Preparing for a New Insur
rection of Spain.
DON CALOS IS 0 THE FROSTIER
Be la Waiting for the Signal to Cross
and Place Hlmnelf at the Head of
- Bis Followers The Situation at the
Spanish Capital.
New York, April 19. The reality of
the Carlist movement is, says the Lon
don correspondent of the World, now
too petentjo be anyMonger ignored. Don
Carlos is reported by eome of his Eng
lish sympathisers among whom 19 the
.Earl of Asbbarnham, an ultramontaine
peer and leading figure to have left
Venice and to be now waiting at some
convenient place to cross the Spanish
frontier at the proper moment and place
himself at the head of bis followers as in
former Carlist insurrections.
It is expected tbat a considerable body
of Catholic young men, including some
officers serving in the British army, will
volunteer for service with the Carlist?,
although they will have to proceed very
circumspectly in order to evade ' being
made ameanable to the foreign enlist
mentact, under which Jameson was
convicted.
' The local Carlisle are convinced that
the present Spanish dynasty is doomed,
and that Spain will be forces to choose
between republicanism and Don Carlos.
They add that the only chance of the
present dynasty is a successful war
against the United States, the possibility
of which is scouted.

SENDING OF THE '
ULTIMATUMTO SPAIN
Increased Activity in the
Departments Follows
the Statement.
WOODFORD IS TO LEAVE MADRID
Plans Are Being; Perfected for the Early
Blockading of One or More of the
Principal Ports of Cnba, and Bom
bardment. If Necessary, of the Cities.
Washington, April 20.
From this time on the war
preparations will go forward
with activity, and both the
army and navy will be put in
position for active operations.
There seems to be little doubt
that the first move will be to
blockade one or more Cuban
ports, and as soon as the army
of occupation can be trans
ported to them, and demand
will be made for uncondition
al surrender, and in -event of
refusal, the work of reducing
them by bombardment will
be" begun at once.
It is not thought the assembling of the
naval forces will be delayed even tor a
day, and it is not unlikely important
movements of both arms of the service
will be begun within the next few
hours. ' t
Pal ma and one of General Gomez'
brigadiers, it is said, have been consult
ing with General Miles today, arranging
for co-operation against Spain.
The administration has urged upon
the Republican leaders in both bouses
of congress the necessity of immediate
action on the measure introduced in the
house by Hull yesterday, authorizing
the president to issue, a call for volun
teers. . The bill is under consideration in
the house today, with the prospect that
it may be passed before the close of the
session this evening.
The movement of troops from all
parts of the cpuntry toward the ' points
of mobilization in the East and South is
fairly under way, and all will be at their
respective distinations within a few days
at least. , .
The remaining ladies of the United
States legation will leave ' Madrid to
night. Minister Woodford will leave
when Washington's final instructions
have been carried out.
FEW SPANIARD WILL LEAVE.
Flight for Them Means Impressment
Into the Spanish Army
New York, April 20. Spaniards in
bumble circumstances, residing in ; this
city, were amazed last night when tbey
learned that the Spanish government
meant only to give them tree, passage' as
far: as Havana. On Monday Consul
Baidasano published a notice that, he,
acting for his government, was prepared
to make arrangements for their transfer
from this city to Spanish dominions. .
They were told the steamer Panama
would carry them. While Havana is a
port of call of the Panama, they thought
they would be transferred at eome other
port of call tu one of the regular liners
of the same company, which would carry
them to Spain direct. . But St seems that
the Spanish- government contemplated
no such action, and last night' the eitna
tion was that while the 'wealthy, Span
iard might go wherever his money would
carry him, those sailing free would, be
landed at Havana.' i xi -X '
The Indignation at such- a course Was
widespread in the local colony. It was
pointed ont that for the impecunious
Spaniard to leave the city where his
right to ' life and." police protection ; is
guaranteed and be. landed in a town
which. will be starved or shelled or both
within a few days would be to place his
life in Jeopard.--' -r: :j
The mutterings against snch an ar
rangement were loud end deep, and it is
not improbable that; the Panama , will
carry, less than one-half of the Spanish
refugees which "it would be expected
wpuld.be on board berr.(i. ',-; ..: , :
' Arrangements have been made for 100
free passages. Np more. will be accepted.
Every male Spaniard landed in Havana
is being recruited forcibly. .The refn
gees would be eeized and made to do
military doty, so thatj the "protection"
which Spain is offering to those who are
unable to protest themselves by sailing
under a neutral flag is in reality a de
livery of them into the ranks of the
army of Cuba.

Washington, April 21. The North
Atlantic Squadron, it was learned short
ly after 3 o'clock this afternoon, had,
sailed for Havana from Key West. The
decision to send the fleet was reached at
the cabinet meeting this afternoon.
Hurried orders were dispatched to the
fleet to establish a blockade at the en
trance to Havaua harbor.
Later on the fleet will be supported by
troops, who will be dispatched to Cuba
as soon as in the opinion of the president
it is possible to use them advantagously
in the occupation of the island. Mean
while, as rapidly as troops can be rushed
to Key West and and other points on
they South Atlantic and .Gulf coasts,
they will be hurried forward. It is es
timated that it will take ten days to con
centrate an army sufficient m size with
supplies to make the campaign.
It is the purpose to gather these troops
and make a sharp, decisive, movement.
Immediately upon the passage of an
army volunteer bill by congrese, the
president will call for 100,000 men. Of
this it is intended to use 80,000 men in
Cuba, in conjunction with Mie regular
