Washington, March 26.-As rapidly
as possible the navy department IS
pushing the work of preparation for
calling into active service such of the
naval militia of the various states a.
may be needed, and will volunteer for
service. As already announced, the
naval militia of Massachusetts and New
York have rendered its services, and
as soon as the necessary arrangements
can be made such officers and men as
may be needed will be placed upon the
old monitors now at League Island
navy yard, Philadelphia and others on
the newly acquired yachts and tugs
purchased for harbor and coast de-
lenses.
At present. it is not regarded by the
navy officials as probable that the naval
militia of any of the middle western
states will soon be called into service.
The indications now are that a sufii-
cient number of men can be secured
from the militia of Massachusetts, New
York and New Jersey to meet all re-
quirements. Should hOstilities break
out, however ii is regarded as extreme
" likely that the naval militie of both
the middle, western and southern states
will be called upon to assist in manning
auxiliary cruisers and coast defense
vessels.
Naval officials regard the naval mill
tia as a most valuable adjunct to the
navy proper, as ii could be utilized not
only to man the smaller vessels, but
could be depended upon as a second
line of defense. AS Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt points out. there are two
very important features which could
be attended to by this second line. One

HosTILITIEs MUST CEASE.
Substance Of a Demand Shortly to Be
Made On Srain.


Washington. D. c.. March 26.-It can
be stated on positive information that
this government viii, # it has not al
ready done So, inform Spain that the
conditions now existing in Cuba have
become intolerable to the people of
this country and that hostiiities on
tne island must close. This policy IS
in direct line with the views of the
president. as expressed in his last
message 10 congress, on Dec. O. IN that
message he said:
The instructions given to our new
minister 10 Spain before his departure
for his post. directed him to impress
upon that government the sincere wish
of the United States 10 lend its aid to-
ward the ending of the war in Cuba
by reaching a peaceful and lasting re-
suit. Just and honorable alike to Spain
and the Cuban people. These instruc-
tiCns recited the character and dura-
ton of the conflict, the widespread
losses it entails. the burdens and re-
straints it imposes upon US. with con-
slant disturbance of national interests
and the injuries resulting from an in
definite continuance of this state or
things.
mo solution was proposed to which
the slightest idea of humiliation to
Spain could attach. and. indeed precise
proposals were withheld TO avoid en-
barra ssment to that government"
After reading the substance of SPANS
reply, received on Oct. % last, the pres
ide-t says:
THE Immediate ameliOratiOn of ex-
listing conditions under the new admin
istTation of Cuban affairs is predicted.
and Herewith all the disturbances and
all occasion of any change of attitude
on the part of the United States"
f,o Of this
evidence has accumulated showing be-
ycnd all question that the promise made
il, behalf of the new administration, to
relieve the conditions in Cuba, have not
been fulfilled or accomplished On the
&C ntrary, the evidence which has reach
ed the president shows conclusively
that the situation is daily becoming
more serious. In view of these facts.
this government has decided to take, II
it has not already taken, definite action,
by notifying Spain, that while dlSoWn-
ing any other object than that dictated
by 4 sense of honor and justice to a
stricken and starving people, it must
Insist first that hOstilities be brought to
a speedy termination.
So far as known, no specific date has
been fixed within which the war must
be terminated, but il is believed that It
is the purpose of the administration not
to permit of any unnecessary or eX-
tended delay 1t is known in high Of
fetal circles that many of the people
highest in authority in Spain, including
members of the ministry, are extreme
ly weary Of the conflict IN Cuba, and
would willingly accede to any reason
able terms for settlement of the whole
question by granting TO Cuba her in
dependence on an indemnity basis The
opposition to this plan comes from the
factions opposed to the present admin
Istration. who demand extreme meas
ures. if necessary. to retain control of
the Island. In view of these condi-
tons. what viii be the answer to our
demand, cannot be foretold-
