NOTE DELIVERED t. SHERMAN.
Event That Caused the Spanisrds tn Agree
to the Armistice.

Washington. April 1.-THE Spanish
government, through it's minister at
Washington, Senior Polo de Bernabe
last night delivered an important off,
cial document to the state department
stating that the armistice which the
queen regent OF Spain had commanded
General Blanco to proclaim yesterday
was without conditions: that her ma
Jestys government had granted liberal
institutions to the island of Cuba, which
the coming Cuba parliament would de-
velOp recalling the coincidence and
sympathy expressed by the queen re-
gent and her government on the disas-
ter of the Maine, and the horror this
disaster had occasioned in Spanish
hearts. and appealing to the courtesy
and sense OF justice of the United
States government to enlighten public
opinion upon the attitude of Spain The
note also repeats the offer of the Span
ish government 10 submit the Maine
question TO experts designated by the
maritime powers Of the world.
This document was the official notih-
cation of the Spanish government to the
United States Of the granting OF an
armistice and its essential terms Min
lister Woodford's dispatch Saturday
night had briefly stated the fact that
an armistice had been agreed upon,
but il was not communicated as com
ing from the Spanish government. Yes
terday' communication cleared up mis-.
apprehension on the most vital point OF
SPANS concession. namely. that the
armistice was without conditions. The
note was received by the state depart
ment after the first cabinet meeting,
and was one OF the main subjects OF
consideration at the second cabinet
meeting held last night. The news that

II does not lie in the painters fancy to
imagine a prettier picture than that OF
young girl with lips luscious with the
promise of love, half parted in the smiles
of happy dreamland. The mind of happy
maidenhood is a clear and polished mirror,
which. when the wits go wandering into the
ghostland of dreams, reflects the impress
sions of waking hours. If those impress
sions are pleasant and painless and happy,
she will smile in her sleep. II the impress
sions are those of a suffering woman, tor
tured with the special ailments TO which
the feminine organism is liable, the picture
is spoiled by the lines of suffering and de-
spondency Maladies Of this nature unfit

he'd attached several conditions to the
proposed armistice, which conditions
the United States would surely have re-
iected without the trouble Of consider
ation--they would not have needed con-
rideration.
To complete the history Of the pres
emf difficulty IL will he well TO ate
what has happened AT Madl Id since
Friday night. Saturday the represen-
tatives OF the powers at Madrid called
ia force on Senior Cullen and urged that
an armistice be granted by the Span sh
government In Cuba. and the influence
OF the pope was also exerted to the
same end through the nuncio. There
was strong opposition in the cabinet TO
this course of procedure. but il was
finally adopted as concession to Eu-
rope and the pope OF what Spain would
not. as IL was said, concede to the Unit
ed States. The representative OF Rus
STA, il is said. declared the armistice
would not be disparaging to Spanish
arms. The decision to grant the armis-
tice was unanimous.
The dispatches from Madrid gave the
following as the conditions attached 10
the armistice with a final clause lat
might be portentous That the United
States should Immediately cease To lend
moral and material support TO the Gu
ban insurgents; that the American
squadron in the vicinity OF Cuba should
be withdrawn, and that the American
war vessels near the Philippine islands
also should he withdrawn.
"1f the United States decline these
conditions, II is declared that the pow
ers of Europe will openly lend their
support TO Spain"

SUBSTANCE OF THE SPANISH NOTE
Desires the United States to Make Note of
few Points.

n few Points.
Washington, April IL - The note of
the Spanish government conveying To
the United States the information that
an armistice had been decided upon in
Cuba, was surrounded with the usual
guards to prevent it's publication prior
TO being sent into congress- but the fol-
lowing summary Of its contents has
been secured
The Spanish minister in Washing
ton, deeply impressed by the numerous
errors which seem to have obtained
credit in public opinion in America in
regard to the Cuban question, consid-
ers it his duty TO call again the atten-
ton OF the secretary of state of the
United States to the following points:
F1rst-Her majesty, the queen OF
Spain, DESTROYS OF ending the troubles
which are desolating Cuba, has com
manded suspension of hostilities.
General Blanco has been ordered to
proclaim today an armistice without
conditions. He Will determine later the
duration and details OF this armistice
so as TO carry out the generous inten-
tons of her majesty and the wishes OF
the friends of peace.
"Second-Eler majesty's government
has granted TO the island of Cuba in
situations as liberal as those enjoyed by
Canada under the British flag. The Gu
ban chambers will meet on the fourth
of next May. 1t will be their duty and
privilege to put into practice and de-
velop these institutions In addition to
this Cuba is represented i'm the parlia-
ment at Madrid.
"Third-Public opinion in this coun-
try appears to ignore the fact that the
loss OF the Maine was Immediately fol-
lowed by official and reiterated express
sions of coincidence from her majesty,
the queen; from her government, from
her charge daffaires in Washington,
and from the authorities in Havana;
all OF which tended affirm the horror
which this disaster has caused TO arise
in Spanish hearts, as also the sympa-
thy felt for the United States govern
ment and navy and for the American
nation. The Spanish minister feels
confident he can count upon the cour-
tesy and sense of justice OF the United
States government to enlighten public
opinion upon this subject.
"Fourth-As to the cause OF this la
inevitable disaster, ii resolves itself
INTO a lutSNlOH VI ldClS WHICH, Cdll Ollg
be settled by material proofs. The
Spanish minister reiterates the assur-
ance that his government is ready to
submit the question to experts desig-
mated by maritime powers. whose con-
illusions are in advance accepted"
Senior Polo delivered the documents
in person TO the state department, and
aside from the interest in the communi
cation itself the call had added inter-
est as an evidence of a renewal of dip
lomatic negotiations. this being his first
call at the department in ten days.
Later Senior Du Bose, first secretary
Of the legation. made another call at
the department on the same general
subject. Besides delivering the note the
call permitted a personal exchange be-
tween the secretary OF state and the
Spanish officials OF an agreeable char
acter

son which the doctors cannot explain
he could not eat a mouthful of food.
Every effort was made TO give him
nourishment. but in' vain, and finally
the medical men gave up his case as
hopeless and left him TO die.
He continued to live, however, week
after week without food, until death

of the Maine Tragedy.
Vienna, April 11.-Senor Emilio Cas-
telar. the distinguished Spanish Repub-
ican leader has contributed an article
to the Neues Wiener Tageblatt. Senior
Castelar, retorts on the American critic
who attributed the Spanish methods
and style of today to the uninterrupted
intellectual decline OF that people. For
his part, CASTELAR, regards the action OF
the Americans. TO whom he refers
throughout as Yankees" as evidence
of the mental decay of the once glorious
American people. He charges them with
diplomatic tricks and articles with the
object Of making Spain responsible for
the result of the defective manning Of
their fleet and the negligence OF the Off
GERS of the Maine.
Castelar, proceeds TO argue that moth
ing but the height of incomprehensible
arrogance would say that the Maine
was blown up by dynamite" He de-
clares that never was a more thought
less accusation raised by American ma
val officers 60 hide their own incompe-
tence, as the simple fact is that the Off
GERS were not at their posts on the crit
ical night" In concluding Castelar,
says: There is no justification for the
interference Of America in cuba. II is
opposed to the most primitive concep-
tions Of international law. The Ameri-
can army will find US ready TO defend
the graves Of our fathers at the altar
of independence"
Madrid April l1.-There were many
demonstrations against the armistice
and many We're arrested. There was no

SICK Or WE'LL, A RUSH

The Packers at the Battle of Santiago

role Efforts in getting Ammunition

p. E. BUTLER, Of pack-train No. 3,
writing from Santiago dc Cuba, On
July 23d, says: "We all had diarrh0ea
in more or less violent form, and when
we landed we had no time to see a
doctor, for 1t was a rush and rush
night and day to keep the troops sup
piled with ammunition and rations,
but thanks to Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, we
were able to keep at work and keep
our health; In fact, | sincerely believe
that at one critical time this med
icine was the Indirect savior OF our
army, for if the packers had been un-
able to work there would have been
no way of getting supplies to the front.
There were no roads that a wagon
train could use. My comrade and my
