Washington, April 1.-THE sub-com-
mittee of the committee on foreign re-
lations appointed to draft report and
prepare a form of resolutions outlin-
ing a course of action which this gov
ernment shall pursue towards Spain
with reference to Cuba, SO far COM
pleted its work today that it will be
able to report to the full committee at
it's meeting tomorrow
The subcommittee will recommend
the adoption of resolution declaring,
in the first place for the recognition
Of the independence of the Cuban re-
public, and in the second for the in
tervention by the United States with
her army and navy for the purpose of
assisting the Cubans to secure inde-
pendence in case Spain continues to
refuse to concede it.
The committee will treat the rescind-
Ing of the order for the concentration
Of the Cuban non-combatants as a
subterfuge and will dwell upon the
past IL llOl lIt pItStIl treatment VI
these unfOrtunates; will detail the
Maine incident and ATTEMPT to demon
strate that it is a sufficient cause for
the declaration of war if this country
were desirous of making it such, and
also will touch upon the injury to
American interests caused by the Gu
ban struggle as a full justification for
our interference.
There has been an effort to persuade
the committee that SDain'S release of
the reconcentradoes leaves the United
States practically without excuse for
Intervention, but the committee has
rot so far been convinced by this rea-
sCning and there is great unanimity
n the rejection of this view, as there
is in the decision as to the general
course to be pursued.
The committee will report upon Mon
Gay unless it is then made evident
that it has been impossible for the
president to coTplete his promised
message for lack of time.
The disposition of the committee is
now against much farther postpone
| ment for any cause. The committee S
| present information is, however. to the
| effect that the message will be ready
| for submission by Monday.

And fixed among the impor-
tant principles of hygiene and health is
the acknowledged necessity of good
Spring Medicine.
Just as firmly established by the ex-
periences of millions of people, is the
positive fact that Hoods Sarsapari.la
is "far and away" the best blood puri-
fer and spring medicine everproduced.
The necessity is found in the inn
pure condition. of the blood at this
season, owing to the close contine-
ment and breathing vitiatcd air in Of
fee, store, shop, house, schoolroom
or factory; excessive eating and drink
ing too rich and hearty food; late
hours and social indulgences. With
the blood thus thick and impure, the
machinery of life grinds hard.
Hoods Sarsapalilla pulities, vital
ICES and enriches the blood, builds NJ,
and strengthens the nerves and tones
the stomach. 1t oils up the machinery
of the whole body; the liver takes up
its work anew, the kidneys resume
activity, the ache goes out of the back,
the bowels are regulated, the appetite
restored, the food is relished and as
simulated.
Don't wait till you are thoroughly
sick before you begin to take Il Spring
Medicine.
Lock the door before the horse il
stolen.
Take Hoods Sarsaparilla now as {
preventive and it will pay you thou
sand fold in health and strength through
the coming summer.

SOME MINING STATISTICS.
Psnnsyivania's Yearly Coal Outpui
could FiiI 100000 Cars.

The Mining Bulletin of the Pennsyl-
vania State college has made an inter-
esting exhibit of the coal production of
Pennsylvania. Last year the produce
tion was A6,947 $50 tons of anthracite
and 50 ,672, 500 tons of bituminous coal
sufficient in amount to fill three million
freight cars, which in a train would
be long enough to reach nearly twice
around the globe.
Every 10000 tons of anthracite coal
mined and sold cost one life and more
than two serious injuries, employing
226 miners. Every 100000 tons of
bituminous coal means the loss of one
life and injuries to three others with
the employment of nearly 600 men.

Liverpool displayed more steadness than was expected after the late show of weakness in yesterday s market here, while the receipts at Minne- apolis and Duluth continued to fall off. But the frmness disappeared almost before trading got fairly started. Private continental cables reported constantly increasing stocks in Rus sian ports. with continued free offerings from Russia. This was a of much weakness like effect to-day. The market continued rather dull for about hour and a half, but by Ii o'clock trade had begun to broaden out very materially and prices to advance with a rapid ity that somewhat astonishing and pleas ing to the bears.
