equal Quantity of cold water Stir
until we'll mixed but not until light,
then add enough confectioners' sugar
(XXX) to thicken-about a pound
or pound and quarter will be re-
quired. Remove the stones from
dates. roll lump of the cream into
a long roll and fill it into the space
left by the removal of the stone
This cream may be used in many
ways Nut candies may be made as
follows: Take a lump OF the cream
as large as hickory nut and place
on either side of it kernel from an
English walnut. Squeeze the two
kernels well together and rim of the
cream will come out all around the
nuts. These are very delicious.

Spain Must Receue.

Indianapolis News.
If there is any possibility of in
fuencing Spain in the direction of
peace, it should be made the most of.
But there can be no peace unless
Spain recedes from her present posi-
ton. The feeling in the United
States is far removed from the lingo
spirit. The American people are
profoundly convinced that the time
is come for Spanish rule in Cuba to
cease. They are tired of the con-
fusion and anarchy which have pre-
vailed in that island for years, and
which they believe will continue to
prevail as long as Spanish sovereign
ty is maintained. Unless, therefore,
Spain is prepared to withdraw from
Cuba, it will be useless tor the pope
or anyone else to attempt mediation
between the two powers.

WAR STILL NEARER.

The war cloud hangs heavier and
more threatening this morning than
at any period since the opening of
the controversy between the United
States and Spain.
At an early hour this morning
both Houses of Congress resched an
agreement, adopting by vote of AZ
to 35 in the Senate and 800 to in
the House the resolutions previously
adopted by the Senate with the
omission of the clause recognizing
ne independence of the existing
Cuban republic.
The resolutions mean that Spain
must at once voluntarily surrender
Cuba or she will be compelled to do
SO by the armed forces of the United
States; that Cuba must be free and
independent and that the United
States will not exercise sovereignty
over the island except for the pacif-
cation thereof.
All of this means war unless Spain
yields to the demands of the United
States.
After the President signs the reso-
buttons, which he will probably do
today, the ultimatum will be pre-
sented to Spain and her answer will
be eagerly awaited.
The resolutions as finally agreed
TO by Congress are as follows:
"Joint Resolution for the recogni-
ton OF the independence OF the people
of Cuba, demanding that the gov.
eminent of Spain relinquish it's au.
thor1ty and governmental the island
of Cuba, and withdraw it's land and
naval forces from Cuba and Cuban
waters, and directing the President
of the United States to use the land
and naval forces of the United States
to carry these resolutions into effect.

SOME HINDRANCE TO BUSINESS
Effects of the Scare BEING Felt-FaiI-
ures Last Week.

ufeS Last week.
NEW YORK, April Is. r G. Dun &
Co.'S Wee kiy Review OF Trade today
says The meaning OF Congress re-
gardng Spain is not in doubt, but the
form of declaration at this hour is in
question. The Pres dents message
has been accepted as a strong state
ment of the situation, and the ques-
ton in Congress is whether it will,
without change, adopt his proposal.
Preparations for war continue as if it
were inevitable. There is some him
drance in business, and yet the volume
of payments through clearing houses
is still II 9 per cent larger than last
year, and outside New York about %
per cent, larger than in 1892, though
speculative stagnation here makes the
aggregate lower. The Industries are
doing well, because they have enor-
nous orders, taken in February and
March or earlier, which ensures opera
tions for periods varying from fort
night to several months.
The volume OF legitimate business
is enormous, and meanwhile failures
are remarkably small; for the week
they have been Psi in the United
States against POI last year; and Is in
Canada against 30 last year.

The relative merit and efficiency
of Paine's celery compound, in cons
parison with all other remedies for
making people well, is clearly shown
in the intelligent character and res
spoDsible standing of the people who
today rely on it to cure insomnia,
nervous debility, persistent heads
aches and rundown condition.
It's power of rapidly repairing the
| tissues and cleansing the blood
makes Paine's celery compound the
great saver of life that it is. 1t
brings just the needed nutriment
to the weakened nerve tissues all
over the body, and increases the
volume of healthy blood, so that

! averted.

SPAIN AS A SEA WEIR.
Would Have But Little Show With
United States.

Would Have But Little Show With
United States.
From the Atlanta Journal
If Spain should prove effective on
the sea now, she would reverse her
record for more than three hundred
years.
Not since the battle of Lepanto,
when Joined with the Venetians and
Genoese, she oyercame the Turkish
feet, has Spain won fight with any
other nation at sea.
1t has been three hundred and ten
years since Francis Drake annihila-
ted what the storm had left of the
Invincible Armada. Nelson struck
Spain another terrific blow when he
met the combined Spanish and
French fleets at Trafalgar. Since
that time there have been several
striking instances of Spanish incom-
potency in naval warfare, the most
notable being that which was shown
in her expedition against Peru in
1866, on account of alleged mis-
treatment of some Spanish subjects.
The Spanish squadron on that ex-
petition consisted of seven vessels,
mounting twenty seYen guns, and to
oppose it the Peruvians borrowed
three craft from Chill, one a vessel
carrying forty-two smooth bores,
one small one-gun monitor, and
the third a diminutive Merrimac,
carrying two guns. The result OF
the engagement was the utter dis
comfture of the Spaniards.
In comparing the relative strength
OF our navy with that of Spain the
difference between the men in the
ships of the two nations is a big
factor to be taken into the account.
AS we have also an advantage in the
number and power of ships, it will be
seen that in naval engagement with
us Spain would have little show.
