jurisdiction, and also of the renewal or
certain treaties previously in force be-
tween the United States and Spain and
which may have lapsed or been vitiated
by war.
The commission then adjourned until
Wednesday next.
An analysis of the American memoran-
dunn shows that all other suggestions
and considerations in 1t hinge upon
treaty cession at the amount named by
the United States and within one week
In the event Of cession Spain may enjoy
for term of IL years rights of COM
merce in the Philippines equal to those
of the United States. If the United
States acquire the islands by conquest
Spain may not enjoy such rights. Should
Spain refuse cession she would remain
liable for indemnity claims, national
and Individual since the outbreak of the
last Cuban instruction. Should she re-
fuse, she would also lose, probably, as
further indemnity for the expenses of
conquest, one of the Carolines, which
she may now sell, and other cable privi-
leges within Spanish jurisdiction might
be taken by the United States without
any return to Spain for them.
The Spaniards, doubtless do not know
whether they will accept or reject the
American terms. They are telegraphing
the substance Of the American mem
orandum to Madrid and they expect to
reply at tomorrow's meeting.
Possibly they may conclude that be-
cause one money offer was made, an
other and larger offer may follow pres
sure upon the American commissioners.
But if this be their expectation, 1t will
not be realized. The American terms,
submitted almost at the close Of eight
weeks of patient hearing and painstakina
arguments, are practical ultimatum.

SHIPS AND ARMY MULES
Both to be Purchased in a Hurry
by the Government,

Washington, April IA There is
increased activity in the war and
navy departments. Negotiations
are about closed for the purchase
of the American liners New York
and Paris in addition to the ST.
Paul and st. Louis. These are to
be used for transports to take troops
to Cuba.
After consultation with General
Lee, the war department is con-
vinced that army wagons cannot
be used in Cuba and 1000 pack
mules are to be assembled at once
in st. Louis preparatory to ship
ment to the coast.

WHERE is THE
FLYING SQUADRON
Story About Mere Practice
Cruise Thought Absurd
MAYBE GOING TO ST. THOMAS

Key West, April II The opin-
ion of naval officers well qualified
to guess is that the flying squad
ron has gone to st. Thomas and
will reach there Sunday.
st. Thomas is the Danish island
east of Porto Rico and if the
squadron goes there it may run
across some Spanish cruisers.
The target practice story given
out yesterday by Secretary of the
Navy Roosevelt is looked upon as
absurd.
1t is believed that the fleet un-
der Capt. Sampson will be ordered
to make a demonstration at Hav-
ana as soon as Congress completes
action on the Presidents message.
This will be followed by lombard
ment if Spain refuses to evacuate
Cuba.

referred to a call for cheers for

all American citizens now. He
was sure that those who had for
sworn allegiance to foreign pow
ers were ready to render as good
service and fight for the stars and
stripes as ardently as those who
were born under that flag.

Col. Fitzgerrell the crowd divided.

Gen LEE ACCUSES
CEN WEYLER
Says lie was Implicated in the
Names Destruction
BUT BLANCO WEPT OVER 1T

Washington, April 14-Gen.
Lees testimony before the foreign
relations committee of the Senate
has been made public. 1t is very
lengthy and most interesting.
In relation to the Maine disaster
Lee declares that Gen. Weyler
knew about the plot to destroy the
ship
He does not believe that Con.
Blanco knew anything of it. He
says that he met Blanco just after
the explosion and the latter had
tears in his eyes and regretted the
Names destruction as much as
anyone.
Lee thinks that some junior
officer who had been under Weyler
actually caused the explosion and
that the mine was am old one.
He thought the published letter
of Weyler showing knowledge of
a plot was authentic, his opinion
being based on telegram from
Weyler that he knew to lie authen-
tic.

Enthusiastic and Patriotic Mass
Meeting.
TWENTY-FIVE VOLUNTEERS
And rlany More are Joining the
Reserve Today-k. of p. Uni
form Rank Also Ready.

Never before, so the old resi-
dents say, was there such a large
and enthusiastic meeting in Flor
ence, as was held at the intersec-
ton of Pixies Peak avenue and
Main street last night.
The Tribune had published the
statement that an opportunity
would be given to evince patriot
ism and enlist members of the
National Volunteer reserve.
John l.. Davis hustled around
requesting the attendance of some
of the orators of the town. Two
patriots procured drums and sound
ed the call to arms at 7:2O and in
ten minutes the streets were crowd
ed from sidewalk to sidewalk.
The town flag was run up and
Col. Fltzgerrell brought the Grand
Army standard to the box which
served for an impromptu speak
ers' stand.
As the drums ceased Herbert w
BuTdett announced that the stir
ring news received during the day,
rendering war inevitable, made it
fitting that Florence should ex-
press her patriotism and practically
demonstrate her willingness to
contribute men for service if need
ed. He called upon Col. Fitz-
gerrell, who had fought under the
stars and stripes and won his spurs
ia the civil war, to address the
meeting.
Col. Fitlgerrell made stirring
address which was wildly applaud
ed, in which he referred to his
realization, as none but those who
have faced battle can realize, that
war is indeed hell. He was per-
haps not so able to fight as he had
been, for he was becoming an old
man, bnt he was ready to do his
part if the country needed him
and he urged the younger men to
do theirs.
The Rev. Robert ID. Graham
was the next speaker and the en-
thusiasm which Col. Fitzgerrell
had already aroused became tumul-
tuous as he proceeded. His words
were punctured with cheers. He
spoke of the horrors perpetrated in
Cuba and the outrage by which
the men OF the Maine were sent to
instant death He said that
SPANS iniquitous rule is doomed
in the Western hemisphere. He
referred to the reunion of the blue
and the gray and declared his
willingness to do his part in the
struggle.
Then loud cries for Johnston
brought the ex-senator to the
stand. The meeting was wild
with patriotism and his eloquent
denunciation of Spain and his call
for volunteers to drive her from
the new world evoked stirring
scene.
He was followed by Frank p.
Warner and DIR. Milton. The
former stirred up the enthusiasm
again and created loud roar of
laughter when he said that Spain
would this time find that she had
hold of the wrong tom-cat.
DIR. Milton, who is veteran of
the war, said that he was glad that
a former speaker had announced
the need of a home guard to look
after the widows and orphans: He
was ready to enlist for that service.

planned the object and compost

The Popular tisro OF The Hour

Gen. Fitzhugh Lee of Virginia is
undoubtedly the hero OF the hour. He
returns from Cuba with prestige
and a popularity that are absolutely
sweeping. A presidential boom is be-
ing started for him both in New York
and in Virginia, and the thousands Of
democrats who want to get rid Of VIM.
Jennings Bryan now see their oppor-
tunity to defeat him, in the next nat
ional convention, with stronger and
wiser candidate.
The Chicago platform, with Bryan
on the top Of it, has become so abhor-
rent to tens of thousands Of patriotic
republicans that they would much
prefer Lee to Bryan In case it comes
contest between Lee and Bryan, Lee
would sweep the South for delegates
to the Democratic national convention.
Fitzhugh Lee has been the governor
of Virginia, and while in the executive
chair Of that state no one accused him
of the wild and destructive theories
which are now known rs Organism.
War always brings to the front some
popular presidential candidate. and
Lee so far appears to be the growing
man on the Democratic side. The
Democrats of New York, Pennsylvania
and the New England States will
breathe freer and deeper when they
know they have got rid Of VIM. j.

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

BY local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing and when
it is entirely closed deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
Ten are caused by catarrh which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give 800 for any case OF
deafness (caused by catarrh) that cam

The Carli5ts OF Spain.

Ferdinand VII. a Bourbon. was
king Of Spain from 1913 to 1888 he
was not a wise monarch and during
his reign nearly all the spanish-Amer-
lean colonies successfully revolted.
In order to secure the succession Of
the Spanish throne to his daughter
Isabella. instead Of MS younger
brother Don Carlos, he abolished the
Sale law which controlled 70 all
Bourbon countries and which pro-
vided that only males could succeed
to the throne. The adherents OF Don
Carlos revolted when Isabella became
queen, but were overcome bv the
queens forces. They were. and are
now, numerous in the north Of Spain,
and have played an important part in
the intrieues and revoIts Of Spanish
history for the last sixty-fiye years.
Don Carlos ana Ferdinand were
sons Of Charles " of Spain. The
present Don Carlos is a grandson Of
the other Don Carlos. He is an
interesting character and may be-
come prominent in Spanish affairs
during the troublous times in store
for his country.
The boy king Of Spain, Alfonso XIII,
is the son of King Alfonso XII and
grandson OF Queen Isabella. The
mother of Alfonso XIII is queen
regent during his minority. She is
Maria Christina. daughter of the Aus
trian Archduke Ferdinand This fact
explains Austria's sympathy for Spain
in the present crisis. and also the
Spanish discomfort at being ruled by
a foreigner and a woman at that. Ii
the queen regent and Spanish min
istry yield to the demands of the
United States. the Carlists threaten
to revolt, place Don Carlos on the
throne, and properly defend the
national honor.
