THE BEE: ( SPAIN STRENGTHENING ARMY Alfonso Preparing to Defend Do- main After Present War Ends, if Neoessary. (Correspondence of the Assoctated Press.) MADRID, June 22.—~The Spanish gov ernment recently has been active in the preparation of military and naval arma- | ment. Artillery, small arms and projec- tile factories are working night and day, | and the minister of war, desirous himeelf of learning their capacity, has during the § last Beveral dayw visited those at Trabia, ’ Ovideo, Granada and Seville Milltary and naval commissions have | left for the United States and Italy for | the purpose of acquiring arms and am- | munition, as well as the machinery for thelr manufacture. There Is talk also of the acquisition by Spain of a number of | submarines and of large quantities of| ‘ mines for coast defense plrposes. | All the activities are being conducted with the greatest secreey, the govern- ment having requested the press to matn tain rigld silence on the subject. It fs #ald that the motive behind these war- like preparations is by no means to enter the present European conflict on either #ide, but to strengihen Epain and to pre pare it for any event which may follow the present war. .. The idea seems to be that Spain should | be able to defond ita own territory and partioularly the Balearic fslands and the | Canary felands, should Spanish posses- | slons enter into the calculations of the | makers of the final terms of peace. Besides this motive, the Spanish gov- i ernment, prominent Spaniards say, fully z yrealizes that it has been negligent in oo «military and naval matters and, in view 10f the complete unexpectedness of some of the events which have characterized the present conflict, now finds It the | “part of wisdom to be prepared ageinst any event. Buggestions that those preparations on the part of Spain may be indicative of dosigns against Portugal or Gibraltar, are Indignantly denied here.
