tcct the American consulates In Spain at

such line of action must necessarily be
followed IL the Spanish government is to

gratifying to the State Department to

purpose OF assuring Assistant Secretary
Day as to the attitude of the Mexican gov
ernment toward the United States in the
event Of the breaking out Of hostilities
with Spain. The news from the City of
Mexico that a concentration of Mexican
troops has been ordered on the Texas from

tiles here as evidencng a purpose on the
part OF the Mexican government to sternly
and promptly repress any Quixotic at

Spain or by some of the many lawless Mex
leans, who are quick to take advantage CT
any disturbance to profit by the organiza.-

The State Department officials have, 30
far as can be gathered. no notice OF q re-
newed effort on the part Of the European
powers to influence the course OF our gov
ernment in the direction of preventing hos
tilities, and it is surmised that II further
attempts of that kind are in process they
are being directed upon the Spanish cabi-
net. One OF the rumors in that connection
which was in circulation this morning was
that the powers had about concluded to as
sure the Spanish ministry against over

event that 1t should consent to q separa-

Transfer Of Army Headquarters.

No date has yet been fixed for the trans
fer Of army headquarters from Washing
ton to the south. In fact, there is as yet
considerable doubt as to whether this trans
fer will be made at all at present. The
matter has been brought before the Presi-
dent for decision. and strong representa-
tions have been made to him that the vast
work Of organizing. arming and equipping
the considerable army that will undoubted-
ly be required in case Of hostilities can be
better discharged at Washington, at the
seat Of government, and close to the source
Of executive power, than at another dis

KEY WEST. Fla, April 1S.-Cuban refu-

from supplies which mad been consigned to
Havana. and of which shipment was stop
ped at this port. Much of the food is al
ready spoiled.
When General Lee erd ether American
rsuls were withdrawn from Cuba it was
calc ulated that enough food was in ware
houses and had been distributed TO feed the
starving people for twenty. days, but it was
rot expected that after the relief agents
left an equitable distribution of it would be
made. .>
Supplies in warehouses have unquestion-
ably heen seized by the Spanish authorities.
Under the most favorable circums tances
they could OF be relied upon to get food
out among the pecrle.
The relief agents thought that ten days
was the limit of the pariod during which
the food actually distributed could main
tain the population. Those ten days are up
ard if t;ey had any means of knowing
what is happening the starving people in
Cuba would not be able to f1ll their stom-
achs with the knowledge that the United
States government Is hating between war
ard diplomacy in seeking to succor them.
There seems to be fatality attending
every stage of the effort to relieve the VIC
tins of Spain's policy in Cuba, for the only
result is to make inevitable the death to
which they were condemned by Weyler.

The smeke made by Pittsburgh coal
Will probably soon be prevented by a
Pittsburgh expert. Arrangements
have been made by mech meal ex-
pert for the installation OF q smoke
preventer plant in an electric station
at one OF the city institutions in Gin
cinnati, and exhaustive tests will soon
be conducted under his direction. The
scheme is simple, cheap and effective.
The amount Of oxygen hacking In coal
to make perfect combustion Is sup
piled by chemical, which is sutomat-
icslly sprayed with water by fan
over the glowing Goals OF the fire.
The water assists in the more perfect
combustion Of the coal and the gas
given of is more highly volatile than
the carbouaceous or smoke gas, and
the particles of carbon in going
through II arc consumed. It Is claimed
that the amount Of heat which is pre-
vented from going up the chimney as
smoke, and which 10 practically saved,
will almost equal the slight cost OF the
chemical. This chemical is kept in
small tank and the only addition
necessary to the plant is small blow
ing machine. The use Of the chemical
does not require any alteration in the
arebox or boilers. By the automatic
spraying the combustion is always al
most perfect and the fire Is suokeless.
