Since<April came in we have had but
little settled weather, and as q conse

looking unusually we'll though the
freezes of last week and the week be

which they seem to have passed, with
but little, if any, injury. 1t was
thought that all of our apples and
peaches were killed, but we find they
are not, and il we have no more frost
our prospects are favorable for a fairly
good crop of fruit. All of our people
up here are deeply concerned about
the Cuban troubles, and the rainy, I'M

portunities of sitting by our fires and

VIC don't want war if the troubles
can be adjusted properly and honor
ably by other means; but if var must
come there are hundreds of our noun
tain people, who remember the hard
ships of camp life and the dangers of
the battle field, but are ready to go to
the front in defense Of their country.

Washington, April 20-Every person
most familiar with the routine at the
White House would not have supposed
this morning that anything of an unusu-
al character was on the tapis.

hour, and at 10 o'clock came into his
office, where he was joined by Secretary
Bliss. The president looked very we'll
indeed, and ss ne walked up and down
the cabinet room for little exercise,
smoking his cigar and with bright RED
carnation in his button hole. seemed In
vigorous health and In the full enjoy
ment Of life. His CHEEKY greeting to SEQ
retsry Bliss as he entered the room con j.
firmed the impression that the strain Of
the last few months had not made anv
observable inroads upon his health or
spirits.
At 10 O'Clock 1t was announced at the
White House that neither the Cuban reso.
luton nor the ultimatu,n TO Spain had
yet received the presidential signature.
The ultimatum was in progress by AS
sistant Sscretsry Day.
