which have existed for more than three
years on the island of Cuba, so near our
borders, have shocked the moral sense
of the people of the United States, have
been disgrace to Christian civilization,
eliminating as they have, in the destruc-
ton of United States battleship with
two hundred and sixty-six of its officers
and crew while on friendly visit in the
harbor of Havana and cannot longer be
endured, as set forth by the president
of the United States in his message to
congress of April II, 1893, upon which
the action of congress was invited, there
fore,
Resolved, by the senate and house of
representatives of the United States in
congress assembled.
First-That the people of the island of
Cuba are and of right ought to be free
and independent.
Second-That it is the duty of the
United States to demand. and the gov
ernment of the United States does here
by demand, that:the government of
Spain at once relinquish its authority
and government in the island of Cuba,
and withdraw its land and naval forces
from Cuba and CUBAN waters.
Third-That the president of the Unit
ed States be, and he hereby is, directed
and empowered to use the entire land
and naval forces of the United States,
and call into the actual services of the
United States the militia of the several
states, to such an extent as may be ne
cessary to carry these resolutions into ef-
feet.
Fourth-That the United States here
by disclaims any disposition or intention
to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction or
control over said island, except for the
paclfcation thereof, and asserts its de-
termination, when that is accomplished,
to leave the government and control of
the island to its people.
The ultimatum was presented to the
Spanish cabinet by Woodford on Thurs
day. The ultimatum is, that Spain
must, by Saturday, agree to evacuate
Cuba.
The Spanish cortes met on Wednes-
day. The Queen Regents speech and
the talk of the members give no sign OF
acceding to the ultimatum.
The U. S. House of Representatives
has passed bill declaring all citizens,
and those of foreign birth, who have de-
clared their intention, between the ages
of ls and As, liable to military duty and
empowers the president to call on such
numbers as he may choose in case of
war.
The Spanish minister Senior Polo de-
manded his passports on Wednesday,
and is now in Toronto with his family
and suite, and will sail for Spain from
Halifax.
There is hardly possible chance but
that Sunday morning at the latest will
find us at war with Spain. And it may
come at any minute if Spain chooses to
answer sooner.
Our minister to Spain, General Wood
ford was handed his passport Thursday
noon, and left Madrid at 4 O'Clock.
This sewers diplomatic relations and is
equivalent to declaration of war.
Another despatch states that the Span
ish fleet had sailed from Cape de Verde
Islands, of course the destination would
be unknown.
The north Atlantic squadron left yes
terday, supposed to blocade Havana.

A Bolt of Lightning

During the thunder storm Sat
urday evening a bolt of lightning
ran into the residence of Robert
Patterson ON the electric light
wire, burning out all the electric
lights, scortching the moulding
along two sides of the parlor and
removing small patch of plaster
ing. just outside of the yard
fence the lightning burned a
small patch of weeds. The family
and several guests were in the
parlor at the time and each one
received sligh shock. 1t was a
miracle that no damage was done
aside from that above stated.

FIVE DOLLARS IN SIX YEARS
Charles Donnelley's Contribution
Towards housekeeping

The following is the Denver
Times report of divorce case in
which several Florence people are
interested. The plaintiff was
granted divorce on Saturday.
Her husband is printer who at
various times has been employed
in all the printing offices here.
The testimony in the suit for
divorce brought against Charles
E. Donnelley by Mary G.. Don
nelley was heard in Judge John
sons division of the district court.
Mrs. Donnelley, pretty little
woman, took the witness stand and
told about her life with tho man
from whom she now wishes to be
divorced. She said she had sup
ported herself for six sears, ever
since she and her husband came to
Denver. She is a book binder, and
is now employed at that trade
Mrs. Donnelley soys that in all
the time she has been married to
her husband, and during all that
time he has been regularly en-
ployed at u good salary, she has
received for her own use but S5
from him. This he sent her from
Florence shortly after he went
there to live with his parents. He
went away year and half ago,
and since that time she has lived
alone, taking care of herself.

skln wnl Conquer brute Force.

1t is an axiom to say that with equal
ships on both sides the result of fight
will depond upon tho steadinoss, the in
telligence and the training of the men,
wI.tes Professor Ira N. Koilis in Tho
Atlantic. After all, it is they who form
the chief element as we'll in these days
as IN the past, when our weapons and
ships were of a more elementary type.
Tho ability and bravery of our people
cannot be questioned. One of the finest
episodes of history is the sinking of the
Cumberland at Hampton Roads. Her
crew went down firing the guns until
the ship was submerged, and the hng
WAS never lowered.
In calculating the chances of victory
we must take into account the disposi-
tons and character of our opponents.
AIRY deficiency in their mechanical
knowledge and skill is certain to invite
defeat. Bravery goes for naught in the
presence of machinery if people be
hampered by tradition and methods be-
longing to the middle ages. Evidence
for the present case may be gathered
from the behavior of the descendants OF
the Spaniard in South America. The
machinery of their ships has always
suffered except in the hands cf foreign
engineers, principally Scotch and Eng
lish, hired for the purpose. That they
have courage when cornered is un,
doubted.
The distinction between those men
and ours is not ono of bravery, but one
of mechanical knowledge and force,
which seem likely to be the determining
factors in this particular war

WORKING ON DEFENsEs
Spaniards in Porto Rico Preparing
for the Final Struggle

New York, June 2O-Captain
Sarrant, of the British steamer
Albrough, arrived here today di-
rect from San Juan, Porto Rico.
He says the American feet can
never get into San Juan harbor as
the channel is only twenty feet
deep and it is well torpedoed. He
further says that the Spaniards
have been busy ever since Samp-
sons bombardment strengthening
the harbor defenses, putting in ad-
ditional guns in the forts, placing
mines out into the harbor, and in
fact making great preparations for
final struggle.

BLOWN TO ATOMS
Man Killed by the Explosion
Thought 10 be a Spaniard
TWO OTHERS MAKE ESCAPE

Cincinnati, June 20-The
smokeless powder house of the
Kings Co, was blown up at mid
night. Everything in the immedi-
ate neighborhood was complete
wreck. The loss, while not known
is thought to be very large. A
man, thought to be a Spaniard,
was picked up near by, showing
that he had been killed by the
explosion. Two others were seen
running away and it is thought
they belong to the marauders.
