PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.
Insurgents to Attack Havana by
Land, Supported by Squadron.
TWO SMALL PORTS TO Be CAPTURED.
Communication to lie Opened Up with
Gomez and Garcia Made
to supply the Insurgents with
Arms and Ammunition.

WASHINGTON, April 90. Much anx-
iety is expressed here as to the plan
of campaign to be followed by Spain
in her prosecution of the war The
predominant feeling here is that the
Spanish government regards Cuba as
already lost. Nothing but successful
engagement with the American squad
ron could possibly intervene even to
her temporary advantage. Plans of
the war department are subject to sud
den changes, but from all indications
1t is proposed to recruit the volunteer
army and rendezvous IL at the
southern rallying points as fast as pos
sible. So far as the plans are known,
1t is intended to provision, equip and
clothe the insurgents and send them
against Havana without the co-opera-
tion of the American troops, but sup
ported by a sea attack from the block
aiding squadron. II repulsed. il will
then probably be decided TO transport
the American army to Cuba to CO.
operate with the forces under
Gomez and thus speedily bring
the war on the island to a close,
which will enable the fleet to give
its undivided attention to the naval
operations of the Spanish feet The
strategic boards of the army and navy
are being urged to supplement the pa.
cific blockade by the taking of one
port on the north coast of Cuba and
one on the south coast for the purpose
of establishing a juncture with Gen.
Gomez's insurgent troops at Santa
Spiritus and with Gen. Garcia's insur'
gent forces in Santiago de Cuba. Sec
rotary Albertini, of the Cuban lega
ton, said yesterday that move
ments of this character would
be extremely valuable in open
ing up connection with the
insurgent forces. 1t is felt that small
ports could be taken practically with
out opposition, and that Cienfuegos
on the south coast, and Sagua il
Grande, on the north coast, are proba
bly, best fitted in point of location ant
lack of coast defenses as the basis o.
supply. Cienfuegos, on the south coast
is the point most accessible to tn,
commands of both Gomez and Garcia
while Sagua is within easy reach o
Gomez. by having two bases, one OF
the north and one on the south, til,
danger of interruption in the com
munication from one to the othel
would be avoided, and, it is thought
through communications between tn,
two could be effected.
ARMS FOR THE CUBANs
New YORK, April 20. A dispatch t
the Herald from Washington says
Arrangements have been completed by
this government to supply the CubaI
insurgents with arms and ammunition
The government is preparing now t,
land in Cuba from $4,000 to 80. 90
stands of improved Springfield rifles
a number of artillery batteries, rapid
fire Maxim guns and an abundance O
ammunition for the effective use O
them. II cannot now be said whei
these munitions of war will Oe place,
in the hands of the insurgents, bu

Miniater Woodford and Party Have an EH-

Coach Stoned by a Mob.

BAYoNNE, France, April 23.-United
States Minister Stewart l.. Woodford
is now safe on neutral territory, but
in getting here he came near losing
his life. Spanish mobs, incensed at
the action of the United States, gath
cred around the train at Valladolid
and threw stones at the minister's car
riage. Only by the most strenuous eff
forts were the guards able to prevent
the rioters reaching the ambassa-
dor and dragging him from the
coach. An effort was made TO
take Gen. Woodford's secretary,
Mr.. Moreno, from the train,
but the correspondent of the Asso-
ciated press hoodwinked them by a
clever ruse. Thousands of excited
people attempted to invade the railroad
station, and 30 civil guards, who ac-
companied the train, were compelled
to form in front of Gen. Woodford's
carriage with drawn swords The
guards did everything possible to keep
back the mob, whose yells and shrieks
resounded on all sides. Stones were
thrown at the train and windows bro
