Intervention. 1t would not be regarded
as a declaration of war by other nations,
and there is no cause for Spain to so re-
gard it.. If she did insist upon regarding
1t as hostile act, upon Spain would be
the responsibility for beginning war.
The United States will demand ample
reparation for the wrong inflicted upon us
by the destruction Of the Maine. 1t will
later on demand a satisfactory solution of
the Cuban problem. With the Maine dis

that danger of war has passed, but the
chances of peaceful settlement of our
troubles with Spain is considered possible.
Preparations for War.
Active and aggressive preparations for
war make for peace. This is the anom-
alous situation which a look underneath
the surface discloses. The history of the
week forms a splendid record of What can
be accomplished by the nation in short
space Of time under the spur of necessity
to provide for the national defense. Be
ginning with the appropriation of $50, 00O,-
900 to be expended by the President with
out limitation, there followed rapidly the
placing of orders for enormous quantities
of war supplies, the institution of nogota-
tions for and the actual purchase of ships
abroad, the enlistment of men for the

WOMAN'S FATE.
From the Record Bushnell, III

No woman is better able to speak to
others regarding 'woman's fate" than
Mrs. Jacob Weaver, of Bushnell, ILL.,,
wife of ex-City Marshal Weaver. She
had entirely recovered from the illness
which kept her belfast much of the time
for five or six years past, and says her
recovery is due to that well-known rem
edy, DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
Mrs Weaver is fifty-six years old, and
has lived in Bushnell nearly thirty years.
She is of unquestioned veracity and un-
blemished reputation. The stor, Of her
recovery is interesting. She says:

the trouble that comes to women at this
time of my life. l was much weakened,

BUYS WAR SHIPS.
Uncle San, Secures Two Formidable
Brazilian Cruisers.

A weeks negotiations closed by the pur-
chase by the Navy Department in London
of the two fine cruisers built and building
at Elswick for the Brazilian Government.
The vessels are named the Amazonas and
Admiral Abreuall and are modern in ev-
cry respect.
Possibly the officials took more pleasure
in closing up the business because of the
knowledge that the Spanish agents had
been striving to secure these very ships.
One of the ships is complete in every re-
spect, has her coal supply and ammunition
on board, and steam car be raised at any
time. 1t is said the coal and ammunition
ON board passed with the sale to the Unit
ed States. The ammunition is not all of
the kind in use by the United States
navy, so the supply of ammunition is a
necessary adjunct to the new ships. The

These proJectiles are for the heavy fortifi-
cation guns now mounted along the sea
coast. The purchase is not to be made
under the fifty million defense appropria-
ton bill, but is in anticipation of the for
tihcation bill, which grants 500 900 for
a reserve supply of projectiles and powder.
AS the making of the heavy projectiles
will take considerable time the contract
will be let ahead of the passage of the
bill, assurances having been given from
men in Congress that no question would
be raised as to the regularity of this pro-
ceeding. The entire amount IL designed
to give all the heavy guns now installed
and those to be put in place during the
coming year, full quota of projectiles
and powder. The 12-inch shot are among
the largest made. The cost of a single
round of this class of projectiles is $511.
Aside from the large order placed
Monday the emergency bill permits addi-
tional orders to meet the requirements
of such fertilization guns as may be
mounted for emergency. The present Or
der is for the actual needs of the guns now
mounted, without reference to any exist
