FOR FREE CUBA.

mendatiOn of the subcommittee for res

Cuba and recommending armed interyen-
ton. if necessary. TO secure it.
This conclusion was reached after
session today that did not continue for
more than an hour. and so far as can be
learned there was no division of opinion
expressed in the committee as to the pro-
Driety of the course. Senators GRAY
Daniel and Turpie were absent, but the
opinion is expressed that none of them
will make any opposition to the reporting
Of the resolution.
The general lines of the Foraker resO-
luton will be followed in the resolution
reported by the committee. The full
committee today gave most of its atten-
ton to the text of the report which will
be made to accompany the resolution and
which has been prepared by Senator
Davis.
After the committee had been sitting
for brief time. Mr.. Davis called a car
riage and made a hurried trip to the
white house for the purpose of compar-
ing views with the President on some of
the points to be made.
The committee also had Admiral Irwin
before them for some time today, exam
lining him as a torpedo expert on the
Maine disaster and also on the strength
of the Spanish torpedo f1otilla and the

ALL OUT FOR WAR.
But PriN Ceton College Students
Fail to Get Grover to March
with Them.

Princeton, n. J., April 2.-The POSSIBLE
ity of war aroused quite a frenzied ex-
hibition of patriotism among the students
OF the university last night. The move
ment was wholly spontaneous and was
started by few seniors about II o'clock.
''AII out for war; was the cry raised.
and III very short time a large part
of the student body was out yelling
around the historic cannon which did
service in the Revolutionary battle of
Princeton and which now is the hub of
Princeton life.
A parade was next organized the lire
Of march being down historic Nassau
street to the home of eX-President Cieve-
land. Repeated calls failed to bring the
eX-President out for the desired speech,
so the march continued, the next stop
being Prospect. the home of President
Patton of the university
President Patton came out and made a
very patriotic and yet conservative speech.
AS close to the demonstration of the
evening a large bonfire was kindled on
top of the old cannon and for two hours
the students yelled and sang patriotic
songs.

RAISE TAX ON BEER.
This Means of Raising Additional
Revenue is Under Con-
SidRratfOn.

Washington. D. c., April 2.-Secre-
tary Gage and Representative Dngley
of Maine, chairman of the House ways
and means committee were received by
, the President during the forenoon and
were soon in conference with him on
business that, while they would not dis
cuss it but left it to conjecture, can be
safely said to have related to the ma
tlOnal finances and to measures to put
the treasury on a war footing, involving,
as hostile operations will if once begun,
largely increased expenditures and APP
preparations. 1t is thought this phase of
the question may be figured to some ex-
tent in the Presidents message.
Although an appropriation bill in the
regular order would go to the committee
on appropriations, there is reason for the
belief that a war revenue measure has
been under consideration, and it is now
altogether probable that a bill of this
character may be introduced at the same
time If it is not indeed, made a part of
the expected bill or resolution authorizing
the President to intervene iOrcibly to put
stop to the hostilities in Cuba. No
definite plan, or even an outline of q plan,
to raise q war revenue from internal rev
enue sources has yet been formulated but
1t is the belief of persons who necessarily
would be consulted in the matter that leg
islatiOn for an additional tax on beer is
almost certain, in the event of hGStilites
to be recommended to Congress. Whisky,
it is said, also would come in for q share
of the increase but for the fact that the
present rate is S1.1O per gallon, in the
opinion of experienced revenue officials,
is really above the maximum revenue pro-
ductiOn point.
There is no reasonable doubt that quite
n ct of 1rtic aI,
luXuries will be considered by the ways
and means committee as objects of rev.
enue legislation in case any large amount
Of funds IS needed to carry on the war,
which nearly all visitors at the white
house said now seems inevita BILE
Treasury experts have estimated that
the increase of the tax on beer from 81
to 81 per barrel would result in a gain
of approximately $40,000O00 a year to
the revenues. but whether so heavy an
increase as that is contemplated is not
known.
Representative McMiilin. the ranking
Democratic member of the ways and
means committee called while Chairman
Dingley was in conference with the Pres
ldent but remained only few minutes.
The question of laying Il small inter
nal revenue tax on tea and coffee is also
under consideration.
1t is thought that tax of something
less than 10 cents a pound on tea and
about = cents pound on coffee would
bring in large revenue, possibly $35,-
100000 to $40 00G 900 a wear
This tax. it is thought, would not re-
suit i'll materially increasing the price to
the consumers of either tea or coffee, ex-
cept possibly in the beginning. The

Berlin, April 2.-Germany proposes to

bassador has been formally notified by
the German minister for foreign affairs
that the WarshiD Geier has been ordered
to sail in the direction of Cuba (she is
now believed to be in West Indian wa
ters) to punish the insurgents, who, it is
claimed, burned a German sugar refinery
and murdered four persons there. The
ship captain will collect indemnity unless
Spain Furnishes the offenders promptly
and makes monetary compensation for
the damage done and the lives taken.

Berlin, April 2.-The German ambas-

ports to the foreign Office here that the
Spanish royal family fears an outbreak,
unless the differences between the United
States and Spain are soon settled.
The Carlist movement is assuming
more active form and the royal family
fears especially a pronunciamento from
Gen. Weyler and the military party.
Everything is prepared in the royal cas-
ties for fight. The boy King, Alfonso,

BAN ON DIVORCES.
Now Rule Promulgated by the Episcopal
Church.

sion appointed in 1892 by the 5J general con-
ventions of the Episcopal church of the
United States to revise the constitution
and canons Of the church has completed
its labors. In the report, section 3 of the
canon of marriage reads:
mo minister of this church shall SOL
emnize the marriage of either party to
divorce during the lifetime of the other"
The commission is composed of such
churchmen as the bishops Of Albany, n
Y, Kentucky, Chicago and Maryland and
many other prominent prelates. Bishop
Potter is opposed to the revision, believing
that the innocent party to a divorce should
be allowed to we'd again.

Blanks Take-Out-Aink,

White folks are not the only ones given
to fads and fancies or ready to try plans
for improving their personal appearance.
The colOred ministers of Washington are
preaching that flesh is vanity from a
point of view which does not give their
white brethren any trouble. Displayed
in a show window on one of the principal
shopping streets of Washington is this
sign: "Attenti0n, cOlOred people! Blank S
Take-Out-kink will take the kink out of
your hair and make it silky. soft, pliab BILE
and beautiful" Then follow instructions
for the use, accompanied by the guarantee
of harmlessness and by other statements
calculated to encourage the application Of
the preparation. But the sign is not
what draws the colored people to the WIN
dow and causes them to remain there
with admiring gaze. The bottom of the
show WINDOW is piled high with black
hair in the natural state. There is
enough to make good beginning with a
mattress. Above are exhibits of what
BLANKS Take-out-kink' can do. Switches
and bangs and braids and other forms of
black hair, soft and glossy and wayy, are
shown in strong contrast with the raw
material underneath. The sight is temp
tation. Colored pastors Of Washington
have discovered that the fashion to ex-
pertinent with ''take-out-kink'' is sweep
ing through their congregations. They
are denouncing from the pulpit in vigorous
language the Wickedness of trying to
change the natural order Of capillary
growth.
