Taoctaids Spent Tt Pment lha Dfpamro of tho FUlbuters ALL DOSS THAT WAS POSSIBLE Washington, Oct tt It Is not doubted snwag Officials that the basis the Spanish' reply to Mr. Woodford's note Will the ejurg that the fjnitad States bag ant obstMsd the requirements of international law in the matter of preventing filibustering.

In this ease the State Department will have some pertinent facts to present, which Us officials believe una completely alienate from Spain any sympathy that aha may have attracted front other European nations on that score. It Is asserted positively that in no tangle rase where the Spanish authorities have brought to the attention of our Government the fact that an illegal expedition wan about to start from our shores for Cuba has It neglected to use ail the means permitted by our laws to prevent the start, it has been ao Indulgent la this respect aa to accept statements front the Spaniah officials, not accompanied by proofs of ths facta alleged, but rnere suggestions that they had reason to believe that an expedition was forming. Tbe expense of maintaining the patrol along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts have been very heavy. Kvery time the State Department has been obliged to ail upon a collector at a port the result has been heavy bill of expensea for tugav special officers and other charge, while tha Attorney General's office, and. In fact, moat of the executive departments, have been put to more or taws trouble snd expense.

Th Navy Department especially baa been cm ban ass 11 d. owing to the necessity for diverting vessels from other places for the disagreeable Florid patrol. One efflclal roughly estimated tbe expense th United States has been tut tn to protect the Cuban coast for Spain nt about S3.0M.aga. Tbia is probably a large estimate, but one naval emcer, who la thoroughly cognisant of tbe Unfa put upon the department by the patrol. Stated that It would' really be cheaper for th United States to send a fleet to Cube, and blockade the coast there against incoming filibusters than to try and atop them on our.

own extensive coast line. Altogether the officials her are confident of their ability to ahow that "the Government baa more than complied with the requirements of International law, which as laid down In the Alabama, arbitration simply demands that a natron us due diligence" to prevent the departure of hostile expeditions. On this phase of the case, tbe correspondence may be kept sHve between tha State Department nnd Spaniah Government until Congress meets, but It Is expect-ed that unless some results tn the direction of suggestions of htn Woodford are forthcoming by that time, th President will refer the entire mutter to Congress and await It order. Up to th close of office hours to-day, Spaiaa reply had not been presented at the State Department. It was stated also tn other quarters by those ta a posi tion to know wnat nan occurred at Madrid, that tbe answer hsd not been deuvered to Minister Woodford up to to-day.

It baa been approved by the Cabinet, however, and Is to be communicated to Minister Woodford tote to-day or to-morew. A denial wan made from aa authoritative souro that Minister Depuy de Lome had intimated to the State Department that Spain would resort to the search and Sets are of suspected American vessels on th high seas If filibustering expeditions continued to leave this country. The reports, it Is believed, grew out of visits made by the Minister to the department last Monday and Thursday. At these visits he sailed tbe attention of the officials to the circumstances of the departure' of th alleged filibuster Silver Heels, after th authorities were put In possession of explicit Information of the plans of the vessel. Regret waa expressed by tbe Minister at thla occurrence, as It waa felt It would create bad Impression at Madrid, at time when the Government waa maturing its policy.
