London Truth criticises mckinley.

LONDON. March 9-Truth severely
criticises Washington over the Lee in
cident. After citing the letter Of Mr..
Edward J. Phelps. then United States
minister to Great Britain, to the Mar
quis Of Salisbury in connection with the
SacSville incident to the effect that
the United States government assumed
that q request for the recall Of the
British minister at Washington, Lord
Sackville. was sufficient, believing the
acceptance or retention Of a minister
60 be question solely TO be determined
with or without the assignment OF rea-
sons by the government to which he is
accredited, Truth says:
Spain has now demanded the recall
OF General Lee, and Il, lis officially pub
lished that the president will not take
General Lees recall into consideration
The matter is q serious one, for now It
Is obvious that the government Of the
United States does not consider itself
bound by international usage in the
conduct Of diplomatic relations with
other countries. IL has distinctly laid
down n rule OF action which it imagined
TO be binding upon it under such cir
cumstances. and therefore its refusal
to accode to the request OF Spain stulti-
files it In the eyes OF the whole world"

and a half hours and the Spanish stu
alton was discussed from all points.
The unanimous opinion Of the cabinet
Is that the appropriation OF $50. 100000
by congress and the consequent extern
Bive preparation for war made thereby
mean peace. The cabinet believes that
this activity Of the United States in
meeting all contingencies OF expected
emergencies will serve as a notice to
Spain and all Europe that the United
States is In earnest. If Spain deter
mines TO inaugurate a war now, in the
face OF certain and disastrous defeat, 1t
would be simply suicide.
All the presidents advisers concurred
In the belief that the Madrid ministry
will pause and deliberate well before in
yiting overwhelming and sure national
humiliation. The president asked Sec
rotary Alger to give him and his ASSOC
clates a minute account Of the army.
Mr.. Alger indicated the strength and
location of every army post; the con-
dillon of seacOast defenses; the amount
Of ammunition on hand and where 1t
is stored; the present and prospective
outstanding contracts; the condition OF
the small arm and torpedo service; in
fact, q minute, technical and detailed
statement of the army.
The plans for the purchase OF war
ships are now well advanced and Sec
rotary Long was able to lay before the
cabinet the steps that had been taken.
The ships In view are nine I'm number.
Two OF them are building at French
shipyards, three in Germany, two In
England and two in America.
These are large ships and do not in
clude torpedo boats. OF the latter class
several are In view. including one Of
fered today by William r. Grace Of
New York. Mr.. Grace had the design
made for a South American republic.
but I'm view OF present conditions he In
formed Secretary Long that he could
have the craft. She is designed to be
faster than any torpedo boat ahoat,
making the phenomenal speed Of AZ
miles an hour.
The two ships In American shlpyards
are those building for the japanese gov
ernment-one at Cramps and the other
at San Francisco. Tho negotiations are
progressing, and it is expected that the
Japanese government will help rather
than retard their acquisition by the
United states IL it is decided TO take
them.

ROBBERS WERE BOLD
Held Up a Connecticut Man
and His Wife.
SURPRISED THEM IN THEIR HONE.
There Is No Clew TO the Miscreants
Who, Loaded With Money and
Jewelry, Disappeared Under
Cover of the Night.

BRIDGEPORT Conn, March 9.-Two
daring robbers invaded the home of G.
Walcott Beach, at Huntington, near
here. and while they held revolvers at
the heads Of Beach and his wife robbed
the house Of everything Of value that it
contained Loaded with money and
jewelry, they backed out Of the door
ana disappeared in the darkness.
The crime was committed within pis-
toll shot Of the residence Of George NJ.
Nichols. who was recently murdered
by masked men, and the entire district
is as thoroughly aroused as il was over
the Nichols murder and robbery. There
is no doubt that the slightest show Of
resistance would have resulted in the
murder Of both Mr.. and Mrs. Beach.
The house in which the Beaches live
is in the center of farming district.
All Of the residents whereabouts retire
early. and the Beaches were preparing
for bed when the thieves descended up
on them. The men entered the house
so stealthily that even in the solitude
which prevailed they We're not heard.
MI Beach was bending over in HIS
chair in the act of undressing when
the command to surrender all he pos
sesscd was delivered. He looked up in
establishment, (which increased to hor-
ror as he bcheld the muzzle Of big re-
volver close to his forehead. While still
speechless he was warned not to make
an cutlery or his head would be blown
off
Obedient to the next command of the
thief the farmer produced his pocket
! book, containing almost all the money
! he possessed In the world, and trent
blingly passed It over to the custody OF
| the man who was making murder the
penalty Of disobedience. After getting
! all the personal belongings he advised

raid, the men, still covering their vic

OF the house and diappeared as silently
as they had come.

Of the c0mmOnest diseases and one q
the most obstinate. People have it fol
years and just because it is not immed-

causes no end of suffering. Careless
ness about so simple a thing as piles
has often caused death. Hemmorhages
occur during surgical treatment, often
causing death.
Piles are simple in the beginning and
easily cured. They can be cured even
in the worst stages, without pain on

pletely. There is only one remedy that
will do it-Pyramid Pile Cure.

heals the irritated surface, and with
