sights
Of War Except Dead

[By Cable to The Associated Press. ]

BY Cable to The Associated Press
KEY IVES, Fla, April IA, 1S9S.-Sur-
mise appears to have settled into convic-
ton here that the statement attributed
to President Mckinley, and partially con-
frmed by Vice-President Hobart, many
Senators and General Lee, namely, no
hostile shots until after April 49, was
true, was made for good reasons and will
govern events.
1t seems as if every precaution possible
in the way of provision and precaution
had been made, yet the docks are as busy
as ever, the harbor at night is illuminated
with the flash Of electric signals, torpedo
boats dash to and fro, and the booming
of guns engaged in target practice is
constantly heard during daylight hours.
The naval men here are much inter-
ested in the study of types of the new
gunboats, like the Wilmington and
Helena. Those who are acquainted with
Cuba recognize how valuable vessels of
this class could be in such harbors as
Matanzas, Sagua la Grande or in the
Cauto River, where light draft we'll
armed and heavily-manned boats are just
the thing for good service.
With the exception of the report that
four companies of troops are on their way
here to do garrison duty, there is not
much information obtainable regarding
the military plans and no steps appear
to have been taken to provide for the
transportation of troops to Cuba. The
naval men say they do not know of any
available transports in the Gulf, and
some people think the insurgents may be
relied upon to conduct the land opera
tions; but those who are familiar with
the circumstances say such an idea is
untenable.

MADRID, April 10. via Bayonne, France,
April IA, 1S9S.-The feature of the Oppo-
sition press is the endeavor to bring
General Weyler to the front and make
him the champion of the cause of revo-
luton, under the guise of saviour of
the National honor. The General, today,
undoubtedly has numerous followers, and
even the newspapers which, ever since
his return from Cuba, have violently de-
nounced him, are now laudfng the former
Captain-General of Cuba as the one man
who can save the situation.

Spanish Property aud Interests.

WASHINGTON, April IA, 1S98.-The
Spanish Minister, Senior Polo, has made
final preparations for his departure from
Washington, but no actual step in that
direction will be taken until specific in
structions are received from Madrid. Up
to the present time there have been no
such instructions and no intimations that
they were about to come, but the prepara-
ions for removal have been completed, in
view Of the obvious condition of affairs.
The official archives, which constitute
the most important possession Of the
Spanish Legation, have been sealed in
readiness to be placed in charge Of the
French Ambassador at Washington, M.
Cambon They fill dozen or more large
cases, each protected by heavy wire
screened doors.
The transfer of these documents has
been ordered from Madrid, nor has the
foreign office at Paris instructed M.
Cambo nto receive the archives and act
temporarily in behalf of the Spanish
government At the same time call by
the French Ambassador to the Spanish
Legation. and return call by Senior
Polo to the French embassy, brought
about an understanding as to what steps
would be taken in the event Of the re-
tirement of the minister.
Until today the Spanish minister has
continued to accept the social courtesies
extended to him, these being numerous,

WAR PREPARATIONS.
Seal of Secresy on Naval NJ owe ments :
Army Work Goes On.

WASHINGTON, April H. 1S9S.-Gradu-
ally the lines are Tightening around the
news centres of the Navy Department.
Some time ago Captain Crowninshield,
Chief of the Bureau of Navigation, issued
an order. forbidding any of the employees
of his bureau giving out news except on
permission from him. This did not inter-
fere whit the posting of the movements
of ships in the Navigation Bureau, which
has been done for a long time past.
Today, however, the officials of the
bureau gave notice that hereafter no
more information would be given to the
public respecting the arrival an ddepar-
lures of vessels from any of the United
States or foreign ports. This is done un-
der explicit orders from Secretary Long,
who believes that in times of a great pub
lie risis like the present, when the navy is
likely to be called into active requisition
the best interests of the Government re-
quire that no publicity shall be given to
the movements of the ships composing it.
President Griscom, of the American
Line of steamers, was at the Navy De-
partment today in consultation with AS
sistant Secretary Roosevelt and other Off
cials respecting the transfer of the yes
sells of his company to the Government
for use as auxiliary cruisers.
The Department already has decided to
buy the st. Louis and the st. Paul and
a report is current that it also intends to
acquire the Paris and the New York.
Some of the officials, however, are not
favorable to the purchase of the other
vessels for the reason they state that
their target space is too great as COM
pared with other vessels.
1t is the presetn intention of the War
Department to graduate the first class
cadets at West Point early in June, as
usual, but General Corbin today declined
to say whether or not they would be grad
uated at once in the event of war before
then. The Quartermaster General of the
Army has been instructed to purchase
1000 mules for transportation purposes.
The purchase probably will be made at
ST. Louis or Kansas City.

MADRID, April IA, 1s9S.-The news
papers here regard war as inevitable. The
last dispatches from Washington have
created profound excitement throughout
Spain, and the Spaniards protest against
the ssedious imputation setting forth that
Spanish officers were responsible for the
loss of the Maine. 1t is asserted here that
proof can be furnished to show that no
torpedoes have ever been laid in Havana
harbor.
The "Official Gazette" tomorrow, will
publish decree organizing a national
subscription to increase the strength of
me Spanish fleet.
The Liberal" today, says War is in
evitable, the last peaceful Illusion disap-
pearing before the decision announced
yesterday by the Senate Committee, at
tributing to Spain the Maine explosion,
recognizing Cuban independence and an
nouncing that armed Intervention will
shortly take place
Thereupon, the Liberal warns Spain
of the danger OF delay and further conf
dence in Arlelica.'' lest Spain loose by

Marshal Martinos de Campos, the for
mer Captain General of Cuba, is quoted in
an interview in the Liberal" as having
declined to express an opinion on the sit
uation owing to the fact that it might in
terfere with the course of events. He
added that intervention and requiring
complete freedom We're compromising
statements on one side or the other. The
General, however, ventured to describe
the situation as being most grave.
Finally the Liberal says

NEW YORK, April IA, 1898 The British
steamer Silvia, of the New York and
Porto Rico Steamship Company, arrived
last of which, st. John, she left on April
7, with full cargo of sugar to the
American Sugar Refining Company and
eighteen passengers.
Captain Clark said that at the time he
left st. John the Spanish cruisers Vizcaya
and Almirante Oquendo were still in port,
coaling, watering and provisioning, and
that entire secrecy was maintained about
their departure and the direction they
would take.
The people of the island showed much
care in avoiding discussion Of politics in
any way and wheh the subject of Spanish
dominion and policy was raised, they
were very reticent for fear of offending
the authorities. The people do not want
war with the United States, which would
destroy the trade of the island, for while
its coffee Is sent to Europe, the United
States receives its sugar, and when the
Silvia left st. John there was a feeling
that there would be no war.

NEW YORK, April IA, 1S9S.-The fitting
out Of the Mosquito Fleet goes merrily on
at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, day and
night, and today the Uncas and Wamnr
atuck sailed for Norfolk, Va, where they
will coal and afterwards join the squad
ron in Southern waters. On board q
each there are supplies for the big war
ships and ammunition is one OF the most
important commodities.
Early today the Government tug Nina
steamed down the river and brought BACK
a draft of fifty men, who arrived from
Boston on the Fall River boat.
The Narkeeta also was used today IN
transferring large quantities Of powder
from Pier 13. North River, to Fort Lafay-
ette. The powder supply at the fort was
almost depleted owing to the heavy
shipments made from it, but by tomorroV
morning, judging from the amount SEM
there on each trip of the tug, there Will
be tons of the necessary explosive stored
there.
In the Navy Yard everything IS pro
crossing satisfactorily with one exception
and that is the work on the new dry dock,
which is known as No. 3. This big re-
ceptacle was to have been ready for ves-
sells two weeks ago, but the latest inIorr
nation furnished to the Washington au7
thorities show that defects are daily
cropping up in every direction, ana
Chief Constructor Bowles believes that
the dock cannot be put in perfect condi-
ton until the latter part of May.
Men are hard st work stopping persist
ent leaks and Il, . said that the key wall
is trifle weak. Everything that money
and ingenuity can do is being done 70

although vast sums have been expended
upon the work the authorities believe that
it's usefulness will more than -compensate
the government for the outlay.
Yesterday twenty-eight names were
added to the enlistment roll on board the
receiving ship Vermont Today an un-
usually large number of men were passed
through the gate. each one Of them haak-
ing declared that he was anxious to join
the navy, but many of them returned dis
consolately. having failed to pass the
critical examination to which each appli-
cant must submit.
Many visitors were disappointed when
they were refused admittance at the
main entrance and not a few used forei-
Bile language to the sentries who stopped
them at the gate. The marines took all
the harsh words very good naturedly,
and in many instances soothed the
ruffled feelings of many an anxious par
ent by saying, well, you see we've got
to obey orders and duty is duty.
Two anxious mothers who had sons on
one of the small vessels teleDhoned to
the Commandments quarters for permis-
sion to see their boys, as they said
probably for the last time" and Rear
Admiral Bunce Immediately sent an or
derly to the gate to conduct the women
to the ship. The mothers were delighted
when this privilege was granted them
and none of those who failed to gain
entrance begrudged the women their well
earned happiness.

LONDON, April IA, 1S9S.-A Spanish Cab
met Minister, a special despatch from Ma
drid today announces, has declared in an
Interview that should President McKin-
ley notify Spain to evacuate Cuba, this
Government will Immediately and en-
phatically refuse, and will add that it is
fully prepared to take the consequences.
stThe Government continued the Cab
met Minister referred to, docs not regret
according the armistice, as it has thereby
improved its position, from an interna-
tional point of view, and has made it more
difficult for the United States to intervene
without putting itself completely in the
wrong"
According to special despatch this af-
ternoon from Madrid, there was big
revolutionary demonstration at Valencia,
capital of the Spanish province of that
name, yesterday evening. Large crowds
assembled, a red flag was displayed and
waved in the air and the "Marseillaise"
was sung. The police, it is added, dis
persed the people who took part in the
demonstration and captured the red flag.

Odiicer on this island made an inspection
yesterday of the Ellinger cigar factory,
on Wall and Duval streets, and the
Marrero factory, situated on Virginia
and Kerr STREETS, with the view Of con-
verting them into hospitals prior to or
after hostilties begin
AT the Admiralty here it is suggested
that the Spanish naval scheme will not
be to pit fleet against the American war
ships, but to scatter Spains war vessels
about the coasts and indulge in guerrilla
warfare, swooping down upon coast towns
and retreating before they are overtaken.
1t is deemed certain that this will be
Spain,s policy if she abandons the hope
Of retaining Cuba and merely pursues a
war Of revenge.
Many merchant vessels are being offer
ed at the United States Embassies on the
Continent, but no negotiations are pro-
ceeding, and it is said at the Embassy
here that the United States Government
has no need for any more ships.
The afternoon newspapers today print
long comments on 1.-THE evil of leaving
the issue of peace or war in the hands of
Congress. Not one of the papers, how
ever questions the duty of the United
States to intervene in Cuba, but they are
disposed to criticize the methods pro-
posed.

THE scene in the House and the Sem
