Madrid, Mareh 4.—The public is much excited over the report of the | presence of a squadron of United States warships at Hong Kong, as it| is presumed the vessels intended to] threaten Manila, the central capital of the Philippine Islands, in the event | of war between the United States and Spain. The Imparcial in the article | headed ‘To Manila to New York’’| quotes an unnamed high personage | and scouts the idea of an imminent! rupture and says: “The presence of the warships at Hong Kong is only Washington's policy with the view of contenting the jingoes.’* The ‘high personage’? have added : But Arnerica has not warships as to warrant such bold action, Ifthe Yankees go to the Philippines the Spaniards will go to New York,”’ The Globe remarks: “The govern- ment is aliye to the critical situation and is silently preparing for the worst But it is too diplomatic to disclose the procedure by which it is prepar- ing for emergencies.” In conclusion the Globe says: ‘Fortunately the tranquil prepara- tions of the government are the best assurance that it will be ready when the occasion requires it, The public seeing the coolness of Senor Sagasta should comprelend that he means acts not words.
