Special to the Indlanapolis journal.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, April PA new
sensation in the receivership proceedings Of
the Terre Haute Street-railway Company
has been created by circular letter of in
vitation for a meeting of creditors here next
Tuesday. The letter is signed by the First
National Bank, Stanley Electric Company.
Western Electric Company, American cleo
trio works, Illinois Steel Company and the
John A. Roebling Company, of Chicago. It
is said in the circular that the affairs of the
company are much involved and that there
is need Of an investigation of the cause OF
this condition. 1t is also said that some
bonds put up as collateral have been sold
for nearly nothing, thus unduly swelling
the liabilities, which were shown to be
about $1,200,00O at the time the receiver was
appointed. 1t is remarked i'll the circular
that the real Indebtedness may be less than
100000, but that it may be considerably in
creased by the sale at low prices Of $4,000
in bonds held as collateral for $4,000 bor-
rowed money. The proposed investigation
is to cover the period of Russell Harrison's
management.

WHITE HOUSE GUARDS.
All Public Capital buildings to Be
Protected in a Few Days.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-A military
guard win be placed at the White House in
a few days. This has been definitely set
tied, but none of the details of the arrange
ments are known. Colonel Bingham, super
intendent of public buildings and grounds,
will have charge of the guard, and such
others as may be placed at the public
buildings. A conference was held to-day
between Major Moore, superintendent of
police, and Chief WillIie, of the United
States Secret Service, in regard to a civil
guard at the White House. The force
around the grounds will be largely increased
and many detectives in citizens clothes
will be placed on duty. Every precaution
will be taken to protect the President from
any possible danger.
Torpedoes and mines are being planted in
the Potomac river below Washington. They
are being put there as a safeguard in case
of an emergency, and the exact locations
of the mines are being kept secret. The
majority of the work Is being done by night,
and is being pushed forward with an eye
to the possible contingency of a hostile
fleet attempting to she'll the capital.

THE QUEEN REGENTS APPEAL.
An Incident at the Opening Of the
COrtes on Wednesday.

COrtes on Wednesday.
LONDON, April PA belated Madrid dis
patch to the Times, describing yesterdays
scenes in the Cortes, says: THE Queen Re-
gent wore an elegant helitrope costume,
with deep white lace and heliotrope plumes.
The Queens and the Kings thrones were
simple velvet covered arm chairs. The
Queens voice, which was low at first,
showed traces of strong emotion, and as she
proceeded it grew louder and firmer. The
passage which created the deepest impress
sion was the one in which her Majesty iden-
titled herself with the nation and referred
to her son. Her Majesty then said: thus
identifying, herself with the nation, / not
only fulfill the oath l swore in accepting the
regency, but I follow the dictates of moth
er's heart, trusting to the Spanish people 10
gather behind my sons throne and to defend
1t until he is old enough to defend 1t MINI
self as we'll as trusting to the Spanish peo-
pie to defend the honor and territory OF the
nation
THAT stirring call to the hereditary nation
al loyalty took the audience by storm. on
all sides rose shouts of Long live the kingn
Long live Spanish Cubar The little King
looked proudly at his mother and smiled
and the look was returned with affectionate
tenderness by the Queen. The Queen EVIL
IDENTIFY had difficulty in restraining her emo
lions, for in uttering the next few words
her voice trembled. But she soon recov-
cred her composure and proceeded with the
calm, courageous self-possession which she
has always displayed at moments of difficult
ty and danger. In listening to the response
evoked by these words of confidence, one
could not but feel that the confidence
was mutual, and that the coming struggle,
may awaken the chivalrous devotion of the
Spanish people to the woman who has iden-
titled herself with them and who is as keen
for the national honor and as soltcitous or
the national interests as the most patriotic
of her native-born subjects"

>tl AT THE CANAR1Es.
RumOr that the Stars and Stripes
Were TramnIed IInon.

LONDON. April A.-Mail news which has
Just been received here from the Island Of
Grand Canary. one of the Canary islands
group, says that up to April II, 5000 Span
fish troops had arrived there, and 1000 more
were expected that day.
When the mails closed 1t was rumered at
the Grand Canary that the stars and stripes
over the United States consulate had been
torn down by the rabble and trampled upon
1t was added that when the United States
consular agent (Mr Thomas Miller), who is
a British subject, wanted to send a cable
message to Washington announcing the ar
rival OF the troops his message was stopped
and he was informed by the military au-
thoritieS that if the incident had occurred
in war time he would have been shot.
According to an account of banquet held
at Las Palmas and published in a Spanish
paper, one of the speakers declared that if
Americans landed in Grand Canary island
the streets of the town would be barri-
caded with the bodies of foreigners. The
general feeling, however, according to the
mail advices, appears to be friendly to for
eigners.
me militia of the Canary islands has been
modified and fifty officers were then COM
ing from Spain to drill these troops. The
being so intense that the inhabitants were
panic-stricken when a foreign war ship
Unexpectedly entered the harbor. She was
saluted by the forts and the people thought
a bombardment of the place had com
menced.
No war vessels of Spain had arrived at

THE POPULACE MARCHING.
Spaniards Tearing Down All United
States Signs on Buildings.

MADRID, via Paris, April 22-The demon
strators last evening (Thursday) hoisted the
Spanish flag over the Office of the Equitable
Life Insurance Companys building and re-
placed the American shield by another, in
dicating that the edifice had been hypothe~
Gated in favor Of the company's insurers.
They then moved to other buildings bear
ing the signs of the United States, all of
which were either taken down or will be
taken down tomorrow. The crowd then
visited the railway station ard gave a
tremendous ovation to q couple or Depart
ing battalions of marines. From this point
they went to the Military Club as already
cabled.
At the moment this dispatch leaves the
city for Paris the manifestants are making
an imposing demonstration, six thousand
strong and headed by national flags. The
is now divided into two professions. The
first is moving to the French embassy to
express gratitude to France for taking
charge of Spanish affairs in Washington.
The second, numbering five thousand, is
moving towards the National Theater,
which is crowded. Vast throngs are on the
outside unable to get admission. The scene
within was quite imposing Senior Aguilera,
the civil Governor, addressed the audience,
counseling citizens 10 dispense, since they
had had "a free opportunity to demon
strate." The crowd redoubled ''vivas" and
left the theater slowly. Those outside finally
dispersed, still shouting "ViVa ESpana,' and
Death to the Yankees"

NOTIFIED FROM MADRID.
BIancO Ordered to Look Out for
United States Troops at Matanzas.


LONDON. April 22-The Madrid CORE
spondent OF the Daily Mail, telegraphing
Thursday night, says: Governor General
Banco has been instructed to expect the
landing of American troops at Matanzas or
Santiago de Cuba, which will be a base of
operations in connection with the naval sta
ton at Key West. He is also instructed to
be prepared for an attack on Porto Rico
by the American flying squadron now at
Hampton Roads.
Senior Sailvela to-day said that the Amer
lean ultimatum was the best thing under
the circumstances that could happen to
Spain She is strong on the sea. and has
been three years consuming her strength in
a land war. Fighting the Cubans is too
much like fighting Spaniards to call up the
spirit of the country.
ITO fight Americans is another matter
Spain could strike heavy blows, provided
she could strike rapidly. 1t was impossible
to say how the crisis would end, but it was
better to die honorably on the field of bat
tie than to perish ignobly.
'It becomes known that the Queen Re-
gent gave an audience to the papal nuncio
on the day following the voting Of the reso-
lutions. She was calm, but melted into tears
the Pope, who congratulated her upon her
prudence, courage and wisdom in watching
for the guidance of Providence in events as
they arose. She told the nuncio she felt
that war was a crime, except when it was
forced upon a nation. In her dealings with
the United States she had tried, she said
most earnestly never to be in the wrong.
Finally she thanked God that the war was
the doing of the American Congress. She
and her advisers were free on that score
from every reproach Of conscience"
1T is being said by the Carlists' agents
abroad that the powers fear the dynasty
must fall in the event Of a naval defeat. In
reply TO this it may be said that the royal
family were never so popular as they are
now.
1.-The government refuses to receive the
American ultimatum by way Of protesting
against American interference in Spanish
affairs and not to show any resentment at
the scant courtesy of the American execu-
tive and Congress.
"A special messenger has arrived from
Vienna, where the Emperor has been in
favor of diplomatic good offices in favor of
Spain, while some of his ministers have
been against such action. He was opposed

SPANS WEAKNESS.
Will BE Short of Coal and Food If
Her Ships Come West.

Her SHIPS Come west
LONDON, April PA dispatch to the
Daily Telegraph from Barcelona, via Paris,
says: Grave apprehensions are entertained
in the highest government circles that the
issue of may be decided not by valor
and enthusiasm and logged perseverance,
qualities of which the Spaniards possess an
abundance. but by reserves of coal and vic
tuals. of which they have made but a scanty
provision in Cuba. 1t appears that in re-
spect of coal in particular they are worse
off than they have hitherto imagined. The
Spanish government, firmly believing down
to the very last moment that peace would
be preserved through the intercession of the
Pope and the powers, neglected to lay in
sufficient provision OF coal, despite the rep
reservations made to them by one or two
far-seeing naval officers. Besides this, it Is
believed they never once inquired of the
British or other neutral governments wheth-
err coal would be regarded as contraDand or
war. The result is said to be state of
things which may be fraught with unpleas-
ant surprises and bring hostilities to pre-
mature end.
Those in the secret were anxious to
overthrow the Cabinet on other grounds be-
fore the beginning of war, for patriotic con-
slderations forbade a public discussion of
the country,s weak point on the evening OF
hostI1tleS. The short time allowed Tor the
deliberations of Parliament rendered this
intention difficult of execution, and the Lib
eral Cabinet which conducted the negotia-
tions will be allowed to bear the RESPONSE
hility for the results during a conflict. This
alarming story comes from an excellent
source, quite above all suspicion, even of
hostility to the Cabinet. II as | fear,
events should demonstrate its truth, the
close or the war may also ne the end not
only of the Liberal government, but of
much else which is infinitely more worthy
which enjoys the sympathy of all Europe.

ment and there were many speculations as
TO the destination of the Spanish squadron.
One suggestion was that it was heading to
cut off the fine battle ship Oregon, now on
its way from the Pacific coast to join Capt.
SIMPSONS command. There is also some
fear that the Oregon may be taken at an
unfair advantage without knowledge Of the
existence of war by the Spanish torpedo
destroyer Temmerire, which is now lying at
Buenos Ayres. Possibly, with view to
avoiding a conflict in the Straits of Ma
gelian, where she would be at a disadvan-
tage, the Oregon has been ordered to go
around Cape Horn.
Relative to the news that GENES from Chi
cago that the three revenue cutters on the
lakes cannot be availed of for naval pur-
poses, 1t is said at the Navy Department
that the department had some time ago
abandoned the idea of using these craft,
owing to the difficulties in getting them
out to the Atlantic seaboard. 1t was, how
ever, denied that any international obstacle
had been encountered in the shape of no.
tice from the Canadian government that the
passage of the ships would not be permitted.
The little Bancroft, now at Boston, has
been placed under command of Captain
Clover. who will meet the ship at Norfolk
within few days and take it to Key West.
In the War Department many orders flew
to and fro relative to the concentration Of
troops in the South, and Secretary Alger
was several times in consultation with the
President, owing to the determination TO
call for 100000 volunteers as soon as Con-
gross passes the necessary legislation.

ON TO HAVANA.
Important Movement Decided ON at
the Cabinet Meeting.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-The Cabinet
held special meeting this afternoon to
discuss a number of questions, all of which
involve almost immediate hostilities. 1t
was decided to send the North Atlantic
squadron to Havana from Key West. The
decision to send the fleet was guarded as
closely as possible. Hurried orders were
dispatched to the fleet at the Cabinet meet
ing to establish a blockade of the entrance
of the harbor of Havana Immediately. The
fleet later on will be supported by troops,
who will be dispatched to Cuba as soon as
in the opinion of the President, it
is possible to use them advanta-
geously in the occupation of the
island Meanwhile, as rapidly as troops
can be rushed to Key West and other points
on the south Atlantic and gulf coasts they
will be hurried forward. 1t is believed that
it will take ten days to concentrate at the
coast an army of sufficient size. with the
necessary supplies, to make effective
campaign. 1t is the purpose to gather
these troops and then make a sharp de-
cisive movement. Immediately on the
passage of the army volunteer bill by Con-
sreSs the President, by proclamation, will
call for 100000 men. OF this force it is in
tended to use $4,000 men in Cuban opera
lions in conjunction with the regular army
now already assembled or assembling at
points of concentration. The remaining 20
900 men will aid the artillery detachments
in guarding the seacoast and manning the
heavy guns of our coast defense.
Great difficulty was experienced in learn
ing the details of the operations, and Secre-
tary Long refused when seen even to adj
init that orders had been sent to the fleet
but subsequently confirmation was OBJ
tanned of a rumor that orders had been sent
to Key West With respect to the flying
squadron at Hampton Roads no information
was Obtainable.
During the session kilograms were read
to the effect that the Spanish fleet was still
at the Cape Verde islands. On the question
of prdvateering the Cabinet from the first
has been unit in opposition to it unless
that course should be forced upon us by
the action of Spain. The President is
strongly opposed to this So-called system
of robbery on the high seas, and unless he
is driven to that extremity in retaliation
the legitimate commerce of the world, so
far as this country is concerned, will be as
safe after actual hostilities begin as now.
