LOOKS -iNOW UKE WAR.
The movements at Washington
look now like war. Consul Gen
eral Lee will arrive at Key West,
perhaps, to-day. He has infor
mation relative to the Cuban sit?
nation which is regarded as too
grave to entrust to the. cipher
code. A report was current that
he had been recalled but this was
denied by General Lee. Gen.
Russell A. Alger, secretary of
war, who has been recuperating
at Old Point Comfort, returned to
Washington yesterday and took
charge of the War Department.
The monitor "Terror'" left Nor
folk yesterday for New York.
The naval military,acting under or
dersf rotii Adjutant General Hous
ton, will leave Jacksonville today on
a military . mission down the coast
to" locate signal stations at available
points. Major General Merritt
of the Department of the East,
left yesterday for an inspection of
the defenses along the 'Atlantic,
south of New York. The national
guard is recruiting all over the
country. Major General Roe,
commander of the national guard
of New York, was in conference
with Captv Miller, commanding
the State battalion naval reserves,
and stated that he could mass
thirteen thousand eight hundred
men in New York,' ready for ser
vice, in ten hours.- The Navy De
partment is looking over the list
of warships which might possibly j
i
be bought from the various gov- j
ernments with a view of probably
purchasing some of them in the
event of a war emergency. The
War Department yesterday tiled
reports from all the southern rail
ways giving estimates of the num
ber of men and quantity of muni
tions of war 4,hey could move in a
given time at short notice". The
Holland submarine torpedo boat,
being built in Baltimore, will be
completed this week, in response
to secret orders received from the
government at Washington.
All of which is portentous of
war." - ' '
