WORD FROM W0ODFORD.
But II Is In Cypher and Officials Refuse TO
DivuIge Its Contents.

Washington. Feb. 1.-THE 800 word
cipher dispatch received from Minister
Woodford. Saturday night. was trans
lated at the state department, today
but no intimation Of its import could
be secured from official sources. AS
sictant Secretary of State Day. who
has been intrusted With the whole cor
respondence by the President. refuse |
to discuss the message. He said mere
ly that there was no developments u
in the case which properly could he
made public at this time. In one in
stance he supplemented this statement
by the remark that the mere fact of in
formation being withheld was not to be
taken as a serious indication.
Every effort to supplement- Secretary
Days statement with some Informal
ton from the White House failed. To
urgent appeals for something definite,
the President replied through Secretary
Porter that the whole matter was in
Secretary Days hands and that the
President relied on him to handle the
Information for the press.
1t was stated at the White House
however, that there was no truth in the
rumor OF a censurc upon Minister
Woodford FOR allowing Deputy De
LONE to forcstall him in presenting the
application for the minister's recall.
Minister Woudlord'S course, il was
stated had been entirely satisfactory
and any criticism at this time was UNI
founded and unfair
1t could not he aScertained positively
whether or not an answer to Minister
WOodford'S last dispatch has been sent
1t is almost certain. however that a re-
ply has been drafted and that ii was put
in cipher at tine state department, this
evening. Mr. Sidney Y. Smith, chief Of
the diplomatic bureau, was ut the depart
mcnt till after o'clock. Special orders
had been issued also to allow no one in
tn" building without pass.
Th" Duke D'ArcuS. mentioned in Mad
rid dispatches as a possible successor to
Dupuy De Lone has been the guest of
Rev. Or. ana Mrs lIackcy- Smith of this
city. during the past week. With him is
the Duchess - ARGOS. formerly Miss Nir-
ginia Lowcry of Washington. The duke
was ambassador to Mexico and is stop
ping i'll Washington. On route 10 Spain.
During the week he has been enter

INSPECTING CARS.
Small Defects Liable TO Cause Trouble.

4 man inspecting freight cars
crawled under each car and scrambled
! about looking at or feeling of each nut,
bolt. brake beam and rod, journal,
boxing, draw-bar, etc. etc. until every
part OF the car had been gone over.
If nuts were missing bolts about to
drop out, brakerods dragging the
ground brake beams cracked, or any
defect appeared in the running or i'm
portant part. the car was chalked and
the car number reported at the shops.
Experience has taught the expensive
folly of letting little defects remain
uncorrected on engines or cars. until
in time of need the cracked brake beam
refuses to hold. or the nutless bolt
drops out of place, and smash-up is
the result.
If inanimate ears and engines are
worth such care. why not the beautiful
machinery Of the human body? If you
find daily aches or ails. be quite sure
it is natures cry for relief from some
insult You have been guilty Of. Per-
haps you put coffee into your stomach
day by day.
Never thought that was any harm
Perhaps it isn't to some thoroughly
healthy men, but it hits a great num-
her hard. and some very hard. before
they know where the bangs come
from. Ten to thirty days without
coffee will tell you whether you are
susceptible to its alkaloids or not
The trial startles people who know il
never hurt me-"
If one keeps on with the use of a
thing that his mother nature objects
to, there is sure to be a smash-up some
day. and business. property, health,
comfort and happiness may be lost
before the wreck is cleared up. 1t is
easy to change to Postum Food
Coffee. a powerful liquid food. which
when thoroughly boiled looks like
Mocha, and has delicious Java-like
flavor while the so odd per cent o:
selected food elements go quickly to
work to rebuild the lost phosphates
and other necessares OF the BRAN and
complex nervous system.

Debated for Over an Hour and
Defeated by Majority
of Fourteen.

WASHINGTON, April 26. - Congress
has formally declared war to exist be.
tween the United States and Spain and
the bill has been signed by the presi-
dent. The house Of representatives
passed the bill in manner which can.
not fail to impress the world. The
representatives of 70,OO0,0O0 people
voted for it without roll call, but
with solemn appreciation of the grav-
ity of their momentous action. It re.
quired but one minute and forty sec.
onds to accomplish this. The house
was considering an election case aud
simply paused to declare war. There
was no excitement, no cavil, no word or
question. It was only in the great
cheer that went up from floor and gal
leries, when Speaker Reed announced
it's passage, that the tremendous import
of the act and the suppressed enthusi-
asm behind it was shown. After the
presidents message was read the COM
mittee on foreign affairs framed the
resolution, Acting Chairman Adams
wrote the report and it was passed and
on it's way to the senate in an hour and
six minutes.
