Madrid, Feb. 28.—The cardinal archbishop of Valladolid has pub- lished 2 pastoral letter blaming Am+zrica fur the prolongation of the Cub. war. His eminence says: “Th- by;ocrstical friendship of the Unite i States fosters the rebel- lion and wastes Spain's :escurces in oricr the better to atteck her when weaalerel.’ He exhorts all true Spaniards to “anite ia defending the rights and honor of the nation.” The letter has caused widespread comment. The Correspondencia Militar, or- gan of the army says: “The prevailing impression is that war between Spain avd the United States wiil break out in April.” A former captain general of Cuba (presumably Marshal Martinez Cam- pos) interviewed by a representative of Correspondencia Militar, is re- ported as saying: “I never entertained a doubt if the rebellion were not suppressed before 1898 war with the United States would become an accomplish- ed fact. Unhappily, my prophecy will be fulfilled “I have the consolation of having done all in my power to avert it, and therefore I do not regret the blame which has baen heaped upon me. All that is now possible is that we should all unite to meet the danger that threatens the country.” As It Was During the War. Albany, N. Y. Feb. 27.—The greatest activity since the late rebe'- lion is now witnessed at the Water- vliet arsenal and the entire force is working night and day. Friday night an order was received for the immediate shipment of two car lords of 12inch projectiles to Fort Hamilton with the greatest possible haste. The projectiles were boxed for shipment end Satur- afternoon they were dispatched to Fort Hamilton. Orders have also been received for the shipment of all projectiles now on hand to the several forts about New York and to forward all complete guns as speedily as poss- ible to the proving grounds at Sandy Hook. Such an order has not been receiv- ed at Watervielt since the close of the war. It is expected that at least six car loads of projectiles will be shipped during the present week They Hate General Lee. Madrid, Feb 28 —The Naccional, Gen. Weyler’s special organ, scouts the theory of a mine in connection with the Maine disaster. It says the problem of defense has been thor- oughly studied and the ports of Havana, Matanzas, Cienfuegas and Santiago have nothing to fear. It would be difficult for a hostile squadron te lie im front of the bay of Havana, for the batteries estab- lished there would stop it. The article ends: “The attack on General Lee as having nightly left Havana to aconference with Colonel Aranguren or other rebel chiefs is an edifying sight.” The feeling here is very bitter against General Lee, whose “rebel and jingo statements” are constantly jreferred to. Spaniards look upon him as the most mischievous element in the prevention of a peaceful eolu- tion. New Boat Pat in Commission. “Qommodore” R. R.
