PRIZE VESSELS CAPTURED.
Manner of Proceeding In the Distribution Of Prize Money An Incentive
 to Extra Effort.

WASHINGTON. April 25.-Secretary Long has received from Admiral Samp- son dispatches telling of the capture of several of the Spanish merchantmen, which are to be held as prizes and to be disposed of according to law, If the protest made against such seizures are held to be without ground.
 Judge-Advocate.G General Lemley, the law officer of the navy department. has been looking up the statutes on the subject and is prepared 10 assist the secretary in any way necessary. The law provides that the condemna- ton proceedings in the matter of prize vessels shall be conducted under the supervision of the district courts.
 1t is made the duty of the command ing officer of the vessel making a cap ture to secure the documents of the ship and cargo and send them, to- gether with certain witnesses from the captured vessel, to the district court in which the proceedings for the distribution of the prize money are to be had. The attorney for the United States is to promptly file libel against the prize property and take other proceedings necessary. The evidence is to be taken by prize commissioners, not ex- ceeding three in number, one of whom is to be a retired naval officer, and at least one of the others a member of the bar of the court of not less than three years standing, and acquainted ha tuiy Rf
 If the sale of the prize is ordered the gross proceeds are to be deposited with the assistant treasurer of the United States, at the place nearest to the sale subject to the order of the court
 The court is to make a deo-ee of dis tribution determining what vessels are to share in the prize, and whether the prize was of superior, equal or inferior force to the vessel or vessels making the capture. The net proceeds of all property condemned as prize shall when the prize was of superior or equal force to the vessel or vessels making the capture, be decreed to the cap tors. This provision was evidently put in the law with a view to cncour- aging vessel captains to exert their greatest effort when meeting foe of superior or of equal strength, as the same section of the law provides that when the pri ze vessel was of inferior force to tue captors, one-half of the net proceeds is to be decreed to the United States and the other half to the eaDtOrS. In cases where the amount in controversy exceeds S2,o0O appeals may be taken to the supreme court.

WILL LET THE CUBANS FIGHT.
Well Armed. Clothed and Fed, They Will be Expected to sIIold the Fort
 Till Reinforcements Arrive

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Secretary sherman said yesterday that it was his expectation that for the present and immediate future the insurgent army would do the greater part of the fight ing in Cuba He added the statement that there was no intention of taking the militiamen and new recruits into Cuba until thoroughly inured to hard ships of actual military life. and that probably the regulars also would be held in this country until later in the season.
 The secretary expressed the opinion that Admiral Simpsons fleet would take the first opportunity to form a junction with Gomez army and that there would thenceforth be perfect eo- operation between those two organi- zations in conducting the war against the common enemy.
 "The insurgents are the best men for these services at present, said the secretary, and they can be trusted to do Jealous work when well armed and well clothed" "
 He said it was his understanding that this government would furnish the arms and munitions to fit out the insurgents in good shape, and to put the entire Cuban army in good fighting trim.
 He would not discuss the report that he would resign from the cabinet shortly.

ARTISTIC DINNER GIVING.
The Ideal Dinner for a Small Com. pany Has Simple Menu and
 Perfect Service.

The ideal dinner-party is never large; six has been said to be the magic mum Der, but eight, and even ten are per fectly manageable, both in the matter of smooth service and in the higher harmonies. Do not confine your choice to intimate friends, but add to theil pleasure and your own the fresh ex, perience of meeting new spirits, whose congeniality you have divined
 A really artistic dinner, it is the writer's conviction that it should never exceed four courses-ineluding the coffee. The scheme of the dinner is that each dish shall be perfect; worthy oi the palate and of the appetite-en loved to the full of it's merits, and moi trifed with and instantly forgotten The second point in importance is thai a dish shall be as attractive in appear ance as it is perfect in flavor; that fl should be placed upon the table as ar added enjoyment. and hospitably served by host or hostess. The third point also of importance, is that q dinner should be seasonable-not an anticipa. tion of seasons-for every chosen article should be at it's very best \ lean. half-shriveled January tomato. which has iH-borne its travels, is but a for1orn apology for the plump and luscious summer produet-certainly not fitted for an artistic appearance.

GREAT BRITAIN'S ATTITUDE.
Brother John Would Stan by the United States Against European
 Coalition.

LONDON, April 23.-Should there be an attempt to form a European coaH tion against the United States during the conflict with Spain, Great Britain would quickly go to the aid of the United States. The fact was made known beyond dispute when the London correspondent of the Birming ham Post practically made this an nouneem ent.
 The Post is closer to the ministry than any other newspaper in Great Britain, and has upon previous oeca. siens semi-etiiciaIly announced the gov ernments intentions during pending crises. These announcements have al. ways been considered as having been inspired by the government. The core. spondent asserts that while the gov ernmentof Great Britain will announce its neutrality. it will not hesitate to assist the nited States should any at tempt be made by the European pow CTS to combine to eoeree her.
 Recognition of the spirit of the dec laration of Paris will be urged upon both the United States and Spain.

DOCTORS DON'T DENY IT.
The frank testimony of a famous physician.

afflicted with the rheumatism for three years, and had taken as she had informed me, more than one hundred dollars worth of medicine to obtain relief. yet without any beneficial result l advised her to try a bottle of Dr. Ayers Sarsaparilla and told her that f II failed to do her good, would refund the money. A short time after ward, l learned that il had cured her, and a neighbor of hers similarly afflicted was also entirely relieved of his complaint by its use. This is the universal result of the administration of your Sarsaparilla. It is without exception, the best blood puri- fer with which am acquainted"
 There is no other similar medicine can show a similar record. others have imi- tated the rem edy. They can't initiate the record. pr. Ayers Sarsaparilla has the friendship of the physician and the favor of the family, because it cures. It iulhlls all promises made for it. It has healed thousands of people Of the most malignant diseases that can mutilate mankind. Nothing has ever sHpe rceded it and noth- ing ever will until a medicine is made that can show record of cures greater in number and equal i'll wonder to those wrought by pr Ayers Satsaparilla. pr Ayers Curebook, story of cures told by the cured, is sent free on request by the ].

WASHINGTON, April 23. - The Post says:
 There is every reason to believe that Secretary sherman will resign from the eal6aet within the next few days. It is felt by the friends of the secretary that the present crisis is toe severe tax upon his failing strength, and for this reason he will retire to pri- vate life. His successor will be Assis- tant Secretary Day in all probability. but it can be stated that Judge Day has no desire to remain in public life

Picking Out n Husband.

A contemporary gives the following advice to it's fair readers: For mans birth, look to his linen and finger nails, and observe the infections of his voice. For his tastes, study the color of his ties, the pattern and hang of his trous. CTS, his friends and his rings-if any For his propensities, walk round and look carefully at the back of his head. A symmetrical cerrebellum, with well. trimmed hair, is an indication of self. control and energy If you want a sue. cessful man, see that he has neat foot; 1; he will move quicker, get over obstacles faster, than man who falls over his own toes and trips up other folks with 'em, teo. For his breeding, talk senti. ment to him when he is starving and ask him to carry g bandbox down the public street when you've just had a TOW. To test his temper, tell him his nose is a little on one side and you don't like the way his hair grows. There are other ways which will suggest them. selves naturally to a bsght woman.- N. Y.

MUST TAKE THE HAWAIIANS.
The Imm edliate Seizure Of the Pacific Is- lands Urged Justliiable
 Military Necessity.

WASHINGTON. April 23=Members oi the senate foreign relations commit tee are generally without information as to plans of the administration in Hawaii, but some of them indorse the idea of securing the Pacific islands by seizure at this time in view of their strategic importance. Senator Davis. chairman of the committee, is among those who held this view. He said yesterday that he considered tha6 ths United States would be entirely justi- fled in taking the islands ill case of war as war measure
 They would, he said. be neees- sary for our own defense and We would be justified in their seizure at such time, to prevent their falling into the hands ot our enemies, to whom they would be invaluable. What k to pre- vent Spain.s sending cruiser to Homo. lulu and seizing the country, together with our property interests there, in- eIuding our coal, of which under stood we have quite a supply in the islands?
 Furthermore, there are in Hawaii many American citizens whose inter- ests it is necessary we should protect.
 For these andother reasons l should indorse the taking possession of the islands by the United States in time of war with another country into whose hands they might fall. We, of course, know that the Hawaiian is friendly to annexa- ton, so requirement by this means would not be so violent proceeding as it might under other circumstances :
 IL is held that in ease possession was acquired in this way there would be nc necessity for conhrmatory action by
