even remain in his bed, and he has to get
up and pace the foor-it is time for that
man to bring himself up with round turn.
If he does not, 1t means nervous prostration
and mental, if not physical, death.
there is remedy that will brace him up,
put him on his feet and make man of him
again. It is DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. It goes to the bottom of things.
It searches out the first cause. When a
man is in this condition you can put your
finger on one of two spots and hit that first
cause the stomach or the liver or both.
This great medicine acts directly On these
spots. Itpromptly transforms weak stom-
ach into q healthy one. It facilitates the
dow of digestive juices and makes diges-
ton and assimilation perfect. 1t gives a
man an appetite like boys. It invigor-
ates the liver It fills the blood with the
ife-giving elements of the food, and makes
it pure, rich, red and plentiful The blood
is the life current, and when it is filed with
the elements that build new and healthy
tissues, it does not take long to make a man
well and strong. 1t builds firm, muscular
flesh tissues and strong and steady nerve
fbers. It puts new life, vigor and vitality
into every atom and organ of the body. It
cures nervous exhaustion and prostration.
Nothing ''just as good |" can be found at
medicine stores.

CONGRESS- ASKED TO ACT.
Whole Question Submitted to Legis-

Grieved and disappointed at this barren
outcome of my sincere endeavors to reach
a practical solution, felt it my duty to re-
NIT the whole question to the congress.
In the message of April IL, 1898, l announced
that with this last overture In the direc-
ton of immediate peace in Cuba, and its
disappointing reception by Spain, the eff
fort of the executive was brought to an
end. l again reviewed the alternative
course of action which had proposed.

with international policy and compatible
with our firm-set historical traditions was

PAnuence. Besloes TINS, the instant revo-
cation of the order Of Recommendation was
asked, so that the sufferers, returning to
their homes and aided by united American
and Spanish effort might be put in q way
to support themselves and, by orderly re-
sumption of the well-nigh destroyed pro-
duot1ve energies of the island, contribute
to the restoration Of its tranquility and
well-being.
Negotiations continued for some little
time at Madrid, resulting in offers by the
Spanish government which could not but
be regarded as inadequate. 1t was pro-
posed to conftde the preparation Of peace
to the insular parliament, yet to be con.
yened under the autonomous DEGREES of
November 1897, but without impairment in
any wise of the constitutional powers of
the Madrid government. which, to that
end, would grant an armistice, if solicited
by the insurgents, for such time as the
general in chief might see fit to fix. How
and with what scope of discretionary
powers the insular parliament was ex-
pected to set about the preparation" of
peace did not appear. If 1t were to be by
negotiation with the insurgents, the issue
seemed to rest on the one side with a body
chosen by fraction of the electors in the
districts under Spanish control, and on
the other with the insurgent population
holding the interior country, unrepresented
in the so-called parliament, and defiant
at the suggestion of suing for peace.

text of President McKinley's annual mes
sage read at the opening Of the last session
of the Fifty first congress:
To the Senate and House of Representa-
tives: Notwithstanding the added burdens
rendered necessary by the war, our people
rejoice in a very satisfactory and steadily
increasing degree of prosperity evidenced
by the largest volume of business ever re-
corded. Manufacture has been productive,
agricultural pursuits have yielded album
dant returns, labor In the fields of industry
is better rewarded, revenue legislation
passed by the present congress has IN
creased the treasury's receipts to the
amount estimated by its authors, the
finances of the government have been sue
cessfully administered and its credit ad-
vanced to the first rank, while its currency
has been maintained at the world highest
standard. Military service under com
mon flag and for righteous cause has
strengthened the national spirit and served
to cement more closely than ever the fra
country. A review. of the relation of the
United States to other powers, always APP
propriate, is this year of primary impor-
lance in view of the momentous issues
which have arisen, demanding in one In
stance the ultimate determination by arms
and involving far-reaching consequences
which will require the earnest attention
OF the congress.

Spain and Other Countries Notified Of
Beginning of Hostilities.
Spain having thus denied the demand Of
the United States and initiated that COM
plete form of rupture Of relations which
attends state of war, the executive pow
ers authorized by the resolution were at
once used by me to meet the enlarged con-
tingency of actual war between Spain and
the United States. On April % I pro-
claimed blockade of the northern coast OF
Cuba, including ports on said coast be-
tween Cardenas and Bahia Honda and the
port of Cienfuegos on the south coast Of
Cuba; and on the 23d called for volun-
teers to execute the purpose Of the resolu-
ton. By my message Of April rs. the con-
gress was informed Of the situation and
United States and Spain The congress
accordingly voted on the same day the
existence of such war, from and including
the 21st day of April, and reenacted the
provision of the resolution Of April 20, di-
forces of the nation to carry that act into
effect. Due notification, of the existence of
war as aforesaid was given April Is by
which the United States maintain relations,
surea during the war. The various gov.
neutrality each after its own methods.
It is not among the least gratifying incl
dents OF the struggle that the obligations
of neutrality were impartially discharged
by all, often under delicate and difficult
circumstances.
In further funillment of international
duty, issued April 26 proclamation an
nouncing the treatment proposed to be
accorded to vessels and their cargoes, as

SPAIN AND CUBA.
A Resume of the Conditions Which
Led IN to the War.

Led Up to the War.
In my last annual message very full con-
sideration was given to the question Of
the duty of the government of the United
States toward Spain and the Cuban In
surrection as being by far the most i'm
portant problem with which we were then
called upon to deal The considerations
then advanced. and the exposition of the
views therein expressed, disclosed my
sense of the extreme gravity of the stu
alton. Setting aside, as logically I'M
founded or practically inadmissible, the
recognition Of the independence of Cuba,
neutral Intervention to end the war by i'm
posing rational compromise between the
or the other party, and forcible annexation
Of the island, I concluded 1t was honestly
