in history: that IL was the first ana
only time that the six great nations Of
Europe. representing i'm the aggregate
the power of civilization, had united in
this solemn manner to secure the peace
Of the world. 1t was. this high author
ity stated, a movement historical in
character. and one fitting to occur in
the advent of the Twentieth century.
Calls at the various embassies and
legations during the day showed that
the response OF the president had Great
ed a most favorable impression in for
eign quarters. The presidents answer
was looked upon to some extent as
counter appeal to the powers for their
cooperation in the cause OF humanity
against the intolerable condition OF af-
fairs in Cuba. In some diplomatic
quarters there was a disposition to read
the joint note between the lines" and
to give 1t a suggestive character 6e-
yond the mild phrases adopted. This
was not the generally accepted view.
however The favorable manner of its
reception was looked upon as a wise
move at this critical juncture. for with
out rejecting as an intrusion those for
eign suggestions they were so received
as to give the greatest promise Of sym
pathy rather than opposition from the
most powerful joint influences i'm the
world.
At the capitol the situation was ar
IDENTIFY discussed among individuals
and came up for debate in both houses.
Senator Morgan of Alabama said he
was ready to vote for a declaration of
war, in discussing an amendment to the
sundry civil bill. In the house a sig
nificant declaration was that of Gen.
eral Grosvenor who declared he be-
lieved war was inevitable; in fact,
the speech made by General Grosvenor
in answer to charges against the ad-
ministration by Mr. Lentz of Ohio was
an important contribution to the news
Of Monday. The importance of General
Lees telegram was considered by MEM
bers having not been overestimated,
and the impression that the president
was amply justified in Withholding his
message became a conviction. This
fact was emphasized by the adjourn
ment until Monday of both houses.
The opinion in the senate and house
is that war must come. Even the most
optimistic of the conservative senators
have given up hope of a peaceful set
tlement. A great deal of consideration
was given by senators and representa-
tives to a form of action. On this point
there is a wide divergence of opinion,
but il has assumed two distinct posi-
tions. One is the recognition of inde-
pendence of the island, coupled with
armed Intervention to drive out the
Spaniards, and the other armed inter-
vention with a declaration that Cuba
shall be free.
The desire on the part of those favor
ing the latter plan is not to recognize
the insurgents until after the United
States has control of the island. The
latter plan is said to be that Of the
president. and efforts are being made
to have it adopted so there will be no
division between the executive and Leg
islative branches of the government
Eear is expressed that there may be a
long debate in the senate II some COM
promise is not agreed upon before the
committee on foreign relations makes
its report.

Madrid. April ST a. m.--From
worthy. it il learned that the cabinet
council tonight discussed Senior Polo
de Bernabe's telegram saying that the
European representatives in Washing
ton had delivered a collective note to
President Mckinley. the probable re-
suit of which would he a pacific solu-
tion. The initiative of the note is sup
posed to have come from France and
Russia.
The Spanish cabinet saw an apparent
connection between the note of the
powers. the papal nuncio's action and
Cardinal Rampolla's confidential tele-
gram late last evening. and thereupon
decided to send an official reply to his
holiness. supplementng previous COM
plimentary reply.
IL Is believed here now that the
powers note explains the fact Of Pres
ident McKinley's postponement of his
message until Monday rather than the
pretext given QUITO enable Americans
to withdraw from Cuba prior to hostili-
ties. This seems to bear out the in
formation sent to the associated press
as to the tenor of the Heraldos leading
article prior to its issue tonight.
Berlin. April THE Madrid corre-
spondent of the Cologne Gazette says:
The papers of the American consulate
have already been entrusted to the care
of the British consulate. At midnight
the pope made fresh confidential rep
reservations to the Spanish govern
ment and a second cabinet council was
held. But the reply was to the effect
that the pope's intervention had come
too late. as a decision had already been
arrived at.
Madrid. April I. 2:30 p. NIT is as
serted here that the communication
from Rome which the papal nuncio and
the minister for foreign affairs placed
before the cabinet after the regular
meeting had adjourned last night asked
what concessions would be made. The

reply that the government simply re-
affirmed it's former decisions. alredy

WHILE WAR
IS RAGING

1t is necessary to keep the plow on the
move, and while the drums are beating
and the air is filled with martial music
and the army is organizing for the front,
we should not become so demoralized as
to allow our farms and various business
es to become disorganized. The soldiers
will fight the war, while we speed the
plow." Let us prepare our lands with
the same thought and care as the general
and his staff prepares for battle (; let US
SOW an abundant crop Of wheat, oats and
pease, together with grasses and clover,
and the fields will bloom in all their
glory while the martial music of the war
will be drowned with the fairy like song
of the birds in the spring, and peace and
plenty will most likely be our reward.
.GUANO AND ACID are as essential to
the success of farming as gunpowder is to
war, and we have both in almost unlimi-
ted quantities, and we would be glad to
supply those who expect to begin cam
paign for any of the above crops. The
Guano and Acid will show the proper
analysis, and will produce bird-singing
results in the spring. Call and gee me.

auditor-which publication, at the fe-
gal rates, amount to about SIS.
Further, Mr.. Grist took occasion to
say there was no reason why the mem
bers of the board should be mixed up
on this advertising question: You
cannot be deceived by false circula-
ton statements. You know which of
the papers are sought after in your
respective neighborhoods, which are
circulated without authority, and
which remain dead in the postofices.
You know that you can give better
service to the public through one news
paper than through another, and you
know that to put the advertising space
of all on the same basis as to price, to
the lowest bidder, is unjust to the
newspapers and to the public. For
one thing, it is calculated to place the
advertisement in a paper which a
majority of the most interested peo-
pie do not see, and again to pay all
the papers for the advertisements at
the same price that is allowed for the
best, is equally wrong"
All this talk was after the contract
had been let, and the board is to pay
for the advertising just what it would
have had to pay had it not held the
meeting.

BY Telegraph to The Yorkville Enquirer.
WASHINGTON, July 12.-Advices
from Santiago this morning, are to the
effect that the city is now completely
surrounded. The last gaps were filled
yesterday by Ohio and Illinois troops
and every avenue of escape was cut
off.
The bombardment by the land bat
teries and fleet yesterday was very
heavy up to noon, when General Shat
ter put stop to it and sent messen-
ger to the city, presumably to make
another demand for surrender. 1t is
inferred from General Shafter's dis
patch that he believes the city will
surrender today.
Diplomatic Complication.
The United States government owns
5000 tons of coal on the island of ST..
Thomas, Danish West Indies. The
governor of St. Thomas notified Con-
sui Stewart that the coal was contra
band of war and could not be moved.
Consul Stewart replied that, if neces..
sary, the United States government
would take the coal by force, where
upon the governor said that in such
an event he would call upon foreign
warships for assistance. The matter
is now under consideration by the au-
thorities here.
Assistance to Let Loose.
LONDON, July 12.-France has wired
to Madrid the assistance of the French
ambassador at Washington to begin
peace negotiations. The offer has not
yet been accepted. The announced
intention of Madrid is TO give up only
Cuba, and to continue the war if more
onerous conditions are imposed.
Help from England.
New YORK, July ia dispatch
from Vancouver, British Columbia,
says that two British war ships have
left that place to deal with the Span
ish privateer that is said to be hidden
at Dixon's Entrance for the purpose of
waylaying treasure ships returning
from the Klondike.
