THE NEXT MOVE IN CUBA.
Autonomy Must he Pressed by Mil
a itary Measures.

New York, March "a dispatch to the
Tribune from Havana says:
When arms failed, Spain fell back on
politics to gain peace in Cuba. Now that
politics has failed she seeks to fall back
on arms.
This is in the meaning of the declara-
tion from Madrid that Sagasta has de-
cided to press autonomy vigorously by
both military and political measures. 1t
is the minister's confession of the failure
of the radical autonomists to reach the
insurgents with their II articles of weak
ened faith Had there been hope of sue
cess for the opening of negotiations with
Gomez on this basis the Madrid cabinet
would have temporized and evaded a posi-
tive declaration. There being no hope the
prospective rejection by the insurgents OF
terms offered is discounted by disavowal
in advance.

Twenty-Fourth Infantry Prepared.
CAN BUY WARSHIPS ABROAD
Mckinley Directs Negotiations for
the Purchase of Eight Vessels.

New York, March IA Herald special
from Washington says;
Fully recognizing the Importance of be-
ing ready for any emergency the presi-
dent has directed the navy department
TO open negotiations looking to the pur-
chase abroad of warships. This fact is for
the first time made public. 1t probably
would not have transpired at this june
ture but for the excitement caused by
the statement published that Spain had
purchased or was negotiating for warships
being built by the Elswick company OF
England for Brazil, and for other ships
under construction.
With view of obtaining the facts your
correspondent called upon a high official
of the administration and obtained an
official admission-made for the first time
that, while the president does not anti
cipate war, he recognizes that there is .
possibility of hostilities growing out 81
the Cuban problem and the Maine disas
ter, and that he proposes to be prepared
for it.
There has been ample evidence of this
in the preparations, patent to everybody
which have been in progress for somt
time, but there has been no official ad
mission to this effect until now.
The builders have urged that the pur
chases be made at once, as they say tina
a declaration of war between the United
States and Spain would result in the ell
forcement of neutrality measures and pre-
vent the sale of the ships.
The battleships and armored cruiser
have been built by English and German
firms for governments which are now un
able TO pay for them, and this govern
ment would be able to obtain the vessel
by simply putting down the amount 0
cost. The four torpedo boats have beer
offered by the Thornycroft Shipbuildin!
Company, whose boats are recognized b!
experts to he among the best in the world

YUKON TRANSPORTATION.
All the Big Companies Combine TO
shut on Competition.

Chicago; March Chicago capitalists
who are identified with the Northwest
transportation and Trading Company,
have launched a new Yukon enterprise
with the purpose of obtaining control of
the immense trnffic of the Yukon river
between St. Michaels and Dawson City.
Seven distinct companies, with an ag-
gregate capital of $4,000, were incorpo-
rated at Springfield today. They are:
The Healy. the Klondike, the Weare, the
Cudahy, the Powers, the Hamilton, and
the Barr transportation companies. The
incorporators are Robert S. Pettibone,
George j. Douglas and Carolyn Bertree.
Pettibone says the purpose of the new
company is to buy steamboats, and barges
on the Yukon and operate them.

two cruisers of similar type which have
been building in France for Brazil. The
Amazonus is ready for launching and her
sister ship will soon be ready.
The Spanish government is also endeav-
oring to secure guns and large supplies of
ammunition in England and the continent
for immediate use. The government OF
Spain seems to have funds, for it is under
stood TO be paying a large part of the pur-
chase money in cash, giving good security
for the balance, these being the only terms
upon which the Armstrong; would deal.
Some weeks ago Spain attempted to
purchase ships and supplies in England on
credit from prominent firms having close
relations with the government but, after
inquiries, the firms refused credit. Since
then Spain has raised funds from unknown
sources Diplomats in London express
the belief that French financiers are help
ing the Spanish government.
1t is known that Spain is trying to pur-
chase three other ships being built by the
Armstrong;, but she has not yet succeed
ed in making the bargain, consequently
there is still time if the United States
wishes to forestall her.

Sunday before. a few hours of walking
through the camp ana watching the drills
satisfied them yesterday.
AT the regfmental headquarters the ofil-
GERS all day entertained visitors. and at bfi-
gade headquarters crowd was constantly
about the entrance. The orderlies We're
kept busy informing the staff officers that
there was some one outside to see them
for no one was allowed to enter the head
quarters unless he had pass, was connect
ed with the camp or was passed by the
guard by an officer. Early in the afternoon
the amphitheater became filled with people
who waited more or less patiently until the
hour should drag on when the space circled
by the race track should become occupied
by the soldiers in brigade parade. Visitors
in carriages and on foot banked the track
all around as the hour drew near for the
parade, and when the regiments marched
into the arena the spectators were as strong
in numbers as they were on the Sunday be-
fore.
The road over which the Second Regiment
marched TO the drill grounds, running IN
front of the brigade headquarters, was
lined with people until the regiment passed
VIXEN the crowds broke and hurried to the
trackSide, where they could see the par
ade.
From military standpoint the brigade
parade was an excellent exhibition of what
two weeks of training can do toward con-
verting companies recruited from all points
of a State, the drilling of many of which
had been cursory, into mass of men that
moves like one body at the command of its
leaders The battaliens formed and
marched in review past General Mckee and
his staff with graceful regularity, and when
they marched back to quarters there had
not been an apparent break in the proceed
ing
The greater part of the crowd left the
camp and hurried to the car lines or turned
the horses of their carriages toward the
exits to the grounds. In an hour the camp
had taken on it's appearance on the after
noon of any week day-the great crowds
of visitors were outside of the grounds
struggling to get on the street cars, and as
the evening drew on the groups of outsiders
were indeed sparse. The news spread
through the camp that the boys might leave
in two days, and farewells were spoken as
the visitors left for their homes which
they knew might be the last until the war
is over and the soldiers return to their
homes
