MAKING A LAST EFFORT.
Spain Endeavors TO Hold Cuba by
FlatterinG the Insurgents.

Havana, March 8.-Among several
persons who went recently TO the insur-
gent ranks in Santiago de Cuba, was
Senior Armando de Zyas, secretary of
the Spanish court of appeals of the
eastern region.
1t is said here that the government
is considering the adyisability of divid-
ing the island into three regions, each
region having an autonomic govern
ment entirely independent of the others.
In u recent interview, Secretary Of
Public Works DOLE made this remarka-
BILE declaration:
From the moment Europe perceived
the Roadway that the revolution was
making, and the islands decided sym
pathy with the movement, 1t realized
that there was some cause which justi-
fed the rebellion and that that cause
ought to be removed. Europe, accord
ingly, began then to look upon the rev.
olutionists as men who fought for the
liberties of their country
Such language by one Of the members
Of Gen. Blanco's cabinet could not fail
TO stir the uncompfomising Spaniards.
but their press organs have not been
able TO give vent to their Indignation,
the censor having blue penciled all criti-
cism of Dolls words.
The significance of Dolzs utterances is
heightened by his assertion that he was
instructed by Minister Moret and Pre-
mier Sagasta to make an effort to reach
an understanding with the insurgents in
any terms, providing the sovereignty of
Spain was recognized.

All State Governors Thought to
Have Received Similar Orders.

Albany, March S.-Orders have gone
out through Adjutant General Filling
hast from Gov. Black. as commander-in-
chief Of the military forces In the State
of New York, holding the entire Nation
al Guard on waiting orders for service
against Spain.
1t is said here in a trustworthy quar-
ter that the governors action followed
an intimation from the President that
the War Department desired to know
just how many men could be modified
by this State In answer to a hurry call
for troops. 1t is the impression that the
ed a similar request.
This, when taken together with the
fact that the President has asked for
$50 000, 600 as an emergency fund, makes
a profound conviction among National
Guardsmen that they win be in active
service against Spain within a few days.
Regimental commanders have instruct
ed each of their men to get their march
ing kits in order, and to all of the com
mands in New York city, at least, regu-
lation woven army cartridge belts have
been issued by the quartermaster gem
eral The militiamen are ready for ac-
tive service at a moments notice.
Every member of the Guard has been
asked to furnish his company command
er a schedule by hours, showing where
he may be called on to report at his ar
mory. These orders never would have
been given out if hostilities were not i'm
minent.
For the last two days the Guard in New
York city has been getting skirmish drill
and general field practice

orders to the commanders of all five brig
AIDES of the New York National Guard to
assemble in the headquarters at the State
capitol at noon today. The brigade com
manders are Gems. McCoskry Butt,
George Moore, and McLeer, of New York
| city; Oliver, of Albany, and Peter C.
Doyle of Buffalo. Now that there has
been roundup, the governor wants to
| know at once how many men can be as
| sembled on summary notice.
Another object of the conference is to
discuss the needs of the brigade as to
supplies and ammunition and the ques-
| ton of speedy transportation.
The utmost secrecy has been observed
about this significant order for the hasty
| assembling of brigade commanders. Moth
ing could be learned at the adiutant gen
erals office. One of the brigade generals
who arrived late last night, said:
My order to report here read that d

MARKED BY SHARP FIGHTING.
Legal Battle Over Admission OF Evil
dence at Carter Trial.

New York. March S.-The proceedings
before the court-martial which is trying
Capt. o. n. Carter were marked by
sharp fighting today from beginning to
end OF the four hours session. The
legal battle began over the offer made
by Judge Advocate Barr, just before the
adjournment yesterday TO place in evil
dence a check-book containing the stubs
OF checks drawn upon the Union Trust
Of Robert p. Wescott by Capt Garter.
as attorney for Mr.. Westcott
Abraham J. Rose of Capt Carter
counsel, objected to the admission Of
the check-book as evidence. He declared
that it represented the fiduciary acts Of
Capt. Carter for his brother-in-law, and
its contents unless IL were first shown
that Capt. Garter had acted under a
power Of attorney from Mr.. Westcott
when he drew the checks.
Col Barr succeeded in getting in some
Of the papers, while Capt. Carriers law
yers forced him TO admit the existence
OF at least one power of attorney. and
10 produce a paper which purported to
be a copy Of three such documents.
In the thick Of the fight, Chauncey NJ.
Depew came into the room and was
called 10 the witness chair by Mr. Blair.
Mr.. Depew was not allowed 10 answer
many Of the questions put 10 him, but
IL was evident that his answers would
have pleased Mr. Blair had the court
permitted him 10 speak. When Mr.. De-
pew stepped down the legal sparring for
points was resumed and continued until
the court adjourned for the day.

ENGLAND EXPECTS WAR.
Conservative British Statesmen Be

lieve 1t Must Come.
London. March S.-Conservative Eng
lish statesmen, whose words carry much
weight are of the opinion that the
peace of the world cannot be preserved,
except by a miracle. The news from
Washington yesterday, together with
the tidings from Africa and China, sent
consols down 1-2 per cent. This demon
allied the Stock Exchange, and caused
a commotion in the lobby of the House
of Commons. The report from New
York that American Government bonds
had also fallen IL per cent only intensi-
fed the panicky feeling.
The action Of Spain in demanding the
recall of Gen. Lee is regarded as an I'M
mistakable attempt to provoke war
The British public is exercised over
the Eastern situation to such an extent
that the sale Of any British-built war
ships TO foreign power would cause a
storm of public Indignation. The admit
rally was criticised savagely yesterday
for permitting Spain to take possession
of two torpedo boats, completed for
her recently.
That the British government has Sc
cured options on warships in the mar
ket In British possessions is certain.
Lord Salisbury's resignation, it Is
thought, cannot be delayed much long
err He has lost the confidence of the
British public in his dealings with for
eign powers, and England seems to be on
the top OF a smouldering war volcano.
