the Martini" the Manhat-

for popularity. 1t is not only
patriotic in name, but is model
ed on the lines of the national
colors. Raspberry juice sup
plies the red, Maraschino the
white and Creme Yvette gives
the blue. OF course, the last
liqueur is inclined to be purple,
but that is overlooked by loyal
tipplers. A few "Dewys," it is
averred, will transform a cow

Immediately, permission being given, the

cheering. As the barge swung by the
boat the men of the Navy gave three
hearty cheers, hats in hand and the
representatives of the Army returned 1t
with a will. Steam whistles sounded a
salute from all the small craft in the har-
Dor. until the boat bearing the soldiers
had gone beyond hearing.

Washington, ID. c., April 19.-The
Spanish Minister, Senior Polo de Berna-

will accompany the minister.
Early this morning the large metal
sign. bearing the words: office of the

Minister made no complaint to the State
Department or to the police. ats he has

resolutions. They were Informed by

Key West. Fla, April 19.-Thc news
of the passage of the joint resolution

much excitement.
The effect of the news from Washing

living in the inner harb0r. The officers
began sending their personal belongings
ashore. and the ships were stripped of
whatever superfiuous articles remained.
All the work in progress is being rush

AN IMPROBABLE STORY
THE VOTES IN CUBA TO DECIDE
CHARACTER OF GOVERNMENT.
OPPOSED TO HIGHER TOBACCO Tx
A Delegation from Winston to Have Hearing
Before the Ways and Means Conn.,
mittee--t May Be Twelve
Cents.

Washington. ID. c., April l9'-tSpe-
cinIO-Here is a story that was much
discussed by the peace advocates th's
afternoon and by many members -
was accepted as a probable outcome OF
the present situation. The Improbable
story in brief is this:
The Presidents ultimatum will he
met with a counter proposition from
Spain. Sagasta knows full well that
Spain is no match for the United States
and that a war with this country will
add millions to the Spanish debt. As 4
last diplomatic play, Spain will say to
the United States: We will withdraw
our naval and military forces from Gu
ba. The people of the island will then
be permitted to vote on the form of gov
eminent they want If by a majority
vote the citizens of Cuba decide to form
a government similar to that enjoyed
by Canada the United States should be
satisfied as that would be compliance
with the Presidents wishes. If on the
other hand a majority of the citizens
vote to establish an independent govern
Spain, then Spain will bow to the will
of the people and acknowledge the in
dependence of Cuba
Whether or not the administration has
any information that Spain is preparing
to make this declaration no one asso-
ciated with the President processes TO
know. but in view of the fact that Spain
up to the present has yielded every point
III 4
cept the evacuation of the island, it
would not surprise some officials if such
proposition was submitted by Spain as
Il last resort, to avert war.
Dispatches to-day from Rome strongly
intimate that something like the fore
going proposition is under considera tion
by the Sagasta Ministry, and further
more the Pope is said to be urging Spain
to adopt such a course.
