WAR in CUBA MUST CEASE.
President Mckinley PIeparing an Oltl'
matum for Transmission to spain'


matum for Transmission to Spain.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-President
Mckinley is preparing to move upon
Spain. Within sixty days he will pre-
sent to the Madrid government de-
mand that the war in Cuba be stopped.
This demand has been already decided
upon, but the terms in which tits to be
expressed will not be arranged TILL
after the Maine incident is cleared up
and the Spanish note now in transit to
this country has been received. The
demand which the president has re-
solved to make of Spain does not mean
war, necessarily, but it does mean
peace in Cuba and q cessation OF the
horrors of the situation now existing
in that island. 1t may bring on crit
ical situation, but probably no hostil'
tiles. The president will point out to
Spain that the situation in Cuba is in
tolerable to the United States; that
there are no signs of a settlement by
Spain alone; that as matters now look
the war is likely to 60 on indefinitely;
that this government has waited
patiently for the experiment of new
administration and new policy in
Cuba, but that no good appears to have
come from them; that autonomy is
failure, and that neither from the civil
nor military point of view has General
Blanco achieved success; that many
thousands of people are starving, with
no prospect of an amclioration of their
condition.

Mckinley Prepares for Emergency.

CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-The Tribune's
Washington special says: Toa senator
who called upon him to ask some
serious questions as to the policy of
the administration, President Mckinley
said: Il do not propose to do anything
at all to precipitate war with Spain.
Up to the present do not think that
war is either necessary or inevitable. 1
would be lax in my duty, however, if I
did not prepare for the future. The
situation is grave, and the policy of
the administration will be determined
almost entirely by the course of events
from time to time. There is no neces-
sity of alarming the people, but con-
gress must be ready to assist the adj
ministration without making too
many inquiries as to the course Of our
rent events"

SPAIN WILL NOT SELL CUBA.

Negotiations to That End Will Be Fruit
less With Any Madrid Government.
New YORK, Feb. 24.-The Madrid
correspondent to the Herald says: AS
the question of the purchase of Cuba
is again being pushed in Washington,
it may be of use to statc-and I have
it on the highest authority-that Spain
will never, no matter what government
is in power, consider any such sugges-
ton or any compromise in Cuba, be-
yond the broad measure of autonomy
drafted by the liberal government.
This is an absolute, irrevocable decis-
ion. People who suggest anything
else are wasting time and arousing un-
founded hopes in the minds of the re-
bells.

theory advanced was that he had been

reached the house as death came to
him. During the excitement no other
idea was advanced. The body was

The mans head was badly cut, as is

Judge Giberson, of the Cedar Rap
ids superior court, recently handed
down an important decision, after
having the matter under advisement
for ninety days. In 1886 N. B. Brown
decided to the Chicago & Northwestern
railway tract of land for money
and certain other considerations, one OF
which was that they should forever
maintain passenger and freight depot
upon the site. Two years ago this
company, together with the Burling-
ton, Cedar Rapids & Northern railway,
left this depot and occupied a new
union depot two blocks south. Harry
r. Brown, one of the heirs of n. Il.
Brown, brought suit against the rail
way companies for possession of the
land on the ground that they had for
feited title to it because of abandoning
it as a passenger station site. Judge
Giberson finds for the defendants.
The property in question is very
valuable. -

Practice lii United States Patent Office.
Dies MONIES, Feb. 24.-There are IS
principal examiners, an examiner of
interfcrences nd an examiner of trade
r~arlxs, and each is practically a court.
There is also a board Of examiners-in-
chief conoosed of three men. The
commissioner is also clothed with
judiciary power.
From the adverse decision of an en-
aminer appeal may be made to the
cxaminers-in-chicf upon the payment
of $40. From the decision of the OK
aminers-in-chief to the commissioner
upon payment of $50, and from his
decision to the court of appeals of the
District of Columbia.
Some of the most valuable patents
granted are obtained by contests there
for in this series of courts.
It is the duty of examiners in the
United States patent office to make
objections and refuse claims for patents
as often as they can find good reason
for doing SO, and the duty of an attor-
ney to overcome all objections raised if
it is possible to do SO. An attorney
who does not know his rights and
C@lVklo Alto 1AChS phLlCIlCe,
ability and courage to prosecute claims,
in other words maintains his rights,
regardless of the time and labor re-
CURED to do so, is not such an attorney
as an inventor should employ to secure
a patent. BY the joint efforts of an
examiner and an attorney in contest
for patent all the objections are made
that probably can be made before a
patent is allowed, so that when it is
issued it will stand trial for validity in
the courts. Hence there can be no
objection on account of the refusal of
claims if such action is not unreason-
able and delays incident to a contest
are really in the interest of the
inventor. -.
