ST. PAUL, FEB. 16.-The first state
ment from the annual report of Insur-
ance Commissioner Dearth has been
completed. 1t covers the business done
by township, mutual and old line fire
insurance companies in this state.
There is falling off in the number of
new policies issued by the township
mutuals, but this is charged to the fact
that each company covers limited
territory, and they all have their re-
spective fields well covered, leaving
little room for new business It is said
that they have practically driven the
old line companies out of the farm fire

These orders and charges are made
with kick of the boot, and against
such action Spain will resist to the
uttermost There should be no mis-
take about this. History has recorded
that even the 1egions Of Napoleon,
with 100000 men, bearing the triumphs
OF all Europe, were halted and retired
from Spain, after those legions had
lost between 100000 and 100000 men.
We recognize the gallantry of the
American navy and the notable heroes
OF Its past, Paul Jones, Farragut, Por-
ter, but Spain, too, has her heroes,
and their blood is in the veins of those
now called upon to defend her honor.
L speak after recently talking with
my naval associates, commanders of
Spanish ships and Of torpedo boats,
and know that there is but one senti-
ment, namely, that not one Spanish
ship shall be taken. Your navy may
seek to annihilate them, but not one
Spanish ship will surrender to the
American navy. With honor at
stake, that will be the response of the
navy Of Spain.'
Eventful Day.
The departure of the Spanish party
brought to close a most eventful day
at the Spanish legation. At 11:2o
o'clock the minister received from the
state department a copy of the ulti-
matum and Immediately demanded his
passports.
The passports reached the minister at
4 p. m. They were accompanied by
letter from Secretary Sherman, in
which the secretary expressed his re-
gret that the minister had felt called
upon to take this step. The passports
were In the usual printed form, the
name of the minister being inserted,
with the statement that he was about
to travel abroad
The Spanish legation Is now closed.
An attendant remained there tonight
simply to clear up the effects Of hasty
departure, but the official existence Of
the legation is terminated.
The Cuban colonial delegation also
terminated it's relations at Washington
this afternoon. It had come here by
appointment of the Cuban autonomist
cabinet, for the main purpose of effect
ing a reciprocity treaty. Senior Angulo
was at the head of the delegation. He
left for New York at A. p. M, and his
associates accompanied him.

Tour of Inspection.
The present expectation is that Gen.
Miles. commanding the army. will leave
the city on Saturday for tour Of in
spection Of the points where the reg
ular army will be mobilized in the
South. He will be accompanied by a
number of his aides, and the first stop.
1t Is now said, will be at the Chicka-
mauga battlefield. After spending some
time there. the general will proceed to
the other points, returning to Wash

for inspection purposes, besides which
it will give Gen. Miles and his aides
much information respecting the con-

The navy department was scene Of
great activity. Secretary Longs Wis

passports issued late this afternoon by
the state department at his request,
following the delivery of a copy Of the
presidents ultimatum to Spain.
The departure of the Spanish party
was made without noticeable demon
stratiOn, and although a considerable
police were on duty at the depot, there
was at no time any occasion for their
doing more than keeping back q crowd
of curious onlookers.
At 6 o'clock this evening Senior Polo
made a hurried call at the French en-
bassy and the Austrian legation, where
Spanish interests are left in charge,
and then joined his staff at the legation
and started for the train. An express
wagon was piled high with the trunks
of the large party.
Just before the departure from the
legation, the Austrian minister, Mr.
Hengelmuller, and Baroness Hengel-
muller dropped in for last word, and
several other members of the diploma
tic CORPS called to make their final
adieux. This done, the legation was
vacated and the party assembled at the
Pennsylvania depot.
Crowd Friendly.
AS the minister entered the station
he was recognized by the crowd, which
closed in about him until gently cau-
toned by the officers.
No words of indignity were spoken,
and the salutations of those in the
crowd were rather agreeable than
otherwise. He smiled in acknowledge
ment Of the attention given him, and
several times touched his hat Follow
ing the minister came Senor Pabler
Solar, first secretary of the legation;
Senor Aquaroni, second secretary;
Senors Pla and Almeida, attaches
Capt de la Casa, military attache, and
Lieut.. de Carantha, naval attache.
Seniors du Bose and Galarza did not
accompany the party, as they will re-

capacity.
At the train platform the minister
was greeted by Viscount de Santo-
Thyrso, the Portuguese minister
The party boarded the Pullman Sleep

Secret service men remained at the

half a dozen police officers were group

their services required.

Lieut.. de Carantha asked the repre-

make known the lieutenant's view ON
the war about to be opened. He said
the Spanish people. particularly mem
bers Of the army and navy, had al
ways entertained the most cordial feel
ing toward America, and Spanish ships
had found 1t a pleasure to salute ships
of the American navy. Now, however.
a war was being precipitated by an at
tack upon Spatn's honor, and against
this every spark Of Spanish loyalty
would be aroused.
''It Is no longer q question Of re-
tanning Cuba" said Lieut.. de Caran-
tha. THAT was merely, a question of
territory. Now a higher purpose is
in view-the honor and dignity of
Spain-since the United States has
contemptuously ordered, Spain to va
cate Cuba, and has made the Infamous
charge that we are responsible for the
murder Of the poor men Of the Maine.
