MONTGOMERY IL WITHDRAWN,
hut the Change Was Not Made In Answer
to spanish Protest,

to spanish Protest.
A Washington special of Wednes
day says: Spain has protested against
our naval display in Cuban waters and
has asked what our preparations mean.
The protest WIS the outcome of the
first official visit of Senior Bernardo to
the state department since his recep-
ton there.
Assistant Secretary of State Day de-
clined to give n definite response to
the Spaniard regarding the continued
preparation of war vessels in Cuban
waters, but in reply to the question as
to why we were buying war ships i'll
foreign waters he is reported as say
| ing:
1--WE are purchasing war vessels In foreign
waters to take the place OF the batHeshfp
that was lost in foreign waters"
No one believes at the capital for .
moment that SPANS demand that we
withdraw our ships from Havana will
he met. II has become evident that
the prediction made by Quesada that
Spain would try to delay matters fur
ther by more promises of autonomy,
were well founded. There is now
hardly any doubt that the new minis
ter's special mission to this country Is
10 secure our cooperation in new
autonomy scheme for Cuba.
The Spanish minister's request for
the United States TO withdraw our
ships from Havana is based on this
plan. The United States is informed
that the presence of battleships in
Cuban ports is hindrance to Spain
in carrying out her program Of per-
fecting autonomy. The official replies
OF this country to these requests have
not yet been made, but it is not
thought that they will be such as to
propitiate Spain or further ieopardize
the interests Of the Cuban insurgents.
The Fern sailed for Havana from
Key West Wednesday afternoon. She
goes to relieve the Montgomery rs o
home for the officers engaged in super
yising the wrecking operations in
Havana harbor. 1t may be stated I'm.
equiyocally that the Montgomery is
not withdrawn owing to any sugges.
ton from Spanish sources that her
presence is not desired.
1t was the announced intention OF
Secretary Long when the cruiser was
sent to Havana to keep her there only
so long as the Fern should be engaged
in the work of distributing relief
among the sufferers Of eastern Cuba.
This task having been performed and
owing to the return of the court of in
quiry from Havana, there being fewer
persons to accommodate, the Fern,
which is much better equipped than
the Montgomery to assist in the wreck
ing operations, is returned to her posi-
ton.
