HOLD ON TO THE HOSPITAL.
County Beard of Health Hold on to
The COM acinus Hfseases Eaenaf


The County Board of Health at it's
meeting yesterday afternoon decided not
to share the control of the hospital for
contagious diseases with the Board of
F'reeholders. AT the previous meeting of
the Board. the warden of the hospital
notified the board that it would be neces-
sary to supply the Institution with some
food, as he had a patient there. Before
the arrival of the patient he foraged
around among. the other institutions at
Snake Hill and managed to pick up Suffi-
cient provender to keep himself from
suffering the pangs OF starvation, but
after the arrival of a patient suffering
from contagious disease the officials
at the other institutions didn't care to
have him around and instead of boiled
Director Heller was called in at the
former meeting and suggested that the
Beard OF Health place the hospital in
the control OF the Board. of Freeholders.
No formal action was taken yesterday,
but the members cf the board agreed
that it would be unwise to relinquish the
control OF the hospital as it was neces-
sary that the employees should be COM
petent and responsible to the Board of
Health only A proposition will prob
ably be submitted to the Board of Free
holders to keep the hospital stocked with
provisions and the Board of Health will
do the rest. Collector Dugan reported
that he has 50 2s2. 33 remaining from the
appropriation of $500 for the main
tenaNce of the hospital.

Our old Any Against Us.
By Gable 10 the United Press.


PARIS, March 8. 1S96.-The 'Fdgaro,' .
in its comments upon the situation as
between Spain and the United States.
says that. although President Cleveland
is not the man to recoil from conflict
with Spain should his electoral interests
require such a step, he will nevertheless
resist the excitment which Congress has
stirred up. American statesmen, the
Figaro" says, would do well not to ex-
asperate Europe with the Monroe doc
trine. 1t is certain that Spain will not
give way and it is difficult to see the
benefit that the United States would
derive from a war
The "Maun' says the United States
Senate has aroused the legitimate indig-
nation of Spain. but expresses hope that
the Spaniards will not compromise their
just cause by useless provocation. Their
noble solicitude for their national honor
ought not to impel them to extreme de-
cisions whereby their interests would
suffer. The Americans are accustomed
to these superb declarations but they
often have no effect, as in the case of
Venezuela.
The sEstafette' trusts that President
Cleveland will reflect before he proclaims
the independence of Cuba. Spain, the
paper says, will not allow herself to be
intimidated by the arrogance of the
American Senate.
The "Soleil'' says the Spaniards did
not trenble before Bismarck and they
will not trenfble before the Americans

PERE MARQUETTE's STATUE.
Fears of Vandaifsm-Accepte by the

WASHINGTON, March s. 1S9s-The
officials of the Capitol having reason to
believe that some fanatical attempt may
be made to destroy the statue of Pere
Marquette. presented to the, government
by the State of Wisconsin and now in
Statuary Hail. have detailed a Capitol
policeman to keep constant watch where
the marble figure stands on it's bronze
pedestal 1t is the purpose of the Cap
tain Of the Capitol police not to leave
the statue unprotected day or night.
Detectives were looking for man who
was heard to say that If the opportunity
was presented he would place a bomb
thousand pieces. The statue has become
an object of marked interest to visit
ors at the Capitol: The notoriety it has
against its acceptance by the govern
ment has given it a prominence far be-
yond what its artistic merits entitle it
to, and yet those merits are great
While conflicting stories have been CIR
eulated with reference to the statue,
Senator Villas of Wisconsin is authority
for the statement that Ut will not at this
time be formally presented to the govern
ment for the simple reason that two
years ago it was accepted by Congress
in resolution which passed both the
House and Senate Some time in the fu-

speeches will be made in the Senate BY

CRITICAL SITUATION.
The Ill Feeling in Spain May
Have Serious Effects To-
day = Diplomats
Views.

WASHINGTON, March g. 1s9G-Today is
expected to be critical one in Spain,
and officials believe that the side of public
1eeiing there will turn one way or another
before night. Everything is thought to
depend upon the character of the reports
caoied to the Spanish newspapers by their
representatives here regarding the ae-
lion OF Congress. Naturally only the
most sensational portions Of speeches
against Spain are ordinarily published,
the more conservative statements are
seidom given their due prominence I'm
ger the circumstances the situation is
regarded as possibly precarious for
Americans in Spain, but confidence is ex-
pressed that if trouble is avoided to-
Gay and no fuel is added TO the flame
already affecting the over-excitabIe
Castiiians, the danger point will be
passed and the situation will be rapidly
improved
ihe surprise expressed by European
newspapers as to the action of the
United States Congress is repeated in
guarded phrases by experienced mem
pers OF the Diplomatic Corps The prev
alent feeling was today expressed by one
very distinguished representative of a
great nation as follows THE whole ac-
Ign OF your Congress seems to me most
,~--k'A
known Of one government proposing to
interfere with the government of a col
ony OF another power with which it is
az peace. 1t is as if the British Parlia-
ment should pass resolutions condemnlng
the FrSAdh administration of Algeria
or as if the French Corps LegisIature
should resolve that the French Cana
alans We're not accorded proper rights
IN fhe Dominion of Canada Then there
seems 70 me such an apparent insincer-
lty IN the whole proceeding
Neither House of Congress has had
the courage to put its resolutions in such
shape as to, demand Executive action.
/ Each has designated its resolution as
concurrent" SO that they can be pigeon
hoied if they. should ever reach the Pre-
Sldent, just as the Armenian resolutions
nave been. And neither House seems de-
slrous OF concurring with the other as to
the wording of the resolutions. which
lhus seem Hkelt to be left hanging in
mid mi! air between the two Houses, as if
TINS whole discussion was meant for
what you call 'buncombe.' It is most as

While diplomatic propriety, of course.
prevents any Ambassador or Minister
from expressing any such sentiments for
publ1cat1on over his name it may be in
terestlng to know that these seem to be
the views OF pretty well all the diplomatic
corps in Washington except the represent
tatives Of the Latin-American States.
