HEDSKIN
20 TIMES

My little boy broke out with an itching rash.
Tried three doctors and medical college but
he kept getting worse. There acas not one
squareinch cfskin on his sohozebody unaffected.
He was one mass of sores, and the stencil was
frightful. In removing the bandages they
would take the skin with them, and the poor
child's screams were heart-breaking. After
the second application of CUTIcURA (oint-
ment) saw signs Of improvement, and the
sores to dry up. His skin peeled off twenty
times, but now he is entirely cured.

hope of the island being preserved to
Spain, has left Havana for some un-
blookaded port, where he hopes to find a
neutral ship to take him to Europe.
Regarding the prospects of peace Senor
Sagasta interviewed by a representative
of El Correspondence Militair, is report
ed as saying: sit is certain, most certain,
that the government has endeavored to
ascertain extraordinarily the disposition
of the Washington cabinet regarding q
pacific solution, but for the moment I
can say absolutely nothing because the ene-
my might wrongly suppose that we desired
peace at any price and accordingly show
himself more exacting. I have been
told the proposals cabled to Ell Impartial

 If this proposition came at any other time, it might have more important bearing on the situation. Coming now when the Spanish elections are being held, when the Maine report is about to go to Congress, and a crisis con fronts the peace of the administration here; when President Mckinley is about to inaugurate a policy for feed ing the starving and ending the var no man living knows how-no one who knows of these new oVertures thinks he should be blamed for being skepti- cal. In fact 1t can be stated that about the only persons who are not skeptical are the President and diplomats of Spain. The President wants more time. He believes that war can be averted, and with characteristic pa- tience is ready to consider everything that might lead to a peaceful solution of the question. Spain's promised prop osition is based on a successful out come for the Sagasta Ministry in the elections which are held to-day.
 The Spanish legation asserts that Sagasta has won the Cortes Details of this plan were not made known to Assistant Secretary Day who conduct ed the negotiations. It was explained that Spain could not yield her sover- eignity over Cuba.

 Second-The discipline aboard the ship was excellent; everything slowed according to orders-ammunition, guns, stores, etc. The temperature of the magazine at D. m. was nominal, ex- cept in the after ten-inch magazine, and that did not explode.

 MADRID, March 27.-Madrid is ringing with patriotic outbursts. Spain has taken a stand which is apparently not credited in the United States. The Government has given its decision that it will neither accept the money offer for Cuba nor will 1t permit the so-called friendly intervention in Cuban affairs by the United States.
 With equal emphasis the Government has declared that 1t cannot consider the payment of any claim for damages

 The explosion may come at any min ute, but they say in administration cir cles that the outlook is better. It may be that the administration only hopes 1t will be better This is what has been going on while Madrid has been talking of war;
 Through her Minister, Senor de Der nabe, Spain to-day asked for further delay before the United States did any thing about Cuba, and promised that she would lay before the State Depart ment at an early day following the opanlsh elections her plan for more HperaI government of the island. This statement the Spanish Minister colored with ralnbows of the most roseate hues It would be such plan, so fair, so lib- eral, so alluring that the United States would not fail to accept it. It would have such attractions for insurgents that Gomez and all his followers would immediately lay down their arms Peace would reign in Cuba. Plenty
