washington. April 1s.--Decidedly the
most warlike step by the war depart
ment I'm preparing for the possibility OF
an encounter with Spain was inaugur-
ated yesterday. when orders were issued
for the concentration at four points IN
the south of six regiments OF cavalry ~
regiments OF infantry and the light bat
teries OF five regiments of artillery. AT
Chickamauga, there Will be six regi-
ments OF cavalry and the light batteries
or five regiments of artillery; at New
Orleans. eight regiments of infantry;
at Tampa. seven regiments OF infantry,
and at Mobile seven regiments OF in
fantry. Since the civil war such pro-
portion of the army has not been mobtl-
lied. and the movement itself is the best
evidences OF the gravity of the situation
as looked upon by the president and his
advisers The determination to rem
devious the troops in the south, where
they can be acclimated to the conditions
Of a more tropical climate. has been un-
der consideration by the president and
his cabinet for some time. IL was not
until yesterday, however. that the presi-
uent, IN view OF the enofihoun tApcHSe
which will be entailed, felt justified In
taking this step.
The department has distributed the
70 regiments of infantry at places on the
gulf that will be accessible for trans
portation TO Cuba. Proposals have been
invited from steamship companies
for chartering vessels to the government
for this work. Instructions to the COM
manding officers of the regiments COM
manded to move were sent with direc-
tions that they be put into effect as soon
as possible. The railroad facilities, the
officials say. are more than ample to meet
the demands OF the occasion and no
trouble will be experienced in mobiliz-
ing this large body of men at the places
designated within reasonably short
epake OF time.

who has large commercial and financial
interests in both countries. While Mr..
Flint would not state how far the ne
gotiations had progressed, he said that
the boundary dispute between Chill and
Argentina had been left to the arbitra-
tion of Queen Victoria. The prospects
OF a peaceful adjustment of this old
quarrel are good, and the ablest and most
conservative men in both Chill and Ar
gentina are in favor OF reducing the
naval establishments and economizing
In expenditures. Neither country is in
clined TO weaken itself, and the propo-
sition is pending that Chill shall sell the
O'Higgins and one torpedo boat and
Argentina either the cruiser Garibaldi
or st. Martin, and two torpedo boats.
This would leave the two navies in about
the same respective condition. Another

now he had been for peace, but that
time had seemed to have gone. and he
was now face to face with a situation
that betokened gmim- -visaged war, and
he wanted to do everything possible to
support the president in the needs Of
the hour. He invoked the white dove
of peace to spread its wings over the i'm
pressive scene, displaying the eagles

GREAT DAY IN THE SENATE.
Thronged Galleries Listened to Speeches
Until a Late Hour.

Thronged Galleries Listened to Speeches
Until Late Hour.
Washington, April 16.-The scene in
the senate yesterday as the war of words
was being waged was memorable one.
1t will pass into history as one OF the
great days of that body. Thronged gal
leries looked down upon the half circular
chamber below where were assembled
scores of men who had written pages Of
American history. Every member of the
benate was there with the exception Of
Mr.. walthall of Mississippi. who was i'll
and confined TO his bed In the distin-
guished audience ere 100 or more of
the members of the house, Justices of
the supreme court and members OF the
cabinet. 1t was an inspiring, a historic,
scene and one rarely witnessed. In such
circumstances, 1t is not surprising that
the brilliant orators who addressed the
senate rose to and even surpassed their
best previous efforts. The occasion, the
surroundings and the momentous SUBJ
jeot under discussion inspired them.
The debate, beginning at the unusually
early hour of 10 o'clock, continued until
10:45 y. M. and yet the throngs remained
as IL held under some spell. All the de-
liverances were characterized by bril-
lance and eloquence, but It is no de-
Traction from the Efforts of others to
lsay that the notable utterances were
made by Mr.. Wolcott, Mr.. Daniel and
Afr. Spooncr. Mr.. Daniel carried aloft
the flag of recognition of the Cuban re-
public's independence, while both Mr..
Nolcott and Mr.. Spooner supported the
policy OF the president and the foreign
relations committee in favor OF armed in
tcrvention with ultimate Independence.
The argument OF Mr. Spoonar was ex-
haustive. profound and brilliant.
spain's black crimes. said Senator Cul-
lom, call aloud for vengeance. and that
vengeance will be taken by the Amer
lean people in the interest of humanity.
He reviewed the circumstances OF the
loss OF the Maine, and declared that the
disaster was an act OF deliberate and
atrocious murder. THE people through
out the country were demanding that
that crime should be resented and that
the avenging blow should be struck with
out delay; and IL Spain should resent our
action" said ne. I'VE shall not hesitate
20 take up the gauntlet and appeal to the
god of battle and to mankind to justify
our action. We now promise to do our
duty to God and man and force Spain
to withdraw her forces and flag from
the island"
Mr.. Daniels (va.) was next recognized.
He said: We stand upon the edge of
war. The nation Is one with the sword
In its hand. and II tho word that now

auxiliary cruisers hereafter 10 be known
as patrol boats. These ships are the
Prairie, the Dixie. the Yankee, the
Yosemite and either the Venezuela or
Yorktown. The question Of the Ameri-
can line steamers was also wound up
with the decision TO charter all four or
them, the st. Louis. the ST. Paul, the
Paris and the New York. With the an
no,incement that these magnificent ships
had beefi iadded % the auxiliary fleet
~caine the statement that the department
also had purchased the Yorktown OF the
Old Dominion line and the Yumuri OF
the Ward line. With these additions the
fleet of converted vessels now includes
the pick of the liners and coasting steam
ers running under the American flag.
The prices paid are withheld by the de-
partment.
OF greater moment than any OF these
developments was the reopening OF ne
gotiations for the purchase of two war
ships and several torpedo boats from
Chill and Argentina. Ono OF the cruis-
ers is the Chilian O'Higgins, just com
pleted at an English yard and regarded
as one of the most formidable Of her
class afioat.

have experienced SO much difficulty in

The above words were read by Inom-
Dor OF the Hall g. Lyon Co., from letter
which he had just received, as an answer
as to how vinol was selling. he con-
tirued to read as follows:
~ shall always recommend Vinol to any

That is just the way people everywhere

Of its merits. show how highly it 10 ap-

the country.
There Is one thing especially about
Vinoi that 10 nodinv to its popularity, II
such thing were possible. and That is
the people who have founu ~ necessary
for their health to take cod liver oil In
some form realize. as warm weather Is
drawing near, the advantage OF being
able TO take this wonderful remeuy with
out the fat and grease. TIE horrible
tasting fat Is bad enough at nny time,
but IT seems uouhly disagfsehbie with
the advent OF the first warm days. Con-
sequently sufferers from wasting disesss
have been OBLIGED to stop taking cod liver
oil on the approach OF warm weather,
even when they have succeeded In taking
1t during the cold months.
Now this Is mistake, for patients to
whom cod liver oil Is necessary Will find
there is no time in the year when It's use
should De continued more regularly than
right now In the spring. The system is
naturally At q low ebb, the weather
chanReable, and II the medicinal proper
ties are ever necessary, they surely are at
this time Of year.
Yes SIR, continued the druggist, that Is
how account for the continued increas-
ing sale of Vinol, and even, too, at time
when the demand FOR other COD liver oil
preparations falls of In large degree.
Many people who come to this store
buy Vinol rs q tonic recoustuctor and
give 1t credit for being the greatest spring
medicine they have ever used.
There Is no reason why iJ should not
be a good spring medicine. IL when 1t
10 taken continually it is Efficient enough
to rstard serious forms Of wasting dis
eases, two or three bottles Of 1t taken
now cannot fall to do vast amount OF
good by tonlng up the entire system and

and possibly more powerful factor be-
hind the scheme TO decrease the navies
in South American countries is that in
the navies lies the chief danger OF revo-
luton. Should Chill and Argentina de-
eide to sell these vessels IL is believed to
be practically assured that they will
be added to the naval list of the United
States.
IL is the intention OF the department to
shape all matters for any emergency, but
the naval militia will not actually go into
service until II is certain that hostilities
are to ensue. The patrol ships will be
assigned TO the Atlantic coast line and
form a part OF the general plan of coast
defense. The scheme as understood is
10 assign one of the patrol vessels TO
each of the five divisions that have been
mapped out for the mosquito fleet under
command of Commander Elmer. These
vessels will be the fagships of their di-
visions and will be under command OF a
naval officer. These assignments al
ready have been made The only other
officer OF the regular navy aboard will be
one engineer. the rest of the officers and
the crew TO be made up OF the naval re-
serves. with the possible addition of vol
unteers.
