lS That which most impresses the Off
GERS Of the European armies who have
ccme to the United States to observe
she war is the rapidity with which an
army is being modified: To them it is
almost incredib BILE that on the 23d Of
April this government had an army of
only 26, 500 men. Today there are or
yanlzed, Offered and encamped over
lou, 600 men. When foreigners are told
mat these men responded to call for
volunteers, they marvel greatly. Ac-
customed as they are to bringing their
soldiers into the field by the forced
lev1es of rigorous military laws they
cannot comprehend the willingness of
the American youth to volunteer. The
nigh character Of the American private
soldier also is impressive to the for
elgner. The editor of one Of the FORE
most newspapers in the east is COM
mon trooper in one of the cavalry CON-
mands now at Camp Alger, across the
river from Washington. When the
Washington correspondent Of the paper
went out to the camp, he found his
managing editor was on the stable de-
tail for the day and was engaged in the
work of a hostler. The proprietor of
another paper has in the army as pri-
Yates his city editor, assistant city
editor and two reporters. The CORE
spondent of a Boston paper went out to
camp one day recently and saw man
with vandyke beard and an elegant
manner dealing boiled potatoes to a
mess.
Colonel, asked the correspondent,
who is that fine looking man? His
face seems familiar. " ''That," said the
colonel, sis Mr. So.and-so. He was
travelling in the west when the war
came. He hurried home and came to me
with request to be taken. I told him
had no commission for him. He said
he didn't ask for any commission. He
would go anyway. So made him COM

sergeant stopped dishing the hot pota-

NO Color Line In the Volunteer Army.
There is no color line in the volunteer
army. Over at Camp Alger, among the
20, 900 white troops there, is one bat
TALON of colored troops attached to an
Ohio regiment. The officers are all COL
ored men, the major commanding the
regiment being Mr.. Young, who is the
colored West Pointer in the army. A
few days ago an officer Of the colored
troops stood by the side of private in
a Tennessee regiment in one Of the

made no move to salute the colored off,

A SPANISH VIEW OF 1T.
''INnOws" That the Explosion
Was From Within.


New York. Feb. 1s.-The Herald to-mor
row will say:
Lieutenant J. G. Sobria, naval attache
of the Spanish legation at Washington. was
in this city yesterday cooperating with the
authorities in preparing for the safety of
the Vizcaya during her stay in this port
Lieutenant Sobria was asked for his opin-
ion as to the cause of the explosion of
the Maine. His reply was:
II know the cause of the explosion, but
I cannot divulge it,
He was pressed for further information
on this point and he finally replied: 1t
was the result of an explosion inside the
ship. which took place in one OF the for
ward magazines. The fact of the matter
is that the discipline and watch observed
on the ship were very lax.
This as one English newspaper the
other day declared, is the case on American
warships generally. This sort of thing has
occurred on previous occasions on American
war vessels
When Lieutenant Sobria was spoken to
as to the possibility of serious trouble over
the Maine affair, he said: I don't think
there will be war between the United States
and Spain, but if such an unfortunate con-
dition should arise, I shall, of course be
in a condition to be of much aid to my gov
ernment as result of such information as
has come to my knowledge as naval at
tache at the Spanish legation. In the case
of hostilities 1 might, perhaps, command a
ship. ;"

A WILD YARN FROM TAMPA.
Blow Up Consul General Lee
in Havana.

Jacksonville. Fla, Feb. 1S.-A special to
local paper from Tampa, Fla, says:
THE Havana horror and the suspicious
it has aroused show up a bitter proclama-
ton secretly circulated in Havana some
time ago of a plot to blow up General Lee
and the consulate. These circulars were
printed at Havana in Spanish and sent in
| a package to Spanish Consul Cursi, then
at Key West. and were sent here to be
| forwarded to a certain party in Havana for
| distribution. He was not here. and they
were sent to him at Havana.
Just at that time, Jose Luis Miguel, a
Cuban, of Tampa, was in Havana, by mis-
| take, the postman delivered the package to
him. 1t soon became known that he had
them and was aware of the bitter feeling.
So he was enticed to building on Tacoma
| street one night, and then told he must
join in the plot to blow up the. American
consulate.
! He Indignantly refused, and was then told
that. unless he did, they would send him
to Fernando prison on the coast of Africa.
He finally accepted their terms and became
very active and won their confidence. and
then told them it was necessary for him to
| make a trip to Tampa to see his family.
and he has never had time to go back. He
says that Spanish General Gonzalez Para
| do was often at the houes on Tacoma street,
| which was the usual meeting place for the
conspirators, who had ideas of bombs.
He gave the Associated Press a copy of
the proclamation. which, translated liter
ally, reads as follows:
.Spaniards:-The time has arrived when
| the patience of the loyal has vanished be-
| fore the decided protection which the
Americans lend to the bands of turbulent
| foragers who lay waste our country. Death

the colossal head of the Americans and
prove to them that our uncomfortable ma

and ignorant criticism it is to-day.
"Ah, Mr.. President. war may come. I
think myself it may be not far distant;
and when it comes we will fight it alone,
for there will be no other nation to lift
hand to fight for us. When that day comes,
our course must be eternally grounded on
the right. and until it comes there is MOTH
ing that SO belittles this people. in my
opinion, as these unjust and outrageous
attacks upon friendly government.
"Ah Mr.. President, war Is grim decision,
and when it comes it must come so that
the people of the world, whether they fight
with us or not, can at least respect our
conduct and our position: and. above ALL

stances which make us respect ourselves

Mr.. Wolcott was followed Immediately
by Mr.. Lodge, of Massachusetts,. who also
had sat very restive under Mr. Mason's
reflections upon the navy department. He
also spoke with intense earnestness, say
ing:
Mr.. President. I have no desire and no
| intention of saying one word in regard
to the war that is raging in Cuba. No
| one can detest the horrors enacted in that
island more than I. No one desires more
than l to see the Spanish power swept
| from that island, as it has been from all
the states of South America, but Mr.. Pres
ident, that question is not here. We are
| face to face at this moment with a great
national calamity. The Americans have re-
! ceived the awful news of the sinking of
| the warship Maine with splendid silence
| and self-restraint, both in congress and
| throughout the country. They are waiting
sternly. quietly, to know the truth, and
| the truth they will have. This is not a
| question which involves Cubans or Span
| iards. This is a question which involves
brave American seamen gone to their death

| calamity, what we want is the truth. How

which is miles from the place where the

new SPANISH MINISTER.
Senior Polo Bernabc "Colorless
Young Man of Almost No Force
of Character"

of Character.
Washington, Feb. 1s.-Senor Polo y Bern-
abe, the new Spanish minister to WASH
ington, Is the son of Admiral Polo, of the
anish navy. who was minister to the
United States during President Grants
administration. and who was chiefly in
strumental in staving of belligerency rec
ognition in the last Cuban rebellion.
Senior Polo, as he Is called, is by no
means the brusque democrat his father
was. He is colorless young man of al
most no force of character at all. and has
been carried along in the diplomatic Off
ces of Spain by administration after ad-
ministration for the sake of his father
and his family. He has done little of note
during his official life. although he is a
man Of much learning. He speaks En-
glish fiuently. and has a wide acquaint-
ance with commercial history. on which
subject he has written a number of val
liable treatises. His wife, Sonora Mendez
de Vigo, the daughter of the present
Spanish ambassador to Germany, is an
accomplished woman not unknown in
Washington society.
The new minister is not the Polo who
was attache and third secretary Of the
Spanish legation here from 1873 to 1881.
That official was brother of De Lome's
successor and is now dead. The dead
