Mig Spanish Cruiser Believed to BE
Looking for Her.
New York, April Especial to The
Post. 1.-THE formidable first-class Spanish
cruiser Emperador Cralos was sighted
Sunday morning about 700 miles from the
English coast, steaming rapidly westward.
She is now believed to be within a thous-
and miles OF tho American coast and is
doubtless under orders to capture the Paris.
According to the latest dispatches the Paris
took a route around Scotland in order to
escape Spanish warships supposed to be
waiting for her at the mouth of the Eng
lish channel This delayed her two days
and seafaring men believe the Spanish
cruiser Is already several hundred miles
nearer this coast than the Paris and stands
an excellent chance Of intercepting her be-
fore sho can get into Halifax. for which
port she is doubtless making for orders.
Only the fact that the Spaniards lack
knowledge of the course taken by the pnris
will prevent the lattcr's capture.

case three brlgades OF three regiments each
will be formed AS the second brigade now
stands, Colonel j. C. Bates OF the Second

One full regiment of infantry, three
