Latest War News.

AS we 60 to press (Thurs.
day afternoon) war has not
been declared. The presi-
dent sent his message 70 con-
gress Monday, recommending
armed Intervention to restore
peace in Cuba, but opposed
recognition of the Cuban gov
eminent.
Both committees of the
Senate and House reported
majority and minority reports.
The majority advise armed
Intervention without recogni-
ton of the Cuban insurgents,
while the minority recommend
armed Intervention and recog-
milton.
Debates on these PROPOSE
ton has set congress by the
ears, and Wednesdays pro-
ceedings were disgraceful.
The members fought, cursed,
swore and flung stools, ink
pots and books at each other,
and it looks as though all the
fighting would be done in
Washington by our alleged
lawmakers.
Minister Woodford has left
Madrid and Fitzhugh Lee
has left Havana. The fleet
has been ordered on a practice
cruise.
War looks further off than

November, 1898, has broken all records
for snow storms. No one expected the
young blizzard of Sunday, which locked
up the railroad and paralyzed the mail
service. And then when the railroads
and business generally was getting nice

the Junior blizzard of w Wednesday, which
although not as fierce as It's predecessor
OF Sunday, succeeded In paralyzing the
local railway and mail service. 1t will
