b srnment,
Washington, March 2S.-It can be
stated on positive information that this
government will, IL indeed II has not
already done so, inform Spain that the
conditions now existing In Cuba have
become intolerable to the people of
this country, and that hostiiities on the
island must close. This policy Is In di-
rect line with the view Of the president
as expressed in his last message to con-
gress on Dec. 6. So far as known no
specific date has been fixed within
which the war must be terminated, but
IL 10 believed that II Is the purpose of
the administration not to permit of any
unnecessary or extended delay. II Is
known in high official circles that many
of the people highest in authority in
Spain, including members of the min
istry, are extremely weary of the con-
fiict in Cuba and would willingly ac-
cede to any reasonable terms for a set
tlement of the whole question by grant
ing to Cuba her independence on an
indemnity basis. The opposition to this
plan comes from the factions opposed
TO the present administration, who de-
mand extreme measures, IL necessary,

days ago by his father, his hands and
legs having been lacerated by the teeth
of a dog, which attacked him near his

Spanish OmoiaIs Are Guilty.

That Spanish officials are guilty and
that the president thinks so is empha-
sized by the fact that an imperative or
der has been issued by Secretary Long
that all war vessels, except torpedo
boats, which are sea green, shall be
painted black. This order was tele-
graphed to Commodore Schley, in
charge Of the flying squadron, and to
Captain Sampson at Key West. The
work is now being done and Ii means
that Mckinley realizes that we are
upon the brink of war.
More than this, instructions were ca
bled Minister Woodford under which
he will inform the Madrid authorities
that the United States regards the
sending of a fotilla of torpedo boats
to Cuba as unfriendly to the United
States: that the report of the Maine
court Of inquiry, also cabled, is final so
far as this country is concerned, and
that no attention can be paid to the
findings of the Spanish board. Further,
the United States will not tolerate a
suggestion for arbitration and Spain
will be expected to act accordingly.
VIII Arouse Spanish Ire.
This is sure to arouse the ire Of the
sagasta ministry, but II not the note
now being drafted in our state depart
ment will. 1t will notify Spain that
this government is about to feed all
hungry people in Cuba, notwithstand-
ing their relations to Spain. and there
will be strong intimation that force
will be used II necessary.
While these highly important COM
munications are being made the United
States will proceed to demonstrate her
meaning. A flying squadron will be
sent out to meet the Spanish torpedo
flotilla, and 1t may be with orders to
turn 1t back or sink every boat compos-
ing 1t. 1t Is thought Commodore Schley
will! be assigned to this duty. On ev-
cry hand, too, there Is the most pro-
nounced activity. The Crescent Ship
Building company at Elizabet hport, N.
j., has received rush orders for six tor
pedo boat destroyers, and six torpedo
boats, and hurry-up orders have been
given that all vessels undergoing re-
pairs or nearing completion shall be
rushed.
Something About to Happen.
The grass is not growing under the
feet OF any one in the navy or the
army departments, and there Is feel
ing in both that something portentious
Is about to happen.
AS soon as II was given out at the
White House that the Maine was blown
up by an outside explosion the Man
grove was given sudden orders to sail
for Havana and take on all American
officials there except Consul General
Lee.
II the situation appears more threat
ening another ship will be sent after
Lee, but which one has not been de-
cided upon yet. 1t has been said that

Chicago, March 2S.-The charred re-
mains of William Marvin were taken
from the Emerson building ruins on
Wabash avenue. Although beyond rec
ognition the police are positive the body
is that of the missing bookkeeper Of the
Olmsted Scientific company. 1t was
badly burned and the Identification is
not yet complete, although the clothing
and articles found on the body seem to
fix 1t positively. 1t is supposed there
are many more bodies still in the ruins.

editorial article. headed Face to Face"
says:
I'VE are in a corner. and apparently
there Is only one way out. We are
unwilling to believe that the govern
ment, after enunciating certain princi-
pies, will tamely allow its rivals to
transgress them. The ministers them
selves have spoken brave words as re-
CARDS the only possible course for Eng
land to take In such circumstances as
the present. Now Is the time for the
government to justify their words. The
question inevitably occurs. Are Port
Arthur and Talien-Wan worth going TO

humiliate all patriotic Englishmen.
Now is the critical moment Let IL be
known that we will fight at once, un-
less Russia gives way"
dispatch to a news agency from
Shanghai says that Russia has ordered
the Chinese to leave Port Arthur and

The British newspapers in China and

that Russia's possession OF Port Arthur

DR.. Horace Wells was In the audience,

and the next day they determined to try
1t. As the dose was to be stronger, there
was no knowing whether the patient
would ever come out from under the in

gas and DR.. Riggs drew out one Of his
teeth "a left superior molar). When DR..
Wells recovered consciousness he ex-
claimed:

operations Of surgical character were
performed here after that, and Drs.
Wells and Riggs used the gas in the draw

There is one incident of the day which shines

at the field hospital. About a dozen of US were
living there. continual chorus Of moans r1se
through the tree branches overhead. The sur
geons with hands and barred arms, dripping, and
clothes literally saturated with blood. were
stranng every nerve to prepare the wounded
for the journey down to Siboney. Behind me
literally ground TO powder. He bore his pain
as calamity as he had led his men. and that is
saying much. l think Major Brodie also

by groans and made spasmodic by pain, trembled
up from that little group Of wounded Americans

sang.
sfThere was one voice that did not quite keep
up with the Others II was 50 weak that did
