MADRID, June 26.-The arrival Of
the Spanish fleet at Port Said causes
no surprise here, Admiral Camara
having announced that he was going
to the Philippines.
The threat Of the American govern
ment to attack the Spanish coast has
had no effect. A third squadron is pre-
pairing for the defense Of the coast.
