London, July Pa special dis
patch from Madrid says the Span
ish government has drawn up a
message for Washington, prepara-
tory to discussing the terms OF
peace.
Madrid. July "a, p. m, delayed
In transmission. 1.-The correspond
emit here of the Associated Press
had an interesting conversation
with a persons occupying a high
position In the queen regents
household, and whose duties brings
him in daily intimate relations
with her. He said that the quarrel
between America and Spain is
much easier of adjustment than is
generally believed. The queen re-
gent, he continued, naturally en-
deayored to avoid war; and also
she desires an honorable peace.
She is quite alive to the force of
public opinion, and holds strictly
to the constitutional laws Of the
nation. 1t is an error to suppose
that the queen regent Is under the
pressure of the present or any
form Of government, Or that she is
regardless Of public opinion when
it is in conscnance with the true
interests of the Spanish people.
The official quoted then added
an important statement, saying:
"The present government will in
itiate peace, but modified cabinet,
headed by Senior GamaZo minister
Of public Instruction., will con-
clude the negotiations and then re-
tire, and Gen. Polavieja and Gen.
Campos will reorganiZe the count
try.
Everybody considers that Spain
should treat direct with the Amer
leans, whose practical good sense
will prevail over spread-eagleism."
Paris, July PA special dis
patch from Madrid gives the fol-
lowing account Of the queen re-
gents daily life during the present
crisis:
Poor cueen!" This is the ex-
clamation so often heard of late,
day after day, a matters grow
worse and worse, as the Spanish
disasters repeat themselves and as
the throne of the little king seems
slipping from her hands, into
which it was given in trust. see

SPAIN NOW VERY SYMPATHETIC
Appropriates 100000 Pesetas to the
Starving Cubans

Madrid. March 20-At midnight, AT
the cabinet council Senior Cap.lepon
minister of the interior. explained
the results of the elections. and
Senior Moret read q series of important
documents relative to the situation of the
reconcentrados in Cuba and the results Of
the efforts hitherto made for their relief
In view of these documents Senior Moret
proposed, ana the council approved. an open
credit of 100000 pesetas 70 be placed at the
disposition of General Blanco by cable to
be used in SuccOring neCesSitouS reConcen-
TRADES. and to facilitate means of work for
those willing to return to their homes, with
the supply of needful advances to enable
them to till the ground.
The documents read by Senior MOret tend
ed to show that the healthy reconCentrados
who We're DESTROYS OF working could tint
sufficient labor in the fields but that those
who had lost their implements or the small
capital necessary to sustain them for three
months while waiting for the product OF
their husDandry needed some kind of ad
rninistrative organization more complex
man the simple distribut on of fool by com
mission. This intention appeared also from
the fact that many heads of families had
.migrated seeking work in the towns Of
Mexico and leaving abandoned wives ana
children who remained without resources,
there being a large number of children whose
future must inspire the liVeliest sympathy.

May Have Sample Bottle Free.

We do not always realize how much
work our kidneys are required to do. They
are the great filters of the body, separating
the poison and waste material from the
blood. They work away day and night,
whether we sleep or are awake.
There is nothing more dangerous 10

NEGRO TROOPS ARE MOVING
Twentyfifth Regiment Ordered To
Proceed to Dry Tortugas.

The most warIike and important move
ment that has yet been made was the
issuance of orders yesterday for the
transfer OF the Twonty-fifth regiment Of
infantry to Dry Tortr2as, the island fort in
the gulf sixty miles from Havana
Negro soldiers compose this regiment en-
tireIy. WITH the exception Of the officers,
who are white. There are $50 negroes in
the regiment, all of them well trained to
the service ana some of them having had
experience in the Indian campaigns in the
west.
Atlanta will be the first stopping place Of
the negro regiment, after 1t leaves its
present station in Montana. The soldiers
will be here within the next few days and
after being here a short time VIII be sent
on to ST. Augustine, where rcgimcntal
headquarters will be established. Two
companies will be left there and the six
other companies will bc sent to the Dry
TortuEas.
That hostilities are expected by the gov
crnmcnt is certain. and Is proven by the
transfer of this regiment, which is by far
the most significant action yet taken. 1t
is said in Washington that the troops are
being sent south 50 that they Will be con-
vcnient should it be determined 20 land
forces in Cuba.
The negro soldiers are sent because thcy
are better able to stand the climate of the
gulf than the white soldiers 1t is said that
the war department intends to use negro
soldiers as far as is practicable in the
southern campaign. There are at present
2lSS negro soldiers in the army, and this
number will be increased by the addition
of volunteers. Recruits of ColOred soldiers
Will be sought and the colorcd branch of

Government Has Ordered All Vessels
Out of Foreign Waters at Once.
WON'T WAIT FOR HosT1L1TIEs
Sagasta Is Alive to the Gravity Of the
Situation, but Is Hopeful That
War May Be Averted.

Madrid, April 2.-From entirely re-
liable information it can be asserted
that the government has adopted meas
ures to mobilize, at any moment, the
available military forces of the coun-
try.
The newspapers announce that they have
periodically agreed to obey the expressed
desire of the government and publish moth
ing respecting the movements OF the army
or navy.
Spain will Immediately get out of
foreign water ALI the war ships she has
already purchased, lest an outbreak of
hostilities render it impossible.
She is adopting the same measures for
war material contracted for abroad Large
orders for coal to be used for the Cloan
service have been given.
The Spanish naval department has re-
ce!ved numerous overtures from the ma
tives and foreign mercantile marine to
prepare privateers.
Senior Sagasta is alive to the gravity of
the situation and seems inclined to believe
this bold front will deter the United States
from pushing its demand into war.
It is not doubted that the great
difficulty in the way of Spain making
such an offer is turbulent army Off
GERS who, it is generally admitted,
would endeavor to precipitate rev.
olution were an armistice offered at the
suggestion of the United States.
Curious misleading acts Of yesterdays
conference have been published. indicating
a long and impressive discussion. All that
bar
lister for the colonies, read the Spanish
note. General Stewart Il. Woodford, United
States minister without expressing an
opinion, promised to transmit ii to Wash
inGton and after the most friendly inter-
change of compliments the conference
ended.
The newspapers today are extremely
jubilant over the display of patriotism at
the opera house last evening, but II was to
d great extent manufactured enthusiasm.
All Office holders were expected to sub
scribe and did The same is true Of the
army officers.
In spite of the gloomy aspect prevailing
this morning the Associated Press CORE
spondent hears tonight that Spain may
ind a way out of the difficulty and grant
all President Mckinley has asked, though
in Il different form.
A diplomat friendly to both nations
made strong representations today to
an influential Spanish minister urging
Spain to accept Americas moderate
demands, which he approved and rep
resenting that if it was not done this
week it would be too late.
1t is further learned that these represen-
tatiOns had decided effect.
Much pressure has been brought to bear
the papal nuucio. urging him to ask
Spain to grant an armistiCe and al the
same time issue a rescriDt to the insur-
gents urging them faithful sons OF tho
church to accept. The plan IS likely to
succeed.
