Deafness Cannot be Cured,

one way to cure deafness and that is by CON

an intlamed condition of the mucous lining O
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is in
tanned you have rumbling sound or imper.

deafness is the result and unless the inflam

MIR. WOODFORD ORDERED OUT
 BY THE DONS
Government of Madrid Considers That the Presidents Ultima tum Constitutes a DeCIar-

Copyrighted, 1898. by James Gordon Bennett,
 MADRID, April 21.-At last the varying phases of the Cuban question have been merged into a concrete is sue, with war as the arbiter. Even those who most dreaded such solv- ing of the problem are glad that the strain is over, that there is no more hesitation possible, and that, in fact, the ball has been set rolling.
 The Spanish Government has brok- en of diplomatic relations with the United States. For the last couple of days there has been a noticeable feeling of restlessness, and even some little irritation, over the continued stay in Madrid of General Woodford. As I told you last night, the Span ish Government had firmly decided to receive no ultimatum. One Minis ter said to me that it was an insult for any nation to demand from an- other the performance within forty eight hours of physically impossi- ble task, namely, the withdrawal of her huge military and naval forces from any point, so they determined to avoid the necessity for reply by refusing further communication with the United States, and, as it was cer- tain General Woodford would carry out his instructions to the letter, sort of deadlock began to be feared.
 The most serious questions that could possibly confront the country even threatened to take on a faintly grotesque aspect, and the presenta- tion of the ultimatum to degenerate into a process resembling the serv- ing of a writ on the Government. An intimation was conveyed to Gen. eral Woodford that negotiations were at an end between the two countries when Senor Moret called upon him to bid him adieu.
 When this somewhat broad hint had no effect they were quite non- plussed Finally, last night, shortly before the arrival of the cable mes sage to General Woodford from Pres ident Mckinley containing the ulti- matum, the Cabinet dispatched note to the United States Minister officially informing him that diplo- matic relations were broken off, and that no further communications were possible between the two govern
The San Francisco call., 1898-04-22

ments. An end was thus put to a situation which was rapidly becom- ing strained to the danger point.
 With the going away of General Woodford all lethargy has left the people. War specials are being cried in the streets. All the talk is war, every one is wondering where the first blow will be struck, and by whom.
 It seems certain that Spain will leave all initiative to the United States. At the same time, all troops are being called out and massed at various points of the peninsula. Next week, at the very latest, large re- Inducements will be dispatched to Porto Rico. In fact, a battalion has already been sent from Cuba to Porto Rico, so as to place the lesser island in better position for defense.
 From every point of Spain notices come of enthusiastic demonstrations, and the entire spirit of the people is compressed into the vibrating cry:
 "Vive la Guerra"
 General Woodford left Madrid this afternon at o'clock.
 An immense crowd gathered at the station, composed of all classes. A strong force of police and civic guards maintained order, while amid the crowd moved large number of private detectives. A detachment of civil guards accompanied General Woodford to the frontier. The retir-

 But while history has been made to- day, the events of to- morrow may cast into O b S curity tn o s C which have led up to the crisis.
 The peaceful blockade of Havana under existing condi- tions seems impossible, and no one supposes for a moment that the American fleet under command of Rear Admiral Sampson, now engaged m bIockading Havana harbor, can remain in these waters an hour without the first shot being fired that precipitates a conflict which may go down to posterity as the greatest sea battle of modern history.

 Already they differ in their views as to the duration of the war. They all agree that swift and vigorous will be the stroke delivered by the Amer ican navy to put an end to Spanish misrule in Cuba. But the loss of Cuba to Spain does not mean an end of the war with Spain.

ing Minister maintained his usual calmness, but looked worn and fa- tigued.
 At this afternoons Cabinet coun- cil Senor Sagasta addressed the Queen Regent thus: "In this solemn moment when the first cannon shot is almost audible, the Government is prepared to assume the entire respon- sibility for it's decisions, but consid- CTS it opportune that the Queen Re- gent should hear the opinion of all the present leaders and influential men of all parties, as we'll as the principal generals"
 According to this proposal, the Queen Regent will commence the consultation this evening.

 In conclusion, the Correspondence expresses confidence in the eventual triumph of justice.

The trip of yesterday was only a short one for practice.
