atoriously conaldered, on Saturday took et
itloa and mad preparations tha algnlfl

Slew, however, knowledge of what tha war
department ta doing and Inlenda to do,

More important than anything that haa

a tenarai movement ef tha regular cav-

Of course It will be necessary to leave
some troops In remote sec lions where In

troops of Infantry and cavalry, even those

Seven regiments of artillery are now dis

Dee Not Want War.
Be nor Polo y Bernabe, tha new Spanish
minister, talking with a reporter at
Washington, ei pressed himself as satis
fled that neither the United States nor
Spain wants war. The minister referred
to tha fact that the Cuban cabinet had
appointed a commlasion to negotiate a civ
il treaty with this country aa another art
dance of the complete autonomy acheme
In Cuba. Speaking of the present policy
of Spain In Cuba, the minister aald:
"The government haa granted autonomy
on tha broadeat and most liberal lines. It
la designated to give to the Cuban people
the complete direction of their Internal
affairs, thus gratifying the honorable am
bition of the Cubana, while, at the same
time, maintaining the historic allegiance
of Cuba aa a colony of Spain. Tha gov
ernment la not executing this plan grudg
ingly, or with any technical restrictions
Already much haa been accomplished, and
there la tha fullest confidence that the
plan will be carried Into full execution.
PAINTING.
Naturally, with an Insurrection dragging
toward its close, there sre difficulties tn
the way of a complete realization of plans
so comprehensive as to embrace the en
tire Internal machinery of Cuba." The
minister was asked If he viewed the pres
ent conditions of affairs between the Unit
ed States and Spain aa Indicating war.
After a moment's hesitation he answered
gravely:
"I am sure that the United States doe
not want war. Just as I am sure that tb
Spanish government doea not want war,
and will do everything honorable In it
power to avert such a calamity,"
