It is asserted that this could be done at slight cost, and that the whalebacks would bo formidable. One great feature of tho whalebacks as warships is that they can be submerged until only about one foot of deck shows above the water. Marine men and gov ernment officials agree that with the ad' dilion of a couple of turrets, and with a ram forward, these boals would be ser viceable In case of war. There arc thirty five ot the vessels. Prlaee Albert K.celveH. Special to Journal. Washington, D O. March 11. Prince Albert of Belgium was received at noon, today, by Prusident and Mrs. McKln ley.

U., March 11. f This has been a history-making week in Washington, aud its effects will be visible in years to come, in the increased deference with which the U. S. is likely to be treated by all foreign nations. It lias been proclaimed to all the world that Congress to a man is behind the Prcsi dent, and that the people a people able to place ten millions of lighting men in the field upon short notice to a man arc behind both President and Congress. It lias been a week to rouse ones latent patriotism to the highest pitch, and to make one feel that after all the world contains no prouder title than that of American citizen. From the moment it was announced that the President had refused the request of Spain to recall Consul General Lee, partisan politics disappeared like dew in the sunshine- there were no Democrats, Republicans or Populists, only Americans and Congress and the administration have acted as one man. The $50,000,000 which was appro printed by the unanimous vote of both branches of Congress, to he used at the discretion of the President an action without precedeut in the history of Con gresswill be made $500,000,000, if it is needed to maintaiu National honor. With plenty of money at its disposal, the administration is making prepara tions for war in every direction, although its members are still expressing the hope that war will be avoided. It is all right to hope that there will be no war, but it is doubtful if there is a single responsi ble official of tho government who does not believe that war with Spain is bound to come. There is now only one way that war could he avoided, and those who know the situation in which the present Spanish Ministry is, regard that as an impossibility. The only wav to make sure of pence would he for Spain to at once grant the independence of Cuba, and to meet whatever demands this government may make as a result of the report of the Maine Court of Inquiry and there is little likelihood that the present Spanish Ministry, or any other, will do either, unless compelled by iorce of arms. Although the newspaper dispatches in sist that Spain has purchased warships in England, official advices to this gov eminent say that no such purchases have been or will be made. The administra tion feels amply nhle to whip Spain's navy without buying any ships, but it has sent a naval otlieer to Europe with authority to purchase any vessels that would make really desirable additions to our navy, and It is possible that he may buy some. As he will pay cash for what he buys, he will have the pick of every thing in thnt line that can be sold, i number of vessels have been olfercd fo (ale by paities in Europe thnt we woul not have for gifts. The greater portion of the money appropriated by Congress will bo spent at home, putting the avail able vessels in fighting trim and strengthening our coast and Imriior de fenses, which are already probably strong enough to successfully resist anything that Spain can send against them. A the war will either be fought almost entirely on water or on Spanish ground only those who enter it are likely to si any of its hardships, and it Is likely to lie very short. Spain h is neither money nor the men 10 make a long light, even If we were disposed to allow her to do so. which we are not. What must surprise the Spaniards, i well as the cilizrfut of other rounlrie about tho placing of llfty millions of do! lars in the hands of the Priident by Congress, is that il could be done with out selling a bond or in lira slightest manner inconveniencing the 1'. S. gov eminent. It was merely taken out of the supply of surplus cath that I'ncle Sam had on hand. What will add to the surprise of the Spaniards is the know edge that Undo Sam can, if necessary plank down another fitly million of d lars without an Issue of bonds, while Spain has failed to negotiate a loan njxjn any terms, U hough it has been upon it knees lo every banker In Euroiio who commands money enough to handle loan. Msfly shrewd men believe that the appropriation of this money, under the circumstances, will do more to convince the Spanish people of the Inability their government to cops with the United Slates thsa anything that could possibly have been done.
