Absolutely pure is the claim made in every
advertisement OF the Royal Baking Powder
and absolutely pure is the verdict Of every
housekeeper in the land using the Royal. 1t
is the standard among baking powders, worth
the price sold at, because of its purity,
healthful ead-making qualities and the
strength that makes a small quantity go a
long way. No trouble about delicious biscuit
and pastry when the Royal is used.

SPAIN CAN'T SURRENDER.
The Madrid Liberal Comments on the
Message.

Madrid, April 12, $3.50 a. m.-The Liberal
this morning publishes what appears TO
be a nearly complete translation OF Pres
ident McKinley's message to Congress on
the Cuban question, printing It's salient
points in large type
Commenting on the message, the Liberal
says: Although the dispatches are ex-
tensive. they do not suffice for the forra
ton of definite conclusions. The mis-
translation of word or phrase would
produce a complete misunderstanding a j,
absolute dependence upon the ac ,uracy
Of the first transmission in so serious an
affair would be grave indscreton.
Nevertheless, IL may be said that in a gen,
eral sense, IL affirms and declares in lhe
name of the nation the right of interfer-
ence ia Cuba.
Whether a definite or indefinite period
is meant, and whether ii IL a simple int
nation or a fixed decision regarding com
ing events Spain must protest energetic
ally against the principle, prior to protest.
ing violently against the action.
mo free people can hesitate 10 reject by
all the means In las power a doctrine an
nulling its personality and reducing Il to
ignominious tutelage. Consentlng to sub
nit to Il would be equivalent TO SPANS
resignation of her place among European
nations.
America clearly Indicates her intention.
hitherto veiled with hypocritical ambigul-
ties. America considers Spain incapable
of maintaining her sovereignty In Cuba
We have put up with everything; but IN
less we ignore our history and consider the
peninsular on level with Paraguay, iso.
lated from the rest of the world. we can
not and will not submit to this.
In conclusion the Liberal says: "To
avoid it, and 10 restore the self-respect
due 10 ourselves, which Is more important
than the position Of Cuba, II becomes
necessary to unite in one all Spanish arms
ana hearts. Let Madrid, let the whole Of
spain recall what we have been and what
we cannot cease TO be while physical and
moral laws forbid the suicide Of nations
