The event of yesterday was
the unexpected arrival of the
Spanish torpedo fleet at Porto
Rico.
Porto Rico is nearly a thous
and miles from Havana, Our
fleet at Key West is only nine
ty miles from Havana. We can
reach there first.
The late news does not con
firm the sailing of the Flying
Squadron from Hampton Roads.
It may have sailed.
The country is prepared for
war if it comes. Nothing very
momentous can be expected to
occur today, or for a day or two.

Special to Journal, ,
Washington, April 2, This afternoon
word was flashed from London that of
(icittl cables announce the arrival of the
Spanish tlutilla ot torpedo boat destroy
ers and torpedo boat at Porto Rico.
Thereupon a hasty meeting of the
Naval Board of Strategy was held at the
Department to consider the arrival of the
flotilla and decide a Cuurse of action.
In addition to this information, tl.e
news was telegraphed from Key West
that dispatch boats sent from the White
Squadron to follow the Spanish warships
Vizcaya and Alralrante Oquendo, which
left Havana yesterday with destination
unknown, had gone to Join the Spanish
torpedo fleet to Porto Kico.
The talk! amount the navy officers
in private conversation is that they
expect to hear the booming of the guns
within a week. The Navy Depart
ment went on a war tooting today
Orders were issued that no information
Acquired of the defensive or offensive op
erations of Spain be made known to the
public. All others not in active service
are ordered to be in readiness when call'
ed upon.
The Navy Department issues orders to
Revenue Cutters to rendezvous at Nor
folk by next Monday. Biz additional
vessels for the naval service were pur
chased by tho government today. The
urgency for wire for Immediate use Is
such that the government purchased In
sulated wire to obtain it.
The shipments of ammunition, powder
and projectiles from the Biookljo Navy
yard today, was the largest in the history
of the station. All the war munitions
were consigned South, presumably for
the Plying Squadron at Hampton Reads
and the fleet at Key West. The battleship
Texas wss today painted a slato color at
thn Brooklyn Navy yard. The ship
repaired and ready for service.
The report Is current on the streets
of the Capitol tonight that Minister
Woodford has been recalled from Madrid,
The membeis of the first class at the
Naval Academy at Annapolis, who were
otherwise to graduate in June, were to
day detached and ordered to ships in the
various fleets. The War Department or.
dered from the Government printing
office ten thousand muster rolls for the
enlistment of troops. The first troops
will be mustered in as National Guards.
The navy yards were today closed to
visitors.
Governor Black of New York who is
on a trip in Canada was recalled by tele
gram to Albany and passed through
Montreal on a special train this morning.
The sub-committee of the Senate C m-
roiltee on Foreign Relations, which was
appointed to draft a report and prepare
formal resolutions outlining a course of
action that the United States Bhall pur
sue with reference to Cuba, reported to
the full Committee today.
'The subcommittee recommended the
adoption of a resolution declaring in the
first place "tor peace and the recognition
of thn Republic of Cuba," aud secondly
"for Intervention by tho United States
with the army and navy for tho purpose
of assisting the Cubans to secure their
independence in case Spain refuses to
concede it."
' The committee treated the recent orders
issued by the Spanish ministry for the
release of the Cuban non-combatants or
reconcentradoe, as a subterfuge of Spain
and dwells upon the past if not the res
ent treatment of these unfortunate peo
ple.
Ihe Committee describef the Maine
disaster and represents the destruction
of the vessel as sufficient cause for de
claring war, if the country is desirous of
making it such. The Injury to Ameri
can interests in Cuba by the struggle is
touched upon and is judged to be a full
justification for interference. The full
committee agreed to accept this recom
mendation.
The President will now submit the
whole Cuban case to Congress. The
leaders siy that the President still enter
tains some hope hut is not sanguine that
there is another chance of peace.
The President today sent an answer to
Spain to the lat tote from Sngasta. The
answer is brief and omiuous and the
President informed Minister (iullou
through the American Minister that the
reply by the Spanish government was
received and would be submitted to
Congress. The President issues no ulti
matum in his reply to Spain. lie simply
notifies Spain that her answer is unsatis
factory. The President devotes today and
Sunday to the preparation of a messi ge
to Congress. The message may not be
sent to the Houses before Tuesday or
Wednesday.
Senator Froctor, who did so murh in
his speech to show the conditions on the
island of Cuba, declares that Cuban in
dependence should be Immediately re
cognized, that our coast defense
strong nnd that our navy is better than
that of Spain. Some Congressmen and
Senators arc receiving telegrams from
the "peace at any price'" politicians that
their constituents wish to avoid war,
It is understood that in the event of the
Opening of the war that the French Am,
baseador will protect Spain's Interests in
this city and the French Ambassador at
Madrid will protest American interests
there.
Tbe official statement given out by the
Spanish minister that connects the Maine
disaster with the Cubans ' creates great
surprise. It is considered asextraordinary
that it should be thus conceded that the
explosion of the Maine originated from
the outside, when the attempt of tbe
Spanish commission was to prove that
the explosion was Internal.

Special to Journal,
Wasiiixoton, April ?. A semi-ofB
oial notice published at Madrid by the
Spanish government states that Prcai
dent HcKinley did not insist upon the
freedom of Cuba In hie note through
Minister Woodford, and that no proposal
containing the slightest allusion
Cuban independence was made, with
without an indemnity to Spain for its
release. That the presumption that
8paln would be disposed to recognise
Cuban lodependeaooe In return for an
Indemnity was a most immoral device,
aad that Spain would reject such a pro
posal' immediately. That there is do
party nor politician In Spain that
would favor such a solution of the ques
tion. The "Imparoial" of Madrid likens the
