are not completed. but foreign govern

tatives accredited to them have been APP
preached with view TO acquiring some
OF the most formidable ships that belong

which the authorities have secured an
impression has arisen that this govern

Of the disinclinatlon OF powers to part

Sir Julian Pauncefote. the British am

at Summit lake would be satisfactorily
adjusted and that the troops would be
withdrawn If they were found on the

General Miles conferred with Secretary
Alger on the general situation and dis
cuEsed the redistribution OF the artillery
and plans Tor the expenditure OF a por-
ton or the appropriation OF 100000 in
the purchase Of ordnance and ammunl-
ticn General Miles said
we do not know how much OF the
new appropriation the president will al
lot TO the war department. but 1t Is not
known that any dehuite apportlonment
will be made to each department. but
expenditures Of different amounts will be
authorized according 20 the necessities OF
the situation. No new contracts have
yet been made by the department In View
Of the new appropriation. but many large
ones are under consideration for rapid ]
fire and large calibre seacoast guns. am |
muniiion. etc Some Of these contracts
will be for ordnance ready at hand and |
others FOR supplies 10 be manufactured /
Representatives Of the more important
ordnance manufactures were at the de-
partmeut today and some important con-
tracts will be awarded in a day or two.
IAN the preparations which viii be
made will in all probability be no greater
than the department would have made
long ago IL We had had adequate appro-
priations. The war department could |
easily and economically spend the entire |

ly a substantial peace footing. II can be |
stated that every dollar that the presi- |
dent feels justified In allotting to the war
department will be expended within the
limit OF the availability OF the appropri-
alton. The foreign situation is confess
eddy serious. but whatever may be the
outcome. We shall improve our oppor-
tunity to be prepared to meet any emer-
gcncy. The action OF congress is en-
eouraging as showing the support on
which the administration can count N

The ordnance department is considering

New York. March ga World dispatch
from Madrid says;
The whole Madrid press comments
gloomily on Spanish finances scare.
Many, including the friends of the cabi-
net, attribute it less to unfavorable rum
ors as to the relations of Spain with the
United States than TO the efforts Of ma
tive and foreign spectators who are ever
on the alert to take advantage of any
circumstance to depress Spanish securi-
ties
The tone of most of the papers is, how
ever. pesslmistic, as even so ministerial
an organ as FL Liberal concludes long
article on the situation as follows;
Undoubtedly our relations with the
United States have been adjusted for the
time being to the strict dictates of pru-
dence, but does the government really
believe that this nation will be able, with
out suffering lrreparable damage, to bear
for even few months more this anxious
