SPAIN SHORT OF COAL.

May BE the Cause of Suddenly Termina =
ting the Hostilities by the Spaniards.
LONDON, April PA dispatch to
the Daily Telegraph from Barcelona,
via Paris, says:
Grave apprehensions are enter
tanned in the highest government cir
cles that the issue of the war may be
decided not by valor and enthusiasm
and logged perseverance, qualities of
which the Spaniards possess an album
dance, but by reserves of coal and VIC
tuals, Of which they have made but a
scanty provision in Cuba. 1t appears
that in respect to coal in particular
they are cOmparably worse off than
they have hitherto imagined.

Opinions among members Of Con-

Since the departments have issued

there have been many volunteers for

the President has issued his pr0ciama-
