ment. Without health, all the talent, all
the genius, and all the ambition in the
world are worthless. A boy should be
taught that success In any walk of life, that
happiness and life itself, are dependent
upon his care of his health.
When q man feels that he is losing his
health and vigor, when his cheeks no long
er glow, his step Is no longer elastic and
the sparkle of health Is no longer In his
eyes, he should work less, rest more and
resort to the right remedy to restore his
bodily vigor. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical

certain manuscripts concerning Othello

convent at Venice. They are notes
taken in 1912 by Cretan diplomat

WASHINGTON LETTER.
FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON, APRIL Is. 1898.

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON, APRIL Is. 1898.
There has been no occasion for any
body to find any fault with the rapid.
ity with which important events have
followed each other during the past
week. The signing by the President
of the armed Intervention resolution;
the ultimatum to Spain; the breaking
of diplomatic relations with US by
Spain; the proclamation declaring to
the nations of the world the intention
of the United States to blockade Ha.
vana and other Cuban ports; the act
ual establishing of that blockade; the
capture of Spanish merchant vessels
by ships of the blockading squadron;
the proclamation calling for $4,000
men to serve two years, unless sooner
discharged. That is the weeks record
of the most important acts of the exec
utive branch of the government.
Congress has not been idle during
the week. 1t passed the bill authoriz
Ing the formation of volunteer army !;
the bill for recognizing the regular
army and increasing it in time Of war
to $4,000 men; adopted a resolution
declaring the existence of a state Of
war between the United States, besides
doing the usual amount Of routine bus.
mess and attending the funeral of the
late Senator Walthall. of Mass, which
was held in the Senate chamber on Sat.
urday and was attended by the Presi-
dent and all the members of the cabi.
net.
The Ways and Means committee of
the House upon which devolvsd the
duty of preparing the bill to provide
the money to pay the expenses of The
war, has performed that duty and re-,
ported the bill to the House. The bill
by the imposition of new internal rev.
enue taxes and an increase of the taxes
on beer and manufactured tobacco pro-
vides for an estimated increase of 800
100000 in the country's annual rev.
enues. 1t also provides for the Issue
of $5O0,0O0,OO0 in 3 per cent. coin
bonds, to run from ten to twenty years
at the option of the government, and
authorizes the issue Of $lO0,000,00O in
8 per cent. certificates of Indebtedness
by the treasury, The expectation is
that the bill will be passed this week.
as the disposition of Congress is to push
everything connected with the conduct
of the war through without prolonging
discussion, recognizing the moral effect
upon the world of speedy and united
action by Congress upon war measures.
The lighting is not likely to be as
speedy in arriving as the events which
Immediately preceded ths opening OF
the war. So far as known the bulk of
the Spanish navy is on the other side
of the Atlantic, with the intention Of

remaining there and deyoting it's atten-
ton to hunting for stray American
merchant vessels which can be taken
without fighting. There are numerous
reports about their coming over here
to fight, but our naval officers do not
believe them, although they would be
more than glad to have them do so.
Our navy will not attack the forts Of
the Cuban ports it is blockading, unless
it is first attacked by the forts, at least,
not for while. The present object is
to make the blockade Thoroughly effec
tive and to capture and destroy all the
Spanish ships that can be found. In
addition to that, a small force will
probably be landed at some port that
is accessible to the insurgent army, in
order that it may be furnished the sup
plies and ammunition it needs to ena
BILE it to assume the aggressive toward
the Spanish army. Food will also be
landed for free distribution to the poor.
While this is going on IN Cuba and
Cuban waters the volunteer army will
be gotten together in camps Of instruc.
ton and prepared at the earliest mo.
ment to procede to Cuba and drive the
Spanish army of the island. This will
take time. So it is just as we'll not to
expect news of much fighting, unless
the Spanish forts seek an engagement
with the blockading squadron, or our
Asiatic squadron finds the Spanish
squadron it is hunting for, for several
weeks to come.
