THE ULTIMATUM.
On Receipt of Which Spain Orders Our
Minister to Leave

On Receipt of Which Spain Orders Our
Minister to Leave.
Accompanying the joint resolution
of Congress declaring for the freedom
of Cuba was the following ultimatun, i,
transmitted to Minister Woodford:
"Woodford, Minister, Madrid Y on
have been furnished with the text of
a joint resolution voted by the con-
gress of the United States on the 10Th
st.-approved today-in relation to
the pacification of the island of Cuba. |.
In obedience to that act, the president
directs you to Immediately communi-
cate to the government of Spain said
resolution with the formal demand of
the government of the United States
that the government of Spain re1in-
quish its authority and government in
the island of Cuba and withdraw its
land and naval forces from Cuba and
Cuban waters. In taking this step
the United States hereby disclaims
any disposition, or intention, to exer-
else sovereignty, jurisdiction or con-
troll over said island, except for the
pacification thereof, and asserts its
determination when that is accom-
Plished to leave the government and
control of the island to its people
under such free and independent gov
ernment as they may establish.
"If, by the hour of noon, Saturday
next, the 23d day of April, instant,
there be not communicated to this
government by that of Spain, a full
satisfactory to this demand and reso-
luton whereby the ends of peace in
Cuba shall be assured, the president
will proceed without further notice to
use the power and authority enioiued
and conferred upon him by the said
joint resolution to such extent as NAV
be necessary to carry the same into
effect.

The state law does not allow a levy
OF more than ten mills on the dollar in
counties where the property subject TO
taxation rs worth less than five mil
lion dollars. This places Comanche
county in rather peculiar predica-
ment. The property of the county, in
round figures, is worth X million dol
lars. By making the levy as high as
the law will permit, the county will
have only 5000 for all purposes and
5000 will hardly pay its salaries to
say nothing of the other expenses. r.
81. Rich, attorney of Comanche coun-
ty, has written to Attorney General
Boyle to know how more money can
be raised to pay county expenses.

WAR Is
DECLARED.
Spain Sewers all Diplomatic
Relations.
Refuses to Accept the Ultimatum
from Minister Woodford and De-
livers His Passports.

Washington, April 23.-The presi-
dent, senators say, has not indicated
that declaration of war is necessary,
and senators advised him against one.
1t is the consensus of opinion that
the severing of diplomatic relations by
Spain is equivalent to a declaration
of war.
Senators have advised that a mani.
festo to the powers be issued that a
state Of war exists.
Senator Cullom of Illinois, of the
foreign relations committee, was at
the conference at the White House
Friday, and at II O'Clock, on leaving
the White House, said that the hand
ing of the passports of Minister Wood
ford constituted the Spanish reply and
ended all peaceful relations.
While an effort might be made in
congress to make formal declaration
of war, there was no occasion for it.
and, in his opinion, the reply would be
"none." He added: "There is enough
of state of war now existing"
Everything now, he suggested,
would go ahead without preliminary
action of formal declaration of war
by congress.-The next step, he said4
would be to call out the troops.

ders, the number has been increased

Weyler the population OF Cuba was
estimated at from IL to 1,700, 900, but
at the present time it is hardly proba-
BILE that more than million native
Cubans remain. Havana is the capi-

The Cuban capital is Cubitas, in Puer-

THE CONVENTION.
State Committee Decides ON the Ca nj.
tai City.

tai City.
Special Correspondence.
1t is significant to note the extent to
which Topeka has receded from her
provinci al position of ignorant bigotry
and unwarranted prejudice to her
herculean efforts to secure the conven-
tion that it is practically agreed will
name the next governor of Kansas.
The committee, which met last We'd
nesday, had no sooner convened its
session than it was waited on by a
representive contingent of the Topeka
Commercial Club, which club, it was
understood, would be given an oppor-
tunity to present the claims of the
capital city for what it had thereto
fore agreed would be a special honor,
and one for which it would make
special effort to secure.
So eager were these gentlemen to
propitiate what Topeka's citizens had
in times past been pleased to designate
as "a motley crew of hay Seeds" and
to make frantic efforts to ignore, that
the gavcl of Chairman Taylor Riddle
had no sooner opened the session than
Capt. Joseph G. Waters was on his
feet demanding recognition. AS it
was understood that Topeka should
have the first chance to present her
claims Capt. Waters was at once
recognized, and made strong pre-
sentation of the many advantages of
his city as the ideal convention city of
Kansas. The claims of Wichita,
Hutchinson and Pittsburg were then
presented and the committee proceed
ed to ballot. AT the conclusion of the
sixteenth ballot the vote stood z for
Topeka and Z for the field. Where
upon Chairman Riddle cast the deci-
sive vote in favor of Topeka, and the
Populist State Convention will be held
in this city on June IS.

Immediately on receipt of the ad-
dress it was referred to Chairman
Taylor Riddle, who dictated the fol-
lowing letter to his party:
Topeka, Kan, April 20, 1898.
To the Peoples Party:
Your committee believe that the
statements made by the Democratic
conference committee are entitled to
the careful consideration of every
voter in Kansas who desires the future
political well being of the state.
We do not think 1t Is within the
province of your committee, however,
to pass upon these matters, but that
the solution so far as the Peoples
party is concerned, rests solely with
the individual voters of the party when
in convention assembled and to them
it should be referred.
The time until the state convention
is short, and we urge prompt consid-
eIation of these matters SO that the
delegates to the state and other con-
ventions may be fully advised of the
sentiment in their several localities
and so be able to work inteiligently
for unification of the reform forces
in the coming campaign.
BY order of the Peoples party state
central committee.

w. 7. TIPTON, Chairman.
Secretary.

character that almost everybody who
uses them complains. Every rain

now says that they are much better
than when first laid and that they will
continue to improve for hundreds of
years. Perhaps after the present
Kansas crop of voters is dead and
gone they may be OF some value. The
last legislature thought so little of
them that an appropriation was made
to do the entire job over. The opinion
of the members seemed to be that that
which had been done was absolutely
worthless.
