MADRID PEOPLE IN IGNORANCE.
Spanish War Movements Not Mentioned In
the Newspapers-Fieet May Avoid
engagements When Possible.

MADRID, April 27.-The general pub
lie here is in complete ignorance re-
garding the Spanish war movements.
The newspapers make no mention of
them while fully recording the tactics
of the United States feet. Judging
from the available advices Spain
appears to \have the tactics of
the badger. The Liberal says:
'sWe are inside our house, Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippine islands.
and inside we will remain until you
come and drive US out, in fulfillment
OF your arrogant boast" It is gener-
ally believed, that, in consonance with
this policy, the Spanish feet, unless
compelled to fight. will avoid engage
ments and the fastest ships will be EN-
ployed to destroy the commerce of the
United States.

REBELS ARE HOPEFUL
Insurgents ON Philippine Islands Expect
Early American Assistance Pun
H' ,iskmens OF Spain.

TACOMA, Wash. April e7.-The latest
rebellion in the Philippine islands has
already assumed proportions as serious
as that beginning two years ago.
Hong Kong advices to March 25 state
that the insurgent leaders, who are in
constant communication with friends
in Hong Kong, were sanguine that the
United States would soon declare war
against Spain and proceed to free
Cuba In such a war they foresaw the
greatest opportunity of recent years
Vto drive the Spanish rulers out of the
Philippines and forever sever alle-
glance to Spain. Friends at Hong
Kong, including supposedly rebel lead
ers, whose surrender was secured by
purchase in January, have advised that
the rebellion be extended to every
Philippine province, by which time
they hope the United States will be
ready to lend assistance as means of
Furnishing Spain.
