the naval attache, asked the repre-
sentative Of the Associated Press to
make known his view on the war about
to be opened. He said the Spanish peo-
pie. particularly members Of the army
and navy, had always entertained the
most cordial feeling toward America,
and Spanish ships had found 1t a pleas
ure to salute ships Of the American
navy. Now, however, a war was being
precipitated by an attack upon Spain's
honor, and against this every spark of
Spanish loyalty would be aroused.
1T is no longer a question of retain
ing Cuba" said Lieutenant de Carantha.
That was merely a question OF terri
tory. Now a higher purpose is In view
the honor and dignity of Spain-since
the United States has contemptuously
ordered Spain to vacate Cuba, and has
made the Infamous charge that We are
responsible for the murder of the poor
men of the Maine. These orders and
charges are made with a kick Of the
boot. and against such action Spain will

resist TO the uttermost. There should
be no mistake about this. History has
recorded that even the leglons OF Ma
poleon, with 100000 men bearing the
triumphs of all Europe, were halted
and retired from Spain after those
legions had lost between 100000 and 3O0,-
900 men.
I'VE recognize the gallantry OF the
American navy and the notable heroes
OF its past-Paul Jones. Farragut. Por-
ter-but Spain, too has her heroes. and
their blood is in the veins OF those now
called upon 10 defend her honor.
speak after recently talking with my
naval associates, commanders Of Span
ish ships and OF torpedo boats. and I
know that there is but one sentiment.
namely. that not one Spanish ship shall
be taken. Your navy may send many
OF them 70 the bottom; superior forces
may seek TO annihilate them: but not
one Spanish ship will surrender to the
American navy. With honor at stake
that will be the response OF the navy

has orders to sail. The feet will
depend on the fast cruisers to
keep it posted on the enemy's
movements.
Spain Sewers Diplomatic Relations.
Madrid, April 22.-Spain has
broken Of diplomatic relations with
the United States.
The delivery Of the ultimstum to
Polo at Washington has been &C.

nouncement, and passports were i'm.
mediately sent to Woodford. and

tions in West Indian waters. This
was the work cut out some time ago
for Schley. There is not so much
certainty now that the flying squad
ron will 20 to Porto Rico. The more
recent movements and non.move-
ments of Spanish warships have
prompted suspicious in the minds of
strategists. Is this defenseless con-
dition of Porto Rico the bait OF O.
trap? That is one of the questions
they are asking themselves. Is it in

1000 miles to the southeast and leave
the North Atlantic coast unprotected

coast deienses at the principal ports?
Spain cannot let Cuba 90 and do
nothing. That will mean revolution
and the overthrow Of the dynasty.
But Spain might safely throw Cuba
away if at the same time her fleet
could make o bold demonstration
against an American city. say New
York. or more probably Philadelphia.
This would give the people Of Spain
something to crafty their pride.
The more the strategy board studies
the tactical situation and the dispo-
sition Of Spain's fleet. the stronger
grows the theory that the enemy has
in contemplation q rush northwest
erly across the Atlantic and an at.
tack on the coast somewhere between
Hampton Roads and Boston. The
dispatch Of the flying squadron to-
ward Porto Rico might play into the
hands Of the Spaniards If such q
game is in contemplation. The
plans Of the strategy board are nm
dergoing changes in view Of thil
new theory of the Spanish intention.

NAVAL BOARD Is VERY BUSY.

Times which Tax the Ability Of strats-
gisss ct Washington.
Washington. April 21.-The naval
board Of strategists on whom de-
pends much Of the calculating and
foresight in the sea moves of the
nation, finds plenty to occupy the
members these days. Much advan-
tsge has been gained through the
acquisition of Rear Admirals Walker
and Sicard, retired. There has been
much lin the recent movements
Of Spain's fleets that is mys-
tifying. and many speculative
posi- bilities have arisen. Spain,
convinced Of her inability to
Withstand forcible Intervention by
the United States, may have with
drawn her ships for safety to the
other side. with the expectation that
Cuba will fall easily before the
American invasion. So far as Cuba
10 concerned the strategists believe
Spain now means to let it 60 by de-
fault. The members of the strategy
board can not bring themselves te
believe that the Spanish;plan OF cam
psign is the virtual surrender OF Cubs
without . counter blow OF some
kind. Porto Rico has been left IL
even worse condition than Cuba
Three days steaming from Hamptor
Roads will take Schley there, and th'
destruction Of the coaling stationl
will leave Spain no base for opera
