waged in the island of Cuba for the
past four years has been conducted by
the Spanish government in Violation
of the rules of civilized warfare;
said government has driven the
unarmed and peaceable inhabitants
from their homes anu AOICeu them
within the armed camps, where it has
permitted hundreds of thousands Of
men, women and children to die of
starvation; and as a result of this sys-

thousands of helpless people are now
dying for want of food; and.
Whereas, The war has paralyzed and

REBELS IN THE HOUSE.
War Party in Congress Effects an
Organization.

Washington, March 3O.-The revolt in
the house against further delay of act
ion on the Cuban issue eliminated yes
terday in a conference of Republican
members whose ideas are in accordance
with a positive early course.
About 80 representatives attended,
representing all sections. Representa-
tive Hopkins Qll.), a member of the
ways and means committee, presided.
Representative Joy (Mo) was secreta-
~.
The meeting was called to take steps
to secure immediate intervention in
some form and the recognition of Gu
ban independence. It was the first def
mite step toward this since the presi-
dents message was submitted.
The meeting was called with a. view
to accomplishing the unqualified re-
moval of the Spanish troops from Cuba
and prompt armed intervention in the
affairs of that island. Late in the after
noon the word was QS-9etly passed
around, but many who are enthusiast
tically in favor of intervention, failed
of notification, though the number pres
ent would be sufficiently large, by con-
solidation with the. Democratic forces,
to carry out a programme.
Representative Hopkins, as chairman,
briefly stated the objects of the meet

HELDAT KEY WEST
Provisions For the Starving In
habitants of Cuba
Have Been Lying for Two Weeks
in the Florida Port
AWAITING TRANSPORT
Authorities Are Unable to Pro
cure Ships.
Provisions Rot, People StarVe
Through Red Tape.

Key West, March 3O.-Provisions for
the Cubans, which arrived here two
weeks ago still lie useless in the naval
station for want of authority to ship
them to Cuba. The authorities today
asked permission to use the survey boat
Bache for this purpose, but no answer
has yet been received. The provisions
do not improve with the delay. and ac-
cording to reports, the CUbans continue
to starve.
The original programme was to send
this shipment by the Fern, but the ar
engagements were broken by the sudden
call of that vessel to Havana.
The torpedo boats last night made
mimic attack upon the flagship and the
battleship Indiana, the largest number
of such boats ever employed in the Uni
ted States navy in an evolution Of this
kind participating.

Whereas, The existence and prolonga-
ton of the hostilities have imposed
heavy financial expenditures and bur-
densome official labOrS upon the gov
eminent of the United States in the
enforcement of it's neutrality laws, and
Whereas, The cOnsuIs of the United
States and other impartial and cOmpe-
tent observers have reported that the
Spanish government has lost control of
much the greater portion of the island;
that it is poWerleSS to restore its au-
thority and bring about peace; and that
a continuance of the contest will have
no other effect than to increase the hOr-
rOrS, misery and starvation which now
exists, to extinguish the commerce
with and destroy the property of Amer
lean citizens and add to the expense
and burdens of the government of the
United States; therefore,
Resolved, By the senate and house of
representatives of the United States of
America in congress assembled, that
the president of the United States be,
and he is hereby directed and empOW-
cred to take such effective steps as, in
his discretion may be necessary to Sc
cure a speedy termination of the hos
tilities between the government of
drawal of the military and naval forces
of Spain from said island, and the COM
plete independence of said people.
The following was introduced by Sen
atOr Rawlins:
Whereas, The war waged by the
kingdom of Spain against the people of
cuba has destroyed the commerce be-
tween them and the United States and
it's revival will be impossible so long as
such war may continue and,
Whereas, By the authority of that
kingdom, in the course of such war
much American property has been de-
stroyed and many Americans without

Cured by
Dr.. Miles NerVine.

1t is not the food we swallow, but
the food that is digested that produces
flesh and blood and strong nerves. A
dyspeptic stomach cannot transform the
most wholesome food into nutritive ele-
ments, but acids and poisonous gases
are formed, and the brain and nerves
thus get poisons instead of food. Dys-
peptics, and nervous, sickly persons,
ought to learn how closely their debil-
tiles, aches and pains depend on their
general run down condition, and that
the sensible. lasting cure can only come
from building up the general health. DR..

directly on the nervous system, which
controls all the processes of the body,

Mr. Geo. c. Peterson, LaHarpe, Ill,
writes about Dr. Miles Nervine as fol-

The general addressed an audience of

by saying that war is unnecessary; that
there is no reason for it, and he did not
believe there would be any war.

That Useful Organ, Doing Well

San Francisco, March 3O.-Mrs Mag
gini whose stomach was eviscerated
month ago, does not seem to miss what
has always been considered very nee

gaining weight steadily since she part
ed company with her stomach and is on
the road to recovery from one of the
most wonderful and daring surgical op-
erations ever performed
Mrs. Maggini will not be out of dan
ger, however, until she gets rid of the
little silver button which was used to
fasten the intestines to the esophagus
when the stomach was removed. and
until that sloughs away she will be in
some danger.
