THE CowARDLY GOVERNMENT,
An Arraignment of the Madrid Minis.
 ters by the Newspapers.

Madrid, April 14.-The whole town IS very warlike. The Pals in big head lines on it's front page announces Tn fanny Disclosed At Last, Shame on the Cuban Volunteers" and says: "As the government imposed silence upon us we will speak in the dumb lan- guage." Accordingly the first page of the Pais contains the headsigns read ing Death to Traitors In it's lead ing article the Pals asks whether the government is preparing another farce by the warlike attitude of the council last night"
 Continuing, the Pals charges the government with having arranged the " armistice' with the powers prior to the United States demanding it, the powers promising in return the safety of the throne should the loss of Cuba lead to a national uprising"
 The Pais remarks: "The message completes Spain's shame and unless it is resented by the ministers, the Amer jeans, being towards, will bully in pro portion while their opponent hu- initiates himself. But Mckinley is mistaken in thinking that he knows Spain because he knows her ministers, and the error will cost him dear"
 A dispatch from Havana to the Pais says the Cuban volunteers intend pro- testing against the armistice, and ac- cuses President Mckinley of being in league with the "separatist junta,' add ing: While the facts have been dis covered against Lee in connection with the Maine explosion which the Span ish government is afraid to publish. D
 The Correo Espanol says: General Woodford ought to have received his passports on the receipt of McKinleys message, but the cowardly govern ment only dares to use force against patriots crying 'Vive Espano.''

SPAIN WILL REFUSE.
NAVY WANTS MORE SHIPS.
American Liners High-Priced for Pur-
 chase or Charter

New York April 13.-The members of the Board of Auxiliary Cruisers spent yesterday writing reports. which were sent to the secretary of the navy last night. This morning the inspect ion of vessels will begin again. Lieu tenant Commander Reeder, with Chief Engineer Dixon and Naval Constructor Towresey, will go to Hunters Point to inspect the Irrawaddy, owned by |. H. Stevens, which arrived from Port ar Spain yesterday. She is to be inspect ed with the view to recommending her for a collier. The vessel is Of i1on, with single screw, is 325 feet long 3s feet broad, and has displacement G,f 2,554 tons.
 On Saturday some of the board w1A go to Philadelphia to inspect the steam pilot boat Philadelphia and the Inter national Navigation Company's freight steamer Illinois.

 It was learned yesterday that tho four Morgan liners cost the govern ment about $7O0,O0O each. They cost originally something over $1,O00.00e each.
 The gunboat, which it has been an nounced, could be purchased by thin government from Santo Domingo. proves to be the Restauracion. The SantC Domingo Consul said yesterday that she was not for sale, as far as he knows. She is one of three gunboa.s now lying in the harbor of Santo Do- mingo City. All three vessels were built one year ago in England. They are 20-knot boats. The Restauracion, like her sister boats, has main bat tery of seven guns, the calibre of which the Consul did not know A member Of the firm of Frame, Alston 6 Co. of 29 Broadway, told Capt. Rogers that he thought the gunboat could be bought, and has gone to Santo Domingo on his own responsibility to see what can be done.

DISCUSSING WAR TAXES.
Conferences With Secretary Gage Re garding the Sources of Revenue.

Washington, April 14.-Although no formal action has been taken by the house committee on ways and means to frame revenue bill providing for extra taxation to meet the expenses of war, several members of the commit tee have considered the question indi- vidually. Secretary Gage also is pre- pairing statement of possible sources of revenue in order to supply the ways and means committee with tech nical information should the occasion arise This information relates to the sources of revenue which were used during the late war, and will embody careful estimate of the amount of money which certain staple articles of domestic trade could be made to yield in war times. Use is being made of the tariff laws of the civil war period as a foundation, suitable allow ance being made for the change in con- ditions during the last thirty-five years.
 Members of the ways and means committee and of the senate finance committee are of the opinion that, owing to the growth of the country since the early sos, war taxes could now be levied which, while yielding ample revenues for the national de- fense. would not be burdensome to the people. It is the belief of several members of the ways and means com If tional revenue should be higher beer tax and stamp tax. The probable increase on beer would be from $1 to s2 per barrel, and this would yield an increased revenue, it is estimated, or about S40,OO0, 900. The stamp tax could be made prolific source of rev enue owing to the almost infinite ex- tent to which it could be appi1ed Some of the committeeman believe that it should be levied on all new and bonds, on checks and drafts, on deeds and mortgages, on affidavits and sworn statements before notarieS pub lie, and on every kind of legal instru- ment and conveyance. In addition to this the tax could be applied to many articles of domestic consumption which are at present free from taxa tion, but which during the late war were made profitable to the govern ment. These would yield much larger revenues than at that time, owing to the growth of the country's popula- tion. In case very large revenues are required, taxes on tea, coffee and matches may be imposed.
 Chairman Dlngley of the ways and means committee has had several con- ferences with Secretary Gage on the subject of the proposed war taxes, and the probability that on account of the expected falling off of the import trade more extensive internal revenue measures will be required has been discussed at some length. Secretary Gage and MT. Dingley have also had a general talk with the president on the subject.
 The ways and means committee will not take definite steps in regard to the proposed legislation until war shall have become a certainty.

 MAY FORGE RECOGNITION.
 Washington, April 14.-Nine republi- can senators have agreed to vote for the Turpie amendment recognizing the independence of the present Gu ban government. The conservative sen- ators expect the Louse will stand firm for it's resolution if the senate adopts the Davis resolutions with or without the recognition amendment. The con- servatives believe the senate will in the end have to yield.

 Washington, April 14.-Mr. Penrose of Pennsylvania presented a telegram from Philadelphia which was read as follows: "The house resolution is dishwater. The Davis resolution sat- isfactory. Remember the Maine"
 THE CALM OF THE HOUSE.
 Washington, April 14-The session of the house today was dull and abso- lutely devoid of interest. Only routine business was transacted.
 THE HOUSE WANTS ACTION.
 Washington, April 14-Some house republicans are organizing a move ment looking to the acceptance of the senate resolutions when they pass that body. They fear the resolutions will go to the conference, that concessions may be made and delay follow, the senate resolution being more vigorous to please many of the radicals better than the house resolutions.

He Didn't Drop.

His name was Moses Sparrow. He
was very green. That was tAc idea
that always came into Miss Page 8
mind when she looked at her country
landladys son. Such a rustic youth
with such fair hair, such big blue eyes,
such sloping shoulders, such lamb
like expression. And being there at
the farmhouse, whittier she had been
sent to spend the summer months, the
city belle resolved that she would try
her powers Of fascination upon the
boy, who struck her as so good a sub
jcct for Irritation, in which all the fun
was 70 be on her side and all the zen
timcnt Oh his.
And ut it she went, beginning with
smile, 4 word, and rejoicing to see
the fish bite 80 readily. She enjoyed
herself very much untl she grew tired
OF it, and then she decided on break
ing the heart she had won and enjoy
ing the crash. So she turned him out
in the garden, and madc him sit beside
her on the bench under the wistarias,
and said, sadly:
"I'm going home next week. l
shall send you wedding cards when
m married. I'm to be married to a
rich old gentleman next winter
Then she waited to see him drop at
her feet. He only said:

afraid I'D been goin' too far with you.

Then he smiled at Miss Page, and
she arose and sailed away from him

Brought Into Prominence.

Deacon Comstock, of Hatford Conn. :,
is well-known as being provided with
All enormous handle TO his counter
ance, in the shape of huge nose, in
fact it is remarkable for it's great
length. On late occasion, when
taking up collection in the church
in which the deacon belongs, as he
passed through the congregation every
person to whom he presented the bag
seemed to be possessed by sudden
and uncomfortable desire to laugh.
The deacon did not know what to
make of it. He had often passed
around before. but no such effects as
these had he ever before witnessed.
The secret, however, leaked out. He
had been afflicted for day or two
with sore on his nasal appendage,
and had placed small piece of stick
ing plaster over it. During the morn
ing of the day in question the plaster
had dropped off, and the deacon see
ing it as he supposed. on the floor,
picked it up and stuck it on again. But
alas for men who sometimes make great
mistakes, he picked up instead one of
those pieces of paper which the man
ufacturers of spool cotton paste on the
end of every spool, aud which reads:
Warranted to hold out 200 yards. !"
Such sign on such nose was enough
to upset the gravity Of even a Puritan
congregation.
