A Fog DispeIIer.

The latest invention is a fog-dls-
peicr. The apparatus consists Of a
horizontal outlook-pipe eight feet In
length and eight inches In diameter. At
the mouth Of the tube is a wide flange;
The rear end is covered with a thick
disc OF glass. About two feet from the
ear end a pipe enters the tube from
below, at an obtuse angle with the for
ward section. This connection Is made
through a sort of turntaDle. which per-
mits the outlook tube to be pointed in
any direction desired, up or down.

When the dispeller is in use. the
blower sends a powerful stream Of air

The action OF the suspended moisture

THE LONDON TIMES.
1t Adyices Spain to Meet the Inevitable
and Give Up Cuba.

London. March 31.--The Times says
editorially this morning.
1T is evident peace and war hang in
the balance, and that the world has
not long to wait for definite informa-
ton. 1T cannot be supposed that -Ameri-
cas- terms have yet been published in
their completeness. but they may be
guessed to include complete freedom fol
Cuba.
The Spanish government will make
a fatal mistake if it fails to understand
the terms now offered. which are the
best it is ever likely to obtain, and il
they are not promptly accepted it is to
be feared that the next presentation
of American demands will be in a harsh
err shape With every sympathy for
Spain, her government and dynasty, il
must be said that the government OF
Cuba has been scandal which would
have been resented even by other ma
tons, if they had been in as close proxi-
nifty as the United States.
1T behooves Spain to consider wheth-
er Cuba is worth fighting for in such an
unequal conflict. that it is even doubtful
if Spain would gain a temporary success
while her ultimate defeat would be GER
tain. A moderate naval force could re-
duce the island by starvation, and
privateering could not be carried TO any
extent worth mentioning by Spain with
out calling for the intervention Of neu-
trail nations

Washington. ID. c., March 31.-Spain's
official reply to President Mckinley s

An anxious party, comprising most OF

evening in expectation Of developments.
About half past 10 the message began

Among those at the White House
were Senator Hanna, Secretary Alger,
Secretary Bliss, Assistant Secretary Of
State Day, who dned with the Presi-
dent Assistant Secretary Of State Adee,
to whom was confded the translation of
the message; Senator Spooner and Sen
ator Aldrich. There was an intensely
expectant crowd of newspaper cores
pondemts, larger than often gathers at
the White House at night, waiting in
the lobby outside the Presidents office
Rut they were destined to disappOint-
ment. for after the telegraph instrument
in the adjoining office had steadily clat-
tered for half an hour, Mr.. Porter, the
Presidents Secretary, appeared with the
announcement from Secretary Day that
it was impossible to translate the mes
sage in time to give out any statement

still clicking when the correspondents
filed out, indicating that the message
was at least quite lengthy

THE CRISIS SEEMS NEAR.
The Washington Post Outlines the Pro
bable Course Of the President, Betok
ening early Conflict.


Washington, d. c.. March 31.-Speak-
ing of SPANS reply received tonight the
Post tomorrow will say:
1T is =not what the President, hoping
for the Chest, had expected. 1t is, at
most, az vague and unsatisfactory note
from Minister WoodfOrd, devoting more
space TO his impressions of what the
Spanisll government will and will not do
than Formal expression from the Span
ish ministry of its own position.
Spain does not accede to the Ameri-
can demands. Neither does she posi-
lively and finally reject them. The ques-
ton is sstill left open for future negOtia-
tions. According to the traditional pol
icy of Spanish diplomacy more delay rs
requested and much evasion is NANTES
ted. One of the reasons for asking
furthef time is the fact that the min
istry cannot act without the ratification
Of the Cortes, which is not now in SEES
SION. Counter propositions are also sug-
gested, rather than plainly stated, which
look TO the side-tracking of the main is
sue, Which is the immediate and com
plete independence of the island of Cuba.
1T =is now Il question with the Presi-
ueHI $NuelHeT he Will continue 10 treat
with Spain further along the lines sug-
gested in the dispatch and grant the adj
ditional time which is requested.
No message will be sent to Congress
Tomorrow The reply of the Spanish
government will be considered at the
meeting of the Cabinet tomorrow morn
ing and then it will be decided whether
an ultimatum will be sent to Spain.
'UIp to this time. no ultimatum, in the
diplomatic sense of the word, has been
forwarded. If sent, it will mean that
Spain must within twenty-fow hours
answer specifically as to the demands
made by the United States. In the
event of failure to answer or a positive
