Washington, April l5.AThe Posts sum-
mary of the situation to be published in
to-morrow's issue includes the following
statement:
Immediately the President is empow-
cred to use the army and navy he viii
issue an ultmatum to SPAIN giving her
twenty-four hours. possibly forty-eight-
within which to answer whether she will
peaceably withdraw her troops and flag
from Cuba. Her refusal to evacuate the
island, which is, of course, expected, Will
be the signal for action on the part of
this government and that action will be
the vigorous use of both our land and
naval forces.
The Post makes this statement upon
the highest possible authority, the course
of action Indicated having been decided
upon at yesterdays cabinet meeting.
Should the resolutions reach the Presi-
dent accompanied by the amendment rec
ognizing the republic of Cuba, the Presl-
dent will sign them, but in a brief mes
sage to Congress he will hold that the ex-
eoutive prerogative vested in the President
to recognize other governments cannot be
taken away, and that the amendment Is
therefore void and imperative"

Washington. April 15--Several important
and decisive steps in the work OF war
preparations were taken by the navy de-
partment to-day. 1t was decided TO as
sign the naval reserves of New York, New
Jersey Massachusetts. Maryland and
Michigan TO the five auxiliary cruisers
hereafter to be known as patrol boats
These ships are the Prairie, the Dixie, the
Yankee, the Yosemite and either the Vene-
zuela or Yorktown the latter OF which
was purchased to-day.
The question of the American Line
steamers was also wound up to-day with
the decision to charter all four OF them
the st. Louis, st. Paul, Paris and New
York. The first two mentioned have af-
ready been acquired by the department,
though tho form of acquisition was tenta-
tive the department being undecided
whether II would purchase these two only,
or charter all foHr
With the announcement that these mag
nificent ships had been added to the aux
iliary fleet came the statement that the
department also purchased the Yorktown
of the Old Dominion Line and the Yumuri
of the Ward Line. These additions to the
fleet now includes the pick of the ocean
liners and coasting steamers running un-
der the American flag. AS in all instances
the prices paid are withheld by the de-
partment.
But of greater moment than any of
these developments was the reopenIns Of
negotiations for the purchase OF two war
ships and several torpedo boats from Chile
and Argentina. One OF the cruisers Is the
Chilean, O'Higgins, just completed at an
English yard and regarded as one Of the
most formidable of her class afloat.

Madrid, April "A, via Bayonne. France.
April 15.-The action taken by the Spanish
cabinet to-day has confirmed the general
belief which has been prevalent here since
yesterday, that war is now inevitable.
The warlike tone of the official note is
sued by the Spanish government finds gem
eral approval here and created much ex-
citement.
1t is learned on unquestionabIe author
ity that the Queen Regent made the fol-
lowing statement: 81 prefer even the hor-
rors of war rather than tarnish on the
prestige of the army. or an impairment of
the rights of the crown
Another factor, undoubtedly, is Don
Carlos manifesto of yesterday, of which
the following is an extract which was not
risked submitting to the censor:
The governors of Madrid may make a
call to arms inevitable and immediate If
they continue to permit the Spanish stand
ard to be dragged in the mud. Twenty
years of patriotic retirement have proved
that am neither ambitious nor conspir-
ator.
IF the glove which Washington has
flung in the face of Spain is picked up by
Madrid 1 will continue the same example
of abnegation as before, wretched that I
cannot partake In the struggle other than
by prayers and influence of my name.
But if everything leads me to fear that
the policy Of humiliation will again pre-
vail, we will snatch the reigns of govern
ment from those who are unworthy to hold
them and we will occupy their places"

Colfax is Exceptionally Healthy.

COlfax il Exceptionally Healthy.
1t is surprising that the idea should
be generally credited abroad that
Colfax is now subjected, or has been
subjected, to an epidemic of fatal fe-
vers. There is no sense or reason in
the prevailing idea, and it could only
gain credit with thoseignorant of the
real conditions.
During the past six weeks of the
present summer, in community of
three hundred persons, we have had
about twenty cases of all sorts of fe-
vers. Half of this number were of the
typhoid malarial type, commonly
known as continued" or slow fever"
Unfortunately in two OF these cases,
that of Mrs. Mary Dunn and Miss
Nena Swafford, there were physical
complications, rendering their sys-
TENS debilitated and unable to rally
under the treatment that our doctors
have heretofore invariably found ef-
fective, and the patients died. These
two deaths, OF lovely and prominent
ladies. having occurred within few
hours of each other, seem to have
caused a general panic in the sur
rounding country. They are the only
two deaths that have occurred in
Colfax from "slOw fever" since the
death of Prof. Paul, three years ago.
The general health OF Colfax at this
instant compares favorably with
that of any community in the State
The truth is, so little sickness usually
prevails here, that we have become
noted for exceptional healthfulness.
! In their treatment of the few case,
of continued fever that have occurred
here for several years past, the ply
sicians of Colfax have been remark
ably successful, not losing one case il
twenty. So generally is this fac
known, whenever the fever prevails il
Boyce, Pollock, and other surround
ing localities, the doctors OF Cola,
have invariably been called in con
sultation.
The public is assured that Colfax
now, and has been all along, as fire
from epidemic of any kind as any lc
cality in Grant parish. And this j
saying good deal, as our parish ha
} considerable repute for salubrity an
healthfulness.

corruption was used for and against

notable changes, although they We're
