It was announced from Madrid Sunday that the Spanish foreign office had inti- 330 Wednesday, with 15 minutes of | mated to Ambassador Woodford that Spain would regard it as a graceful act in the interest of peace for President McKinley to recal] Consul General Lee from Havana; at the same time it was intimated that the sending of relief supplies to the starving Cubans in American warships would be re- garded as an unfriendly act on the part of the United States; President McKinley re- plied that under no circumstances would he agree to recall General Lee, being en- tirely satisfied with his official conduct at Havana. The order detailing the cruisers Nashville and Montgomé@ry to carry sup- plies to Cuba was revoked and the dis- patch boat Fern was designated to per- form the service. By a unanimous vote in both houses Congress appropriated $50,000,- 000 to be placed in the hands of the Pre: dent to take such precautions as he might see fit to place the country in a position of defense in case of war. Active prepara- tions for a conflict were pushed by both the army and navy. The bill providing for two additional regiments of artillery was passed and became a law. Active enlist- ment for both the army and navy was car- ried on in most of the large cities. Com- mander W. H. Brownson, U. S. was sent to Europe to negotiate for the pur- chase of warships available for service in case of It was rumored that Spain had succeeded in purchasing two cruisers from Brazil and three more from Chile, but these rumors were subsequently denied, and it was reported that the United States had succeeded in securing the same ves- sels; the rumor was that Spain had se- cured the necessary funds to ke pur- chases of warships from French financiers, Rumors of a French-Spanish alliance were contradicted and reaffirmed. There was considerable newspaper comment on a ru- mored alliance between the United States and Great Britain, a visit cf the British ambassador furnishing the basis for the report. At Havana the court of inquiry continued its work, and it was unofticially announced that its report was about ready to be forwarded to the President; all the unofficial rumors and reports tended to confirm those previously sent out from Ha- vana to the effect that the court had dis- covered unmistakable evidence that the blowing up of the Maine was caused by a mine or torpedo exploded under her port side forward. Senor Peral, president of the Spanish court of inquiry investigating the cause of the disaster, was quoted as saying the explosion was due to internal causes. The cruiser Montgomery took the place of the Fern at Havana in connection with the work of the court of inquiry. Prince Al- bert of Belgium, heir apparent to the throne of that country, reached Washing- ton in the course of his tour to America, and received distinguished attentions from the President and other officials. The American schooner Esther was seized in Cuban waters by the Spanish gunboat Ar- della, whose captain inquired the reason of her presence there; the Esther's captain protested against the seizure. A number of political prisoners at Havana were sent to The new Spanish minis- ter, Senor Bernabe, arrived in Washington. The Senate passed the bill for the relief of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Ten- nessee, appropriating $288,000.
