The loss OF the hair Is one of the most

POWERS TO SPAIN.
Give Up Cuba, and We Will Guaran-
tee Your DYNASTY

New York, April "a dispatch to the
World from Madrid says: The ambas-
sadors of five great European powers
France. Germany, Russia, italy and Aus
tria-have automatically informed the
government of Spain that war with the
United States can only She avoided in
their judgment. by Spain yielding.
The ambassadors OF Europe have adj
yised extreme concessions to the United
States. They have appealed to Spain s
pride, noble self-sacriiice and sef-inter-
Cuba.
The ambassadors of the same powers
called upon President Mckinley in Wash
ingtou in the interests of peace as n mat
ter of form There was possibly no ex-
pectation. no hope, that the United States
would recede one inch from its one vital
dsmand-that Spain must give up Cuba.
But the powers may have felt that Is
they were about to use coercion in Mad
rid, IL would be diplomatic to make a
demonstration in Washington at the same
time.
There are reasons to believe the powers
have made extraordinary representa- tons
10 Spain. They have said in effect that
II she should make such concessions to
the United States as they believed to be
necessary. the powers of Europe would
guarantee her against war. both external
and internal.
The powers would delegate TO one of
their own number Austria, whose throne

Spain by ties of blood. the duty OF de-

that might arise. as a menace to the
dynasty. as a result of yielding to the
demands OF the United States.
In plain English. this means that Aus

press civil war. The Austrian troops
would have behind them the allied moral

Lee Rife Proves Unsuccessful For
Various Reasons.

Fort Riley, Kan, April 9.-Tests We're
made on the range today of the Lee
rife, adopted by the government for
the navy. The tests were conducted
by the same surgeons and army officers
who conducted similar experiments
here. about two years ago with the
Krag-J orgensen army rifle. Picked
sharpshooters from the several COM
oanies did the shooting Two cadayers
were used, one of a fat negro and the
other of a very thin white man. These
were bound 10 planks and placed be-
the marksmen aimed.
DR.. J. D. Griffith of Kansas City, a
member CT the board, stated after the
tests that the rifle did not prove
success, as compared with the Krag-
Jorgensen army gun. neither for pene-
trative powers or humane qualities. At
a range of 1000 yards, supposed to be
the distance at which the Lee rifle will
be used most frequently in naval war
fare, the steel-jacketed bullets of the
Lee rifle failed TO go through a corpse,
and one bullet failed even to go
through the right arm below the elbow.
From the humane standpoint the
weapon proved worse than the Krag-
Jorgensen, for the bullets shattered
bones into fragments, instead of pierre
ing them. In point Of accuracy the
gun did not seem to compare with the
army weapon, and this feature is at
tributed to the fightness of the bullet
When previously tested at the same
distance the army gun pierced the ca
davers and vent through four inches
of wood.
