It is Practically Completed by Arrival of

 Fort Monroe Va, April 7.--The 1y- ing squadron is ready for action and complete in all details except the pos- sible addition of dispatch boat and a hospital boat. The battleship Texas to-day signalled her arrival and the practical completion of the squadron by the usual salute to Commodore Schley of twelve guns, answered by nine guns from the Brooklyn. The painting of the Minneapolis has been completed. "The Texas" said Captain Phillips to a reporter, lis ready for sea at an hours notice and ready to fight, and, despite rumors to contrary I be- lieve she will show herself to be the worthiest ship on the ocean," The improvement to the turrets of the Texas allows her twelve-inch guns to be fired once in every three minutes instead of formerly once in eight min- utes. The Massachusetts will finish cleaning tomorrow. All of the ships are practically cleared for action.

The Times Cannot See How a Conflict Can
 be Avoided.
 London, April S.-The morning pa pers' editorials on Cuban situation are pessimistic, at the most only hoping that the delay until Monday will en- able some peaceful influence to work.
 The Times cannot see how conflict can be avoiled.
 The Daily News points out that in both America and Spain it is the people and not the rulers who desire war. The special dispatches from the continent to the morning papers likewise record the same feeling of hopelessness of avoiding conflict. Austrian Minister Hengelmuller von Hengervar has cabled from Washington to the Vienna government iii a very unfavorable tone.
 According to a dispatch from Gib- raltar to the Daily Telegraph, Spain has contracted with certain firms for a quantity of English coal for her fleet at Cadiz at the fabulous price of 45 shiIings a ton owing to the Welsh strike.
 A QlSpdIcn IfOn berllH says lle hO- kal Anzeiger publishes conversation with a director of the Hamburg Amer ican steamship line who expressed belief that his company would reap large profits if war broke out. He said he expected that German vessels would get possession of the bulk of the carry ing trade now in the hands of Ameri- cans, whose ships would be exposed to the danger of capture.

CONDITIONS CHANGE AT KEY VEST
Naval Men Believe Conflict at Hand
 Stripped for Action.

Naval Men Believe Conflict at Hand
 Stripped for Action.
 Key West, Fla, April 7.-Conditions here have undergone a decided change within the last twelve hours in conse- quence of the Washington advices as to Consul General Lees approaching departure and the firm attitude of the administration from the disappoint- ment and chagrin that followed yester- days pacific adviceS from Madrid. The latest news has aroused the helilcose spirit to greater degree than ever Naval men believe that conflict is a question of few days only and the long delay has merely increased the ar dor of the men who are constantly in readiness for call to quarters. The enthusiasm is especially marked on board the flagship New York. When the news was conveyed there this af- his customary reticense, but the other officers were confident that it meant hostilitfes unless there should be a complete surrender on the part of Spain.
 Tn case of an attack on the American fleet the navy department has outlined a plan of defense. The small torpedo boats will constitute the first line, the small gunboats second and first and second class battleships third. The Mallory line steamer Comal has ar rived from New York with cargo of provisions and 800 cases of ammunition for the fleet, which has been in process of transfer throughout the day. She brought also several siX-pounders which will be mounted on the Man grove The latter is expected to-day or tomorrow and in event of war, will probably serve as dispatch boat. The Mascotte is expected from Havana to- night with more Americans and the Olivette is also looked for, but it is not known positively whether she is carry ing colored infantry or not. The cruis- CT Detroit returned to-day. Captain Sampson, commander of the fleet, re- ceived orders from Washington yes- terday to be ready to sail at o'clock yesterday afternoon. These orders were countermanded later in the day. When the cruiser Nashville went on patrol tonight she was stripped bare, rails ventilators and stanchions were gone, and she was in perfect fighting trim, ready for any eventuality.

Without a Parallel.

An a1llDaSSaQOr rom one or the great powers of continental Europe stated that it was without a parallel in his tory That it was the first time that six nations of Europe representing in the aggregate the power of civilization, had united iii this solemn manner to secure the peace of the world It was, this high authority stated, a movement historical in character and one fitting to occur on the advent of the twentieth century. Calls at the various embas- sies and legations late in the day show ed that the response of the president had created a most favorable impress sion in foreign powers. The presidents answer was looked upon, to some ex- tent as a counter appeal to the great powers for their cooperation in the cause of humanity. It some diplomatic quarters there was a disposition to read between the lines and to give it a suggestive character beyond the mild phrases adopted. This was not the gen. erally accepted view, however.
 Opinion That War Must Come.
 The opinion in the senate and house is that war must come. Even the most optimistic of the conservative senators have given up hope of a peaceful set clement. A great deal of consideration was given by senators and representa- tives as to the form of action. On this point there is a wide divergence of opinion, but it has assumed two dis tinct propositions. One is the recogni- tion of independence of the island coupled with armed intervention, the other a declaration that Cuba should be free. The desire on the part of those favoring the latter plan is to avoid recognizing thel insurgents and their government, or any government, until after the United States has control of the island. The latter plan is said to be that of the president, the efforts are being made to have it adopted so that there may be no division between the executive and legislative branches of the government. Fear is expressed that there may be a long debate in the senate if some compromise is not agreed upon before the committee on foreign relations makes it's report.
 The Navy Department.
 No new ships were purchased to-day, but the department has directed the board of auxiliary to select two vessels for distilling ships and one collier. The navy department was to-day informed that the state of Maine, New Hamp- shire, Alabama and Texas are taking preliminary steps for the formation of a naval militia. The gunboat Machias to-day sailed from Boston to join Cap tain Sampson's fleet at Key West. An order was issued establishing new na- val rating, that of chief electricians and electricians of the first and second classes their pay being $50 $40 and $35 per month, respectively.
 War Department.
 In the war department matters have assumed normal condition, every thing being in readiness for any condi- tions which may arise. Reports receiv- ed show that up to this time there has been recruited 300 men of the 1,600 need ed to fill the two artillery regiments re- gently organized.
 Secretary Alger has an additional al- lotment of S250,000 for the use of the ordnance bureau, the money to be spent for projectiles.

FOR HARMONIOUS ACTION.
Important Meeting of Hanna and Other
 Republican Senators,


 Washington, April "A number of the leading republican senators, in- cluding Messrs. Allison, Aldrich, Han na and Spooner, most of whom are classed as conservatives, held pro- longed conference to-day after the ad- journment of the senate. The purpose of the meeting was to devise, if possi- ble, a plan whereby the action of the senate on the Cuban situation will be harmonious. The senators desire that whatever position is taken by the sen- ate after the receipt of the presidents message on Monday shall be as near ly unanimous as it is possible to have it, and they are devoting themselves especially to formulating a resolution upon which a general agreement can be secured. This they find to be a diffi- cult task, in view of the fact that the senate divides upon the question of in- dependence. All appear willing to con- cede the necessity for intervention, but there is still persistent opposition to the recognition of the present govern ment
 Some at least of those who take this position have manifested to-day 0 willingness to yield the one point of expressing the opinion that the people of Cuba should be free, but they have taken a decided stand against the recognition of the present Cuban gov ernment, which is, they contend, a de- cidely mythical and unsubstantial in- stitution so far as the people of the United States are informed. Their op- position has settled upon the second of the declarations of the Foraker reso- .lutions which reads as follows: Re solved, That the government of the United States hereby recognizes the re- public tf Cuba as the true and lawful government of that island"
 Most of the conservatives announce themselves willing to accept as com promise the first of the Foraker resolu- tions, which reads That the people of the island of Cuba are, and of right ought to be, free and independent
 They claim, in addition to other ar guments, that to recognize the exist ing government would be to establish bad precedent and that it is far pref erable to declare for the right of free dom and leave to the president the du- ty of recognizing whatsoever govern ment he shall see proper after the Spaniards shall be driven from the is- land.
 The senators who were in conference to-day considered this proposition, to- gether with other suggestions cadcu- lated to secure harmonious action on lines such as they consider wise. They desire above all things that there shall be no friction in the open senate be- fore the world, and they probably will seek to have the form of the resolu- tion determined in secret session, which will have some of the binding effect of a party caucus.
 K, The advocates of the recognition of independence will oppose the change proposed in the Foraker resolution and also will antagonize the plan to decide the question behind closed doors. They claim to have a majority of at least twelve for recognition of the present Cuban government.
