An 1nsult.

The action of the Spanish cabinet in handing Minister Woodford his passports before he could present the ultimatum of the United States, was an insult to this government in keep ing with the cunning character of the treacherous Spaniards. Such a proceeding was unusual and extra ordinary, and was not in keeping with international usages. Since Spain did not wait for the ultima tum of this country, there is now no reason why President Mckinley should observe the time limit set forth in his ultimatum. h immedi- ately dispatehing the North Allan tie Squadron from Key West to Gu ban waters the President acted rightly and with vigor. We trust the telegram sent to Capt. Sampson to "execute your orders meant to immediately proceed to Havana harbor and lombard Moro Castle. The United States should show its recognition of the insult by an i'm mediate blow. Let that blow be de- ivered at Havana, and followed up by American troops on Cuban soil. The time for diplomatic and inter- nation courtesies has passed. The issue is now war, and nothing but the arbitrament of the sword and gun powder can settle it. Let it be settled as quickly as possiblei the quicker the better.
 The GRAPHIC in common with all peaee-loving mankind, regrets to see a resort to arms, but events have so precipitated themselves that there is now no other recourse.
 There can be no doubt of the ulti- mate end. The United States will eventually be victorious, but how long it will take and how much blood and treasure it will cost, only the god of battles can know.
 But the issue has been joined and it must be fought to a conclusion. Let the insult to Minister Woodford, Consul General Lee and the blowing up of the Maine be speedily avenged. There is nothing to do now but fight, and let the battle be short, sharp and decisive.

Catarrhal sufferers should remem- Der that Ely's Cream Balm is the only catarrh remedy which is quick ly and thoroughly absorbed by the diseased membrane. It does not dry up the secretions, but changes them to a limpid and odorless condition, and finally to a natural and healthy character.

Does Not Regard Manila ~ Won by the
Yankees
Madrid, May Sin an interview today
Sepor Sagasta denied stoutly that there
is anything amiss in Manila. The city is
well defended with modern guns. manned
with competent gunners. The garrison
of the city, he said, comprises 5000 men,
and if the yankees reckon on aid from
the insurgents they will be wotully mis-
taken.
When questioned in regard to Deweys
fleet entering Manila harbor under cover
of night, Senor Sagasta said that it was
easy enough. The channel was wide and
deep and the currents were too strong to
effectively mine it. Referring to the en-.
tire absence Of news from Manila, Sagas-
ia admitted that that was the most dis
quieting feature of the affair.

Washington, May 5.-The failure OF
the navy department to receive any
word from Admiral Dewey is not regard
ed as surprising at the department OF
the bureau of navigation. 1t is believed
there that Dewey would hardly have de.

set out to do. They state that It could
not be expected that he would send sln
official despatch boat until the stars ard
stripes were hoisted over Manila.
The report that news had been re-
ceived at the navy department was EN-
phatically denied this afternoon. The
list of casualties will be given to the pub.

Severe but True.

Senator Thurston thus graphically tx
plains the situation 10 the western
provinces of Cuba, known as the Spanish
provinces
Under The inhuman policy Of Weyler
not less than 100000 stlf-supporing,
peaceable, defehceless country people
were driven from their homes in The
agricultural portions of the Spanish
Provinces to the cities and imprisoned
upon the barren waste outside the resi-
dence portions of these cities. and within
the lines Of iuirenchment established a
little way beyond. Their humble homes
were burned, their fields laid waste.
their implements Of husbandry de stroyed
and their live stock and food supplies
for the most part confiscated. Most OF
these people were old men, women and
children. Slow starvation WAS tn ir
inevitable fate. A conservative estima tie
indicates that 100000 of these people
have already persisted from starvation.
The Government of Spain has not ard
will net appropriate one dollar to save
these people. They are now being at
tended and nursed and administered to
by the charity of the United States.
Think OF the spectacle. We are feeding
these citiZens of Spain, we are nursii e
their sick, we are saving such as can be
saved, and yet there are those who still
say 1t Is right for US to send food, but
we must keep hands off. | say that the
time has come when muskets ought to
go with the food. | shall refer to these
horrible things no further. They are
tn, re. God pity me; have seen them
they will remain In nv mind forever,
and this is almost the Goth century.
Christ died 1900 years ago, and Spain is
Christian nation she has set up more
crosses Ia more lands, beneath more
skies, and under them has butcher
more people than all the nations on
earth combined.
