basis of the independence Of Cuba
and the payment of a suitable in
demenity.
The rejection of this friendly offer
will be sharply followed by mes
sage to Congress, which will make
the world ring ut its sturdy Ameri.
canism. Eevery contingency has
been considered for months. Prepa-
rations are even now rapidly being
made for any conclusion which Spain
may arrive at. President Mckinley
will greet a favorable response with
olive branches. He will ward off
aggression with the mailed hand.
This information is derived from

one in the neighborhood that she

An Owl Ordinance.

The Town Council, so we are in
formed, passed an ordinance at its
last meeting, imposing fine of S1.00
for killing owls within the corpora
ton limits. The English sparro ws
and mice are troublesome nuisances.
The owl feeds on sparrows and mice,
hence this ordinance. 1t has been
suggested, that, as spring chickens
are scarce the owl might be utilized
for culinary purposes.
