reiterated expressions OF coincidence from
her Majesty, the Queen from her Govern

incton, and from the authorities in Ha-
vana, all of which tended to affirm the
horror which this disaster had caused TO
arise in Spanish hearts. as also the sym

Nation. The Spanish Minister feels conf

and sense of justice of the United States
Government to enlighten public opinion
upon this subject.

condition, it resolves itself into n question
Of facts, which can only be settled by ma
tefal proofs. The Spanish Minister re-
iterates the assurance that his Govern
ment is ready TO submit the question to
experts designated by the maritime powers,
whose conclusions are in advance ac-
cepted.
The Minister said that hostilities had
already been stopped in Cuba, and the
Spanish troops ordered into garrison,
where they would remain unless molested
by the insurgents.

afflicts the island
As 10 tie question of the recognition of
Cuban indepeI Idence, he reviews the case
of Texas, as precedent, and says:
NOT TO RECOGNIZE INDEPENDENCE
Prom the standpoint of expedience do
not tilink 1T would be wise or prudent for
this Government to recognize at the pres
ent time The independence Of the so-called
Cuban Republic. Such recognition Is not
necesS aTy in order TO enable the United
States To intervene and pacify the island
To commit this country now 10 the recog-
milton Of any particular Government in
Cuba might subject us to embarrassing
conditions of international obligation to-
ward the organization SO recognized. In
case of intervention our conduct would be
subject 10 the approval or disapproval of
such Government; We would Ee required TO
submit to It's direction and TO assume 10 1t

When il shall appear hereafter that there
Is within the island a Government CAPABLE
of performing the duties and discharging
the functions OF a separate nation, and
having, as a matter of fact, the proper
forms and attributes Of nationality, such
Government can he promptly and readily
recognized, ard the relations ard inter
ests of the United States with such nation
adjusted.
There remain the alternative ferns of in
tervention-to end The war, either as an i'm
partial neutral by imposing a rational COM
promise between the contestants, or as the
active ally OF the one party or the other.
AS TO the first, it is not to be forgotten
that during the last few months the rela-
ton OF the United States has virtually
been enc of friendly intervention in many
ways, each not of itself conclusive, but all
tending to- the, ezeriion of a potential in

ator Chandler, and to this question Senator
Davis gave an affirmative response.
This satisfied the Senators, the Executive
session ended, and the Senate adjourned.
The news was communicated to mem
bers of the House privately by the members
of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and
accepted as sufficient reason for delaying
action.
PLENTY OF MONEY FOR WAR.
Leading financiers of New York have as
Stlred the President that the institutions of
that city stand ready to furnish the Gov
ernment with $500 900 900 if needed, and
that this amount may be raised to $780,
coo, eco without any special q fliculty.
The confirmed believers in peace took
heart from the postponement OF the PTeSi-
dents Message to hope that something
would yet develop to avert war.
The news from Madrid on Wednesday
was that Senior Sagasta had renewed hopes
of a peaceful settlement, and that the
Queen Regent would proclaim an armistice
to the insurgents, which would open the
way for this. The Americans in Habana,
who had heard the Cry Of "wolf y so often
that they had begun to despise it, recog-
niZed the gravity of the situation on We'd

Hou to Tell if We Have Kidney,
Bladder or Uric Heid Trouble.
Every Reader Of The National Tribune who wishes Prove the
Wonderful Merits Of this Great Discovery. Swamp>Rco
May have Sample Bottle Free by Mail.

We do not always realize how much work
our kidneys are required to 60. 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 to health
and strength than any arrangement of the
kidneys.
A fact often overlooked is that women suf-
fer as much from kidney and Bladder trouble
as the men do.
1t is easy to tell if we have kidney trouble
by observing few of the more common
symptoms.
If you find it difficult to hold your water,
or necessary to pass it frequently, or are
Obliged to rise often during the night, your
kidneys are out of order.
As they reach more unhealthy stage,
scading and irritation takes place as the
water flows, and pain or dull ache in the
back makes you miserable. If your water,
when allowed to remain undisturbed for
twenty-four hours, forms 4 settling or sed
ment, you are on dangerous ground due to
most serious kidney or bladder disorder.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In the Sum.
mer of 1862 we were stationed at Cumberland
Gap. Bragg fanked around us, entered
Kentucky by way of Big Creek Gap, and cut
the supplies that came to Us by way of Lex
ington.
The force at the Gap consisted of Gen.
George Morgan's Division, cavalry. infantry,
and artillery, about II, 900 men. 1t required
quite lot of forage for our subsistence and
visits to our sister State, Tennessee.
Our brigade, the commanding officer being
j. +. DeCOursey, was sent out to see what we
could find We went into Tennessee as far
as town called Tazewell. Here we stayed a
few days, gathering up contrabands and
forage We were camped near town. One
day the 22d Ky. went out on picket, as it was
customary to throw one regiment out in front
mile or more to watch for the Johnnies,
who we had good reasons to believe were on
their way from Knoxville.
The day we were out passed away and
nothing disturbed our picket-post that night.
However, Fosters cannon, which was with US
fired every half hour until midnight, and after
midnight every hour until day; but / am
here to say alter midnight paid no attention
to the shots, although L slept near the rihed
Parrott that was shooting in direction of
Clinch Mountain.
Daylight came. The 10th Ohio relieved US,
but while the 10th Ohio and Fosters battery
were out the rebels put in an appearance.
The rebels came up SO quietly that the 10th
was somewhat astOnished. Fosters battery
did not have time to fire much before they
had to timber up and beat hasty retreat on
the reserve. The 10th Ohio covered the re-
treat, keeping the rebels back until they re-
joined the brigade at TaZewell.
The ball had now opened, and it looked to
us as if the whole Coniederacy was making
for Kentucky and running over us. De
COursey saw at once the situation. He rode
up to Col. Monroe, commanding our regi-
ment. gave him some instructions, and di-
rected Capt. Foster, who was near, to open
fire on the rebS as soon as the 10th Ohio and
18th Ky. were clear OF his guns.
Pretty soon the rest of Fosters battery,
which had been on picket duty with the 10th,
reoined Fosters command. Foster opened
with such fire that he somewhat checked
the Johnnies furious shelling lasted the
rest of the day. The news soon went back
to the Gap, Is miles away, that we were en-
gagged. Gen. Morgan set out for Tazewell,
coming up at a late hour. He at once saw that
we were about to be surrounded. But we
made good our retreat. Thirsty and loot
sore we arrived at our camping-ground ut
late hour.-A. j. JACOBS, Co. d, 22d Ky,
