THE LATEST NEWS.

The war cloud has shifted to Spain
this week. Congress passed resolu-
tions deploring the conditions that
prevailed in Cuba and intimating
that if they were not soon changed
for the better this country might see
fit to recognize the Cuban rebels as
belligerents, and might follow that
up by recognizing their independence.
This action on the part of Congress
created the widest excitement in
Spain and in several places mObs at
tackled the United States consulates
and were with difficulty restrained
from doing damage. Spain made
prompt apology and offers reparatiOn
for these insults to our flag, and that is
the way things stand at present. The
president thinks the action of Con-
gress was hasty and will probably
pay no attention to the resolutions.
1t is reported from Linn county that
J. P. Harris will have that delega-
tion to the Congressional convention.
He claims his own county, of course,
and his friends think he will have
support in Miami and Johnson. FL
don Lowe carried Bourbon county.

calf having double body The curiosity
is the property of Michael McGuire Of
Wales street

above the Notch. When found, it was in a
healthy condition and gave signs of life,
but it has now become very weak, and 1t Is
thought will die. Large crowds of people
have called 10 SEQ IL. The bodies, heads
and limbs OF the calf are all fully devel-
opcd, and arc similar to those of any ordi-

nectcd hy a thick ligament.

worked as a bother in New York. New
man said he had recently been in the

supper at the hsme of his mot her-in- law,
Mrs. Schendell, and neither he nor his
