"WARNED TO KEEP AN EYE ON SPAIN. | = | Woodford Says Madrid Would| Strike the First Blow. Yo Impeach Seeretary Long Washington, D. C., March Minister Woodford has warned the State department to watch the future | movements of Spanish warships. It is stated that Spain, urged on by the} party in power at Madridis prepar ing to begin hostilities against the United States without waiting fora formal deelaration of war. She be lieves that the United States is un prepared for war and that by forcing the conflict soon, our navy will ve be crippled irretrievably before the administration could reinforce it The State department, the Presi- dent and the Navy department have taken energetic efforts to offsett this new threatened danger. Definite plans for a campaign under such cir- cumstanees and conditions have been formulated. It is believed that Minister Wood- ford knew what he was about when he cabled the warning. Inthe event that Spain should seek to attack the American seaports and commerce without first haying notified the United States, this country would at once establish relations with Gomez and his army, and by furnishing them with ample munitions of war enable them to attack all the sea- port cities of Cuba, including Ha- vana, from the land side while the American battleships bombarded them from the sea. By this course the Spanish army could be driven out of Cuba possibly without send- ing an Ameriean army to the island. Disclosure of the secret plans of Spain have intensified the prepara- tions for war. President McKinley is doing all he can to keep the geace for Wall street but the matter seems to have escaped his control, and if Spain should fire the first gun even Wall street would have to take a back seat. TO IMPEACH SECRETARY LONG. Secretary of the Navy, John D. Leng is to be impeached by Con- gress it plans now being formulated can be carried out. His statement of Tuesday that Spain was freed from official respon- sibility for the accident to the Maine seems now to have been part of a gigantic plet on the part of Hanna, Long and Wall street manipulators to control the market. Within an hour after Long made the statement the listed stocks ef Wall street showed an aggregate gain of $20,000,000. The direct beneficiaries of the vast manipulation are said to be friends of Hanna and the administration and the evidence that Secretary Long was made the tool of Hanna seems overwhelming. Congressman James Hamilton Lewis of Washington has prepared resolutions of impeachment of the Seoretary of the Navy. They may be ruled cut by the Speaker, but the fact will get before the country and the finger of scorn will undoubtedly be pointed at the Secretary of the Navy. 2 3— To Consumptives.

New York, March 2.—A dispatch to the New York World from Lon- don says: “The suggestion in certain New York dispatches that in the event of | war between the United States and Spain the latter may receive active co-operation from some un-named| European power is treated with entire incredulity in political circles | the vote to be taken, Mr. Richardson C°!4 in head and have never tried | 7, of London. j “A reporter discussed the question | in the House oi Commons lobby) with several members of parliament the measure—125 to 101, and on/ Full size 50 who are authorities on European affairs.

He reiterated that view, saying: “*Nothiog has occurred to alter my opinion in that regard, although I cannot believe that war is likely to take place. any direct interest in helping Spain.’ “Thomas Gibson Bowles, M. P.. who had just delivered along and able speech in the House of Com- mons on the Far East imbroglio, said: “J should think it most unlikely that any European power would in- terpose to help Spain or otherwise. I don’t see what power is to do so. “There is no European interest touched by this Cuban business that would tempt any eountry to meddle with it. These statements indicate the general trend of opinion here which, while regarding the possibil- ity of war as remote, treats such an eventuality as purely au affair for the two countries concerned. It is right to add, however, that this skepticism about the possibility of war is not shared in diplomatic circles, leading members of the St. James club, where diplomatists prin- cipally foregather, state that an official belonging to the Spanish embassy said toacircle of friends: ““‘A rupture may take place any day, Spain being more likely to bring it about even than the United State. ‘The position of the Spanish government is becoming intolerable and the instant our cabinet becomes convinced that the United States really means war, Madrid will foree the situation to a head.’ ” Many People Cannot Drink coffee at night.

WHERE DEMOCRATS STAND. Chairman Cook Denies Foolish Stories About Democracy’s Leaders. Mexico, Mo., March 2.—Chairman Sam Cook of the Democratic State committee asys: “An effort is being made in seme quarters to make it appear that Mr. Bryan and other leading democrats favor the aban- donmeat of the democratic organiza- tion and the formation of a new political party. Neithe: Mr. Bryan nor any other representative demo- crat fayorsany such thing. What Bryan favors is exactly the policy recoramended by Chairman Jones of the National Democratic committee.” The Stats chairman says the re- ported interview with ex-Governor Stone the distinguished Missourian is made to say that he is opposed to “Mr. Bryan’s plan of amalgamation” was doctored to suit the enemies of democracy. Governor Stone did not speak of Mr. Bryan's plan of amal- gamation, but stands squarely with Chairman Jonee, Governor Stone and all other silver democrats. louse Kills Loud Bill. Washington, D. O., Mareh 3 —The Loud bill, to eorrect alleged abuses of the second class mail matter priv- ilege, which last year parsed the House by a majority of 144 te 104, was buried by an overwhelming ma- jority today. The vote was not taken on the bill. but on a motion to lay it on the table. By a vote of 162 to 119 the motion was carried. Forty-seven republicans joined with the democrats and populists in ac complishiog this result, and ten demoerats voted with the majority of republicans. The refusal of Mr. Loud to per- mit a vote on sn amendment at the last minute was respons ble, in a measure, for the result, but the strength of the measure undoubted ly wained throughout the three days debate. At 4 p. m., the hour set aside for (dem.) of Tennessee moved to lay the billon the table. A rising vote gave the victory to the opponents of | Mr. Loud’s demand the roll was St called.
