The other arrest was one OF more
Importance. Officers Franco and Gle

time as being one of the thieves i'm

hiding ever since. He could not re

mischief and the police officers in
Juarez made it SO hot for him that he
concluded he would come to FL Paso

THE FRENCH
 ARE EXCITED Sympathy of Press and People Is Clearly With
 the Spanish.
It Is Believed, Nevertheless, That the Government Will
 Remain Neutral.
Americans in Paris Point Out That Americans Have No Need to Get
 Angry at This Time.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PARIS, April 1.-The feeling here of both the press and the public is very strong against the United States; es- pecially since President McKinley's message. MT. Mckinley is compared to Pontius Pilate and the American Congress is accused of a buccaneering spirit which it is feared will extend to the possessions of other nations as we'll as those of Spain.
 There is feverish activity at the Gov ernment dockyards in completing yes sels and rearming old ones.
 Frenchmen are quite indignant at the suggestion that the United States will possibly decline privateering and the powers in consequence may force Spain also to renounce the privilege. It is believed that the Government will, however, preserve a strict neutrality.
 American residents in Paris are in- tensely excited. The idea of war is not very popular among them, but the bet ting is very brisk at all the American resorts. MT. Henry Vignaud, secretary of the United States Embassy, in the saying that he considers war inevita- ble, although America desires peace and does not desire to annex Cuba. The hour has struck, he believes, for |. the severance of Cuba from Spain. France has no need to appear shock ed," said MT. Vignaud, "at the sup posed motives of the United States. They are the same that prompted her to assist the American colonies in the war of Independence, yet the position of America as a British colony was far superior to that of downtrodden Cuba"

Not Man in the Ranks But Is Chock Full of
 Fight.
All the People Of the South Are Struck With the War
 Enthusiasm.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, April 14- The Twenty-fifth Infantry arrived here this afternoon and, with the exception of two companies, which left for Key West in the early part of the even ing, it is quartered in the cars until to- morrow morning, when they will go into camp at Chickamauga Park
 The detachment which left for Key West will reach there some time to- morrow night.
 The nearer to Key West the regiment gets the more full of fight do the sol diers become. A restaurant man said to a group of them: T don't see what they are sending you fellows to Cuba for; you can't fight" whereupon he was promptly knocked down and out
 The warm reception given the regi- ment late yesterday afternoon was re- peated at Nashville this morning, and at every place along the line, especially by the colored people. Fully 2000 peo- pie were crowded into the depot at Chattanooga to welcome them and cheer after cheer was given
 NASHVILLE, Tenn, April 14.-f any doubt existed regarding the pat riotism and warlike feeling of the resi- dents of Illinois, Indiana and Tennes- see, along the Chicago and Eastern Illi- nois Railroad, it would have been swept away by the reception given the Twenty fifth Infantry as it passed along. At every town, on every street crossing and on the depot platforms men waved their arms in frantic token of approval and in most instances sec onded their gestures by yells. In the larger towns, where the train stopped for few moments, the crowd piled so closely in upon the cars that it was inn possible for the soldiers to leave the train at all.
 q was among those who answered the first call in 1S61," said the con- manding officer. Colonel Andrew Burt, to-day, and these scenes along the way are very similar to those that greeted us as we went to the front thirty-seven years ago."
 At one small station where the train stopped for water the Colonel said to the men on the platform:
 Are you going to follow us, boys, if war comes ?"
 We are coming right after you" shouted several, and Colonel Burt climbed back into the train with the remark:
 T guess those follows are all right. |"
 The men of the Twenty-fifth are full of fight and it was shown in good style last night as the train left Terra Haute. A yOun~ fellow on the platform shouted in joke: ''Hurrah for Spaini" and in- stantly there was a break by several soldiers to reach him. They were held back by the non- commissioned officers. who explained that 1t was I. cant as a l joke.
 That don't matter" was the reply. Let nobody tell us 'Hurrah for | Spain!'"

THE PLANS TO
 INVADE CUBA Two American Armies Will Be Landed on
 the Island. One in the West Will at Once Lay Siege to the City of
 Havana. The Other In the East Will Join the Insurgents In the
 Field.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, April IA Washing ton special to the Herald says: Lieu tenant Colonel A. L. Wagner. chief of the military information division of the War Department and member of the army and navy defense board, was in consultation for several hours to-day with the naval war board regarding plans for intervention in Cuba. Com prehensive plans for the cooperation of the army and navy were exhaustive ly discussed at this conference. The first step of the administration in car rying out the wishes of Congress when they have been expressed by the pas sage of the resolutions empowering in- tervention of the President to end the war in Cuba, will be to make a formal demand upon Spain to withdraw her forces from Cuba, and leave the in surgents in undisputed possession of the island. A copy of the resolution will accompany these demands.
 It is understood that active work of the army in Cuba, as at present planned by the joint board of the army and navy, contemplateS sending troops to Cuba i'll two grand divisions. One of these divisions will land in the neigh
 
 city where the defenseS are weakest, and there will entrench and lay siege to the city in conjunction with the naval blockade to be maintained out side of the harbor.
 The other division of the army, 1t Is understood, will operate in the eastern end of the island, supporting the insur- gents and supplying them with all ne- ceSsary arms.
 While a few days may be given to Spain in which to reply to the Presi- dents demand orders to concentrate the available troops of the regular army in the South, to mobilize the Ma tional Guard and to direct the naval forces to be in readiness to execute the campaign plans which have been pre- pared will be issued in advance of her reply, which, it is believed by the au- thorities, will be made by her warships rather than by her diplomats.
 The insurgents, on account of their acquaintance with the topography and existing conditions in the island, will be relied upon in great measure to di- rect the details and scope of the mili- tary operations. Supported by United States troops they will advance toward Havana from the east in an effort tC drive the Spanish army toward that city. The plan is to ultimately con- soldate the two divisions of the army | around Havana and thus reduce the city by siege upon all sides. The re duction of MatanZas forms a part ot the department plans.
 The navy will take the initiative ir the administration plans of interven- tion. The Key West fleet, under Com. modore Sampson, will at once sail fol Havana, and the flying squadron. un- der Commodore Schley, will make 2 dash for Porto Rico. If active inter vention Is to be made as quickly as tn, situation now indicates is probable, tht l Spanish naval forces will not have time to arrive in the Gulf of Mexico t' render material assistance in defense O. 1 the Spanish possessions.

NAVAL NEWS IS
 NOW KEPT SECRET.
While Uncle Sam Is Buying and Arming Vessels Their Movements
 Will Not Be Made Public.

WASHINGTON, April 14.-The most pronounced development in the Navy Department to-dey was the issuance of an order prohibiting the giving out of movements of vessels. Since the be- ginning of the present crisis the de- partment has been gradually closing in tha lines of information and to-day the official order went out that the custom of posting ship movements should cease. 1t was explained that in view or existing conditions this was deemed necessary, and hereafter no movements whatever will be made public.
 One more auxiliary cruiser was pur- chased to-day, the steamer Venezuela or the Red Line. She will immediately be sent to shipy,,rd for refitting. Secre- tary Long stated at the close of office hours to-day that the steamship Paris and the New York had not yet passed into the posses ion of the department. It is understood, however, that as soon as the question of terms can be set tied these ves: .ls will be placed on the naval list along with the St. Louis and St. Paul, of the same line. It is also stated that negotiations are under way for the purchase of the Holland sub marine torpedo boat Plunger. The de partment is now awaiting the report of the board which was ordered to in spect this novel craft.

SAGASTA SAYS
 SPAIN IS CAUTIOUS.
Madrid Government Absolutely Re- solved Not to Provoke Hostilities
 With Uncle Sam.

LONDON, April 15.-The Madrid cor respondent of the Daily Mail, tele- graphing at o'clock Thursday after noon, says:
 T have just had conversation with Senor Sagasta, who assured me that the Government was absolutely re- solved not to provoke hostilities with America. He added: I should be ex- tremely sorry were the country to lose its present self-possession because of the incesSant menaceS addressed to us by the United States. We are striving with all our might to repress the na- tional excitement. While others are carrying on agitation with as much cleverness as Don Carlos has displayed in his recent manifesto, I hope the policy and action of the Government will inspire confidence in the country. Just as we are careful now of giving any cause of offense to the United States, so will we. if necessary, display all possible energy to defend the honor and interests of Spain.'''

WILL BUY AND NOT
 CHARTER THE VESSELS.
The Government About Decided to Purchase the St. Louis and St.
 Paul and Man Them.

NEW YORK, April 14.-A Washing ton special eo the Herald says: Sec retary Long will finally determine to- morrow either to charter the American line steamers St. Louis, St. Paul, Paris and New York, or to purchase out right the St. Louis and St. Paul. There is reason to believe that the charter proposition has been discussed with President Griscom of the American line who was at the Navy Department to- day, but from indications it looks as though the Government will buy the St. Louis and St. Paul. There is possibility that the department may determine to direct the formation of a board of appraisers to purchase the St Louis and St. Paul in case there should be any disagreement as to the price to be paid for them by the Government.
 It has been determined by the Navy Department to use the Naval Militia on board merchant ships, but it can be stated authoritatively that such organ izations will be impressed into service as battalions, that is, they will not be separated and distributed among sev- eral vessels.

MADRID (via Bayonne), April 14-A letter just received here from the Phil ippine Islands says that all the troops which were embarking for Spain at the time the communication was mailed were marched hurriedly to various towns in the interior, where the re- bellion against Spanish rule has been renewed. It is added that over 2000 well-armed men are now in the field. There have been several engagements and number of Spanish priests have been massacred.
