At a cabinet meeting it was an
nounced that Spain's answer to the ulti-
matum of this government was unsatis-
factory, and a policy which seems GER
tainly to involve hostilities was de-
c4ded upon. President Mckinley will
send a message to congress explaining
the status of affairs and asking the CO.
operation of the Legislative body in
dealing with Spain. One of the signi1i-
cant happenings of the day was an Of
fer of mediation by France, but it was
automatically declined by the presi-
dent.
The opinion held in Washington by
public men and diplomatists is that the
crisis will reach it's climax this week
and that the question of war with Spain
or peace will be determined within the
next seven days. The disposition to
hurry the president seems to have dis
appeared in congress since members
realize that his message must be docu-
ment that is to justify congress in it's
action, whatever his recommendations.

A Good Blood Purifier Neces-
slty Now
Hoods SarsapariIIa UnequaIIed for
Making Rich, Red Blood.

The necessity for taking good Spring
Medicine to purify the blood and build up
the system is based upon natural and I'M
avoidable causes. In cold weather there
has been less perspiration and impurities
have not passed out Of the system as they
should. Food has consisted largely of
rich, fatty substances, and there has been
less opportunity for outdoor exercise.
The result is, the blood is loaded with inn
purities and these must be promptly ex-
PEELED or health will be endangered.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the best Spring
Medicine because it is the best blood
purifier and tonic. It thoroughly purifes
the blood and gives vigor and vitality.

1t has been truthtully said that Johnny

pean country the extent. power. resources
and ability of the American nation. He
came by his knowledge in manner that
will not allow it to be readily forgotten.
He knows the metal of the American
people we'll enough to realize that if he
does forget they are ready, able and
willing to remind him. His friendly
policy, made manifest in divers manners,
has grown out of a respect for American
proves. He realizes that if he must
have an ally, the latter nation is the
Logical candidate. Whether or not the
Americans will ever ally themselves with
Great BritAin it must be conceded that
the friendliness of the latter nation has
been invaluable in preventing European
intrusion in the present trouble, and the
Americans can not but be appreciative
of the fact.
