United States Has Reason to Fear an At

for Loss of Philippines.

NEW York, May 3.-A dispatch to
the New York Herald from Washing
ton says: Fearing an attack on the
seaports of the north Atlantic coast
by the Spanish men-of-war now on
their way to western waters, Secreta-
ry Alger has taken steps to further i'm

excellent authority for the statement

Spanish men-of-war will appear at
some port on the coast and attempt to
retaliate for the loss of the Philippine
islands by doing as much damage as
possible and, when this work has been
completed, sail with all speed to Porto

AL WAR NEWS SUPPRESSED.
Publication OF Movements of Spanish Navy
or Other News Prohibited In Madrid
Cabinet Crisis Imminent

MADRID, May 3.-The proclamation
of martial law issued by the governor
general expressly prohibits the pub
LEGATION of any news concerning the
war or the movements of ships of the
Spanish navy. The principal news
papers advise calmness, so as &c
avoid the unpatriotic spectacle of dis
turbances when SPANS united forces
are required to avenge recent losses
Much attention centers in debates in
the chamber and senate, which will be
raised by the repu blicans and Carlists,
who propose to hold the government
responsible for the country's present
position. Nobody will listen to g
proposal of peace until Spain has had
another chance of measuring her
strength with that of the United
States.
The impartial independently aud the
Liberal moderate republican, insist
that the cabinet crisis has only been
postponed for a few hours. At the
opening of business in the cortes
vote of censure against the minister
of marine, Adm. Bermejo, will be pro-
posed, as a result of the crushing de-
feat of the Spanish fle ct in the Philip
pine islands and the alleged unpre

to reply to all questions on the sub
