SPEAKS FOR THE SPANISH PEOPLE.
MADRID. March 27.--The FL Liberal, re-
ferring to Dispatches from Washington at
tributIng to President Mckinley decision
to propose that Spain should free Cuba for
an indemnity, says:
..The government may answer what it
pleases, but the Spanish people as a whole
will not deign to discuss this proposal.
Spain will go to war in fulfilling her duty,
but not for ephemeral glOries or the desire
of conquest. We may emerge vanqufshed,
which is also doubtful, but we will never
come out dishoDored."

Footing-Extra Session of the Legislature
rot

TRENTON, N. j., March 2I-The work
of putting the New Jersey National
Guard on a war footing is being success
fully pushed. Ammunition and ordnance
stores from Washington will be shipped
to Trenton without delay. Yesterday
large rumber of army hats and leggings
and about 5000 rubber blankets were re-
ceived at the State arsenal AdJutant
General Stryker said that no orders had
vet been received from Washington for
the calling out of the National Guard. nor
the naval militia, but it was not denied
that the preparations were being made

be babe. There is talk also of a special
session of the legislature to place fund
of $3.50, 600 at the disposal of the Governor,
for the better equipment of the national
guard in the event of war.

more will be said concerning it until
the committee shall have had reason
able opportunity to consider it Or until
some further communication can be
received from the President on the
Cuban question.
There has been
A GENERAL APPEAL
from the administration to the Senate
to avoid undue agitation OF the Cuban
subject until the President can have
an opportunity to formulate policy,
and the Senate appears quite disposed
to comply with the request. Still
there is no doubt that the Senate would
grow very FESTIVE under delay. Sem
ator Money expects to make a speech
tomorrow on the lines of those of
Senator's Proctor, Gallinger and Thurs
ton, based on his observations in
Cuba.
What further discussion there may
be during the week Of the Cuban stu
alton will depend SO largely upon fut-
ure developments that it is useless to
discuss the probabilities. If the Pres
ident should make a recommendation
or the Committee on Foreign Rela-
lions a report, the Senate at once
would become the centre of an ami
mated discussion, the result of which
would be some radical declaration
against Spain. The problem now is to
hold the expression of opinion down
to the minimum pending the negotia-
lions of the President and the deliber-
atoms of the Committee.
There is
VERY LITTLE HEART
in the Senate for any other business
than that relating to Cuba, and the
probabilities are that comparatively
little will be done, and that the ses-
sions will be comparatively short.
Aside from Senator Moneys speech
there is a special order providing for
the taking up of the pension bills on
the calendar Monday, beginning at I
O'Clock. Tuesday at 2 o'clock eulogies
will be delivered on the late Senator
Earle, of South Carolina. Senator CAT
fery's speech on the quarantine bill,
which has already run for two days
has not been completed, and it may be
resumed during the week 1t may be
said in a general way, however, that
Cuba will occupy almost the entire
thought it it is not the subject of the
speech OF the Senate for the week, and
while it may be possible to practically
suppress audible reference to the sub
ject it is most likely to find oppor-
tunity for some vent This opportu-
nifty will probably be afforded on a
resolution for the appropriation OF
money to relieve the distress of the
Cuban reconcentrados.
The sundry civil appropriation bill
probably will be reported to the SEN
ate Monday and taken up for consider
alton later in the week.

Among weddings slated for the near flu.
turS is that of a clever young lawyer who
has just won for his bride a charming girl to
whose heart he had long laid siege. The law
yer IS not without certain amount of good
opinion regarding himself, and particularly
prides himself on being rather a favorite
among girls of his acquaintance. Nearly a
year ago he first sought the hand of the
bride to be, but she demurred. A few
months later he met with second refusal
but determined to make one more effort.
BY this time the young woman had come to
regard him with good deal of esteem. This
feeling grew IN warmth, and so, when, a
week or SO ago, he once more urged his suit,
she said the word which made him the hap
piest man in town.
And you will be mine?" he asked.

his tone.
Perhaps the girl concluded that this was
as good a time as any to take him down a

Eyes, l do realize it now. You see, papa
is out of town on business a good deal, so that
mamma, aunty and l are often quite alone

the conclusion that it would be ever so much

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS
Weather aud Crops.

The United States Department of
Agriculture, in a report of crops and
crop conditions in Tennessee for the
week ending Monday, May ?, says:
The cool, rainy weather during the
first part of the week greatly delayed
the work of blowing and planting, be-
sides checking the growth of vegeta-
ton. About the middle of the week
light frosts occurred generally
throughout the State, which, however,
did little or no damage. The last two
or three days brought more favorable
weather, and corn and cotton planting
was pushed forward rapidly toward
completion whenever conditions of
soil favored this work. Most of the
corn, except some late paintings, is in
the ground, and much of it coming up
slowly, with often bad stands, owing
to unfavorable conditions. Most of the
cotton area has been planted, and some
coming up, but its growth is slow under
the late cool and wet conditions; some
of it was slightly damaged by the
frosts; generally an average area has
been planted. Wheat, as a rule, is re-
ported in fine condition of growth; in
several counties of the middle and east
ern sections, however, reports of serious
damage by the Hessian fly are made.
Oats, clover and meadows are growing
we'll Tobacco plants are healthy and
abundant; some settings have been
made in the western section. Straw.
berries are being shipped from some CT
the western counties. Garden veget-
ables are coming out well. Irish pOta-
toes are growing well.''

Fast Time to Colorado.

A new through Sleeping Car line between
St. Louis and Colorado Springs will be estab-
lished over the Wabash-Rock Island Short
Line, May 10Th, 1898. The time will be the
fastest made with through service between
these two points by many hours. A through
Sleeper will leave st. Louis on Wabash train
No. g. at 920 a. m, arriving at Colorado
Springs the next morning at ii 90, with d.
rect connection for Denver, arriving at l.30
a. m. This is the fastest regular through
service ever established between st. Louis
and Colorado. Returning, the Sleeper will
leave Colorado Springs at 2.45 p. M, and ar
rive at st. Louis the next evening at 6.l5.
Patrons of this line will avoid the only I'M
pleasant feature heretofore attendant on Col
orado travel, inasmuch as the trip through
Missouri's fertile fields will now be by day
light, and the unattractive portion of Kansas
will be traversed during the night, with the
mountain scenery to greet the tourists in the
morning.
The fast time of this line will naturally
commend the Wabash Route to intending
Colorado tourists.
Particulars will be gladly furnished on APP
plication.
