THE MOVEMENT ON CUBA.

Expected It Will Commence the Latter
Part of the Week.
WASHINGTON. April 2O.-The ultima
tum to Spain, as demanded by the
resolution adopted by congress, will
give that country "a hours in which to
reply. Compliance is not expected and

commence the latter part of this week,
according to the plans of the admins
tration.
Two cabinet meetings were held dur
ing the day, the first beginning at IL
and lasting nearly two hours, and the
second lasting from until $3.50 o'clock.
Both cabinet sessions were devoted
principally to discussion of the ultima
tum to be sent to Madrid. At the
morning session the president rather

appearances certainly looked dark once
had an amusing experience of unjust

day and was unfortunate enough to
have her umbrella turned inside ont.
Her two sisters were equally unlucky,

Promising to call for them before she

went about her business part of which
was to do some shopping in large city
establishment. On rising to leave the
shop she mechanically pnt out her hand
to take possession of an umbrella that
was close by It looked like her own,
and for the moment she had forgotten
the accident. She was soon brought to
her senses
THAT is my umbrella, - said a sharp
voice at her side, and hand was laid
on her arm to detain her.
Apologizing for her thoughtlessness,
she left the shop, did the rest of her

then the burden she carried. "Three of

and it was evident that she referred to
the umbrellas. "Threel She's din no

AS she spoke she grasped her own
umbrella tightly and moved farther
away from the dangerous young lady.

latter. The speaker was her friend Of

Writing of the eccentricities of Herr
Strauss, the dance music composer, a
Vienna writer says he is as nervous as a
composer as he is director. Clad in a
velvet costume, with patent leather boots
reaching to his knees, his eyes afiame
and in fit of inspiration, he goes strid-
ing through the house like maniac. If
inspiration does not come to him in the
salon, he clutches his papers and goes
to his bedroom or to his wife's boudoir
Sometimes the waltz begun in the PAL
lor is finished in the kitchen. Nine
Strauss, who appreciates and under
stands her husbands habits, has half a
dozen pianos scattered through the
house, and in each room table with
writing materials, so that in whatever
nook her husband finds himself he is
quite at home. Nine. Strauss was once
a favorite actress on the Vienna stage.
