WE ARE NOT ALARMED.
Strategy Naval Board Doubt the Re
ported Approach of Spanish
Fleet.

Washington, April 2S.-The navy de-
pardnent was the center of great activ-
ity today, Secretary Long and Assist
ant Secretary Roosevelt consulting
with bureau chiefs and receiving many
senators and other public men. The
policy of rigid secrecy in strategetic
movements, orders to vessels, etc, is
continued, and no confirmation was pos
sibIe of the various reports of captures
in southern waters.
The strategy board began another
session about midday to take into con-
Sideration the latest reports of Ameri-
can and Spanish naval movements. AL
though members Of the board were
extremely reticent, two of them minim-
lied the reports that a fleet of Spanish
warships was now on its way to this
side. It was stated that the official re-
ports up to last night did not bear out
the rumors of this movement. When
asked as to the reported purpose of di-
Viding the flying squadron, with a view
to utilizing some of them along the
North Atlantic coast to repel Spanish
ships a member of the board shook his
head and smilingly remarked: Stuff
cient unto the day is the evil thereof. -
1t was inferred that the evil of Spanish
attack on North Atlantic ports was not
now regarded as imminent by the STRAIT
egic board, but that the division of the
flying squadron was q question of the
future in case a Spanish fleet was def
nitely located off the northern coast
Governor Oates of Alabama had a
conference today with the president and
also with Secretary Alger. He urged
the appointment of Gen. FitZhugh Lee
and Joseph Wheeler as major generals
of volunteers.
When the question of age was raised,
Governor Oates pointed out that Gen.
Robert E. Lee was 50 years old at the
close of the war. Generals Lee and
Wheeler are just past the sixties and
each well preserved.
The president asked Gov. Oates if
he had considered entering the military
service, to which he answered that he
was ready if his services were needed,
although he had not sought to return to
military life. Gov. Oates is a oRe-armed

San Rafael, April 2s.-An over town the

choly height toward the heavens, grim
monuments to failure on the very eve or
success For Providence, aided and abet-
ted by the Ladies' Auxiliary league, has
decided that in these tempeStuouS times

any day and the vessels of the United
States are said to be of heavier armament

Spaniards. decided victory for the
American navy, it is argued in Wall

points. Should further improvement, how
ever, occur before the battle takes place,
the success of the American admiral may
be discounted after the fashion in which
the unfavorable effect of the declaration
of war was discounted before it was made
The stagnation of investment and specu-
lation is clear proof that the thinking
members of the community are beginning
to discuss with gravity the various cOntin-
gencieS involved in a state of war. 1t
is all the more gratifying that under these
circumstances there is SUCH a firm main
tenance of values. There were no devel-
opments at the beginning of London's

recently entertained in the street that a
large foreign short interest existed in
American stocks.

Kansas City Men Allowed to Take

Poured Out

Enough liquor to make every inhabi-

The liquor destroyed was the stock

joints which Judge Hazen ordered the
sheriff to abate Wednesday. 1t con-
