GEN. MONTGOMERY MOORE.
British Commanders View of the SPANISH
American Trouble.


Halifax, N. S., March 30-General
Montgomery Moore, commander-in-
chief of the British troops in Canada,
says that he saw a great many things
to interest him during the past ten
days in the United States, but con-
fessed his inability to foretell whether
there will be war or peace as the out
come of the Spanish-American crisis.
The general who has just returned
from Washington, says that everybody
from President Mckinley down treated
him we'll. He saw much excitement in
all the places he visited and watched
the trend of the public feeling closely.
In an interview to-day he haid there
was no official reserve. Everybody
spoke freely of the Maine incident and
of war. The report of the Maine court
of inquiry arrived the day he left the
capitol. All Of them were quite con-
WINGED Ehat the destruction of the ship
was from an external explosion, and it
was cutie convincing from the evil
dence given. Continuing, he said: "The
United States think that they are quite
able to take care of themselves. If
they do go into war they will probably
come out of it little wiser than when
they went into it. At present it is
very hard to say what would be the
result. President Mckinley is strong
man and he will not allow his hand to
be forced if he can help it."

FOUR WARSHIPS.
Report That Spain Has Obtained Them in
France.

France.
Madrid March 30.-El Pals says that
four warships have been obtained by
Spain in France, that negotiations are
pending for the purchase of several tor
pedo boats in Great Britain; that or
ders have been issued to mobilize ali
the Spanish warships; that the torpe-
do boat Halcon is to sail Immediately
from Carthage for Cadiz, where a
second torpedo squadron is being pre-
pared; that military engineers are
starting for the Canary Islands and
that the Beleric Islands are being for
titled. Italy, it is said by the Pals, has
decided to sell the armored cruiser
Giuseppe Garibaldo Of 6,840 tons and
well armored, sister ship of the Varese
to Spain. Two regiments, according to
the Pals, are going to the Canary is
lands to strengthen the Spanish gar
rison there.
The Armstrong Spanish agent, a
Spaniard, who is in touch with the
government and commercial people in
Spain, has expressed the belief that
unless the powers intercede there will
be war He added: "If the United
States offered money for our clearing
out of Cuba we could not accept, but
If the proposition emanated from
another power it is not unlikely that it
would be accepted" This view is ech-
oed by a portion Of the Spanish press,
which advises Spain to wash her hands
of Cuba.

UNEXPECTED ENDING.
Yachting Party's sAdventure-Steam Yacht

Yachting Party's Adventure-Steam Yacht
Barracouta Breaks Main Shaft.
Boston, March 30.-A yachting trip
came to an unexpected ending at an
unexpected place to-day, when D. p
Reighard and party of invited guests
from Pittsburg, landed from the fruit
steamer Barnstable from Jamaica. On
Sunday last the Barnstable sighted a.
vessel in distress which proved to be
the steam yacht Barracuda, which had
broken her main shaft two hours be-
fore the time of sighting. Mr.. Reigh-
ard, the owner of the vessel requested
that himself and guests be taken
aboard the steamer, which request was
acceded to by Captain McGrath. The
Barnstable's boat was lowered away
and in command Of Second Officer
Crosby, rowed alongside the yacht and
took off the party, which included
eight persons. They were taken aboard
the steamer together with considerable
Of their baggage. The yacht was then
eighteen miles northeast from San Sal
Vador.

QUEEN REGENT TO RELATIVES,
Writes to Austria Anar She is More Fet.
tered Than Real Sovereign.

London, March 31.-The Madrid Cor
respondent of the Daily Mail says: The
queen regent has written to her rela-
tives in Austria saying that she re-
CARDS herself as more fettered than
real sovereign, because she is only a
trustee who has undertaken to hand
over to a son an inheritance from his
father, unimpaired and uninjured. IT
am in a difficult position" she said,
having to act as the guardian of the
dynasty which I must not expose to
any danger and at the same time as
the defender of the right, honor and in
terests of Spain. To surrender Cuba in
any form would unquestionably injure
the dynasty, whereas to fight for it
would keep those interests intact with
my country's honor"
l do not pretend to give the text of
the. queen regents letters, but only
their general sense. The recipients
have been deeply impressed by the seri-
BUSINESS of such communications from
a woman of remarkable energy and
sense of duty, confronted by such
momentous crisis.

PACTFIC4TION.
BIanco Cables Spanish Legation That it is
Far Advanced.

Ear advanced.
Washington March 31.-The Spanish
legation here late last night received q
cablegram from the governor general
of Cuba saying that the captain general
reported the pacification Of the eastern
provinces so far advanced that it had
been decided to rescind the reconcen-
trado law ordered in these provinces
and to allow subjects Of this degree to
return to their homes. To aid in the
establishment of the reconcentrados
upon their farms the cablegram states
the government will grant them the
protection of the Spanish military
forces augmented by local relief COM
needs. Economic kitchens, it says, are
to be established to support them while
waiting for their first crops to mature
and they are to be furnished farming
implements and seeds by the govern
ment To supply with ready money
such of them as are able will be given
employment upon public works and it
is asserted by the authorities that
these measures will result in the
speedy rehabilitation of the rural com
munities in the western provinces. This
cablegram, was not made public until
more than an hour after midnight and
no confirmation could be secured

Earthquake in San Francisco.

San Francisco, March 30.-A severe
shock of earthquake was felt here at
i1:t3 tonight. The vibrations contin-
ued for fully fifteen seconds, causing
people to rush from their homes in all
parts of the city. The earthquake was
one of the most severe ever exper-
fenced in this state. Buildings were
violently rocked and telephone and
telegraphic circuits were damaged. AT
midnight no serious damage was re-
ported.

TO ESTABLISH HABOR LINES,
Hearing by Special Committee Held Last
Night.

A meeting was held last night by
the special committee Of the court Of
common council, consisting of Alder
man Chillingworth, chairman, Alder
man Forsyth and Councilman Fuller,
appointed to consider the establish
nent of the harbor lines as recon-
mended by Major Smith S. Leach Of
the United States engineer corps and
the New Haven board of harbor COM
missioners
Representatives of nearly all the
firms owning harbor frontage which
will be affected by the establishment of
a harbor line were present. The
change in the harbor line proposed is
between Tomlinson bridge and Long
wharf, and it is proposed to so extend
the harbor lines that they will be out
side all existing terminals. Last night
Representatives of Sperry & Barnes,
F. A. & D. R. Alling, George Alling &
Sons Co, ]. H. Starin, Haistead &
Harmount and J. B. Sargent & Co. ap-
peared before the board and all ap-
proved the proposed changes, although
Halstead & Harmount and Sperry q
Barnes desire some sligth notifications
which will probably be made
Attorney Roger S. Baldwin appeared
and gave the committee some valua-
BILE points on the law in regard to
waterways and riparian rights and re-
cent decisions of the courts on these
matters. 1t seems that between Long
wharf and Benedict & Co.'S dock there
is a space which the proposed harbor
line would cut off in a measure and
it is claimed that this is natural wa
terway and was used as such for a
number of years and it is further
claimed that the harbor lines cannot be
so changed as to interfere with this.
The question will undoubtedly be set
tied satisfactorily to all parties before
the line is established.

HARBOK TO BE FORTIFIRD At ONCE.
So Reported at Chamber of Commerce An
nual Meeting Last Might.

So Reported at Cham Der of Commerce An
nual Meeting Last Night.
The fifty-eighth annual meeting of
the chamber of commerce was held
last night in the Builders exchange
In the absence of the president, Gener-
al George Fl. Ford, who is in the south
for his health, Vice President Max Ad-
Ter presided. Henry c. Rowe reported
to the chamber concerning his visit to
Washington as delegate from the
chamber of commerce TO present to
President Mckinley the petition asking
that coast defenses be built at New
Haven harbor entrance. Mr.. Rowe told
of his visit to Washington and said
that since his return during the last
few days he had received letters from
Connecticut's representatives in con-
gress stating that orders had been is
sued to Major Smith S. Leach ordering
him to begin work on temporary forti-
fications at the mouth of New Haven
harbor at once. Mr.. Rowe stated that
he had been informed that the tenn
porary defenses would consist of old
smooth-bore guns which will be
brought from Fort Griswold at New
London, and that possibly guns would
be brought from the earthworks at Nj
antic He said that he had been in
formed that Major Leach would begin
at once the work on New Haven's de-
fenses and that guns would be placed
at Lighthouse Point, Morgan's Point
and Oyster River Point. He stated
that he had been informed that later
permanent defenses would be built con-
sisting Of rapid-firing disappearing
guns. A report was also made by
George B. Martin of the committee
which went to Washington to present
to congress the memorial asking for
the deepening of New Haven harbor

MALFEASANCE.
End of the Bridgeport Case--Charges Fell
Rather Flat.


Bridgeport, March S1.-The famous
impeachment case which has been be-
fore the city council for a. few weeks
and which was the outcome of charges
preferred by Mayor Taylor against
Commissioners Waterhouse and Fer
guson of the board of public works,
was brought to a close shortly before 2
o'clock this morning. Ferguson was
wholly eXonerated and Waterhouse
was considered guilty on the charge
of owning horse and cart on the pub
lie works-a malfeasalce-by twelve
members of the council, while eight of
the members thought the charge not
proven. AS the necessary two-thirds
vote was not against him, however,
nothing further could be done. A res
olution introduced by Alderman
Thompson that Commissioner Water
house be removed from the board
also brought the same vote of
II in favor to opposed, which was
again lacking Of the necessary two-
thirds vote.

States will view such a move with IA
vor. The French ambassador at Wash
ington, M. Cabon, has received no def
mite instructions directing him to ten
der the good offices of France. Never
theless, the ambassador, taking the cue
from the remarks of Premier Hama
toux, has called on Judge Day and has
said that If this government at any
time feels that the French government
can aid in averting the present grave
crisis and maintaining peace he has no
doubt that France will readily under
take to exert such good offices as will
be acceptable to both powers. 1t is
probable that the suggestions have not
taken a more formal shape owing to
the delicate character of such over
lures. A tender of good offices is one
of the last resorts of diplomacy, when
all other means of averting war seem
to be at an end. There is additional
difficulty from the fact that when two
nations are involved in crisis any
external interference may be resented
as an intrusion. There is reason to be-
lieve that no step will be taken by
France unless it is clearly apparent in
advance that the United States desires
the friendly offices of other nations.
Spain and Austria.
Spain has expected assistance of
Austria owing to the relations between
them, the queen regent of Spain being
an Austrian princess and a cousin of
the Emperor of Austria. Up to the
present time, however, Austria has not
felt ready to take the initiative alone.
The reports from Vienna last night
that the Austrian minister of foreign
affairs, Count Goluchcwski, had in
strueted the Austrian representative at
Washington to cooperate in the steps
to be taken by France are not borne
out by any actual developments here
The Austrian minister has not been at
the state department during the pres
ent week, nor have any suggestions in
this line been received by the state de-
partment from him. 1t is a coincidence
that the French ambassador the Aus
trian minister and the Spanish minis
ter are more closely associated togeth-
er than any other diplomats in the
corps.
Secrecy.
The greatest secrecy prevails in many
bureaus of the war and navy depart
ments in regard to the various projects
of defense and naval movements now
going on. Captain Crowinshield of the
bureau of navigation has issued the
following order: "Officers, clerks and
all employees of the bureau are forbid
den to make public any information
concerning the movements of ships, or
dprS To officers or at her off cia1 husnesS
of the bureau, except that they have

"ARMISTICE" A MAGIC WORD
IN HAVANA 1T IS REPEATED FROM
LIP TO LIP.

Those, However, Who Know the Insur-
gent Leaders Say That All Reckon With
out Their Host Who Believe These Men
VIII Agree to an Armistice Even II Asked
TO do so by the United States.
Havana, via Key West, Fla, March
S0.-Sunday and Monday were days Of
decided anxiety in business circles Of
Havana, but yesterday and to-day
there has been a much more quiet feel
ing. Without being able to give any,
good reason for their belief, many
prominent men seem satisfied that
peace is assured. The word "Armis-
tice' is repeated from lip to lip as if
there were some magic within it to-
solve the whole problem of Cuban
strife. Those, however, who know
General Maxine Gomez, General Cal
ixto Garcia, Senor Batto1omeo Masso
and other insurgent leaders best say
that all reckon without their host who
believe these men will agree to an ar,
mistice even if asked to do SO by the
United States, unless it is plainly un-
derstood that the truce is to be fol-
lowed by a recognition of Cube libre..
1t is argued that General Gomez after
holding out all through the dry season,
will decline to agree to truce during
the rainy months during, which the
insurgents would have the advantage.
On all sides it is regarded as almost
certain that if war does come, it will
be after every effort to maintain
peace has failed. But very few think
that war will come beween the United
States and Spain.
There are no visible preparations to
provision Havana in case Of block
ade, nor is there any notable increase
in the coal supply Of naval uses In
the opinions of Americans one Of the
gravest dangers lies in the fact that
the ignorant classes Of the city are not
in any way advised as to the chances
of war or siege. They believe Havana
impregnable and the fleet Of Spain all
conquering. If rudely awakened to-
other views they might become dan-
gerous and foster internal disorders.
