Thnn Sncrl fee Inhenendcnce.

New York, April THE Cuban iunta,
through its counsel, Huatio s. Ruhens,
yesterday declared in unequivocal Ian
guage that the Cuban provisional gov
ernment and the Cuban army would
reject absolutely intervention by the
United States unless it should be pre-
ceded by a recognition of the independ-
ence of the Cuban republic; that if the
United states persisted in intervening
without recognizing Cuban independ-
ence, the Cuban government and mill
tary forces would refuse to cooperate,
and that if United States troops should
be sent t. cuba upon the basis of in
tervention without recognition, the Gu
ban army would, in the last resort
turn its arms against the United
States.
Last evening Mr.. Rubens supple
mented his utteranccs with this writ

1.-THE statement appearing over my
name was based on the indications ap-
pearing that the object of the United
States in refusing 20 recognize the in

WHAT 1T INDICATES

Nothing SO interleres with ones plans or
ambition like sickness or poor health Have
you ever thought that your kidneys may be the
cause of your sickness? You can easily find
out by setting aside your urine for twenty -four
hours a sediment or settling indicates an un-
healthy condition of the kidneys. When urine
stains linen it is evidence of kidney trouble
Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the
back, isalso convincing proof that the kidneys
and bladder are out Of order.
1t is a source of comfort to know that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root is the great remedy for
all kidney and bladder complaints. 1t relieves
pain, stitch or dull aching in the back, difficult
or painful urination, frequent desire to urinate,
scalding or pain in passing it, and quickly
overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to get up many times during the
night The mild and extraordinary effect OF
Swamp-Root is soon realized. Its action is
gentle, yet immediate, the relief speedy and
the cures permanent. At druggists fifty cents
and one dollar. You may have sample bottle

The first shot was sent out with a SER
vice charge of S5 pounds Of powder,
the gun being elevated at five degrees.
The 200 pound shell left the muzzle of
the gun at a velocity of 1000 feet a
second. 1t struck the water two and
three-quarter miles from the ship, send
ing up a vast column of water. The
second shot was with the full powder
charge, 40 pounds, and sent the pro-
jectile very near four miles, putting 1t
in the water at a speed of 1000 feet
per second. There was no perceptible
jarring from the shot.

HAWAIIAN RoYALTSTS DIVIDED.
one of Their Former Leaders Urges
Adherence to the Republic.

Adherence to the Republic.
Honolulu, via San Francisco, April 7.
The old Royalist party of Hawaii is
hopeessly divided, and i'll feeling be-
tween the two factions is becoming
more and more intense. Friendships
of long standing have been greatly
strained within the last few davs. A
Royalist meeting was held recently, but
adherents of the eX-queen did not at
tend it, those present being Hawahans
who favor Princess Kiaulani TAe old
party adheres firmly to Liliuokalani
and restoration. 1t declines to recog-
nize any other platform or set of prin-
ciples 1t is the largest and most
powerful faction.
This faction has denounced a native
named Kaulia, a member of the Ha-
waiian commission just returned from
Washington. Baulia claims that res
toration and annexation are both dead,
and he advises the Hawaiians to unite
in support of the republic, take the
oath Of allegiance, register and par
ticipate in the politics of the country.
One of Kaulia's friends states that the
ex-commissioner is very ambitious in
a political way, and that he will be a
candidate for the office Of president of
Hawaii if an election is held under the
laws of the present republic

difficulty arises in the supplies of soft
coal kept at coaling stations.
Fuel is the vital and most import
ant factor in the effective service of
II war vessel, and for many years it
was the practice in trial trips to use
anthracite. In almost every instance
the line officers recognize the advan-
tages of anthracite. From every
point of view anthracite offers de-
cided and substantial advantages
over soft coal. Its steaming propen-
stiles are as great; it is easier to
handle and safer to store; it is smoke
less, and free from danger of spon-
taneous combustion.
The members of the club decided
to take immediate action on the
matter, and the committee will prob
ably go to Washington to urge the
measure upon the Naval Department.
If they are successful it will result in
great benefit to the miners of this
region. But while Luzerne and
Lackawanna county people are agi-
tating this subject, Schuylkill is do
ing nothing.

Key West, Fla, April THE Mas
cote arrived here last night with SO
passengers aboard. She is coaling at
the government dock and will return
TO Havana as soon as through. Consul
General Lee did not come There is
great excitement here. Every state
room on the Mascotte was engaged.
The city Of Key West will have a big
crowd today. It is reported that there
is great excitement at Havana, but no
disorder.
Intense disappointment was eXhib-
tied by all hands on board the flagship
New York when news regarding the
reported settlement at Madrid was
read Until o'clock last evening It
was confidently believed the fleet would
sail today or tomorrow for Havana or
Porto Rico, and the pacific news came
like a bombshell, Captain Sampson
read the dispatch with eager interest,
after which IT was read at the messes.
He believes that there is still a chance
that the American navy may have an
opportunity 70 show what II is made
Of, but he regrets the delay, which
will probably enable Spain 10 bring her
torpedo notilla and other warships to
these waters. All the high naval au-
thorities on board maintain that Spain
shoull not be allowed 10 bring her
forces over pending settlement.

The promotion of movement
favorable to the use of anthracite
coal as fuel for the United States
Navy, inaugurated sometime ago
by the Anthracite Coal Operators
Association, with headquarters in
New York, was supplemented on Tues
day at Wilkesbarre by a similar effort
on the part of the Commercial Club,
composed principally of leading coal
dealers. The meeting was largely
attended.
Congressman Morgan b. Williams
has taken an active part in the move
ment, and he notified the above as
sociation that he had already inter
ested Senators Quay and Penrose and
various Congressman in the move
ment, and he has arranged with these
representatives to call on the Secre-
tary of the Navy and confer with
him about the question of anthracite.
The members of the association were
urged to insist on the government
using anthracite coal on its vessels, as
they claim that much surprise has
been expressed that smOkeless coal
has not been provided both for coast
service and foreign cOaling stations.
During the discussion many argu-
ments were advanced in favor of the
use of anthracite. Following the
widespread use of smokeless powder,
it would seem that as many advant-
ages would attach to n fuel from
which no smoke was produced. In
stead, however the Navy has pt1r-
chased and is using soft coal which,
when burned and especially under
forced draught, yields an enormous
volume of black smoke. As a con
sequence of this the presence of IA
vessel can be discovered at nearly
fifty per cent. greater distance than
if no smoke came from its tunnels
In other words, where, in attacking
an enemy, vessel burning soft coal
may be discovered while at distance
of some eighteen miles, it could, in
burning antlracite, move to within
twelve miles without being observed.
In blockading, and especially for
the coast defence vessels, this is a
matter of the greatest consequence,
az during the day time there is every
advantage through the absence of
smoke, and at night there is almost
as much since biUuminous coal, when
under heavy forced draught, often
produces flame at the top of the
funnel
A further and more important dis
advantage caused by smoke is in the
fact that, when squadron of vessels
is in motion, dense cloud of smoke
hangs around them, preventing a
prompt reading of signals or The
ability to locate each vessel.
Still another serious disadvantage
in soft coal is in the constant danger
from spontaneous combustion in the
ships bunkers This is matter o
such common occurrence on bOarc
the vessels of the Navy that il
creates little remark, though the
least inattention on the part Of those
whose duty it is to observe the TEN
perature Of the various compart
ments might result in the loss of tlt
vessel and all of its men. The same

THE county seat newspaper that
has its "own direct wire" was the
laughing stock of the people north of
the mountain yesterday in fact,
they were indignant. The aforesaid
paper came out last evening with the
exclusive news by "our own direct
wire" to the effect that the Presi-
dents message was submitted to
Congress at noon yesterday and re-
ferred to the committees. Such enter
prise even surpasses the yellow
journals, but it is disgusting to in
telligent readers. The people in
this valley, as usual had to rely on
the HERALD for the authentic news
