BOLIVIA RECOGNIZES CUBA
Wheat Goes Climbing Towards the Dol
lar Mark Coast .Fortifications
Being Poshed.
Washington, Nov. 13. While the
navy ia being placed on a war footing in
anticipation of possible trouble with
Spain, growing out of the Cuban rebel
lion, the army is equally active in its
warlike preparations, especially along
the South Atlantic coast. General
Craighill, chief of engineers of the army
has just returned from a hurried inspec
tion of the fortifications now in course of
construction at Galveston, Fort San
Fhillipe, on the the Mississippi river
below New Orleans, Mobile, Pensacola,
Key West, and further islands.
These works ot coastwise defense have
been Quietly but rapidly pushed toward
completion, and General Craighill has
reported to the secretary of war that all
or nearly all of them will be ready for
occupancy by Decembsr 15.
General Craighill would not say that
work on theee fortifications and the or
ders for their immediate completion had
any bearing upon the Cuban question,
but he placed a significant emphasis up
on the remark that, "Just now we ate
exerting all the energy of the engineer
corps in the work upon these fortifica
tions." "
At the last sesion of congress an ap
propriation of $,5,000,000 1 was provided
for immediate expenditure npon the
coast defenses from Maine to Texas, be
sides as much more for contracts. This
being an unusually liberal amount, or
ders were given to exercise all due haste
in the work along the Southern coast.
General Craighill says the work on the
fortifications has been pushed forward
to the exclusion ot other business of the
engineering department. He is grati
fied to report that they will be. ready to
receive their armanent not later than
the middle of next month.
CUBANS RECOGNIZED.
Sensation Cansed In Peru by the Action
or BollTla.
Lima, Peru, Nov. 13 Something of a
sensation has been caused here by the
news received yesterdayfrom Sucre, Bo
livia, of a favorable report made by the
committee on foreign affairs of the Boliv
ian chamber of deputies on a decision to
recognize the Cuban insurgents as bellig
erents.
Upon hearing the news, the Spanish
envoy to Pern, Senor Devanello, who i 8
also accredited to Bolivia, immediately
0, set oat for Sucre to look after Spanish
interests in that capital, and presumab
ly to lodge a protest on behalf of his
government against the proposed action.
Further advices received today from
Sucre show that the congress had an ex
citing and stormy session to consider the
resolution. - The president of the cham
ber declared the resolution adopted, and
I the senate proceeded to approve it in the
midst of loud protests from excited sen
ators and great confusion in the senate
chamber, so that the session finally had
to be suspended.'
