SIGNIFICANT
ORDERS.
COmmander-iu-Chief >chley, of the Fly

Ready to Sal on an Hours Notice

WASHINGTON, Apri, TELEGRAPH
ic orders were sent at l N. today to
Com mmander-in-Chief Schley, of the
flying .quadrop, to be ready to sail on
an hours notice.
The situation at this writing, 2:3O p.
M, is as follows:
Spain has given an evasive reply Cn
the Gu ubsn n question, made for the pur-
pose of delaying q settlement. She has
pra ;ically refused to give Cuba free
dom and has denied the right of the
Uci ed States to interfere. The ad-
ministration is determined to give
Spain no more time. Another cabinet
meeting was called at noon. The mat
ter of sending the flying squadron.
now at Hampton Roads, to intercept
Spaip's torpedo boat fio'il'a was dis
cussed. The fl tilla is due at Porto
Rico on April I.
Preparations for trouble in Havana
were also discussed.
The fly ing squadron is composed OF
the flagship Brooklyn. cruiser, the
battlestip Mass. and the cruiser Co.
lum b! q. The cruisers Minneapolis and
Montgomery will probably reach
Hamp pton roads tomorrow. and become
part of tt g fly iug squadron. These
vessels have all been painted a du !
lead color, even to the guns, which at
distance cannot be discovered.
The ST Louis r publ, hiss his for
ecass which seems to fit the above Or
der:
Washin ngtor.-COnm NJ Odore Schley
will take command of the fly ing squa-
drcn at Hampton Roads on Monday
and will shortly proc eed to sea. It
can be st tied on excellent authority
that th commodore. b IS been instruct
ed to intercept the flotilla, to warn it
TO stop at Porto Rico, and in the event
of a r fusal tn use his discretion.
Spain " as asked to hold this fiotilla
at tie Canary Islands and refused. The
state departm ept is giving the Madrid
governme Mt every opportunity to re-
ques. that the f1otilla be halted at
Por'o o r ca. No reply had be n re-
ceived at q late hour tonight. ST. ain,
it is expected, will refuse TO accede to
this request unless she has made up
her mind to give up Cuba without a
-trug lie.
She is playing her last card now,
and the chances are she will lose.
Commodore Sch'ey will leave the
Chesape axe with Discretionary orders.
and it is not hard to GU SO what his
course will be should the Spanish com-
mander decline to remain at San Juan,
Porto Rico, instead of proceeding to
Cuba.

Is in Substance That Spain
Has Ordered
GEN. BLANCO TO REVOKE
The RecOncf ntrados Orders, to Give Him .
Half Million Dollars to Expend for the
People and to Allow Them. to Re turn to
Their Homes and Farms and Pursue
Their Vacations Unm0lested.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The reply
of Spain to the demands of the United
States was placed in the hands of the
president this morning. While nothing
official has been given out, it is stated
on goo1 authority that Minister Wood
ford's note devotes more space to his
impressions as to what the Spanish
government will not do, than to .
formal expression for the Spanish
ministry. Spain does not accede to
the American demands, neither does
she positively por finally reject them.
The question is left open as to what
course negotiations will take. Ac-
cording to the traditional policy of
Spanish diplomacy, more delay will be
requested and much avasion manifest
ed.
LATERAL 2 o'clock the president
gave out Minister Woodford,s dispatch
from Madrid. It is in substance that
Spain has ordered General Blanco to
revoke the reconcentrados orders, Civ
ing him a halt million dollars to ex-'
pend for the people and to let them re-
turn to their homes aud farms, and
successfully resume their peaceful vo-
cations.
The presidents statement throws
little light upon the situation and the
general opinion is that the statement
was given out to quiet the spublic
clamor temporarily, and that the pre-
sident will submit the whole matter to
congress announcing that diplomatic
negotiations are at an end. Spain will
be granted no delay by congress.
Ore of the incoming papers brings
the following dispatch: The Spanish
delegation at Washington late tonight
received a cablegram from the COVER
nor general of Cuba saying that the
captain general reported the pacifica-
tion of the eastern provinces SO far ad-
vauced that it ad been decided to res
cind the recOncentrados order in these
provinces, and allow all subjects of this
decree to return to their homes in the
country. To aid in the re-establishing
of the reconcentrados upon their
farms, the cableeram states,
the government will grant
them the protection of the Spanish
military forces augmented BY local re-
lief committees and to look after their
immediate needs. Economic methods
are to be established to support the
reconcentrados while waiting for their
first cop to mature, and they are to be
furnished farming implements and
seeds by the government. To supply
them with ready money such of them
as are able will be given employment
on public works, and it is asserted by
the authorities that measure will re-
suit in the speedy rehabilitation of the
rural communities in the eastern
provinces.
