The Florence tribune., 1898-04-30

REV. I. T. WHrTTEMoRE returned from Washington last Monday. He expresses confidence that the $20, 900 appropriation for preliminary work on the Buttes reservoir will pass with the Indian appropriation bill, though the matter has been shelved temporarily ou account of the emergencies of the war with Spain. The people of Pinal county are glad to welcome Mir. Whit temore home; they are satisfied he did all in his power to accomplish his mis- sion.
The Florence tribune., 1898-04-30

THE TRIBUNE refuses to believe that the Mexican people, who so patrioti- cally celebrate the 18th of September in memory of their independence from Spain, can harbor anything but warm sympathy for the Cubans who are now also seeking to throw of the Spanish yoke. And if they can bear .animosity towards the United States for upholding a principle in which every republic in the Western hemi- sphere is vitally interested, they must be strange people.
The Florence tribune., 1898-04-30

THE TRIBUNE don't propose to argue the question as to whether the United States is right or wrong in the present controversy with Spain. The question has gone beyond argument, and it doesn't make the slighest difference. If your Uncle Samuel were a hundred times wrong 1t is the duty of every American to uphold him. The TRIBUNE wouldn't give tinker's cuss for man who wouldn't be loyal to friend even when wrong, for one who is always right does not so much feel the needs of friendship. But this is not for 8 moment admitting that Uncle Sam was ever anything else than right. That fine old gentleman never made a mistake in his life.
The Florence tribune., 1898-04-30

THE better class of our Mexican population is loyal to the United States government in the present con- fiict. It is only the disreputable or ig- norant who side with Spain, and all such will be given an opportunity to emigrate. A meeting was held in Phoenix Wednesday night which was largely attended by the respectable part of the Mexican population. The following resolutions were unanimous ly adopted;
 Resolved By the Mexican-American citizens of Phoenix, Arizona, in mass meeting assembled, that we heartily endorse the action of the President and Congress of the United States in de- claring that Spanish rule in the island Of Cuba must end and further
 Resolved, That we as citizens of the United States pledge our lives and sacred honor to the cause of the Ameri- can government and pledge our ser vices in any manner that may be called for in upholding the national honor in support of the government and dag of the United States.

 The notice sent to Portugal that it must compel the Spanish fleet to leave Cape Verde or else acknowledge its friendliness to Spain, WAS in the nature of an ultimatum. A reply was de- handed to-day.
 At l0:45 o'clock this morning Assist ant Secretary of State Adee said:
 ''We have received official notice from Portugal that as soon as the United States promulgated declara- ton of war, she would notify the spanish fleet, now at Cape Verde Islands, to leave within within forty eight hours, or to remnin until the end of hostilities.

MARLIKE MuSTACHES.

The BARRIERS of New York have no.
ticed a decided change in the matter
of mustaches since the war fever has
been in the air. Hitherto. the fashion
has been for small, well trained mus
taches, but now, it is stated, every
man who can grow heavy, ferocious,
military looking mustache, is doing
so, and all sorts of devices are being
resorted to to give as much as posi-
bic the appearance of what Colman
in a particular case once described as
'shoe brush stuck beneath the nose".
A similar effect was noticed in Ger
many just before and during the
FrancO-German war, and evidences
of the same feeling have been noticed
in other countries, and even in some
of our own regiments.-London Even

SWEARING PROHIBITED

The regulations of both army and
navy forbid profanity, and any sol
dior or sailor who objects to being
sworn at by his superior officer may
make complaint, thereby subjecting
the offending officer to trial by court
martial. Yet we have reason to be-
lieve that such men as Washington,
Farragut and Grant could swear and
did swear upon occasions, and histo-
ry furnishes no record of their hav-
ing been court martialed on that ac-
