SPAIN SHY eF COAL.
The United States WIFI Not Allow
the Hampstead to Sail.


the Hampstead to Sail.
WASHINGTON, April 18-Owing to
SPANS efforts to collect coal at Ha-
vana and San Juan no doubt exists
In political circles that the naval plan
for the Spanish government contem-
plates the dispatch of the fleet to west
ern waters.
1t is Officially admitted that this
government has determined not to per-
NIT American coal to be taken to the
Cape Verde islands on board the Brit
ism tramp steamship Hampstead, and
that negotiations are under way for
the sale of that vessel and her cargo
to the United States. The Hampstead,
although she was to have sailed Sat-
urday, has not gone, and faer purchase
will probably be announced.
1t is admitted by officials that they
are trying to meet trick with trick.
There Is but a small amount Of coal
at st. Vincent, and It would be neces-
sary for the Spanish fleet to go to
some other point for fuel within a
short time. as the supply at Cape
Verde cannot last aIiy length of time.
It was to help the fleet now gathered
at that point that the Hampstead was
ordered to proceed to Cape Verde after
purchasing a supply OF coal at Lam
bertis Point. The United States Is in
great need of Golfers, especially one
already loaded with coal. and 1t would,
therefore. be only too glad to take from
Spain the vessel and her cargo, and
use her for offensive purposes against
her first employer
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-04-19

The Minneapolis & st. Louis Railroad
company, through its counsel, Albert
F.. Clark, Of Minneapolis, is to appeal
to the United States supreme court,
from the decision recently handed down
by the supreme court of this state, set
ting forth that railroad companies can
be compelled to put In ''Ys" or eonnec-
tons at points where other lines of
railroad are crossed.
This case, known as the Hanley Falls
Y case, has been in the courts for some
years, and is one of the most important
ever tried in this or any other state
affecting the control by the state Of
the railroads. AS one lawyer put it yes
terday if the United States supreme
court upholds the decision of the Min
nesota court in favor Of the state and
against the roads. 1T will be long
step in advance and, in a twinkling,
there will be score Of applications
made in this and other states for SINH
lar connections.
This information concerning the APP
peal to be taken will be sad news to
those Minnesotans who have been
fighting all this time, and who will
realize that the whole thing Is hung
up for possibly two or three years
longer. 1t is provided in the statutes
that the appellants may at any time
within six months of the time the ad-
notice of appeal to the higher court
The United States supreme court is
now so far behind in it's cases as to
make it very doubtful if this case will
be reached for some time. The appeal
which has been looked for by the law
yers in case the decision was against
the roads, will be based on several
writs of error, one of which will be that
the ruling will permit the interference
by the state of the interstate COM
merce law, and again that it will permit
the conf1scation Of property without
due process of law.
The railroad lawyers during the trial
of the case raised these and other
questions, thus making a record for the
supreme court. Owing to the impor-
lance Of the case, much has been print
ed about 1t from time to time but in
a nutshell, the live stock interests of
Lac qui Parle, Chippewa and yellow
Medicine counties, and the coal inter
ests at the head Of the lakes, demanded
that better facilities be furnished for
shipments to the South and West, and,
although the litigation to date has been
confined to the case affecting the inter-
section Of the Minneapolis & st. Louis
and Great Northern roads. other APP
plications will come in very promptly,
If it is decided that the roads must es-
tablish these sought-for connections.

sCHLEY's DECKS CLEARED.
Calls to Quarters on All the Ships of
the Squadron.

OLD POINT COMFORT, Va. April
1S.-Capt. Philip, of the battleship
Texas, is angry over a newspaper pub
Hcation that the men of the Texas took
the Spanish flag for use as dressing
to one of the companionways of the
ship so that it would be walked over
in going down. Capt. Philip said to-
day: The story is outrageous We
are men Of little common sense, and
are not doing ridiculous and NONSENSE
cal things If war was declared to-
morrow, we would not offer any such
insult to the Spanish flag"
The Minneapolis, Of the squadron,
has broken valve in her steam steer
ing gear, but it will be repaired by
night. Ali of the ships of the squadron
had calls to quarters this morning and
cleared their decks for action. The
tremendously heavy work OF clearing
the decks and preparing for firing was
done so quickly as to surprise even
Commodore Schley. All the ships re-
ported clear and ready TO fire in fifteen
minutes.
Clearing includes the removal of ev-
erything that is destructible or in the
way of the guns and the closing Of all
compartments. In going to sea this
would be done before starting. Com
modore Schley said today that he
hoped to have the New Orleans and
San Francisco attached to the fleet,
but as yet had received no notiica-
ton from the navy department of such
an assignment

By the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON. April 18-Assistant
Secretary Day had three diplomatic
callers this morning, the Chinese minis
ter. the Guatemalan minister and Senior
Romero, the Mexican minister Some
significance attached to the visit of
the latter, as 1T was believed that his
call was with the purpose Of assuring
Assistant Secretary Day as to the atti-
tude Of the Mexican government to-
wards the United States in the event
of the breaking out of hoStilities with
Spain.
The news from the City of Mexico
that a concentration of Mexican troops
has been ordered ON the Texas frontier
is rather satisfactory to the authorities
here, as evidencing a purpose on the
part Of the Mexican government TO re-
press -sternly and promptly any Quixo-
tic attempt that may be made to raid
across the border by either sympathi-
zers with Spain or by some Of the many
lGwless Mexieans who are quick to take
advantage Of any disturbance to profit
by the organization Of fiibustering ex-
petitions. Il
The officials, SO far as can be gather
ed. have no notice OLA renewed effort
on the part of the European powers TO
influence the course of our government
in the direction of preventing HOSTILE
ties, and it is surmised that if further
attempts Of that kind are i'm process.
they are being directed upon the Span
ish cabinet. a.s e
One Of the runors in that connection
which was in circulation today, was
that the powers had about concluded to
assure the Spanish ministry against
overthrow at the hands of enraged
Elobs in the event that it should con-
sent to separation of Cuba from the
mother country. r. n
Such advices as thehstate department
officials have IeceivedE from Minister
Woodford, respecting the disturbances
at Malaga, incline them. to minimize
the report Of the renewal Of the attack
upon the American consulate at that
place. The second outbreak is believed
to have been nothing more than a
noisy demonstration by enthusiastic
school boys. On the whole the depart
ment Is not particularly displeased
with the outcome of the Malaga demon
stratfon, inasmuch as it evidences an
ability and determination on the part
OF the Spanish authorities to protect
the American eonsulates in Spain.
Such a line of action, of course had
to be followed, if the Spanish govern
lnem wished to retain In any degree
the respect and sympathy of the Euro
pean powers, but it is gratifying to the
state department to know that the
government has not Been inclined to
neglect it's international obligations in
this respect. s

CLUB HOUSE TO BE BUILT
MINNESOTA BOAT CLUB RAISES ITS
DEBT OF $4,000
The Announcement Made at a Meet
ing of the Club Held at the Conn
mercial Club Last NiEht-Plans
for the New Athletic Association
Club House ON Raspberry Island
Under Discussions.

The effort on the part Of members Of
the Minnesota Boat club to raise. the
$4,000 debt of the organization as the
preliminary work directed toward
establishing a new athletic club, with
fully equipped club rooms, on Raspber-
ry island, has proved successful.
This statement was made at a meet
ing of the boat club at the Commercial
club rooms last evening" where the
matter was thoroughly discussed and
the plans fer the new building to be
erected on the island examined
The new arrangements purpose the
forming of a large athletic club, to
which organization the boat club will
turn over its property on Raspberry
island, merging itself into the new
club. The first step in this direction
necesSitated raising the debt of the
boat club, and, as this has been &C
complished. the plans will now be ex-
pedftiously pushed forward for the Or
ganization of the athletic club and the
erection of commediouS new quarters
on the site of the present boat house.
1t is desired to secure membership
of 200 in the proposed new athletic club,
and already 100 names have been Sc
cured. A committee was appointed
last evening to secure the additional
forty members, and it is believed that
the completion Of the roll will be but
building of the new gymnasium will at
once be undertaken
1t is expected that the gymnasium
Will be completed by fall.
The plans for the building call for
frame structure, 96 by 81 feet, three
stories high at the west end
and two stories at the east end.
On the ground floor, or basement, will
be the bath rooms and lockers, to-
gether with apartments for storing the
boats.
The gymnasium floor space will be
n by GA feet on the second floor. The
equipment will consist of every neces-
sary training apparatus A suspend
ed running track will be erected around
the inside of this room
The three-story part OF the building
will contain the reception rooms and
club headquarters. The building will
be erected above the high-water line
upon strong stone foundation The
roof will be fiat, SO as to be available
for promenade, over which awnings
will be spread. Straight steps will lea
to the roof from the bridge, a distance
of twenty feet
The building is estimated to cost
S11,000. This sum, it is expected, can
readily be raised ameng the 200 mem
bers of the new organization and other
friends of the boat club

Dons In the United States Are Pre-
pairing to Depart.
WASHINGTON, April 10. - Acting
under instructions from the Spanish
minister, the Spanish consuls in yari-
Gus parts OF the country are making
arrangements for the departure of the
Spanish colonies In their several To-
caittles. Arrangements are now con-
GUIDED for the departure Of the Span
Ism residents OF Boston, about thirty in
number. Similar arrangements have
been made as to the Spanish colony
In New York. The start from New
York will be on Wednesday, a steamer
having been chartered for this service.
The Spanish officials at PHILADELPHIA
and many other points are taking a.
register Of all Spaniards within their
Iurlsolctlon. Ibis is not census. as
that was taken Dec. 81 last, but is for
the special purpose OF learning the
number Of those who desire to leave
at once. The Spanish government
pays the expenses of all those who go
to Cuba Or other Spanish ports.
Some of those who are about to leave
prefer to seek asylums in Mexico or
the Canaries, in which case their ex-
penses of removal will not be borne
by Spain.
rms general movement is not In
spfred by any fear CT indignity at New
York, Boston or other. points, but is
due to the contrary rule of in ernat 10 al
procedure that the subjects Of a hog
tile power shall remove from the ter
ritory OF the country with which that
hostile power is at war. While war
has not been declared, the movement
is a precautionary measure, as the
departure Of such large colonies, 1t Is
feared, would be attended with diff
Hculty and danger after ihostflities had
begun.
The first active move of a colony
occurred today, when the 400 Spanish
residents of Tampa, Fla, left on q
steamer chartered to carry them to
Havana. Most of those from Boston
and other points are able-bodied young
men, who will be available for military
service after their arrival at Havana.
