COAL FOR SPAIN STOPPED.
British Vessel Not Allowed to Sail with Amer-
can Fuel.
Spain Cannot Get Coal in England Because
of the strilSe-Thc situation is
Getting Interesting.

New York, April 1s.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says;
In view of SPANS efforts to collect
coal at Havana and San Juan. no
doubt exists in political circles that
the naval plan for the Spanish governs
ment contemplates the dispatch Of the
fleet to western waters
II Is officially admitted that this
government has determined not to per.
nit any coal to be taken to the Cape
Verde islands on board the British
tramp ship Hampstead and that ncgo-
tiations are under way for the sale Of
that vessel and her cargo to the Unit
ed States. The Hampstead, although
she was to have sailed Saturday. has
not gone and her purchase will prob
ably be announced. 1t is admitted by
officials that they are trying to meet
trick with trick. There is but a
small amount of coal at st. Vincent
and II would be necessary for the
Spanish fleet to go to some other point
for fuel within short time. as the
supply at Cape Verde cannot last any
length Of time. 1t was to help the
lleet now gathered at that point that
the Hampstead was ordered to pro
coed to Cape Verde after purchasing a
supply at Lamberts Point. The Unit
ed States is in great need of colliers,
especially one loaded with coal, and Il,
would, therefore. he only too glad to
take from Spain the vessel and her
cargo and use her for offensive pur-
poses against her first employer.
Official information received by the
authorities also indicate that there Is
but small quantity OF coal at the
Canary islands A desperate effort
is being made by Spain to ship supplies
to that point and also to Cape Verde,
which is evidently to be the anchor
age of the fleet until war breaks out.
II is impossible for Spain to procure
coal in England because of the strike
now In progress in the coal mines and
because the English coal dealers re-
fuse to receive promises to pay and
will only sell to the Madrid governs
ment FOR cash.
1t Is known that Spain has been
floating considerable paper in CONT
mental Europe, but she has been una
BILE to force any of ii on the English
merchants Whether Spain pays
cash for goods purchased in the Unite
states is not known. but 1t is believed
that what little money she has she is
spending for protection and the Goa,
she is sending to Havana.

City and New Orleans. Gen. Gushing
says the domestic sources OF supply are
so abundant and reliable that unless
there should be occasion to put some
thing like one million men In the field.
there need be no occasion for an in
crease In cost of subsistence or any like
effect upon the food supplies OF the
country.
The cost of transportation will be
less where the army Is concentrated
than whore it is distributed all over
the country.

purpose we declare further that any
