Spain MAY Declare War.

Bosox, April l5.-Official dispatches
from Madrid received by the Minister OF
Foreign Affairs declare that Spain.
goaded by the passionate demands Of
her people, may forestall the United
States by declaring war at once.
No3matter what course the Ministers
may want to pursue, the dispatches say,
this move on the part of Spain will be
forced upon her by the irresistible

press for revenge for the constant lin.

by the people of the United States.

New York Militia First.

New YORK, April 15.-The vigilan
search into the laws relating to the
power of the President to call on the
State militia to invade a foreign country
is now being made, and the latest med
ical instructions issued to the Seventy.
first Regiment, N. G. N. Y, indicate
that the militia may torn part of al
army that will invade Cuba.
Col. Greene, of the Seventy first, is
said to be so highly esteemed by the
chief officers of the regular army that he
will be made brigadicr general as soon
as war begins, and his regiment will be
one OF the first to go to Cuba That be-
lief arises from the fact that all the men-
bers of ,he regiment have received in
structions from the medical department
as TO the precautions which should be
observed in tropical climate.
The instructions specify that only
boiled water should be nsed for drink
ing and bathing, that liquor should be
tabooed, and coffee and quinine taken
before going out in the morning.
Vaccination is regarded as n prime
necessity; soldiers must not be out at
night, are instructed to change their
clothing every day and avoid danpness
at all times.
The officers are instructed to carry a
bicycle watch, Il corkscrew, q,linne
pills, liver pills, aromatic spirits of am
monia and rubber folding tub.
Assistant Secretary of War Meikle-
john says the army will be composed of
the regulars, the organized malitia and
the volunteers, in the order named.
The MALTA, organized or otherwise, he
says cannot be called out for service blythe
President, except in the event of insur-
rectlon or invasion, unless Congress

Kicnaros on the County High School.

He deuounces the passage of the
act as a piece of dirty politics and a

If it was wrong to establish the

it is wrong TO continue the school

wrong to steal horse, it is wrong to
keep the stolen horse after knowledge

citation of that act, let Lawrence and
Neil, his candidates for the legisla.
ture, publicly pledge themselves, if
elected, to favor bill giving the pee
pie a vote upon the proposition of
continuing or disseminating the
school.
He claims the Republican central
committee recently passed a resolu-
ton to the effect that IL was the sense
of the committee that no levy ought
to be made for public buildings for
school purposes until authorized by a
vote of the people.
What does that signify? What has
the Republican central committee to
do with the levying of taxes?
It's like the darkey's rabbit trap, set
to catch them coming and going.
Richards well knows, and doe; not
intend that their candidates for
superintendent, commissioner and
trustees should be Influenced by that
resolution. II he is not intending to
deceive the voters, let those candi-
dates pledge themselves to make no
appropriation or levy for building
purposes until the people Of the
county vote for the same. The peo-
pie want no double dealing. Promises
from Andy Richards are worthless,
and caunOt bind the superintendent,
trustees and commissioners.
Will the candidates make the
pledge? No they will not. They ex.
pect the city vote, because it is I'm
derstood that they will make the
levy. And they expect the county
