Spanish M enures y Firmly KntnbllShrd
and Carlos Han No Show.
Londun, Jan. SI. The Madrid corne
apondenJ of The Times, In a letter re
viewing the situation In Spain, says:
"The prospects ot Carllsm Is waning.
The Garlists themselves complain that
Deo Carlos allowed a great opportunity
to slip when, six weeks ago, the coun
try was tilled with dismay and indig
nation at Use price of defeat. He might
have had a hope of success then, but
now the enthusiasm of even his ardent
admirers Is chilly, and the general
opinion is that he has little chanoe, the
subject is being dropped, the people
realizing that salvation is not to he
had that way. This result Is not due
to the suppression of Carlist propa
ganda. On the contrary, the govern
ment displays thr" greatest tolerance.
"The monarch) Is firmly established,
and the Carllsts themselves are too
strongly Interested in the industries
and welfare of the country to risk Its
ruin through revolution. The clergy,
owing to the pope's influence, are much
less Irreconclliable than formerly.
"The only danger lies In the Basque
provinces, but even there the people
would not fight unless they were well
paid. No doubt the pretender might
succeed If he could win over the army,
but there Is no sign that the army Is
10 Inclined."

however, agree that a change at the

jccrctrry Long Corrects a State

WEBE READY FOB SPANISH WAB.
At No Time Were the Vessel of Our
Navy short of Ammunition, mid the
Government Had a Liberal Snpply
In Unserve.
Washington. Jan. 31. Secretary Long
has addressed a letter to denerul Stew
art L. Woodford In which he says: "I
find the papers attribute to you cer
tain statements with regard to the
supply of ammunition in the navy dur
ing the war which are so erroneous
that I cannot believe you have been
correctly quoted. I have asked the
liurenu of ordnance to give me the ex
act facts and Inclose you a copy of the
statement. I am sure you will lie glad
to read It." Then follows the report
from the ordnance bureau, signed by
Charles O'Neill, chief of the bureau. It
is us follows:
"Referring to the reported speech of
General Woodford at the Army and
Navy club at New York on Saturday
evening last, in which he is quoted as
saying "that on Feb. 18, 1S9X. three
days after the Maine was blown up in
Havana harbor, he received Informa
tion by telegraph that this government
did nut possess powder enough to pro
vide the warships and forts with two
rounds for each gun," so far as relates
to the navy. Is an error, as every ves
sel was practically lllled up with net
allowance of ammunition.
"The regulations of the department
prescribe that 'the reserve ammuni
tion for guns of the main battery, ex
cept on monitors and coast defense
vessels, shall not be allowed to fall be
low 40 rounds per gun for six Inch
caliber and above, nor below 50 rounds
per gun for the rapid fire guns,' anil no
vessel of the navy was reduced so low
as this.
"In addition to the supply of am
munition afloat the navy had a fair
amount In reserve, especially of pro
jectiles. There were less rounds ,,f
powder per gun than of shell, and for
tills reason, by direction of the secre
tary, an emergency ordar was placed
for powder on Jan. 15. IhOS. Just on"
month before the destruction of the
Maine, and by the 151 h of February,
the date of that catastrophe, the navy
department had about 750.000 pounds
of powder In reserve, and It was being
turned out in large quantities dully.
"So far us relates to the supply of
ammunition on Dewey's ship, the fact
Is they never were reduced below the
limit prescribed by the department, ami
they could have safely gone into ac
tion without receiving further supply.
The vessels engaged expended only
about one-third of their allowance.
"As further showing the state of tie
ammunition supply of this fleet. It Is
remarked that on Nov. i, 18'J7, orders
were lieued by the bureau of ordnance
to the Mare Island navy ynrd to pre
pare for the Olympla, Boston and
Petrel a quantity of ammunition which
would completely llll their allowance
and give them one-quarter target prac
tice In addition. This ammunition was
forwarded as rapidly as possible, thus
filling up all the vessels of the Asiatic
fleet, but without this they were in
condition to go Into battle,
"As soon as the department learned
that a battle had been fought steps
Were taken to make further shipments
to the Mast Indies. These shipments
were made In anticipation of possible
further need of the squadron, and were
Sstnt after the battle of Manila bay."
Colorado's Marvelous (.,,1,1 strike.

London, Jan. 11. The Paris corre
spondent of The Dally Mall says:
"Dady Randolph Churchill (formerly

Brooke Not to no Itecalled.
Washington, Jan. 31. Careful In
quiry at the war department discloses
the fnct that the president has taken
no action towards supplanting General
Brooke by General Wood as governor
general of Cuba, and (here Is also good
ground for the statement that he has
no such intention.
