New York, August 6,h.-A dispatch
from the Thousand Isles says the Presid-
ent was interviewed yesterday. He said
he considered the result in North Carolina
Republican victory. He was not anxious
for second term, but consented to serve
in the nomination simply because he
thought the best way Of discov vering whether
a majority of is couutrymeD believed what
was alleged against is administration
and himself personally, The asperi'ies Of
the election campaign to be added will
give my political opponent and my personal
enemies an excuse to say all that can be
said against me. All those who have been
treated unfairly have now chance to
declare themselves He didn't personally
covet the the p esidency for 81 cond term,
but would test the sentiments of his fellow
citizens ia his behalf

LONDON, Feb. 20. The Times, this

WASHINGTON, Feb. %. Reverdy John

treaty in Baltimore last night, used this
language in speaking of the negotiations
while he was Minister to England:
"Now, gentlemen, neither | nor Mr. Adj

CIVIL WAR IMMINENT IN SPAIN
The Italian King of Spain has, after
a reign of thirteen months, remarkable
only for the extent to which expression
of disconnent with the ruling Ministry
could be given and needed in Madrid,
declared his disgust with the ungovern-
able disposition of the Spanish people,
and asked of his papa leave to 60 home.
At the same time another telegram
states that Senior Sagasta had formed a
new Ministry, including men of oppo-
site political opinions, whose very compo-
sition renders it impossible that it should
be long lived
A civil war in Spain has been immi-
nent ever since Amadeus was enthroned
and to-day it appears inevitable. The
whole peninsula is one mass of seethine
political and personal animosities, and
each fraction depends only on the good
will of the army to carry it into power
To gain this good will the preservation
of Spanish authority in Cuba is an in
despcnsble condition; for from time i'm
memorial Cuba has always been consid-
cred alike by officers and soldiers as le
ultimately their own pasture ground.
In the event, however, of a civil wal
becoming general in Spain, Cuba must
speedily effect her independence, because
the Spanish army there would be de-
prived of the continued requirements
with which it has been supplied for three
years and half, and because the great
er portion of the Spanish feet would
have to be withdrawn for use nearer
home.

that three million dollars annually are

Never trust your money, not even post

ton you know nothing about. The big
ger the promise, the more likely you
will be caught. Avoid all advertisers
who offer you remedies for nothing
there will be some gouging behind men

market price they will cheat you in
some way. Honest men find better
way to bestow charity.
