SPAIN’S PLAN OF ATTACK.

Massing an Armada to Strike allin -

one Fell Swoop.

| The Madrid correspondent of a New

York paper writes :

Every hour the United States delays

| ; Supceme action means disaster for our | flaz.

Phe whole naval plan of Spanish attack

has been changed. It is now evident thet

| Cape de Verde with the torpedo flotilla at ; Cad z; this force will be united with the battleships Pelayo, Carlos V., Namancia, Vizeaya, Oquendo and other powerful

ships which are being rapidly made ready for fighting. The fleet will be in creased by every available cruiser,

Spain realizes that she must be defeated in the end, but her policy now is to send out one armada and «trike one glorious | make spanish bearis

big

terrible blow that wil!

evitable, It is now «almost certain that the Spauish navy inteuds to stake all on one fleet, and that it will ce the strongest force of which the nation is capable.

Tne Spanish admirals have advised the Government that if they can get several weeks delay before the United States acts they can seud across the ocean a fleet so organized that a fortuvate stroke or two by the torpedo boats may place the American fleet at mercy. Ido not pretend to estimate the sc entific value of this naval programme, but it is time to sound an alarm throughout the United States against further loss of time before our fleet blockades and oceupies Cuban ports.

There is not a serious man here who does not know that the issue between the United States and Spain is no longera diplomatic, but a military question. The Spanich Ministry is united in its deter- mination to fight rather than withdraw one soldier from Cuba.

The order for cessation of hostilities sent to Blanco was a mere trick by which the Spaniso Government hoped to secure

tue temporary withdraw: 1 of the American | equadrone from the vicinity of Cuba and the Philippines. I can personally vouch for the fact that within two hours after the Ministers decided to order the cessa-~ tion of hortilities Sagasta told an indignant friend that the order to Blanco amounted to nothing, as the Cubans would not cease fighting, but that the United States might be ieduced to retire its combined ships.
