LONDON, April 23.—(New York World Cablegram.)—Arthur Balfour's statement in tho House of Commons this evening that iho Spanish govern rnent had not yet replied to the request of the BrUnn government relating to Its attitude towi-d the declaration of Paris needs some explanation It can be stated by the best authority that Spain sent a reply so evasive In char acter as to be vl.vialiy no reply at all. The British charge d’ affairs at Madrid yesterday was Instructed to present a further note on the subject, couched In urgent terms, asking a dec laration of Spain's Intentions. It is Mleved If the reply is unsatisfactory England will retort by shutting Its ports for coal to both belligerents. The fear of such a reprisal is tho only Influence England can now exert at Madrid, where its attitude is so bl* terly resented. There is a loud press and popular demand that all English as well as American correspondents to be conducted to the frontier. Balfour hopes to have Spain's answer Monday. Unless a change supervenes la the tem per of tnc Madrid cabinet it Is fully be lieved the answer, despite the probable consequences, will be unfavorable. It is significant that, the Bpanlsh Naval ^ commission at London consented in at p least two cases to consider npplbatlons from English adventurers for letters of marque. Learning this the naval com mission was warned by the British government against committing any plica nts were advised tonight to ad dress themselves direct to Madrid. 1 heard from a. member of Parlia ment of a projected privateering syn dicate. The scheme was to send an eighteen-knot steamer fitted with a email, quick-firing and Nordenfelt funs around the Pacific roast with the Idea of making a descent on Seattle at the time the miners are flocking down from the Klondike with their hoards. My informant regarded the scheme as W chimerical, but said that it bad been fully derided on should Spain issue It letters of marque. War Is the exclusive topic of con '■* versatlon here and the evening papers are having unprecedented sale. News fc of the first capture by the cruiser | Nashville caused extraordinaiy excite ment and Intolllgcnre of the first en gagement Is awaited with acute ex pectancy. Naval experts are antici pating reports of the behavior of the Iowa and other heavilv armored Amer ican war ships with the deepest Inter est. Sir William White, chief Instruc tor of the British navy, and his school, hold that these ships are over gunned, while the equally representative op posing school maintain on the con trary that the British battleships are undergunned. If the American vessels will answer expectations It will cause a revolution in the arming of the Brjt lsh and other navies of the world. THE ELEET GETS UNDER WAY. The Formidable Ship* at Key West Move at Daylight. KEY WEST, April LM—The North Atlantic squadron, except the moni tors Terror and Puritan and the small er cruisers, sailed from Key Wc’t at 6:45 o'clock yesterday morning head ed fov the t-Torida straits.

Throughout the long night unusual activity on the vessels told weary watchers on shore that the long awaited advance on Havana was near «t Vw>n/I irnf t Imi'u wan tmlhlno nffi - clal on which to found that belief. Washington advices of the day be fore indicated the probability of a movement during the night or yester day, but the naval men ashore dis claimed any knowledge of orders. They still averred that their condition of uncertainty was unchanged. Early in the evening came the first realization of the fact that the tedious period of inaction was nearing its close. When signals were hoisted re calling all the men to th» ships with out delay many Interpreted this as a precautionary measure. es]H*clally In view of the fact that a number of of ficers. Including several men from the flagship, remained ashore and had a leavs for the night.

The first streaks of the morning light were crossing from the east and two bells ' had Just sounded from the ships, when ! tiny, and to unfamiliar eyes, an al most imperceptible line of fire appear ed on the sky above where lay the flagship. A moment or two later the signal staiT of the Cincinnati, lying off Fort Taylor in the inner harbor, flashed into colored light, acknow ledging the rail. The Purl:an and He lena polned in the incandescent con versation and soon the skies were kaleidoscopic as ship after ship ans wered and new lights ticked messages fraught with the greatest importance and creative of history. What the words were of course no one ashore knew, but the few who watched with straining eyes from the dock need ed no Interpreter that it meant hos tile action. The mess: go was long In delivery, and sunrise had fully come as the last letter flickered and went out. Then the witness saw that the movement had actually begun under cover of the night. The big ships could still be discerned in the distance, but the others had moved toward them, the flagship drawing other ships of the squadron to it. The Wilmington and Amphitrltee had slipped from their anchorage and advanced within hailing distance of the flagship. It was Just 5:42 when the New York, without unnecessary display, moved pompously and slow ly toward the outer waters of the. gulf. The red light flashed the signal to eager eves on the following fleet, and told them to get in motion at last. PROCLAIM BLOCKADE OF CUBA. All Northern Ports are Included In the Proclamation.

COMPANIES FILLING IP RAPIDLY. F Mil Strength of the State’s Army and Arrangements for Field Work. Lincoln dispatch. The belief is now general that the Nfi' rask-i Na tiona. Guard will be called upon to form part of the army for the invasion ui Cuua. and every preparation la bo ng made, both at the headquarters and oy mdiviutials wno make up the guard. The indications are th >t there will be no shirking when the call comes. Instead of there bel lg any applications for discharges there is a flood of enlistment papers coming in, being sent by companies that are recruiting to their full strength. About 200 new members of the guard have been enrolled in the last ten days. In on instance, that of tne lignt ir.iantry of Lincoln, the terms of a number of ,.e memoers wu. expire within me next month, and so far as can be learned all of them wHIl apply for re enne.ment. 'me new clothing and equipment for the guard will all be here in a few days, the tase and some other artic.es naving already been received. The Second Regiment band, whch was mustered into the service here v tncoln in 1S95, has become disorgan ized, only ubout a dozen members be ing hero at the present time, and no effort being made to seep up an ai live organisation. On this account it Is probable that during this we k t.ic members will be .mulshed their discharges, and the Hastings band will in: iiiUDiriuu si* «*n uic *>*»**- ..v*. , hand, it is acid that the Hastings band is a strong organization, and in it • is members are anxious to get must ered in in time to go south w.th the regiment. ThiB is also the desire of the officers of the department, a* they want to have a good hand of music with the Nebraska troops. Lathering Labor Statistics. The labor bureau has furnished blanks to the precinct assessors all over me state, upon which are to he returned the agricultural and indus trial statistics. The instructions are that a blank be filled out by each tax payer, showing the amount of grain raised, yield per acre, number of acres planted this year, number of hands employed and average wages paid. In the cities and towns com plete reports are to be made on all manufacturing enterprises. Including product turned out, number of hands employed and wages paid. This will double the work of the ass2ts;rs and much complaint is being made. It is found that in the rural districts the taxpayers have Kept no account i f taelr farming operations for me last year and each visit of the nsFesro.' necessitates a long delay, while the farmer figures over his affairs and tries to remember how much wheat lie raised, the total wages paid to tlf hored man and the kinds of grain sowea and the number of acres culti vated during the present season. The assessors get no pay for this extra work and many of tb-m are sorry they were electi d. Some of them have figured out that, rather than spend so much lime with each person it will be cheap er to have extra blanks printed anit mail them to the taxpayeis in advance of the visit, so that the statistics may be made up and ready when the offi cer comes to list, the property. In such cases, however, the assessors have to pay the expense of the extra printing and postage. The informa tion to be gathered will he of great value to the public and if the asses - ors do their whole duty the state will receive much benefit from the work. Reunion Just the Same. Many old soldiers throughout the state, says L. C. Face, of Lincoln, are mating inquiries relative to the re union to be held in that city next full snd hp svvs the fact that there will be x great exnositlon <tt Omaha at the time of the reunion, will in nowise lessen the attendance or the interest of the soldi, rt’ gath ering. Thousands of old soldiers who attend the Trans-MisslsslppI exposi tion front other states will run down to Lincoln to visit old comrades. The railroads will make such rates be tween Lincoln and Omaha as will in duce thousands who attend at Omaha to run down to our reunion, end in view of this and other consideration* the local committee will try to mu'; • the next reunion the most interesting and eujoyable one yet held. No Assembly Thin Year. The people of Nebraska sad Kan sas who have been planning to bare an outing at the Beatrice Chatauqua the coming summei will lie dtsan pointed to learn that there will be no ] assembly this year. Public annouue rocui of the fact was mails last week i art reasons g'ven for the decision are several.

K System that Seems to Be Proving a Wise Provision. The parole system at the hospital for the Insane, savs a Lincoln corre spondent of the Omaha Bee, whereby convalescent or mild [patients may bo sent out of tho inistitutlon and placed in the care of friends, has proven to be a wise provision In the regulation of the hospital, not only making mora room for new patients, but lessening tne expense of mose wno are afflicted with only a mild form of insanity. After a medical report is made by t.io physicians, tho state board inquires into ino case and allows the patient to be Darolrd with some responsible party who Is usually a relative, for the pe riod of ninety days, the state during this time being relieved of all expense. At the end of the ninety days the pa tient mav be retnrned to the hospital If the derangement is such as to make him unmanageable or unsafe to be left unrestrained. If no application is ms.de for a return to the institution, however, a final discharge is given. When patients are brought hack at the end of the narole term tho expense must be paid bv the outside parties up to the time that the patient is re ceived back into the Institution. The release of patients on parole befo.e Anal discharges are made often has n good effect In bringing about a com plete cure. But there are Instances where the present svstem is abused. One ha.; just come to the attention of the manage ment of the asvluin. which required prompt action. The case la that cf a Swede girl who lived In a ccnuty In the central part of the Btate. She be came mentally derang d. but only In a mild form. After being confined in the nsvlum for a few months she was paroled to her brother-in-law. a farmer living In the same neighborhood from which she was sent. The mm gate good references to the board and seem ed anxious for the future v.el aie cf the girl. Nothing further was heard from the case untHl a few days ago when eomnlbinf wan made to Sutler.ntindent Abbot that the girl was not receiving good treatment. People in the neigh borhood said that she was a!;uied, forced to work In the field like u man. and was not allowed to leave the pla'e on anv excuse. Dr. Abbott Inquired into the matter, found out that the reports of ill treatment were true, and today telegraphed the autto i its of the county to immediately take the girl awav from the custody of tSo brother-ln-Iawc and provide for her until farmer arrangements could be made. The letters received by Dr. Abbott in response to his inquiries showed that the brother-in-law had secured the parole of the girl In otder that he might have her take the place of a hired hand on the farm. The (iovernmeat Exhibit. Captain H. C. Ward. U. S. A., the representative of the hoard of mana gers of the government exhibit of tbe Trans-Mississippi exposition, has re ceived notice that a portion of the war department exhibit haB been ship ped and will arlve in Omaha with n a few days.
