A WARLIKE ASPECT.

Key West, Fla. April 1s.-The arrival
OF companies A and q of the Twenty fifth
infantry reused Key West from tropical
lethargy. and Sunday was marked by Q
stir unwonted In these exciting times
The fleet in the harbor and the military
on land give this lazy town a warlike
aspect which sits strangely on II.
The colored troops, 125 in number, were
obliged to remain on board the City OF
Key West all night. because OF lack of
accommodation at the barracks. already
given over to two batteries of artillery.
IL was eventually decided to quarter
them in old Fort Taylor. and Sunday
morning they formed in double file and
marched there. body OF stalwart men,
many of whom have seen war service in
indian campaigns and most of whom
rank high as sharpshooters.
Some of the local papers have beer
protesting against having colored troops
sent here, and there has been a slight
fear OF an unfavorable demonstration.
So far from anything of the kind hap
pening. the troopers were greeted with
only words OF praise.

REGARD WAR INEVITABLE.

Madrid, April 1s.-The war fever has
been raging many hours. One news
paper alone thinks peace family possible
Some people. trusting to vague tele.
grams from Havana, indulge a hope
that the insurgent leaders fearing Amer
ican annexation, will voluntarily come
to terms with the autonomous govern
mcnt and that this may make President
Mckinley pause; but no definite infor-
nation has been received in that sense.
There Is a semi-panic on the bourse.
Stock are falling badly. and evidence
Of a very grave situation Is heard and
2elt In all directions. In spite of this
the government and the governed are
pulling along well together and pro-
fess themselves ready to confront what
seems inevitable.
In official circles there Is an impres.
sion that rupture of negotiations may
not take pace quite so soon as was ex.
pected, but 1t cannot be said that the
prospects of peaceful solution are
much improved. Among the leading
representatives Of all parties there ia
an ALMOST unanimous opinion that the
United States will accept nothing less
than termination Of Spanish sovereign.
ty In Cuba, and as any concession Of that
kind Is considered utterly Incompatible
with national honor, war seems inevi-
table, unless something unknown shouId
suddenly intervene.
A few people imagine that Europe may
possibly awake at the last moment to
the dangers of aggressive pan-American
ism and recognize In Spain the champion
of the vital European interests Of the
future. In that case there would be
collective Intervention by the great
powers. but such illusions are not in
dulged In by practical statesmen, nor
do these latter attribute much impor-
tance to the persistent rumors Of the
likelihood of the insurgents making
terms with the autonomous government
to avert annexation by America.
The journals which comment on the
senates resolutions consider them fur
ther proof OF Americas scheme OF an
nexation, and point out that 1t comes on
the very day on which the Havana dele
gates proposed starting to confer with
the insurgents. Government circles feel
that the resolutions are fresh obstacle
raised to the union of the insurgents and
the autonomists In Cuba.
The ministerial organ calls attention
to the unexpectedly large minority"
It believes that the existence of this
minority, Joined with other reasons, may
lead the mixed committee to agree to
replace the independence proposition
with one for Immediate Intervention.
Even presuming the final resolution
passed In that form, 1T continues, "well
informed judges believe that President
Mckinley would not give 1t immediate
effect. preferring further negotiations.
Nevertheless. these optimistic views do
not warrant the statement that the prob
lem is greatly ameiiorated. If the
two houses Of congress vote compro-
mise, President McKinley's action will
soon clear the atmosphere"

COAL is coNTRABAND.

Washington. April 1s.-Senators OF all
Washington. April 17.-Senators of all
shades OF opinion on the Cuban question
regard as very important the announce
ment that Great Britain has decided to
treat coal as contraband OF war in her
West Indian possessions in case o% q
war between this country and Spain.
While the decision is apparently i'm
partial, the senators say that the effect
necessarily will be entirely in the inter-
est OF the United States. because OF the
fact that this country Is SO near where
the. seat OF war Will be. and. therefore,
will Hot be compelled TO ask fsvors OF
other nations. while Spain will have only
her store at Porto Rico to draw upon.
She has been making all the purchases
she could, but the stock Is necessarily
slender, and senators generally think
that one of our first attacks in case of
war will be upon Porto Rico.
They expect that point to be captured
early i'm the war. and think this capture
will have the effect Of soon terminating
hostilities. With England treating coal
as contraband, even the most conserva-
tive senators think 1t will be impossible
for Spain long TO maintain conflict
In waters so far removed from her base
Of supplies.

SPEECH FROM THE THRONE.

Madrid. April 1s.-The draft Of the
speech from the throne which is to
be laid before the cortes Wednesday has
been substantially drawn up. 1t is
short and strongly worded, but probably
will undergo notifications in accordance
with events that may take place In
America during the next few days. II
is believed that the debates in the two
chambers will be very brief and that no
party Of any shade of opinion will refuse
to grant the government the fullest
financial assistance In case of an inter.
national conflict.
The Spanish report on the Maine dis
aster will be published in day or two.
II Is said TO be very technical. but II
proves that the disaster originated from
an interior cause. IL practically shows
that the Americans concealed documents
and refused to produce proofs for Joint
use. as the Spanish freely did.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1898-04-18
TEDDY TO RESIGN.

Washington. April 1s.-Theodore
Roosevelt probably will resign his Office
as assistant secretary Of the navy In
case of war with Spain to accept COM
mission for active service In the army.
Nothing definite has yet been decided
upon as to what assignment he Will ac-
cept, but II is believed that he would
prefer to serve with the Ney York state
troops.
From the beginning OF the present
difIiculties with Spain Mr.. Roosevelt has
been prominent among those who be-
lieve that war is the only solution Of the
problem; and since the disaster OF the
Maine his advice to the president and
members OF the cabinet has uniformally
been for immediate action against the
6paniards with the full power OF the
army and navy. He has never doubted
that the Spaniards were responsible
for the wreck of the Maine. and believes
that that act fully Justifies an immediate
declaration of war.

WHAT BOSTON EDITORS SAY.
How Procrastination Robs the Unite,
States of an Advantage.

How Procrastination Robs the United
States of an Advantage.
Boston, April 1S.--The Post wants ac-
tion. Every days delay" 1t says.
plays into the hands of Spain-suppos-
ing that she means to fight. Procrasti-
nation robs the United States OF the ad-
vantage afforded by our geographical
position and the location of our navy.
Having determined what justice and
duty require to be done. let us go ahead
and do it. II there were any doubt
whether we are right. we might hesi-
tate and deliberate: but we have decid-
ed that we are right. and the sooner we
act on that decision, the less will 1t cost
the American people in life and treas
ure."
The Journal says: THE senate has
done wise thing in adding to the reso-
lutions a paragraph declaring that the
United States 'disclaims any disposition
or intention to exercise sovereignty,
jurisdiction or control over Cuba. 'ex-
cept for the pacification thereof; and
asserts its determination. when that is
accomplished, to leave the government
and control OF the island to it's people.
This is a solemn avowal to all the world
OF our absolute unselfishness OF pur-
pose. 1t will acquit us of all suspicion of
conquest for aggrandizement."
The Globe maintains: I'm the Cuban
resolution passed by the senate the
American people say what they mean
and mean what they say. 1t is automatic
that this is always the best way to ap-
proach any duty. however simple and
humble. and 1t is the only safe way to
approach a duty of such far-reaching
importance as that which confronts the
country at this time, when the opinion
OF the world and the interests Of pos
terity are involved"

PEACE COMMISSIONERS.

Havana, April 1S.-Peter Rabail. colo
nial secretary OF posts and communica-
tions. and three others. designated by
the autonomist government as partic-
ular committee to approach the insur-
gent leaders in eastern Cuba, left by rail
Sunday for Batabano. whence they will
proceed by steamer TO Santa Cruz del
sur. to ascertain whether the insurgent
government In the province of Puerto
Principe will accept the armistice. If
received, the commission will indicate a
neutral zone and propose conditions and
a place OF meeting. Two prominent au-
Economists and members of the central
committee have been appointed by the
committee with the same ends in view.

WAR MAY BE AvERTED.

London, April 1s.-The Times says ed
itorially this morning: Whether Il
was intended or not. President McKin-
ley's action has had the effect Of bring
ing out with the utmost clearness the
existence OF two wholly divergent con-
ceptions OF the American policy, to-
gether with the uncertainty as to which
is really favored by the mass Of the
American people. This evidently means
delay. and. looking to the rising passions
Of Spain. the imminent danger OF a
rupture is to be sought at Madrid rather
than at washington. IL the Spanish
people. therefore. are able TO control their
natural irritation. there Is still pos
sibility that war may be avoided, es-
pecially IL President Mckinley wins"
