st. Louis, January 20.-The
Republic this morning, in sum
marizing dispatches from Flor
ida, New York and Washing
ton says:
A crisis has been reached in
the Cuban war Recognition OF
the billegerency of the patriot
army by the United States is
imminent President Cleveland
is said to have prepared a pro-
clamation, which may be issued
today or in the Immediate
future. The president. il is
declared, intended to recognize
the insurgents last week, when
he learned of the recall of Gen.
eral Campos, but under the
circumstances the executive
thought that such action would
be regarded as inoppcrtuue and
unfriendly to Spain, and he,
therefore, withheld the import
ant document impending the
appointment of a successor to
Campos. Within the past forty
eight hours, however, President
Cleveland is said to have learn
ed that Spain, despairing of a
successful termination of the
war, had offered 10 Sell Cuba
TO Great Britain.
The belief is held in some
quarters that the British flying
squadron is destined for Amer
lean waters. If this is so, war
will result. Official information
from the White House is lack
ing, but it is evident that So.
rious complications are at
hand.
Senior Palma, head of the
Cuban party in the United
States, wires from Washington,
Our case is complete; the pres
ident and congress will recog-
nize the insurgent cause.
Senior Palma adds that it is
not necessary that the ipsur-
gents should hold a port, bur
that as a matter Of fact General
Gomez has taken half u dozen
ports in the past week, leaving
the Spanish army penned up in
Havana.
The president, it is said, vii
issue proclamation immedia

WHY THE ARC
LIGHT KISSES.

A1NI Ii IllOOTsC.
Prof. Sylvanus Thompson
has been answering a question
which has often puzzled the
public. The arc light proceeds
from the points Of two little
carbon rods as large as ones
little finger. Prof. Thompson
explains what is the state of
the carbon WHEN the lamp is
throwing out its lighr. He says
that the carbon is sometimes
actually melting, a thing that
was until recently thought i'm
possible. Moreover, he says
that when the light Kisses the
liquid carbon is really boiling.
In ordinary combustion the
state of the arc center is such
that the solid carbon below is
covered with a layer of film OF
liquid carbon just boiling
or evaporating off. When
kissing takes place a new state
of things is set up. He says.
IF you watch a short, Kissing
arc, you will see a column OF
light concentrating itself on a
narrow spot, and the spot keeps
moving about and is very I'M
stable in position, as wei as
the amount of light it gives out.
The center surface after the arc
has been kissing is found to be-
literally honeycombed. When
the arc is kissing you can see
little bits erupted out and the
Kissing seems to be comparable
to the Kissing which takes place
in boiling water. There is, in
fact, exactly the same kind of
between the silent
arc and the kissing arc as be-
tween quiet evaporation and u
noisy boiling. Milwaukee

to take so important a STEP
while the official head of The
revolution in this country is
enjoying the protection oil
American citizenship. Score
tary Olney has not felt
so much embarrassment from
these causes. He has been
for some time in favor oil
Immediate recognition and has
been urging the president on,
but MIR. Cleveland, naturally
cautious has moved with great
drliberation. Something has
transpired within the past
day or two, however, to
change this policy. Wash
ington advices are accurate.
1t is rumored in Washi ng
ton that Spain has offered
to sell Cuba to Great Britain
and that negotiations for the
cession of The island to the
British crown are now pending.
Spain. il is said, has abandon
ed all hope OF qneliing the in.
surrection. ! report has it that
the president may go beyond
the original proposition and re-
coglze the Independence Of
Cuba. This, however, way be
taken with a large grain of salt.
There is a distinction between
Independence and belligerency.
Belilgerency can recognized
when insurgents have establish
ed themselves on basis of ap
parent permanency by having
military establishments able TO
cope with the armies OF the pa
rent country and have establish
ed Il form of government. In
dependence, on the other hard,
according 10 the principles and
invariable practice of the Unit
ed States, is recognized "only
when The legal government of
another nation by its establish
ment in the actual exercise of
political power is supposed to
have received the express or
implied assent of the people"
The president, according to
this version of the story, learn
I'd of the proposed deal, and
after a conference with Senior
Palma determined to nip it in
the bud by recognizing state
of war in Cuba and enforcing
helligerent rights as laid down
in international law. The hasty
orders for troops, ii they really
have been given, can mean but
one thing--to wit; That the
United States will resist any
attempt on the part of Spain to
oEerge from the war by ceding
Cuba to Great Britain or any
European country. If the crisis

from Washington and in an

NOTE AND COMMENT.

If the Illustrations In the Eastern
papers now at hand of the results In
st. Louis and East ST. Louis of the
recent tornado are Sc much as ten per
cent. accurate, then the dispatches have
given us no sufficient account of the
horrors and the awfulness of the de-
struction by the storm.
It would have been far better for the
Mayor of st. Louis to have admitted
the need for assistance at the outset.
But he declared that st. Louis could
take care Of her own. That was a bit
of pride, the manifestation of which
has not commanded respect. Now it
turns out that ST. Louis does need as
siStance; that she cannot raise suffi-
cient means to help those thrown out
OF employment by the great storm be-
cause so many of her moneyed people
are distressed by loss of property and
interruption of business. Nevertheless,
now that the appeal for assistance has
been made, it should be responded to
generously, even lavishly Every cent
will help, and the smallest gift, if ac-
cording to ability, will find its full re-
ward In the satisfaction of having done
q generous act.

MRS. FOX DISCHARGED.
She D0used q Chinaman Who Badly
Needed Bath.

Mrs. Nellie Fox, who resides in the old
Postoffice Building at Fourth and K
streets, was arraigned in the Police
Court yesterday morning on charge of
battery, sworn to by Sing Fong, who
is cook in a K-Street restaurant
Sing said Mrs. Fox had dumped a
bucket of slops down upon him from
her window, and his testimony in that
respect was corroborated by the lady
herself. But she represented that Sing
had played the part of 'peeping
jack upon her movements, and had
otherwise aroused her anger by calling
her vile names when her baby chanced
to knock tin kettle out of the window
into the Chinaman's kitchen yard. She
said the bucket contained only clear
water, and the Court evidently believed
the Chinaman was in need of bath,
for Mrs. Fox was discharged
There was talk of arresting Sing for
disturbing the peace of Mrs. Fox, but it
ended in talk.

That hideous and deathly


E-F 1-demon of sickness-constipa-
tion, is an easy enough thing to cure if
you take the right medicine. Constipa-
ton is one of the commonest things in the
world 1t Is really one of the most seri-
Gus things. Fully nine-tenths of all the
ordinary sickness of mankind is due to
this one cause. If you place an obstruc-
ton in the gutter, it will stop the flow Of
water, and gradually mass of poison
ous, putrefying matter will accumulate.
That is exactly what happens In the
digestive organs when constipation be-
gins. Poisonous matter accumulates and
IS forced into the blood. 1t goes all over
the body and causes all sorts of symp-
TOMS A few of these are dizziness, fatu-
lence. heartburn, palpitation, headaches,
loss of appetite, loss OF sleep, foul breath,
distress after eating, biliousness and erup-
tions of the skin. These things are un-
pleasant, but they are not serious. The
serious things come afterward. Doctor
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are for the cure
of constipation. They are tiny, sugar
coated granules, easy to take, mild and
efficient in their action. One is gentle
laxative, two mild cathartic. There is
nothing else in the world like them.
There is nothing that takes their place.
There is nothing just as good, although
lieing and unscrupulous druggists may
sometimes tell you so for their own profit.
