FINE ARRAY OF VESSELS

WASHINGTON. April 23.-The North

array Of fine vessels, comprising battle.
ships such as the Iowa and Indiana
monitors like the Puritan and Terror.
armored cruisers like the New York.
protected cruisers such as the Cincn.

low and the like, and not to speak of
the large number of fast yachts and
other vessels that have been added to
the fleet by purchase. This force is
quite competent to blockade all the
ports III Cuba, or at least all of the
ports connecting by rail with Havana
and SO likely to be used to supply that
place III the event Of siege with food
and munitions Of war. This statemert t
Is to be taken with the understanding
that 1t does not contemplate the com.
ing to luban waters Of the Spanish
fleet. In such case, however. the prob
able policy would be to abandon the
blockade and endeavor to force the
Spanish feet TO battle.

HAD AN EXCITING JOURNEY

spantsh Attempt to Capture One of Min
lister " OOdfortl's Party.
HENDAYE, Spanish frontier, April 23.
General Stewart l.. Woodford, the
United States minister to Spain, ac.
companied by his staff and others.
reached the frontier at s a. III. in safety
after some exciting experiences. The
Spanish police attempted to capture
member Of the legation, and at Nalla.
dolld the train was attacked.
Mr.. Moreno was the member Of the
United States legation singled out by
the Spanish police for capture, on the
ground that he is subject Of Spain,
but the attempt was frustrated owing
to the presence of mind of the minister.
At Valladolid the United States min
ister's train was attacked and stoned.
Windows were broken and the civil
guards were compelled to protect his
carriage with drawn swords.
The Moreno incident threatened to
be serious. The Spanish police made
a determined effort to capture Mr..
Moreno, but General Woodford stood
in the doorway Of the carriage, declar-
ing he should not be taken by except
force.
A detachment Of police accompanied
the train from Toloso to San Sebastian,
where the police officials left on seeing
that the general was determined to
maintain his right.
At Scyovia, the students Of the mil
itary college gathered on the platform,
cheering for Spain, and there We're sew.
eral similar incidents at other stopping
places. 1t was great relief to the
minister's party when the general
reached French soil. But General
Woodforl personally seemed uncon.
scious Of any danger.

The conferees reached an agreement
before congress convened. According
to this agreement the senate receded
from its first action concerning the
time i'll which the organized militia
shall serve, but the time for which all
volunteers are to be enlisted is reduced
from three years to two. The Warren

10 organize independent troops was re.
