sPAiN's APPEALS FOR AIN
""S'ri", Germany, and France Pro-
mise Her Neutrality Only

Copyrighted by the Associated Pross
1899
BERLIN, March 19.-In spite Of deniols
the queen Regent of Spain has repeatedlv
ana strongly appealed to Emperor Fran
els Joseph, of Austria, to exert his
influence with the monarcbs of Eurona
particularly Emperor William Ia eacnre
thelr efforts to restore am.cable relotione
between the United States ana Snair
Inc queen laid special stress on the naces-
SHY Of maintaining the Leace Of
europe and securing an entente of the
european monarchs against republican
aggression. and on the affinity of her
dynasty with the Hapsburgs.
1t Is understood that Emperor Francis
Joseph while replying to the Queen
cautiously and cOnservatively, has ac-
tually written to Emperor William, en-
deaVoring TO elicit reply, pledging the
latter TO promise TO tender his good SER
vices in trying to maintain peace.
More recently, Spain approached Ger
many and Austria with the view Of OBJ
tanning assurance that they. In the event
Of war, would assist Spain in some way
or other.
The Spanish Ambassador here. Senior
Mendez de Vigo, father-in-law of Senior
Polo Bernabe, the Spanish Minister to
Washington, had a conference on We'd
nesday last with the Minister for Foreign
Affairs, Baron Won Buelow, when the
latter assured him that while Germany
earnestly desired the maintenance of
peace, she certainly would not pledge
herself to anything but the strictest
neutrality.
Spain is believed to have received the
same answer from Vienna and Paris.
Senior Sandoval, the Spanish agent, has
thus far been unsuccessful in his efforts
here TO purchase warships and torpedo
boats.
A remarkable change in party politics
is believed TO be imminent. 1t assures the
adoption of most important measures
pending in the Reichstag and Diet. The
main issue will be the commercial
treaties now pending, which are Largely
in favor of industrial interests, ana deul-

Every Preparation Being MADE lot
the Event of Thursday.
NEWPORT NEWS, VA, March 10
ial)-Preparation for the double
launching of the battleships Kearsarge
and Kentucky, which will occur at the
shipyard next Thursday morning, are be-
ing rapidly pushed to completion.
The officials are leaving nothing undone
that would detract from the great event,
Every accommodation for the thousands
of visitors who will be in the city on
that day Is being arranged. Contrary
to reports, the yard will be thrown open
TO the public early Thursday morning,
but the strictest surveillance will be OBJ
served by the watchmen and special
police TO prevent any tamperlng with the
ships by the souvenir friends.
The ships are now ready to glide into
the placid James The mighty fighting
machines. the defenders of American
honor and American rights, are resting
easily on their ways, waiting to make
the plunge. They have been reprinted
and with their military masts towering
heavenward, and streamers OF Old Glory
playing in the breezes, they present a
formidable and defiant appearance.
4 GREAT PAGEANT
Americans are a pageaDt-loving peo-
pie and an event of this kind is always
attended by eclat ceremonies. but the
demonstrations next Thursday will
eclipse anything in the history OF war
shipbuilding. Men prominent in national
and State affairs will be present. Mighty
men-of-war will be lying in the stream,
and from their guns will thunder a well
come TO the new ships. On the shore
there will be the glitter Of brass but
tons and beyonets, flags waving, and
plumage dangling from helmets. Thou
sands OF voices will swell the mighty
chorus, until the echoes will resound
along the shores Of the james.
Little did the first settlers at James
town dream as they pushed their little
craft up the river in search of a new
home I'm a new land, that some day the
mightiest ships OF the deep would make
their initial leap into these placid waters
Nor did Patrick Henry, who declared for
liberty or death, dream in his widest
fancies that some day in the dim vista
OF the future a people inspired by that
memorable speech would launch In Vir-
ginia waters such engines of war as the
Kentucky and Kearsarge to defend that
liberty for which he declared with only
death as an alternative. But II will be
done next Thursday
IN GALA DRESS.
Already the city presents holiday ap-
pearance. From many business houses
hang strips OF bunting and the Stars and
Stripes Decorators are hard at work
and by Thursday nearly every building
i'm the city will be dressed In national and
State colors.
