Danish West Indies.
WILL NOT BE PURCHASED.
Naval Appropriation Bill Passed-Number
of Torpedo Boats Increased to 24-Both
Houses Adjourn Untn Monday-war Pre-
dicted Within "a Week.

Washington, April I'm the open
session of the senate yesterday Mr..
Chandler called up the resolution he
introduced Thursday, requesting the
president to send the Cuban consular
correspondence to the senate, and at
his suggestion it was referred to the
committee on foreign relations. I'm
mediately afterwards, however, he in
troduced another resolution which
went over, calling upon the secretary
of state for the same information.
After the passage of few bills the
senate went into secret Legislative ses-
sion, the proceedings occupying the
greater part of the afternoon and be-
ing devoted to discussion of the wis
dom OF purchasing the Danish West
India islands. The session was closed
by the practical withdrawal of the
resolution by Senator Lodge, its author.
Senator Quay offered a resolution in
the following terms: THAT the com
| mittee on foreign relations be and is
hereby instructed to report on or be-
fore the 5th inst. a bill for the recog-
milton of the republic of Cuba" 1t
| went over under the rule.
These bills were passed: To author
ize the secretary of the interior to issue
| permit to the American Invalid soci-
| ETY., of Boston, to occupy 100 acres of
| land on the abandoned Fort Stanton
military reservation in New Mexico
| for a national Sanitarium for the treat
| ment of pulmonary diseases; to extend
| the right of communication to certain
homestead settlers on land in Okla
homa, opened to settlement under the
provisions of law; and to extend $40, 900
| to the University of Kansas as relief.
At 4:31 p. IN. the senate went from
secret legislative session into executive
session and soon afterward adjourned
until Monday.
HoUsE-After an exceedingly turbu-
lent session of six hours the house
passed the naval appropriation bill and
then adjourned until Monday. The
war spirit was manifested in all the
speeches and overrode the naval com
mittee itself by increasing the number
of torpedo boats and torpedo boat de-
stroyers to "a, the bill reported provid-
ing for but ~. The amendment of Mr.
Cannon. chairman of the appropriations
committee to reduce the number of
battlcships to one, was buried under
an overwhelming majority. The pro-
| vision relating to armor plate, which
in ordinary times would have precipi-
tated a debate of several days, was dis
posed of in 10 minutes proposition to
decrease the price agreed to in the bill
from $500 to $500 per ton being drowned
in perfect chorus of noes.
Mr.. Cannon during the course of the
day announced the belief of ma iority
of the members that war would be
upon US within week, and Mr.. De
Almond of Missouri, made a notable
speech declaring that if hostilities
were to come it is our duty to strike
the first blow

a Full War Complement.

Philadelphia, April 2. - The com
manders of the Pennsylvania national
guards say the guards in this city could
go out with every company marked up
to its full war complement of 100 men
inside of 4s hours. On emergency call
every company could go out with it's
peace complement inside of five hours.
In spite of assertions to the contrary,
it is a matter of fact that instructions
have been issued to have the guards in
readiness to move and every prepara-
tion is going forward to that end

Beware of Ointments for Cntarrh
That Contain Mercury,

as mercury will surely destroy the sense Of
smell and completely derange the whole sys-
tenn when entering it through the mucous
surfaces. Such articles should never be
used except on prescriptions from reputable
physicians, as the damage they will do is
often ten fold to the good you can possibly
derive from them. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co, Toledo,

nally, acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system. In buying

Their prospect OF active service most OF
the volunteers were anxious to lay
down their arms aud get back to civic
duties and obligations. Then began
the sensational extravaganza by the
yellow journals in New York and their
feeble imitators elsewhere which the
Spanisrds, and other Europeans as well,
misconstrued as Indicating the weak
ness OF the American army and OF
American character, both moral and
physical. The reports from the camps
and hospitals, with all their sensation
al coloripg, and the comments by the
bitterly partisan journals having in
mind only the near approach OF uolft-
ical campaign, were eagerly and joy-
ously snapped up and widely circuls ted
by the European press. Thus the bril-
liant achievements of the American
army and navy were in measure dis
counted and discredited and the hero
ism of the American soldier make q
mockery.
This is not new DEVELOPMENT.
SPANS hesitsncy and delay and the
impression that she might have sue
cessfully resisted the Americans to the
end If she had known how weak and in
capable of hardship they were are
founded on q misconceptions. Spain
sued for peace none too soon and she
will gain nothing by delaying negotia-
tions now.

ON Monday next the HERALD will
begin the publication of an eight page
paper daily. This gres, advance is
made possible by the splendid support
which has been given US during the
last year, support which has demon
strated clearly the marked favor with
which our efforts to publish a clean,
live, newsy, and reliable daily news
Aaper have been regarded by the
leeople of FL Psso and
the surrop nding territory. To
make this improvement possible, we
have been compelled to increase our
expenses largely. but as every enlarge -
ment OF the scope of the paper in the
past has meant increased prestige and
patronage, so we confidently believe
that this added evidence of our desire
TO serve the public faithfully will re-
ceive the substantial recognition it de-
serves. With the increased
size of the HERALD, We
shall cover more ground in the line Of
news. the local field will be even
more thoroughly covered than it
has been heretofore, new departments
will be added, and the art department
will have far wider field in which TO
work. Our aim will be to provide
good reading for every member OF ev-
cry family, and to justify more than
ever the title that the HERALD has
hoporably earned-the leading news
paper OF the great southwest.
