In view Of the prevalence OF the various all.

spring salts contained in several bottles Of the
bottled waters. 1t is palatable. gentle and
effective and its constituents and efficacy can al
ways be relied upon. 1t dssolves the uric acid

STIRRING EDITORIAL EXPRESSION PRINTED BY
THE TINES" OF LONDON.
London. April 21.-"The Times" says edi-
torially this morning.
AT the opening Of the Cortes the widest
enthusiasm prevailed. and the American ulti-
matum may almost be said TO have been an
speech. couched in dlgnided and even touching
language. breathed an unaterable determination
to fight to the death for the honor and dignity
Of Spain. Though the Spanish people are unani-
nous for war and. in fact. cannot be induced TO
listen for a moment to any pr cticable expe-
dent for avoiding It. there few signs that
they have any adequate comprehension Of what
they undertake with light heart.
The Spanish preparations. SO far as they can
be judged at this distance. are by no means ad-
vanced to the condition which alone can give
value to popular enthusiasm The Spanish fleet
is thousands Of miles away from the scene Of
action. and can arrive in Cuban waters only
after the first moves have been made by the
United States. Unless Spain keeps command Of

munity OF blood origin and temper so eloquently
referred n yesterday at the Mansion House by
the American Ambassador
"As the Americans have been stirred up TO
