SIGNED THE RESOLUTION.
The President Issues an Ultimatum to
Evaeuate Cuba by Saturday.
SPANISH MINISTER GIVEN HIS PASSPORTS,
Text of the Ultimatum Not Yet Made
Public--The First Move in War to be
Made on Cuban PORTRAYAL Prep
arations for the Great Conflict.

The Cuban resolution is now a law
of the land and the ultimatum to Spain
an accomplished fact.
The president at 11:24 o'clock
Wednesday affixed his signature to
the joint resolution of congress re-
quiring Spain to evacuate the island
of Cuba. The ultimatum meanwhile
had been prepared at the state depart
ment by Assistant Secretary Day and
at 11:30 o'clock announcement was
made at the White House that it had
been signed by the president and had
been sent to the Spanish government.
After the public announcement, As
sistant Secretary Day said that the
ultimatum had been transmitted to
Madrid addressed to Minister Wood.
ford, who will deliver it to the Span.
ish government. As soon as the final
determination to send it had been
reached, and it had been started on jts
way to Madrid, Senior Polo de Bar.
nabe, the Spanish minister, in accord
ance with diplomatic courtesies, was
furnished copy of the paper by the
colored messenger of Assistant Sec
rotary Day. The minister, as
soon as he received it, made a
brief reply and requested his passports,
and he was honored at once, Assistant
Secretary Day giving orders that they
be forwarded to the minister immedi-
ately. The minister and staff left
Washington Wednesday night, pro
ceeding to Toronto, Canada, and
thence to Halifax, where he will take
an ocean liner.
The president, in his ultimatum to
the Spanish government, transmits a
copy of the resolutions passed by con-
gress, which resolutions, he states, he
has signed. He demands that Spain
withdraw her army and navy forces
from Cuba and Cuban waters, as re-
quired by the terms of the act Of con-
gress mo date for the withdrawal being
mentioned), and then states that if a
satisfactory answer is not received be-
fore Saturday he will proceed at once
to carry the resolutions of congress
into effect.
Minister Woodford's family have
left Madrid, and he will be given his
passport when the presidents ultima
tum is handed to Spain.
From this time forward war prepa-
rations will &C forward with renewed
activity, and both the army and navy
will be pr. m position for active opera
tons. There seems to be little doubt
that the first move will be to blockade
one or more of the Cuban ports, and
as soon as an army of occupation can
be transported to them demand will
be made for an unconditional surren-
der, and in the event of refusal the
work of reducing them by lombard
ment will be begun Immediately.

THE SQADRON'S DE pARrURE.
At the Break of Day the Destroyers Left
Key West for Havana.

The North Atlantic squadron, ex-
cept for the monitors Terror and Pu-
ritan and the smaller cruisers, sailed
from Key West at 5:45 o'clock Friday
morning headed for the Florida straits.
The skies were growing grey with the
coming dawn when the formidable
family of destroyers quietly and unos-
tentatiously steamed away, presuma-
bly, for the shores of Cuba. Besides
the two monitors the ships left behind
are the gunboat Helena, cruisers
Marblehead, Detroit, Dispatch boat
Dolphin and the torpedo boats Cush-
ing, Dupont and Porter.
The departure of the feet was not
so imposing as had been anticipated.
On the contrary, there was something
of scramble in getting away. When
all was ready the flagship swung
around and came we'll into the harbor,
signaling to the other ships about to
sail. After receiving responses, she
turned and headed for the open sea,
with the Iowa and Indiana closely in
her rear. The gunboat Machias, lay
nearest to three b g warships, and was
first TO swing her bulk into line. She
was followed by the Newport, which
lay outside. OF the fleet lying close
to shore, the Amphitrite was the
leader. She was numbering along
after the Machias, her immense guns
stretching above her tow free board.
She was the first of the monitors to
join the war-like procession.
The ships that followed the three
leaders-the New York, Iowa and In
diana-were the cruisers Cincinnati,
Detroit, Nashville, the gunboats Will
mington, Castine, Machias, Newport,
Monitor, Amphitrite, the Mangrove,
Mayhower and torpedo boat Foote.
Why the powerful monitors Puritan
and Terror did not accompany the fleet
could not be learned.

DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION.
Gov. Johnston Nominated by Acclama-
mation-Thos. l.. Mcclellan for
Chief Justice.

The following nominations for state
officers were made by the democratic
convention which met in Montgomery
Wednesday
For governor, Joseph F. Johnston.
For chief justice, Thomas N. Nc
Clellan.
For associate judges, H. A. Sharpe,
of Jefferson; Jonathan HARRISON, of
Dallas; John R. Tyson, of Montgom-
cry; James r. Dowdell, of Chambers.
For secretary of state, Robert P.
McDavid, of Montgomery.
For attorney general, Chas. G.
Brown, Of Jefferson.
For auditor, W. S. White, of Col
bert.
For treasurer, G. w. Ellis, Of Dali
las.
The supreme court ticket was NOM
mated by the unanimous vote of the
state convention. There were no other
names presented to the convention.
Judge Coleman's name was not men
toned. 1t was seen by his friends
before permanent organization was eff
fected that he was defeated candi-
date, and his friends refrained from
presenting his name. This resulted
when Representative John FL. Bank
head, acting in Judge Coleman's be-
half, brought about a test vote on the
organization of the convention. The
Mcclellan strength polled 800 votes to
Coleman's 1874. That settled it to
such an extent that when nominations
were called for Mr.. Bankhead moved
to mails the nomination of Judge Nc
Clellan and the four candidates for as
sociate justices mentioned above unan-
lmous.
For secretary of state, Robert P. Nc
David had four opponents and it took
three ballots to nominate him. His
strength increased with each ballot.
But for trades he would have won
easily on the first.
Charles G. Brown, of Birmingham,
was nominated for attorney general on
the first ballot.
Governor Johnston was nominated
by acclamation amid unbounded en-
thusiasm. He was escorted to the nall
and made speech, every sentence OF
which was received with enthusiastic
and ringing applause.

Secretary Alger suggesting that the
troops destined for Cuba be uniformed
in the lightest possible clothing.
When asked if he would accept any
thing less than major generals com
mand, Gen. Lee referred to his tele-
gram sent to the Washington authori-

vices for any duty he might be called
upon to perform, and said:

JOHN BELL RELEASED.
A Cash Bond OF $4,000 is Put Up In tn,
Hands Of the Clerk OF the Court and
Bell Goes Out.

Readers of the REGISTER will re-
member that John Bells case was
heard in habeas corpus proceedings
at Erie last week before the Appel
late Court. Judge Dennison, of that
court, lives at Eldorado, but in order
to hold court with him, the lawyers
had to go where he was watching
the race horses Between heats they
got the court together aud the case
was tried on the evidence, but the
charging Of the crime was left to the
discretion of the county attorney
when the case comes up in the dis
trct court. The court ruled that
Bell should be allowed to give bond
in the sum of $4,000, bond to be APP
proved by the clerk OF the court of
appeals and also by the county sttor-
ney and clerk of the court of Allen
county. Saturday the lawyers came
up from Chanute and gave the re-
quired bond and, that there might
be no possible question of its validity
they paid it in cold hard dollars,
10000 of them. Then John Bell and
the attorneys returned to Chanute.
The ruling of the court was peculiar
one as the crime with which Bell
will doubtless be charged is one for
which bail cannot be given. BY
evading the charge and leaving that
to future date, 1t was decided that
bail was permissible and was given.

NEARLY A MURDER.
David Youngs Of Usage Loses His Temper and
Is Narrowly Prevented from Com
hitting 7urder.

War has broken out on the Usage
and the weapon adopted is the deadly
Cuban mschette, flanked and rein
forced by common old Irish spade.
The news was brought into town
Tuesday by MIR. Colgin and his
daughter, Mrs. Dave Youngs. The old
gentleman remained in town as there
was danger in returning and is at
the home of his sons, the Celgin boys.
The story goes way back nearly to
the time of the civil war. Along in
1893 Dave Youngs, a man whose APP
pearance would never suggest his
connection with such tale, obtained
a divorce from his wife. Not long
after wards he married a daughter
of old Mr.. Colgin who lives out on
the Usage. They lived along in some
way-Mr. and Mrs. Youngs and old
Mr.. and Mrs. Colgin-snd as the old
folks grew older and more feeble, one
would expect to hear of greater care
and tenderness. Mr.. Colgin is now
eighty-four years old and for ten
years or more has been feeble minded
and perfectly harmless.
Tuesday Ioungs, who is hale
man of about forty years, became
angered at the old man and started
after him with a spade. The old
gentleman ran and the pursued and
pursuer hurried over good stretch
of ground. finally passing the house.
Mrs. Youngs and her mother then
