Government Lands Sold.

The report of James Hill, Re
gister of the United States Land
Office. has been filed with the de-
partment at Washington. 1t
Shows the amount of business
transacted in the land Office from
July. 1897, to July, 1898. Nearly
100. 900 acres of government land
has been disposed of during the
past year at the established price
of sl.25 per acre. This ha. been
about the average number of acres
sold each. year for the past SIX
wears. The sales will not vary
1000 acres during the fiscal per-
iod. -.
The government lands in Mis-
sissipppi are being sold very rapid
" and in the next four or i've
wears there will be none left. Only
384 900 acres yet remain, the ma
ior portion of which is located In
| lhe southwestern portion of the
state.
During the months of August
and September the business OF
the land Office is very small. Most
of the sales are made to people
with limited means and during the
next two months they will have
no money with which to purchase

FROM WASHINGTON.

In the history of the Cuban question
the Goth was day of events. The sign
ing by the president of the joint res
olution requiring Intervention in Cuba,
the notification of that action to the
Spanish minister in Washington, his de-
mGnd for passports, the departments
prompt reply to that demand, the de-
parture of the Spanish minister and the
transmission of our ultimatum that
Spain must evacuate Cuba and must
make answer by midnight of the 23d
through Minister Woodford, followed
in rapid succession. The next step is
SPANS answer, if she is to make any,
and the movement of the United States
army and navy on Cuba.
Our government has purchased the
steamers Umbria and the Etruria, of
the Cunard line.
Between the United States and Spain
war is n fact, though not yet officially
declared so by congress. Minister Wood
ford in Madrid was not allowed to pre-
sent President McKinley's ultimatum
but instead was given his passports
responsibility for the war upon Spain

At the state department proclama-
ton has been prepared announcing the

news from Capt. Sampson of the ar
rival of the fleet off Havana harbor.
This proclamation will contain the as

FOREIGN INTElLloENcE.

Ex-President Crespo of Venezuela
was said to have been killed in battle
with Hernandez, the leader OF the rebel
forces.
Supporters in England of Don Carlos
the Spanish pretender, are actively pre-
pairing for an emergency. They say
that the present Spanish dynasty is
doomed.
In opening the Spanish cortes the
queen regent in her speech blamed the
United States for existing condi.
tions and appealed to the patriotism OF
her people. The war spirit seems strong
in Spain.
The Spanish fleet, which has been
modifying at Cape Verde islands for
some days past, sailed for an un'
| known destination.
Fire destroyed the famous Baptist
tabernacle in London erected by the
late Charles II. Sturgeon.
In South Africa prominent Americans
have offered to raise 1000 men and tc
pay their transportation to any desti-
nation the American government may
designate.
The Spanish, il is said, will never
leave the city OF Havana standing il
they are compelled to evacuate Cuba.
The entire city is undermined, and
there has been no effort to conceal this
fact in the Cuban capital.
Dispatches from San Juan, Puerto
Rico, say that revolution has broken
out there, and that there is rioting all
over the island
Gen. Blanco has issued an appeal TO
the inhabitants of Cuba to fight for the
honor of Spain. The manifesto scores
the United States and hurls defiance.

to warlike use, such as church service and
musical instruments, household wares and
goods and other such like articles. and in
Guiding many that are purely mercantile
In character.
No article of merchandise is contraband
unless transported beyond the territorial
nor unless destined for an enemy port or
the high seas, which belligerent ships are
and Contraband of war.
No final and exhaustive definition of con-
traband articles can lie given. They are
changing with the progress Of Inventions
Some articles were formerly contraband
which now are not: and the converse is
true. Each belligerent government is COM
petent to determine what it will treat as
contra band. Its prescription of contrahand
articles is conclusive. If such prescription
should be made in outrageous disregard of
international law or of treaty rights, neu-
trail states affected would probably inter
pose Neither belligerent can treat goods
as contraband in violation OF his treaty
stipHlations with a neutral power as re-
CARDS the subjects of that power. Anyone
desiring to ship goods to a foreign port in
neutral vessels would profitably consult
any existing treaties between Spain and the
government of that port.
London, April 23.-Spain, it is semi
officially announced, has declined to act
in conformity with the declaration OF
Paris respecting neutral vessels and
neutral goods.

City'a EunIA Missing.

San Francisco, April 21.-Augustus C.
Widber, treasurer of the city and coun-
ty of San Francisco, is accused of hav-
ing embezzled $4,000 of the municipal
funds. The suspicion of other civic of
ficials that something was amiss in the
treasury department was aroused Tues
day night, and Wednesday Mayor Phe-
Ian and Auditor Broderick began an
investigation, which resulted in some
startling discoveries. The sealed bags
of gold in the city treasurer's vault had
been surreptitiously opened. Care had
been taken not to break the seals, but
the string had been deftly cut and gold
extracted and silver inserted, to leave
the weight of the bags unchanged.
Then the coin sacks had been fastened
and the several ends of the string cor.
cealed in the natural folds of the can.
vas bags.
