Washington, April 10.-At the close
of the second cabinet nesting tonight, it
was announced that the Presidents mes
sage undoubtedly would go to Congress
at noon tomorrow. On the best author1-
tv obtaipable it was stated that the meet
ing was devoted wholly to the consideTa
tion of the addition to the message neces-
STATED by the receipt of the latest note
from Spain advising this government OF
the declaration of al unconditional
armistice. The suflx to the Presidents 8
message merely recited this latest event
in the development of the Spanish ques-
tion giving the substance of the Spanish
note and recommending it to the earn
est attention Of Congress Otherwise the
message stands unchanged.
After the meeting, onemember OF the
cabinet said that the Spanish note had
not altered either the message or the sit
uation.
"It il merely said he, "what Spain
has been asking for all alopg-more time.
Tt Goes not touch the situation and the
Presidents message is left precisely as
il was before merely stating the fact OF
this last development.
Another cabinet member said after the
meeting:

the six European powers on the request
of the Pope have brought their influence

gents by this government with view
to their considering the proposition for
an armistice authorized by tho Spanish
government. This government has never
had anything to do with the gentlemen
composing the Cuban iunta In New
York. do not think the armistice idea
will have the least effect on any action
that may be contemplated in Congress. %
IT ia said some members of the cabinet
recommend further delay simply to
observe the practical effect of the armis-
tice. but they were outvoted by the ma
joriuy who thought the President had
waited long enough.
Washington, April 10.-The Presidents
message on Cuba will go to Congress at
noon tomorrow. Whether it will make
a recommendation upon the situation as
presented by Spain's latest move and if
SO what form this recommendation will
take Is a matter upon which war or peace
may rest. If the President should take
the position that Spain's armistice comes
too late or that it does not meet the re-
ouirements of the nation, Congress prob
ably would act with belligerent resolu-
ton calling upon the Pre- sident to use
the army and navy of the United States
to bring TO az end the condition of affairs
in Cuba. which he declared to the six
ambassadors Of the powers who called
upon him Thursday as being "insuffer-
able.''
Should the message take the ground
that Spain's endeavors seem tending IN
the proper direction and that justice
should permit her an opportunity TO q
trial of her stated desire to end the IN
surrection or should the President simply
refer the whole subject to Congress with
out recommendation condition would
arise of which no one tonight could posi-
lively see the outcome.
So few Congressman know the exact
status of affairs that no prediction could
be made as to what action Congress
would take.

LOVE.

One of the many nephews l have in
this institution has, to use his own lam
guage, become struck. He means of
course, that he is in love, but with
whom he sayeth not. Upon asking his
old uncle to give him few chunks
of his supposed knowledge on the sub
ject of love, his uncle said:
Regnier says that with true love
there is trust, and I say that he is right.
But preachers sometimes blunder on
this point. 1 have heard preachers
speak of church members as God fear
ing, when they should have said God
loving, sister or brother.
We cannot love soul without trust
ing implicitly the object of our love.
If any one claims to love you, and at
the same time refuses to trust you i'm
plicitly, you may make up your mind
that they are trying to deceive you for
some unknown cause, and are not to be
trusted. For if two persons love each
other in the true sense, they become
one in marriage, that is-One soul love.
Each regards the other as the better
half.

Kisses and jabs his fangs into your

You think there can be nothing worse

mistaken. Two monsters devils were

red-hot chains fasten you upon red
hot stove, and producing cross-cut

If the average citizen should be
asked: "What is the greatest curse of

Rum.
Yet there is an evil far more danger
GUS to society, of which little mention
is made, and still less known. We have
number of societies working-and
some of them earnestly-in the cause
of temperance, but have you ever heard
OF any person or persons, working to
check the terrible evils of the opium
habit? If it were known to what ex-
tent this evil had grown within the last
decade, society would assuredly be bor-
rified. 1t is today dragging down, past

been counting long before heard mu-

eler and the fiddle the instrument.
Looking at my figures, they seemed
suddenly to have gotten hands and feet,
and were beginning to move with the
sound of the music. Then a voice be-
gan calling the figures of the dance,
and off went one two and three in obe-
dience to the command. "Swing your
partners" was called. The figure 2 got
hold of and sent him spinning like
top, and then caught 3 and sent him
round with such force that 2 himself
caught the motion, and there they
ware spinning around like the mischief.

was called, and in obedience my three
figures caught hands and began to cir
Gle to the left. Faster went the music,
and faster went the figures, until all [

round. It fairly made me dizzy, and
l remembered no more until I awoke,
and the morning gong was sounding
