THE WAR SITUATION.


 Wednesday by vote of 322 yeas and iution reported by the majority of the Committee on Foreign Relatious. This resolution is as follows:
 Resolved, That the President is hereby authorized and directed to intervene at once to stop the war in Cuba, and to end the war with the purpose of securing permanent peace and order there, and establishing by free action of the people thereof a stable and independent government of their own in the island of Cuba and the President is hereby authorized and empowered to use the land and naval forces of the United States to execute the purpose of this resolution"
 Senators debated the resolution all day Thursday, the contention being that the United States should recognize the present Cuban republic. It is doubtful if the resolution will be adopted by the Senate, that body re- quiring something more vigorous.
 General Lee in Washington. He says there is no doubt the Maine was blown up by Spanish officials.
 The flying squadron has sailed under sealed orders.
 Uncle Sam buys the Brazilian cruiser Nictheroy.
 The Spanish minister has made final preparations to leave Washington.
 No one in Washington doubts that war will be declared next week.
 The United States has bought the tranS-Atlantic liners St Louis and St Paul. which will be fitted out as cruisers, and Captain Sigsbee will be placed in command of one of them.
 England shows the strongest sym pathy with the United States.
 The Queen Regent has conEoked the Spanish Parliament for next Wednes- day.
 Both houses of Congress have labored under intense excitement for the past three days. The almost unanimou, voice is for war, though there is con. siderable difference of opinion as ts the method of bringing it about.

From every county in the territory comes information that the attempts to sell delinquent property for taxes this year is regarded as useless. Some of the counties taking early recognition of the situation have ordered pnblica- tion of the delinquent tax list as under the original law with the notice con- templated by the amended law. The experiment of attempting to "cinch" the newspapers of the territory because they were necessarily paid for publish ing the long advertisements necessi- tated by the delinquent list will be an expensive experiment on the part of the few mossbacks who concocted and pushed through the scheme regardless of the public welfare and the legal rights of the people in such matters. The men who fathered and worked that matter will be invited to back seat in the future who ever they may have been. That sort of legislation will ruin any people.--t tBisbee Orb.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all it's stages and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Halls Ca tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby de- stroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assist ing nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of Testi- monials.
