The policy OF this country regarding
foreign complications seems likely to
remain conservative. The Monroe doc
trine. according TO the declaration OF
our leading politicians, will be sustain
ed but patience and prudence In official
quarters will restrain the exuberance
OF public opinion. The wIsest and most
prudent course for the rheumatic and
the malarious is to use Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. which also cures kid
ney complaint and dyspepsia.

NAVAL FORCES.
Plan of Action, in Case of War,
Practically CompIeted

WASHINGTON, April 6.-The plan
of action for the naval forces in the
event of hostilities is now practically
completed as a result of several weeks
constant work on the part of officers
to whom was intrusted this important
feature of the war preparations. While
these plans are naturally most closely
guarded, it may be stated on high au-
thority that one feature of them con-
templates a dash by the flying squad
ron under Commander Schley to the
Canary Islands This proposition is
as yet tentative, as all projects sub
ject and unforeseen must be, but has
the naval authorities.
AS outlined by high naval officer
the plan is that in the event of a
declaration of war the flying squadron,
as now composed, or possibly with the
addition of a few more ships, will inn
mediately sail for the East, having the
Canaries' as it's destination Naval Of
ficials do not think that it would be
a difficult task for so powerful a fleet
to establish a station at that point
and operating from it as a base har-
rass the coast of Spain. From that
point the squadron could not only be
placed advantageously to intercept
Spanish merchantmen, but would be in
a position, should circumstances de-
mand or warrant SO desperate a ven
ture, to attack a seaport. 1t was also
pointed out by this officer that to seize
and hold the Canary Islands would be
a severe blow to Spain inasmuch as
the islands lie between the Cape Verde
Islands and Spain, and in direct line
with the route to Cuba.
Should such a plan be put in oper-
alton, the American fleet in Cuban
waters would be composed of the pres
ent squadron at Tortugas, and such
additional vessels as Guild be spared
from the protection of the coast further
up While there would. of course said
this officer, be a certain amount OF
danger in removing the flying squadron
so far from home, it was felt that
circumstances might arise which would
justify the dash to the Canaries hence
the plan,was among those considered
by the department. though, of course
not as definitely decided upon.
The record-union. [volume] (Sacramento, Calif.) 1891-1903, 1898-04-07

building on which several months work
is necessary before they are completed,
but the Government is not anxious re-
garding these Included in this class
are the three torpedo boats, the armor-
ed cruiser Giuseppe Garibaldi and the
Vareza which a Rome dispatch reports
as having been sold. The torpedo boats,
it is stated have not been con-
tracted for by the United States,
notwithstanding contrary reports, for
the reason that they viii not be finish
ed for from three to five months, and
the United States, therefore, does not
care for them. 1t is probably true, it
is stated at the department. that the
| Garbaldi has been sold to Spain and
the Vareza to Argentina, but as neither
will be finished for several months, this
department prefers not to take the
chances of having them being in foreign
ship yards should hostilities begin be-
fore they are completed. The Vareza
and the Garibaldi are sister ships to
the Cristobal Colon, one of the formid-
able Spanish cruisers now rendezvous
ing at Cadiz The United States had
the opportunity to purchase all the yes
sells mentioned in the Rome dispatch.
The purchase of coal for the Ameri-
can fleet in Chinese waters is simply
in accordance with the desire of the
department to keep full supply on
hand to be ready for any emergency
that may occur
The following ships comprise the Ash
attic squadron: The first-class cruiser
Olympia, the second-class cruisers Bos-
ton and Raleigh, the third-rate cruiser
Monocacy and the gunboat Petrol.
The British ship Nanshan, which the
United States has bought, is collier,
designed to carry coal for the fleet
She had 5000 tons of coal aboard and
is now with the Asiatic squadron. The
Navy Department has added an addi-
tional detail to the naval attaches Of
flee at London. Ensign A B. Hoff,
who is now on duty on the Enterprise
has been detached from that ship and
will go to London as assistant to Lieu
tenant j. c. Colwell who is now Ma
val Attache Lieutenant Colwells duty
of late has been the inspection of ships
with a view to their purchase by the
United States Government.
A telegram was received at the Navy
Department to-day announcing the
departure of the battleship Texas from
New York for Hampton Roads to join
the flying squadron, to which she is
attached. Assistant Secretary RoOse-
welt is much pleased with the present
condition of this vessel. He says that
as a result of the recent improvements
made to her during her stay at the
New York navy yard, her batteries are
nearly three times as effective in rap
idity of fire as formerly. Significant
developments are expected to follow the
arrival of the Texas at Hampton
Roads. The flying squadron under
Commander Schley, will then be fully
organized and ready for any emergency
or course that the department has map
ped out or may map out for it. Naval
officials are very reticent as to orders
to the squadron, but they admit that
the naval strategic board has deter
mined fully upon the use to which it is
to be put.

tions are pursued without break or
molestauion.
The Mascotte arrived here this morn
ing, and Will be loaded on her return
with passengers eager to get to the
United States. The steamers Fern and
Nangrove are still in the harbor, with
no orders, and with no indications of
leaving for the north. 1t is safe to say
that Havana lat this hour, is far quiet
er than Washington, New York or Chi
cago Of course, many business men
have made their preparations TO sus-
pend trading until times are quieter
and the Yexed questions are settled.
News from Congress is naturally await
ed with great anxiety, but no news is
expected until the middle of the after
noon.
Mounted police, contrary to custom,
surround the guard at Central Park,
and are stationed in the neighboring
avenues and at the palace.
Spanish reports from Pinar Del Rio
say that when the reconcentrados left
the capital Of that province yesterday
for the first time four of them were as
sassinated by the insurgents.
The attitude of the public is one OF
quiet expectancy. The order maintain
ed in the city is admirable.
Consul General Lee assured the cor
respondent of the Associated Press that
he had received no instructions to leave
Havana. 1t is reported, however, that
some of the consular records were sent
north by the Mascotte to-day. She is
expected back from Key Wset on Fri
day. On the Bache, Mangrove and
Fern there will be ample accommoda-
lions there to take away all who are
entitled to go.
The C. Lawton Childs Company had
intended to close their business here
to-day, but have reconsidered their de-
cision. That bank and the Hidalgo
Company's bank were crowded during
banking hours to-day.
Tomorrow, Holy Thursday, and the
next day. Good Friday will both be
religiously observed in all quarters.
