WASHINGTON OFFICIALS SURPRISED.


FOR THE MADRID PRESS TO GET Ex-
CITED ABOUT.
Washington Dec. 27.-The officials here are some-
what surprised the exhibition Of feeling Ma
drid over the latest OF Minister woodford de-
livered the Spanish Foreign Ofce the day before
Christmas. While the note itself will not be made
public at present It Is said that there Is no
whatever why 1t should be withheld. except the
fact that the preceding steps IN the negota tons
have yet seen the light in the newspapers. and
II is desirable when the publication Is made 10
preserve the complete chain Of affairs in natural
order. The correspondence may be called for by
Congress soon. and it is not likely to be withheld
grounds OF public policy. The last communi-
cation presented by Minister Woodford was in an
TO the Spanish note called forth by Mr. Wood
fords first note after his arrival Madrid. In
that note the Minister pointed out the interest Of
his country In early termination Of the present
struggle in Cuba and asked when such a conclu-
sion could be expected.
The Spanish Government In its reply acknowi-
edged the interest Of this country In the matter
but suggested after stating what it intended to
do TO amelorate conditions in Cuba. that the
United States could exercise It's good Offices by
stopping hbus,erng. To this Mr. woodford
piled with his note Of last week. II is said 10 be
a purely argumentative statement Of the position
taken by the United States and the facts set forth
are substantially those strongly given in the
Presidents Message to Congress. OF which 1t was
supposed the Spanish public had been fully ad-
vised through the newspapers. The forciole
sta tement In the is based on the facts coll
lccted and published recently by the Treasury De-
partmen exhibiting the great expense 10 which
the United States had been pu, by its efforts to
patrol long coast line in the pursuit OF a few
filibusters and the remarkable success OF the
Government officials in stopping these expeditions
contrasted with the feeble efforts of the Span
ish authorities TO maintain a patrol around the
island OF Cuba. All these facts included in
Minister Woodford's note and while he put them
In his own language in presenting them TO the
Spanish Foreign Oftice. it is said that the state.
ments concern only affairs that have already been
touched upon.
Madrid, Dec 27.-Accordng to an Official an
nouncement the Government considers that the
Spanish press attaches too great Importance the
Woodford note.

tinues to regard Americas attitude as correct,

A shift of 45 men went down the main

only short distance up the main gang

the unknown miner were knocked down,
the latter being buried under a mass of
broken timber and rocks. Those who
were able to crawl back to the foot of

had been blown to the surface by the

The best remedy in the world is not too
much for anyone to insist on getting.
Everyone, whether sick or we'll, must
know the immense good Paine's celery
compound has done and is doing, tired,
half-sick, sleepless men and women all
over the country.
The vague, half-hearted attempt so
many people make to get rid of poor
health is pitiable. Rheuma tism, head
aches, neuralgia, kidney troubles, skin
diseases and dyspepsia may be wholly
terminated from the system, never to
bother one again, if one will but cleanse
the blood and regulate the nerves with
Paine'S celery compound.
Get out of dependency, the ''blues," or
whatever name you give to those attacks
of nervous depression. Don't NOPE around
half sick. People who think that they are
fairly well and "only little tired need
just the toning up and refreshing that
Paine's celery compound undoubtedly
gives. Nothing could be more suicidal
than for sickly men and women to shut
their eyes to the great opportunities Of
fered by Paine's celery compound. No
remedy ever called forth such vigorous
testimonials and decided opinions from
every class of men and women.
