The DaYis Memorial.

Richmond, Va, April 17.-Today
in the historic st. Paul's Episcopal
Church, around which cluster SC
many memories of the late war, a
memorial erected to the only Presi-
dent of the Confederacy was unveiled
with appropriate, though simple,
ceremonies. This memorial is a
window of transparent Mosaic glass,
and is in a line with the pew occu-
pied by Jefferson Davis during the
war and is exactly opposite the Lee
memorial window. The design of the
memorial is the work of Mr.. Frederick
Wilson, and portrays the scene where
Paul announced the truths of Chris
tianity to the grandson of Herod the
Great. The tablet for the window is
of bronze and brass, colonial in shape.
with fiuted columns on each side,
banded by a BRASS scroll, on which
are the names of the Confederate
States, in the order of their secession.
In the centre Of the tablet is the Con
federate seal. surmounted by the
three battle flags, and underneath is
the inscription: ITO the Glory of
God and in Memory of Jefferson
Davis, President of the Confederate
States of America. Born June 3, 1908.
Died December 6, 1885,"
The text for the lower half of the
window has been secured from acts
xxxvi, 81: "This man doeth nothing
worthy of death or of bonds
That for the upper part is taken
from the thirty-first chapter of Job
and the sixth verse: Let me be
weighed in an even balance, that
God may know my integrity
The ceremonies attending the IN
yelling were very simple. The regu-
lar morning services were said, and
the hymns rendered were the favor
tie ones of President Davis They
were: "How Firm Foundation, Ye
Saints of the Lord Guide Me. Oh.
Thou Great Jehovah" and From
the All Saints" The sermon was
preached by Rev DR.. Vim. NJ. Dame,
of Baltimore.
Mrs. Jefferson Davis, who arrived
in the city yesterday, witnessed the
ceremonies from the old pew of the
President. In Mrs Davis party were
her granddaughter. Miss Hayes. and
her niece Miss Waller; also, Col. j..
NJ. Morgan, who was appointed by
Secretary of the Navy Mallory, to-
gether with Mr.. Burton Harrison,
the Presidents private secretary, to
escort Mrs. Davis South on the day
of the evacuation Of Richmond. The
Governor, with his chief Of staff, the
mayor. delegations of fifteen from
each of the veteran camps, represen-
tatives of the local Confederate or

SATURDAY, APRIL %, 1928.
Entered at the Postofice at Accomat
c. H., Va, as second class matter.

War with Spain must be the iInmes
date and necessary result of the Ill
timatum signed by the President
and sent to that country. One hope
of peace with honor to the United
States now is only left-the evacua
ton of Cuba-and that is too much
to expect even of a country like
Spain. Degraded as the Spaniards
are, and despised as they may be for
their cruelties and inhumanities not
only in Cuba but throughout the
world. for centuries, their dignity
and self respect compels them to
make the fight to retain Cuba. Wheth
err war could have been avoided with
honor by the United States is now
no longer to be considered. 1t is
upon us and every patriot through
ont the country now can only hope
that it will result in disaster to our
enemies and be speedily terminated'
Our country, may she be always
right; but right or wrong, our coun-
try is now the patriots cry. and
everyone, whatever their political
faith, will uphold the present admin
istration in the step which it has
taken.

CONGRESS AGREES.
Joint Resolution That Cubahs care
and OUGHT to be Free.N

Following is the joint resolution
agreed upon by the two Houses of
Congress:
Joint resolution for the recogni-
ton of the independence of the peo-
pie of Cuba, demanding that the
government of Spain relinquish its
authority and government in the is
land of Cuba. and withdraw its land
and naval forces from Cuba and
Cuban waters; and directing the
President of the United States to use
the land and naval forces of the
United States TO carry these resolu-
tions into effect.
Whereas the abhorrent conditions
which have existed for more than
three years in the Island OF Cuba, so
near our own borders, have shocked
the moral sense of the people of the
United States, have been a disgrace
to Christian civilization, eliminating,
as they have, in the destruction of q
United States battle ship with EGG OF
its officers and crews, while on a
friendly visit in the harbor of Hava-
ma, and cannot longer be endured, as
has been set forth by the President
of the United States in his message to
Congress of April Il, 1898, upon which
the action of Congress was invited
therefore.
Resolved by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United
States of America in Congress assem-
bled,
"First-That the people of the Is
land of Cuba are, and of right, ought
to be, free and independent;
"Second-Thatit is the duty Of the
United States to demand, and the
government of the United States doe:
hereby demand, that the government
of Spain at once relinq uish its au-
thority and governmental the 1slanC
of Cuba and withdraw its land anC
naval forces from Cuba and Cubar
waters.
"Third-That the President of the
United States be, and he hereby is
directed and empowered to use the
entire land and naval forces of the
United States and to call into the
actual service of the United State:
the militia of the several States tt
such extent as may be necessary tc
carry these resolutions into effect.
"Fourth-That the United State!
hereby disclaims any disposition OF
intention to exercise sovereignty
jurisdiction or control over said islant
except for the pacificatien thereof
and asserts its determination wher
that is accomplished to leave the
government and control of the islant
to its people,

The Confederate Relief Bazaar,
which was opened last week in Bal
timore under the auspices of the
Daughters of the Confederacy OF
that city and the Maryland Confed-
crate Society has proven an immense
success. The managers reported
early in the week, that the bazaar
had cleared $4,000, not including
money from number of tables AID
other sources which had not been
accounted for. The amount which
will be raised for the support OF the
veterans WILL it is believed, be not
less than $25 900 and may exceed
that amount. The people of the
Monumental city on occasions like
these heretofore have always done
their duty, but the interest NANTES
ted by them, both by their attend
ance and liberal contributions, in the
present bazaar especially commend
them to the veterans in whose inter-
est it is held. 1t was continued sew
eral nights longer than it was origi-
nally intended because of the great
interest taken in it.

In the war between this country
and Spain, the impression seems tc
prevail, though as yet there is nc
official authority fer the assumption
that General Fitzhugh Lee will be
invested with a command of i'm
portance and responsibility. The
demand seems to be unanimous from
every section of the country, that he
be seat to Cuba, and it is likely that
he may be with the commission OF
of Major General. This is said to be
the appointment which General Lee
wants and being one for which he is
particularly suited the Government
can hardly refuse to accede to his
wishes. That other ambition of his
is likely to be gratified too, to wit,
the desire to be U. S. Senator, when
he returns to Virginia.

THE uLTIN1ATuM.

Washington, April 2O.-The ulti-
matum quoted the resolutions of
Congress, and notifies Spain that her
army must leave Cuba and Cuban
waters Immediately. IfSpain doesn't
reply or notify President Mckinley
by Saturday noon of her intentions
to withdraw her troops, hostilities
will commence. The fleet at Key
West will blockade Cuba, and the
army that is now modelling at four
points in the South will with the aid
of large force of volunteers, be sent
to invade the island.
Senior Sagastas speech last night
has deprived the President of the last
hope that there might be peace with
honor.
Spain will not make any conces-
sions looking TO the avoidance OF
war.
The ultimatum was prefaced by
Assistant Secretary Day, who went
over it with the President before his
signature was affixed. Secretary Day
said that the ultimatum had been
transmitted to Madrid, addressed to
Minister Woodford, who will deliver
it to the Spanish government
Washington, April 20.-Minister
Polo leaves this afternoon. Minister
Woodford has now decided to remain
in Madrid until dismissed. He has
been told to demand his passports il
