MOVEMENT ON CUBA.
Belief It Will Be Deferred For Inev-
liable Naval Battle.

Tampa, Fla, May At appears to be
an almost settled belief among army Off
GERS here that no movement of United
States troops toward Cuba will take
place until after the meeting of the Span
ish flotilla with Rear Admiral Simpsons
squadron, which is now believed to be in
evitable. Nevertheless, everything pos
sible is being. done to put the United
States troops in readiness for immediate
shipment.
Plans for division hospitals and the
allotment of surgeons were practically
completed today. The First infantry. one
of the regiments which will be landed in
Cuba, was put through the emergency
entertainment drill throwing up en-
pans or whatever was convenient. and
long practice marches in heavy marching
order were given other regiments.
Preparations for the landing of a large
force of native CubanS at some point in
Cuba within convenient reach of General
Gomez's army are being pushed as fast
as possible. How large force ii will be
is uncertain. The Cuban recruiting Off
ces that have been opened here are fairly
overwhelmed with applications for en-
listment and it is very probable that close
to 1,500 men will be armed and ready for
service under the banners of Gomez be-
fore the end of the week Most of the
camp have already had considerable mill
tary training. Their number is being
constantly increased by arrivals from
New York. Jacksonville and other re-
cruiting points.
Two or three United States naval Off
GERS. thoroughly familiar with the Cuban
coast. are now in Tampa for the purpose
of escorting the Cuban expedition to
Cuba and will remain with il until the
juncture with Gomez is effected.

Fight to Bitter End.
Madrid. May 4-Public attention
centered again today in 5he congress
dover house of parliamenD. There
was repetition of the great crowds of
yesterday, the police and civil guards,
besides the secret police, mingling with
the people.
The galleries of the house were pack
ed and many ladies were present. Sew
eral prominent senators occupied seats
besides deputies on the floor of the
chamber
Senior .Reverter, minister of finance
in the Canovas ministry, and the hero
of the communication incident last
autumn, defended the memory and pol
icy of Senior Canovas.
Senior Canalejas, editor of Ell Heraido,
replying, dwelt upon the weakness and
vacillation of the government of Can
ovas which fostered Yankee boldness."
The principal speech was delivered
by Senior Romero V Robledo, former
minister of justice and leader of the
Weylerite party, who maintained that
America fostered the Cuban rebellion
and meant war from the commence

Senior Moret's policy of autonomy, he
characterized as a farce and as abso-

they did not desire autonomy, and as
for the rebels. that they never intended
to accept it.
THE present conflict" he continued,
proves the real intention of the Yam
KEGS. Spain must now face her inter-
national enemy, and she should not
waste a single peseta to give the Gu
bans autonomy which would be a step
toward independence. 1t requires the

In the course of the debate, a formal
promise was made on behalf of the
old conservatives to support the gov
eTnment while the present situation
continues.

THOSE who are best informed as to

Those who are best informed as to
the governments view, allege that if the
Spanish arms suffer another reverse like
that at Cavite, the government would in
formally request the great powers to lend
their services to arrange the best posi-
bic terms of peace. Many Liberals con-
slider that Spain, having maintained her
honor, and justified her chivalry, can now
afford to yield to superior force, but it is
doubtful if the public would approve of
this line of action.
Il, am assured that the government
would be content to cede Cuba to the
United States, but would not pay in
demnity, because unable. WeIl-informed
politicians here regard the war as prac-
tically terminated, and that toward the
end of May it viii become history. What
will follow. however. it is difficult to fore
see: All the elements of a long civil war
in Spain are unfortunately becoming Wis
ible. The government and the Liberal
party are popularity hated as being re-
sponsible for the war. The Republicans
possess no durable chances of success.
The Conservatives and Carlists are the
real authorities of the future and some
of the Conservative groups are gravitat
ing toward Carlism. The economic ques-
ton. however, will come to the front first,
for hunger cannot wait

Washington, May 4.-The nomination
today of number of major generals
and brigadier generals is indicative of
the presidents intention to avail him
self of the full number of troops called
for by his proclamation, and even to
follow the call by another very soon,
for it is evident that there are not
enough commands to go around prop
erly among the offivers already nomi-
mated.
Secretary Roosevelt today received
several gratifying kilograms from the
west announcing the rapid organization
of Colonel Woods regiment of mounted
rif1emen.
Major Brodie telegraphed from Pres
colt, Ariz., that at p. m today the
four troops of the regiment recruited in
Arizona would leave for San Antonio,
Tex, the mobilizing point.
From New Mexico came a telegram
stating that $50 men had been enlisted
today. and that they would leave Fri
day fer San Antonio, and the troops
organized at Guthrie, Okla, sent word
that it would leave tomorrow for the
rallying point.
Besides Major Brodie, Major Jersey
of New Mexico. has been appointed,
of major in the regiment. Applica-
tons for enlistment are coming i'll from
the west in large numbers, but the most
rigid tests of qualification are being
insisted upon.
ARMY OF TEN THOUSAND.
Teiegraphic orders have been sent to
San Francisco to engage nine steamers
of the Pacific Mail company which
on
army of 10000 men. Arrangements
have also been made to send supply
of coal, if Dewey should ask for it, but
it is understood that there are 10000
tons at Manila at least, and good
grounds to believe that the supply is
much greater. Just back of Fort Ca
vite is a dock with abundant apparatus
for ordinary ship repairs.
The principal problem, therefore, is
to send enough men to garrison the
city and it is believed that 10000 well
equipped American troops will be sutfi-
Gent for this purpose.
FROM MOUNTAIN STATES.
Should it be decided finally by the
president to send troops to assist Com
modore Dewey to hold Manila, the war
department officials say that the small
number of regular soldiers available
are ready to move 1t is thought, how
ever, that if troops are sent, they will
be made up largely from the volunteer
forces that could be concentrated at
San Francisco from the various states
west of the Rocky mountains. Such
regular troops as might be available
are several companies of the Four
tenth regiment. stationed at Vancou-
yer barracks (the larger portion of this
regiment being in Alaska); the Eighth
cavalry. at Fort Meade, S. D.; the
Fourth cavalry. some of which are at
Vancouver and others in California,
and the Third artillery. also located on
the coast.
It is believed, however, that the Off
Gals would be disinclined to part with
the artillery. as it may be needed for
the defense of the Pacific coast, and
they do not think it at all likely that
cavalry would be sent, because of the
great expense entailed in the shipment
of the t~rses. and the lack of trans
portation facilities.

The Marquis Corralbo told me today
that there is no truth in the report of a
Carlist rising in Cataden and that even
the local governor had declared it a Re
publican rising. The marquis said in ad-
dition that Don Carlos was still at Brus-

lo--aily adhere 10 the manifesto of their

Price of Bread.
Madrid May 4, 8 D. m.-The situa-
ton in the provinces is unchanged, and
everywhere the dissatisfaction is grow
ing, especially over the. price of bread
Acts against authority are becoming
mere and more overt. At Caceres, cap

At Talavera. the rioters were most
determined, sacking many bakeries and
setting fire TO several government
buildings.
In the town of Aguilar, in the prov
ince of Murcia, mob, mostly women,
burned the store houses and offices.
The fishermen who broke out against
the octori dues at Gijon, received the
most determined assistance from the
tobacco girls. Together they sacked
several bakeries, and burned all the
octroi offices. with all the papers be-
longing to the foreign ships loading in
the harbor. The civic guard was holly
stoned at the prison, and the mob
marched off with the iron bars of the
Jail When the troops appeared they
were stoned, replying with fire, and
wounding many. The mob then walked
to the government buildings and
smashed the windows. The troops again
fired. this time from the balconies, and
wounded many. but the women kept on
throwing stones.
The Jesuit house was attacked, be-
cause IT was supposed that grain was
stored there. The troubles are expected
TO increase.
