Everything Seems Wrong

upside down the times are out Of

upon his best friend.
Now, the thing that oftenest IS
wrong with dyspeptics, is their
choice OF a remedy. 1t seems to
lie between drugs and medicines
on the one hand and the Carlsbad
Sprudel Salt on the other. They
can't both be right; there's too
much difference in their methods
and in their results.

SUMMARY OF THE NEWS.

Horatio S. Rubens, counsel for the Cuban
Junta, declared the Cubans could not ac-
cept any interference by the United States
which did not include absolute independ-
ence for Cuba, and if American troops
were landed IN Cuba on other terms would
as last resort resist them by force OF arms
The Junta promptly repudiated the last
part of the statement.
Special reports show that nearly every
State in the Union is preparing for war.
Militia is being recruited to full strength,
equipments are being overhauled and sup
plies got ready. Preparations for quick
mobilization are being made. Many COM
panies of volunteers are being organized.
Several States have provided war funds for
emergency.
The man who made for Spain the mine
which he is convinced blew up the Maine,
j. L. Gibbons, of London, cabled signed
statement. He says it was ground mine
containing 500 pounds of guncotton, and
could not possibly have been exploded ex-
cept by an officer of the Spanish Govern
ment.
Representative Lorrimer, of Illinois, says
General Lee told Captain Sigsbee that
when the Maine was blown up he electric
lights in Havana were extinguished, show
ing electrical connection with the destruc-
tion of the battleship. General Lee will
tell what he knows to Congress.
detachment of the New York Naval
Reserves-the first of our citizen soldiery
to be called into active service-reported
for duty on the United States monitor
Nahant at Philadelphia 1t is expected
that the monitor will be stationed at New
York
Minister Woodford says that delay is
making tor peace in Spain, but all reported
facts point to a growing conviction there
that war is inevitable. The General has
been instructed by the State Department
to leave Madrid when he sees fit.
The officers and men of the Asiatic
squadron cabled at their own expense from
Hongkong for news of the Maine. On or
ders from Washington the Boston and Con-
cord were called back from Chemulpo and
the fleet made ready for action.
Most of the ships of Spain's navy are
gathering at Cadiz. But instead of any
squadron being ordered to American
waters, neither squadron assembling at
Cadiz is anywhere near ready for sea,
much less for fighting.

PEND HosTlLITlEs.

The Captain-Gensral is to Prepare q Way
for Peace-The European Powers Advised
This Action-Of Course, Spain May De-
fond Herself If the Patriots Fight On aud
She Continues Preparations.
Madrid, April 14.-The Cabinet has is
sued an official note which says that the
Ministers have authorized Captain General
Blanco to suspend hos:ilties in Cuba for
such time as he thinks convenient in order
10 prepare the way for peace.
Gen. Correa, Minister Of War, has made
the following statement, which may be
taken as summing up the reasons why the
war party within the Government adopted
the concession made by their colleagues
at is a mistake to say that the Govern
ment has granted an armistice to the
rebels. i would not have agreed to that.
would rather have left the Cabinet, for
such action would be tantamount to recog-
nizing the rebels as belligerents. What
the Government agreed to in response TO
the invitation of the powers is this:
mot to prosecute hostiitiities for such
time as Gen. Blanco may deem expedent
as preparatory TO peace. / acceded to this
cessation of hostlites because to reject the
suggestion of the powers would have been
to divorce Spain from the whole world. If
] left the Cabinet l should be bequeathing
An evil heritage to my successor.
81 believe that Gen. Blanco will proclaim
the concession of truce, and also the will
lingness of the Government to offer indul-
gent terms to the rebels. If during the
truce there are important submissions, il
the United States withdraws its men, Of
war from the neighborhood of Cuba and
the Philippine Islands, all will be well, and
way to peace will be speedily arranged;
but if not, then the war will be continued
in Cuba, and the powers will be obliged to
ask of the United States absolute neutrality
and the dissolution of the filbustering
committee in New York.
"All this does not prevent the Spanish
Government from continuing to make mill
tary preparations and to place the Penin-
sula, the Canary and Balearic Islands and
Porto Rico in state of defence"
The report that the condition of the
armistice include the withdrawal of the
American fleets from waters near Cuba
and the Philippine Islands is reproduced
everywhere, but there is nothing to sub
stantiate its truth.

Mandatory Measures by tho Foreign Com

Washington, ID. Mandatory resolu-
tons directing the President to intervene in
Cuba, and couched in such terms as to
amount practically to declaration of war,
will be reported to both houses of Con-
gress at once. The preamble of the resolu-
tions says, in effect:
"That the horrible condition of affairs
existing for more than three years in the
island of Cuba, so near to our borders, is
shocking and disgrace to Christian civili-
zation; that it has eliminated in the de-
structon of United States battleship and
266 of her officers and crew while on a
friendly visit in the harbor of Havana, and
that such things as this cannot longer be
tolerated, and that therefore, carrying out
the suggestion in the Presidents message
that Congress should act, be it resolved
"First-That the people of the island of
Cuba are and of right ought to be free and
independent.
"Second-That the war Spain is waging
against Cuba is so destructive of the COM
mercial and property interests of the Uni
ted States, and so cruel, barbarous and in
human in its character as to make it the
duty of the United States to demand, and
the Government of the United States here
by does demand, that she at once withdraw
her land and naval forces from Cuba and
Cuban waters
"Third-Ihat the President of the Uni
ted States be, and he hereby is, empowered
and directed to use the entire land and
naval forces of the United States to carry
these resolutions into effect.
"Fourth-That the President is author
lied to call out the militia of the different
States to such an extent as may be neces-
sary to carry these resolutions into effect"

Navy Long and Assistant Secretary Roose-

Congress for authority to enroll the naval

granted, will mean the immediate increase

men of the militia, and large number of
seamen and officers from the merchant
marine
