It will be sent Spain tomorrow and- will reach Madrid in the evening, the difference in time be tween this country and Spain being about six hours. I think you are safe in saying that Spain will -be given forty-eight hours, that is until Friday evening, to submit her reply. In ac cordance with the terms of the resolu tion the president I will demand that Spain shall evacuate the island. The demand for this will be flat footed and absolute and no tentative or half-way. reply will satisfy, the president. Ijlor will any compromise that contemplate the withdrawal of Spain's troops from the island and the subsequent re-es-tablishment iof. Spanish control or th raising of the Spanish flag over thf country be accepted by the administrai tion. Possibly it may be that a sug gestion that the matter has been re ferred to the cortes, which meets to morrow, 'tor its consideration may be instrumental in postponing for a brief time the p'utting into effect of the con gressional resolution, but the presi dent is disposed not to brook any fur ther delay. It is only fair that in a great' crisis like this reasonable time shall be given. -"If , Spain refuses to evacuate Cuba prompt measures will be adopted to put into force the congressional reso lution. A blockade of Cuba will, so'far as is at-present understood, be begun at once'. There are an adequate num ber Qf war vessels in the Vicinity to make this effective. I? think such sup plies as the Spaniards'now control will not last them more than a month. Then steps taken with a rview of increasing the equipment of Gomez's soldiers and furnishing them with sufficient hard tack for food will enable him to har rass the Spaniards from the rear which" will materially assist in bringing them i to terms. My own individual idea is that it will probably take two months to bring about the results which will compel the Spaniards tofrjevacuate and enable the island to be ojpied by the United . States without molestation, j j 'No, the United States government will not issue any' letters of marque and reprisal not Countenance privateer j in'g. but if the Spanish government chooses to enter upon this line of war fare she will have to, deal with the na tions of Europe-with whose commerce she seeks to interfere." , i BILX. TO INCREASE THE ARMY. The war department bill to provide for temporarily increasing the military establishment in time of war was sent today to Chairman Hull, of the house military affairs committee and Senator Hawley, the chairman of the similar committee in the senate. The measure was prepared under the immediate su pervision of Assistant Secretary Mei keljohn after a thorough and careful study of the best interests of the ser-; vice. In transmitting the bill to con gress a request is made for favorable consideration, and, in view of the ex igencies of the situation, speedy action is expected. In time of war the army is to consist of two branches, the regu lar "and the volunteer army, the latter to be maintained only during the ex istence of war or while wan is immi nent and is to be raised and organized only after congress authorizes it. All enlistments for the volunteer j army are to be for three years, unless soon er terminated, All the regimental and company officers of the volunteer army are to be appointed by the president upon the recommendations of the gov ernors of the states in which their re- 1 1 : . hsuecuvB wtramzauons are raisea. , Coneerning the national guard it is provmea that when the members of coa"y. or; rement of-.the or ganized militia shall enlist in the voir untecr army in a body, as such com pany or regiment, the regimental and company officers in service with the militia organizations thus enlisting may be appointed, by the presided t, .."J - examination as to ntness : ana capacity 10 oe . omcers oricorre- ' sponding grades in the same organiza- tion wnen it is received In the serviee 4. o 4. , i - oiunwer army t rne troops in time or war. w; 1 - The troops In time of war, whether ' belonging to the regular or volunteer ; a.4my or to the militia, are to be or1 gapized info divisions of three brigades each brigade" jt.o be composed ' of three orj more regiment's, and when three or more . divisions are assembled jn the same army the president is to organize them into army corps, each corps to ponsist of not more than three divis ions.

They are concentrated in - the belief that the West Indies will be a reenter of conflict, and that .the stress t of war may lead one, or the other belligerent to occupy neutral British territory. - So far as is known , the French gov ernment will observe the same neutral ity. Its "West Indlah possessions are considerable and it has several ships in those waters. ; Germany and the other powers are expected to take the same neutral attitude. In connection with the cable report that the dreibund, had sought to e,ff ect a plebiscite in Cu ba, Jt was stated at tone of the embas sies that this branch of negotiations' occurred last week; and embraced some circumstances not named in the cable dispatches. About the middle of last week one of the embassies here was informed from it's foreign office that its ambassador at Madrid advised them that Minister Woodford had suggested in a tentative way, a plebiscite as a possible solution to the Cuban problem. This' ambassador also advised his for eign office that the suggestion, did not meet with favor, and had not been fol lowed" up. Since then there has 'been no talk f a plebiscite so far as is known here. Applications are pouring into the war and navy departments for the immedi ate protection of." supposedly exposed points -! on the - Atlantic and gulf sea board. ? The two Florida senators call ed today upon Secretary Alger to urge that protection be afforded to some of their coast towns, such as Mi ami, and that troops be stationed, there. The officials say it . is manifestly im possible to comply: with these requests and have no hesitation i.n declaring I that the aprehenslon among the people of these towns is largely "groundless.
