FALSE NOTIONS AS
 TO SOUTHERN PATRIOTISM,
Dreamy Dons Yet Think of Invad- ing the United States From
 Mexico

CITY OF MEXICO, April 16.-A cor respondent called on the Minister of War, General BerrioZabel, tonight, who says that so far from increasing the troops on the border, there are fewer soldiers on the Rio Grande than for some months. Troops have been moved about lately, and that probably gave rise to rumors of increased mill tary operations.
 Many hot-headed and impetuous res ident Spaniards fully believe that if they were allowed to enlist a few regi- ments among their own countrymen and invade Texas, the Southern States would welcome them and begin a re- bellion against the Federal Govern ment, and that the Southern leaders would agree to give Mexico back her territory lost in the war of the Ameri- can invasion.
 Some time ago at a dinner at a Span ish club in this city it is reported that this Quixotic plan was broached to a general in the Mexican army, veteran of several wars, who tried to reason his Spanish hosts out of their absurd notion, while they tried to persuade him to head little army of invasion, which they would form. He f1atly re- fused. but it was boasted that the Spanish colony would make rear at tack on the United States while war was in progress.

PROBABLE DISPOSITION
 OF CALIFORNIA GUARDS.
Will Be Stationed at the Presidio and Exposed Points Along the
 Coast

SACRAMENTO, April 16.-Colonel Peeler, assistant adjutant- general, in speaking of the war situation this afternoon said:
 "Fn all probability the State troops will be called upon to take the place of the regulars at the Presidio This was the course followed during the war of the rebellion and l presume 1t will be done just as soon as war is declared. It will certainly be necessary for the State troops to take an active part, when the time comes, and while the War Department will no doubt leave sufficient number of regulars at the various barracks along the Pacific Coast to man the heavy artillery our National Guard will be placed at vari- ous points to resist any attack that may be made along the coast"
 In speaking of the order of General Shafter, directing the location of heavy battery at Santa Cruz, the colonel said:
 Tt seems to me that such an order was most important and essential one, for the reason that at the present there is no defens of any kind at Santa Cruz and in case of an invasion our vast powder supplies at that point would fall into the hands of the enemy. Eureka and Santa Barbara are also exposed, and I have no doubt that a portion of our State troops will be stationed at these points. No business of an extraordinary nature is pending in the office of the adjutant general. but as soon as the order comes from Wash ington to remove State troops a speedy and active response will be made"

GERMANY ID
 BE NEUTRAL Baron vOn BulOw So Says to Elm baSSadOr
 White. But the Press of the Fatherland Does Considerable Carping
 on the Subject. It Is Believed That the Commerce of the Country Will Suffer Dur
 ing HOstilities.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

BERLIN, April 16.-In German of1l- cial and political circles 1t is held that an outbreak of actual hostilities be- tween the United States and Spain IS merely a question of brief time, as both countries have gone too far to re- cede
 There has been a strong revulsion or popular sentiment here. Last week the preponderance was in favor of the United States. To-day the reverse IS true. President McKinley's message is considered disappointing and it's i'm port is regarded as anti-peace. Even the Liberal press strongly disapproves of it. A carping spirit is shown throughout the press.
 The attitude of the Government, however, differs widely from it. Baron von Bulow, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, had 8 long conversation this week with United States Ambassador White on the situation, and White en- powers the press of the United States to say that the Minister gave him the strongest assurances that Germany in the event of war will maintain the most strict and loyal neutrality, with 
 was due to Baron von Bulow'S per- sonal inspiration that the semi-official North German Gazette printed the dec laration to this effect"
 Germany'S care to avoid a possible misinterpretatioin of her designs is shown in the fact that orders given some time ago to the home fleet to pro- ceed, early in May, to Spain, for maneuvers have been countermanded, Cn tn Ia fa1 Spain's part.
 The German Government and a DOT ton of the press are discussing the probable extent to which German in- terests will be affected by the war. A high official of the navy in an inter- view said to a correspondent, There is a possibility-nay, probability fleet off New York or some northern harbor or harbors, and thus a bombardment must be considered. The bombardment of New York would create financial panic which would re- act especially strongly on Hamburg and Bremen. Hence we are vitally interest ed"
 The authorities here and the public also are greatly concerned about pri- watering, although it Is not believed that the United States will sanction it.
 The Cologne Gazette in an article, which was directly inspired by the Government and mainly addressed to Spain. has strongly denounced priva- teering as being piracy, adding that Germany under no circumstances will submit to have vessels under her flag searched for contraband of war or otherwise molested by privateers.
 On the other hand. the officials of the Spanish Embassy admit that Spain in- tends to do as much damage as possible to the United States by privateering. One of the officials said: War is war, and every means allowed by usage will be employed by the Spanish if this unjust war is forced upon us."

BRITISH STEAMER STOPPED
 FROM LOADING COAL.
Not Permitted by the Federal Au- thorities to Carry Fuel to Cape
 Verde Islands.

NORFOLK, Va, April 16.-The Brit ish steamship Hampstead, Captain Bland, was stopped from loading coal on Friday at Lambert Point, when it was found that she was loading for St. Vincent, Cape Verde Islands, at which port two of Spain's cruisers are now lying, and that the flying squad ron, under Captain Schley was being delayed in it's coaling until this cargo of 5000 tons could be completed.
 Evidently nasty wires worked be- tween Norfolk, New York and Wash ington, and after short time the load ing was resumed and the full carge un- ished. But the steamer did not go. Or ders for hor indefinite stay were re- ceived, and to-day Catain BlaEl took his clearance papers to the customs house here and delivered them up.
 The naval inspection board paid a visit to the Hampstead and thoroughly inspected her, and the chief engineer evidently voiced the satisfaction and decision of the board when, on leaving the vessel, he remarked to one of the officers, Keep yourselves perfectly easy. Your ship won't leave Norfolk. |" Captain Bland said tonight, T con- sider the vessel as good as accepted by the United States"

BOSTON, April 16.-Hon. w. J. Bryan was the guest of Boston to-day. Aftsr breakfast, as the guest of the Bimetal- lie League a reception was held at the American House and at o'clock this afternoon banquet was served. Mr Bryan and Hon. Arthur SewaIl of Maine were the guests of honor. Both made speeches. Tonight MT. Bryan and MT. Sewall addressed 15,O0O persons in Mechanics Hall, MT. Bryan making the principal speech and discussing bi- metallism. Both were cheered to the echo when they entered the hall, ac- companied by George Fred Williams.
 MT Bryan, referring to the Cuban question, said he realized that in time of international complications We should forget for a time party ques- tions and rally to the support of na- tional honor (Great applause). He then read a bulletin which had just been handed him, announcing the pas sage of the Turpie Cuban recognition resolution by the Senate. This an- nouncement caused the widest en- thusiasm, and as MT. Bryan waved a silken Cuban flag which had been thrown to him men and women all over the hall cheered and yelled their in dorsement of the Senate's action.

FOREIGN SHIPS SERVED FIRST. Coal Contractor at Fort Monroe fingers Naval
 Officers. Flying Squadron Compelled to Wait for Hours for Its
 Supplies. In the Meantime British Tramp Collier Takes on Full
 Cargo.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

FORT MONROE, Va, April 16.- Much indignation was expressed among the officers of the flying squadron to- day at the action of the Norfolk con- tractors who furnish coal to the Gov ernment vessels. All morning and un- til o'clock this afternoon, the Brook lyn, Texas and Massachusetts waited for coal to be served them. This coal had been ordered at 4 o'clock yester- day afternoon when the squadron ar. rived here, and should have been de- livered by o'clock. Telephone mes- sages seemed to have no effect, and if sudden orders had come the fleet would have had to put to sea without a suffi- cient complement of fuel.
 When it was announced that the con- tractors had been busily engaged load ing 5000 tons of coal on the English tramp steamer Hampstead, destined for St. Vincent, Cape Verde Islands, where the Spanish torpedo fiotilla is as- sembled officers expressed their opin- ion freely. When the coal lighter ar rived off the Brooklyn, Commodore Schley asked if it was true that the English vessels had sailed with coal. and was informed that it had not, but was loading.
 A nall hour after Commodore Schley had received his report, an Eng fish tramp steamer, supposed to be the Hampstead, and heavily laden, went to sea, dipping it's colors to each yes sel of the fleet as she passed. A ru- mor that the Government has issued an order for stopping the transport of coal was prevalent, but naval afficers agreed that the sale of the coal to any vessel flying foreign flag could not be de- nied or restricted until a state of war was declared and coal made a contra band article.
 The Sioux, one of the tugboats of the mosquito 1otilla, newly converted, reached here last night and anchored near the squadron. It's commander, a naval cadet, reported to Commodore Schley that the boat was not in sea- worthy condition. it's boiler not being set to stand the heavy seas. The yes sel was caught in a very heavy gale, and came near being wrecked The engineer of the Brooklyn ordered some improvements made and Commodore Schley said to the young commander:
 Never mind, my boy; when you get to fighting, you'll look over these trou- bles as mere nothings."
 All the vessels of the squadron will be cOaled by noon tomorrow.
